Kickers are struggling because NFL stadiums are too quiet without fans

No adversity. There's no dynamic. There's no, you know, you need a dynamic environment to excel... You should feel alive and not like you're a mouse in a laboratory.

Subjective sports psychology claim.

Blake Bortles will take the starting job from Jeff Driskel in Denver

Let me be perfectly clear Blake Bortles is getting the starting job. I don't think that there's any question about that.

Bortles never started a game for the Broncos; Jeff Driskel and Brett Rypien started in Drew Lock's absence before Lock returned.

The Saints are being held back by Drew Brees

Do you think Saints fans realize it that it's over or do you think they're still holding onto? Oh, The Saints are good enough, which they do have a great roster, but they're being held back by their quarterback. And this isn't just this year. This has been the last like year and a half. It's much more evident right now though.

Brees retired after this season, and the Saints' offensive limitations were a major storyline in their playoff loss to Tampa Bay.

The Saints should start Jameis Winston right now

Unleash Jameis Winston. I got a Meraki I I disagree with you on the Michael Thomas thing... the time is now it is Jameis a clock in New Orleans.

Winston did not start until the following year after Brees retired.

Justin Tucker will be the greatest kicker ever if he continues his current path

If [Tucker] continues on this path, he'll be the greatest ever. I hate to say that cause I was pretty good, but... I think Justin Tucker is kicking around 90 like for his career. 92%? That's an insane number.

Tucker is widely considered the most accurate kicker in NFL history, though 'greatest' remains a subjective career-long debate.

The NFL will eventually see a 70-yard field goal in a game

We're gonna see a 70 yard field goal. I think I feel like I set that two or three years ago... The 60 yard is like the new 50 and the 70 yards gonna be like the new 60. I want to see it too. I mean, I want to see it too. It's like a walk off would be badass.

The current record is 66 yards (Justin Tucker). 70 yards remains the holy grail of NFL kicking and has not been achieved in a game yet.

We will see a 70-yard field goal in the NFL this season

I think we're gonna see a 70 yard field goal. I wouldn't be surprised if is this year... Whoo. Okay, I like that... the way Butker hit that 58 that that had another 10 on it.

The record was 64 at the time; Justin Tucker broke it in 2021 with a 66-yarder, but nobody has hit 70 in a game.
