NFL teams will figure out Lamar Jackson in his second year

Next year is going to be different. I truly believe that... the coordinators haven't had a year to see what they're doing. You look at a lot of the great running quarterbacks, their first year is pretty nuts, and then the second year, that's when you see if they're really that good.

Lamar Jackson actually won the MVP in his second season (2019), proving the coordinators did not figure him out immediately.

The 2018-19 NFL playoffs are the most wide-open in history

I've been saying it. It is the most wide-open playoffs we've ever had, and I'm excited. Yeah, three of the four games [this weekend] are under a field goal in terms of the point spread.

The 2018-19 season featured many close games, but calling it the 'most wide-open ever' is a subjective superlative.

The Colts will beat the Texans in the Wild Card round

My pinky's on the line, and I'm not saying this just because my pinky's on the line. I think the Colts are going to win this game.

The Colts defeated the Texans 21-7 in the Wild Card game on January 5, 2019.

The Texans will blow out the Colts

I'm taking the Texans. Texans blow them out.

The Texans lost 21-7, so they did not blow out the Colts.

The Kansas City Chiefs are a dark horse destination for Tom Brady to mentor Patrick Mahomes

I think the Chiefs have the upper hand right now... there's rumors that they're not happy with Mahomes and his leadership. They want Tom there for a year have him grow... They pay Tom and just wait for a year for an extension with Patty give him a one-year deal.

Brady signed with the Buccaneers, making the Chiefs prediction (the one Woodhead highlighted as having the 'upper hand') incorrect.

Brian Flores is an unbelievable coach and the Dolphins won't be as bad as they look

Brian Flores really good he was a quality control special teams dude when I was there in New England dude Rose the Rings unbelievable Coach and he's I mean I thought he did one of the best coaching job The NFL last year... Hopefully no Dolphins get offended like the trashiest football team... But [Flores] I thought did one of the best coaching jobs.

Flores went 10-6 in 2020 and 9-8 in 2021, proving Woodhead right that the coaching was high-level enough to make them competitive quickly.

The Ravens' run offense is only successful because of Lamar Jackson's threat

The holes are ginormous. Like, and that's the thing that's unbelievable about a running quarterback is you don't have to block certain people because his fake will block a lot of people. You don't have to block the DN [defensive end] to the left because a DN to the left has to, he has to acknowledge Lamar.

This is a fundamental concept in modern football scouting regarding the 'read option' and dual-threat QBs.
