The Tuohys only brought Michael Oher into their family because of his football talent

This has always kind of been the logical explanation of what happened. Like they didn't bring this kid into their home because he was homeless and they wanted to be great people. They brought 'em into their home because they're like, 'oh shit, this guy's awesome at football. And we're the biggest Ole Miss fans in the world. So we might as well adopt him. And then just funnel 'em down to Oxford.'

Aaron Rodgers is functionally the head coach of the Jets, not Robert Saleh

I walked away from this Hard Knocks episode two, asking myself a simple question. Who's the coach of the Jets? Is it Robert Saleh... or is it Aaron Rodgers? ... Robert Saleh turned to Aaron Rodgers and he said, 'we gotta get them [the O-line] right for you, buddy.' And I said, huh, that's weird. Tail wagging the dog. That feels like Aaron Rodgers is coaching this team.

Opinion Football Medium

The Jets finished 7-10 and Robert Saleh was eventually fired in 2024, partly due to the inability to manage the Rodgers era effectively.

A dominant defensive line can emasculate and ruin the confidence of their own offensive line in practice

I think the fact that their defensive line is so good that they [the Jets offensive line] get their ass kicked every day by a really good defensive line. That's a little bit emasculating. You lose your confidence. ... The Jets should make their defensive line worse so that their offensive line could get better.
