Great way to start this Blue Friday with our weekly @sandonfl.bsky.social visit. Mike and I talked about why this game vs the Texans is bigger than many realize and why he thinks John Schneider is the early Exec of the Year favorite.

Also in Pick Six today: comparing last four #eagles OCs thru six games calling plays ... plus historic comps for Saquon Barkley, who is on pace for 46% of last year's rushing production
#jets also fully guaranteed $10 million of Justin Fields' salary ... in 2026
Flip side to this is, you get fuller buy-in from a couple key players
Should the Jets regret the lucrative extensions they handed out to Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner?

A rival exec weighed in to
@sandonfl.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/670...
It's not enough for the #jets to be bad. Rodgers and Darnold also have to be good, along with the rival #patriots and while we're at it did we mention Todd Bowles is 5-1?

Pick Six column for Week 6 leads with the 0-6 #jets but packs in much much more

Same old Jets? Why the 0-6 start is especially difficult to stomach: Pick Six
Few people expected the Jets to be good, but watching the rival Patriots and Aaron Rodgers' Steelers winning only exacerbates the misery.

The Eagles look vulnerable. Minnesota looks regretful. @sandonfl.bsky.social and I talked about the state of the NFC, and where the Seahawks fit in the picture. I also played my exclusive interview with John Benton.

Bill Walsh was almost the first coach of the Seahawks. Dave Boling and @sandonfl.bsky.social L spun their marvelous tales of years gone by and provided their usual keen insights into this version of the Seahawks and the NFC West.

Not pictured, but in the column: Pretty amazing #chargers chart
Also, about Joe Burrow's availability ...
Also, I explain why I'm higher on the #eagles than the exec quoted here...
Oh, and about those #NFL coaches publicly saying they have no issue with Tom Brady's dual role--yeah, right!!
Anything stand out about how the #vikings have collected their 23 victories during the Brian Flores era?

Howie Roseman and the Eagles weaponize their cap room like no other NFL team.

Is it an anomaly? Or a blueprint for the future?

“I’m not sure New England believes that salary-cap management is a strategic area,” one exec said.

Of course, different teams have different tolerances for risk
This makes Philly one of the more admired organizations
