Injured players running the 40

Strong hunch
Enjoyed discussion of players running the 40 for scouts despite injury. Lion’s CB Arnold has said that’s why his time was slow last year. What’s your assessment of Arnold so far?
Best addictive NFL pod out there!

Simms (ex-College superstar and NFL QB) and his various co-hosts are hysterical, well informed, and unbelievably accurate in their insights, assessments, and predictions. Simms-isms and Homies rule!!

I love the pod and listen every week! I enjoy listening to game break downs through the eyes of a quarterback. One thing that does drive me slightly crazy as a fellow giants fan is I think you go wayyyyyy to easy on Jones… you are usually fast to point out when QBs have good box score numbers but leave tons of plays on the field. I think you can point directly to just that when you talk about the loses to Washington, Dallas and Cincinnati. Between the bad ball placement on deep balls to just making the wrong reads it seems like we should have a much better record of jones could make the throws to the open guys that Dabal is giving him! Thanks if you guys read this! Keep up the great work and I’ll always continue to listen!
