Rob Gronkowski hosting LA Bowl
Rob Gronkowski is hosting the LA Bowl, which holds a special significance for him as it is the same bowl game he played in during his last game at the University of Arizona. He will be promoting the game and bringing an energetic atmosphere to the event. Additionally, Gronkowski will be performing the national anthem, seeking tips on how to deliver a great rendition. He also shares that he received interest from teams during the offseason, including the Giants and the Raiders, but ultimately decided not to pursue a comeback. Finally, Gronkowski reflects on his career and the possibility of being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Philadelphia Eagles struggle to stop the run
The Philadelphia Eagles have been unable to effectively stop the run, largely due to communication issues at the linebacker position. The lack of recognition and pre-snap understanding from linebackers has resulted in opposing teams exploiting them on the ground. They need players like Shaq Griffin to provide leadership and help improve their run defense.
The decline of the New England Patriots
Bart Scott enjoys watching the decline of the New England Patriots, particularly Bill Belichick. He believes that the Patriots' success was largely due to Tom Brady, and now that Brady is gone, the team is struggling. Scott predicts that the Patriots will be stuck in mediocrity for the foreseeable future, as Belichick has not shown an ability to develop and groom quarterbacks to replace Brady effectively. Scott also believes that Belichick's reputation as a genius coach may start to take a hit as the team continues to struggle.
