Week Eight TakeAways.(Duece)

Thursday Feels Like Such A Long Time Ago( It really was By The Time I Finished Everything) I Had To Wonder For A Moment If I Should Move On. Great Win For Baltimore. Jon Harbaugh And Grew Have The AFC North In Hand and They Could Look To Run Away With It As The Sole Possesors of A .500 Record In The Divison. Nevertheless., They Had The Division In Hand Last Year: Up Until Jon Harbaugh Went For That Second Fourth Down Conversion(Again). That Ravens Team With Jackson Blue Chance After Chance Of Transitioning Into A Contender. This Season However, The Ravens Are Mostly Ambiguous. 

Lamar Has All The Excitement of A Independence Day Fire Works Show And Safely Landed The Ravens To A Win Without Both His Top Targets, But I Don’t Care. The Raven Have Quizzical Vibe About Them. I’m Not Sure If They’re Sure They Want To Carry The Pressure Of Elite Football Status Just Yet. Thursday's Game Flowered Into A Win Of Bright. That Could’ve Easily Turned Out As A Moldy Branch Sporing With Question Marks About Their Receiving Units, Secondary And Offense. Lamar Kept The Game Rolling Putting The Together The Perfect Paper Mac-he Of Passing and Rushing In The Second Half, Always Keeping The Bucs At Bay. 

Several Arizona Cardinals front went Where I One Day Hope To Go, the NBA Front—taking In A Suns Game. The Suns Are Off To Hotter Start Than The Cardinals Out In what I Understand The Locals Call The desert. Where Devin Booker Off To a career Best Start His Team Fixated On Getting Their “Get Back .”The Dropped The Maverick Early; Now The Warriors Got Drubbed. Then The Controversy, Umbrage Started. Warriors Star Got Into Fuss With Phoenix Denver Booker In A Strange Exchange Between Doppelgänger Or Older And Younger Brothers. Klay Gets Ejected; an In The Lamest Showing Of Dominance In A Blowout Of All Things, The Warriors Flash The “Four Finger,” Symbolizing Their Four Championship Wins. Whiles Getting Out Classed In An Early season Matchup With The Strongest Adversary.

Seven Weeks Of Football Has The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Down From Contenders To ‘Sound Bite’ Pez Dispenser. 

When Tom Brady Can Only Lather Over The Outcome Of Football In Basal Explanation Like “Bad Football.” 

Yes, the Football Sucks, But What Are We Seeing That You Aren’t? That Layered Strike Down The Field To Cade Otton. Why Are There So Many Blank Spots Where Big Plays One Pixelated? What’s Happening Process Wise? Has The Terminology Change So Much? Are There Mechanism At Work At Fault? I Would Like To Hear Another Player Speak On Why Not Just use “Empty Words” To Satisfy A Press Conference Like A Politician During A Disaster. 

 Perhaps Head Coach Todd Bowles Told The Truth, Some How The Force/Spirit Of A Two-Year-Old Super Bowl Still Retains Some Influence As If The Team is Still Living Off Of The Hype Past. 

 "We didn't earn it," Brady said of the loss. "We didn't earn the win. It's a game of earning it…we're just not doing a good job of that.” How Are You Not Earning? Where are The Failing Starting And Ending? From What I’ve Seen, I Think The Praise Over Brady’s Mastering Lightning Release Technique is Too A Disportioncate Level. He Needs A Full Body Of Reads, And Not Just One Then Check Down. Not So Much That The Play/Concept Designs Need Changing, But His Process— Slow Things Down Some. I Assumed Briefly After The Kansas City That The Bucs, Byron Leftwich Figured The Offense Game Plan Out, And Injuries Played A Part In The Slow Start. The 30-Point Explosion Felt So Short-Lived I Thought I Imagined Most Of Those Passes Happening. The Neurons Just Aren’t Firing As They Used To For The Past Years. I Guess As They Should. After Last Night's Bout With The Ravens, I'm. Slightly Encouraged. The Returned To a MORE vertical Attack. Brady Missed a lot of Throw But Sent a Few Dimes OVER the Post And Into The Bucket Of Mike Evans. But Finally, the Bucs Dont SEEM engaged Enough. Losing Doesn't Seem To bother Them Enough. The Bucs Still Have The Talent, And Even The Talents Have Drawbacks. 

The Bucs Offense Can’t Escape Itself; they Change. All Of Their Top Receivers Are Built And Play With The Same Framework. Leonard Fournette and The Last Place Rushing Attack Can’t Get Going Because Fournette’s Lack Of Vision. Honestly, He Rolls Wherever The Block Collapse. I Know Thats Not All The Time, But More Times Than Not. 

 No Foot In Ground Change Of Gear Potential; hammer Away Until Something Breaks Open, Like A Runaway Four Wheeler Or something. I Am Not Oppose To This Approach To Success, But For A Running Back, It’s Working Efficiently. The Bucs run a lot Of Power, And Gap Scheme Runs But Are Unable, Partly Due To Blocking Talent. Byron Leftwich can’t Deploy His Wide Receivers Into The Run Game With End Around Or Sweep Plays Because They’re All Big, Separation Challenge Monstars. The Bucs Have to Build Their Castle And Their Tomb With This Roster. The offense Has A superlinear way About Functioning. 

The Roster Build Not Only Limits The Play Calling Because Bucs Receivers Can Now Win On Certain Routes, Mostly Short To Intimidated Post, Drive, In, Or Route. The Play Calling and Use Of Creative Concepts Get Limited As well. No One on The Bucs Roster Can WIN A Clear Route Consistently. When The Bucs Employed Some Nameless Controversial Wide Receiver, The Route Concepts Could Stretch from Here To The Gamma Quadrant Because Antonio Brown(Ooops) Could make Every Route In The Route Tree With Near Unparalleled Potency. There’s A Famous Clip Of Him Dicing A Jets Defenders To Bits On A Cray Stop Route That Look Like A High-speed Chase How He Swerved In And Out Of His Breaks. And Defenses Can Key In On That And Response. Even The Giants, A TEAM who, By All Accounts For Lesser Talent, Can Achieve A more comprehensive array of Offensive Game planning. The Dearth Of Talent Opens A MULTITUDE of Ways Brian Daboll Can Use Each Price. The skill Position Have A More Well Roundedness To Them. 

Do They Have Fire and DESIRE? The Bucs Can Still Win The Remaining Nine Games On Their Schedule. My Face A lot of Team That Fall Between The Cracks Of Average And Bad. If They Do Win Out, That’s 12-5, As They Finished a Year Ago. Tom Brady Leads The League In Passing (Briefly). 

The Bears Have Won More Games Than Anyone Except Themselves and are Probably Expected To Win This Deep Into The Year. Matt Eberflus, In His First Season As A Head Coach, Took A Roster Whose Best Talents(Roquan Smith, Robert Quin(No More), and Even Justin Fields) Looked Destined For The saw Mill And trudge Together Some Wins. They’ve Had A Few Messy Experiences And Whatever You Can Call That “Eye Melting” Affair That Thursday Night Affair With The Commanders. Wins Don’t Have To Look Pretty This Year From What Prominent Coaches Are Preaching. Even If The Bears Don’t Win Another Game, Eberflus Needs Some Coach Of The Year Recognition. Three Wins Are “ Big Motion.” 

Under Eberflus, The Bears are Playing Tough In Defense Even If The Talent Hasn’t Caught Up With The Effort. with the Only Exception Coming In Week 2 Packers, The Teams Four Losses, We're Bang Bang Wire To Wire Fight With Teams Far More Talented and With Less Mystery Entering The Season. You Can’t Help But Root Or Support The Bears On Some Level Because They Have That “Little Engine That Could” Spirit About Them. 

Those Wins Have Price? The Bears Outside Playmaking Like Yesterday. The Best Place To Start, The Draft, And That’s Where The Winning Creates A Deficit. Not That Top Wide Receiver Don’t Come At All Ranges Of The draft, But Ever The Demand Grows; Sometimes That Demand grows Faster Than The Supply. Colleges, High Schools Whatever Clone Factory On Geonosis Produces Wide Receivers Cant Roll Out Another 2014 Type Draft Class. There are A lot of 2-5 Teams Vying For A Potential Makeover, Starting With Top Draft Choices. 

“You Have To Have A Long Term Vision For What You’re Trying To Achieve Here.” 

JT O’Sullivan Speaking On The Athletic About The Bears. What You Did Yesterday Won't Hold Any Weight Today. Plugging Scrambles Into Your Offensive Architecture Fits Into The Latest NFL Mold, But Scrambles Are “Scrambles” For A Reason. For A Successful Scramble, An Heavy Implosion Of Elements Has To Take Place. 

Fields Scrambles On 17.7 percent of his dropbacks this season, first among NFL QBs(Not Too Far Away From Daniel Jones(12.2). Fields, Justin Fields, Also Scramble Up The Middle A Lot, a Rather Unique, Even Mind-Boggling Figure To Pull Into Focus. Scrambles Are Absorted Play Calls And Failures--Dont Judge The Results, Judge The Intentions--That's The View Needed To Decipher A GOOD Offense From A BAD one and What having Better Talent Produces. 

Daniel Jones Took Off On A Few Scrambles Against. One Memorable One When Jones Failed To Recognize The Jaguars Blitz. The Jaguars The Also Fail To Secure The Containment, The Sack, And By Extent, Jones. The Giants Quarterback Then Takes Off For A Positive Gain Down The Sideline. These Are an Alot Of Scenarios That are Just Arent Universal. Scrambles Are, At Times, Negative Plays Initially That Turn Out Positive. If you’re High School Teacher Who Has students Who don’t Understand Why Two Negatives Make a Positive, There You Go. EPA Per Play On Scrambles is higher (.508)Than EPA Per Pass (.212). Even So, You Can Spam Scrambles. Those are Broken Plays, and Only a Few Quarterbacks Excel In That Relative Sample Size Of Scrambles Offered. The Numbers Are Skewed Because Of What A Small Number Of Quarterbacks Can Achieve On Their Feet. 

An Explosive Quarterback Can Catch a

Defense Off Guard Playing Off Coverage, Whiles Takes Off For Plus, But That’s Not Effective To Every Coverage Unit. It’s Impossible To Replicate, And In Football, Your Sucess Need To At Least Have Some Replica Nature. A Means To Quantify The Matter In The Grand Scheme. 

For Those Reasons, I’m Not Too Quick To celebrate Justin Fields Taking over Of The Patriots Game. Feild’s Still Ranks As The Worse Quarterback In The League. Football Outside DYAR Metric Still Slaps Him Below Baker Mayfield and Jamie’s Winston; Names Of Quarterback Quickly Fading Into oblivion. The Bears Are Still An Offensive Aberration. Luke Getsy Still Has A Long To Go Before His Passing Game Can Qualify As A Real Passing Offense, Much Less a Threat. Getsy Comes From A West Coast World Under Mike Lafleur. His Quarter, On The Other hand, is more Gun Slinger, Not Just In Mentality But In Mechanics.  

Heading into the game Luke Getsy The Bears Offensive Coordinator, Had Defense On His Mind, The Form Of Micah Parsons, Dallas Cowboys Linebacker. 

Luckily the Bear Face The Cowboys. In A Matchup That Might Prove “Lucky” For Both Foes. The Bear Can Kick A Team’s Defense In Teeth With Their Run Game. They Remind Me Of Kiba From Naruto Special “Fang Over Fang” With The Force and Similitude The Trio Kahlil Herbert, David Montgomery, and Justin Fields Can Attack A Defense. “We All Effect The Defense In Different Ways.” Kahlil Herbert told The Media. 

The Rushing Platoon Will Meet An A Force Like No One Has Seen Since Einstein Uncover The E=MC2 Formula. That Force Run Away Defensive Player Of The Year, Micah Parson. Field And Parson Faced Off Before Big Ten East Rivalry Matchup Between Penn State and Ohio State With Fields And The Buckeyes Coming Out On Top. The Two Then Sophomores In 2019 Didn’t Clash Directly Too Often—Penn State Needed Parson To Play In Coverage against Ohio States' otherworldly Spread Attack— But Parsons Did Blow Up A Design Run Attempt By Fields Late In The Game. Nobody Watching Or Playing Could Deny Parson’s “instincts and speed” and physical tools Would Carru Him Far Into the League, Not Just This Soon. With Hi Barreling Down and Banishing Blocking Schemes. Disappearing Momentarily Behind The Defensive Front Like An Invisibility Cloak Only To Appear Where The Quarterback Prognosticated an Opening In Zone. He’s a Handful and A Mindful(😏) For Any Offense. One Way To Slow Down An Instinctual Man-Beast Of Sort Thrown Tons Of Noise And “Window Dressing” In Your Offense is To Give Him More To Process and Ponder On Longer. How That Looks For The Bears… I’m Just Glad I’m Not The One With That Job This Sunday. 

The Bears Can’t Exclusively Focus Their Efforts On Parson And Completely Ignore The Rest Of The Boy's Defensive Studs(Travon Diggs, Demarcus Lawrence, Etc.). Justin Fields Has Just As Much Of That Freakish Bane(From Batman) Fluid at His Disposable. Parson’s Made The Play Of The Game. Bears Down Two Scores And Driving To Make A Play On Third And Long. Justin Field Dodges A Few Rounds Of Pressure To Deliver a Dump Off Pass To David Montgomery. Montgomery God Bless His Soul—Takes On The Behemoth 20 Plus Yard Challenge, And With Yards To Go He Fumbles. A Crowd Of Dallas Defenders Converge. Micah Parsons Falls On the Ball, and A Convey emerges As He Rises To His Feet and stakes The Ball Back to The End-zone. No Bears Player In The Vicinity Downs Him. Justin Fields Perhaps Remembers The College Days Leaps Over Paston—Impressive Athleticism, Questionable Decision Making. (After The Game, Fields Acknowledges the Lack Of Awareness On The Play.)

The Offensive Drive Ended And The Bears Went Off Hanging Their Heads and Not Continuing To Play. That’s The Bears On The Day, And That Could be The Bears On The Season. They Forgot To Secure The Stops—the Cowboys Zone Blocking Scheme Bludgeon The Bears. Tony Pollard didn't Need The Extra Carrriea From Ezekiel Elliott's Absence; Only 14 Carries For 131, A Scale Shattering 9.4 Per carry, and Four Explosive Runs, Including A 54 Yarder On Third Down To Put The Game Far Out Of Reach. The Cowboys' Defense; on The Other hand, he has No Interest In Running Around With The Bears Rushing. 

Dan Quinn Stack The Box And Meet The Traffickers In The Back Felid as Much as Possible. Micah Parsons Made another Wondrous Tackle On One of Those Collisions InThe Bears Pocket. On Reading Option With Feilds and David Montgomery, Parsons Just Set The Edge, Sat, And Waited For The Handoff, Trusting His Twitchy athletic Ability Would Help Him Squeeze The Ball Whichever The Run Broke Without Him Having To Decide. 

On Halloween Weekend, The Cowboys Welcomed The Bears To Jerry World. The Brightest Fun House in Football. What Do “Spooks” Or Purveyors Enact On Unlucky, Harmless Stragglers, Who Enter Their Playground? They Toy With Them? Last Season The Cowboys Lead The League In Offensive Plays Ran. That’s The Cowboy's MO. McCarthy Burns The Script Likes Like Tomorrow Might Die And God Going To count how Many Play McCarthy Ran As Good Deeds At The Gate Too Heaven. The Cowboys Found Themselves Down In The In The Play Calling Department, Like Down I. the Hole This Year. With Dak Off The Pitch Count Today, McCarthy Rev’d Up The Harley. The Cowboys had Every Level Of The Feild Checked Off. They could change the Passing Formation, Call for Tempo Or No Tempo And Run The Ball From Any Alignment. That Number Offense Started To Molting and parturiency Today With The Full Gambit Of Ways To Attack Against a Bear's Defense Not Highly Respected But “Tough.” 

If You Think You Know Sam Ehlingher, You Most Likely Don’t, And Why Would You? The Colts Unexpected Handed The Keys To Passing Offense To A Second Year Quarterback Whose Defied The Odds Because Frank Reich And The Colts BrainTrust Realized That Prolong The Problem Didn’t Solve On Converse Stalling Only Created more Problems. The Colts Decision Makers Are A Tight Collective: if You An Interview With They Follow Up Each Word Like “Borg .”This Unilateral Structure Has Drawbacks When Decision Making Boils Down To Finer Hairs.

When Ryan Came In, Reich sat Down With Him(As He Should) To Watch Film And Ultimately Instruct Him How To Run The Offense The Way Reich Wants The Script To Play Out. Like A Director And An Actor Employed to bring A Vision To Life. A Collaborative Process But Singular Results.

 The Results: The Colts are 28th in offensive success rate, 31st in EPA per play, and 31st in yards per play 6.8 Yards Per Pass Attempt—Some Of The Worse Numbers For The Colts That Defy Even The Lowest levels of Carson Wentz’s Era. As A Quarterback With Your An Arm Set To Exact, The Offensive Architect’s Wishes(From How I Understand Game Play) Like A MacBook Responds To Input. Command+FN+Z. Will A New hand Put The Colt Image Right? 

Every Scouting Report(Those) Proclaim The Former 6th Round Pick A Career Backup. Maybe His Journey Would Take A Similar Course Of His Opponent Taylor Heinicke. Heinicke Started Out Making The Rounds On Many Practice Squad Spots Before Spending Some Time Out Of Football, Then stint In Sub-League Like The USFL/XFL Or Any -FL Available. 

Now Instead Of a Long Afternoon Of Predictably Average Football, We Have A lot Of, How Do You Say, “Bizarre” Quarterback “Transitive Property states” Happening Around The League? We Know The Colts Are Never Shy About Throwing Their Cap Into A Quarterback Dilemma. 

The Patriots Have an Official Name Mac Jones The Starter Of The Team. Whether Thats The Right Choice, That’s A Debate For Barber Shop, Or An ESPN Panelist Article. From My Perspective, The Move Made Little Football Sense and a Touch Of Personal, Political Sense That Your First Round Pick Must StartNobody Knows Until The Results At The End Of The Season. The Cowboys Put Dak In, And The Stampede Of Passes Can Emerge. Mike McCarthy Has His Sight Set To Regain His Control Over The Team. Malik Hooker Took Over For Ryan Tannehill (Unexpectedly). The Phantom Of Parity Has Turned The Quarterback Position On Its Head. NFL Teams Have Learned What The Rams(And Potentially The Colts) Are Suffering Through Now; Team Building Trumps Stargazing. Building Shrine To Your Hubris Can become A Tomb. 

Anyway, To The Game. 

Sam Ehlinger Showed “Stuff” Against The Commanders. I Would Not Say “Promise” Per Se Just Yet—Though sixth Round Picks Have Ended Decades Of Ineptitude Before. In His Limited Attempts(23), You Could Tell The Difference Between A Quarterback Sort Playing the Impostor In The Offense and One Who Knows The In And Outs Of The Ropes Like A Wrestler. He Netted 201 Yards, That Places Him About Nine Games Out Of Ryan's Passing Numbers On The Season, But His Play Gave The To Hang There Cap On. “He Looked Good.” Frank Reich Said After The Game. Ehlinger Also Moved The Ball Down Field With a Consistency of 8.7 Per Throw. Both Paris Campbell And Alex Pierce Had Big Games Through The Air Both Finished With Averages Over 20 Yards. The Colt's Held Took The Lead After One Messy Drive After Another. Before The Commander Muscle The Game Out. I Didn’t Love Heiniecke This Game. He Went 9.0 Per Throw For 279 Yards And One Touchdown.

Usually, I’m One To Stand On My Guys( In A Supportive Fan Way), Especially On A Good Day. Sure Heinicke Notch had An Impressive game Winning Drive, But He Looked “Timid,” Petrified Even. When the Camera Panned On Him In Moments Of That Last Drive, I Thought He’d Seen Ghost In The Crowd Halloween. Credit To Him For Holding His Composure. Of Course, Whenever He Hits “The Find Terry McClaurin” Homing Beckon Button, Something Good Might Set Off. He Made A Dazzling Escape From Pressure To Keep The Commander Drive-Alive. Dodging Pressure and Rolling out Right And Hitting Curtis Samuel. I Won’t Make The Carson Wentz Comparison, But That’s A Sack With The Taller, Statuesque Marksman Like Wentz Behind The Center. 

To Seal The Drive, Heinicke Sent Up A Streamer Of A Almost Forty Yards Pass From Mid Field To Set Washington Up At the Goal Line. McClaurin Fights The Ball Away From Stephon Gilmore.  

McClaurin Account for 61. 75 Percent Of The Commander's Air Yards On His away To 6 Receptions, 113 Yards, One Touchdown, and 33 On That One Game Breaking Catch. Running back Antonio Gibson Saw An Up Tick Inn His Targets Share, Like Launching Into The Stratosphere Type Uptick Since Heinicke Took Over. Gibson went From Forgotten To 7 For 58 yards For Touchdowns In The Receiving Game— The Heaviest Work Load He’s Seen Since Week One Against The Jags And 94. receiving Grade From PFF. But For The Aniston Part, The Washington Offense Put The Three And Outs On “Brrrr.”
