Episode notes
Tush Push Survives With Kelce's Help
- The Tush Push play remains legal thanks to Jason Kelce's powerful advocacy among owners.
- Its effectiveness depends greatly on the Eagles' unique combination of a dominant offensive line and Jalen Hurts' strength.
NFL Contracts Prioritize Flexibility
- NFL contracts differ vastly from MLB and NBA with less guaranteed money due to higher injury risk.
- This structure benefits teams by allowing flexibility to exit contracts if players underperform or get injured.
Balance Quarterback and Team Building
- In rebuilding teams, balance taking quarterback swings with other roster improvements.
- Don’t rush costly signings without thorough evaluation of all potential quarterbacks on roster.
