I discover them a bizarre crew, however I really like the employees, I really like the proprietor, I really like the entrance workplace, I really like Lamar Jackson. They will win any sport, and lose any sport, however they're a wierd crew who's all of the sudden higher away from residence than at residence."

Their offense leads the NFL in first downs. … They have cluster accidents on the again finish. It harm them in opposition to Miami, hurts them in opposition to Baltimore. They're lacking three of their high 4 starters. They have accidents everywhere in the secondary and D-line. I do suppose their lack of a working sport exterior of Josh Allen — they are going to pay the value for that — most likely within the postseason, however they're an avalanche coming downhill.

They lead the NFL — not the Chiefs — in large performs. Their O-line and D-line could also be the most effective mixture within the NFL. They take the ball away, they have 9 takeaways. They scheme excellent, they take leads on you. Their second half offense has been hit-and-miss, however I believe they're actual. Nick Sirianni shocked me. I've by no means been extra worn on a head coach after a bumpy press convention. I really like watching them play. They're bodily, in-your-face. They make you uncomfortable."

The No. 2 scoring offense, probably the most inventive offensive coach within the league, the most effective quarterback within the league. Their protection: not possible to run on. They're forcing you to throw the ball. Now, the dangerous information is that they're giving up so much excessive. You may throw the ball on this crew, and so they've obtained to scrub that up, as a result of they are going to lead most video games late, in order that move protection goes to be on the sector within the fourth quarter within the playoffs. That is the one factor I do not like about them. … [But] they're the most effective rush protection within the NFL. That is a extremely good signal."
