Takes

AJ Brown will be traded after June 1st

I've thought AJ Brown was probably going for a while now. I think it's just gonna, he's just gonna get traded after June 1st.

The Philadelphia Eagles going 4-13 is the medicine the NFL world needs

I think the medicine everyone in the world needs, whether you root for the Eagles or you don't, is a 4 and 13 season for the Eagles. It'll be great for everybody because it'll manage the expectations for Eagles fans and then everyone else can remember what it was like back in the day when the Eagles were not a good football team.

The NFL has a 'pretty boy' coaching problem where everyone looks like Sean McVay

The McVay tree has made offensive football fantastic in the NFL, but it's also made a bunch of pretty boys who all wear the same shade of blue. And thank God Mike McCarthy, Big Mike, is back because we needed someone like that, an old school football guy who forgot to button one of his buttons. But this is what the new NFL is: pretty boys.

Joe Brady looks like the guy in high school who sells you a shitty bag of weed

I said in my blog, Joe Brady looks like a guy who, the first guy in high school who buys a white Jetta and is gonna sell you a shitty bag of weed.

The NFL's 18th game will eventually become an automatic international game

It actually sounds like the 18th game will be automatic international.

The unannounced 2028 Super Bowl date is being held open for the NFL's 18th game

The February 2028 Super Bowl does not have a date to be played on yet, which means they're holding it for the 18th game. And then once they get that solidified, then they'll announce when the Super Bowl's gonna be.

The investigation into the 49ers substation being a health risk is not over yet

My who's back is first the 49ers substation because John Lynch came out and said that they hired an independent scientist... he basically said it was a big nothing burger. I feel like we're not gonna, this isn't the end of the story. Especially with the fact that he said that with nothing burger. Is that a scientifical?

The Giants are building an offense that has never been seen before in NFL history

We're building an offense out that has never been seen in the history of the National Football League. I mean, like literally because we're building the New York Giants offense, you know, with our terms and our schemes and for our players.

The Seahawks had by far the best special teams in the league last year and Jay Harbaugh was the difference

I think they were by far the best special teams in the league last year. And Jay did a great job, great job coaching those guys. You can argue they were the difference in a lot of ways on that team last year.

Puka Nacua's lawyer is the worst in America for admitting the bite occurred

Puka has hired an attorney who dismissed the conduct as horseplay, but admitted that the bite occurred. It left a temporary mark. So this is not a good lawyer. My problem is, is Puka Nacua has hired the worst lawyer in America to defend him against the biting allegations. Your lawyer should never step in front of a camera and say, 'yes, he did the shit.'

If NFL players practiced for two weeks, they would easily beat the best professional flag football team

I think that if you gave the pros like a solid two weeks of practice with coaches that coach flag football, I think the pros could be better. Yeah. But it would take like... there are differences in the game. But yeah, if you gave them two weeks, they'd win.

The Broncos should go all in and try to win now with Bo Nix on a rookie deal

I kinda like this for the Broncos just being like, hey, we have, we have Bo Nix right now under a rookie deal. Bo Nix is a good quarterback. ... take the window and try to win. Right now.

Justin Fields going to the Chiefs is a career-ending mistake if he fails to perform in Andy Reid's offense

Is this a mistake by Justin Fields? Because if he, if Patrick Mahomes doesn't come back and he has to start and it doesn't go well, like if, if you can't do it in Andy Reid's offense, it's over. Right?

Kyler Murray will be the next Sam Darnold now that he's with the Vikings

Kyler Murray is a Viking. We all kind of expected it. It happened. He's going to be the next Sam Darnold. The NFC North now has three number one picks at quarterback with Kyler Murray, Caleb Williams, Jared Goff. Kind of cool.

The NFL is in danger of losing its 'special' status by playing on every night of the week

The NFL's getting into a little bit of dangerous spot where part of the reason why we love the NFL is the scarcity. Sunday should be sacred. I don't want them to ruin Sunday. You might take away the thing that makes you special, and that's that Sunday is a special thing and you only get 18 of them. Just be careful, NFL. I love you to death, but just be careful.

The NFL will launch a spring game within a matter of years

We're a matter of years away, not decades, from the NFL doing a spring game. I think I might be into that. One spring game, just like college football. It would be kind of sick.

The Ravens are using Maxx Crosby's failed physical as a convenient excuse to back out of the trade

Either one, [the Ravens] really trust the doctor to believe them on that or two, it's bullshit and it's made up and they're secretly planning a different move and they're using the physical as an excuse to get out of it.

The Raiders' short statement indicates Mark Davis is furious about the rescinded trade

The statement that the Raiders put out said a lot, which is just like 'they backed out of the trade. We have no further comment.' That to me sounds like a pissed off Mark Davis.

The NFL needs a 'no-backsies' rule for players who post elaborate social media goodbye videos

If you post a 13 minute goodbye video on social media like Maxx Crosby did, that should just be trade final. You can't come back on that... I actually am rooting for Maxx Crosby to be on the Raiders now because that will be so awkward and funny.

Geno Smith is still a capable starter despite his poor reputation on the Jets

Geno Smith can still play. He beat the Patriots last year. Bad year, I don't know what we're talking about. I think it's a good deal. I just don't know why people say Kevin O'Connell could fix him but because he signs with the Jets, people say he won't be good.

The Panthers were right to overpay for Jaelan Phillips

The Panthers getting Jaelan Phillips, even though it was a lot of money, I feel like you gotta do it. Cap went up and I feel like you have to do those type of moves, especially when you are a playoff team from last year. Your defense was a problem... I'd be like, oh, Howie's interested? I'll give him more money.

AJ Brown will only be traded for a first-round pick starting price

The price is the price. It starts with a first-round pick. If the Patriots want him, it's a 2027 first-round pick, not 2026, because their first-round pick this year is basically a second-round pick.

The Giants overpaid for Won'Dale Robinson's replaceable skillset

The Won'Dale Robinson deal was a little rich for me because that was just a 'he knows Brian Daboll's system'... I just think he has a very replaceable skillset. A slot-only type of guy... I'd rather them gone for Romeo Doubs who's still out there.

The Eagles are at a crossroads as a franchise and essentially broke in free agency

The Eagles are kind of... they're not broke, but they're cash strapped because of just their contracts right now. And it's just, they're not doing anything. They're really just sitting on their hands. And that's just, they're at a huge crossroads as a franchise.

Kyler Murray to the Vikings is a perfect stylistic fit

Kyler going to the—seems like stars are aligning with him in Minnesota, which I actually think is a better stylistic fit than people think. Because KOC likes guys that can launch it and that's what Kyler does best.

Kenneth Walker is the explosive weapon the Chiefs offense has been missing

They've needed this for like three years now. Pacheco did a fine job, but Pacheco wasn't this... Patrick Mahomes had more explosive scrambles last year than the running backs had gains of 12 or more yards. Now they get a guy that can hit home runs. Kenneth Walker can create something out of nothing.

The Commanders overpaid for Odafe Oweh based on a Jesse Minter-inflated sack total

He had the sixth highest pressure rate once he joined the Chargers... I will say though, that's with Jesse Minter coaching him. And that's with Jesse Minter dialing up plays that led to some unblocked pressures... It's a pretty penny. That's a lot of money to throw at him.

The Ravens are abandoning their draft-and-develop philosophy because they've drafted poorly lately

The Ravens feel like the team for however long, I mean, pretty much their entire history, it's like what they do is they draft really well. They don't have to do these type of moves. And then they do this move... maybe the Ravens haven't drafted as well recently. So now they do have to join everyone else and be these guys.

The Ravens have a three-to-four-year window with Lamar Jackson to go all in and win a Super Bowl

Are the Ravens basically saying Lamar Jackson, he's 29, he's got, we got like a three, four year window where we're gonna have to go all in here? You're kind of forking the road. Are you trying to keep your draft capital to keep reloading around Lamar Jackson? You're like, 'Hey, let's go win this right now.'

The Cowboys 'monitoring' every situation is just a facade for doing nothing

Thoughts and prayers to the Dallas Cowboys who are now leading the NFL in number of guys that they're monitoring... they've been monitoring every situation. So they were monitoring the Crosby situation extremely closely. And they're very disappointed that they did not get Maxx Crosby, despite the fact that they're monitoring.

The NFL center market is currently the hottest position market in the world

The center market actually feels like it's the hottest market out there. The Packers signed their center who started seven games signed for 11 million a year. The center market just might be the hottest market in the world.

Kyler Murray's next team will reveal whether he actually cares about football

I think where Kyler decides to go is going to be very interesting. Yeah. Because no, no matter where he goes, I think we'll be able to say some very definitive statements about Kyler that might, might be wrong, but we'll definitely say them. If he goes to the Jets, it's like, oh, Kyler wanted to take a paycheck. Right. And he still doesn't care about football. Right.

I love the DJ Moore trade for the Bears because it clears cap space for Max Crosby or Tyler Linderbaum

I love this trade because you clear up money. [DJ Moore's] got a big pretty hefty contract so you clear up money to maybe go get a Max Crosby or a Linderbaum. You get a pick and you make the bet that Luther Burden and Rome Odunze are gonna be taking leaps forward.

The Chiefs-Rams Trent McDuffy trade is the first true win-win trade in NFL history

I think the only win-win trade in the history of the NFL might be the McDuffy trade. The one that just happened. Where the the Chiefs traded McDuffy to the Rams. The Rams don't give a fuck about first round picks. They got a great player and they still have their better first round pick from the Falcons. That to me is the first win-win trade in the history of the NFL.

DJ Moore would not have had a 1,000-yard season if he stayed in the Bears' offense

He could have a thousand yards [with the Bills] and be like, wow. How, how could you trade him? He wouldn't have had a thousand yards in this Bear's offense.

The Rams have proven that first-round draft picks outside of the top 10 don't matter

Are the Rams doing it correctly? Not that draft picks don't matter. Draft picks outside of the top 10 don't matter as much... instead of taking risks on a bunch of 21 year olds, let's get the known commodity knowing it's a crapshoot and just keep punting that down the line being like, we don't care.

Mac Jones is the definitive 'Next Sam Darnold'

I think Mac Jones is the next Sam Darnold... I like Mac Jones [as] one.

The Eagles will draft a quarterback in the early rounds

I think they might draft a quarterback. ... What if you fell it to the second, what if you fell to the second max? Like there's been a history in Philadelphia of drafting guys in the second round when you don't really necessarily think that they're in the market for a quarterback

The Jets will make the playoffs next year

Aaron Glenn is locked in. He's as ready as he is ever been. Jets playoffs next year.

The guy in charge of measuring arm lengths at the NFL Combine is bad at his job.

There's a big story that's brewing under wraps at the combine... the guy that measures arm length at the combines is not good at measuring arm length. This is going to be two years in a row where the arm length that's measured at the combine does not add up to what happens at the individual workouts or the guy's pro days. He's got a short measurement.

It is literal torture that the Steelers locker room only has five bathroom stalls for the whole team.

The Steelers locker room only has five bathroom stalls for the entire team. That's egregious. That's insane. Five bathroom stalls for 53 large men that have to take shits all the time. That's actually torture. Your favorite player is oftentimes awkwardly trying to like silence his shit, which no man should have to do. Sucks.

Drake Maye struggles disproportionately on third-and-six.

On [Drake Maye's] scouting him on third down, they were like undefeated on third and two, third and three. They're nasty. But on third and six, he struggles. Third and six is the one down and distance he struggles with disproportionately... just that one yard. Third and six struggle.

The NFL conditioning test for linemen is a joke now.

I think the lineman test is way easier now. It's like a joke. It's only the skill guys [that are hard], but the lineman ones is a joke. Now's not the time to like lower your standard.

Arm length doesn't matter for a tackle as long as the quarterback doesn't have tiny hands

Arm length doesn't always dictate everything. If you have a guy that's got short arms that's playing tackle, it's not the end of the world unless maybe you also have a quarterback with tiny hands, in which case it's like synergy factors. Right. Where if the guy with short arms can't block the guy and then the guy with tiny hands gets hit, more likely to fumble.

The Jets fleeced the Titans in the T'Vondre Sweat for Jermaine Johnson trade

I think the Jets fleece the Titans. I think it's a win-win, win-win win plus for the Jets. I'll say win plus... So they traded for [T'Vondre] Sweat. He has two years left on his contract. Jermaine Johnson only had one year left on his contract.

Andy Dalton would be the perfect veteran backup for JJ McCarthy on the Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings. Like that would make a, he'd be the perfect guy for JJ McCarthy. He looks like a Viking... I kind of like the Vikings [for Dalton].

The 49ers will not trade Mac Jones because they like him too much as a backup for Brock Purdy

I don't think they're gonna trade Mac Jones. They just have not, they, they like him too much. And Brock Purdy runs around. He's an active guy and he's missed some time. And when Brock Purdy missed time, Mac [Jones] was able to step right in... I think they really like Mac Jones too much [to move him].

Brandon Aiyuk will be released by the 49ers on the first day of the league year

[Brandon Aiyuk] will be released on the first day of the league year I would think... We know he is not gonna be in San Francisco.

Alec Pierce will be a top target in free agency for teams like the Patriots, Bills, and Browns

Alec Pierce, I think is a guy that's gonna get a lot of interest. He'll go quick. I would think that... Patriots, bills, [Browns] obviously. I'm trying to think of a wide receiver needy team... Cleveland.

Trey Hendrickson would love to sign with Tampa Bay to stay in Florida for tax reasons

I think that [Trey Hendrickson] would love to be in Tampa. He lives in Ponte Vedra... Tampa would be a great fit, I think in a perfect world. I think in a perfect world, Trey would like to stay in Florida if he could. No state tax.
