There is no way for a defense to consistently stop the Tush Push

I definitely don't think there's a way to stop it [the Tush Push] and converting. QB sneaks in general convert at 72% of the time they're at like 85 90% with the tush push. It's super hard to stop it.

The Eagles maintained a nearly 90% success rate on the play throughout the 2023 season.

David Tepper might fire Frank Reich this week

I think that there's a chance that David Tepper fires Frank Reich this week. David Tepper did not look happy in the booth... He's a micromanager. He's fired men for far less than that.

Reich was not fired following the Week 10 game; he was fired on November 27, 2023, after losing to the Titans.

Tyson Bagent is an awesome story but he is not an NFL starter

Tyson Bagent, nice guy, I'm rooting for him. Awesome story. This idea that he's a starter. Let's just stop that. Okay, let's stop that right now. Which I think most people actually stopped it a couple weeks ago. But I'm gonna stop myself with that right now.

Bagent returned to his backup role for the remainder of his tenure with the Bears and has not been viewed as a starter since.

The 49ers will look good and beat the Jaguars in Week 10

I think the Niners are gonna win this game. I think they're gonna be, I think they're gonna look good... Kyler Shanahan's gonna get more involved in the defense... they realize, hey, we're a really good team, but we gotta start taking some shit seriously.

The 49ers dominated the Jaguars, winning 34-3.

Jim Harbaugh didn't know about the sign-stealing execution

I don't think he [Jim Harbaugh] knew. He'll do anything to win, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he's gonna be the one to execute everything. He will say, 'Hey guys, we have to do anything. We need to win.' But I don't think he's gonna get down and dirty and do that.

NCAA investigations into Harbaugh's knowledge are ongoing/subjective, but he was suspended by the Big Ten during this time.

Tua Tagovailoa's ability to throw deep while having a short release is extremely valuable

Tua has the one of the shortest time to throws and one of the furthest air yards per target... Meaning he's taking not that long to throw, but he is also pushing the ball down the field... They're also manipulating data... It's extremely valuable.

Tua consistently led the league in quick release time while maintaining high yards per attempt in 2023.

Quarterbacks are responsible for a lot more sacks than people think

Quarterbacks attribute or account a lot more for sacks than people think... a quarterback's behavior will create sacks. Whether or not play call is involved in that too. So there is a solvable problem that could be something we're trying to do [with data].

Advanced metrics from PFF and Next Gen Stats increasingly attribute sack responsibility to individual quarterbacks.
