Pete Carroll has swung too far into 'Let Russ Cook' and needs to run more

You know what's funny is this is a week where Pete Carroll should have reverted to old Pete Carroll and been like, we're going to establish the fucking run... Pete Carroll has swung the pendulum too far in the Russ Cook department. It needs to come back. Russell Wilson threw the ball 43 times... Balanced offense matters.

The Seahawks did eventually fire OC Brian Schottenheimer and move back toward a more balanced approach under Pete Carroll's mandate.

I'm officially abandoning my Drew Lock 'moxie' take

Drew Lock, I'm ready to abandon. I'm not apologizing. I'm ready to abandon my Drew Lock take, the Moxie take. Please advise me for the most elegant way I can dismount from that take without admitting I was wrong about it.

Drew Lock was eventually traded and became a career backup, confirming Hank's decision to jump ship was correct.

Noah Fant will be an awesome tight end for his second NFL team

I have a take on Noah Fant. I think that Noah Fant is going to be an awesome tight end when he goes to his second team. Yes. That dude is, like, he is baby Eric Ebron... He's just waiting for somebody that – or, like, a decent offense that can get him the ball occasionally.

Fant was traded to the Seahawks (his second team) in 2022. While he has been a solid starter, he has yet to reach 'awesome' elite tight end status.

Cooper Kupp is the most important player on the Rams

Here's a hot take. Team has Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey on it. Most important player, Cooper Kupp. I mean, they do look totally different when he's out there. Last year, their offense kind of went to shit... I said it.

While subjective, Kupp's importance was validated in 2021 when he won the Triple Crown and Super Bowl MVP, proving he was the engine of their championship offense.

The Jets can't build a winning culture

You just can't. It's hard to build a winning culture ever. It doesn't matter what you're doing if you're the Jets.

This is a deliberately broad franchise judgment rather than a claim that can be definitively proven or disproven.

The WNBA badly mishandled its Finals scheduling

Instead of doing it in an arena where it's like a 5,000 capacity arena, they could have done it at the regular time. They chose to do 12:30 in the afternoon.

This is a judgment about scheduling strategy and is subjective.

There is real tension between Jalen Brown and the Celtics

I don't think it's Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown really have personal beef. I think it's just, you know, Jalen Brown, Celtics, and that's turning into Jason Tatum in some ways. But I think there's definitely beef between Jalen Brown and the Celtics organization.

The existence and extent of internal tension is not definitively verifiable from the transcript alone.
