More Week Four Takeaways.

I Love How  After  Three Weeks Or Less, Certain Teams  Reveal The Best And Worst Of What The Offense Can Deliver. No Mist Clearing Or Sweating Through Magic Hats To wonder What Will Come Up. This Will Have Good Games and Bad Game And Hopefully More Of The Former, Everyone, Your 2022 Vikings. 

You Know What I Mean. 

In Week One, the Vikings Took Advantage Of An Disorientated Or Slightly Diluted Packers Secondary. They Looked Nothing Like The Vikings Of Old And Everything Like The Vikings Of New Simultaneously. These two Abstract Versions would Collide, And One Would Reign Supreme: The Old Vikings.

In Week Two, The Vikings Found The Eagles Air Patrol Secondary Far More Down To Earth. Cutting Justin Jefferson Down To Just To 48 Yards. If Jefferson Took The Hot Start As Showcase For Him Manifesting The  High Hopes He Professed over The Summer Only To Receive A Reality Check; No Matter How Many Dogs Your Social Media Team Can Photoshop Into Your Chest, the Biggest Dogs Eat First And The Eagles Had Those Dogs—Trust Me It Makes Sense.  

The Next Week,   Versus The Lions, Head Coach And Play Caller Kevin O’Connell Didn’t Wait For Disarray To Awaken. He Created Dysfunction In The Lions Secondary. Scheming Their Man Heavy Defensive Action Into Miscommunication and Indefensible Chess Skewer—The Defense Had To Choose One Receiver And Lose The Other In The Confusion.  The Choose To Follow Jefferson, On Occasion Leaving Adam Theilen To Thrive In The Bushels. I Think Theilen Read My Critique Of His Game, Im sure He Did—You Can’t Convince  Me Otherwise. He Stepped Up With Jefferson Getting Plotted. 

I Don’t Know Whether To Heap The Blame Or (The Praise) On The Week One 184 yard Explosion The Best Receiver In The Has Gotten Held In Check.  Between his last Two Outings, he had 62 Yards, and 9 Receptions. His 18 Against the Lions Were The Worst Of His Career. The Vikings Secured a Crucial Divisional Win. They Say When You Want Something, A Desire Or a Dream, Another Opposing Force, An Adversary If we Use  Biblical Terms, Steps Up To Oppose That Dream Or Desire “Comes To See How Bad You WANT What You Say You Do”, How Will You Response. Defenses Have Stepped To Stop Jefferson's Takeover Of The League. His Face Every Form Of Coverage Feasible Next Up To Hold The Record Breaking, Dance Move Proprietor, The Saints Fierce, Mean Streak Secondary.  

The Saints Debut Their New Black Darth Vader-Like Helmets, Hoping Maybe To Block Out Any Light In The Windows Of Their Secondary, That’s Easier To Control In London Where The Sun Barely Shines. The Results Less Spectacular Than The Look. In return Of The Jedi, Justin Jefferson Went Off In His Return To Form Game. He Finished With 10 Catches and 147 Yards And No Touchdowns, Just First Down, Making Defenders Miss out On Coverage And Just Flexing that Bet Receiver In The Game Style. Kirk Cousins Jefferson Dropped a Touchdown Thrown Behind Him. He Rushes For One Later In The Game. Kirk Cousins Came Out With The Standard Insurance Pitch, 273  Passing Yards 25/38 Completion Percentage of One Touchdown, and One Interception. He Accounts For The Vikings Only Touchdown: The Offense, On The Other Hand, Had A Field Day, Collecting Punts and Field Goals All Their Way Through London. Excuse Me, But I Thought The Saint’s Antique Pistol, Hit, Or Miss Offense Looked A Great Deal Better With Andy Dalton behind The barrel. He Posted A 108.6 Passer Rating, The Best Result of Any Of The Four Other Quarterback In The Post Drew Brees Era. The  Artist Formerly Known As The “Red Rifle” Finished His First Start with Saints 20/28 236, One Touchdown And 8.4 An Attempt. The Were With Alvin Kamara, Who Just Can’t Seem To stay  Healthy. The Vikings Are Tied With the Saints For The Number 1 In NFC North. I’m Juggling With The  Approach I Should Take To This Piece. My Conscience Says, “Drop it Or Don’t Drop It; You’ll Regret Both.”

Dolphins Were The New Number One Team On “Everyone’s” Power Rankings Just A  Week Ago. The Tua Situation Overshadow Cast An Ominous Fog Over Much Of The Fan Fare Surroundings The Rose Of The Dolphins Especially In The Wake Thursdays More Catastrophic Second Act. 

I don’t Want To Blow Air On The Embers Of An All Smoldering, “Baked” Out Dialogue.  I’m the Contrarian Voice/Input; “Angel On My Shoulder, What Should We Do. Devil On The Other What Would Meek Do?”

 I’m Not Diluting The Seriousness Of Injury(s), No One Has Given A Clear Diagnosis On The Matter only Sordid, Dare I Say Accounts and Diatribes Towards The NFL For The Injury. The Truth In My Opinion, Tua Signed Up, Got Paid Millions To Put Himself, His Body In Harms. Im Not Trying To Play The Callous Role Or Dodge Here When I Say That’s How The Dice Rolls In The ”Violent” Game Of Football. 

“Football Is A Unique Sport..There Is So Much Unpredictability, So Much Variables” Head Mike McDaniels Addressing The Media. The First Year Head Coach Didn’t Shy Away From The Imapct Of Tua’s Injury, Nor Did He Try Too Oversimplify The Matter To “Just Football”, Tua’s Not A “Created Player” he’s Flesh And Bone. Neck/Back Injuries As It Turns Out Are “Repressive” Or After Shock Like. Teams Officials Can Attribute The Trauma Injuries Orthopedic Instead Of Neurological As In A Concussion. But That’s The Game. Should The League Protect Player From Themselves. The Player Who Negotiate Snap Count Bonuses Into Their Contract. That’s Why Kirk Cousin Made Guaranteed Money The Move And Lamar Jackson Wont Settle For Anything Less. Justin Herbert Plays With Crack Rib Cartilage I Don’t see Anyone Rushing Him Off The Field From A Losing Effort With The Possibility Of Internal Bleed A Real Possibility.  Should Myles Garrett Even Consider Strapping On A Helmet? A Specialist Can Remodel That Porsche, Can A Specialist Remodel Garrett? Should Micah Parson Acted Out His Version Of The Flu Game. The Legendary Game Of Micheal Jordan’s Takeover In The Final against The Jazz. Almost Ever Athlete Has Strive To Emulate In some Fashion. Should Young Bryce Young Have Thrown Another Pass After Injuring His Shoulder In A College Game. 

“it Ain’t The Game Its The Life.”-Nas. 

We Valorize And Aggrandize , Commemorate Those Feats Of Overcoming human Limitation,Not only InSport But In Our Mythology.  Hero like Thor and Heracles Become Legends Even In Fiction because They Overcomes The Arduous Trials. That’s That’s How Stories Become Myth and Myth Becomes Legend. Even At A Youth Or Amateur Level You Wouldn’t Want To Miss A Rep Because Your What Would Monomaniacal Kobe Think. 

I’m Not a Medical Professional. I Understand Team Officials And A  Independent Doctor Follow the Stipulations Of The NFL Concussion Protocol  Thoroughly. I Have No “Investment” In This Matter On Either Side Of The Argument—Not To Defend The NFL Not For The “Humanity” Of Matter. From My Perspective Tua Knew What It was When I Signed Up. You Don’t Join The Army Or The Marines And Not Expect To See Some action. At The Beginning Of Last Weeks Game Againts The Cardinals, Matthew Stafford Tells His Teammates, Quote:” Find Somebody Early And Run Through Their Chest.” in Football Savagery Counts On The Spreadsheet and The Bank Book. 

 Slow Must Be Punching… Nevermind. Nothing Moves Slow On The Feild Down In South Beach. Not The Blitz, Not Cornerbacks, Not The All Gas Receivers. Sometimes The Dolphins Are A  Team That honestly Doesn’t “Feel” Like An NFL Team all The Time—That’s My Personal Take In Them—A Three Mad Dash Atake For The Top Spot Has Had No Shortage Of Moment. Beating Belichick, 400 Yard Tua Take Off And A Big Comeback. The Acclaim Only Subsist Greater When You Consider This Wide Receiver Quarterback Combinations Had The Makings Of Oil And Water Tyreek To Tua, I Mean Tyreek From Tua Should Have Needed More Time And Wouldn’t last Once Tyreek Exposed Tua Deficiencies. Instead The Two Have More Than Exceeded Expectation They’ve Seemingly Surpassed The Carr-Adams That Overrun The AFC By Estimation.  The Dolphins Took Home The First L Of The Season. Question Continue To Spiral Around What Transpired with  Tua These Past Two Weeks. The Bengals Are Two And Two. They As Emerge From team Deep In Trouble To Once Again Troublesome Foes. 

You Read The Quote(I Assume Confidently). I Read The Quote, For Zach Wilson, It’s Crunch Time Now. “ I'm 100% Ready To Go.” Since Zach Wilson Became The Full-Time Starter For The Jets, Three Quarterbacks Have Thrown For More Than 300 Yards As A Jets starter In Mike LaFleur's Offense. Don't Let The Awe of These Era Defining Names Overwhelm You; Mike White, Josh Johnson, and Joe Flacco. How All Three Quarterbacks Have Come To Stead Zach Wilson In Two Seasons Progen-ates Its Spiel Of Curiosity. Regardless Hasn’t Cross 300 Yard Passing In the Game. Moreover, she Just Hasn't Looked “Good” At Quarterback. “Good” Means Wilson is Desirable Above An Average Level Replacement. He's Coming off Of A Knee And Taking Over with Talent. More Talent Than The One He Left Last Season. Garrett Wilson Owes Zach A Heartfelt Apology. The former Ohio State Stand Out “Didnt Wait,” Not For One Day. Wilson Gleaves To Stardom In New York He Accounts For 29.94% 

 The JETS have one Of the Worst Pass Blocking Efficiencies In The League. But The Steelers Are With Top Pass Rusher TJ Watt And Haven’t Produced Anything Resembling A Pass Blocking Defeat since. They Brought The Pressure Today 23 According To PFF Tally.  

In Need Of Something Resembling Competetive Interest, THE Steelers Search For A “Spark” Because When Almost Dead Last In Offense A SHORTAGE of  “sparks” Are The Cheif of Your Issues Reckoned. 

Like A New Game CARTRIDGE, Insert First Round Pick Here , The Noteworthy Back-Up Inside The State Of Pennsylvania (sorry Gardner Minchew) Rookie Kenny Pickett Made His Long Awaited Rookie Debut Sunday. Everybody's Favorite Talking point About The Steelers Has Closed, For Now. 

The Takeover Came of The Offense Came In The Second Half. Ending A Summers Long, Three And A Half Game Long Speculation and Changing The Entire Trajectory Of The Steelers Offense. Finally, The Interception We're Land Where They Were supposed To, In The Deep. After Two Rushing Attempts, Pickett Held The Ball, Small Hands Be Damned, and Through A Deep Shot, Intercepted. The Results, Nothing Different The Steelers Lost A Close One. Pickett Finished 10/13 Three Of Those Incompletion Were Interceptions(Yeah Three). Two Of Those Intercepted Passes, Contested Balls, Tipped Off Of The Hands Of  His Targeted Receiver and Into the Waiting Arms Of The Jets. Regardless Neither Side Would Argue That He Doesn’t Throw A Soft Ball. 

 Writers All Over America Are Running Out Of Reason To Mention Acrisure Stadium. Pickett Did Rush For Two Touchdowns, The Difference Between He And That Other Guy Who Couldnt Produce Much Of Anything.  Pickett Stole The Hype—If You Can Call It Hype—For Zach Wilson’s Return. Physically Zach Wilson Returned Unencumbered  From His Knee Injury. His Footwork Looked Polished,Immaculate Even. The Arm Strength Remains Average. Even With The Jets Standing Firm At 2-2 , Exceeding Far Above Expectation, This Year Remains A “Test” Year For Wilson’s Growth. Progress Trumps The  Results At This Point In Zach Wilson Development Plan. He Finished 18/36 252 Yeah The Jets Are 2-2. The Steelers Fall To 1-3, Last In Their Division And Ostensibly One Of The Worst Teams In Football.
