Haven't rewatched the game yet, but a couple of things stand out from watching live. They way this line keeps trucking when there are multiple subs (Opeta, Driscoll) is something no other team in the league could do. Driscoll is probably a meh starter, but an amazing 6th OL who can cover 4...

The Browns would almost certainly have been bad enough with Baker this year, they would have been able to get one of the top QBs in the 2023 class.

Unless the Eagles really struggle with their longest road trip of the season, or play way off their potential they should handle the Cardinals pretty comfortably this week. The Cards are a pretty blitz heavy team and they do a fair bit of coverage disguise and rotation. They’re not especially...

This is a solid racket he has going at this point.

And that he barely contributes in the passing game.

Needs to be reasonable price and limited signing bonus. Guys who struggle with soft tissue injuries in their early 20s rarely get more durable as they get older. Any second RB contract needs to be a year to year deal, basically.

OK Gannon, I’m in.

I see this being a tight game. Hoping the ground game rebounds a bit but Jax have a tough front. Their secondary is less strong though, so Jalen and the big 3 will need to lead. This will be the best offense we’ve faced so far and it’s the kind of high percentage, methodical approach that tore...

Some All 22 Game Notes (all from 1st half): Again, a lot of single high to start out on D, they went more into 2 high, with the usual mixes from that later on. Fletcher Cox looks a lot better this year for 2 reasons, firstly the effort is much better this year, but he’s also being single...

Ben Solak wrote a truly excellent piece on the Ringer about Bengals offensive woes. As they’ve adjusted their pass game to the spread stuff Burrow likes, it’s become disjointed from their run game and is now a massive tell. They line up in gun spread to pass and under center with tight splits...

Great, but he conceded another sack this week. Has great highlights but still chasing consistency.

I have a different view on this than I used to. I blamed coaching for the way Carson regressed, particularly Press Taylor. Seeing how Carson has played after leaving Philly, I don't think that's the case anymore. Doug made some mistakes, staying loyal to veteran players too long like Alshon...

Not for a second, I want Doug to do well, ever week except the next one. Gotta admit I'm following the Jags a bit in the AFC. I actually think there's more danger in a Doug revenge game than the Carson revenge game.

This will be a big week for the run game I think. WAS has good DTs but they are very thin due to injuries. They are also missing Young still at DE. I think start out with wide zone and misdirection to get Allen and Payne on the move before coming back to the inside zone & gap runs later in...

I don’t think they should give up on those because I feel like they’re strong plays in themselves, but also give more reason for a DC to load the box to stop them which can give us more single high looks with big play opportunities. Gotta clean up the ineligible downfield though. Maybe the R...

A lot has been said about the Vikings game so won’t repeat much of that, just point out a few things I noticed. Last year they had Hurts running mostly split or half field reads, with either a route combo on one side only or he decided pre snap which side of the field he’ll work. Seems to have...

Been travelling for work this week so haven’t had time to rewatch the game yet, but here are some thoughts from first viewing Offense: PositIves are there were no turnovers, or even risky throws. I thought Hurts did well taking free yards against m/m coverage, which the Lions played more of...

Really surprising amount of m/m coverage from the Lions, no issue with Hurts taking the yards on the ground vs. this.

I’m going to follow the Jags a bit this year. I want to see Dougie do well, and what he makes of Trevor.

Eagles 27-20 for me. Keys are pressuring Goff (initial typo was Goof :-)) to turn him from basically competent, to turnover prone and inefficient. On O, run the ball and feed the big 3 in the pass game. If the Eagles play to their strengths and execute, the Lions won't be able to match them
