Scoring a rushing touchdown is more demoralizing for a defense than a passing touchdown

Statistically speaking, you take a look at teams that lead the league in rushing touchdowns, running the football into the end zone is demoralizing for a defense... heads down, hands on hips... The past game: It's a quick touchdown. Okay, we'll get 'em back. They threw it in. The running game is like, go fucking replicate that ass whipping we just put on your defense.

This is a subjective view on the 'mental' side of football frequently shared by offensive players.

Kyle Shanahan owns Sean McVay as a coach

It was a Kyle Shanahan masterclass. [Shanahan] owns Sean McVay. Obviously not the NFC Championship game, but I think it's now nine and three against the spread, Kyle Shanahan versus Sean McVay.

Historically, Shanahan has maintained a significant regular-season advantage over McVay, though the 2021 NFC Championship game remains a major outlier in the rivalry.

Pete Carroll is having more fun with Geno Smith than he did with Russell Wilson

I actually think that Pete Carroll's having more fun with Geno Smith as his quarterback. It's a combination of like, okay, weirdo Russ isn't around so I don't have to worry about placating him all the time... If I win a game with Geno Smith, that's pretty cool. If I lose, who really cares.

While subjective, the Seahawks' 2022 season was widely considered a 'fun' success where Carroll and Geno Smith appeared rejuvenated.

From a purely passer perspective, the Lions won the Jared Goff for Matthew Stafford trade

It's time to ask like who really won that trade Cat? The Rams or the Lions. ... Just from a purely passer perspective. [Big Cat: I'd want Jared Goff.]

While Stafford won the Super Bowl immediately, Goff went on to have a highly productive career in Detroit, making this a legitimate debate long-term.

Texas Tech LB Rodriguez is undervalued and a 'born football player'

Some guys are just born football players and this guy, the linebacker from Texas Tech... Rodriguez... I like to watch the cutups of these guys in coverage... Rodriguez has a ton of ball skills. He's also a great tackler in space. ... Reuben Bain reminds me of one of those kind of players.

This will be proven by Rodriguez's draft position and subsequent NFL performance.

Matt Nagy and Jackson Dart together in New York will be a lot of fun

I love Jackson Dart, I love the idea of Matt Nagy being the OC and not having to worry about head coach duties? ... if Matt Nagy and Jackson Dart can get on the same page, it's gonna be a lot of fun for people in New York.

The outcome of this offensive pairing will be seen in the upcoming NFL season.

Next year is the Josh Allen show with Joe Brady's offense, and DJ Moore will be a big part of it

I think what we see next year is the Josh Allen show. And with DJ Moore coming to town with a few of those offensive linemen still around, this group is still gonna be firepower on offense. Who's gonna rush the passer in the playoffs? Who's gonna be the guy that you know sends chills down the spine of a tackle on third down?

Pending - 2026 NFL season hasn't happened yet.
