Former New York Giants Running Back Rashad Jennings Praises Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston Signings
The New York Giants, for the first time since Daniel Jones' best days, can feel good about their situation under center. In the short term, Russell Wilson presents a massive upgrade over Jones and the cohort of passers that followed him during last year's 3-14 campaign. In April, the Giants traded back into Round 1 to secure the rights to Mississippi's Jaxson Dart. Advertisement In between them is Jameis Winston, who signed a two-year deal to be the second-string quarterback while adding to Dart's supporting cast. New York is positioned to be far more competent, if not competitive, than a season ago. As such, fans aren't alone in their excitement for the upcoming season. Former Giants running back Rashad Jennings praised their quarterback signings on 'Good Morning Football.' 'Jameis Winston -- he is the morale of the locker room. He is the positive energy. He is the voice, the veteran that teaches these guys how to become pros. While who is doing the work? That is Russell Wilson collaborating with one of the greatest receivers (Malik Nabers)," Jennings said. "So I think you have to start with Russ.' Advertisement Jennings spent the final three years of his career in New York, from 2014–2016. He rushed 543 times for 2,095 yards and 10 scores and played a role on the 2016 team that made the playoffs. It isn't immediately clear just how long Wilson's leash is, or if Winston would step in before Dart. The rookie is expected to have a redshirt season of sorts, although accelerated development or catastrophe could throw a wrench into those plans. By signing two quality veterans, New York ensured that it could play Dart on its terms. A pulled hamstring or twisted ankle won't force the rookie into action when he's ready, and their two decades of experience only add to the factors working in Dart's favor. There is always uncertainty with a rookie quarterback entering the fold, but the Giants and their fans are right to be optimistic that, finally, they are handling a delicate situation appropriately.

Eagles rival doubles down after previous statements about the Tush Push
Eagles rival doubles down after previous statements about the Tush Push Weeks after trash-talking the Eagles over the Tush Push, Frankie Luvu doubles down on his assertion that the play should be banned 'Cheapo'... That's how Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu described the Philadelphia Eagles' tush push. Months after one of the most bizarre and embarrassing sequences of the youngster's career, he was still angry and throwing darts during an appearance on NFL Network's Good Morning Football. "My personal opinion? I think they should ban it, but I know the argument's going to be about, 'Hey, you guys have to stop it. Don't get us in short yardage,' and whatnot, but it's kind of like a cheapo play... That's pretty much a scrum in rugby." Don't take anyone else's word for it. Take a look and listen for yourself. For those who may be unaware, Frankie's theory stems from the fourth quarter of the most recent NFC Championship Game, one where he was penalized on three consecutive snaps during a goal-to-go situation. Philadelphia lined up for the Brotherly Shove. Luvu attempted to guess the snap count. He was wrong... Three times... That led to one of the greatest (and most unexpected) calls in NFL history. Referee Shawn Hochuli finally issued his stark warning. "Washington has been advised that, at some point, the referee can award a score if this type of behavior happens again." Luvu chilled, Philadelphia scored on the next play, and stretched their lead to 41-23 with just over 12 minutes remaining. Four months have passed. It appears that Frankie is still angry. Frankie Luvu doubles down on his complaints of the Eagles' tush push. As we turn the calendar from May to June, much has changed since Philadelphia throttled the Commanders in the most recent NFC Championship Game. The league tried to ban the Eagles' infamous play. The Birds found nine allies to vote with them, and that ensured the tush push is still a legal play for the 2025 NFL season. Roger Goodell sounds salty, stating, "We'll see how it plays out this season.' Luvu has also doubled down, as he was still answering questions about this when the Commanders began OTAs. "I said what I said... You all caught that, right? It's easy to see what he meant. For now, the conversation doesn't seem like it's ending. Philadelphia sees its secret weapon as legalized aggression and flawless execution. Luvu and others know a rugby scrum and refuse to give the Eagles credit for mastering a legal play. There's one way to settle this: when Philadelphia and Washington renew unpleasantries on the gridiron. Mark those calendars. They meet in Week 16 and Week 18. Dates and times of those games have yet to be determined. One thing is sure. There isn't a Birds fan walking who won't be paying attention.

Chase Edmonds gushes with praise for Broncos rookie RB RJ Harvey
Chase Edmonds gushes with praise for Broncos rookie RB RJ Harvey The Denver Broncos drafted RJ Harvey in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft earlier this offseason. In a quest to continue to build around sophomore quarterback Bo Nix, the drafting of Harvey is an attempt to further stabilize the running game as a component of head coach Sean Payton's precision pass attack. Chase Edmonds, via NFL Network's 'Good Morning Football,' recently gushed how excited he is for Harvey to join the Broncos. He even warned Broncos Country to get their 'Kool-Aid' ready because Harvey is bringing the 'juice.' "I absolutely love this guy," Edmonds said. "You talk about juice, you talk about the ability to get skinny, get back out to the outside. Broncos Country, let me tell you something right now: Get your Kool-Aid ready, because this brother is bringing the juice." With UCF, Harvey rushed for 1,577 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2024, earning first-team All-Big 12 honors. Hopefully, Harvey can replicate this production in 2025 with Denver.

Commanders' Frankie Luvu on Eagles' tush push: 'We just got to stop it'
Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu was the talk of the NFL during January's NFC championship game. In an effort to stop the Eagles' famous "tush push," Luvu attempted to time Philadelphia's snap count, which led to him jumping over the line of scrimmage multiple times, drawing multiple penalties — and a warning. Unsurprisingly, when the NFL considered banning the tush push, everyone wanted Luvu's reaction. Advertisement "Man, uh (pause), my personal opinion? I think they should ban it," Luvu said earlier this month during an episode of Good Morning Football. "I know the argument is going to be you guys have to stop it. I think they should ban it. It's a cheat code pretty much a scrum in rugby.' Here's the entire sequence from January's game between the Commanders and Eagles. While there was plenty of momentum to ban the play, the Eagles won, with enough teams siding with them. However, NFL teams could revisit the issue next year. So, with the Eagles allowed to use the tush push again in 2025, what does Luvu think? Advertisement "Uh...I'm just going to stand on, man, we just got to stop it," Luvu told reporters at the Commanders' OTAs this week. "I said what I said, but I just feel like at this point, tush push, whatever, we just gotta stop it. I'm gonna stick to that." What was Luvu supposed to say? Deep down, do you think he cares if the tush push is banned? His mentality is like Dan Quinn's: you must stop it, and every other team faces the same problem. Eagles' fans made Luvu an ultimate villain only because he jumped offsides multiple times to stop the play. Luvu is okay with being the villain. Besides, Philadelphia fans hate almost everyone. Can you imagine the reception Luvu will receive when the Commanders head to Philadelphia at the end of next season? It should be fun.
