The Bill Simmons Podcast
Part 2: Eagles/C-Words Reax, Drake Maye Fever, the RB Boom and Million Dollar Picks With Joe House and Nate Tice

Yeah, which I was pulling my hair out a little bit because I never thought the mental side for May was why he had to sit, which is why you usually sit a guy. Well, this guy's only been in an air raid offense. He's never had to handle this. He's never had to handle that. He's never had to be in a huddle. All those things.

I watched May and the in-between stuff was a lot of encouraging mental aspects. I saw him changing protections. I saw him doing a lot of aspects that maybe encouraged that he could start right away. And I think the footwork stuff got overblown because footwork was... Like that's coachable. That's what drove me nuts during that whole draft process where people acting like that's damning.

It was, well, what if we cleans up the footwork that you guys are all worried about? And he's doing these things with quote unquote bad footwork. And a lot of stuff is just people kind of talking out of their ass, I think. He bounces. You even see him now. And even the quarterback coach talked about it. I'm blanking on his name right now.

But he was talking about like, hey, you look and how he moves in the pocket. That's a good thing because he's keeping his eyes downfield because he's looking to attack the defense. And sometimes when another offensive lineman's losing, it can look like he's drifting into another pressure, but he's going away from the initial pressure, which is a good thing. That's exactly what you want.

The speech thing, too, is just that mentality. He has that... perfect level of golden retriever brain that I love. You know, Josh Allen's got that a little bit too, where it's like, it's confidence and everything, but they still have that little goofiness that it's like, okay, you're not just a total robot, you know, that people can relate to this.
