3 and Out - Kyler Injury Aftermath, Zach Wilson/Trey Lance Lessons, Mike Leach Legacy, Mailbag
John reacts to the Cardinals losing Kyler Murray to an apparently serious non-contact knee injury, and explains why it's the perfect chance to blow the whole thing up, and why Bill Belichick keeping his talent deficient Patriots - which he built - in playoff contention is one of his best coaching jobs. He also gives his takeaways from a pair of unimpressive Week 14 W's from the Chiefs and Cowboys, what lesson about draft value teams should learn from 2020 QB duds Zach Wilson and Trey Lance.
