Put some timestamp guys

[@brionregan7600]

In the description

[@drinkup45]

Make the timestamps a pinned comment cause I don't think people check description - problem solved 👍🏼

[@gnade1330]

Nice title boys

[@thezapper007]

My only argument about the Packers pass rush is look who they went against week, one and two and look at their PFF grades. Call colts and Eagles are top three offensive lines.

[@waalaman]

Good point and let me add a theory that Hafley was probably holding back a bit in order to keep Hurts and AR from running wild. I think he'll let the tiger out of cage up front vs less speedy QBs.

Analysis the the Thursday night game was lazy. If you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it. You seemed insulted that you had to watch the game. Roberts preseason take on the Giants offense was that you couldn't evaluate them last year b/c of the o-line play and that was fair. He doesnt seem to want to come off that take. The Giants o-line was not an issue in this game, Jones had a couple strong throws to the middle of the field, was able to manage the pocket and actually get to a second read on occasion. He is also unable to complete a pass more than 20 yards down field. Daboll schemed up some good deep shots and Jones couldn't complete them. More generally it feels like TAS has been lacking this season, Nate was able to take a step back and explain his take and break down offensive systems in a simple way, that hasn't been happening this year.

For your consideration on the steelers: I think people keep mischaracterizing the situation with Pittsburgh's offense. No one is really paying attention to the context here. I think their offense is due to get significantly better yet this year. Rewind to two years ago for a minute; what parts of this offense are the same as they are now? You have 4 new offensive line starters (counting the two players they're rotating at left guard), only Pickens remains from the receiver room, Najee Harris is still there, and that's it. you have a completely new receiver room, only Pickens and Austin remain from last year, you have a new offensive coordinator, new QB coach, and new receivers coach, all new this year. You have Dan Moore playing the best of his career, you have James Daniels grading as the best guard in the NFL I believe, and everyone else on the line is a rookie or second year player (at the moment), and things are still going pretty good there. Frazier and Daniels are powering a dominant interior, and they're still due to get their best lineman from last season back at the other guard spot any day now. They've just scratched the surface of this offensive install, all these new pieces only had the tiny modern training camp to come together, and it was in a situation where a different guy was expected to be starting at quarterback. The fact that this offense has been as successful as it's been these first few weeks is honestly very impressive. what happens when they actually finish this install? I think you have to expect something similar to the Arthur Smith Titans teams. Considering how quickly this has all been fashioned together, their early season success would seem to be indicative of much, much better things to come. And I haven't even mentioned yet that the guy leading the offense on the field has as high of a ceiling as anyone in the league as far as physical tools are concerned, and all the negatives that he displayed on a Chicago offense that was poorly coached and built on concepts that have aged out of the league are all the things he hasn't put on tape yet this year. Literally the only thing that has media people refusing to acknowledge this team as a contender this year is that the name "Justin Fields" has to be spoken in any segment that broaches the subject.

Good content - add simple graphics or timestamps, and you're golden ✨️

Dang, the shade to the Chiefs' front office. The credit for the last two super bowls doesn't just fall on Mahomes, Reid, and Spags. Their 2021 and 2022 draft classes were incredible! Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith in the same year was a homerun. Nick Bolton's been a plus player. 2022 had McDuffie, Karlaftis, Leo Chenal, and Bryan Cook. Pacheco's been great for a guy drafted in the seventh round, and Jaylen Watson seems to be taking a step this year. When you pay your QB and other elite talent, you need to hit in the draft in order to have sustained success, and they've done it.

[@nate9191]

Think you guys (Klass mostly) are underrating Daniels pretty massively. Playing at that level this early into your career on the road is a gigantic data point that indicates he will likely be very very very good. These games matter a ton

[@johnrodgers9553]

as a wsh fan this convo on jayden and the washington offense melted my heart. so nice to hear this about our historically heinous franchise

[@Shadyjenkins]

Messed up the name

[@richresroc]

Its not just that the Vikes D was "found out" last year. They had multiple key injuries across the board. The secondary has been completely overhauled and now they are deep in all areas except DT and CB. So long as they stay healthy in these positions, theyre a top 5 outfit

[@BrandDone6709]

This kid really likes Dak freakin Prescott man

[@enemycap9163]

No timestamps??

[@PapaSquattt]

Sonny!

[@WesVikis]

You guys have to stop saying LaPorta is a bad blocker. Just horrible take

[@Metawrecker]

The Packers defensive line played against two of the most mobile QB’s in the NFL (which they ran for minimal yardage) the first two weeks … they didn’t week three the pass rush (from the left side as well if you watched your film * Wyatt on a T/E stunt v JC Latham) went off do you think that’s a coincidence friend? It’s becoming very evident who was carrying the show. I’m done here & will encourage other friends to do the same. At least you gave us Nate and we can head over to yahoo. Thank you for that at least.
