Herm Edwards could go 4-7 at Arizona State just like every other coach

I bet you $1 that Herm Edwards could get the exact same record as all of our other coaches and go 4-7.

In his first season (2018), Herm Edwards went 7-6. He never actually finished a season with exactly 4 wins at ASU (closest was 5-6 in the shortened 2020).

Rob Gronkowski is a cheat code and no one can guard him

Basically, you just keep throwing it to Gronk because Gronk's a cheat coach. No one can guard Gronk.

Gronkowski is widely considered one of the greatest tight ends ever and was notoriously difficult to cover throughout his career.

The Jaguars are a for-real team and people shouldn't sleep on them

I'm pumped because I think the Jags, like, people sleep on the Jags, and I know we laugh at them because their franchise has been pretty much a comedy of errors. But they're a for-real team.

The 2017 Jaguars finished 10-6 and reached the AFC Championship game, proving they were a legitimate contender that season.

The Jaguars defense is the best in the NFL

That defense is probably the best defense in the NFL. Like, no joke. It's them, it's the Vikings, and then there's a pretty big drop-off after that.

The 2017 Jaguars finished 2nd in total defense and 2nd in scoring defense, while the Vikings finished 1st in both. They were widely considered the top two units.

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.
