Takes

The Texans might actually benefit long-term from Nico Collins being out because it forced Tank Dell and Joe Mixon to step up.

My idea that the Texans might actually end up benefiting long-term for Nico Collins being out this tank dell had his best game of the season. Joe Mixon was a awesome, again... I think the Texans are gonna be better off [because of the variety of scoring].

The Lions have the best roster in the NFC by far.

I think they're the best roster in the NFC by far. ... I still think that the Lions are, are good enough to still, we can still say I think they have the best roster in the NFC. ... I'm not saying the Lions are bad. I just don't, I don't think the Bucs [are in that tier].

The Panthers should put Bryce Young back in because they aren't winning with Andy Dalton anyway.

Why don't the Panthers just put Bryce Young back in? ... What's the point in not playing him when you're not gonna do anything this year? I know that it's probably, you know, you're, you're wishing on a lottery ticket. But what's the point in not playing him when you're not gonna do anything this year? ... The gambler in me would be like, what if a one in a hundred chance he just, something clicks and he's good.

Dak Prescott is not a Super Bowl winning quarterback

I'm just not buying. I don't believe I've, I've seen enough. I know what he is. And what especially he is not, he is two and five in the postseason. And every time a big moment has come in a postseason game that is begging to be won, he's not there.

Jeff Ulbrich, he's got to work out because when it comes to interim head coaches, you either need a fat guy, or you need like an ex-player hardass... He looks like the ex-player hardass linebacker... Being a wrestler, I feel like is a big, big plus in the interim head coach power rankings.

If the NFL was a stock market... [I'm buying] Washington. I wouldn't have said that prior to this year... I can't tell you how high I am on this quarterback [Jayden Daniels]. It's been a long time since I've been that high on a young quarterback.

The Dolphins should start tanking for the #1 overall pick

The only team that I could say confidently that should tank as of right now is Miami Dolphins. Yeah. I think that's the only team I would say you should tank. 'cause you're gonna need a sit... because Tua, you can't, you can't say that he's gonna go through a whole season.

Justin Fields better than Russell Wilson. I think so.
