Helmets Off

Tim Landry and Bill Parcels didn’t make the list of the greatest NFL coaches of all time. That shows you how many amazing coaches have graced the NFL. Scott Mitchell, former NFL quarterback, loves making these ultimate, super players and coaches but this is the one he has been most excited about. Also - the NFL season is well on its way and we are stoked about that here at Helmets Off.

Scott gets it - having the equipment that makes you comfortable is extremely important. Your equipment becomes apart of you when you get to the level of excellence of being and NFL player. Tiny changes can really throw things off. But he also thinks Antonio Brown needs to get in or get out - no more playing games.

The first preseason college football AP poll was released today and Scott already has issues with the rankings. Scott’s alma mater - Utah - comes in at #14. That’s not where Scott takes issue. Ohio State? Surprise. Notre Dame? Surprise. Penn State? Surprise. See a trend..it is almost nauseating. But on the positive side - these polls mean nothing.

Dak Prescott thinks he is worth $40 million. Scott recalls the first year of NFL Free Agency when the salary cap per team was $32 million. That means the team had to spread $32 million across the ENTIRE TEAM. Scott doesn’t think Dak Prescott is worth $40 million. He isn’t even a top 10 quarterback in the NFL. We have a list of quarterbacks worth $40 million dollars: Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes. Dak Prescott is not on the list. He should have took the offer of $30 million.

Travis Pastrana and Luke Aikins, both extreme athletes, came on Helmets Off to talk latest projects, biggest jumps and dumbest stunts. Last night Aikins flew into Salt Lake City over the capitol building to usher in this year's Nitro World Games. Scott asks the duo why they do what they do and when enough is enough. They talk their biggest goals and how their interest is now in helping the next generation of extreme athletes succeed.

Tom Brady is selling his home in Massachusetts for $40 million. Scott says this feels like the end, the last deal for Tom Brady with the New England Patriots. Does selling his house mean he is preparing for the end of his career with the Patriots. Only time will tell but it will be interesting to see how this season plays out for Tom Brady. Will this season be the downfall of the GOAT?

Taysom Hill is Drew Brees backup quarterback for the New Orleans Saints. He is no regular backup. He also plays at wide receiver and on special teams.

He is a phenomenal athlete who can be apart of some never before seen plays and types of plays in the NFL.

Is this type of backup going to become a trend in the NFL? Scott thinks it could easily be because the NFL is a copycat league.

Centers and quarterbacks have a special relationship. How many professionals bring you THAT close to someone? Scott is building the ultimate NFL Center, because honestly, a center holds the entire offense together. A good center can make or break quarterback play and a team's running game.
