Hello! I did something I do every year now on my YouTube—ranked every HC job opening based on my extremely scientific and infallible system…. Check it out 👇 youtu.be/euKGaiuMEu8

I wrote about Sam Darnold, who can show he’s more than just a redemption arc over the next few weeks www.theringer.com/2026/01/15/n...

My 🐐 is back

Mina and I disagree on one game...

Who do the 49ers have to stop against the Seahawks? The Rams biggest advantage against the Bears? Looked at the most important matchups in the NFC Divisional games www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...

This one makes a ton of sense. Can see why the job appealed to Harbaugh—young QB with potential, solid ownership—but the roster has a lot of holes (OL, defense outside of the pass rush). Interested in what kind of staff he puts together.

You think 9 NFL coaching vacancies is a lot? We had 10 in 2022. EIGHT of those 10 have already been fired.

“You have what feels like the brass ring when it comes to hiring a coach…a playcaller who is on the same page as your QB.” On the pod, @foxworthshow.bsky.social and I discussed why we think GB should keep Matt LaFleur. 🎧: apple.co/3NhLzsy 📺: youtu.be/GtuVKvrC6yk?...

A Ravens coaching search update from owner Steve Bisciotti and our Jeff Zrebiec:

For anyone wondering why I spent so much time baking last summer....here's why! Airs Feb 1

Ed Oliver coming back is *huge* if he’s healthy

If you aren’t sure why I occasionally talk football and want some people who talk a lot more sports, here’s a starter pack for you! (Let’s make BlueSky sports even better so more people leave the Nazi bar)

Based on both EPA per pass play and success rate, that Aaron Rodgers performance was the worst by a QB in a playoff game over the last 10 seasons. Just as dominant of a defensive showing as you'll ever see from the Texans tonight.

Will Anderson Jr is one of those dudes who the NFL should be marketing as a face of the league. Plays like a maniac, joyful in interviews. His love of the game shines.

Will be discussing later this week but the one weakness Houston has is defending QB runs—Maye’s mobility will be important

CJ Stroud targeting the slot tonight (per NextGenStats): 11-15, 156 yards, 1 TD-1 INT

So Rodgers has a time to throw over 3 seconds—that has to be his longest of the season. This is what the Texans do. You want to throw the ball quickly to mitigate the rush, but the coverage is so tight, you can’t throw the ball short. They’re a boa constrictor that chokes the life out of you.

the steelers offense is evitable

THE TEXANS DEFENSE IS INEVITABLE

Ive seen the Steelers win this exact type of game so many times…..

CJ WYD MAN

Unfortunately I am almost definitely going to watch that Chris Pratt AI judge movie on a plane. I’m not proud of this but I already know it’s true.

Time for one of my favorite games: How fast will Rodgers’ time to throw be tonight? I’m going 2.42

Lmaoooooo

I think this is right. Jordan Lewis injury also flew under the radar and showed up in this one. Newsome trade didn’t work out.

This was such a sick play by Tre White Bills do not win this game without him

Texas route from the opposite side thru the C gap. Sure, man.

Excited to watch the Patriots defense on tape. Cris made it sound like the coverage was really impressive, esp when the DL didn't get immediate pressure.

Some of these hits on Herbert have been downright painful to watch

All year long the Chargers offense, with all of their OL injuries, has been the "they can't keep getting away with it" team. And so it was.

If the Pats put a 6th OL on the field, there's a good chance a shot is coming. Really important change up for them.

Chargers calling the DPI??? offense

Obviously not highlight throws but the Chargers defenses makes you be patient and he’s been just that on some of these checkdowns over the middle

Also notable—the Pats have arguably the worst short yardage run defense in the NFL and their nose tackle is out

(Dak Prescott voice)

I picked against you bc I watched your defense in the second half in the season. I failed to account for the stoppable force that is the Eagles offense.

Imagine taking the Cardinals job, man. You gotta go up against McVay/Shanahan/Macdonald? No thanks

Eagles offense with a 35th percentile performance, based on EPA/drive. That's with 10 of 11 starters available on the NFL's most expensive offense. Going up against a bottom-5 defense. Counted on defense to bail them out all year. In the end, they were who we thought they were.

🕯️ manifesting elite QB play tonight 🕯️

Second OC he’s hand picked in three years who has been bad.
