Really enjoyed this series last year and am looking forward to it again!. If you want to put together your own ratings like @whale_capper and @AndyMSFW, here's the template I built last year for you to do so (just make a copy and edit that one):

I considered adding the Opta Analyst TRACR ratings, but looking at them it seems as though they're backwards-looking and aren't intended to be predictive so leaving them out for now.

Karl Smesko has been the single biggest coaching upgrade this year. Doing an incredible job out in Atlanta.
Naz Hillmon made threes this season: 19. Hillmon made threes previous three seasons combined: 1.

Realistically there’s a second tier behind the four Randy mentioned that includes Daniels, Herbert, Stroud, and, depending on what you consider in the ranking (next year vs. next 5 years), Stafford.

Making this a restaurant food thread. Didn’t get the tasting menu, but got to try @chefadjepong’s Elmina brunch yesterday. Oxtail hash and the fried okra hit the spot. Seasoning on the okra was delicious and the level of spice in the hash was perfect. Will def be back!

Made this chart a couple months ago and sharing again because it relates to the convo that Mina & Robert had about Cleveland's defense. Where does Cleveland get pressure from outside of Myles Garrett this year? Mason Graham? Who else?
The Bengals are betting that their new DC, Al Golden, can do a better job coaching up young players. On the AFC North pod, @robertmays and I discussed whether it’ll work. 🎧: 📺:
