Younger players learn differently now because of the 'BlackBerry' technology shift since 2006

I think we deal more with the way these younger players learn and the way they've learned the advent of so many different technologies that didn't exist. Maybe back in '06, even 2006, when I got hired, the BlackBerry was your main thing... I was still hitting [the button] two, three times to get like a 'C'.

This is a subjective observation about coaching and technology.

I was 100% confident the Capitals would beat the Penguins once game six went to overtime

I knew it was going to happen. We all knew it was going to happen. I was so confident in that team when it went to overtime. If we had lost that game, the whole series was over. There's no chance that we're going to come back. That's a mental midget thing.

The Capitals did indeed beat the Penguins in 6 games in 2018 on their way to a Stanley Cup.

I might eat poop just to 'alpha' PFT because his hesitation is getting sad

I've even said to you, I might just eat poop just to alpha you because it's getting so sad what you're doing. You are like, I can't do it. I can't do it. You came off the plane. You're like, what if I eat a mushroom with a little poop on it?

Zach Miller's gruesome non-catch against the Saints was definitely a touchdown

It was a touchdown. Yes, it was a touchdown... and almost lost his leg for a non-touchdown. It was crazy.

OpinionFootballMedium
The NFL later changed the catch rule in 2018 partly due to plays like this, suggesting Payton's view aligns with the league's eventual correction.

The best drafts in NFL history are built in the 2nd through 4th rounds

I think the key for us are we try to look closely at what are the things that these players that we've hit on have in common... the great drafts in our league history consist of second rounders, third rounders, fourth rounders.

OpinionFootballMildSubjective
This is a scouting philosophy that is generally accepted by successful NFL front offices.

Patrick Mahomes would have been the target for the Saints at pick 11 in 2017

Mahomes certainly would have been a target at 11 [in the 2017 NFL Draft]... Mahomes certainly would have been a target at 11.

Fact ClaimFootballFire
This has been corroborated by multiple sources in the years since, establishing it as a historical fact of the Saints' 2017 draft board.
