As much as it is Fitz's wheelhouse, it made sense for us to force Fitz into those quick, short-yardage, mid-field throws. It allowed out backfield to cover for our LBs, and contain the field.

Fitz had a really good game today, too. It wasn't rocket science to know where to attack us, but attack the middle of the field, he did. Oddly, as weak as we were there, and as that is Fitz's wheelhouse, it made sense for us to press his receivers, pressure him on the outside, and force him to make those quick throws. Our backfield was able to stay closer to the LOS, and reasonably contain the middle of the field, and cover for our weakness at LB. I am certain that if Milano, and Edmunds had been healthy, this would have been a blowout.

You shouldn't stretch cold muscles. They're warming up.

Couple of former Patriots* taking Miami? GOOD!

You are right. https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/jj-watt https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/aj-epenesa

C'mon, guys.. glass houses, etc...

If he's healthy, I agree. But, I'd rather have a 100% Tre vs Rams, than a 70% Tre vs Phins.

Can he play multiple positions? Does he have flexibility? Is he on an upward trajectory? How is he in motion? So many questions!

To be expected. That's how he's been used in the rotation all along.

I'm going to scan the condensed Gamepass, and see if I'm not experiencing a selective memory.

You don't think he was much better against the run than he has been in the past? I feel like I saw a distinct improvement, even on the inside.

Out of curiosity, what did you think of his play Sunday?

I'm going with AJ Klein until I see him shift gears.

There really needs to be an eye-roll emoji to go with the like button.🙄

Interesting stat: Mayfield has had more career commercials than career wins.

Apparently, Perine looked good in the scrimmage. By Jets standards, anyway.

Nice form! Mick Foley would be proud!

The majority of them are filmed in front of a live studio audience, including those that don't say it.

Can you name one? I am not aware of a device called a laugh box.

75 of those yards came from Cam Newton on 15 carries. As with us, the QB was the leading rusher for the Pats*. I hope that isn't the case for us vs. Miami. Also, the Pats* air attack was anemic, to say the least. I'm hoping for a more balance offense vs. Miami, with the bulk of the rushing yards going to Motor, not Allen.

I hear ya. I HATED the canned crowd noise. But, just an FYI, I work on sitcoms for a living (I'm a gaffer in Los Angeles), and they are, indeed, filmed in front of a live studio audience. The laughter is, of course, edited. But, it is recorded live, and is real. I'm often impressed with how much the audience gets into it, and will continue to laugh for multiple takes.

Also, D. Phillips, and Dodson, according to the article. So, four out of six of our LBs are day-to-day with injuries. What's a season without a little stress?

I absolutely despised the canned crowd noise.

I think a lot of people, when looking at DT, only really look at the stat line for sacks. Sacks are great, but they're not the only metric. Darnold was pressured all game. Probably the biggest knock on him was that he was constantly fleeing the pocket, and it's true. If the QB is constantly fleeing the pocket, that means the DL are doing their jobs. It also means the defensive tackles, on the inside, are going to have fewer sacks. Ed Oliver may not have looked elite yesterday, but he was by no means a weak link, or a liability. He played really well-- the entire line did. (That includes H. Phillips, IMO, although he didn't really see the field very much, IIRC.)
