Coach O is the alpha in a room full of SEC West coaches

In coaching especially that you got national championship coaches... I would say Coach O probably would win in the end... he would probably bring his own 600 pounds of crawfish to the table too.

Subjective opinion about personality dynamics.

Blake Bortles will take the starting job from Jeff Driskel in Denver

Let me be perfectly clear Blake Bortles is getting the starting job. I don't think that there's any question about that.

Bortles was signed but never played for Denver; Jeff Driskel and then Brett Rypien/Drew Lock handled the starts.

The Saints are being held back by Drew Brees

Do you think Saints fans realize it that it's over or do you think they're still holding onto? Oh, The Saints are good enough, which they do have a great roster, but they're being held back by their quarterback. And this isn't just this year. This has been the last like year and a half. It's much more evident right now though.

Brees retired after this season, and the Saints' offensive limitations were a major storyline in their playoff loss to Tampa Bay.

The Saints should start Jameis Winston right now

Unleash Jameis Winston. I got a Meraki I I disagree with you on the Michael Thomas thing... the time is now it is Jameis a clock in New Orleans.

Winston did not start until the following year after Brees retired.

Managing COVID-19 protocols is more important than roster talent for winning in 2020

I think more important than everything to win this year's is who handles COVID the best, who handles social distancing the best so that they can have the best players out there.

Roster availability due to COVID protocols was indeed a major storyline and affected several key games in the 2020 season.

Football teams would be more effective if they played more like they were on a playground or in a video game using downfield laterals

If you would play more like you playing the park or like people play video games I bet you'd be better in some areas, you know, you catch it and guys are there you just throw it over there [laterally]... but we don't do that because you know ball security, but I do think there is something to that.

This is a subjective strategy opinion, though the rise of lateral-heavy offenses (like Kelce to Perine) suggests he was onto something.

College football features significantly worse game management and clock management than the NFL

I don't understand College media you see some of the worst Game management ever at major programs in college football and it's like nobody's as either in the NFL you get killed that night for it... I've never understood that why five people get to slide with such terrible clock management and management of situations in college versus NFL.

A widely held observation by football analysts given the difference in experience and resources between NFL and college coaching staffs.
