“You just can’t beat the person who never gives up.” - Babe Ruth

@Vikings all I need is an interview, an opportunity. Your GM should try to trade Wentz and a 3rd Rd pick to the 49ers for Mac Jones @MacJones_10. Right now. Don’t wait until he hits free agency. You need him in-house now, this season!

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@speakeasytlkshw to help you with your question of “who could go straight to the NFL from high school”….none of you mentioned Derrick Henry. His only problem has been coaches not giving him the ball enough. He had a pro body and speed.

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@speakeasytlkshw Siranni could have used his 1st half timeouts to get Hurts back into the game. He could have stalled. Mannion could have given the ball to Saquon three times. He could have run sorry Andy Dalton on a naked bootleg on 1st down, which no one would have guessed.

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@Giants instead of giving @diegopavia02 an opportunity, who actually lead historically bad Vandy to relevance, you traded away draft capital (5th Rd) for JJ, who has never shown any quality QB skills? I don’t mean to sound harsh toward JJ, but he should have gone undrafted.

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@colincowherd @TheHerd I don’t understand the negative Matt Lefleur takes. It is obvious that his offense needs their RB. It is elementary, but to protect a lead, you need to run the ball well AND you need to rush the passer well. The Packers lost Micah and Josh Jacobs. Simple.

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@Giants free advice. @diegopavia02 call him! Think outside of the box. Provide the opportunity to a motivated player. Luck (I would say, Success) is when preparation meets opportunity. Injuries provide opportunities in sports. You never know what could happen. IJS

@iamcardib @Latto so I was just reminded about LL Cool J’s“Doin It” and it is due for another 🔥version starring you two! It just feels right.

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@packers don’t you need Joey Bosa with Micah out? 3rd downs (3rd and long)? Hunting QBs after getting a lead? Just an idea. Sounds like an ideal fit. With the opportunity to play meaningful football, you could sign him. $3mil with incentives to $5mil seems reasonable.

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@colincowherd @TheHerd @JohnMiddlekauff @joelklatt the football story so far this weekend has been teams running the ball. OL chemistry is in process. QBs and WRs are not completely in sync. RBs are running well. OCs that embrace the run more are winning more.

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@colincowherd @joelklatt Ryan Day blew that game. Good for Texas showing fight. Bo Jackson was running the ball well. They should have run more. Not kicking that FG in the 1st half. Not letting Texas score with 1:29 left, so they could have the ball and a timeout to win.

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@colincowherd @TheHerd @joelklatt the Bama QB, Russell, needs to transfer to LSU. Kiffin needs his arm talent, and he needs their play-calling. Bama’s OC’s play-calling and coaching are not preparing him well for games or the next level.

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@joelklatt @colincowherd @TheHerd the question to ask is, is Kyle Whittingham too old to adjust to having a QB like Underwood, who is likely different from the QBs that he normally recruits? Can the HC (and OC) adjust this season, or is he too old and rigid?

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@colincowherd your bias distorts your perspective RE: Bryce Young & Coach Canales. A different view, Canales is OK not good. He looked good because of Liam Coen & Ejiro Evero. Baker played well because of Liam. The Panthers win with DEF. Bryce would pop with a better OC.

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@colincowherd @TheHerd @getnickwright the Chiefs starting an UD Rookie at LT, who has played only Guard & RT in college, will have a run-heavy game plan this week. Guaranteed! If the Broncos & Vance Joseph are not prepared for that, then they aren’t using logic. Heavy dose of K9.

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@TheHerd @JohnMiddlekauff @colincowherd @stephenasmith if Underwood continues playing poorly for Michigan, is it time to start being critical of (and fire) the college GMs that pay huge money to players that don’t live up to the hype? Are we there yet?

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@finebaum @colincowherd @kaitlancollins @espn all of this talk about LSU & this ONE class from 2022 & their ability to return to college for ONE season… it is really all about the bill in Congress that Saban & others want to push. Just admit it! Stop distracting. Admit the truth

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@colincowherd @TheHerd you live in Chicago and probably have more Bears connections now. Ben Johnson needs to hire Jim Schwartz. I assume that he has real championship aspirations. You will see how important he was to Stefanski and the Browns this season.

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@JohnMiddlekauff I would trade for Bijan Robinson and give up Omarion Hampton in a heartbeat! The idea that a GM wouldn’t jump at that opportunity is what’s wrong with some teams. That should be an easy decision for the @chargers assuming you aren’t giving up any picks. 1 for 1.

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@diegopavia02 AZCardinals & NY Jets, might be your best NFL hopes for this season. I hope that you get the opportunity. Just because teams don’t believe in you today doesn’t mean that you are not capable of being successful. See Doug Flutie. You just might need an alternate route

[SportsTalk @BendtheKnee18]

@espn @colincowherd Balogun Red Card. #2. Red Card penalty-too harsh. They make the actual game(s) unfair. 1&2)Player misses AND team players without a player-remainder of game. (10v11). 3)Player misses 1+ additional games. Too much power for Ref/org to influence game outcomes.
