A drop kick is a more effective strategy for an onside kick than the standard kick

For the onside kick, I've been trying to tell people that a more effective way to do it could be to do a drop kick. In rugby, you can get way more air under the ball. Obviously, if it hits the ground first, kick it right up in the air.

The NFL rule changes have made onside kicks nearly impossible, and the drop-kick variant hasn't been adopted as a standard successful strategy.

Bet on rookie head coaches in the first week of the NFL preseason

Week one, it was pretty strong. You just bet on whatever coach, if it's a matchup between a rookie head coach and a coach that's been in the league before you bet on the rookie head coach to win. Because I think somewhere deep down, they would prefer to win their very first game that they play.

While not a hard rule, rookie coaches often play starters longer or try harder to get their first win in preseason. In 2022, many rookie head coaches (like Kevin O'Connell, Mike McDaniel) performed well in preseason debuts.

Lamar Jackson's 18-pound muscle gain will make him slower

You see Lamar Jackson added 18 pounds of muscle... I feel like he's not gonna be as quick... He looks thicker. I just can't imagine gaining 18 pounds of muscle. Like you can't tell me he's going to be as fast. He has to lose at least a little bit of quickness.

Lamar Jackson remained one of the fastest players in the league and won another MVP in 2023. His quickness did not noticeably suffer from the bulk.

The Rams' Australia travel plan was an all-time 'fuck it' move

It was a terrible idea that Sean McVay tried to do, but I have to respect how much of an all-time fuck-it move it was to just pretend that time zones don't exist. He was just like, you know what, fuck it, we're not gonna adapt. We're gonna fly in, fly out.

The Rams lost the Australia opener after using the fly-in/fly-out approach, supporting the criticism in this game-specific judgment.

KOC will get the best out of Kyler Murray

I think that what he's gonna get the absolute best outta Kyler Murray that he possibly can at this point, which I think should be good enough to be a pretty good team this year.

Kyler Murray's 2026 season and Minnesota's performance will determine whether this forecast holds.

Jayden Daniels is going to remind everyone that the bad man is back

I think Jayden Daniels, he's as healthy as he has been since the start of last season. ... I think that he's gonna remind a lot of people who he is. Yeah. That's what I think. I think the bad man might be back.

Daniels' 2026 season will determine whether he re-established himself as an elite or feared quarterback.
