Doug Williams is a Super Bowl winning QB. He’s also evaluated the position for Washington for a long long time. So, what’s the ONE trait that he looks for in prospects that translates well to the NFL? pic.twitter.com/aa6ReJ0Nfj

What ever team Sam Howell plays for next is getting a BTT-er.

If Adam Peters is smart….

He sticks with Sam Howell at QB.

Howell was obviously hamstrung by a bad situation last season…

During an appearance on the “I Am Athlete” podcast, Russell Wilson said he still hopes to remain with the Broncos despite being benched for the final two games last year.

Wilson said he has plenty left to give in his career, regardless of where he plays.https://t.co/ch1lcOD9QO pic.twitter.com/LWBTbhi258

Context for why the NFL is trying to address the kickoff. Last year, the return rate was just 22 percent. But the rate of concussion on returns is double any other football play. How do you increase the return rate, while reducing the concussion rate?

— Judy Battista (@judybattista) February 25, 2024

The absence of kickoff returns in 2023 — in the Super Bowl, 13 kickoffs, zero returns — is not what the NFL wants long term. The fair catch rule from 2023 reduced concussions (good!) because it nearly eliminated returns entirely (bad).

If there is going to be a proposal, the Competition Comm. would want it ready for consideration at the NFL’s annual meeting one month from now. McKay has no desire to have owners and coaches try to craft a rule in the room in Orlando.

From our story… Roger Goodell attended today’s four-hour meeting in Indianapolis at which members of the NFL competition committee discussed possible changes to kickoffs. Any proposal by the committee could be considered by the owners at next month’s league meeting in Orlando.

From our story… “I think you might see a proposal” related to a variation of the XFL kickoff, a source said. It’s unclear whether such a proposal would receive the 24 votes among the 32 team owners necessary for it to be enacted next season, that source said.

— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) February 26, 2024

Rich McKay on kickoffs, continued: “And if we can in a creative way, we should consider it. It doesn’t mean you’re going to get 24 votes. But it means that we’ve got to get it on the table and consider it.”

More Competition Comm. meetings tomorrow and in the weeks leading up to the March meeting. They did not discuss hip drop tackles or the quarterback-push play today.

— Judy Battista (@judybattista) February 25, 2024

The NFL competition committee, which met today in Indianapolis, seems “aligned” on banning the hip-drop tackle, source says, as long as the league and committee can craft the proper rule-change language defining the technique.

Cam Newton got jumped by 6 guys.

Cam Newton once ran through like eight Atlanta Falcons in one play and gleefully smiled the entire time as they bounced off of him.

Why the hell would you try to fight that.
