Love this. Very serious, all business. Talks up Shula, gives him credit that he deserves.

"Season is like a marathon, its not a sprint"- Love that. Seems he is in the right mindset.

hahaha, love his comments about the 'rookie wall' and sort of brushing it off his shoulder. Obviously not something he is worried about, just wants to get better week by week.

Damn I hate you can't hear what the guy is asking about Smitty.

"They were pressing him, it was physically impossible for me to make an accurate throw without putting the ball in jeopardy"....well said, sir.

You look at Legadu, LaFell, those guys are steppin up, they've had great games the past few weeks.

"The game is beginning to slow down, you see all the attention Steve is getting, where the safeties are going to go" "They do a good job moving Steve around a lot, but they gonna find 89 regardless"

lol@ he will be watching the Heisman ceremony Saturday night

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
