As the NFL has not announced an offseason Hard Knocks team yet- and may not after the Giants debut last season, I asked Giants GM Joe Schoen if he'd gotten calls from other GMs to ask about his experience. "No, I haven't" he said, "but I think I know what I would tell them."

Two Super Bowl officials have only 3 years of NFL officiating experience- different from the previous philosophy, which prioritized officials with at least 5 years exp. Former VP of officiating Mike Pereira said he's surprised by it. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Ben Johnson said he wasn't "emotionally available" to be fully present in his HC interviews last offseason. But this year, he knew he needed a new challenge. "The runway is built [in Detroit]. It doesn't matter who the playcaller is there anymore." h/t Courtney Cronin w/Q

I’ll be interested to see if Ben Johnson can get OL coach Hank Fraley away from Lions. Bears OL was so bad, and Fraley is so good at his job that it would make a lot of sense to hire him as OC. @coltonpouncy.bsky.social reports Lions OL will have something to say lol nytimes.com/athletic/60741…

One thing I know is Ben Johnson is he is intense. Lions OL Dan Skipper told me that he is sure to maintain a five-yard bubble around Johnson at all times during games, b/c, “you're bound to get dog-cussed like nothing you've ever been before.” (1/2)

There are funnier ways to blow a coaching search but hiring a guy just because your GM and him share an agent might be the stupidest one. (By @kalynkahler.bsky.social) www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Did the Vikings expect to actually block a Bears FG the exact way they saw it on the Packers tape this week? Linebacker Pat Jones II: "That's kind of rare, because normally teams will go clean up what they need to clean up. But I just give credit to the group that we have."

Just talked to several Vikings about the FG block. Santo's low kicks came up again. Vikings emphasized getting an inside push bc they knew they could get a block if they did. S Theo Jackson: "We don't really cover too many kickers that have this type of low trajectory..."
