Fullbacks are officially back in the NFL

So it's going to be Sherman, Juszek, our fullbacks officially back. As first reported by Pardon My Take last year, they are officially back.

The role of the fullback remains niche, though it saw a brief revival in specific schemes like Shanahan's.

Kyle Shanahan's offense is built so he can't forget to run the football

I think, luckily, the way this offense [the 49ers] is built, [Kyle Shanahan] has made it impossible for him to forget to run the football. He's taken that out of his own hands.

In Super Bowl LIV, the 49ers famously moved away from the run game in the fourth quarter while leading, which contributed to their collapse against the Chiefs.

Andy Reid is a Hall of Famer even if he loses Super Bowl LIV

Is he a Hall of Famer if he loses? [Big Cat] Yes. [PFT Commenter] I think he is too.

Andy Reid was eventually inducted into the Hall of Fame, but even in 2020, his resume was considered elite.

Andy Reid is a better coach than Bill Cowher

If Bill Cowher's in the fucking Hall of Fame, Andy Reid should be in the Hall of Fame. Andy Reid's way better of a coach than Bill Cowher. I'm sorry, but that's a fact.

Subjective comparison of coaching careers.

The Ravens' fourth-quarter problems are moving earlier

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.

This is a season-long assessment that can only be judged against Baltimore's eventual 2026 performance.

Baker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland

This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.

Whether the personal history materially affects the game is subjective, though the stated public grievance is part of the episode's context.

The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games

I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.

The preferred NFL schedule is a policy judgment, though the player-safety rationale is grounded in the discussion's cited study.
