As a teenager:

- was a drug addict and alcoholic
- committed crimes and arrested multiple times
- spent time in jail
- parents kicked him out
- his HS lacrosse coach gave him a place to stay
- enrolled at the JUCO level
- became the top JUCO offensive lineman, went to Utah and became a first round pick

So you know the story, lol. Didn’t want to belabor on here. Yes, he’s come a long way. Easy, easy guy to root for.

Its the staggering truth in regards to ADHD. Those diagnosed are often quite talented, yet if steered the wrong way, can wind up in trouble.

THIS was my takeaway.

Here’s the list of their rushes:

Dobbins: 8 carries for 36
Harvey: 3 carries for 18
Franklin: 1 carry for 5

That's 4.9 yards per carry. It was there for them if they were patient with it. Probably would’ve been a good idea with how much they struggled with KC’s blitz packages.

Yes, and they’ve proven they can be a great rushing offense (and stay committed to it). Through week 10, Dobbins was 5th in the league in rushing before he got hurt.

Monday Night was just first-year coordinator disarray.

Dave and Bennie are awesome, two of the best commentators in Denver in my opinion. Dave is a legendary HS coach out here as well…

Zac Stevens is good too from time to time. However, he sometimes talks loudly and sounds lousy.

Dave is very on-point with the analysis. And while Benny was never the most buzzworthy player (he was good), his 2pt conversion in the SB I won’t take for granted.

Sean Payton is 31-31 in September for his entire career.

After September he is 153-78.

True.

Also, I kind of think people went into the KC game thinking they weren’t good. Well, they’re very good.

Jacksonville is very good too. In their last 9 reg season games, they’re 9-0 with a +177 plus minus. No other team is even +100.

You’re not playing teams like Cleveland here.
