NFC South.
Here At “Double M,” We’re Here For Tom Brady. Even When he’s Away, We Keep an Attentive Vigil For His Return. The Bucs Are Once Again Super Bowl Favorites Along With The Bills, But The Circumstances Are Different. Tom Brady Has Never Uncover A Challenge He’s Not Seen. Just Like Defense That Try To Fool The Football Are No New Foe The Ageless One. In
But This Season, He’ll Face Unique Circumstances To Him In Tampa.
. Last Year The Bucs Returned All 22 From The Super Bowl Team. For First Time In Superbowl Era, A Team Returned All 22 Starters.. Then Head Coach Bruce Arian Made History In Keeping The First Drunken Promise Maybe In History Of Alcohol .“They kept their drunken promises.” Bucs were Given An Automatic Ticket To Another Super Bowl Opportunity (Supposedly). This Year Not So. Even Without History or Aarians On Their Side, The Bucs Have The Second Best Odds To Make The Super Bowls. But In Football, The Odds are Always Working In Motion. The Bucs lost approximately 4200 Plus Snaps From Their Offensive in this Off-season over the past two seasons. The Free Agent LossOf Alex Cappa To The Bengals, The Expected Loss Of Center Ryan Jensen To Injury, and Guard Ali Marpet To Retirement. Neither Cappa Nor Jensen Are Elite, But Together With Marpet, One of The Best Run Blockers, They Allowed Just Eleven Sacks Over the Past Two Years. Together With Tackles Tristan Wirfs and Donavan Smith, The Protection Unit Surrender Just Eleven(11) Sacks An The Continuity They Brough To The Trenches—Played 100% Of Blocking Snap—Unnrivaled. That’s Almost Unapproachable Consistency And Luck. But Luck Like Odds Aren’t Sustainable. The Bucs Traded For Shaq Mason, Who Should Replace Cappa Seamlessly. They Replace the Marpet internally With Arron Steenie. Steenie Snuck In 52Snaps In Protection. Only a Few Days After Jensen Suffered an Undisclosed Knee Injury That Will Have The 31-Year-Old Center straddle To The Indefinitely, Stinnie Suffered A Significant Injury. Suddenly A Place Of Strength Flattened Into A Ground Of Instability.
“That Third Guard Spots Isn’t All That Important Until One Of The First Two Get Hurt.”—Tom Brady. But The Guard Spot May Not Matter At All, And The Adjustment Are Already an Apart Of The Scheme.
Here At “Double M,” We’re All For Silver Linings.
Tom Brady Had A Pretty Decent Two-Year Trip In Florida. In Two seasons, He’s Almost over Ten Thousand Yards With the Team, 16 Strikes To Mike Evans Away From 100 Touchdown, And With His Fourth NFC Playoff this past January, He’s Total 1/3 Of Aaron Rodgers's Total Career Playoffs Win(12). Hidden Beneath The Lofty Veneer Of Statical Offense Are Hidden Numbers That Make The Bucs Offense Work. Tom Brady Master Work Start With 14.7%. That’s How Many Of Pressures Pass Rusher Converted To sacks(22/150) Against Brady, 7th Best Percentage In The League.
Of the Other Six Quarterback With A lower P2S%, Names You’d Expect; Tua, Mahomes, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Maybe Not Kirk Cousins, and Brady Had The Second Fewest Scrambles(7). He's The Only Quarterback Over Forty With The Most Recognizable Mobility Limitations.
Only Tua had Less(6) Than Brady, and Kirk Finished With Less Than 20(10). How Does a Statue, And Football Stonehenge Avoid Sacks And Attrition? Release Time, 2.86; It’s The Best Mark In The League Under Pressure. According To Football Outside, about 39% Of Sack Take Place Within 2.3 to 2.8 seconds and The Other 58% between 2.0 To 3.0. Brady’s Average Depth Of Target Under Pressure, 11.3. Shaq Thompson Of The Carolina Panthers Recorded The Fastest Sack In Football Last Year When she Snagged Kyler Murray In 1.87 seconds 1 Second Faster Than Brady Releases Under Pressure. If we Adjust The Depth Of The Target To Shorter-Range Or Even Check Downs Which Brady Locates In 2.0 Seconds Or Less. Offensive Line Or No Offensive, Even At 45, Brady Will Produce. Brady Releases The Ball Fast Regardless. In Clean Pockets, his release Time Drop To 2.22. He’s Decisive. He Analyzes The Defensive Matchup And Structure and Picks His Spots Pre-Snap. Very Few Quarterbacks Have His Level Of Acuity And Can Guess Right. He Takes Shot Downfield Within The Structure Of a the Offense, But The Bucs Emphasize Moving The Ball More Than Moving The Needle. A Methodical Offense Requires Exceptional Skill players, and The Bucs Have Them By Them Galore. With Godwin back Healthy Earlier Than Even The Wildest Expectations. The best Offenses Are Well Rounded, But the Bucs are Going To Remodel The Phrase “Pass Happy” Next Se within Evans And Godwin At 1A and 1b. Russell Gage 3+ And Julio Jones Stemming Along With Wide Receiver Expect More Four Receiver Sets Even Five Receiver Sets. Their Wide Receiver Even Better Than The Running Backs In The Short Passing Game. Another Indication That Offensive Line
With Both Gronk and O.J. Howard Gone, More Targets Open Up. The Other Notable Absence, His head Coach Bruce Arians. With Defensive Coordinator, Todd Bowles Taking Over The Club. But The Vibes Different Than The Austerity Of The Previous Five Years. Byron Leftwich Controls The Offense, But Tom Brady’s Role as The Grand Conductor Makes Everything work, More Than Any Other Quarterback. The Only Area Of The Team Vaccinated From Brady’s Force Multiplying Prowess, The Pass Rush.
NFL Coaches By Trade Bring A “Blend In with The Back Ground” Bureaucratic Like Mystique To Their Craft. Headphone Over Head And Clipboards Over Mouth, Team Emblems. Every Thing Done by the Book. They Make The Down To Down That Generate Losses For Your Team—To A Degree. The Best Are Famed, But Otherwise, Coaches Mostly Blend Into The Background.
They’re Not trying to be all in the videos, all on the record, dancing… They Are The Least Remarkable Persona, Dan Campbell Exception some However Take “Unremarkable” To Another Score. Falcons Head Coach Authur Smith( I Was Today Years Old When I Found That Out) Has His Work Cut Out For Him And Not Just With The Team. Smith came from Tennessee, Where He Served As The Offensive Coordinator Behind Derrick Henry’s 2000 Yard Rushing Season. That’s Not To Say Smith Orchestrated Or Activated Monster In Derrick Henry, But Any Man Of Prominence Claim To Fame. In Atlanta, Smith Lead The 7-10 Record. He And Matt Ryan Paved The Road For The Highest Measure Of Excellence.
Smith Doesn't Have anyone Near The Talent Level Of Derrick Henry, Any Talent level Above the Pro Bowl Level. After Calvin Ridley’s Suspension, The Roster LOST More Talent. He's overseeing A Roster In Transition, more Bereaved Of Talent, With A Salary cap Oddly Bereaved Of Breathing Room. The Falcons Still Surpassed Expectation. A Roster Capable Of Finishing Last In Offensive Efficiency, Manage 28th In DVOA. Scarcity Of Talent Breeds Innovation. The Falcons And Authur smith Went All In Converting “Gadget Warrior” Coredaralle Patterson into Full Time Running Back. He Became A Star, Taking Offensive Snaps Out-wide, Out The Backfield, And In The Slot. He Played Like “The Real MVP.” if A Seven Win Team Could Have an MVP. The NFL Separate Excellent From Winning, Like Say Baseball.
The Falcons Will Needed Patterson To Flourish in That Role. He Carved Out A Niche For Himself After His Skills At Receiver Stunted. He Signed A Two Year Contract Deal This OffSeason.
The Falcons Reunited Smith and Marcus Mariota Reunited With the Offensive Coordinator Who Replaced Him For Ryan Tannehill For Two Years. Will Mariota Meet Similar Fate With Desmond Ridder Behind waiting?
Two-Year Contracts in Atlanta Are No Light Matter.
Except for Jake Matthews, Grady Jarrett, and Deion Jones, the Cash Strapped Club Has Most Of The Roster Stuffed With Year Deals.
The Falcons Are Budgeting $40.5 million(19.5 percent) of Their cap space to Ryan, The Franchises Leader In Any Number of Passing Whom They Traded To The Colts. The Falcons Another 23.4 Million Allotted To Other Contracts, Including Julio Jones.
The Other Half Of Atlanta Receiving Dynamic--Like Sith, There are Always Two--Kyle Pitts. The Falcons Other Contract That Run Beyond a Year Are Rookie Deals; most Prominently, Last Year's Fourth Pick Tight End Kyle. He's A TIGHT End By Designation Only; he displayed a High Degree of Suave And Deft On THE outside. Pitts Finished His Rookie Year with 114 Targets(4th Best Amongst Tight Ends); 21.9 of Those Receptions Came On The Outside. Only One Other Tight End With 80 Or More Targets Finished With 10 Or More Percent Of His Targets On The Outside, Tyler Higbee. Higbee Finished With Nearly 30 Less Than Pitts.
I was playing In Atlanta Hurt Pitts Overall Productivity. Of the Three Tight Ends Who Finished Above Pitts In Targets, Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, And Mark Andrews All Played For Teams That Finished Top In Plays Per game. Baltimore(1st), Kansas City (4th), And Arizona (8th) In Plays Per Game. Atlanta, On The Other Hand, Second To Last only Seattle, Finished Lower In Plays Per Game.
The Chiefs Passed The Ball 102 More Time Than The Falcons Last Year. Pitts Eclipse 1000 Yards, the First Rookie Tight Ever Over One Thousand in Hour Build For Cargo Ships Atlanta Had a Ferrari On The road. With Patterson Expected To Slide Outside More, Pitts Should Move Into The Slot. That’s where Tights Like Mark Andrews Clean Up On Matchup Nightmares. The Addition Of Wideout Drake London, Slated To Roam Out Wide. He's Struggle With Injuries, But IF he Can Return to total health, Atlanta Has The Next In a Long Line of Big Star Receivers. On The Defensive End, The Falcons Don’t Have Much To Cover Other than football's Best Cover Man, AJ Terrell. Terrell Left Opposing Receivers Starving For Action. NFL Quarterback Targeted His Direction 66 times, and He Surrendered Just 29 Receptions And 200 Yards. After Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase Bum Rushed Him In The National Championship, I THOUGHT Terrell Would Never Return To Elite Status.
“In The End, It's All About Execution. Preparation Leads Execution. Execution Leads To Production.”
We All Need Production.
I Have Lost A Few Job In My Lifetime, So Believe Me, I’m Sympathetic Toward Matt Rhule. No One Likes To Have That Conversation--That Stingy, Emaciated One That Attacks Your Self-Worth-- And Reading The Term Of That Termination Paper and wonder Where The Next Meal Coming. For Matt Rhule, Maybe The Meal Part Won’t have Relevance. Matt Rhule Signed a 7 Year, $60-62 Million Dollar Contract Two Years ago, and He’s Sat On The Iron Throne Ever Since.
“NO King Should Sit Comfortably.” The Iron Throne, The Place That’s Hard To Recline.
Matt Rhule Won't win The game of Throne And Crowned King ANY soon. He's Trying to Hold Onto the Title Of Head Coach Days.
League Owners And, More Conspicuously, The Media, Have Taken The Panthers And Owner David Tepper To The Gallows Over The Contract. With The Amount Of Team, Throw Around Some Time Just Over Nine Seems Fair. Good Coaches Are Falling From Every Tree These Days. The Media Scoffs And Critique Anyone That’s Paid These Days. Curiously That’s how the Media Gets Paid. Rhule, He’s A Jay-Z Fan Or A Fan Of The Jay-Z Model For Success. So, Rhule Of Above, Anybody Else Knows, “[People] Hate Ballers These Days.”
If The Panthers Get Off To a Slow start, Expect The Media To Stoke The Flames. Expect The Panthers And Matt Rhule to Catch Hands From some writer Who Hadn’t Signed A Cheque For Matt Rhule.
Another aspect of The Game is For A Guy Like Rhule, Who Likes To “Micro Manage” His Operation To Bring Under His Reigns. Rhule Preaches Process. The Team, From Top To Bottom Unit To Unit, Need To Remain In Tune With The Small Details. If The Defense Can’t Excel at Tackling, They Won’t Excel At Stops. The Defense, It’s Another Sympathetic Aspect Of The Team. From The D-line To The Secondary, They’ve Taking The Brunt Of The Competitively Grain. When The Defense Played Well, The Offense Couldn’t Much The Output. When Defense Couldn’t Keep Up, The Offense Fail To Protect Them By Turning The Ball(-14 Turnover Differential). The Defense Has Youth On Its Side. Brian Burns, The Teams Second Leading Edge Guy. Derrick Brown, Number Overall And Every Favorite Name Out Of Penn State Yetur Gross-Matos Will Run The Trenches. In True NFC South, the Panthers are Cap Strapped Going Into Next Season. They Lost Leading Edge Rusher, Hassan Roddick, To The Eagles, Another Burn. Jaycee Horn, Last Years First Round,r Should Give The Panthers A Full Season Of Work After Recovering From Foot Surgery. Across From Horn Another First Rounder, Another Line In The Panthers Reclamation Project Book CJ Henderson. Henderson Struggled After Coming Over From Jacksonville. Horn Played Great In His Three Games. If that trend continues, Expect Team To Target Henderson A lot More In Coverage.
Speaking Of Reclamation Projects.
Rodger Sherman of The Ringer Wrote The Strangest Sentence Ever Written In NFL Copy Pounding “There are just too many quality quarterbacks.” To His He Wrote That Piece In 2018 I Don’t Believe Anybody Envisioned The 2022 Panthers. The Panthers Had The Worse Quarterback In The League. Yes, Both The Jets And Bear Can Table Counter Arguments To That Point, But The Panthers With A Platoon Of Poor Passers. Sam Darnold, Cam Newton, And PJ Walker. Cam Returned To The Panthers With a Thunderous Crescendo Only To Hold a Clipboard Into Week 18. PJ Walker Played With Spirit, Even Inspiring. But The Panthers Slide their Last Seven Games Into The Losing Column.
After Months Of Working Through A Divorce Settlement, The Panthers Worked Out A Deal with The Browns To Give Baker Mayfield The Starting Spot In Carolina. Baker Plays Best When He’s Not Ask To Transform Or Even Carry An Offense. Whether He’s Starting Quality Quarterback Doesn’t Matter; Someone Has To Throw Passes In Panther Blue. I LIKE the Panthers Receiving Unit. I'm Not Saying their Top Ten. Lead By Thousand Yard Receiver D. J. MOORE The Panthers Have Talent On The Outside But A lot In progress. Terrence Marshall--drafted In The 2nd Round--Needs To Step Up. Robbie Anderson Lead The receiving Unit In Touchdowns. They Have Talent, But New Offensive Coordinator Ben McAdoo Has A Work In Progress On His Hands. Running back Christian McCaffrey Return From Injury Only To End The Season On Ir. He’s Unique.
He also Figures To Serve Prominently In The pass Game, But Injury Histories Rarely Improve With Age. He’s only 26, But He’s Played 10 Out Of A possible 33 Games In 2 Years At A Position, Running Back, Not Famous For Walking Away With Victories Over Attrition.
Nothing Screams “Waving The White Flag” Like Losing Seven Games To End A Season. Especially after The Year Started Promising. Nothing Screams “Waving The White Flag” Like Bringing Your Third Straight Quarterback Project. Nothing Screams “Waving The White Flag” Like The Panthers Are Right Now. With Quarterback Health On The Respirator Right Now NFL Team Have Slowly Embraced The Repudiated Practice Of Tanking. No NFL Team Will Dare To Take A Flagrant Teardown Like The Sixers Did In the NBA. After Three Years In Quarterback Purgatory, The League recognizes The Panthers Need A Desperate Quarterback Infusion. If Mayfield Does Manage To Turn His Career Around, Then The Cash Strapped Panthers Can’t Afford it. If He Doesn’t Have Him “Come To Jesus Moment,” The Question Of Resigning Him Becomes Moot.
The Rams Hold The Title of As The Paragon Of “All In” On “All In.” What Will Our Franchise Look Like After This Closing Window Of Contention? That Sounds Like a Job For Future Les Snead, Or Whomever Sam Kroenke Hires to Salvage Their Wreck Talent Pool and Bottom Out Salary Cap.
The Saints Are The Originators Of Mortgaging A Future and Playing “Game Of Thrones” With The Present Assembly. Every Conversation About The Saints Starts With Their Cap Space Conundrum. No One Can’t Say Whether To Praise the Saints For Their Otherworldly Cap Wizardry.
Cap Expert Have Sorely Reprimanded The Practice :
“The Saints just do whatever you’ve got to do to get under the cap this year, and we’ll worry about it next year and the year after that and the year after that.”(Jason Fitzgerald/The Ringer). I'm Similar In MY habits. I Pound Out Copy Late At Night And Roll Over My Sleep Hours The Next Day. A FEW EXPRESSO shots to Keep The Ball Rolling. But Anyone That’s Witness The Saints Play Salary Cap “Cat And Mouse.” Are Saints Taking Salary Cap Advice From New Orleans Rapper Mystikal:
“Ain't no salary cap on top of my dollars.”
The Cap reflects the Entire NFL's Economic Composition And Condition— Higher Caps Figures Generally Correlate To The Overall Health Of The League And The Product. With So Many Teams Able To Reap The potential Payoff from a high volatility game While Pressing the Cap To The Limits.
The Real Kickback Roll Over Year To Year In Free Agency Market. Economics Reflect Human Proclivity. The Cap Model Breathes, Moves, And Grows; It’s Alive. Last Offseason, They Lost DE Trey Hendrickson, Who Turned Into A Defensive Pillar For The Bengals During Their Super Bowl Run. The Trenches Are Where The Saints Lose Most of Their Cap Value. They’ve Become A Small Market Baseball Team, Like The Rays. Draft Well, Develop Talent, and Then Trade Them Or Let Them Walk To Team With a Higher Budget. The Losses Are Piling Up. This Year's Starting Saftey Marcus Williams(Baltimore) And Left Tackle Terron Armstead, Who Missed Most Of The Season Due To Injury(Miami). The Brain trust Behind the Game Theory Exercise In The History Of Sports Reserve Confidence In Their Ability To Control The Cap Contents.
“From the outside looking in, everybody thinks the sky is falling. [But] we sort of know our plans and what steps need to be taken,” New Orleans vice president of football administration and salary cap expert Khai Harley. The Plan: Extend All-Pro, Irreplicable Talents Like Marshon Lattimore and Running back Alvin Kamara. Reconstruct and Roll Over Caps Hits on OTHER Several Salaries Anybody Holding Over: Michael Thomas, Ryan Ramczyk, Andrus Peat, Cameron Jordan, Tanoh Kpassagnon, Alvin Kamara, Marshon Lattimore, Marcus Davenport, Bradley Roby, David Onyemata, and James Hurst. Then Sift The Bottom Of The Barrels Of The Free Agents Or Cast Off Veterans. Two Of Their “Notable” Free Agents are Wide Receiver Jarvis Landry And Safety Tyran Matthieu. When You Do Practice Of Not Guaranteeing Money, You Create A Disingenuous Free Agency Environment.
The Rollercoaster Comes Down At Some Point. Until Then, What The Saints Have Now … We’ll see A Competitive Mess. The Saints Have One Major Conscript Going For Them; They Draft Exceptionally well. The Saints Drafted Mots of Their Starters. Free Agents Don’t Come To New Orleans— Not In The NBA And Not In The NFL. The Saints Draft and Develo,p And The Defense Attest To That Fact. The Saints Have Talent Top To Bottom. Number One Defensive Type Talent. A Top Corner In Lattimore. Top Ten Linebacker In Demario Davis. Defensive line Talent In Veteran Cam Jordan and developing Talents In Payton Turner. Add In Paulson Adebo and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson,
