Lions experimented with more pony personnel last week. Would not be surprised to see the rare and elusive 20 personnel a few times today
No TE1, TE2, WR4 for the Lions. It's time for Jamo and/or Isaac Teslaa to have a moment. Also, just more Gibbs.

Sometimes I watch old Stafford and marvel that there was legit uncertainty about the guy for a decade. Easy to say now but still!
Woke up thinking about when the Eagles put rookie Eric Rowe on an island with Megatron on Thanksgiving Day š š 8 receptions š 93 yards š 3 TDs King of Thanksgiving Football. https://t.co/ByEP3jqQkg

Ward's far from perfect. He's lackadaisical in the timing of his drops and is too casual in the pocket, but that's less prohibitive stuff and more creases to iron out. Reminds me of Drake Maye last year in that, with league average WRs, this guy would be getting so much buzz.

Another wheel route, this one v. Cover 3. He sees the rotation and is already firing on the back foot of his drop. Again watch how fast he gets his weight in his legs and how his body snaps the ball through his release. He'd kill in a Mike McDaniel-esque offense.

Wheel route on 3rd and 1 PA. Head whips around. Sees single high safety. Resets to the wheel with pressure in his lap. Gorgeous ball.

Cam Ward was so good on Sunday. Watch how fast his throwing motion is once he realizes Proche is gonna be open in the seam. Incredible snap of the lower body. Looks like an infielder firing the ball to first. Throw beats the safety. ++ arm talent right there.

Hampton looked great before the injury. Was up to NFL speed and consistently created missed and broken tackles. Getting a consistent running game would do worlds to help the OTs.
Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh announced the practice window is being opened for RB Omarion Hampton, who has not played since week five against Washington due to an ankle injury.

Steelers rookie DT Derrick Harmon (99) has been just rock steady in the running game. Tons of power and good hands. Absence for this week against the Bills (knee injury) is huge.

The Bears skill positions have dramatically underperformed this year relative to draft capital and price tag. Would not be surprised if Kmet and/or Moore is moved next offseason.
@BenjaminSolak Gotta be honest for all the hype about the Bears skill positions theyve had a lot of really frustrating moments like this. The Giants game was the nadir but its been really frustrating

Ball is on Rome so fast and so early it almost knocks him over. Caleb continues to be much more accurate throwing to some receivers over the MOF (Rome, Loveland) than he is others (Moore, namely)

From @SportsCenter: my thoughts on what the Colts' offensive issues are and why they're here to stay

Really lovely play from 49ers rookie nickel Upton Stout (20, bottom of screen) Gains width on the lead swing but keeps depth (two score game in fourth quarter, aware of situation). Gets his butt to the sideline and opens to the sail. Tracks perfectly.

Good analysis of Shedeur Sandersā debut. Clevelandās offense didnāt do much on a down-to-down basis but thatās no different than the offense under Gabriel. The explosive plays are worth exploring past a one-game sample size.

Iām not really sure. I have to imagine Canales wants to hand more of the offense over to Young to see if he can be the guy. Confidence wasnāt gonna be higher than after that Falcons game.
@BenjaminSolak Ben why didnāt they run the ballā¦š even when the game was close. What were they thinkingā¦
