Takes

Downfield laterals are the next major offensive innovation in the NFL

I'm a firm believer in a downfield lateral because it's just, you need to practice it... It is a hundred percent on board... The downfield lateral is probably the next way that we're gonna see more of these explosive plays.

The Baltimore Ravens will win the Super Bowl

Baltimore... Complete team. Todd Monkin offense... Lamar's playing at a different speed... the fact that their defense is playing [well].

Josh Dobbs with zero practice reps would be a better fit for the Jets offense than Zach Wilson

Honestly, I think if they had Josh Dobbs at quarterback, they could figure it out. Josh Dobbs with zero practice reps is probably a better fit for that offense than Zach Wilson Is he? He looks confused in the middle of plays.

Aaron Rodgers is trolling the media and is not actually close to coming back from his Achilles injury

My theory about Aaron Rodgers is he is, he's a troll. He loves trolling. He loves fucking with the media a little bit... I don't think that he's gonna come back in a couple weeks. I think he's doing this knowing that the media will see him on TV and talk about Aaron Rodgers coming back.

I would take Bill Belichick as the next head coach of the Commanders

I would take Belichick. I just wanna say that for the record. I, I think Bill Belichick is a good head coach and I would like to see him coaching my team. I, especially if it's instead of Hank's team.

The Miami Dolphins are officially frauds

The Miami Dolphins are officially F-R-A-U-D-S. Frauds. They're not real. Not they're not real... The Dolphins verse teams with a winning record are oh and three, 100 for their opponent, 51 for them.

The Chiefs defense is a top five unit in the NFL

I think the Chiefs are a really good defense. I think the Chiefs are a top five defense. They're good. Which is crazy to say. But I think that that's the scariest part about the Chiefs, is that their offense still doesn't look like peak Mahomes.

The Baltimore Ravens are the best team in the NFL

I would just like to admit right now the Baltimore Ravens, I think they are the best team in the NFL. I think the ra it to my ears. I have them, they're my Super Bowl pick. I I think the Ravens are the most complete team.

I'm officially done with Geno Smith

I'm done with Geno. Yeah. I've had enough Gino. I, I think I'm good with Gino... I will never feel trust in Gino to be like, you can go win this big, big game.

CJ Stroud is a top 10 quarterback in the NFL

CJ Stroud looks CJ Stroud's the top 10 Quarterback.

Sam Howell is a top 12 quarterback in the NFL right now

Sam Howell is firmly the guy. He's my guy. He's our guy. He's the guy in DC... Top 15 Quarterback. Top 15 Quarterback in the NFL. I would say top 12.

The Commanders will finish 9-8 and make the playoffs

I'm now talking myself back in the playoffs. Ooh. Because someone's gotta get that seventh spot... I think nine [wins]. I'm going to be honest and say Loss at Ramps. Win. At Jets Win. Okay. There it is. Yep. Niners loss. Cowboys Win. Wait, that, that's still eight... run it back and count again... That's nine. That's fine. and we're in the playoffs as the 17th.

The Patriots are the worst team in the AFC

Patriots are ass dude. Hey, factor fiction is the worst team in the A ffc... Statistical fact.

I'm going to bet on the Eagles to win the Super Bowl after they lose a few games

I'm going to bet on the Eagles to win the Super Bowl after this stretch. 'cause they're gonna lose a couple of these games and that's fine. Max, that's fine.

The Buffalo Bills might not make the playoffs

The Bills have a tough schedule. The Bills might not make the playoffs... they play the Jets who they always struggle with at home. Then they have to play at Eagles. At Chiefs versus Cowboys at Chargers... That's a pretty tough four games.

Will Levis is a legitimate NFL quarterback

Will Levis is good. He's the guy that was a game that you thought Short rest, going to Pittsburgh. Tough defense. Tough pass rush. I did not think that he would have the game that he had... His spiral is beautiful. You know what? It's effortless. The ball looks, looks different.

The Pittsburgh Steelers play the ugliest but most entertaining games in the NFL

I kind of love the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fact that they play the ugliest games, but they're a lot of fun. Yeah. Because they're always close And. it feels like they're always dramatic because this is the, the Pittsburgh Steeler way.

You must bet on the Dolphins in the Germany game because of the Chiefs' late travel

I would love to bet the Chiefs, but the travel is so far in my head and we've seen it... the Chiefs are getting into Germany. Like right now they're practicing one time. They're practicing on Friday. One time McDaniel got the guys in there on like Monday or Tuesday... We bet the dolphins we're betting on the clock.

The NFL has finally figured out Travis Kelce

Has the NFL figured out Travis Kelce finally? Well, I think it's the, the NFL has finally figured out that the Chiefs might have some work in progress when it comes to wide receiver position.

Taylor Heineke will keep the Falcons starting job over Desmond Ridder

I think Heineke is gonna take this job. So if Heineke plays well then Arthur Smith will be like, well you know, we gotta ride. We gotta ride the hot hand for a little bit and then we'll go back to Ritter once Heineke starts stinking. But no, I think Heineke is gonna take this job.

Bill Belichick to the Commanders is a real possibility

Josh Harris wants a big splash. He wants a big name Coach Belichick probably at the end of his tenure in New England. Why not get him to dc? He can coach lacrosse at the Naval Academy. Annapolis is like 30 minutes from FedEx Field... I think these conversations are happening.

Bet on any team playing the Bears to win their division

I've told everyone, If, you want to If you like the Saints this week. Which you should. 'cause they'll beat the Bears. Bet 'em to win the, the, the division. Now's the time. It's a free win bet. Every team who play, every team who plays the Bears just bet that team to win the division. 'cause you know, you'll get at least better odds once they beat the Bears.

The Cowboys are frauds if they lose to the Eagles

I say if the Cowboys lose this game. Frauds. Yeah. We're we're, we're gonna call 'em frauds. Yep. If the Eagles lose this game and it's close, we're gonna say, should you take out the panic button?

Antonio Pierce will provide an immediate 'interim coach bounce' for the Raiders

I love the Raiders in this game. 'cause Antonio Pierce feels like it's the perfect interim head coach bounce... Antonio Pierce feels like it's the perfect interim head coach bounce except for the fact that the guy calling the plays now for the Raiders... is from the Adam Gase Coaching Tree.

The 'running back by committee' approach is killing back pay and star development

A lot of those guys are so talented that teams only highlighted, you know, you just highlight that specialty. Instead of allowing those guys to become the total package, like force those guys to be three down backs. Everybody is kind of running back by committee... that's the reason why [they don't get paid]. 'cause you don't get to display an, it's higher body of work.

The 2001 Miami Hurricanes' defense was harder to play against than any college opponent

My competition was, we gotta figure out how we kick Ed Reed ass today. We gotta figure out how we kick Philip Buchanan ass today. That's Wilford. Like Jonathan Vilma... That was our competition. It was the defense... our practices used to be so crazy... If, if I walked up and one of you guys walked up, I'm like, that's a wasted rep to me.

Super Bowl Pick: Eagles vs. Ravens

I like the Eagles. I think... in the NFC, they're the most complete team right now... And AFC if Lamar continues to develop... If that defense hit stride in, in December, January... I think the Ravens become tough... I think he brings a different element and dimension to that team.

The Bears would never trade a second-round pick for Montez Sweat without a long-term deal in place

I assume every trade like this, you assume that there is a deal in place to resign Montez Sweat. So everyone's like, why would you trade a second round pick for a guy who's gonna be a free agent? Obviously if he becomes a free agent, this is the dumbest deal ever. I am assuming that Ryan Polls has already worked it out with his agent and there's a plan in place to sign him long-term.

I am officially all in on the San Francisco 49ers

I would like to officially announce I'm all in on the Niners now. I Trent Williams, chase Young Kyle Shanahan. I said this on, on Monday's show. But if you're a fan of a shitty franchise, the best you can do sometimes is to just root for your guys to win somewhere. So I'm, I'm gonna put a big future on the Niners. They're my team.

Josh McDaniels is a misunderstood genius whose offense only works with Hall of Fame players

I think maybe we're all wrong about Josh McDaniels. Maybe he is an offensive genius, but maybe there's just no players that are good enough to play football at the level that Josh McDaniels expects... his offense only works if it's Tom Brady and Randy Moss running it. And if it's anybody else, then it just looks like the biggest nightmare you've ever seen.

Kirk Cousins was on the verge of being in the MVP conversation before his injury

Kirk Cousins. A lot of games every game. Fastest Two minutes. A great Monday recap for everyone... The big story from this game was the unfortunate injury to Kirk Cousins... Kirk Cousins Tears his Achilles... he also was playing awesome Ball. Like he was on the precipice of being in the MVP conversation because the Vikings started to win games.

The Packers are officially a bad football team

I foolishly thought this was the spot to back the Packers because it was the Vikings off a big win against the Niners. The Packers look terrible. Turns out the Packers are just dog shit... yeah, the Packers are bad. Yeah, they're officially a bad team.

Sam Howell is the franchise quarterback for the Washington Commanders

Sam Howell is the guy. He was amazing today. He might've been the best quarterback in the NFL this entire week... Sam Howell is the fucking guy. He's the most guy ever. Oh, okay. He is the guy. The guy a guy... he's the goddamn motherfucking guy bitch.

The Dolphins are currently the Super Bowl favorites

The Dolphins just have so much motion, so much speed. I it they're, they're hard to stop it. It's gonna be, I think the Dolphins are the Super Bowl favorites.

The Saints will win the NFC South division

Should we put a future on the Saints to win the NFC South?... The coin has them going 11 and six. So that sounds like it would win that division. Let's take a look... I think we might have to take the Saints to win the division.

Zach Wilson is incapable of playing good football in the rain

I think [Zach Wilson] would've played better if it didn't rain. I said it a couple weeks ago. Can't play in the rain. Yeah, that's true. You did say that. You called that he can't play in the rain.

Deshaun Watson does not love playing the game of football

A lot of people were having the discourse. Does Deshaun Watson love football? Mm. Does he love, does he love being a football player or does he love playing football? Mm. I love that conversation... I think he just loves being a football player. Big Cat. He loves being paid like a football player... I don't think that he loves football. He doesn't love the grind.

The San Francisco 49ers are officially in trouble

The Niners are in trouble... You can't lose a can't lose... Their defense has been bad the last two weeks... The Niners defense is the issue. Yeah. I don't think Brock pa, he didn't play that poorly today... their defense just stunk.

The Cincinnati Bengals are back and healthy for the season

The Bengals are all the way back. These are the Bengals that If, you were a Bengals fan... This was the Bengals announcing their back because Joe Burrow was outta this world good... He's healthy. And this is what you want from the Bengals.

Justin Fields looks like an asshole for wearing sunglasses on the sideline while the team is losing

I didn't love that Justin Fields is wearing sunglasses on the sideline yet. I did love it. I know this is to makes me sound like an old guy... I don't know if you're, if you're at your job and you're wearing sunglasses, you are a piece of shit... Justin Fields wearing sunglasses and George looks like an asshole. I love Justin Fields. So, I I know. Listen, we've had 'em on the show... If I were standing next to him, I've been like, maybe what? Maybe if we're winning the sunglasses play when you're getting your ass kicked the way we got our ass kicked. Maybe take 'em off.

The Buffalo Bills will finish the season with 11 wins

Maybe this is what the Bills are. Maybe the Bills are just gonna end up being like a 11 win team and they'll look... they'll have at least two more times this season where they look like the worst team in football.

Matt Milano will return from his leg injury in time for the NFL playoffs

I'm gonna say Matt Milano will be back for the playoffs and I've done zero research into it.

Todd Bowles is a creative but poor head coach who bores fans

Todd Bowles, he's boring and not good, which is the worst combination. But he does find creative ways to be bad. Whatever that was at the end of the half. You were was a very creative way to be bad.

The Los Angeles Rams actually stink and were overrated due to a lucky Week 1 win

I have a theory that I would like to throw out there. The Rams stink... Every year there's like one or two teams that have a great week one and it sticks in our head for a while. Maybe too long. The Rams beat the Seahawks week one... Since then... their two wins after the Seahawks week one win was against the colts in overtime... and the Cardinals.

You have to bet on the Packers against the Vikings because Minnesota is coming off a high

The Vikings just beat the Niners on Monday Night Football in front of the world. They're going to play at Lambeau against a very stinky Packers team. You have to bet the Packers.

I am betting the Patriots money line to beat the Dolphins

Are you gonna bid on Money Line? Yes. Have to.

Tyrod Taylor is a better quarterback than Daniel Jones

Tyrod Taylor is better than Daniel Jones. It's so crazy how much the giants fuck that up. Like you had Daniel Jones for four years and he was, what the, somewhere between like the 15th and 20th best quarterback.

Arthur Smith is a sneaky genius for limiting Bijan Robinson's touches to keep him fresh

Could Arthur Smith be a sneaky genius? Could he be saying we just spent a lot of money on this first round pick running back. Don't put too many miles on him early in the season. Bijan is gonna look that much faster late in the year.

Bryce Young will play well and the Panthers will win their first game against the Texans

I think Bryce Young's gonna look good today. I think the Panthers might win their first game of the season.

Trent Williams is the most important player on the 49ers offense

I think Trent Williams is [the most important player on the offense] for sure. Christian McCaffrey at 85% without Deebo Samuel and without Trent Williams... things look different.
