Joe Burrow has an uncoachable 'it' factor that makes players want to go to war with him

We all knew what was in Joe Burrow from the person that he was, the leader that he was, and the player that he was. He just has that, that 'it' that you can't coach when it comes to football in general... he's that type of dude where you wanna go to war with him any day, any week. The person is the reason why you see the player.

While subjective, Burrow's success in Cincinnati has largely validated this widely held view of his leadership.

The NFL gave Deshaun Watson an 11-game suspension specifically so his return would be against the Texans

So you look at the schedule that game that [Deshaun Watson] would be coming back would be against the Houston Texans. So they have to talk about it all the time throughout the entire game, whole team in Houston, homecoming... just so happens [flex scheduling] starts right on week 11. I don't know if they'd flex this... but they're not gonna take the Dallas Cowboys out.

Deshaun Watson did return in Week 13 against the Texans after his 11-game suspension (plus a bye week). The narrative alignment was exactly as PFT predicted.

That team, [Daniel] Vogelbach has just the perfect doing something huge in late October moment. Oh yeah, he's written for it... He is a hero in waiting. Like everyone knows that, buy stock in Vogelbach right now. He will have a big moment. And everyone who hasn't been watching baseball be like, who's this fat guy? This is incredible.

The Mets were eliminated in the Wild Card round by the Padres. Vogelbach went 0-for-7 in the series and did not have a 'huge' moment.

The move for NFL preseason betting is to bet against every rookie coach that won their first game

I think the move this weekend is to reverse that and bet against money line every rookie coach that won their first preseason game because they got that win under the belt. Now they're like, you know what? I just wanna evaluate now. Now they're gonna swing back in the other direction.

In Week 2 of the 2022 preseason, rookie coaches who won Week 1 (like Matt Eberflus and Kevin O'Connell) had mixed results, making the 'system' unreliable.

Jahan Dotson has advanced ball skills and tactics that most receivers don't learn until they are veterans

He definitely just has a natural ball skill ability. Like he makes some pretty easy catches that look really easy... he has a good feel of playing the receiver position as a rookie and how to catch the ball, how to position itself to use late hands and some of the tactics that you don't really learn until you're a vet.

Dotson had a productive rookie season with 7 touchdowns, validating McLaurin's early praise for his natural ability.
