Love this comp for Brock Bowers from Scott Turner, who coached him as a rookie
Play action without a play fake? Motion, backfield action, and OL slide get LBs to bite Opens up space for slant Tua is able to get the ball to Waddle on time because he doesn’t have to fake
Cool counter concept by Kellen Moore WR in the backfield, motion him out Fake speed option, pitch to TE running counter
Loved this tidbit about another advantage play action gives young QBs by @coachdancasey.bsky.social Ignore the coverage contour before the snap and read it after the fake.
Bears are one of the few teams that can hop on the Rams 13 personnel trend because they have the play caller and personnel to do it
Please get Mendoza a helmet that fits. No way he can even think in that bucket.
Dillon Thieneman weak side linebacker or safety? His versatility is going to make a DC very happy
Arvell Reese may not be great with bags so here’s a cut up of him winning against humans
Biggest to lowest gap in EPA per drop back in clean pocket vs pressured from 2022-2025 (40 starts minimum)
Hope Jordan Tyson can stay healthy because he looks like he can be star. 6'2 with rare route running ability for a big receiver.
One of Fernando Mendoza’s best reads/throws of the year. Does an outstanding job of reading post snap rotations and finding answers.
Wrote about my top 10 FA scheme fits: Tyler Linderbaum John Franklin-Myers Kenneth Walker Charlie Kolar Mike Evans Malik Willis Jaylen Watson Cade Mays Coby Bryant Jaelen Phillips
Fernando Mendoza’s best throw of the year came from a play that they installed that week and his QB coach Chandler Whitmer shows him a cut up of Justin Herbert executing it
No one is talking about this FA class of fullbacks but there are a couple of juggernauts at the top
Caleb Downs taking on the pulling center and making a tackle. That’s the good stuff
Watching the Bad Bunny performance for the first time on broadcast and love that he highlighted ordinary people but that doesn’t look like a construction worker
The most consistently excellent team all year long fittingly takes home the Lombardi
The Patriots have transformed their identity in the post seasons and it’s fair to question their elite post season production but they do have some natural answers against the Seahawks offense What to watch out for when SEA has the ball: www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...
The Patriots offense has struggled in the post season but they have some potential answers that the Seahawks defense haven’t seen a lot this season that they can press. Link: www.nytimes.com/athletic/701...
Love how intentional Klint Kubiak’s play calls are and how he uses his personnel
Ridiculous dime by Stafford Looked off Ernest Jones (he wasn’t throwing to that run off) Zips it into the tiniest windows between Emmanwori and the CB
