Chapter 2: What is the outlook for the Buffalo Bills this season?
Girls can hit it like 12, 13, 14. So some guys hit it like 16 years old. So the physical advantage, the line of scrimmage, especially if you're playing at high school with seniors that have some college players, they'd be so much faster than you. Now if it's like the worst high school team ever, sure, and you've got ā
Christian McCaffrey Patrick Mahomes and you know Patrick Sertan that are 8th graders on your team maybe you could make some plays but it would be really really difficult so I would say no I listen every morning I'm a Ravens fan and for a long time I've said a receiver is what we need to move the needle not our coach we made some half-assed attempts to get a veteran receiver with Beckham Hopkins but they both were on the decline
Flowers is good, but not good enough to carry the whole team like a Justin Jefferson could. Am I missing something? Would love your input. Second question. I'm going to Charleston, South Carolina for a conference and I have a day off. I want to play some golf. Well, I've never been, but if I was you, I would try to play like Harbortown or Kiowa.
I would say it just hasn't been your MO historically as an organization. You know, from Anquan Bolden to... Who's Lamar's best wide receiver been? That's just not really the... Look at the guys they invest in. Look at this offseason. Who are their two big investments? A guard and a pass rusher. They let playmaking tight end leave. So, I'm with you.
Like, I think they would love a Justin Jefferson, but they're probably less inclined to take that guy high. You almost need to get lucky in the draft. Zay Flowers is a good pick. He's a good player. But... Hell, maybe you trade for Justin Jefferson. Would you trade two first-round picks if you're the Ravens for Justin Jefferson? You know, a guy like that, if they're available?
From a Bronco fan perspective, you were hot and cold on Nick's. Sometimes it feels like you were pretty high on him. Other times it feels like you don't view him as a competent quarterback. Example, you said something along the lines of Josh Allen had his chance at a Super Bowl last year and he couldn't even get through Bo freaking Nick's. So what's your take on Bo?
I know you don't like rankings, but where do you think he fits? Any chance that he can become a legitimate elite high-level starter? Or do you think Broncos are in a spot where they will have to pay a mid-quarterback top money? Well, one thing is, if he doesn't get dramatically better, they're not going to pay him. So he has to take a big step. Josh Allen's in the peak of his powers.
He's the MVP. So Josh Allen, compared to Bo Nix, is like the size of the Grand Canyon. There was a gap, Jalen Brunson against Victor Wimbinyama, and obviously Victor Wimbinyama's way better than Bo Nix. So if Josh Allen in a playoff game is going up against Bo Nix in a playoff game in early 2026, Josh Allen's got to win that game. And really, obviously, it was a winnable game.
Bo Nix, to me, is top 15 quarterback. He has made high-level, top 6-7 quarterback-level plays in big moments, which matters, right? But for a period, Derek Carr had more comebacks than Aaron Rodgers. So some of that is because your team's down a lot. And a lot of the reason they're down is it's not like their defense is always getting shredded. He's not playing well.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of clock management in the Shanahan coaching tree?
I mean, the guy couldn't stop fucking smoking and function. But in high school, he was incredible. Sometimes, like, I remember watching guys in high school when I was at Fresno State, like Eric Kendricks, who went on to have like a be a pro bowler, unreal player in college. Like I think it was that good in high school, uh, college best player I've ever seen live is Kellen Moore.
Kellen Moore is like my Joe Montana. He was so good in college. Can I just read you, uh, some Kellen Moore college stats? When I was at Fresno, it was the peak of their powers. Kellen Moore in college threw 142 touchdowns and 28 interceptions. I'm pretty sure Boise State's record during his three years as the starter. So that would have been 8-9. They went 12-0. I think he was 53.
And I think he was like 50-3 or 53-3. He never lost. He was incredible. In the NFL, I mean, I've seen Tom Brady. Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning. I mean, I've seen all those guys live. I would say the guys I saw play the best, I mean, I saw J.J. Watt in the peak of his powers. It was like looking at the white Lawrence Taylor.
I mean, they were different type players, but I'm just saying, like, he could not be stopped. I went to a game. He had multiple sacks. He had a strip fumble, which he got from the quarterback, which he took, and he scored a touchdown as a tight end. That was a bad Raider team, but I just remember thinking, It was like a second or third year. Jesus. I mean, I've seen a bunch of the great Niners.
Bowman, Willis were pretty incredible. All the guys on Seattle. Russell, Earl Thomas, Cam Chancellor. I would just say pure one game I remember leaving thinking like, that's as good as it gets would be J.J. Watt. It would have been like 14, I think. Pretty sure he had multiple sacks. He had like seven tackles, four TFLs, and a touchdown. And his touchdown was not just like a wide open touchdown.
He caught like a beautiful dime in the corner of the end zone. And I remember talking to an assistant who said that they had talked to Washington because I'm pretty sure the Texans opened up against Washington. And their coach is saying that was like his opening game against the Redskins at the time. I think one of the coaches had told the other team's coach, that's the best game we'd ever seen.
If an offensive coordinator works under a play-calling head coach like Ben Johnson, is he viewed as a less important person within the organization? Put it another way, is Press Taylor unlikely to be seen as the reason for any success of the Bears? Yeah, I mean, you just... When you're the guy making the decisions, you get the credit. So if you're in an organization...
If you're the offensive coordinator and you're not the play caller, one, you're making less money. So when you make less money, you're viewed a little differently. When you're the offensive or defensive coordinator and you're the guy making the play calls, one, if you're an established guy, you're compensated highly. And two, you do all the press. It's just you're the decision maker.
That guy is like a glorified position coach. Maybe that's unfair. I don't mean Press Taylor specifically. I just mean the offensive coordinator that's not calling the plays. And it's probably different place to place. But I've talked to people that know people that work with Sean McVay.
