Offensive line sacks should be timed; after 5 seconds, it's the quarterback's fault

I think after five seconds it should be considered a tackle for loss [instead of a sack]... these dbs are supposed to cover for 10 seconds. That shouldn't be a completion against me.

Sam Howell's historically high sack numbers are due to him not throwing the ball rather than bad offensive line play

The Washington commanders, they are top five in the NFL with time before pressure. Right. Which tells me that Sam Howell is just not fucking throwing the ball.

It is hard to see Justin Fields remaining as the Bears quarterback in 2024

I think like, there's a lot of growth in the last month... The unique situation with Green or Chicago right now is this, it's hard to see how Justin Fields is their quarterback in 2024. And I'm a Justin Fields guy.

Dak Prescott is the most 'Mid' quarterback in the NFL

Number one, Dak Prescott for sure... I think that those guys could play as high as like a top seven, top eight, top nine quarterback. Or if, you know, my tackle's out and my number one receiver's not there, I might play as a top 12 or top 13 dude.

Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins are both top 5 'Mid' quarterbacks in the league

Number one, Dak Prescott for sure. Jared Goff... Kirk Cousins for sure. Baker Mayfield. And Geno Smith. This would be my top five guys that are like, again, I think that those guys could play as high as like a top seven, top eight, top nine quarterback. Or if, you know, my tackle's out and my number one receiver's not there, I might play as a top 12 or top 13 dude.

The Ravens are a true Super Bowl contender

I think they're the most perfectly average team in the NFL right now. ... They're right in the middle where they, they'll just beat all the bad teams and lose to all the good ones.

The Chiefs have reached their final form and are now winning like the 2000s Patriots

The Chiefs, they've reached their final form of being the Patriots just dominating teams even so that like, they're now doing it a little bit different way where they're sneaking up. ... they're shape shifting and they're now winning in a completely, not a completely different way. ... they've changed it over a few times and they're still gonna keep winning.

The Dolphins are frauds until they beat a real team

I am of the firm believer. I love watching the Dolphins play football. They're very fun. They are on my fraud list until they beat a real team. ... they have played two teams that are at least playoff worthy teams in the Bills and the Eagles and got smoked.

The Dolphins' game against the Chiefs in Germany is a 'must compete' game

I have a take. I think Aiden O'Connell might be a future starting quarterback in the NFL... I saw him against the Chargers. He looked good.

[Big Cat]: Do you think Mac Jones makes it through this game? [Hank]: No.

Jim Schwartz is the most important person on the Cleveland Browns defense

The defensive coordinator? Yeah. Jim Schwartz. He's the most important guy. They've had talent there in Cleveland. Now it's, it's elite right now... But you know, he's, he's a, he's a statistician mathematician. So numbers like he gets all that.

Jared Goff is legitimately in the MVP conversation

No, they're 5 0 1. He's playing great football. The offense is dynamic. The guy's tough as can be. ... You're not gonna find a better quarterback than Jared Goff. And he knows, first of all, he's a lockstep with a really talented offense coordinator... He's not gonna play any better or go anywhere else like he is right now in Detroit.

If Tom Brady played for the Falcons right now, they could win a Super Bowl

I feel like if you could get Tom Brady away from some celebrity of function he's at right now and put him in a Falcon uniform, I feel like they could win a Super Bowl. Yeah. Like the quarterback is just, it's, it's too up and down. They got the town is ridiculous. ... London and what they have, like they've got a and they got a solid offensive line.

The Ravens are currently good but lack the killer instinct to be great

I feel like the Ravens are in the good have not figured out how to be great category yet... they're not being able to step on a team's throat... they're not finishing drives and they're not letting teams just kind of linger around.

If the NFL hosts a Super Bowl in London, we should riot and reclaim England as a U.S. territory

The Browns might actually be better without Deshaun Watson and Nick Chubb

Harbaugh, I think it is in the back of Harbaugh's mind that if he wins a national championship, he he wants to go back to the NFL because... he can't stand the fact that he hasn't won a Super Bowl and his brother has won over him. So he's definitely thinking about going back to the NFL and you would think that he would want to go back to a team that might be in a position to draft Caleb Williams.

Tyreek Hill is the hardest player to game plan for and the biggest mismatch in the NFL

Russell Wilson has played himself out of a Hall of Fame career

Andy Reid is playing the NFL on 'expert mode' because he's bored

I think Andy Reid is bored with the NFL. I think Andy Reid is—he's made himself play the NFL on expert mode with the weird shit that he's obsessed with doing.

But they do all these weird plays, almost like Andy is just like—he's playing with his food.

The NFL London games have lost their allure and are now a burden

I'm kind of sick of the London game. I like the early football. I'm sick of the fact that they have made something that was unique and different into just every week. This is the third week in a row. They're just changing the schedule on us. Now it doesn't feel cool and unique, it just feels like a burden.

Devin Witherspoon will put the 'absolute clamps' on Ja'Marr Chase

I dreamt that [Devin] Witherspoon was going to put the absolute clamps on Ja'Marr Chase in the game.

So I'm betting the under on his receiving yards this week.
