The Truth Behind Russell Wilson’s Benching

by

1

The Broncos tried to make Russell Wilson restructure his contract and he didnt want to. They asked him in October and were trying to force his hand. This is why all the tension between Payton and Wilson aside from I dont think he cared for Wilson.

We never heard or saw sideline rants & tension when he had Taysom Hill or Tedy Bridgewater after Drew Brees.

Broncos brass tried to make him waive his injury clause so it would be easier to move him and they’d only owe the $37 million in 2024 guaranteed. Not the $33-37 million also due in 2025 if he gets injured. This is to make him tradeable but this press makes him less tradeable in my eyes.

Its a black eye for everyone involved and I think we’ll see a dispirited team hit the field. Players are human and know when it comes to business & the disrespect Wilson is being shown: “If it can happen to you ($250million) it can happen to me.” After this would you want to sign a big free agent contract in Denver?
You better believe players will be talking.

Week 5: Purdy Enters MVP Race

by

Not only is it time to stop talking about how young Brock Purdy is, he is a bonafide NFL QB and entering the NFL MVP race. Huge stage in a big game both teams had circled, he played poised and made throw after throw all night.
Last year he threw a few passes and bubble screens… last night he hit shot after shot downfield. Completed 7 of 10 beyond 10+ yards on corner routes against man and in cuts threading the zone. Some pundits were talking about a legendary start to the season for Dallas’ defense and Purdy dominated them a second time in 8 games. Last night… masterfully.
In this season’s 2 toughest assignments Purdy has led the 49ers to blowout wins over Pittsburgh (30-7) and Sunday Night’s debacle 42-10. The Cowboys were kept off balance defensvely as Purdy went 17 of 24 for 254 yards and a career high 4 TDs. Coming into the game the Cowboys were ranked 2nd in the NFL on defense. They had held 3 of their first 4 opponents to 10 points or less. Brock and the 49ers dropped them to 5th in defensive ranking after having them surrender their season high in yards (421) passing yards (251) and points (42).
Those numbers aren’t overly spectacular. So why is this MVP worthy? Do you realize for the season #13 has thrown for 1,271 yards with 9 TDs without an interception?? The 49ers are playing aggressive, smart, balanced football and take their shots downfield once they set those plays up. Purdy is now an architect of what you see and not a game manager.
Keep in mind this is also after returning from major surgery on his throwing elbow suffered in last year’s NFC Championship Game.
He may have been “Mr Irrelevant” but he isn’t a flash in the pan. This kid has earned it and will be around for a long time. With his game against the Cowboys he rendered Dak Prescott irrelevant.

Week 5: Bills Sabotaged By International Game

The NFL has to remember its a sport… In no way can you explain competitive balance of the Buffalo Bills having to travel to Europe on Friday and play a game on Sunday. Against a Jacksonville Jaguar team that stayed in Europe for the last two weeks??
Buffalo started the game lethargic…. no zhit! A team that couldn’t stop scoring with 48 before the end of the 4th quarter a week ago against the Dolphins didnt look like themselves until the 2nd half when they finally scored a TD.
For the record I hate the games in Europe… it leads to fatigue and injury and LB Milano may be out for the season. Think that is a coincidence along with the Bills lethargic start? Get better #58… praying for you.
Europe has been streaming NFL games the last 15 years and can continue to do so. Why jeopardize player safety for a few dollars the NFL would have had stateside anyway?? Greed isn’t good Gordon Grecko…

Tacitly Different Negotiations – The Topic of Black Running Back Contract Negotiations

Lets take you back… the Cowboys had just won Super Bowl XXVII and Emmitt Smith had led the NFL in rushing the last 2 seasons. He had to holdout, miss the preseason, the Cowboys started 0-2 and only after Charles Haley threw his helmet into the wall in Jerry Jones direction did they sign Smith to a $13 million contract.
Seven weeks later with no holdout, no tension in the media, no negative press to sway public attention about the greedy athlete “who should be grateful”… Troy Aikman gets his $50 million extension. Yup…right in the middle of the season!
Same team…both 1st round draft picks…same champion…same management…tacitly different negotiation tactics.
Didnt running backs get hurt and have inconsistent seasons later in their career then too?? Emmitt was going into year 4 and the avg career for a running back is 4 years. Didn’t Emmitt take a lot of hits?? So kill that noise about being scared the running back will get hurt. Emmitt led the league in rushing 2 of the next 3 seasons after signing this contract and they won 2 more Super Bowls.
Yet I keep hearing all these b.s. armchair GMs trying to justify this on television and social media but I know where the bodies have been buried. Keep your eye on the reasons why you keep hearing “Running backs devalued” over and over by corporate controlled media and the propaganda peppering of “Its a passing game” shoved down your throat. Think about what Kwame Brown was saying was the role of Stephen A Smith and to a degree what I think Emmanuel Acho is doing.
This is nefarious…and it runs deeper than you think….I love the x’s and o’s of football, the players, stories and life lessons. Its the business and racial /political dynamics that bring you back to reality and let you know its not “just a game”

Answer To Cam Newton’s Comment on His Hair Keeping Him From An NFL Job

by

I hate listening to people take shots at Cam Newton. Of course everyone has an opinion but to do so with rancor has become a disturbing trend by fans over the last few years. Lets dissect form a football perspective…
Truth of the matter is he depended on throwing low trajectory balls…drilling it between zoned defenders. He never accurately threw the array of touch passes to get over linebackers and under the over coverage enough to “throw receivers open”.
He was always in “The Pistol” and could have benefitted from learning a series of “West Coast” style plays…steps with route combination timing. Would have benefitted greatly to his maturation in how he could play today with not as strong an arm. He would still be at a starter level had that been honed in and taught.
Go back and look at his interceptions even when he was playing great… defenders would undercut his throws. You can’t gun the ball in on every play. This is the number one reason he hasnt evolved like Randall Cunningham once he got older. 1989 Randall was way different then 1998 Randall leading the 15-1 Vikings to an NFL record 556 points.
This is the true “X’s” & “O’s” reason Cam is no longer a starter

Is it the Arizona or Apartheid Cardinals

Tell The Truth Tuesday –

Cardinals

So let me ask you this Arizona Cardinals: Chief OC Eric Bienemy swallowed Eagle DC Gannon in the 2nd half of Super Bowl LVII and scored on every possession and that convinced you to hire Gannon? Check

You hired Patrick Mahomes college coach Kliff Kingsbury who couldnt produce a winning record in the Big XII. Check

Sooooo the OC that coached Patrick Mahomes to the 1st 50 TD season as a starter, most yards in a season 2 MVPs and 2 Super Bowl championships and should have been 4 Super Bowl appearances in the last 5 years isnt good enough or considered?

And you have a broken quarterback to fix in Kyler Murray??

After bypassing Asst GM Adrian Wilson for a GM from the outside? Check… Check…Check…

When you had Steve Wilks as a coach, you fired him in one year and he had no chance to build? Check Yet you gave Kingsbury several to “grow into” his position? Check

Sounds like and definitely looks like some racism/placism to me. No black men in positions of authority no matter the relationship with the organization or resume…. Got it!!

Now it’s being “leaked” Brian Flores was offered the Head Coaching position. Really? Thats news sitting here listening to 98.7 FM on a daily basis and your flagship station where Cardinals Coach gives his obligatory press conference. Interesting…

May you lose 17 games a season until you sell the team! Henceforth we’re changing the name – The Apartheid Cardinals.
