Garrett Wilson instinctively going to knock the CBs hands away, hitting nothing because the CB was cooked off the line, and then immediately raising his hand is a thing of beauty
There is a player on the Bears, and he’s just sleep walking out there. We all see it. He plays offense.
I’m not even gonna name him. If you’re watching, you know.
Brandin Cooks is only the 2nd player in NFL history with 1,000+ yard receiving season with 4 different teams and is only 27 years old
We don't talk enough about how insane that is
NCAA season leaders in completion % on non-screens
2019: Joe Burrow 77.2%
2018: Gardner Minshew 69.1%
2017: Baker Mayfield 66.1%
2016: Luke Falk 65.7%
2015: Luke Falk 66.0%
2014: Cody Kessler 67.3%
Burrow is on another level from anyone we've ever graded
Rookies I've watched from yesterday that look like they've got "it" already:
Jalen Carter
Will Anderson
Bijan Robinson
Peter Skoronski
Zay Flowers
Luke Musgrave
Keeanu Benton
Is there anything more indicative of the NFL’s reluctance to embrace analytics than a zillion scouts shooting their own stopwatch at 40s that are already being timed by LASERS?!
The Falcons took a lot of heat for selecting A.J. Terrell over CeeDee Lamb...
But this year Terrell has given up the fewest yards of any starting CB in the NFL (74)
Going from no football for 7 months to Gus Johnson on the call for this Colorado-TCU game is almost too much sensory overload
I think I’m gonna need a cigarette
The Bills, Chiefs, Steelers, Titans, Seahawks, and Packers are all on pace to go 16-0
That would shatter the NFL record for undefeated teams in a season
Percentage of total passing yards from RPO's and Screens last year:
Trevor Lawrence 27.0%
Mac Jones 22.5%
Zach Wilson 12.1%
Trey Lance (2019) 11.2%
Justin Fields 8.5%
Anthony Lynn elaborating on why Tyrod Taylor is still his starter: "There's a lot we didn't get done with Justin on the field yesterday. He's a backup for a reason."
#Chargers
Mahomes is dangerously close to that point where Aaron Rodgers was a few years ago where he thinks he can salvage anything into a big play outside the pocket so he's turning down a lot of realistic opportunities within the structure of the offense
Patrick Mahomes is so good that he made everyone forget that the Chiefs front office cut Justin Houston so they could trade a first round pick for a more expensive replacement, only for the replacement to be worse than Houston has been the last two years
They don’t get a ton of love because you rarely see them on broadcast angle, but Darnell Savage and Adrian Amos have been the secret sauce to the Packers defensive success
Best safety duo in the NFL
Calvin Johnson ran more routes through 11 games of his record-breaking 2012 season (530) than Tyreek Hill is on pace to run in 17 games this year (492)
Unparalleled stuff we're witnessing
Aldon Smith is a certified freak. Hasn't played football in 5 years and leads the NFL in sacks
He could have realistically challenged the all-time sack record without off-field issues
Draft tweet response power rankings:
1. You think you know more than NFL GMs?
2. Jerry Rice ran a 4.7
3. I’ll trust the film
4. You were wrong about [X Player] what do you know?
5. Tom Brady was a 6th rounder
My biggest takeaway from 2 days of the combine:
Whoever is running the initial stopwatch is ELITE
Cant remember a year with smaller discrepancies between unofficial and official times
Fan outside Lambeau Field to Packers President Mark Murphy as he walked in: “When is Aaron going to be here?”
Murphy: “He’s here already.”
Me: “Can I quote you in that?”
Murphy (no response)
