Malaki Starks is a clutch, game-changing player and a big pickup for the Ravens
Selfishly, I love what the Ravens did, man. I love Malaki Starks... He has this presence about him. He's a great communicator. He's big, strong, experienced. He's just a clutch game changing player. And for the Ravens to get him and pair him with Kyle Hamilton... I'm telling you, that was a big pickup for Baltimore tonight.

View episodeThe Jaguars fleeced the Browns in the trade to move up for the number two pick
The Jaguars trade was crazy. That was a pretty nuts trade. Fleeced, fleeced. I saw some of the different draft conversion charts. Some people were saying it was an all-time fleecing.
Travis Hunter is a sport-changing player who will alter the trajectory of the game
There are players you can target and acquire who will alter the trajectory of a game. There are players that you can target and acquire that alter the trajectory of a football team. There are very few, and it's rare to be able to target and prioritize a player who can alter the sport itself. This is a sport-changing player. So the game will never be the same.

And he really is a lot better player than he played down the stretch. He had that gastritis illness. He lost 20 pounds. He had a shoulder and rib injury. But when he was healthy, he was lighting it up. They had eight straight wins and they beat the hell out of Georgia.
Kirk Cousins will lose the Raiders starting job to Fernando Mendoza if they drop their first two games
It's tough. We gotta see when the schedule comes out. I think if the Raiders win those two games, I think Cousins will keep playing. But if they lose those two games, you know how this league is — he just went through it with Mike Pennix in Atlanta. And when you lose a couple games, it just is a matter of time before the young kid gets his job.
Jeremiah Love is a Jamir Gibbs clone — a home-run hitter with no mileage who was totally justified as a top-five pick
I think Love is a Jamir Gibbs clone type. This guy's a great receiver. I mean, one handed catches, you can line him up in empty backfield sets. You can use this guy so many different ways and he has no mileage on him. He split carries with Price. So you're getting a home run hitter. Average is seven yards per carry.
