Four Down Territory: Air and Opportunity

First Down Sunday during the Titans/Ravens game there was a kerfuffle at midfiled between a few Titans and Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. It ended with some exchanging of words between coaches. https://twitter.com/picksixpod/status/1330574646706630656 https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1331464847331123203 Quick note: masks go over the nose too. After this exchange I started thinking; what head coaches would I NOT want to fight? It's easy to look at NFL coaches and think of them as old, frail people but there are some that would give out hand sandwiches like a food bank. So, here we are. Honorable Mention Pete Carroll, Seattle Seahawks: Listen, Pete is 69 years old but old man strength is real and Pete possesses this old man strength. He also looks like the guy who calls everyone under 40 a whippersnapper. That's old man code for: "I still got it so don't try me." Also, I'm not saying that Pete Carroll keeps a blade on him but I'm not saying that he doesn't have a blade on him. Take that information as you wish. 5. Bruce Arians, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Think of Pete Carroll but bigger and louder. Pete is modest and will play around but Bruce doesn't mince words and will throw at the drop of a Kangol. Bruce doesn't believe in fighting fair and will break a beer bottle over your head without hesitation. The key to a guy like Bruce is surviving the initial blow. He's going to run out of steam quickly and if he's tired then he won't be a problem but if he gets his hands on you then I hope you have health insurance. 4. John Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens: I mean the man just walked up to an oppenent at mid-field and started flapping his gums. You have to take John seriously because guys like him will do whatever it takes to end the confrontation as soon as possible. Don't be worried about the actual physical altercation. He's the guy that starts the fight, gets punched, calls timeout, then kicks you in the groin and claims victory. He'll also call the police and press charges even though he was the instigator. 3. Brian Flores, Miami Dolphins: He's 39. He played linebacker. He still looks like he plays linebacker. I wouldn't be shocked if he took scout team reps to "give the offense an authentic look." Brian isn't the guy who does a lot of pre-fight talking. He doesn't need to stretch, he doesn't need friends just in case. He's going to methodical in his attack and is going to wear you down. You trying to throw with this guy? https://twitter.com/BMR_561/status/1329130499416199174 2. Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills: These AFC East coaches, right? This is a name you probably didn't think of when you started reading but Sean is the most dangerous kind of opponent. He looks soft-spoken and easy to take down. What most people don't know is that Sean was a national prep wrestler in '92 and '93. He also was an all-conference safety at William and Mary. Translation? He's quick and powerful. When you fight guys like Sean it's like fighting three people at once. He's 5'7" so he's already low to the ground and powerful. One takedown and it's a wrap. 1. Mike Vrabel, Tennessee Titans: WHO ELSE COULD IT BE? Mike is the guy who lets you hit him first; those men are the most dangerous people on earth. Mike sees his own blood and giggles. Not laughs, giggles. He's a maniac and avoid the smoke at all cost. You know what, maybe a visual will help translate what I'm trying to say. Guess how Mike is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO5WPKT0690 Second Down Sean Payton is a wild one, I'll admit that. After putting Drew Brees on IR most people thought Jameis would step into the starting role. That is, until Sean Payton had and idea that's mind boggling at best. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1329805135871139841 You read that correctly, Taysom Hill got the nod. On a financial front, it makes sense. Hill signed a contract for $16 million last year; realllyyy pricey for a gadget guy but he's not going to ride pine if Brees can't play. It's a massive waste of money and an indictment of the front office. So, how did Taysom do? https://twitter.com/Saints/status/1330621029027373058 Not great but he didn't put the team in danger. He should continue to be the starter, right? Lol let's look at some highlights. https://twitter.com/Saints/status/1330591791846977538 That was a go route. This is a great heads up play by Sanders because that was an awful throw. I mean... https://twitter.com/JustinM_NFL/status/1330587820990324738 It's just amazing how a man that has thrown 41 career passes and 0 touchdowns, including yesterday, is getting playing time over a former number one overall pick. Jameis did throw 30 interceptions last year but if Sean Payton is the genius I keep hearing then he can design a gameplan that revolves around Winston getting the ball out quickly. I'm not the only person who thinks this. https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1330520777049968645 The players are at practice daily and get to see both of them. They know who deserves to be the starter. Luckily, for New Orleans, they'll probably get away with this until Drew gets back. Their next three games are the Broncos, Falcons, and Eagles. Drew is able to return against Philadelphia but you can probably beat the Eagles without Drew so there's no need to put him out there. After the Eagles game is where things get interesting. If Drew can't return then we'll get to see what Payton really thinks of Hill because New Orleans has a date with the defending champion Chiefs. That gadget stuff is cool against awful teams that struggle to score but let's see how fun QB draws are when you're down 17-0 in the first quarter. Taysom is a great story; an undrafted guy who found a niche in the league and got a great payday because of it. I'm just tired of people trying to sell him as something he's not. Even ESPN has a hard time believing Hill is a legit quarterback. https://twitter.com/FieldYates/status/1329807420986683392 Third Down Joe Burrow is done for the season. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1330950466692378628 The video of the injury won't be posted because we don't do that here but the respect this young man already has in the league is pretty cool. https://twitter.com/DriveTheLanePod/status/1330607346817568784 Even with an atrocious offensive line Joey B put up NUMBERS over ten games. https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/1330956958896152578 His injury is significant and his status for week one next year is up in the air. Until he returns let's enjoy the amazing season Burrow had until his injury. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HC43PlrO-Y Fourth Down PICK TIME!
