Bill Belichick makes players change their glove color to match the opponent's jersey to hide holding penalties

[Bill Belichick] would always try to get me to change the color of my glove for blocking in the run game. Because if we were playing a team that had white and the referee, he said, 'the ref could see her goddamn glove on the backside of him. He's going to call holding every time.' So he would literally make like young players, like, 'Hey, you're wearing white today because we're playing against the white team.'

Direct anecdotal evidence from a long-time player under the coach.

I want to see Mac Jones face some adversity and struggle to see what kind of leader he is

I want to see him [Mac Jones] face some adversity, see how he does with that... I hope he doesn't [sprain his ankle], but you want to see the toughness of a guy. I want to see something go wrong. And I want to see the man he is in an adverse situation. That's when you see your best leaders.

Mac Jones plays 'on time' which is why he is a successful quarterback

He plays on time. Playing on time is like getting through your reads at the correct time... delivers a catchable football. His eyes are always in the right area. He's delivering the ball when he should deliver the ball... Those are 'playing on time' kind of moments.

Subjective evaluation of quarterback play style and timing.

Players who wear black cleats and still look fast are the true 'burners' in the NFL

You always know a guy's a burner. If you see a guy wearing black cleats and he still looks fast. That's when those guys are like, they know they're fast. They wear black cleats. That's like a flex.

Inherently subjective observation about player speed and equipment.

The Lions are not currently the best team in the NFL because of the Aidan Hutchinson injury

I don't think they're the best team in the NFL... The Hutchinson's injury though does concern me. Like against bad football teams, you don't need a pass rush... but I'm concerned of those games when they have to play against a Lamar Jackson may be in a Super Bowl or you know, a Brock Purdy or, or or a a Jordan Love... can they stop 'em in the red? They need to get a three points in the red area. They can't give up a touchdown. Can they stop 'em in the red area? I don't think so right now.

Subjective power ranking, though the Lions continued to dominate even without Hutchinson for several weeks.

Dan Campbell needs to evolve and stop taking unnecessary risks like fake punts

I love Dan Campbell, but he needs to evolve his play color. His, his, his coaching style. He, he, he can't act like he's a the hunter anymore. He's being hunted. You know, you, you're the good team. Your culture's in place. We don't have to run a fake punt in the opening drive... when you, me, everyone in the goddamn stadium knew it was gonna be a fake fucking punt.

Subjective coaching critique.

Matthew Stafford is a first-ballot Hall of Famer

I think he's a first battle hall of famer, man. He's a stud... I feel like he's like a Aaron [Rodgers] and [Mahomes] hybrid where like he gets that pop that, that Aaron got. But he also has been changing arm angles and doing No looks back in Detroit 10, 15 years ago.

Stafford is not yet eligible; this will be determined after his retirement.
