Pork shoulder, rice &beans, cornbread, etc…. Going to be drunk with Tom Collins and Paulaner.

You should check out the cornhole competitions. I heard it gets pretty intense when they’re deep in their season.

Big difference between the two isn’t Brady. It’s that if the Pats came out and the safeties and LBers aren’t biting on playaction McDaniels will go run heavy until the defense sells out to stop it. Of course NE always had the Oline to do that, so…. 🤷‍♂️

Moss and Singletary offer different attributes as pass blockers. Moss is substantially better if you have a DE break free on the edge or a blitzing secondary player. Where Singletary shines is being able to jump between gaps to assist with interior pressure. Singletary is going to be devalued on analytic sites compared to Moss as his strengths aren’t really noticed by the mathheads. He’s too small to stonewall a DT, but he can jump across the formation, get a hat on a DT and buy Allen a second to throw or scramble. Most RBs don’t possess that skill set.

The first three are related, and it’s difficult to put too much on the oline when the Steelers could just tee off every play. It makes the oline’s job infinitely more difficult. That said, Dawkins likely isn’t recovered from his bout with Covid (he might benefit from a 1-2 weeks off), and our guards aren’t better than average. The later is a cause for concern since we can’t improve the roster mid season without a trade. However, those deficiencies can be masked and/ reduced with excellent playcalling. Same goes with Josh’s jitters and early game energy. Starting the game with 11 or 21/12 (not sure what to call Gilliam) personnel with PA and a more balanced play sheet will not only allow Josh to settle in, but will force defenses to play more honestly which should (in theory) make it easier on the guards.

Unfortunately the best back on the roster at that (and pass blocking) wasn’t active today…. There were a whole lot of coaching decisions that just don’t “add up” in many ways.

These rookies are going to have a heck of a time with the noise Sunday. I’m wondering if there’s an over/under for the number of false starts.

Watt ertainly isn’t on Minister/Bruce level….. but we paid Mario Williams an asinine amount. It’s what happens with these contracts when push comes to shove. They’re gonna have to deal with Fitzpatrick next.

Chad Kelly. 🤦‍♂️ as well.

Ko Simpson IIRC

Stadium view and anduzzi’s will likely have it on since it’s not at the same time as the packers game. Most places will accommodate a bills game if they have plenty of screens. Packers fans in GB are generally interested in the Bills as we’re the “other small market” team to them. Plus…. Midwest and Josh Allen.

Funny. I feel the same way about Jesus.

The craziest position in the NFL no longer exists. Older fans will remember the…. “wedge buster”. Nothing quite the same as running full speed for 30-40 yards, turning yourself into a psycho bowling ball, barreling into 3-5 240-280 pounders. The reward for success? Barreling into second flesh wall 20 yards behind that one. Outside of that, gotta go with QB due to the mental aspect coupled with having a target on your back every play.

Yes. You need at least 2-3 of an accurate QB with a arm strong enough to through deep outs on a rail, a receiver who can stretch the defense, a TE or slot receiver that can exploit the seam, an excellent PA offense, and a third option that can beat a 1:1. Chiefs have four, and after what they did in the regular season we had to respect their ground game as well. Basically, you have to outrun the LBer and force the CB and safety to make choices. Allen & Co are also capable of exploiting this. The kicker is that you need time to get to the intermediate depths, so a dominant pass rush can kill any offensive play against palms.

The Double A gap comes from Fritz Shurmur. Jim Johnson learned it (along with the big nickel) from him in Arizona. It’s a 4-3 variation of Shurmur’s “eagle defense”. LeBeau started incorporating it when the Steelers got Kevin Greene. It’s actually kind of fascinating to track the evolution of some of these schemes.

Odds on a T Johnson pick six?

Before or after 2am?

My dream is that the phins trade all their assets for the guy, wreck Tua’s confidence, then the FBI investigation makes the whole thing a catastrophic trade for Miami.

For sure. Mahomes cannot hit the deep out with the same strength and trajectory as JA. That a serious metric for arm strength. Mahomes is #2 there.

It’s easier to connect on those when you have a receiver who can outrun everyone to open green and a TE who can win contested catches like no other. The combination creates space on its own. That said, we’ll see if Allen makes another developmental leap.

Billion dollar corporations generally pick up the phone for other billion dollar corporations. Chapek will pick up if Pegula calls.

Peppers was definitely a better natural athlete. What’s interesting was where his game went when a bit of that athleticism started to fade (Bears/Packers). He started utilizing his length more to make plays. It was an evolution of a wiley veteran. Now, I’m not sure how much of that was him switching to a two point stance and needing to utilize length because the leverage points changed. It’s absolutely worth watching some of those Bears and Packers highlights to see how Rousseau can dominate with length; dragging down RBs from behind while running the arc, tipped passes, etc. Thing is though, Rousseau needs to develop some counter moves in order to maximize his length as a weapon.

IMO. More like an extremely raw Julius Peppers when he slimmed down to play in a 3-4. The sack and play after you can see repeatedly in Peppers highlights. 🤞🏼 that this kid develops into something remotely close to that.

Exactly. Getting that level of production would be decent value for a late second round pick. I doubt anyone would have complained much about Lawson if he was picked where Basham was.

Nah. He just needs to check his work. Bezos would be close to broke if he gave every citizen $615.
