Thoughts on the 2025 NFL Draft

Now that the NFL draft has come and gone, I have some thoughts. Let’s go.

First off, the Packers draft was kind of dull for me as a fan. They got a wideout, one I'm not all that thrilled about, and then they filled some positions of need. I know this is a good thing, but I was hoping for some kind of chances being taken. I wanted them to take some risks, but they did what they always do. I guess I shouldn't complain that much.

I love what the Titans did. They still have more to do to rebuild, but getting Cam Ward was great. He should have been the number one overall pick and I'm glad he was. He seems like the type of kid that is going to have a long and successful career. I hope for nothing but the best for him. They also got defensive help in the earlier rounds and drafted depth and strong players in the later rounds.

I like what the Arizona Cardinals did too. They got Walter Nolen late in round 1 and Will Johnson early in round 2. They can be day one starters. They pretty much focused on defense the whole draft, only taking one offensive player, a lineman. They have the offense to win, and now they are trying to shore up the defense.

The Bears did the opposite of the Cardinals, taking mostly offensive weapons. They got a tight end as a safety blanket, they got a first round wideout talent in round 2 and they took explosive players for the future of their offense in later rounds.

On the opposite end of the draft, I cannot fathom what the Saints were doing last weekend. Tyler Shough in the second round may have been the reach of the draft. Devin Neal is solid, but he cannot stay healthy. Taking Banks at nine overall was nuts. The Commanders also drafted Josh Connerly Jr way too soon. I feel like Trey Amos was a reach. And, for someone who watches a ton of college football, I don't even know who their other three picks ever are. That's not a great sign.

My biggest takeaway, and what I will spend the rest of my blog talking about, the slide and the coverage of Shedeur Sanders. I'll talk about the fall to the fifth round first.

This shouldn't have happened. Sanders is too good of a talent to fall that far. I had him as my second overall QB in this draft. Ward is leaps and bounds better, but Sanders is no slouch. He threw for a ton of yards with no threat of a run game and not the best offensive line. He has the confidence to be a starter in the NFL too. He was accurate and made smart plays most of the time. For guys like Shough and Dillon Gabriel and Jaxson Dart to go before him, that is absurd. The Giants and Saints will most likely regret not taking Sanders. The slide has to be due to bad interviews and an air of cockiness, but he should have been taken no later than the second round. He is way, way too good.

The coverage of Sanders, on the other hand, was appalling, for good and bad reasons. People are going to want to cover someone as famous and talked about as much as Sanders. That is the nature of the beast in the modern era of media coverage. But, to put the focus all on Sanders, and barely talk about Cam Ward, that disgusted me. Ward has all the tools, did great in every interview and seems to truly love the game of football. He worked his way up to being the top overall pick and it didn't seem to bother him wherever he was drafted. I have since watched videos of him training leading up to the draft, and this kid has everything a franchise could ever want in a QB prospect. But ESPN and Yahoo and Bleacher Report, all they ever talked about was Sanders. ESPN, who was covering the first round of the draft, didn't even show all of Cam Ward's interview after being drafted. They decided to cut it short and go focus on Sanders and what he was doing. This is not good for "America's sports leader". Ward earned the right to be the most talked about as the top prospect, but ESPN would rather show someone's downfall, and they didn't let up until he was drafted, and they even went a little further after Sanders was picked. That stinks for Sanders, but more so for Ward. Cam Ward did everything right, but because he isn't all about himself and how to further his brand, the big media companies decided he wasn't worthy enough. Well, I think Cam Ward is worthy enough and I'm happy for him and the Tennessee Titans.

This seems to be a match for both sides and I wish nothing but success for both parties moving forward. I'm officially a Cam Ward superfan now.

Ty's 2025 NFL Draft Preview

The NFL draft kicks off tonight with the first round. As I do every year I'm going to give my version of a draft preview. I'll pick five prospects I like, five I'm not so high on and three sleepers. I watch a ton of college football, so I do feel like I know a good amount about these guys. I'm also pretty stoked that the draft is in Green Bay this year. That's pretty cool as a Packers fan.

I'll start with the five prospects I like most.

I want to mention my first prospect that I have little to no doubt will be an eventual star in the league, Travis Hunter. Hunter is so rare and so damn good at the game of football. He is one of the top receivers in the draft and may be the top corner in the draft. He can play both ways at a very high level. He is coming off a Heisman win. He is the Shohei Ohtani of the NFL. I will be curious to see what position he ends up playing more in the league, but I fully expect him to play a good amount of offense and defense. I just hope he doesn't end up in Cleveland.

I'm going to clump my next prospect into two tight ends, Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland. Warren is more of a brute who can do a little bit of everything. He is a superior blocker. He can get separation from linebackers with ease. And he can be used in a bunch of different sets and trick plays. He is also built like a brick. Loveland is more athletic and a faster tight end. He is an okay enough blocker, but he is so much better utilized as a receiving tight end. He is tall, fast and can get away from linebackers and corners all the same. He could have a long career.

My next prospect is Kenneth Grant. Michigan has two interior d lineman that I think will be good, but I like Grant just a little more than Mason Graham. Grant, for his size, is incredibly fast. He chased down his fair share of running backs. He is an o line wrecker and a run stuffer. And once he figures it all out, he is still relatively young, he has the tools to have a productive career.

My fourth prospect I like is Tet McMillan, the receiver out of Arizona. He is big, he is fast and he has incredible hands. I hope he falls to the Packers. I'd love that. He was so productive in college, had great games against the best teams, and I personally think he is the best wideout prospect in this draft.

My final prospect I like is Cam Ward. He is, by a very wide margin, the best QB prospect in this draft. He controls the game. He has a very cool and calm demeanor that teams in need of a QB will covet. He absolutely owned the ACC last season. While at Washington State he also controlled the Pac 12. Ward is going to be a productive QB who, with the right weapons, can be a franchise cornerstone.

Now to my five prospects I'm lower on.

First, and I hate to talk down Michigan guys, is Will Johnson. Johnson was so disruptive and lockdown in his sophomore season. He and Mike Sainristil dominated in the secondary. He would have been an easy top 10 pick last year if he were eligible. He wasn't and his junior year was not as great. He was often injured after the first 1/3 of the season. He made two great plays against Fresno State and USC, but then he was basically out of the lineup. He hardly played after that. I was excited because he suited up for the game I went to see live, and he only played one series. I figured he was saving himself for the draft, but he didn't do anything at the combine and maybe even less at Michigan's pro day. He has all the tools to succeed, but he has hardly been available for over a year now, and that scares me.

Next I have James Pearce Jr. He was a projected top pick coming into this season, but he really made no noise. He could've been double and triple teamed, but no one ever really talked about him. He just kind of disappeared. I never heard about him during the combine or during Tennessee's pro day. He kind of vanished and that is not the best look.

The next guy I have is Matthew Golden, the wideout from Texas. While he is very fast, he is small and slight. That may work for a guy like Xavier Worthy, but he has otherworldly speed. Golden does not possess that kind of speed. And at 5'11 he is destined to be a slot receiver. Any team could find that in the later rounds and be happy. I just don't see him as a first round type of prospect.

My fourth guy is Malaki Starks. This is just like the James Pearce Jr stuff. Starks was supposed to be a top 10 pick, but he just kind of vanished. He didn't do much of anything that really stood out. And Georgia's defense wasn't as good as they were supposed to be last season. Starks may be an okay enough player in the long run, but he is not the elite prospect many thought he could have been.

The final guy I have is offensive tackle Josh Connerly Jr from Oregon. He has been slipping down most teams' draft boards throughout the pre draft process. His motor isn't always the highest either. He is big, but he needs to want to dominate. I don't know if he will be able to do that in the NFL. I just don't trust a first round pick on him.

Onto my three sleepers.

First I have Luther Burden III. He was a highly regarded prospect out of high school. He dominated while at Mizzou. He made Brady Cook look halfway decent. He would face double and triple teams and he still put up productive numbers. I'd take a guy like Burden before Matthew Golden. I firmly believe that Burden is the third best wideout in the draft, behind only McMillan and Hunter.

My next sleeper is Jimmy Horn Jr. He was Colorado's number two wideout behind Travis Hunter. He put up big time numbers. Receivers are also premium players in the NFL, especially if you can get them in later rounds. Jimmy Horn Jr has the pedigree, he runs solid routes and he has good hands. He can also get separation and make big plays down the field. If a receiver needy team has a later round pick, they should go after Jimmy Horn Jr without a second thought.

My final sleeper is Andrew Mukuba, the safety from Texas. I saw him up close and personal when Texas played Michigan earlier this year. He was a beast and he dominated. He was all over the field making a ton of plays. This continued throughout his whole season. And safeties are much needed in the NFL. I would love Green Bay to take him in round three or four. That would be great for me.

There you have it, my 2025 NFL draft preview. Enjoy.

Ty Watches Super Bowl LIX

The Eagles dominated Super Bowl 59 last night. Let’s discuss.

It was a wire to wire win for the Eagles. They didn’t trail for one second. There was never a moment where it looked in peril. The only thing the Chiefs did even remotely well was stop the run. But, it seemed like they were solely focused on Saquon Barkley, and that meant that Jalen Hurts was able to feast. And boy oh boy did he feast. His pass to Devonta Smith, the first Alabama alum to score a td in the Super Bowl, was an absolute gem. The crossing route ball to AJ Brown hit him in stride. The “tush push” or “brotherly shove”, whatever the hell they call it, worked to perfection. He was able to scramble for big yards and had all the time in the world to scan the field when he stayed in the pocket. Hurts was masterful last night and he more than deserved the MVP. Barkley didn’t have a monster game, but his presence was more than enough to scare the Chiefs and screw up their defensive game plan. Brown and Smith did their job at wideout and the o line was brilliant.

The Eagles defense was also otherworldly last night. The d line got constant pressure. They seemed to be in the backfield all game. I think they had five sacks. The linebackers cleaned up any mess. And the secondary was on point. Cooper Dejean had a pick six. Quinyon Mitchell laid the wood all night and they were able to pick Mahoney twice and make him look very pedestrian. Their kick game was great and their special teams did the job. Total team effort.

The Chiefs, on the other hand, were terrible. The o line was dreadful. The receivers, except for Xavier Worthy, were middling. Travis Kelce looked old and slow. The run game was non existent. Patrick Mahomes was off all night. This may be the worst he’s played since he was a rookie. The defense tried to hang in as long as possible, but the second half proved to be their undoing. I don’t know what their mindset was coming into this game, but they looked woefully unprepared. Maybe the close games all year finally caught up to them. I don’t know. The three peat wasn’t in the cards. The Eagles were ready, the Chiefs we’re clearly not.

As for the halftime show, I loved it. I’m a humongous Kendrick Lamar fan and he delivered for me last night. I loved his song choices. I loved the whole performance. I thought it was great that he did “Not Like Us”, when it was reported that he was asked not to. I was all for the direct look to camera that is now a massive viral meme. Seeing Serena Williams dance with all the dancers was rad. SZA came out and crushed. I was all in on the halftime show.

The commercials were fine and vanished from my brain quick. I don’t remember the Clydesdale commercial. Nothing made me really laugh. Unless my dad was laughing, he has a contagious laugh, not one commercial made me laugh on my own. The movie trailers have all, for the most part, already been released. I paid more attention to them this year, but nothing was worth remembering for me.

All in all, the game was underwhelming. The right team won, so I guess that’s cool. I thought Kendrick Lamar and crew were great, and the commercials were middling. I’ll end this with giving the Eagles a much deserved congrats. They won and they won big. They stomped all over the Chiefs attempt to three-peat. Congrats on the win and enjoy the spotlight Philly. Well done.

Why I am Rooting Against The Chiefs

The other day I was hanging out with my folks. I go over there a few times a week to see them and have coffee with my dad. Before we go out I usually chat with both my parents. We were talking about the Super Bowl and my mom said something that has stuck with me since then.

My mom grew up in a home where her dad watched a good amount of football. She also raised four boys, three of us that played organized football, and I have to imagine her knowledge grew by sheer osmosis. My mom actually knows more than a lot of people about football. She also happens to be a Chiefs fan. To each their own. But, since she is a fan, she asked me the other day why everyone seems to dislike them now. This is the quote that has stuck with me. She brings up a good point. There are a ton of people that actively dislike the Chiefs. I happen to be one of those people. I feel like they get some kind of help from the officials and they have an arrogance towards them. They kind of walk around like they own the NFL, which they kind of do at this moment. But, after this conversation, me, my mom and my dad all kind of went through former teams that people seem to dislike.

I was a child of the 90's. Back then, people either loved or hated the Bulls and Cowboys. I didn't mind the Bulls, but boy oh boy do I still despise the Cowboys. And a lot of that had to do with the way they carried themselves. They acted better than everyone, again, which they were. The Cowboys won a bunch and set records. The Bulls were the same. They also happened to have the GOAT, Michael Jordan. They were always in the finals and they always won. They'd beat teams like the Magic or Rockets and that seemed to frustrate everyone that wasn't a fan. In the early 2000's the NFL had the Patriots dynasty. And when I saw a bunch of people disliked the Patriots, I guess a better way to describe it is, everyone outside of Boston and New England actively rooted against the Patriots. I was indifferent, but there were points where I found myself rooting for some of the teams they were playing. I have never been an Eagles fan, but when Donovan McNabb was their QB, I wanted nothing more than his team to beat the Patriots. I never rooted for the Rams when they were in STL, but when they had The Greatest Show on Turf, you're damn right I was frustrated when they got beat by the Patriots, thus starting their dynasty. And I will go to my grave believing Charles Woodson stripped Tom Brady and that the tuck rule is the dumbest rule in pro sports. I have to imagine a bunch of people in the 70's were sick of the Celtics and Steelers. Those teams were winning all the time and it had to bum non fans out. Currently in the sports world I find myself actively rooting against the Lakers, Dodgers and Yankees. The Lakers always seem to find a way to land a superstar. The Yankees buy players. And the Dodgers, well, I feel like they're ruining pro baseball based on the sheer fact that they can sign anyone they want whenever they want. Their lineup features Shoehei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, among others. They signed the best pitching prospect in Japan recently. They also signed the top reliever on the market. I wouldn't be shocked if they win 140 games, and I find that this also bums me out.

The main thing all these teams seem to have in common, they're winning teams. They all have multiple titles and superstars that have rolled through their locker rooms. They have big names and big personalities. But, the main common thread, the main thing, the reason I believe that people actively dislike all the teams I mentioned, and now with the Chiefs, they win and most people like to root for the underdog. Sorry mom, but I'd much rather see the Eagles win the Super Bowl this year. I couldn't root for either team last year because the Chiefs and 49ers are my two least favorite teams in the NFL. I rooted for the Falcons when they gave up their 25 point lead. I also rooted for the Seahawks when Malcolm Butler picked off Russell Wilson at the one yard line. And I even rooted for Tampa Bay when they played the Chiefs in the COVID Super Bowl. Most people don't want to root for the favorite, and I believe that is the main reason why so many people are rooting for the Eagles this weekend.

I Guess I Should Do a Super Bowl Preview

Well, we have a pretty dull Super Bowl match up, in my opinion. This is a rematch too. The Eagles easily dismissed the Commanders and the Chiefs found a way to defeat the Bills once again. The NFC title game was such a blowout that I fell asleep watching it. That game actually pushed my run back a few hours because I was so bored that I was dozing. The Chiefs got some help from the refs and the Bills acted like themselves in the end to find a way to blow a possible win and trip to the Super Bowl. I will say, the Chiefs played well too. They did get help from the refs, but they also earned the win.

So, if I were to sit here today and write a preview, I don't really know what to do. These are the two best teams in the NFL. The Lions got beat earlier than they should have, the Bills blew it and the Ravens also blew it. The Eagles won with stifling defense and an exceptional run game. The Chiefs did it with their defense, and Mahomes deciding he was going to become mobile again. I think the Eagles and Chiefs match up pretty well against one another. The Chiefs defense is the best part of their team, but the Eagles have an elite run game. The Eagles also have two very solid corners, but they are both rookies. The Chiefs have names, guys like Travis Kelce and Deandre Hopkins, but they aren't the players they once were. The Eagles front seven on defense is pretty damn good too. But, so do the Chiefs. The coaching here goes to KC, but the Eagles have found a way to win despite some early season locker room issues. And the Chiefs are coming off two straight Super Bowl wins. They have the experience. One of those wins came against Philly, but the Eagles have changed their team since then.

If I were to go through certain aspects of the game, I come out with no real advantage that stands out. The Chiefs have Mahomes. He is a proven winner. Jalen Hurts is very good and can do some special things, but he is not Mahomes. The Eagles run game is far superior. Saquon Barkley is a legit MVP candidate, he put up over 2,000 yards this season and is a threat whenever he has the ball in his hands. The Chiefs have a running back by committee, which is fine, but it is not Barkley. The Eagles have better receivers. AJ Brown and Devonta Smith are much more reliable than Hopkins or Smith Schuster. The Eagles do have a way better tight end. Kelce is one of the better tight ends in the NFL. The Eagles o-line is better, but the Chiefs o-line gets away with way more than any other line in the league. The d-lines kind of cancel each other out. I could say the same about the linebackers. But, the Eagles secondary is more youthful, and dare I say, better. Trent McDuffie is really, really good, but Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell already look better. So, when I really break it down and think about it, the Eagles have the better team in my opinion. They have a better run game, a better overall unit on defense and an elite o-line. But, the Chiefs have Mahomes and Kelce and Andy Reid. They also have the refs and a good portion of the country on their side. A lot of people want to see this 3-peat. The Chiefs are this generations Patriots. They get the calls when they needs the calls. They make the plays when they need to make the plays. And they have prior experience being on this stage and winning it all.

With that being said, I think the Chiefs are going to win. I am going to watch because I watch every Super Bowl, but this year may be more about the commercials and food for me. Oh well, it is what it is.

The Future is Now for the Washington Commanders

I come here today to heap some praise on the Washington Commanders.

I was a bit skeptical of their regular season. I felt like I've seen this story before. A team comes from out of nowhere to make a deeper playoff run that most thought. Hell, I didn't even think they'd be in the playoffs. I was certain they'd have another high pick in this upcoming draft. I liked Jayden Daniels coming into the draft, and when they stole Mike Sainristil, my preseason pick for defensive rookie of the year by the way, I was stoked. But still, they looked like a team starting their year or two rebuild in the right direction. I was wrong. So was almost everyone else.

The Commanders are here, and they look here to stay. Daniels is legit. He is a younger Lamar Jackson. Jackson is still young, but Daniels is younger. Jackson is also currently better, he is my favorite QB to watch in the league right now, but Daniels looks to be on his way. He has a poise and calmness you don't see in any rookies. No matter the score, with his arm and legs, he can keep his team in any game. The Lions have a better roster, but Daniels figured something out and went to the well over and over and over again. And it worked because he is hyper talented. He plays the game with joy, he seems to love doing what he's doing and I cannot wait to see him do this for the next decade plus.

Sainristil, for those that don't know, is also legit. He was a receiver his first couple of years at Michigan. He made the switch to nickel corner and it benefitted him and the team. They won a title last year, and a lot of the defensive success they enjoyed was due to his play. He made this change and it worked out for everyone. It worked out better than anyone else could have ever imagined. He parlayed that into being a high second round pick and day one starter. He has made gradual progression all season long and it culminated in his best game as a pro. He had two interceptions and five tackles. He made big plays in the state of Michigan once again. I was torn because I have a ton of family members that are diehard Lions fans, but I loved seeing the things Sainristil was doing on the field. He is only going to get better and it looks like the Commanders have their two main building blocks on offense and defense for a good long while. Sure, they're are ten other players who are important playing with both of them, but these two are the standouts, and they're rookies. This kind of success this early on is amazing. It's also unheard of. I don't want any bad injury or anything to derail their growth. And they both seem to have good heads on their shoulders, so that is not that big of a worry to me.

Watching them both play this weekend was pretty glorious. I like when I don't have a rooting interest because I can focus on certain players that I may not have watched much during the regular season. The Bills and Eagles impressed me with how they won their games, but the Commanders were the highlight for me. I didn't expect this from them, but I'm not mad that this is where they're at right now. I'm not sure how they'll play this weekend facing the Eagles in the NFC title game. But, I'm done betting against them at this point. They've done more than enough to prove they belong and that they will be perennial players moving forward. And I give a good portion of that credit to Daniels and Sainristil. They're so much fun to watch and I will be rooting hard for them this weekend. What a story.

The Patriots Were Wrong to Let Jerod Mayo Go

The Patriots relieved Jerod Mayo after one season as the head coach. Let’s discuss.

This is a bad, bad look for this franchise. I don't know anyone, including super fans and even members of the team that thought the Patriots would be a playoff threat this season. This had rebuild written all over it. The rebuild kind of started in Bill Belicheck's final season. They were worse that year than they were this year. They seem to like the QB they drafted in Drake Maye, but this was going to take time and I don't think Mayo got a fair shot. I was kind of stunned when I saw the headline after it was announced. I remember saying to RD that they need to give him time, that this was going to be a process. I believe I said that to him on a podcast record. But, for some inexplicable reason, the Patriots now find themselves in search of a new head coach.

I don't really know what Mayo did wrong either. They came out in week one and beat the Bengals in Cincy. That's a pretty big deal if you ask me. We all saw how both teams finished, but that was a big win. The Patriots also seemed to like playing for Mayo. The defense was better than it had any right to be. They have some pieces there and it seemed to click with Mayo running the show. The offense was bad, but again, it was a bunch of young dudes seeing massive amounts of playing time. It didn't take Maye too long before he supplanted Jacoby Brissett. Rhamondre Stevenson has issues with fumbling, but he is also an okay enough running back. Maybe he shouldn't be a starter though. The receivers are not good. They've tried to take chances, but nothing has worked out yet. How this collection of players managed to scrape together four wins is amazing to me, and I give a ton of that credit to Mayo for having them prepared to play. It has to be demoralizing stepping onto a pro football field knowing that almost every other team has better talent than the Patriots do. But Mayo and his staff, at the very least, had them ready to go out there and put up a fight. They're also going to be drafting high in the upcoming draft, one full of talent, and that should have been exactly what the fans and front office of the Patriots expected. Hell, I'd say they should have been ecstatic at the fact that they have a top five pick.

When I pull back and look at it, Mayo did the best he could with what he inherited, and he had this team going in the right direction. They have a QB they like. They have a defense that seemed capable at times. They were going to get a very, very good college football player to come in and hopefully help right away. The o line wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. A rebuild takes time and the Patriots were just getting started. Mayo deserved much more of a shot. Hell, he definitely deserved more than one season. And to see Robert Kraft say that he felt the team "regressed" under Mayo is nonsense. Kraft gave him nothing and expected the world out of him at his first try as a head coach.

I hope Jerod Mayo catches on elsewhere and gets a real shot again as an NFL head coach. This may end up being the best for him. But, it does feel like a slap in the face to a guy that played and coached there and was finally getting his first chance to run a team. People expect too much too quick, especially in the sports world. Jerrod Mayo deserved way more time.

Ty Predicts the NFL Playoffs

The NFL playoffs are set and I'm here today with my playoff predictions and Super Bowl winner. I'll also pick the MVP of the Super Bowl. The one seeds are the Chiefs and Lions, which is not really much of a surprise. There are some teams returning that seemed like they were going to be shooting for a high draft pick as opposed to being back in the playoffs. And for teams like the Bengals, sorry RD, they were too little too late.

I'm going to start with the AFC.

The Chiefs have the bye. The 2-7 matchup features the Bills facing the Broncos. The Broncos are a nice story. Bo Nix has been better than I thought, Sean Payton can coach and the defense is pretty damn good. All that is great, but the Bills are going to roll them. Josh Allen is playing at an MVP level. Their run game has been solid. The defense is as advertised. I also think this Bills team is different. They're playing with a chip on their shoulder. The Bills win big. The 3-6 game has the Ravens and Steelers. The Ravens are surging while the Steelers are tumbling. The Steelers offense is worse than before and the defense is tired. The Ravens are putting up big numbers from Lamar Jackson, once again staking his claim at another MVP, and Derrick Henry has been as good as we all thought he would be when he signed there. The defense had some bumps along the way, but they seem to have righted the ship. The Ravens also get this game and home, and while it may look close for a half, the Ravens should win rather easily. The 4-5 game is intriguing, with the Chargers playing the Texans. I had high hopes for the Texans this season, but they have looked stuck in the mud. The offense isn't as electric and the defense is middling. The Chargers are playing with house money and have been on a tear as of late. Jim Harbaugh is also coming off a NCAA football title where Michigan won that game in Houston. I'm going with the Chargers here. They're playing looser and look to be having way more fun.

So, the second round will have matchups of the Chargers facing the Chiefs and the Bills facing the Ravens. The Chiefs are going to find a way to beat the Chargers. That's what they've done all year. Some miracle incident will occur and they will end up in the AFC title game. The Ravens and Bills game should be epic. This is between the two legit MVP candidates. Both teams play similar styles. Both defenses are gelling at the right time. The coaches seem in the groove. I'm going to give the slight edge to the Bills simply due to home field advantage. It's going to be frigid and the Ravens have a tendency of playing poorly when that happens.

That puts the Bills and Chiefs in the AFC title. This year though, I'm going with the Bills. The Chiefs luck is going to end soon, and this version of the Bills seems more than prepared to take over. I don't care  that the game is in KC, I don't care about postseason records between these two teams, the Bills are the better team and they will show that. The Bills will be the AFC's Super Bowl representative.

On to the NFC.

The Lions cruised against the Vikings last night to secure the 1 seed. The 2-7 game features the Eagles and Packers. I'd love for the Packers to win this game. It would be rad to see Jordan Love go into Philly and steal one. But, Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts have been better than advertised. Jaire Alexander is done for the year, so Hurts can beat them through the air. Love's best wideout, Christian Watson, tore his ACL yesterday. I'm all in on this Packers team, just not this year. The Eagles will most likely cruise into round 2. The 3-6 game has the Buccaneers playing the Commanders. I can't really get a feel for this game. The Bucs offense is okay, but inconsistent. The Commanders have a great rookie QB and a solid defense. The coaches are both capable. The game is in Tampa Bay, but I don't think that really matters much. I'm going to go with the Commanders simply based on how great Jayden Daniels has been all year. The kid has shown everyone what he is capable of and I think he continues to do that in this game. The 4-5 game has the Rams playing the Vikings. Give me the Rams all day. I have been really amazed at what the Vikings have done this year, but last night's game was telling. The lights were bright and they no showed. The Rams have veteran leaders and a Super Bowl winning coach. The moment won't be too big for them. I fear it might be for the Vikings though.

In round two we have the Lions playing the Rams and the Eagles facing the Commanders. The Lions are going to lay waste to the Rams. A home playoff game for a franchise that has been this stuck in the mud is going to be electric. The Lions proved they belonged last year, and this year I think they're out for blood. They should show no mercy, and I expect that from them. The Lions roll the Rams. I also feel like the Eagles-Commanders game will be similar. This time the Commanders will be shell shocked. I could see both Barkley and Hurts running for 100 yards. I also think the Eagles defense will shut down Daniels. The second round in the NFC won't be near as much fun as the AFC.

That leaves me with the Lions and Eagles in the NFC title game. This should be epic. I love this matchup. Playing in a dome makes it more likely that it will be a barn burner of a game. This could have a final of 38-35, and I see the Lions coming out on top. They're on a mission this season and they're going to play like it.

That means my Super Bowl is between the Bills and Lions. What a game huh? Are there two fan bases that deserve this more than them? Some fans are going to be thrilled while others will have to still wait on a title. As for which franchise I think will be happy, I'm going with the Bills. This is where the injuries will hurt the Lions. If they were fully healthy maybe I'd think differently. But, they aren't and that means I'm going with the Bills. They have something to prove and I think they finally rise above and do it this season. Josh Allen will also be the go away Super Bowl MVP. I can see him doing something incredible late in the fourth quarter to clinch the win. 

Can’t wait for these playoffs.

Bo Nix and the Vikings are the Surprises of the NFL Season

Today I have come to eat crow on two NFL things I wrote in my preseason preview from earlier in 2024. Let’s go.

The first comes from my 2024 draft preview. In lieu of doing picks one by one, I always talk about five prospects I like and five I think have the most bust probability. In my five busts part, I was pretty certain that Bo Nix was going to flame out and flame out fast. I even doubled down on it when the Broncos named him the starter for the season and released Russell Wilson. Nix has proven me very, very wrong. He is a more than capable starting QB in the NFL. He is not going to be the ROY or the MVP, not by a long shot. But Nix has proven himself to be far more than just a game manager. The Broncos may not have won their game the other night, but it wasn't due to Nix playing poorly. He kept them in the game from start to finish. He made play after play. He went toe to toe with Joe Burrow. And I understand that the Bengals defense is porous, but Nix has done this all year. He led a drive that should have led to a game winning field goal earlier this season against the Chiefs. He has won games from the start for the Broncos. He has done everything he has been asked to do by his staff, and the Broncos, while not a Super Bowl caliber team yet, seems to have found their starting QB for the next five to ten years depending on health. I thought he was going to look like most rookie QB's who are thrust into a starting role, but he has looked confident and capable. I'll be interested to see if this trend continues over the next few years, but I'd be shocked if he didn't improve over the seasons and become a pro bowl level NFL starting QB. I was wrong about him.

The other thing, and I was very aligned with a ton of people on this one, I thought the Vikings were going to be one of the worst teams in the NFL this year, and I thought they had the makings of one of the worst teams in NFL history. I looked at their offseason, who they got rid of, who they traded up to draft and who they signed to be their veteran QB and it all screamed two or three wins, at most to me. I was also not a firm believer in Kevin O'Connell as a NFL head coach. I told RD as much via text and conversations while recording the podcast. He is a Vikings fan, I'm a Packers fan, and I think maybe he even thought that the Vikings were going to be awful too. I was even more certain when they traded up to nine to draft Michigan QB JJ McCarthy. I adore that kid. He helped Michigan win the title last year. But, Michigan was all about their top tier defense and their excellent run game. McCarthy could make plays here and there, but that team won as a team, not because of their QB. But, when the NFL season started, not only were the Vikings winning, they were beating the snot out of their opponents. I figured it was just an early season surprise and they would come crashing back down to Earth soon. But that never happened. The Vikings are still killing it. They're playing for the number one seed in the NFC this Sunday. Sam Darnold has been great. He will be getting paid this offseason. Aaron Jones has been mostly healthy and playing well. Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson are amazing, and Jefferson may be the best wideout in the NFL. But it is their defense that has been the big surprise and main reason why they've been able to sustain their high level of play. Brian Flores has done a masterful job with a defense that doesn't have any real stars. He has gotten the best out of that unit and he is more than deserving of a shot at being a head coach again. I'm astonished at how well they have played all season, and I am going to give most of that credit to Flores for putting them in the best position possible. As for O'Connell, he has earned my respect, not that he really cares. He has what it takes to be a NFL head coach, and what he has done with Sam Darnold is more proof that he is a "QB whisperer". The Vikings, as stated a few sentences ago, have a shot at the 1 seed. I assumed they'd be more likely to pick first overall in the upcoming draft. And as much as it stings to say this being a Packers fan, the Vikings are legit and they terrify me heading to the playoffs. They're a damn good football team with an excellent defense. 

That’is it. Now time to cook up some crow.

Ty's 2024 College Football Playoff Preview

The College Football Playoff starts tomorrow night and I cannot wait. Even without Michigan playing in the CFP this year, I'll still be tuning in. I will watch Michigan's bowl game, as always. But, with the new format, I'm pretty stoked to see how it all plays out. I love that the first round is being played in college stadiums, I love that the games are on in primetime and I cannot wait to watch it all unfold. With all that, I'm going to do a preview and prediction. The games will be here before we know it, so on with it.

The first playoff game is tomorrow night, with Indiana traveling to South Bend to face Notre Dame. I have seen Indiana play this year, and while a deserving playoff team, I don't think they have much of a chance tomorrow night. Their offense has stalled as of late. I know they scored 66 points in their rivalry game, but Purdue is not a very good football team right now. Indiana's two previous games, Michigan and the university of Ohio State, weren't so great. The university of Ohio State ran roughshod over them, and Michigan, who was not very good this year, had a shot to win that game in Bloomington. Notre Dame has a very stout defense, a great running game and a passing attack capable of taking advantage of a weak Indiana secondary. I'll be rooting for the Big 10 here, but Notre Dame is the better team and they have home field advantage.

The first game to kickoff Saturday morning features SMU traveling to Penn State. Penn State should win this game and win it relatively easily. They have a better defense, better run game and a QB that rarely makes mistakes. SMU can run the ball okay, but I don't trust much more from them, especially after watching them in the ACC title game. But, we have the whole James Franklin of it all here. He is a poor big game coach. It doesn't matter if he has home field advantage, if he has the refs and media on his side or if he even has the better roster. He seems to flub this stuff way more often than not. But, I'm going to go with Penn State in a low scoring, ugly game. What SMU did in the ACC title game has been hard for me to shake.

The 3pm central game has Clemson facing Texas. Texas is going to win and going to win convincingly in my opinion. Clemson is not the Clemson of old. They barely made the playoff. Their QB is wildly inefficient. The defense isn't as feared as they used to be. Texas, on the other hand, has an elite defense. Their run game is effective. And the duo of Quin Ewers and Arch Manning is going to give defenses tons of headaches in these playoffs. Texas should win this one going away, and I fully expect that. I wouldn't be surprised if they win by three or more scores.

The final first round playoff game is the best first round game. Tennessee faces off with the university of Ohio State. In years past this would've been an easy university of Ohio State pick for me. They have the best roster money can buy. They have weapons all over the field. They have one of the top defenses in the country. They have a highly effective run game. What worries me, their QB and coaching staff. Tennessee is kind of playing with house money here. Their defense is also legit, except on the outside. Their offense isn't as elite as in the past, and that is what worries me most with this team. This game is going to be a slug fest. And, as much as I'd love to see Tennessee win and plant their flag at the 50 yard line, I have this weird feeling that the university of Ohio State is going to get a break and win this on a last minute field goal.

The second round games, the elite 8 if you will, have Texas facing Arizona State, Penn State playing Boise State, Notre Dame facing Georgia and the university of Ohio State playing Oregon. Again, Texas got a great draw and they are going to walk over Arizona State. ASU is a nice story and it's rad that they made this big of a leap in year two of Kenny Dillingham's leadership. Their running back is also damn good. But Texas is so much better in every facet except running back. And Texas has a deep group of backs they can rotate. ASU may keep it close for a half, but then Texas should have an easy path to the final four.

I am going with Boise State, in a minor upset, to beat Penn State. Boise State has one of the greatest college running backs ever. Ashton Jeanty is a force of nature and I love watching him play. He's fierce and fast. He is not afraid of anyone. He will run you over and run by you. The rest of the offense is capable and the defense is fine. This is where James Franklin will find some way to blow it and all the PSU fans will be in agony once again. I really like this Boise State team.

Notre Dame-Georgia is going to be a fun game. If Carson Beck were healthy, I'd pick Georgia. But, Georgia's defense hasn't been nearly as dominant as in the past. The run game is hit or miss. The passing game, especially with Gunner Stockton running the show, is going to be nearly nonexistent. This all plays into Notre Dame's favor. They can slow this game down, make it a slugfest and they have the much better defense. I'm going with Notre Dame beating my preseason pick to win it all.

Finally, for the second round, we have the university of Ohio State facing Oregon. Oregon won this game once this season, by one, but that was earlier in the year. This version of Oregon is better and hungrier. They seem angrier too. They easily handled PSU in the Big Ten title game, and they don't want the accolades to stop there. This offense is one of the better balanced offenses in the country. They're fast everywhere. The defense is as good as Oregon has ever had. I just don't see a world where Oregon doesn't win this game.

That leaves me with a final four of Oregon, Notre Dame, Boise State and Texas. I think Notre Dame is going to beat Boise State. I think this is where the Cinderella run ends for BSU and Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty will have a good game, but Notre Dame can match their energy and I think they have an advantage with their defense.

The real title game for me is Oregon and Texas. These are, in my opinion, the two best teams in college football by a quarter mile. This game will be fast, exciting and an absolute feast for college football fans, In the end, in a minor shootout, I have Oregon winning this game and going to the championship.

This game, featuring Notre Dame and Oregon, will be a coronation for Oregon. It has all led to this for them, and I don't think they'll let their fans down this year. Oregon has all the tools they need to win it all, and I think they do just that this January.

Vick as a College Coach Makes Sense

I read earlier in the week that some smaller schools were looking at Mike Vick as a candidate at head coach for them. I didn't know he was actively looking and interviewing for a job, but I like it. Let’s discuss.

I have been a lifelong Mike Vick fan. From his time at Virginia Tech to his stops in the NFL, most memorably with the Falcons, I always enjoyed watching him play football. He reminded me so much of Randall Cunningham, who I also was a big fan of. But, he had a better arm and was so much faster than Cunningham ever was when he was in the NFL. Mike Vick didn't disappoint either. He was as good as advertised. He went to the title game with VT, and almost single handedly won it for them. He was the first pick and was awesome from the start. He made the Falcons fun to watch. He made them a playoff team. When he came back from his suspension, he was a star again with the Eagles. That Monday night game, you know what I'm talking about, was a sight to behold. He then ventured off to the Jets to be a backup and finished up his career as a backup once again with the Steelers. There is the prison sentence for his involvement in a dog fighting ring that slowed his career down significantly. What Vick did was wrong, but for him to be locked up was wild. There are things going on with current players that are much, much worse and they barely even get suspended from playing any games. They get to live their lives freely after doing some heinous things. Vick went to jail. He was a prisoner. He served time. He is well past the point of being a "bad guy" anymore. He did what he did, was punished for it and he came back to play at the highest level, and play very well. Now, he is going to be the head coach at Norfolk State.

I don't know much about Norfolk State. I know the university is in Virginia, Vick's home state. I know they're a lower level division 1-AA school. They haven't made a ton of noise lately, but I feel like that's going to change here very soon. I knew of Jackson State prior to Deion Sanders taking the job there. My knowledge of Jackson State while Deion was there and now is much greater because I wanted to know about where he was coaching. I get very similar vibes with Vick at Norfolk State. Kids with parents around my age or even a little younger are going to want their kids to play for Mike Vick. I would absolutely love for my kid to be recruited by him. I'd love to meet him as the parent. I think it would be a true highlight. Just based off that one fact, Norfolk State is going to improve. The school will put money behind him to help with the NIL collective. Vick is going to get kids in the door on name recognition alone. He and his staff will have to develop that talent. and I'm sure they'll be able to do that with no problem at all. Vick knows this game. He has learned from some of the game's smartest pro coaches. He was an electric athlete, and sometimes that works when transitioning to coaching. I have full faith that Vick will do just fine.

Hearing this news today made me so very happy for him. I want more guys like Vick coaching college football. These are the dudes I watched and I want to see them succeed and thrive. I will be more focused on Norfolk State moving forward from here on out. I love this hire and I cannot wait to see what Vick does now that he's a head coach.

Thoughts on Bill Belichick Going to UNC

I was on vacation with my wife last week and my son texted me something that truly shocked me. I was hanging out by a pool and I audibly gasped when I read what he sent. I also didn't fully believe him at first. The text read, "Bill Belichick just signed to be the next head coach for UNC!".

I was floored. I had to check some reputable sites, nothing against my kid, but he's 12, he has said lots of stuff that wasn't true. But he was correct. Bill Belichick is returning to coach football, and he isn't doing it in the NFL or at a big time power 5 school. He is going to coach UNC, who was like 6-6 or 7-5 this season. They gave up 70 plus points to James Madison. The entire staff is going to be new. I'm sure a good portion of the kids will transfer. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a season not too dissimilar to this past Michigan season.

I don't know how Bill Belichick is going to deal with or like coaching college football. I don't know that he has coached in college before. I only remember him as an NFL head coach, and a quite successful one at that. Bill Belichick knows football. There's no denying that fact. He has won multiple Super Bowls. He has helped to guide stifling defenses. He knows how to use what he has in the best possible way. He knows when to cut the fat and he doesn't let feelings get involved. He knows this sport inside and out. But college is a whole other animal. I mean, recruiting is a year round thing. Bill Belichick is going to have to go into an 18 year olds living room and sell this kid on UNC football. That is tough for anyone.

Also, Belichick is 72 years old. I mean, I cannot imagine traveling all over the country trying to sell your program is fun for anyone. College football coaches are getting younger too. I had a conversation with my son recently about that very topic. Jim Harbaugh left because he wanted to coach in the NFL. He was also sick and tired of dealing with the NCAA and all their nonsense. Nick Saban left Alabama last year and made a statement along the lines of he disliked how much the college game had changed. When you look at most college coaches, they seem to be not much older than 50. University of Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz is 41. Florida coach Billy Napier is 44. Tennessee coach Josh Heupel is 46. Georgia coach Kirby Smart is 48. Ryan Day is 45. PJ Fleck is 44. Lincoln Riley is 41. Sherrone Moore is 39. Dan Lanning is 38. In the ACC Cal coach Justin Wilcox is 48. Dabo Swinney is 58. Manny Diaz is 50. Mario Cristobal is 54. And Fran Brown is 42. Bill Belichick is nearly 30 years older than some of these guys. Hell, he is getting close to being 40 years older than some of these guys. College football, as far as recruiting and dealing with the NIL, is becoming a young guys game.

I feel like Belichick, with all of his knowledge, is going to find that coaching college football is way tougher than he thinks. And, as I said above, he is coaching at UNC. UNC is a basketball school through and through. It always has been, probably always will be. They have had some seasons that are solid, but they haven't been a CFP contender yet. They have a ton of preseason hype usually, but that doesn't seem to translate on the field. Belichek is also very old school. He's going to assume that he is the man in charge and the leader. That may have been the case in the 80's and 90's, but not anymore. As it should be, player empowerment is a real and viable thing. These kids know their worth and they aren't shy about letting everyone know. Kids aren't going to go play for Bill Belichick just because he is Bill Belichick. They are going to want playing time and solid NIL deals. They are going to want tv coverage. They are going to want awards. The coach is just a dude now. They teach the game and help mold these kids into pros in some cases. But, the coach doesn't have the power that they used to. Again, not many people know more about football than Bill Belichick. He has a wealth of knowledge. Teaching the game to his players won't be the issue. I think he will find it much more difficult to recruit and have to be on 365 days a year.

Time will tell, but this is a weird move from him. We will see how it turns out.

Thoughts on Who Should, and Will, Win the Heisman Trophy

The Heisman trophy will be awarded to the winner next week. There seem to be about four or five dudes up for consideration. If you want the names, Travis Hunter, Ashton Jeanty, Cam Ward and Dillon Gabriel are the four I'd invite to New York. But, in all reality this is down to two dudes.

The Heisman will be given to either Jeanty or Hunter. My son has pleaded his case for Cam Ward, who has had a great season. But, I just don't see it. He hasn't been as good as Hunter or Jeanty. Dillon Gabriel, my preseason pick for the award, has also been good. But, of the four guys I mentioned for invites, he'd finish fourth overall in my voting. He has been great too, but not out of this world. Hunter and Jeanty are crushing it this season. They're the focal points of two teams that have had a resurgent season.

Ashton Jeanty is the main threat for Boise State, who will, most likely, be in the playoffs this season. Jeanty has also been putting up video game numbers. He has carried the ball 312 times for 2,288 yards and 28 tds. He also has 18 catches for 102 yards and a td. Those numbers are good for 26 carries a game, 190 rushing yards a game and over 2 rushing tds a game. That is insane. He is cruising his way through the Mountain West Conference. In BSU's lone defeat this season, against number 1 Oregon, Jeanty went for 192 rush yards and 3 tds. That is pretty amazing against a solid defense. He has gone over 200 yards rushing four times this season, all wins. He ran for six tds in their opening win over Georgia Southern. The only game he didn't score in, a big time win over Portland State, he only played one half, where he carried the ball 11 times for 127 times. That's an average of 11.2 per carry. A first down per each carry. That is wild. Jeanty has all the stats, the playoff appearance and a good portion of the media behind him right now, and I wouldn't be upset at all if he won.

Travis Hunter is doing things that seem impossible in modern college football. He is the Shohei Ohtani of college football. Travis Hunter starts on both sides of the ball. And it isn't like some cutesy offensive packages, he is one of Colorado's top receiving options. He is a legit number 1 or number 2 option for their offense. He is also, quite possibly, the best corner in all of college football. He is lockdown. We don't hear his name too much and that is the biggest compliment you can give a corner. That means he is covering his guy so well that the opposing QB will not throw his way. And when they do, he seems to make incredible interceptions. On the season Hunter, as a wideout, has 92 catches for 1,152 receiving yards and 14 tds. That's good for 7 catches a game, 96 receiving yards and game and just over 1 receiving td a game. That is top notch for any power 5 wideout. He also has 31 tackles, 4 interceptions and 1 forced fumble as a corner. Again, that would be great stats for a guy that just plays defense. Hunter averages 114 plays per game. That is the amount of plays in most college football games. That means he never comes off the field. Hunter is always there and he is always producing. He is putting up crazy good numbers on both sides of the ball. Those stats, had he been a one way player, wouldn't be good enough for Heisman consideration, but he would be up for other postseason awards. The fact that he is doing this, in high level division 1 college football, is unheard of.

Hunter is going to be the first overall pick in next season's NFL draft. He may damn well play both sides of the ball in the NFL too. I also believe he should, and will, win the Heisman next weekend. Travis Hunter is an amazing football player, playing both sides of the ball, and he has done more than enough to win the Heisman. Hunter is my pick.

The Greatest The Game

Let’s talk about last Saturday’s Michigan Ohio State game.

After I got home from my race Saturday afternoon, and my dad arrived at my house, we settled in and watched the recording of the university of Ohio State and Michigan football game. Neither of us knew the outcome, nor the score at the time, so we went in totally fresh. What my dad and I watched unfold was pretty epic and inconceivable to the both of us.

This has been an incredibly frustrating year to be a Michigan football fan. I know, they were coming off an undefeated season that ended in a national title win. It was great. This year was a year of newness and head scratching. They had no QB. Their best defender missed most of the season. The o-line was not playing to their wild expectations. The receivers couldn't get separation. Donovan Edwards was replaced by Kalel Mullings. The defense had some questionable play calling. It was a mess and a work in progress. When I saw them play live over a month ago, it looked as bad in person as it did on the tv. After that Illinois-Michigan game, I thought they may finish 6-6 at best. They played Indiana close, which was nice to see, but they went into their second bye week at 5-5. I didn't know if they'd win another game. They went into the Northwestern game and demolished them. It was such a nice surprise to see them go out and dominate a team like they're supposed to. They ran up and down the field. The QB play was sufficient. The defense was suffocating. It was a sight for sore eyes.

Going into the university of Ohio State game, I had zero expectations. The university of Ohio State, on paper, is a much better team. They played Oregon close, in Eugene, and that same Oregon squad crushed Michigan in Ann Arbor. They throttled Indiana. They kind of, outside of Oregon, made lightwork of every team that was on their schedule. Michigan, on the other hand, really struggled all season long, until the Northwestern game. Fresno State stayed with them all game. They gave up 15 fourth quarter points to Arkansas State. Texas smacked them. So did Illinois and, as previously mentioned, Oregon. Michigan looked like a team that wasn't really prepared to play all year. But, I have to bring it up again, the Northwestern game showed me something different. They did what they wanted to do when they wanted to do it and they looked good while doing it. But I still expected them to get walloped on Saturday. The university of Ohio State was supposed to unleash three years of frustration and prove that Michigan wasn't going to be able to push them around anymore. Ryan Day said, in 2019, that he was "going to hang 100 on them", and I kind of expected that type of game on Saturday.

That didn't happen at all. Michigan was able to run on this supposed vaunted defense. Kalel Mullings fully took control of Michigan's ground game after Donovan Edwards got hurt. Davis Warren, well, he looked like a walk on. He had a bad, bad game. But that didn't matter. If the offense went three and out, the defense held firm. The Michigan defense was lights out on Saturday. They played their best game of the season and looked pretty damn good doing it. Early on in the game, with Michigan down 3-0, the university of Ohio State decided to throw on third and long from their endzone. Aamir Hall read it beautifully and picked the pass off with ease, setting up Michigan's first TD and lead of the game. The defense continued to dominate, but the university of Ohio State's play calling was bizarre. They kept trying to run the ball up the gut, playing right into Michigan's strength on defense. They have been great against the run all year. But, as I said to my dad at one point of the game, it felt like the university of Ohio State offensive plan was to prove how "tough" they could be. It didn't work, but they kept trying it. Over and over again they would run it two, sometimes three times during a drive, only to have to punt or try a field goal. And the field goal kicker missed two gimmes, which was brutal for that guy. But the sheer fact that they kept trying to run the ball, to no avail, was astonishing. The passing game was working like gangbusters, but they didn't stick with it and that helped Michigan. The hubris of the university of Ohio State, to continue to try and prove their "toughness" was the absolute wrong way to go about this game. Late in the fourth, tied at 10, the university of Ohio State had to give up the ball after yet another three and out and Michigan held onto the damn thing for the majority of the quarter. They drove it down inside the 5, after a brilliant Mullings run on third and 6. They made the university of Ohio State use all its timeouts, and with about 45 seconds left, Michigan kicker Dominic Zvada kicked a 20 yarder to take the lead. The university of Ohio State got the ball back with about 30 seconds left, and proceeded to call four pass plays that gained them a total of one yard. When the fourth and 9 pass fell to the turf, and it was known that Michigan was going to win for a fourth year in a row,

I gave out a guttural yell. I couldn't believe that this Michigan team, this 6-5 team with no real QB, two of their best players out, a coaching staff still figuring it all out and their best secondary player not covering superstar wideouts was able to pull off this upset, it was incredible. I loved all the congratulatory texts I was getting. I loved reading about the game online afterward. I loved seeing those crybabies show more fight after the game, when Michigan was planting their flag, trying to fight the players planting the flag. That shows how classless those players and that staff really are. There is no institutional control. Ryan Day is a coward and the biggest crybaby of them all. Their team captain telling Michigan that their "season is over", shows how little sportsmanship they have in Columbus. I want to inject Will Howard's crying speech into my veins. This dude has been popping off at the mouth all season, and being a Michigan fanatic, seeing him crying on national tv was glorious.

I cannot stop reading about this game. I want more and more and more of this. There's no more excuses. The university of Ohio State cannot blame signs, the flu, the cold, the Michigan staff, Jim Harbaugh, the Big 10 or the NCAA. This is all on them. They have to bear the brunt of the last four seasons. Michigan has clearly broken that team and that staff. The university of Ohio State will be in the playoff and they could make a run. But, this 7-5 Michigan team went into Columbus, as a 20 point underdog, with almost every media talking head picking against them, and won. Michigan won The Game for the fourth year in a row and this one feels better than some of the past four seasons. This wasn't supposed to happen, but Michigan did it. I'm going to soak in this for a good long time. Always and forever, Go Blue.

Mack Brown is an Old School Coach Who was Not a Fit for the Reality of College Football

Mack Brown was let go by North Carolina today. I'm not that surprised.

Mack Brown has had big preseason expectations in his return to head coaching, but UNC has not been able to live up to the hype. I feel like they, starting in his second season, were always a preseason darling, then they'd inevitably go 7-5 or 8-4. They were never a real threat in the ACC. They were surpassed by Clemson and Miami. Even Duke became more of a threat during his second tenure in Chapel Hill. He's had some solid recruits come in, most recently Drake Maye, but even they couldn't get the Tar Heels over the top. I don't think Maye was the starting QB of a team that won more than eight games.

I have to believe that the tipping point this season was when the Tar Heels gave up 70 plus points in a home game to James Madison. This is no slight to James Madison, who is a very solid division one football team, but that's a game that UNC should win, and win pretty handily. They did score 50 plus points themselves, but a lot of those points came when the game was already well out of hand. They have rebounded enough from that to be a 6-5 team, and they have a good shot to finish 7-5, ending the season against a shorthanded NC State. But, UNC has already let him go, he will coach the final regular season game, but he will not be there for the bowl game. UNC will begin searching for a head coach immediately.

All of this made me look back at Mack Brown, and I have been trying to figure out what went wrong. Brown was a very good coach back in his heyday. He was at UNC before, and he was good enough there to get the head coaching job at Texas. He had great success at Texas. He won a title. His teams competed for the Big 12 title pretty much every season he was there. He coached Vince Young, who may be the greatest college QB of all time. He coached Ricky Williams, who may be the greatest college running back of all time. This was all during the BCS era and pre NIL. This was a time where the coach of a college football team was the king. No one was above them. They called the shots and everyone did what the head coach of a major college football team asked. This new era of college football may have been too much for him. Mack Brown is an older dude, and maybe his old school mentality just doesn't fit in the modern game. When he would go to the podium for post game interviews now he would look tired and frustrated. He didn't have the easy answer like he did in the early 2000's. He would try to fit in and dance in the locker room with his players after any big win and it looked uncomfortable and awkward. He would try and sound cool and hip and it came off as phony. He didn't command the respect in a recruits home like he used to. A lot of these kids don't know much about his old Texas football teams. The game, from my perspective watching him coach these past few years, has passed him by. His defense never got better. He didn't utilize all these great weapons he had. He was not so great with the transfer portal. His teams could score, which they've always been able to, but they didn't do much else that good at all. This is like a passing of the guard in a way. There's not too many older coaches out there right now, and the ones that have stuck around, the lame ass Dabo Swinney's of the world, are getting past everyday by younger, more innovative head coaches.

Mack Brown will always have his championship and the memories of coaching Vince Young and Ricky Williams, but he is a "dinosaur" in the modern college football era and his time is done.

The Inglorious End of the Daniel Jones Era

I saw earlier today that the Daniel Jones era with the New York Giants has officially ended. Let’s discuss.

This seems pretty harsh and fast, but not all that crazy if you look at his short lived career. Jones was never the answer with the Giants. I can remember writing about him before he was drafted. I had him firmly in my bust category. He didn't really have the juice in my opinion. He seemed slow, he wasn't very accurate and I figured the bright lights of NYC were going to be too much for him. It seems like I, along with many other writers, had him pegged perfectly. And don't let some phony stats or one playoff win fool you. He was never the reason why the Giants had any of the minimal success they had while he was the starting QB.

The Giants won during that time because they had a killer defense and Saquon Barkley. Look at how stacked the boxes were when Barkley was drafted by the Giants. The guy was facing seven and eight man boxes and he was still producing. The Giants defense during that time created turnovers and rushed the passer. They did the little things they needed, had a superstar in Barkley and they won in spite of Daniel Jones.

Where the Giants screwed up was giving Jones such an enormous contract after their playoff run a few years back. They picked Jones over the Barkley and the rest is history. Barkley played one more season with the Giants, putting up somewhat decent numbers, and now he is thriving in Philadelphia. That team knows how to use their running backs, they have a legit MVP caliber QB in Jalen Hurts, their defense has taken a step up and Barkley seems to be the missing piece. This couldn't have worked out any better for Saquon Barkley.

Daniel Jones, well, as mentioned up top, he was cut today. Before that he was benched in favor of Tommy Devito. I don't know why Brian Daboll picked Devito over Drew Locke, but he did. Maybe Daboll wants out of NYC as well. But, they picked a flash in the pan who is more noteworthy for what his agent wears than anything he has ever done on the field. That speaks volumes to me. The Giants are going to eat whatever money they owe Jones now, but they don't care, they just want him gone. He was taking 4th string QB reps in practice yesterday and they even deployed him at safety on the Giants scout team defense for this week. I have to imagine when that happened that Jones knew it was only a matter of time before he was gone. I mean the disrespect they showed him is kind of sad but also hilarious to me.

What I don't think I'll get over as a fan of football is picking him over Barkley. Barkley is a generational back. He can run and catch. He is a good return man. He knows what he does best and he excels at that while always trying to get bigger, faster and stronger. Jones looks like a dope on and off the field. He seems like he doesn't really want to play this sport that made him millions of dollars. It is clear that he wasn't the guy for this job from day one. I'll be curious to see where his career takes him from here, but I have to assume he will never be more than a backup until he retires. And Saquon Barkley may be the spark to an Eagles team that could make a deep playoff run this year and seasons after this.

Calm Down (Online) Michigan Fans

Michigan football is struggling. There's no denying it. And there is plenty of blame to go around. Let’s discuss.

The QB situation has been an absolute mess. I guess the coaching staff figured they could work with what they had already on roster. It hasn't worked at all. The o-line, a strength in years past, has been underwhelming. They have had moments, but they have wildly underperformed all season. The receiving corps has been non essential. They don't get many targets and they are not the best blockers. The running backs have been okay, just relied on far too often, and the tight end group has been the lone bright spot on this horrid offense. The defense has been up and down. The secondary is bad. They have performed poorly all season long. Will Johnson is still hurt, Zeke Berry has had glimpses, but for the most part he gets beat far too often, Jayire Hill is hurt and gets beat too much and the safeties are nowhere near the level of the play they've had the past three seasons. The linebacking corps is okay, but very bad in coverage. And the d-line isn't generating pressure hardly at all. I will say the defense is better than people online have given them credit for this season though. They're on the field so much and guys are constantly tired. That would halt any defense in college football. And the new coaching staff is having a hard time with the promotion. Sherrone Moore is struggling. Wink Martindale thinks he's coaching NFL players. Kirk Campbell cannot get out of his own way. The lone star from this new staff, in my opinion, has been Lamar Morgan, and that is mostly due to his excellent recruiting acumen. This season has been a mess.

But, for all of the people that want this staff gone or want immediate changes or think they can do better, I need you all to calm the hell down. What did you really, truly expect? When this season started I thought they could win 9 or 10 games. I thought they could remain in the playoff picture. I figured they'd be solid. They had some guys returning that gave me hope. But, that was the optimistic side of my brain. At best they're going to be 6-6 this year and they are going to get stomped in their regular season finale. It's going to be rough. But again, what did you all expect? I don't get the people online, the keyboard warriors who are going on the internet before, during and after each game and saying how everyone needs to go. How they'd do so much better. That so and so should be playing because they're better. It's nonsense. And you have to give Moore more time. He inherited a team that saw a bunch of players and coaches leave the program for the NFL. They needed to replace almost their entire o-line. They needed a new QB. They needed a new number one, reliable running back. They have a whole new linebacking corps. Their best defensive player in the secondary has only played four full games. Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant are being double and triple teamed constantly.

It needs to be said this coaching staff is pretty much all new. Moore got promoted top head coach. Campbell went from QB coach to offensive coordinator. Ron Bellamy is still the wideout coach, and that's it. The rest of the staff is all new. They have a new strength coach, new linebacker and secondary coach. They have a new special teams coach. They have a new tight ends coach. It's all new. And that means they need time. They have to be able to recruit and develop the talent for their system. They have to be given a fair shot, a real chance at coaching this team. I have always been a believer of giving new coaches three seasons before making a decision on the future of the head coach. Moore has had four chances last season and 10 games so far this year. He is 9-5 as a head coach right now. Yes, there have been blundres and issues. Moore has made some odd decisions late in games this year. I'm still confused as to why he waited so long to call his first timeout last week. But I look at these as lessons. He is figuring all this out in real time. And while it looks bad now, I think he's going to learn from all of this and get better with each new season. There's a reason he was looked at as the predecessor to Harbaugh. Moore was going to be a hot commodity on the coaching market sooner rather than later. I'm stoked that Michigan hired him. He was, and I believe still is, the right man for the job.

Everyone wants instant gratification and if they don't get it, they think they can do better than the people most qualified for the job. I just want people online to give Moore a fair shot. I want them to let him recruit and coach his players to his system. Yes it is bad now, but they can get better from here. These kids love playing for Moore and I think with a little more time, one more full season under his belt, Moore will find his groove. We fans just have to believe in his ability. Give the man a real chance.

The Detroit Lions are a Damn Good Football Team

Yesterday I made sure to get everything done that needed to be done so I could sit down and really watch the Packers-Lions game. This was the big game of the week. These two teams have looked pretty damn good this season. They have both looked like the class of the NFC. It's kind of wild that they're in the same division, along with Minnesota and Chicago, all of which are at or over .500 right now. This is the best division in the NFL by a mile. The game between the Lions and Packers looked like it could be a good one. Add on the fact that it was raining, this had the makings to be solid.

Well, it wasn't. Green Bay looked slow and disorganized. They couldn't get off the field. They couldn't stop anything the Lions were doing. Their offense was inept and not productive. It was a mess. Sure, they made it closer than it should have been at the end, but that was a garbage time TD. And I'm not here for moral victories or to say that they weren't blown out. Green Bay was outplayed and deservingly got beat.

The Lions on the other hand, they look real, real good. They played a wonderful game and proved that they can go anywhere and beat anyone. They kept saying during the broadcast that this was their first game outside a dome. That didn't seem to matter. They looked damn good. They did whatever they wanted. They made everything they were able to do look easy. Jared Goff controlled Green Bay's secondary. He was slicing and dicing them with ease. He seemed to have a receiver open at all times. Where Green Bay receivers were dropping passes left and right, Detroit's wideouts caught everything. Detroit's o-line mashed and smashed Green Bay's d-line all afternoon. They supplied wonderful pass protection. They're the best o-line in the NFL, and they showed that yesterday. David Montgomery ran up and down the field. He would find a hole, cruise through it and pick up 4,5 or 6 yards a pop. Jahmyr Gibbs did the same and added pass catching out of the backfield. He looked so much faster than any defender Green Bay put on him yesterday. Detroit's defense was down two guys, Aidan Hutchinson to season ending surgery and Brian Branch on a very questionable targeting call, and they still dominated. Green Bay's offense has been decent as of late, especially the run game. And while Josh Jacobs got off a big run one time, he was pretty much kept in check, as was the rest of the backfield. The wideouts struggled to hold onto the ball, they couldn't get seperation and Detroit locked them down with relative ease. Detroit still dominated defensively even without their two best players on that side of the ball. What I noticed most yesterday was how good Detroit looks. There wasn't a moment where I thought Green Bay could come back or take control of the game, and they're the team I root for. Detroit looked so much better than Green Bay, and the rest of the NFL for that matter.

Where we stand right now, Detroit is the class of the NFL. They have competition, the Chiefs are undefeated, but in my mind the Lions look like a better team. They can play anyone, anywhere at any time. They have built an incredibly good football team. Everyone knows their roles and plays them exceptionally well. The coaching is second only to Kansas City, and I would take the entire Detroit Lions staff over the Chiefs, minus Andy Reid. Detroit should be considered the favorite to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl right now. And I'd say they're the favorite to win it all this season. They left a damn good impression on me, and they only appear to be getting better.

This is Not Last Year's Michigan Football Team

Last weekend I went to my first Michigan football game since 2019. My dad and I used to go to one game a year, but then COVID hit. We have contemplated going since 2022, but this was the first time that worked when we both felt comfortable enough. We traveled out to Champaign to see them play Illinois.

It was not great. I kind of wished we went in the last three seasons. We could've seen a legit title contending team. What we saw last Saturday was tough. I want to say at the top, I still believe in this staff, I think Michigan will be just fine very soon and they need time to recruit their guys, which they seem to be doing at the moment. I'm still all in. Give Moore and his staff three years. That's all I'm asking as a lifetime fan. But, what we saw this past weekend was bad.

This is not a good football team. I knew it was going to be rough, but I thought it was going to be "rough". As many of you may have read, I predicted Michigan to finish at 11 in the polls and return to the playoff. I thought they could win 10 games. Now, after seeing them play live, I'd be stunned if they won two more games all season. This team has issues all over the field. Everyone wants to say the biggest issue is QB. And that is a big, big problem. The QB play has been atrocious all season. They have three times more interceptions than touchdowns. They've fumbled the ball as many times as they have thrown TDs. They have no confidence in their arms. Michigan has played three different QBs this year and none of them have worked. Davis Warren was too timid. Alex Orji seemingly cannot throw the ball down field. And Jack Tuttle was supposed to be a career backup in college. But the issues go much deeper than just the QB. On offense, the o line has been miserable. They cannot protect the QB like they have in the past and the holes they used to open up with ease, they're not there anymore. This was a unit on the team that was award worthy. This year they have spent more time helping their QB up than pancaking a d lineman. The receivers are small and cannot get seperation. They are often easily covered and when they need a catch, they drop the ball. The tight ends have been okay, but when the only threat from the pass game is the tight end position, it's too easy to stop that. Kalel Mullings has been a bright spot, but he is the only bright spot. Donovan Edwards has totally disappeared. Ben Hall barely sees the field. And Jordan Marshall, a prized recruit, has been injured pretty much all season. The defense, which should have been their best unit, has been up and down all year. The d line is okay. Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant have been very good. Graham looks a little out of shape, but he is still producing. And Grant is swallowing double and triple teams consistently. The edge rushers seem to come and go. Josiah Stewart was unblockable against USC, but he barely did anything of note against Illinois. Derrick Moore has been hurt all year. Rayshaun Benny can't stay on the field. Cameron Brandt is committing dumb penalties. The linebackers have been okay, but I expected great things from this group. Jaishawn Barham is starting to pick it up, but it has taken too damn long. Ernest Hausmann is solid, but his coverage has been lacking. The secondary has been bad. Will Johnson is always hurt. He played one series at Illinois. He missed the Minnesota game. He may not play this weekend. Jayire Hill and Zeke Berry have made minimal strides, but they get targeted and get beat on a consistent basis. Quentin Johnson seems to have lost a step after flirting with the NFL. Makari Page coverage skills are nonexistent. And they get penalized far, far too much. There were multiple pass interference calls on Saturday. They got beat for three and long passes a few times. They miss tackles. The thing I notice most about this defense is how undisciplined they are. They have made so many mistakes this year that they haven't made in a long, long time. It is baffling to see after what we have watched for three years. This team has a ton of things to clean up. That starts with the coaching, but the players have to be held accountable at some point. And that means all players, not just the QB. Again,

I believe Michigan will be back. I hope that this season is just a bump in the road. Sherrone Moore was the right guy for the job. He earned it. But, he has got to move some things around and make some changes. I would love to see him play some young guys this season, just to see what he has on this roster moving ahead. And he needs to keep up the recruiting, especially in this new era of college football. As for this season, it's a total wash. They are a bad football team with a ton of issues. The issues are fixable, which is good. But, if they don't do something about it now, there is a very real possibility that they miss a bowl game one year after winning the championship. And that would be a bummer. Always and forever, Go Blue.

Robert Saleh Was Not The Jets Only Problem

The Jets relieved Robert Saleh of his head coaching duties yesterday. I was kind of surprised when I saw this news. Let’s discuss.

Saleh wasn't lighting the world on fire as a head coach by any means. His record was under .500, the offense always seemed to be a mess and he would say odd stuff from time to time while being interviewed. He also didn't seem to have much of a backbone with the front office. He let them run the show it seemed. But, he wasn't given the best team to work with all the time. He had to go out there and play with QB's like Zach Wilson, Trevor Siemien and Sam Darnold. Darnold is better now, but he was not great while with the Jets. I don't believe Siemien is still in the league and Wilson is destined to be a backup the rest of his career. They never had a real running game. Breece Hall got hurt two seasons ago and I don't know many other backs they've brought in. The receiving corps has not been super either. They have some dudes, but no one really jumps off the page. The defense was pretty legit under Saleh too. That is his forte. That is how he made his living in the NFL. He knows defense. The defense is why this team had any kind of relevance under Saleh. Again, Saleh was never over .500, but he won seven games two years in a row with Zach Wilson. He won six games with Siemien. He won five or six games with a rookie Darnold. Saleh did the best he could with the talent the front office gave him.

Then we have the whole Aaron Rodgers of it all. I am not, nor have I ever been a fan of his. He is a blowhard malcontent who is way too into conspiracy theories. He goes on wild offseason "darkness" retreats. He says stupid stuff like, "I am immunized from Coronavirus". He constantly complains about the "woke mob" while appearing on Pat McAfee's dumbass talk show. Rodgers is a locker room problem and he is a coach killer. I fully believe he is the one who wanted Saleh gone. I know he has come out today and said he has nothing to do with it, but come on man. This is his MO. He is an egomaniac that thinks he can cover everything up by going on some terrible rant on a dumbass sports talk show. He is clinically insane in my eyes. And he wanted to come to the Jets when he knew well that Saleh was the head coach. He got the front office to bring along all his buddies too. Rodgers convinced the Jets front office to sign Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard and Dalvin Cook, among others, to come play for the Jets after he signed with them. This would have been a great idea in 2015, when they were all still pretty good talents. They're all old, just like Saleh.

I have to imagine Saleh knew this, but he wasn't going to speak up to the front office. And that, along with the signing of Rodgers, led to him being removed from his job. Rodgers destroyed his knee on the first drive of the season last year, so this team, and Saleh, were already a year behind. Then all the off the field nonsense, again revolving around Rodgers, led to a bunch of unneeded attention. Now that Rodgers is back, and looks pretty old and not nearly anywhere near his elite level, this team needs a scapegoat. And that scapegoat is, unfortunately for him, Robert Saleh.

I don't know where the Jets are going to go from here, but this is a team I think I'd stay away from if I was an up and coming assistant in the NFL. There is something wild going on in that locker room, and I wouldn't touch Aaron Rodgers, who is 41 and coming off a massive injury, with a ten foot pole. I'm interested to see how this all shakes out.
