PFT CommenterInterim head coaches are the best part of the NFL
Interim head coaches are without a doubt the best part of the NFL.
PFT CommenterPractice until there's a compound fracture to let players control practice length
Day two, we practice until there's a compound fracture. You let the players control how long they play. If there's an injury in the first five minutes, guess what? We're done. If it takes us two hours, we'll be out here all day.
PFT CommenterThrow away the red no-contact jerseys - all lives matter on my football team
I'd also take the red no-contact shirts that the quarterbacks and the kickers wear. I'd throw them in the trash. We don't discriminate on my football team. All lives matter. If you can't handle your contact, then I can't handle your contract.
PFT CommenterReplace the training room with a church and a Home Depot catalog
And then what I do is I replace the training room with a church and a Home Depot catalog. And if you can't fix it with a dose of prayer and duct tape, then I'm not sure I want your China doll ass on my team to begin with.
PFT CommenterIf you're swallowing you're wallowing - players shouldn't need water breaks
I turn off the water supply of the building, too. If you're swallowing, you're wallowing. I want players who don't need water breaks. It's also an unnecessary expense, and the owner will be very appreciative of my cost-cutting efforts.
PFT CommenterLocker rooms should have cruise ship mentality, not submarine mentality
People say that a locker room is like a submarine mentality. I want it to be above water, not below it. It's more of a cruise ship mentality. Water's cut off, there's shit on the deck, the buffet's out of everything except for Chinese Jell-O, and everyone's thirsty, but guess what? We're in it together.
PFT CommenterMasturbation strike until Rob Ryan gets an interim head coaching opportunity
I am personally willing to put my money where my mouth is for a Rob Ryan head coaching tenure. I'm ready to go on a masturbation strike until Rob Ryan gets at least an interim head coaching opportunity. No Rob, no rub. That's a fact. It's quite literally the least I could do.
PFT CommenterJ.J. Watt's illness is only a hurt - having the flu is an advantage
If you're sick enough to tell your coach that you can't play, in my book, then you're healthy enough to get out there, strap it up, and play. In fact, I'd say having the flu would technically be an advantage. If I'm a coach, I tell my running back, I say, son, you get that ball, you grab onto it, you cough directly onto the ball every time and let the defense see you cough. That way, if you fumble it, they're going to be a little freaked out and they're not going to want to recover it straight up.
PFT CommenterJamal Charles ACL tear is only a hurt - kids should preemptively tear their ACLs
If a running back was born without two knee ligaments, then they wouldn't have had their entire life to become over-reliant on their knee ligaments, and they'd actually be fine. So what I'm advocating is almost like a Tommy John type deal. It's an operation for the young kids. You preemptively tear both your ACLs, and so then that way they have more time to unlearn the bad habits that you get from playing on healthy knees before you become a pro.
PFT CommenterBeing 6-0 isn't impressive because every team has been undefeated at some point
A lot of people forget that at some point this year, every single team has been undefeated. So is 6-0 really that impressive for you guys?
PFT CommenterBlocked Andy Dalton on Twitter to maintain competitive fairness
I had to block Andy Dalton on Twitter, actually, because I feel like he was getting unfair tips and tricks from me. That was kind of like a Patriots thing he had going on, and he was stealing my ideas maybe, and maybe that's why you guys were so good.
PFT CommenterNFL pros shouldn't have contact with college teams if college players can't contact pros
I'm of the mindset that if you're in college and you're not allowed to have any contact whatsoever with a professional team or an agent, then when you're a professional, you should not have any contact with your college team or you should not be able to take a class or learn anything really.
PFT CommenterNFL teams should scrimmage during the bye week to keep working
Teams should do a full contact scrimmage on Sunday during the bye week at any rate just to keep the work going.
PFT CommenterAndy Dalton's red hair gives Bengals an unfair competitive advantage
His hair seems to be almost more red than it was last year. Like he's doubling down on his Dalton. Do you think it's unfair that Andy Dalton has something different than any other quarterback in the NFL? There's no way that you can game plan for that. What are you going to put in on scout team? Are you going to hire one of the guys from Pete and Pete to be a situational scout team player so that you can prepare for that on Sunday?
PFT CommenterArian Foster should convert to Christianity to improve his play
Arian Foster is a noted atheist. If there's one thing that God hates more than the devil, it's people like Foster who don't have the courage to believe in anything beyond the nose on their face. Atheism, it's a lazy man's religion because it's the default setting for humans.
PFT CommenterDeAngelo Williams needs to understand America cares about his highlights on the field, not in his hair
What DeAngelo Williams needs to understand is that America cares more about the highlights he puts on the field than the highlights he puts in his hair.
PFT CommenterThe NFL needs an awareness month for fans who don't have cancer
I think at the same token, the NFL needs to also have an awareness month for their fans who don't have cancer, to be fair.
PFT CommenterWater makes you weak - real football players do swish and spit
When I was a high school football player, I used to always tell the underclassmen that water makes you weak. So we do like swish and spit.
PFT CommenterThe Rams may have too many good players and not enough weak ones
You've got so many good players. Do you ever think maybe it's a concern that you maybe have too many good players and not enough weak ones?
PFT CommenterDefensive ends should jimmy tap quarterbacks to get sacks
If you're coming off the edge, a lot of times you take an angle directly at the quarterback, and that's exactly what the offensive tackle is expecting you to do. So what you could do maybe instead is take an angle just a little bit inside of the quarterback, and while you're running past him, just hit him real quick with a jimmy tap right between the legs. Right in the dick. I don't feel like that technique is emphasized enough in today's coaching environment.
PFT CommenterPlaying on more dangerous surfaces makes football safer
We're making the game less safe by no longer playing it on concrete. And now we're adding like a new bar to the face mask every week. And it's counterintuitive, but if you look at it from a macro point of view, which I am, if you want players to care about their safety a little bit more, then you need to force them to play on more dangerous surfaces.
PFT CommenterNick Saban was right to not sign Drew Brees to the Dolphins
Nick Saban gets a bum rap for bailing out on the Dolphins. He recruited Dante Culpepper. But in reality, Drew Brees' shoulder, it was the sword of Damocles, and it was hanging by a labrum. If Saban had brought Brees to Miami, then the entire franchise would be hamstrung by that big contract, and they wouldn't be able to go out and afford impact players like your Mike Wallace's and your Ndamukong Suh's that they're bringing to town.
PFT CommenterHitler canceling football seasons is an underrated bad thing he did
If you really like football, he probably wouldn't have started World War II, which de facto canceled the 1942 through 1944 NFL seasons. It wasn't called the NFL, but he canceled football. So in the first place, that's kind of fucked up. And nobody really talks about that when they're talking about all the bad stuff Hitler did. So I'd like to kind of raise a little bit of awareness there.
PFT CommenterConcussions aren't real
Concussions aren't real. Well, I probably had my brain nicked up a couple times, but if you can pee straighter than you can see after having sex, then that just means you're doing it wrong.
PFT CommenterPFT and Danny Woodhead are the same size so PFT could play in the NFL
That's actually about my exact size, too. You probably have a little bit more lean mass than I do. We're the same size, so basically you're saying that I could play in the NFL if I wanted to.
