Dan Quinn on rookies Brandon Coleman (3rd rd LT) and Johnny Newton (2nd rd DT): “We won’t know where Coleman and Johnny are until we get further along in the week. If they weren’t able to practice, then we wouldn’t play them, so I want to make sure getting the practice, getting…

Smart from Joe Theismann on Jayden Daniels’ as a runner: “You need somebody with that athletic ability but you have to temper yourself as a young guy, you have to know when to run and when not to run….He has good pocket discipline.”

Joe Theismann on Jayden Daniels: “It’s incredible we get all the hype, the Heisman Trophy…He comes out and he does some really special stuff, and you basically want to say to yourself, ‘as advertised.'”

Good rep from a couple of players on this 2nd and 20. #RaiseHail
1- Very good post-snap processing from Sam Hartman. He stayed patient, worked his progressions, and recognized the LB vacating zone on the ½ side with Tremayne sitting in that void.
2-Brycen Tremayne had a very… pic.twitter.com/iRqvvSFK5Z

This kicking situation is a problem. Ahmed was inaccurate and Patterson just rocked the goal post so hard it was wobbling around

Jets sent a conditional 2026 third-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for Haason Reddick, who showed up for his physical and press conference, and spoke highly about the organization and opportunity. But then there was no new deal, and now there is a trade request. https://t.co/L3XJMnhEGD

Trust and communication issues led to this situation between the Jets and Hasson Reddick.
Here’s what I know:
*The Jets traded for Reddick knowing he wanted a contract adjustment. (All teams interested in trading with the Eagles were told he wanted a new deal)

The blowback against the new kickoff doesn’t make sense to me.
1) Teams aren’t showing all of their plans for the new kickoff yet.
2) The entire point of this change is to have returns. That is happening. The old rule netted 2.2 returns per game, this one led to 8 returns per…
