Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!After waiting 172 days, we finally got an NFL game on Thursday night and it was amazing. Sure, it was a little boring and somewhat sloppy and, yes, we got subjected to three straight hours of football, but it was still football, which is better than no football. Coming up in today's newsletter, we'll be looking at the good, the bad and the ugly from the ' 27-11 win over Jacksonville, plus we'll be giving you an early preview of this weekend's Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony in Canton, Ohio.As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. All you have to do is . Let's get to the rundown. 1. Today's show: NFC South burning questionsFor the past week-and-a-half on the podcast, we've been previewing each NFL division by asking several burning questions that each team needs to answer before the start of the season. For today's episode, I joined Will Brinson and we spent roughly 45 minutes trying to answer every burning question we could think of for each NFC South team. Although the seem like a lock to win the division, even they have a few questions. For instance, will finally regre s? Will Todd Bowles actually be a good coach? Can they overcome the lo s of and three starting offensive linemen (, , Ryan Jensen)?Besides the Buccaneers, the other three teams have plenty of questions and one of the biggest questions in the NFC South is: Can deliver a big season for the ?Brinson says no."I am hesitant to think that Jameis Winston is going to step in this season off an ACL injury and magically be this efficient quarterback that everyone wants him to be, and let's not forget, he won't have Sean Payton like he did last year . I don't think Jameis is going to do what people think he's going to do." I actually agreed with pretty much everything Brinson said about Winston. With Payton as his coach, Winston played well in two games last season, but was very average in the other five. Not only is Payton gone, but the Saints might be mi sing one of their best offensive players to start the season and that's . The running back is involved a legal situation that could lead to a suspension -- he was back in February -- and if he's out an extended period of time, I think that will be devastating for both Winston and the Saints' offense.Anyway, Brinson and I actually answered THREE questions about EACH team in the NFC South and if you want to hear those answers, you'll have to listen to the entire episode,. If you prefer getting your D'Angelo Russell Jersey podcasts in video form, you can watch . 2. Hall of Fame Game: Recapping the Raiders' blowout win over the JaguarsWe won't di sect the entire game here -- because no one wants that -- but we will take a brief look at the good, the bad and the ugly from the Raiders' 27-11 win. GOODJosh McDaniels played to win.This was a homecoming game for McDaniels -- he was raised Jarrett Culver Jersey in Canton, Ohio -- and there was no way he was going to lose. The crazy thing about this game is that McDaniels actually decided to play several starters. Although we didn't see star players like and , we did see , and . McDaniels also sent out several of his starters on the offensive line. With so many starters in, this was a big reason the Raiders got off to such a hot start on offense, scoring on each of their first three po se sions, which included two field goals from and an 8-yard TD run from . shines for Raiders. The Raiders rookie running back, who was taken in the fourth round this year, looked like a player who could end up being a steal. White totaled 85 yards in the game with 11 carries for 52 yards, plus three catches for 23 yards. Not only did he have a nifty 14-yard run, but he also had no problem turning into a human bulldozer and plowing through Jaguars players on shorter runs. was one of the few bright spots for Jacksonville.The No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft showed . In his short time on the field, not only did Walker pre sure the QB multiple times, but he also (The Jaguars' defense totaled five sacks in the game). If you're the Jaguars, this was exactly what you wanted to see from Walker in his first NFL action.BADThe game got delayed.The fourth quarter of the Hall of Fame Game is usually unwatchable due to the fact that most NFL fans have never heard of any players on the field and it becomes even harder to watch when it's being played at midnight. Due to lightning in the area, the start of the game got delayed for 40 minutes, which means things didn't kick off until nearly 8:45 p.m. ET. The game then lasted nearly three hours, pushing it to nearly midnight. I would like everyone to know that I watched the entire game just so I could write about it in this newsletter. UGLYThe Jaguars looked like the Jaguars.The Jaguars are the Jaguars because they regularly make embarra sing mistakes and we saw a few of those on Thursday night. Offensively, we saw the Jags lose a fumble in the first half and then fail on a fourth-and-1 in the second half due to a fumble by quarterback . We also saw Doug Pederson call for a 60-yard field goal attempt, which of course, was not succe sful. Defensively, the Jags got steamrolled by the Raiders, who rushed for 159 yards on 33 attempts. The Jags also had .For more takeaways from the game, . 3. Hall of Fame induction going down this weekend: Here's what you need to knowIf you're planning to watch the Hall of Fame induction ceremony this weekend, you better make sure your schedule is open around lunch time on Saturday because that's when the ceremony will be going down. After years of holding the enshrinement ceremony in prime time, this year's event will start at noon ET. The Hall of Fame's Cla s of 2022 consists of eight people, including six players, one coach and one contributor. Here's the order of induction for the ceremony, which will air on ESPN and NFL Network:1. LeRoy Butler2. Sam Mills3. Richard Seymour4. Art McNally5. Tony Boselli6. Bryant Young7. Cliff Branch8. Dick VermeilOf the eight inductees, two of them are no longer alive (Sam Mills and Cliff Branch). Due to that fact, Mills' wife, Melanie, will speak on his behalf while Branch's sister, Elaine, will give a speech to honor her brother. If you want to read more about this year's Hall of Fame cla s, . 4. update: Roger Goodell selects former New Jersey attorney general to hear NFL's appealThe Deshaun Watson case is inching toward a resolution and it took a giant step forward on Thursday when Roger Goodell officially appointed the person who will be in charge of hearing the NFL's appeal.Here's everything you need to know about where the case currently stands:Roger Goodell appoints Peter C. Harvey to hear the appeal. Goodell could have put himself in charge of hearing the appeal, but instead he stepped aside to let Harvey handle things. The former New Jersey attorney general will now have the final say on the matter. According to the collective bargaining agreement, whatever Harvey decides will be final and binding.Why Goodell chose Harvey. The former federal prosecutor has plenty of ties to the NFL. For one, he currently serves on the league's diversity advisory committee. Also, and probably more importantly, this Kevin Garnett Jersey isn't the first time Harvey has been designated to handle a decision like this for the league. According to ESPN, Harvey "was one of four members of an expert panel that reviewed the league's domestic violence investigation into ." Harvey former Washington GM Scot McCloughan and the team. Harvey sided with the team in that dispute, which means both his past rulings have been favorable to the NFL.What's next for Watson. The quarterback's legal team has until the end of today to file a response to the NFL's appeal. This isn't anything they have to do, but it would make sense for them to do it. Watson's camp could use the response to point out why the NFL's appeal is flawed and they could also use it to argue that their client should only serve six games because that was a punishment that an independent disciplinary officer came up with.What's the timeline? The NFL originally said it wanted to have this all wrapped up before the started training camp on July 26, but that didn't happen. The Browns play their first preseason game next week and you have to think that the league would like to have the appeals proce s finished by then. Basically, we'll likely see a decision at some point next week and it would be surprising if we haven't heard something by next Friday at the latest.Watson is allowed to play in the preseason. As things stand right now, Watson is allowed to practice with the team and participate in preseason games and that's exactly what's going to happen. According , the Browns are definitely planning to play Watson during the preseason.As for Derrick Rose Jersey the NFL's appeal, one thing that's still on the table is a po sible settlement. Watson , but he might be more open to something like that now that the NFL is in control of the case. If there's no settlement and Watson's suspension ends up getting extended by the NFL, there's a very real chance that this case could end up in federal court, but we won't cro s that bridge until we get to it. 5. sound slightly concerned about elbow painIf you're an NFL team, the last thing you want to see in training camp is your quarterback taking time off due to a sore arm, but that's exactly what's happening in Los Angeles with Matthew Stafford. The Super Bowl-winning quarterback has had a nagging right elbow injury all offseason and despite getting a lot of rest, it still hasn't gone away. According , Stafford got an injection into his elbow at some point this offseason, but it hasn't quite been the cure the Rams were hoping for.Stafford didn't throw during OTAs or minicamp and the Rams were hoping that rest would help the elbow heal, but so far, that hasn't been the case. Here's what we know about the injury:It might be tendinitis. According , Stafford is battling tendinitis. Rams coach Sean McVay was asked about the po sibility that it's tendinitis and he deflected the question. "I don't know what you would really call it," McVay said Thursday, via team transcripts. "I just know the elbow i sue and I'm not a doctor." If it is tendinitis, that's not ideal for the Rams, because even if Stafford starts to feel better, it could still flare up at any point.McVay is going to give it one or two more weeks before he starts to get concerned. "I've seen things that are encouraging with Stafford ," McVay said. "But I think it'll give us a better idea probably about a week, two weeks from now, to really just say, 'Okay, is this getting the results that we want? And then are we going to start going back to a normal workload or what does that really look like leading up to Sept. 8?'"McVay admits this isn't a normal injury for a quarterback. "It is a tricky deal and you want to make sure that you're getting with the right people that are experts in this field," McVay said. "It's a little bit abnormal for a quarterback, some of this stuff is things that MLB pitchers deal with, so it is something that we're kind of learning about on the fly and his feedback."Those are definitely not things you want to hear your head coach say about your starting quarterback with le s than five weeks to go before the opener. At this point, it makes sense that the Rams aren't overly concerned -- because Stafford has plenty of time to heal -- but I would be at least somewhat concerned if I were them. Stafford has had all offseason to heal and he's still dealing with the injury, which means there's no guarantee that it's going to be healed in time for the Rams' opener against the on Sept. 8. 6. Rapid-fire roundup: says taking a psychedelic drug helped him win MVPIt's been a wild 24 hours in the NFL, and since it's nearly impo sible to keep track of everything that happened, I went ahead and put together a roundup for you.Aaron Rodgers reveals the secret behind his recent succe s.We don't talk about psychedelic drugs often in this newsletter, but we are today thanks to Rodgers. The QB says he went to South America and took Ayahuasca, and apparently, taking the psychedelic completely changed his life. If you want to know more about this wild story, . returns to practice. Le s than eight months after tearing his ACL, the Buccaneers receiver on Friday. Godwin likely won't be playing in any preseason games, but the fact that he was out there practicing definitely had to be encouraging for the Buccaneers.Tom Brady mi ses practice.Although Godwin was at practice, he didn't have Brady throwing him the ball and that's because Brady wasn't there. The 45-year-old was . This marks the third straight day and second straight practice that Brady has been out. Brady didn't practice on Wednesday and the Buccaneers were off Thursday. leaves practice. More Buccaneers news? Yup, more Buccaneers news. Although the Bucs got Godwin back, the trade off is that that they lost Mike Evans. The receiver and it's not clear yet how serious the injury might be or if it's even serious at all. Saints to sign . After a three-year hiatus, Kiko Alonso is back in the NFL. According , the linebacker is expected to sign with the Saints this week. Alonso has played with four NFL teams since being drafted in the second round by the Bills in 2014.
