To beat Tom Brady, you must have a completely different second-half game plan

The thing with Tom is if he knows what you're in, he's going to the right place. So without disguising coverages and giving him his own coverage, you've got no chance... in the second half, we had a totally different game plan. So you knew that they were going to go into the locker room, get it figured out. So you had to have a second pitch within the game plan.

Bill Belichick will sign Nick Foles just to berate him for the Super Bowl loss

I actually have a theory about what's going to happen. I think Belichick's going to grab [Nick] Foles. If for nothing else, just so that he can stash him and berate him every day, being like, you son of a bitch, you beat me in the Super Bowl.

PredictionFootballHotSarcastic
Nick Foles signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2019 offseason, not the Patriots.

Nick Foles will sign with the Jaguars or Broncos and won't be that good

I feel like Nick Foles is destined to end up on a team like, I don't know, the Jaguars or maybe the Broncos. He feels like a Broncos quarterback up and down. And then he's just not going to be that good. And everyone's like, well, but he won a Super Bowl.

PredictionFootballMedium
Foles signed a massive contract with the Jaguars in March 2019 and was benched for Gardner Minshew after struggling and getting injured.

Taysom Hill will be the next Drew Brees

I am convinced now that Sean Payton will have the next Drew Brees in Taysom Hill because he had that one throw... Taysom Hill's throwing 50-yard bombs. It's not fair.

Hot TakeFootballScorching
Taysom Hill never became a full-time successful starting quarterback like Brees, remaining a gadget player/utility knife for most of his career.

Most of the young offensive coaches being hired in the current 'copycat' cycle will struggle

I imagine that this [hiring young offensive coaches] will be the same thing. Everybody's trying to copycat and catch on to this trend. But, look, being a head coach is hard... there's going to be a lot of guys who struggle.

PredictionFootballMedium
The 2019 hiring cycle saw several young or 'offensive' hires like Kitchens and Gase fail quickly, though LaFleur and Zac Taylor eventually found success.

The Saints have the strongest combination of defense and special teams remaining in the playoffs

I like their combination of defense and special teams... I would say New Orleans is probably [the strongest].

OpinionFootballMedium
While the Saints were strong, the Patriots' defense turned in a legendary performance in Super Bowl LIII, holding the high-powered Rams to only 3 points.

The Gatorade color for the Super Bowl winner will be lemon-lime

I think we were traditional on our sidelines. I would go lemon-lime.

PredictionFootballMild
The Gatorade dumped on Bill Belichick after Super Bowl LIII was blue.
