I know its not likely to ever happen, Fran is happy at All City/PHLY. I also acknowledge Robert and Derrik need time to build rapport snd chemistry Can i just kindly mention that Robert and Fran did a better job communicating, finding common ground, conveying their interest and professional relationship with the game than I've yet to see from Robert and Derrik. Sure, I love that Derrik likes "henchmen" and LBs. Or that he'll pick up on the more abstract things of a game That said, Robert, Michael, Marissa, hell even Fran, consider making the duo of Robert and Fran the full time TAFS crew as its been missing this level of chemistry since Nate Tice left to Yahoo Sports Thanks and no offense meant or intended towards Derrik!

As a bills guy i agree, if something is gonna break the bills season its the DL, particularly DT, they just have not gotten the pass rush from the middle with ed dealing with some injury and frankly inconsistency, and they have been getting gashed at times by Dts being blown out of plays or overpenetration and getting hit by wham blocks. they play an extremely tight line in their Run D in their bend and dont break, opportunistic style of play, which has gotten them a lot of turnovers, but if a team gets hot in the red zone on them and they cant stop the runs when they need to they give up a ton of yardage on explosive runs.
I like this show. I watch it all the time. For all of the "Ravens are a Super Bowl contender' that I hear constantly they are an 8-5 team. They have shown the capacity to lose to beat anyone. They have also shown the capacity to lose to anyone. Because the stars they get far more respect than the Vikings who are 10-2. I like the Bill Parcells statement. Most of the time you are what your record says you are. The exceptions to that are rare and therefore prove the rule.
Most of the time, yeah. Do you know what Lamar's TD to INT ratio is right now? 29 to 3. & someone looked into it & showed the film. Even his INTs contacted his targeted receiver first. So his INTs weren't even TO-worthy plays. But this is a _team._ So I think that now that Darnold has showed himself to be a little untrustworthy, this is making people uneasy. I'm not saying you're _wrong._ I just read a great collection of studies on how humans think & ANYTHING UNCERTAIN makes people balk. Put another way, if we could switch LJ8 & Darnold right now, everyone would think the Vikings were gonna win it. Lamar would have a better kicker, that's for sure. 🤣😯
100% College QBs have no financial incentive to go into the NFL early. These owners are so inpatient with young QBs and honestly so are fans. Ready to crown or destroy QBs their rookie year like its the NBA. Staying in college for another year of development collecting NIL is probably a no brainer move.
Few people are being asked to carry more of their Defense than Chris Jones (and he is getting paid to be “the man”). His double-team and pressure rates are phenomenal when considering his snap counts and supporting cast on the line (no juice there).
@ it’s how most D lines are built. Karlaftis is a 1st round pick who made all rookie team with great size tons of tackles pressures & averaging over 7 sacks a year. All above average. Players like Hendrickson are on much, much worse defensive lines with far worse secondaries than jones. Just as an objective fact… jones is still a great player an all pro imo
Hurts also completed the Mesh play to Goedart on 3rd-8 that seemed to crush the Ravens soul for some reason in the 4th quarter. I say that because the Ravens Defense played pretty good up until that moment. Then they gave up 3 consecutive explosive runs culminating in the Saquon TD to go up 9
I would argue of my the main reasons the chiefs can’t get any pressure this year is because they don’t have Snead/McDuffie/Watson anymore and are only left with 1 and the other 2 guys that have to fill Snead/Watson snaps are not good (Nazeeh got benched last game and CConner can’t guard quick guys in the slot)
Me, just as a person, i would a 1000x like to Work with a person like Jameis Winston than Deshaun Watson. Even with the baggage that comes in the Field with the unpredictability.
I have a rule change proposal, 1 team a year must start Jameis, he gets his contract covered by the NFL with no cap hit to the team.
Great show very helpful overview. Very knowledgeable guest. Thanks
More Fran Please!!
Fran is the Man !!!!
85 % of the Packer fans wanted Cooper de Jean in the first round, congrats to the Eagles.

Fran Duffffffffy
Love the idea of QBs staying in school. I hate that no one mentions this when they get mad at teams for not being patient and developing young QBs.
Fran is the best

Sounds like the eagles would be a bad matchup for the bills… we’ll see with the lions
1:00:14 Agreed. Opportunity to callout Jaylen Watson (broken ankle) as the reason for the drop off in the Defense.

What Keeps other teams up at night? Jalen Carter & Chris Jones… the only 2 answers for all pro now that dexter out for season

@ you don’t think Karlaftus is a good player? Uzomah starting to show out & is young… they’re as good as Milton Williams & Ojomo for Carter.
@@Tmindful182 they are both mid players. Karlaftis is more mediocre than anything
