The Bill Simmons Podcast
The 2025 NFL Free Agency Awards With Danny Heifetz, Craig Horlbeck, and Danny Kelly

Is that in play or no? Possibly. I believe him and Clint Kubiak have overlapped at one point in time. So probably not. But coming off of an injury, also the baggage that I think he would bring, I would hope that wouldn't be their solution. I don't know. DeAndre Hopkins, maybe? I think he's still a free agent. Danny, cover your ears. It's bleak. Cover your ears for this part.

So quick question. What you just said, though, about how Tom Brady kind of changed everything about what we should expect from older quarterbacks, does that not apply to Geno because of... Basically, he took six or seven years of backup and he didn't really take any hits or whatever. It's possible. Should we pay attention to this?

I mean, I think this is kind of becoming a cliche at this point, but it's just all about the lack of development in college football of offensive linemen. The schemes are wide open. They play wider splits. They don't actually do the real type of pass blocking that you see in the NFL or run blocking that you see in the NFL. I think just it's a... There's a...

you know, lack of development coming up from college game to the pros. And you see these teams have to develop guys. You're basically now just taking good athletes and hoping that they can, you can teach them to block in a lot of cases, not, not always, but in a lot of Jordan, a lot of strategy. Right.

And I mean, you know, in this class in particular, and you've mentioned this, but a lot of the top tackles in this class are maybe guards. You know what I mean? They're either not quite long enough arm length or, you know, maybe not quite enough foot speed or whatever. Playing left tackle in the NFL, playing right tackle either side. Now, there's so many good pass rushers.

The best athletes on the NFL field are pass rushers. And it's an extremely, extremely difficult job to be a left tackle. So or to be a right tackle. So I think it's just a it's a development issue. It's a issue where all the best athletes are going to the defensive line instead of the offensive line.
