The fullback position is coming back in the NFL

But the fullback's coming back, right? You guys got a jersey up there, 42. I like what Kansas City, he [Anthony Sherman] gets after it. He's a boy dog. He'll bite you. He'll hit you.

While several elite teams (49ers, Ravens, Patriots) continued using fullbacks, the position remains a niche role in the modern pass-heavy NFL.

The Green Bay Packers are dead

Today is Friday, September 27th, and the Green Bay Packers are dead.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
The Packers were far from dead; they finished the 2019 season 13-3 and reached the NFC Championship Game.

Aaron Rodgers gets 'too cool' in the red zone

As Skip Bayless said, Aaron Rodgers gets too cool in the red zone.

This is a subjective stylistic critique of Rodgers' red zone efficiency.

I would rather have an aggressive coach like Doug Pederson than a wishy-washy one like Freddie Kitchens

I'd rather live with a coach who's aggressive and tries to steal the moment than a guy who goes wishy-washy, Freddie Kitchens. Do we call it the Freddie Kitchens or the Matt LaFleur when you just passed from inside the five-yard line?

This is a subjective evaluation of coaching styles, though Kitchens was fired after one season while Pederson had already won a Super Bowl.

The fullback should be in the Hall of Fame as a position

I think there should be a fullback in the Hall of Fame. I think if you look at Moose Johnson, you look at guys like Sam Gash, you look at, you know, even Corey Schlesinger... I look at it and I'm just like, I just think that there has been, they let red guy, you let punters and stuff in. It should be a fullback, should be in the Hall of Fame.

While several fullbacks from the pre-merger era are in, modern-day fullbacks like Neal and Alstott have yet to be inducted, making this a relevant subjective take.
