Helmets Off

The Jacksonville Jaguars benched Nick Foles. Nick Foles who won a Super Bowl is on the bench being replaced by Gardner Minshew. Scott doesn’t fully buy the Minshew Mania. Scott Mitchell is a former NFL quarterback, he gets it. He doesn’t agree with benching your Super Bowl-winning quarterback.

Gardner Minshew is not a long term fix in the NFL, according to Scott

Scott Mitchell knows the pain of no longer being able to play in the NFL. He also knows what it means to have to take a risk in order to stand up for yourself. As a young NFL quarterback, he chose to put his name on a lawsuit that had the potential to get him blackballed from the NFL. Instead, the lawsuit ensured NFL free agents would be treated fairly for years to come. This story is the basis for Mitchell's take on Colin Kaepernick's planned workout for NFL executives and coaches.

On helmets off we are talking about a helmet literally coming off and hitting someone on the head. In last night’s Steelers v. Browns game Myles Garrett hit Mason Rudolph in the head with a helmet. Scott Mitchell said that without a doubt, Garrett should be arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. He classifies the incident as workplace violence. If this happened on the street, someone would be arrested.

We are talking the good, better and worst of the NFL this week. We are halfway through the NFL season and the best thing about that is that more than half of the teams are still in the hunt for the playoffs meaning there are lots of really good teams. There is one reason Scott thinks Lamar Jackson could be better than Patrick Mahomes - his feet. He said a new generation of quarterbacks are changing the NFL.

Just when Scott thought he could begin to respect college football polls...this week’s came out and he is scratching his head.Utah is ranked #9. Clemson is a joke, the ACC is the worst Power-5 conference. Scott thinks each conference has two or three good teams. How can you have five teams in the top-10 from one conference? And the fact that Oregon is ranked over Utah? Thanks Nike and Justin Herbert.

Drew Brees returned as the starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints this weekend after he had surgery on his hand. Some people were wondering why he came back so soon especially when his backup was playing well and the Saints are coming up on a bye week. Brees said he’s a football player and just wanted to be back on the field with his teammates. This statement nearly brought tears to Scott’s eyes. He said - hands down - the best thing about playing in the NFL is the relationships you have with your teammates. He misses it so much and explains nothing will ever compare the camaraderie of an NFL team.

Herm Edwards, aka Reverend Herm, restored Scott’s faith in humanity this weekend when he apologized to head coach of Utah Football Kyle Whittingham for the way his players played during Saturday’s game. There were a lot of cheap shots and unessicarly rough plays made by the Sun Devils against the Utes - including targeting, roughing the passer and unsportsmanlike conduct.
