All Takes
The Broncos' wide defensive line alignment gives Josh Allen a free pass to scramble up the middle.
They line up super, super wide and when you line up super wide... it gives Josh Allen free reign to look at the guards, look at the center, figure out where he is gonna go... Josh is a guy who can drop back in a non non scheme anything and just be like, oh, the ends are by me. I'm gonna take what's given to me.
The Seahawks will beat the Broncos in the Super Bowl.
I've got the Seahawks beating the Bears in Seattle and then I've got the Seahawks beating the Broncos in the Super Bowl. Ooh. A little Seahawk. And I know it's chalky... just because they're higher seeds doesn't mean they're better teams.
Ben Johnson's 'psychopath' leadership is exactly what the Bears needed to change their culture
Everything this guy [Ben Johnson] does is so insane that it's authentic... next door neighbors to insanity. But the good kind of neighbor to insanity... in order to get that stench out of the building... you need a psychopath dude. And they've got one.
The Eagles will beat the Ravens in the Super Bowl
At the beginning of the season I picked the Eagles to beat the Ravens in the Super Bowl. And I thought myself a little bit insane at the beginning of the year... but then even more concerning the defense wasn't defensive in Baltimore... and Jalen Hurts will figure something out in the playoffs. If he does end up in the big game, he's gonna play his balls off.
Greg Olsen's Pop Warner team has a more complex offense than the Philadelphia Eagles
Greg Olson's got more routes in his offense with Luke Kuechly [on their Pop Warner team] than in that Pop Warner League... than the Eagles offense. I can promise you that. The route tree is primitive. People say it looks like a high school offense at times.
Andy Reid understands the offensive line position as well as any coach in the NFL
Andy Reid understands the offensive line position as well as anybody I've played around. He also gives the keys to the car to Andy Heck... Andy Reid knows that that's the strength of the football team. He talks to the lineman. He knows the lineman better than anybody.
The Chiefs have the best interior offensive line in the league
If we're gonna go group [of interior linemen], I'm gonna go Kansas City. Group is Kansas City. Because you're only as strong as the guy next to you. Tackle the tackle the inside three, they're great.
Offensive line sacks should be timed; after 5 seconds, it's the quarterback's fault
I think after five seconds it should be considered a tackle for loss [instead of a sack]... these dbs are supposed to cover for 10 seconds. That shouldn't be a completion against me.
Sam Howell's historically high sack numbers are due to him not throwing the ball rather than bad offensive line play
The Washington commanders, they are top five in the NFL with time before pressure. Right. Which tells me that Sam Howell is just not fucking throwing the ball.
The Bears must pay cornerback Jalen Johnson his contract extension
Pay Jalen Johnson. Lose the orange sleeves. Pay Jalen Johnson. Yes. Pay Jalen Johnson. I remember Joey, our Cap guy... I said, 'How much does [Jamie Collins] make?' He told me, I said, 'fucking watch this.' ... You sign early and then you get hurt, you're still taken care of.
NFL cornerbacks are the biggest psychos on a football team
I would say cornerbacks. If cornerbacks were any bigger, we would have to just put 'em all away... they just have so much confidence at all times. All cornerbacks... they're psychopaths... they lead the league in pointing at other people.
Carson Wentz panics and closes his eyes when the pocket breaks down
Carson Wentz, patted the ball a little bit. He was, he was floating into his O-linemen's backs. It's almost like he closed his eyes a little bit. ... He needs to go back and play Madden 2009. They had those mini drills where it was like the pad would just fill it at you, You have to left stick around the pocket.
Scoring a rushing touchdown is more demoralizing for a defense than a passing touchdown
Statistically speaking, you take a look at teams that lead the league in rushing touchdowns, running the football into the end zone is demoralizing for a defense... heads down, hands on hips... The past game: It's a quick touchdown. Okay, we'll get 'em back. They threw it in. The running game is like, go fucking replicate that ass whipping we just put on your defense.
The Chicago Bears will go 16-0 and run the table in 2017
Yeah, so, you know, obviously we're going to run the table in the regular season... We're going to roll the whole way down the river clean... 16-0.
Marcus Mariota is a genuine 'baller' and a high-character leader
I could spend an hour raving about Marcus Mariota. He just does shit the right way. He shakes everybody's hand, says hi to everybody, always smiles, and there's never malintent behind what he's saying. It's really cool to be around a guy like that who is actually a [fucking] baller.
Matt Barkley is the real deal as an NFL quarterback
Matt Barkley, real deal. Matt Barkley and Daniel Braverman, ladies and gentlemen. Write it down.
Marc Trestman was a genius offensive coordinator but not a head coach
Trestman was a great offensive coordinator, he just wasn't a head coach... you can just tell by the way the guy is wired. He's an offensive-minded genius, and he should just be in charge of anything that falls under the offensive branch. When you're trying to talk to D-linemen and linebackers, who are just a different group of individuals, then you got to have a different way of going about it.
Pokemon Go is a microcosm of many things in life because it's about the chase
Here's the deal about Pokemon. And it's kind of a microcosm of a lot of things in your life. I mean, you chase the Pokemon. You throw the ball at the Pokemon. Great catch. Got one or whatever. Look at it in your inventory. Show it to your buddy. And it's like, let's go catch another Pokemon, dude.
NFL locker room drama like the D'Angelo Russell leak would stay in-house because the culprit would get beaten up
Honestly, I think the difference between basketball guys and football guys is that you would never even hear a story like this come out. And if it did come out, it would be kept in-house and somebody would get their shit kicked in. And then it would kind of be like, let's move on.
If you are going to cheat on someone, you should cheat on Iggy Azalea
If you're going to cheat on somebody, you should cheat on Iggy. But I think that that's one of those relationships that's probably in the public eye. It benefits both of them. It's a symbiotic relationship. I wouldn't think that it's one that's really, like, organic.
I saw a UFO in Scottsdale that moved way too fast for a normal aircraft
I saw one last year at Scottsdale. Somebody told me we were by the airport, but I was like, don't believe it. Moves way too fast. Awkward movements. UFOs. I was driving north on Scottsdale and I was going to Kierland... And I absolutely saw a UFO. It was like stopping in the air. It was meandering. It was making like crazy [movements].
