the blindside OT. Arguably the most important position after the quarterback.

Average running backs will succeed with great blocking, schemes, and coaching. Paying them a fortune is a mistake. Wideouts too, especially.

The average fan will grumble when they’re traded away because media hypes ball handlers. But it’s the trenches that win games.

Browns trading for Odell Beckham two years ago was a classic mistake. I’ll beat this dead horse till my dying day.
