I know the #NFL is a cold business but watching the lack of concern or empathy from the scouts, coaches and observers following David Ojabo’s injury bugs me. Perhaps someone should’ve checked on him instead of grabbing the ball and moving to the next drill. Just a thought..

In 2018, Black QBs STILL have to deal with the perception that they are intellectually inferior.. I’m tired of the “coded” language in scouting reports.. I’m tired of the double standards.. I’m tired of sitting here acting like it’s ok to ignore the “dog whistles”.. It’s dumb

Ryan Tannehill is perfect example of why coaching matters. He looks like a completely different QB with the @Titans . Sometimes we need to evaluate the play-callers and QB developers before we call young QBs busts or flameouts. It might the COACHING that’s holding them back

The @Steelers lead the NFL in sacks, QB hits & takeaways in 2019 Since the 1970 merger, only 1 team has led the NFL outright in both sacks & takeaways for a full, non-strike-shortened season That team? The 1974 Steelers — the original Steel Curtain & Super Bowl IX champions

I’m sure @LeVeonBell is “disappointed” the team didn’t give him a deal at fair market value.. They should’ve thought about his absence when they failed to make him an offer that matched his talent and production.. Steelers had two years to avoid this holdout..

Why don’t we include Zeke Elliott in the top RB discussion? @dallascowboys RB1 has consistently put up big #s since stepping into the league. BTW, he missed 6 games in 2017 and still sits atop the list w/24 100+ scrimmage yard games since 2016 🤔

Royce Freeman could be one of the draft's biggest surprises when we see him suit up for the @Broncos . We always talk about finding quality RBs in the 2nd- and 3rd round. Freeman could be the Day 2 RB that we talk about at the end of the season like Hunt/Kamara #NFLDraft

The #Cowboys aren’t connected in the locker room. They’re a selfish bunch and that shows up in their play. A bunch of “me” guys playing as individual contractors. That’s why they don’t hustle, communicate or fight for each other. Everyone is a solid artist not a band member

This is just a small part of why I’m all in on @dh_simba7 . There’s so much nuance to QB play and he already has a terrific grasp of the “why” when it comes to decision making. Once again, I will say that No.7 plays the position like the great ones have played it for 20+years..

So disrespectful. @terrellowens was a dominant player in the league for his ENTIRE career. For him to be on the outside looking in w/hisnumbers & resume is a travesty. If you played against him, you know how he impacted the game as WR1 and how fearful you (& coaches) were vs him

How is it unnecessary roughness to hit a PR fielding a kick? The Gunner is going 100 MPH and he's supposed to know the PR is going to bend down or squat to catch a kick... It's unrealistic..

Different breed of athletes at DB. Hats off to the HS/CFB coaches who convinced these explosive athletes to play defense instead of "touching" the ball.. Size+Speed+AA+Ball Skills=💰 Any HS player measuring 5-10+ should start back pedaling today. There's a lot of $ to be made..

Does the QB-driven league narrative change if the Final Four features Foles, Keenum, Bortles and Brady? What does that say about team-building? Should execs start focusing their efforts on building squads that aren't COMPLETELY dependent on the QB? 🤔

It’s funny how this hiring thing works. You have an ex-NFL player who has ascended to OC role of the NFL No.1 offense thru years of work viewed as unqualified or not ready for the job but a 30-ish OC w/one-year of play-calling experience is a hot candidate. Make it make sense 🤔

There aren’t enough people talking about Brown as arguably the best player in the draft. It’s uncommon to see a big man with his combination of size, strength and explosiveness. Not to mention, he’s a 100% effort guy. He’s special. I mean gold jacket special. #NFLCombine

Weekly reminder why multi-sport athletes are better. @DeAndreHopkins finished his HS career w/1,300 points, 400 rebounds, 600 assists and 200 steals in BASKETBALL. It’s not a coincidence that he makes sick one-hand catches and acrobatic catches every week. Skills transfer 🏀🏈

It will be interesting to see if “addition by subtraction” works out better for the @steelers . Not to dismiss or diminish the talent of No.26 or No.84 but building a champion is about putting together the best “team” not collecting the best talent. Puzzle pieces need to fit.

I hate the slow leaks and character assassinations leading up to the draft. If you don’t like a player or don’t want to pick a player, it’s all good… No need to pile on with information that stigmatizes a player whether it’s true or not.. The NFL Draft is a soap opera but the…

It’s kinda interesting watching Dwayne Haskins and Justin Herbert on back to back days. Everyone assumed that Herbert was the unanimous No.1, if both underclassmen came out but Haskins has definitely been more consistent and is a cleaner QB prospect. He’s not consolation prize
