Texas is officially 'not back' because their field looks like baby diarrhea

Somebody pointed out that the color situation on the broadcast cameras change at Texas depending on what network is running the game... It changes depending on how back Texas is... I was like, they're not back because that field looks like baby diarrhea. Officially not back.

Texas finished the 2019 season 8-5, which most fans did not consider 'back' to their former glory.

I believe the Browns and Baker Mayfield will be fine despite their Week 1 loss

I actually do believe the Browns are going to be fine... As a Baker [Mayfield] guy, he's going to fix it. He's fine.

The 2019 Browns finished a disappointing 6-10 and Freddie Kitchens was fired after one season.

Whenever Mike Vrabel is underestimated, bet on him

I am now making a new rule. Whenever Mike Vrabel is underestimated, bet on him. I feel like this happens every single time the Titans, we're like, the Titans stink, their offense is boring, and Marcus Mariota isn't the guy. They did it last year when they played the Patriots.

Vrabel consistently outperformed expectations as an underdog throughout his Titans tenure, including a deep playoff run later this season (2019).

Lamar Jackson might just be a statue quarterback who carves teams up from the pocket

The concern at this point is can [Lamar Jackson] do enough with his legs? Is he fast enough? Is he a good enough running quarterback? Or is he just like one of those statue guys that goes back there and carves you up?

Lamar Jackson won the MVP in 2019, proving he could dominate both with his legs and his arm.

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.
