I, uh, don't see how the rest of the transcript contradicts the original sentiment.

The last six-months-plus of Patriots coverage from the national media has been about the fractures in the relationship between key Patriots figures. Brady answered a question about it with "I plead the fifth" and then babbled on with a non-answer for the next couple minutes and went to great pains to never actually say that he felt appreciated by the team.

That's how Brady always answers everything though, by giving a vapid politicians' soundbite. Brady's also clearly smirking as he says I plead the fifth, come on.

The fractures in the relationship is also a very silly thing. Oh no, the Patriots might be over soon! has been the media narrative since 2011 because what else is there to write about a team that wins 15 games every year? Yeah, no poo poo the 41 year old QB and 66 year old head coach aren't going to be doing this for much longer. Hell, Belichick's written about wanting to retire before he was too old to enjoy it, which I thought would be last year, but Kraft revealed last year he has a pact with Belichick with an end date they're keeping secret, which likely plays into the Josh McDaniels retention (ugh).

I'm gonna be honest I know nothing about Lamar Jackson but a cursory glance of his highlights vs Vick's makes him look more like Manziel

Nah he's a different beast from Manziel that's for sure. He really is quick and fast, not Vick status but somewhere nearby. He passes better than Vick did too. He's absolutely got star potential; bust potential as well though if it doesn't all come together.

“I was at an airport,” he said. “UCLA’s volleyball team was in front of me. You heard so much about Rosen. He’s this or that. We all know how people talk.

“So I asked one of the volleyball coaches, ‘What’s Rosen like?’ He said, ‘Aaaaa, you should probably ask his girlfriend. She’s one of the players. She’s over there.’

“I’m like, ‘All right coach. That’s good enough.’

I just hope the Ravens don't try to use Lamar as a trick play dude while they flounder along with Flacco.

Like the biggest problem with the super athletic dudes is getting the talent crippled out of them, so at least wait until he's the QB before that happens.

The Ravens preseason games are going into the "must watch" category for the first time in over a decade, that's for sure. I can't wait to see what happens with that.

In like five years when Lamar is awesome and Sony Michel is in a wheelchair that pick is going to be on a lot of "biggest draft blunder" lists.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/23373088/nfl-not-considering-eliminating-kickoffs-2018-season

The NFL is reworking kickoffs and is going to have a brainstorm meeting with special teams coaches and players. They are not going to eliminate it as some thought they might. It's pretty vague now, but what they're aiming for is something closer to a punt (maybe it will literally be a punt) where there is less full contact preceded by running starts and more one on one blocking that begins down the field. So it seems like it will be a distance/formation change of some kind. I kinda like it, I love kickoffs but they're on the knife edge of totally irrelevant and extremely dangerous which is not good. Hopefully they can fix it so that there is still plenty of excitement but fewer injuries and fewer touchbacks.

That's fine, but if you're going to change poo poo for the 2018 season, hey maybe do that before free agency and the draft.

Not that anyone's really going all in on kick returners or whatever, but this changes the value of a bunch of random backups that might suddenly not have roster spots.

that’s what supposedly gave Mike Hughes some value for the Vikings. I mean, he seemed well regarded anyway but his more immediate value on a DB rich team like Minnesota would be in the return game.

Never. If anything the trends is towards more specialization. Especially if/when they make the rosters bigger.
