Cale Clinton has written for Football Outsiders since 2017, mainly compiling This Week in Quotes. Despite living in New York nearly his entire life, Cale was spared the burden of New York sports fandom and was raised a Boston fan. He attended Amherst College as an English major and is currently pursuing his master’s degree in Magazine, News, and Digital Journalism at Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communication.
This week, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning discuss leverage and negotiation; Mike Tomlin discusses L.A. job prospects; Sean McVay discusses running back rehab; Mike Leach discusses sugary sweets; and Kyle Shanahan and Pete Carroll discuss starting quarterbacks.
Before April's draft, the consensus opinion on the Cincinnati Bengals said that their offensive line was so bad that it didn't matter who their wide receivers were. Seven weeks into the season, we can say that certainly has not been the case. As for the Ravens, they're still very much alive, but they have serious problems that need addressing.
This week: Patrick Mahomes vs. his own defense, Urban Meyer vs. Trevor Lawrence, and Penn State vs. the Iowa fans. Plus more from the Chargers on fourth downs, and Saquon Barkley and T.Y. Hilton discuss their injuries.
The Raiders, of course, are in disaster mode. But let's not overlook what's happening in Chicago, where an improving Justin Fields and an underrated defense have the Bears looking ferocious.
This week, in an all-timer edition of TWIQ: the Jaguars react to Urban Meyer's social life; Vic Fangio questions John Harbaugh's character; Joey Bosa questions the officials' vision AND Derek Carr's courage; Lamar Jackson talks about his ass; Isaiah McKenzie refuses to give up sex; and Jabrill Peppers gets very excited about a coin flip.
This week: the world prepares for a Brady-Belichick reunion; Matt Nagy mourns a loss while Kyler Murray celebrates a win; Derek Carr talks about his home away from home; Jalen Hurts goes way into TMI territory; and the Manning Brothers talk football.
