.AlbertBreer’s MMQB column: ✅ Joe Burrow’s potential first showed with a 70-yard TD run in third grade ✅ What Mike McDaniel is thinking ✅ Why Jalen Hurts is getting better ✅ The training secrets of the Bosa brothers
But here Hurts is going into a pivotal third NFL season not just a starter in the league, but one entrusted to pilot one of the better rosters in football, one that made the playoffs last year, and has been to the postseason in four of the past five years. And that’s where we can get to the reason to believe in the 24-year-old Hurts.football,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni told me just before a joint practice with the Dolphins. “He’s such a gym rat, he’s always into it.
“I don’t think he’d seen himself do it at a high enough level,” said Quincy Avery, his throwing coach. “His time in high school, he wasn’t a great thrower of the football. College, he wasn’t that great of a thrower of the football. Tua [Tagovailoa] was markedly better than him.” “And I think that’s the biggest factor in all this, a level of confidence that I’ve never seen him with before in the way that he throws the football.”
, kids all over Philadelphia are gonna be imitating that run where he jukes the defensive end, goes and scores to put the game away, for the next 20 years.in Washington, he’s unfazed. The guy hits him out of bounds in the first preseason game, the first drive, he’s unfazed. So I think it’s just who the man is. He’s unfazed by things, which is what you want. You want a guy that doesn’t ride the waves of the season. You want that with all your guys, but especially at that position.
Which was a reference to it being a 10 a.m. body-clock game, another NFL creation he’s not wild about, and the lessons he’ll take from the experience. And it grew the bond with the third member of their offseason team—trainer Todd Rice who, the story goes, was let go by the Chargers amid a coaching change, and was quickly hired by Joey after the two had long talks about the methodology of strength training.
“When you train in college, it’s a lot of just body-building. It’s bull----, honestly,” Nick added. “You’re just trying to prove that you’re a leader, and you’re not really optimizing what you could do as an athlete on the field. You’re just lifting a bunch of weight and getting as big as you can, and then going out there and risking things. Now that I’ve been with Todd, I’ve really stacked three amazing years.
“I wasn’t really ready for the attention I was gonna get as a player because I was double-teamed the most and I got chipped every play, and I kinda started feeling bad for myself,” he said.And while he’s thought about reaching out to guys such as Aaron Donald for advice, it was easy this offseason to just get advice from Joey, and take it to his position coach, Kris Kocurek, in San Francisco.
“And yeah, every year we want to have a great year, but I think mentally, more importantly than anything, I’m just feeling good—which will make it that much easier to come out and work hard every day. And we have that connection, so we can talk. He’s in great shape, obviously, and we all gotta try our best to stay healthy but it’s a long season. But knock on wood, it should be a good one for both of us.
And with that as the backdrop—that this was happening sooner or later—sooner, with a quarterback especially, is just about always better. This offseason alone, the number of signal-callers with base pay topping $40 million per year went from three to nine, and that number is likely to keep climbing with Lamar Jackson’s situation still unresolved , and Burrow and Justin Herbert eligible for new deals in early 2023.
Then, he’d get to free agency, unless the Ravens decide to tag him a third time at a number that would probably be around $80 million. 2) C.J. Stroud’s got a lot to clean up after Ohio State rode its defense and run game to a bully-ball win over Notre Dame. But he also has time, and it’s understandable why, coming back as a Heisman Trophy front-runner and potential top draft pick, he might be pressing a little.
6) I like the College Football Playoff move to 12 teams . And if there’s one change that’s needed, it’s that the quarterfinals should be on campus. No fan is traveling to three playoff games, and the only people who’d be upset to see these games held in home stadiums would be the bowl execs who’ve been scamming everyone for decades. I think the conferences and schools could afford, at this point, to tell those guys where to get off.
All four of those guys were in San Francisco with Saleh and Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, and so in all four cases, there was no guessing on what the Jets were getting. They knew it. And even in cases where there were players available that Saleh and Douglas liked that maybe they didn’t know personally, the Jets worked their back channels to make sure who was coming in would fit.
If it does, interestingly enough, Jets fans could have an old friend, and an unlikely one at that, to thank.My understanding is at that ahead of Watson’s suspension, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski, offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt and quarterbacks coach Drew Petzing worked with Watson’s throwing coach, Quincy Avery, to come up with an individualized plan, and throwing scripts, to keep Watson sharp while he’s away from the team.
It’s Kirk Cousins, of course. But it’s also Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson , Eric Kendricks, Harrison Smith, Danielle Hunter and a bunch of other guys who’ve won a lot of games in Twin Cities. I really think the blend of old and new in the building, both on the roster and in coaching, plus maybe a little bump from the change in atmosphere, sets the ceiling relatively high for O’Connell’s group. I also believe that the investment he’s made in the current guys, in allowing the team’s leadership council to help chart the course, will help quicken the process of getting new schemes installed and playing fast.
But Poyer’s case is an example of how the strengthened holdout rules have created awkward situations for teams and their players. “There’s no words to describe these last few weeks,” he said. “All I know is that I am beyond grateful for the outpouring of love and support for my family. Luke is not lost, because we know exactly where he is. God’s got him, and I know I’ll be seeing him again one day. Luke’s legacy will continue [to] live on through all the lives he’s impacted in incredible ways. This isn’t a goodbye, it’s just a see you later. I love you Luke.
Which is why we’re here with a compromise that has Garoppolo back as the backup—with Kyle Shanahan having declared Trey Lance the starter—on a deal worth, purposefully, less than the rookie deal Lance is playing on. Doing the deal, which has a $6.5 million base, $500,000 in per-game roster bonuses, and $8.45 million in incentives, buys both sides time to see if, either through injury or poor play, another opportunity arises for a trade.
Newton told the Pivot Podcast that last year, with the Panthers, he “put myself in another f---ed up situation.” But as I see it, that’s the sort of situation that’ll have to arise again for him to reemerge in the NFL. Which is too bad. Because, again, he’s a pretty historic player, and it’d be awesome to see him get another shot or two to see if he can make it work.
