I like how the Rams don’t have to use Braden Fiske as a 3 down player. They have Bobby Brown III, Kobe and Tyler Davis (sleeper) as their run defenders. In known passing situations they can just let Fiske go nuts and rush the passer against sluggish guards. I love it.

Concussions are a touchy subject because of the research on long term effects of CTE. It can seriously mess people up, with their mental health, make them aggressive, forgetful, and less emotional.

[@masonjohnson3299]

One of your best videos I’ve seen!!!

[@Michael_BoltMan]

Very good analysis of the league right now, and of the Chargers in particular. The last few seasons there was a lot of hype for the team, and even when they lost to the Jaguars in the playoffs, the feeling was that they would do better last season. We now know how that went, and when Staley was fired and Harbaugh was brought in, they were so far over the cap, that it seemed like this season would be a rebuilding one… especially since they had to let Allen and Williams go. Ever since then, pretty much every move they made paid off, like you were saying. Key free agents were signed, and they drafted really well. Now that Herbert’s ankle is 100%, and the defense is making stops, they are doing much better than anyone expected they would. I’d put them ahead of Arizona and Washington right now, which would make them #9. I think that’s fair.. If they beat Baltimore on Monday, I’d put them even higher. Bolt up ⚡️⚡️⚡️

I had no problem with you putting the Commanders last, from the simple reason that there were way too many unknowns to make any sort of prediction about this team. I did think going into camp that they had an outside shot at playoffs if a lot went right with the team and someone else in the division was worse than expected, but I never expected they would play as well as they have. That being said, I felt that 7 wins were more likely. Glad we were both wrong.

Glorious upload

[@hankhatesboredom]

Crazy good video. You rule. And as a Texans fan, to answer the question of disappointment: it's a little there, but only because of optimism. Feels like that feeling of hearing about a trendy new cafe that has the city's best coffee, and when you go there, the espresso machine is broken and they're only selling drip or beans. Which also happens to be pretty great for what it is. Weird metaphor, I know. It's only a disappointment because you expected more, but you're still very happy with what you got, and you have legitimate hope for the future.

[@bryceo6369]

This was well worth the wait

[@Granite95]

As a Texans fan agree with what you're saying, for whatever reason the O-Line isn't reflecting in the capital that we've invested in them. Green drafted highly and both Tunsil, Mason and Howard all given extensions too yet Stroud had 3 games in a row with the most pressures he's ever faced. Do think we will get playoffs but it'll be more due to the Colts's incompetence than how good we are. Defence has been great but our offence really is struggling (2nd half in particular), which for me is the biggest disappointment and has cost us big time (look at game vs Lions) and in other games we were lucky to escape with a win (Bills, Colts twice)

[@jasonhaudenshield5220]

Part of the problem is Stroud. The defense barely contains the opponents. We'll have to see what Collins can do the next few weeks.

[@jasonhaudenshield5220]

Stroud is part of the problem. We saw the same thing when we got Watson. Great 7 game audition and butt cheeks his second season. Ran into more sacks and wouldn't throw the ball away. The 2nd and 4th seasons were night and day. 1st time I saw Watson was capable of a championship season. Stroud has missed the crap out of Collins. Doesn't need to be that touch passer with Collins.

[@michaelhowlett1508]

As a Pats fan I love the breakdown (I would add Mondre to the list of offensive play makers we've got but other than that you're right on). Feels like we're already "ahead" of where we thought we'd be at this point which is kinda weird to say for a 3-8 team but as long as Drake Maye ends the year healthy it's hard to say this has been anything other than a resounding success

[@johnshepard313]

24 for the Jets is still wild. Take away talent, what team do you trust less to show up on any given week? It's them. They're closer to 32 than 22

[@financecarter]

Brian Flores should be the next head coach in Cleveland. Go grab a random OC and bring the defense back up to the top. I know they need to have anything resembling an offense, but if I can give you a top 5 defense and a random OC running this team without Watson. I think that brings the floor way higher than an offensive coach based on the roster construction

[@chrisjahnke2439]

50:33 Your overall take away from the Saint's is they are old and where are they going? Not that there was a four game stretch that only two of their starting offensive players were playing in the games because of all the injuries and all but 2 of the rest of their games it was still a large portion of the offense was injured.

[@felixlara2945]

I feel bad for George kittle he's like Julio Jones, theoretically should be one of the greatest RedZone threats of all time but in practice their teams don't even try to get them the ball in the RedZone they just let them be the decoy

Does the Thursday night game change your opinion on the Steelers and Browns at all or do you just think it was the weather that led to the result? Personally, I think the Browns might be better than they showed against the Saints and should be raised a bit in the rankings next week.

2:42:57 - as a texan fan i am happy with our 7-4 record but i am very much disappointed with the team thus far. We've yet to have a win that felt truly dominant.

My reasoning for disappointment is more because of the parts of our team we thought could be the most reliable have been far from that

Don’t agree with the dolphins take although Tua isn’t going crazy with the deep ball he’s been playing more out of structure and being an improviser with the ball which a lot of people thought he couldn’t as just a one read QB

[@robe2504]

My rationale as an optimistic Vikes fan, preseason, expecting them to go 14-3 or 15-2 this season was that: 1. I expected Darnold to be at least as good as Cousins, maybe even an upgrade. Sam's throws on target accuracy at the Panthers was 74% and 77%, only marginally inferior to Kirk's. I expected that to improve with KOC's scheme, coaching and the Vikes elite playmakers. Sam has always been markedly superior to Cousins in pocket agility, off schedule plays, and rushing. 2. I expected that Flores' defence to make another significant jump because of the 7-10 FAs added specifically for his scheme. Flores improvised in 2023 with players he inherited, and despite key injuries late in the season, turned an almost league worst D, into an above average D. The versatility and flexibility of Greenard, AVG, Cashman, but also underrated signings and upgrades represented by Tillery, Jihad Ward, Shaq Griffin, (Jonah Williams) seemed to me that the Vikes could potentially become a top 10, even top 5 D this season. 3. I expected that with significant upgrades on offence and defence, KOC could turn the Vikes into a top 5 team. KOC was able to make the aging roster he inherited in 2022 into a competitive team. By the start of the 2024 season Kwesi and KOC had changed the team so so completely that only 10 players remained from the 90 man roster they inherited from Spielman. It seemed logical that with a roster finally tailored to the schemes they wanted to play, (the addition of Hockenson, Addison, Jones to the offence, and infusion of experienced talent into the defence), that they would be better than ever on both sides of the ball. I'd argue that most analysts succumbed to their pre-conceptions that Darnold would play down to his worst games at the Jets and Panthers, instead of imagining how KOC, Jefferson et al could elevate him above even his best play there. I'd also argue that there was a failure of imagination to ask how the versatility, and depth of players like Greenard, Van Ginkel, Cashman, Jihad Ward, Tillery, Turner, Griffin, Gilmore would change the effectiveness of Flores' scheme. Especially in comparison to Hunter, Wonnum, Dean Lowry, Akayleb Evans, Andrew Booth, who formed a shallower pool of older less talented players unsuited to Flores's 3-4 scheme.

[@tonyv_0658]

Kyle Shanahan’s playcalling has been horrible for the Niners. He’s the reason the offense looks so bad. If you watch the games Purdy is the only reason the Niners ever have a fighting chance.

[@ethanducharme2510]

I 100% agree watching the film its ugly to get through. Also Shanahan has blown 3 games in division this year.

[@davidmacarthur705]

58:32 I believe the reason Ramczyk hasn’t retired is because of the way his contract would hit the books if he does. Basically if he had retired this offseason the Saints would have been on the hook for even more money by waiting he can put the team in a better position because they have a year heads up

[@ThatFranchiseGuy]
