Head coaches must utilize 'butt pucker' fear to be successful

Fear is an important aspect of being a head coach... you need fear. Like you need literally butt pucker type fear that if you don't get your job done, you will get cut, you will get benched, you will get punished. And it's not only for the players, probably more importantly your coaching staff needs to have fear. If I don't get my guys coached up, if my guys don't perform, I'll lose my job.

This is a subjective take on leadership style.

The NFL Divisional Round is the best weekend on the football calendar

The NFL divisional round, which in my estimation is the best weekend in the NFL schedule... getting a ticket to that memorable spot, like a Final Four spot, feels so huge for the team, the fan base, everything. And you get four matchups. All these games feel like they're gonna be great games, tight games.

This is a subjective opinion about the quality of a sports schedule.

Lane Johnson is healthy enough to lift a 325-pound man and his groin is fantastic

Lane Johnson I've heard is just, I heard that he lifted a 325-pound man off the ground today. And that his groin is just fantastic... [his] leg, thigh, groin, area is better than expected.

Lane Johnson played through a torn groin and performed exceptionally well in the playoffs, helping the Eagles reach the Super Bowl.

The Eagles are going to kill the Giants in the Divisional Round

I understand where Giants fans are coming from... I just look at the Giants in the last two months and they played incredible against Vikings, but other than that, they were kind of sputtering down the stretch. I think the Eagles are gonna kill them. This strikes me as a, I think it's gonna be a whomping.

The Eagles defeated the Giants 38-7 on January 21, 2023.

The Broncos' defensive struggles against Buffalo are a bigger concern than Jarrett Stidham's ability

I'm far less concerned about Jared Stidham than I am about the way our defense played against Buffalo. Our defense got run through, I mean, and I thought we got out executed out game, planned out schemed as a defense.

Sam Darnold is playing with incredible maturity and focusing on wins over stats

I watched him throw the ball away. Here is a guy that has grown in maturity, that has used all that kind of pain and frustration... to his advantage. He's not worried about putting up stats, he's worried about wins. And he is looking at it from a standpoint, the only way my team that's playing so well right now loses is if I screw it up.

Trent Williams is trying to murder opponents on every play

Trent Williams is one dude that practice stops, like other professional athletes stop what they're doing to watch him practice. And he does not give a shit if he misses a block. He's not trying to block you. He's trying to murder you. He is literally trying to shorten your neck on every play.

Williams is widely considered one of the most physically dominant players in league history.
