  • Why Bill Belichick is an Absolute Genius, Again

    Why Bill Belichick is an Absolute Genius, Again

    Belichick is back in hopes of accomplishing a final comeback story with the North Carolina Tar Heel program. Much like Belichick over the past couple years, UNC has wanted to restructure things and one of them is add Jordan Hudson, daughter of a parental bankrupt business in 2000.

    Now, Hudson is not bankrupt with the current situation laid in front of her. In fact, this is a wise decision for Belichick to test his strengths and abilities as a head coach and terms off the field with a pro-style QB recruit such as Bryce Baker.

    Trust me when I tell you. Baker will not scavenger hot potato emerging out of the oven in terms of a stylistic offense and where the landscape of college football has been interestingly going. Pro-style is the blueprint of what it is to come not only with Belichick but the entire landscape.

    By the time college season commences, players and teams will have an opportunity to see North Carolina. The returning offensive linemen are the type that will provide Belichick the jolt he feels off the sideline but wide receiver is the questioning part.

    There was not much productivity last year at that UNC football position but they did recruit Adrian Wilson out of Pflugerville, TX and he will be favorably good. This team will be prided on its offense and improving defensively, especially in the media until patience starts to become a key virtue.

  • Is Cam Ward Geno Smith 2.0?

    Is Cam Ward Geno Smith 2.0?

    Cam Ward is a talented player. No doubt about it out of Miami U in fact most good players emerge out of MIA.

    Regardless, what remains is how good and elusive speed wise Ward is going to be on the ground. He will translate to a big arm down the slot but what is most concerning is his track record of inconsistencies on the field with his delivery ala Geno Smith.

    Geno Smith talked a good game in the past but like many of the quarterbacks that came before and after him is his ability to scramble and throw with accurate delivery of maturing.

    The only difference between Ward and Smith is one can really scramble but the other can always plant feet first and throw without jeopardizing a side-arm.

    Decision-making and mobility will ultimately decide the outcome of Ward as we enter the 2025 NFL Draft Combine and what is the most intriguing option is stability in the pocket.

    Imagine a Cam having a multitude of ways of scanning the field. Well, that is not the case with Ward. He must stay un-throttled and play to his strengths.

  • Notre Dame Overcomes Georgia in Sugar Bowl

    Notre Dame Overcomes Georgia in Sugar Bowl

    My condolences go out to the families of Bourbon Street. On, New Year’s Day 3 CT it was graphic, and then decided the Sugar Bowl would be postponed.

    Fast forward to a day after, Notre Dame won their first major bowl game since the Cotton Bowl and will now be advancing to the subsequent round. As mentioned on YouTube, the Irish would be ruthless on defense as they did not allow many rushing yards in the first half. They allowed 10.

    They further progressed by opening the scoring margin to 20-3 and coach Marcus Freeman humiliated what was to come from backup quarterback Gunnar Stockton who started in place of NFL prospect Carson Beck.

    The final score was 23-10 and everyone turned out safe. Again, prayers are with the families suffering, and let’s avoid this in the name of sports.

  • Is Bill Belichick for Real?

    Is Bill Belichick for Real?

    Bill Belichick is an NFL Hall of Famer. One day, he will be cemented with the John Madden’s, Don Shula’s, Vince Lombardi’s, etc. The only situation is, he has accomplished it all in the NFL and is now reportedly aiming to meet with the North Carolina football program and fill in for another legendary coach only in the collegiate ranks, Mack Brown.

    That would be a prestigious honor.

    But, what has Belichick resorted to more recently besides mark goodbye to his job in New England? He has not worked for Fox. He has not undergone an ownership position with the Raiders or dealt with additional activities other than talk football with he Manning brothers every Monday night and Pat McAfee.

    This is an individual who casually walks around in a sweatsuit and supposedly has a cheerleading girlfriend but accepting the job at North Carolina, would be no problem.

    Belichick probably intended to make one season last, for fans to view an ultimate legend call the X’s and O’s on ESPN and soon devastate college football on the network. He has accomplished everything there is.

  • Dylan Raiola Earns Starting QB Position

    Dylan Raiola Earns Starting QB Position

    Nebraska named Dylan Raiola its starting QB less than two weeks from their season opener against UTEP.

    Raiola performed very well during the spring game, just enough to appeal to the Huskers coaching staff and be better than his predecessor Heinrich Haarberg who played poorly inside the FBS rankings of quarterbacks last year.

    Raiola was highly recruited by Georgia and Texas and decided to play for coach Matt Rhule instead. A bit of anticipation is that he will become the first true freshman to lead the Huskers to a nice total offense record since Aidan Martinez.

  • Carson Beck’s Job’s on the Line

    Carson Beck’s Job’s on the Line

    Carson Beck played solidly throughout the day against UT Martin, an FCS school. So much so he converted 21 of 31 attempted passes and gained 294 yards through the air to go with a 158.1 passer rating. Tremendously well done by the Jacksonville, FL native, but the real obstacle lies in the fact that he threw one touchdown and did not seemingly treat this as a game like the defense limiting a total of seven points to Martin.

    Kyron Jones had a sensational 26-yard interception return, and sophomore Malaki Starks finished with the most total tackles (8). Georgia’s defense held their gold mark last year, limiting teams to 14 points per game. They provided a considerable start without Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, and Kelee Ringo.

    But the problem does not rest there. Kendall Milton performed well with 9 carries on 5.9 yards per carry and so did Brock Vandagriff.

    Vandagriff, the redshirt sophomore, completed one of his first passes, and boy was it a doozy. It was so good that he converted on a long touchdown pass and later to the backup of tight end Brock Bowers. In the third quarter, Vandagriff had a lot to show for and he keeps proving it against Carson Beck and freshman Gunner Stockton, the physically gifted quarterback has a ceiling like not many other four star Georgian quarterback prospects.

    Carson Beck could have accumulated as many points as Oregon, 81, this Labor Day weekend but did not. The question remains: Is there a bullseye on Carson Beck’s back to win or play for the number one ranked team in the nation: Georgia?

  • Utah Defeats Florida in a Crushing Outing

    Utah Defeats Florida in a Crushing Outing

    Oh, Utah did not fail to disappoint without starting. Quarterback Cam Rising and freshman Nate Johnson. Bryson Barnes began a hot start and threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to vast receiver-x Money Parks. They both were money on Florida double coverage despite connecting only once.

    Transfer Graham Mertz looked to overcome the odds and resort to the ground game, which hardly established momentum in 17 yards of 19 rushing attempts. It was certainly not a better day for special teams either as within the first opportunity of the game to redeem points from a crucial Barnes capitalizing lead, Florida missed a field goal sending it with mere seconds to also punt off a illegal defensive substitution penalty electing the Utes choice to run it for a score by Johnson this particular time.

    The Florida Gators are hosting Tennessee in a couple weeks so as many pundits want to say their season is over. It is not. And if it is they have coach Billy Napier and staff to look forward to the 2024 class.

    But for now, Utah is looking steady with a 1-0 record, considering their first loss at Florida in 2022. The defense played great, sacking Mertz five times, and expect the Utes to face their most challenging game and rivalry between USC and Caleb Williams on October 21.
