This weekend in college football features the matchup of the Duke Blue Devils and Clemson Tigers. While most people who tune in will be focusing on Clemson’s journey to the College Football Playoff, but they will also see likely one of the top quarterback prospects in Duke’s Daniel Jones. Jones has been rising up draft boards and I currently have him as the second quarterback on my draft board. With a strong showing against Clemson, he could be in line to be the first quarterback off the board in the 2019 NFL Draft.

NFL moves Chiefs & Rams game from Mexico City
The NFL has moved the Monday Night game from Mexico City due to poor field conditions at Estadio Azteca. The game will now be played at the LA Coliseum for this first Monday Game game since 1985. I break down why the NFL made the decision to move the game from Mexico City and also dive into what Le’Veon Bell sitting out the remainder of the 2018 season could mean when he hits free agency in the offseason.
Why Bowles is done in New York and what’s next for the Jets
After the New York Jets were embarrassed by the Buffalo Bills at Metlife Stadium, it’s clear that Todd Bowles will be gone at the end of the season. While he is still the head coach at the moment, let’s look at why the Jets are a mess and what the front office needs to do for the 2019 season.
Le’Veon Bell hurting stock by holding out & Sam Darnold injured
On this episode we look at why Le’Veon Bell continuing his holdout is only hurting his stock moving forward and why he should report sooner then later. Then we get to the breaking news that Sam Darnold is injured and will miss his next start. What this means for the Jets and their head coach Todd Bowles.
Breaking: Sam Darnold out for Week 10 with foot injury
According to Ian Rapoport New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold is out for Week 10 with an ankle injury. This means that veteran Josh McCown will be starting under center for the New York Jets when they host the Buffalo Bills.
#Jets QB Sam Darnold is dealing with a foot sprain that will knock him out this week, source said (as @MMehtaNYDN reported). Out, then the bye, and he’ll be assessed on a week-by-week basis.

This will be the first start Darnold will miss in his professional career and comes off the heels of his four interception game against Miami. Darnold appeared to be in a walking boot at Wednesday’s practice and while Darnold has said he is fine, it appears the Jets are protecting their first round investment.
With the Jets bye after the Buffalo game this weekend, it would give Darnold two weeks to heal up before the final stretch of games while at the same time giving him a chance to learn from the sideline.
We will update you on this story as more information becomes available.
As Darnold’s play cools off, the Hot Seat for Todd Bowles just gets hotter
Todd Bowles was on the hot seat coming into this season and it’s only gotten hotter as Sam Darnold has regressed in recent weeks. On top of that Bowles made some questionable decisions in Miami such as keeping center Spencer Long in the game despite multiple bad snaps and then calling out his defense after the game despite giving up only six points.
Check out this episode as I explain what Bowles has to do to keep his job and what coaching candidate I think the Jets should target for their next head coach.
