Week Six Takeaways
If You Correctly Guessed Ahead Of The Season, That After Six Weeks, The Giants And Jets
(Two of Lowliest, Winning Averse Teams In The NFL) Would Have Better Records Than the Bucs And Packers; you'd Mostly Just Received Your Medical From An Asylum Or You Next Cheque Form Winning The Lottery. For That Record To Stand 5-1 And 4-2 , No Less. The Two Nominal New York Teams, The Giants and Jets, Beat The Packers In Back To Back Weeks. They Have Become Archetype For A Football Perimysium Or Merits To The Old Adage Of Hard Work Over Coming All Obstacles. The Jets And The Giants Have Winning Formula.
The Football gods Swing The Pendulum Of Parity In Favor Of “No One.” The Eagles At 6-0 Are Equally Surprising Running Away With The NFC. Geno Smith Had His Most Average Game Of The Season. Fortunately, Beat The Cardinals, Whose Only Scoring note On The Day Came On Special Average, Surpasses The Mark. Kyler Murray Can And Evade Defenders(For 100 Yards), But He Can’t Escape The Falling Expectation Shrouding him And The Cardinals. The Cardinals Get Wideout Deandre Hopkins Back For Next Week's Game. Fully Active On The Roster, He’s Speeding Through Space Like Goku To Name,k But Will He Reach In Time To Save Their Season? The Seahawks Are Doing Their Own Thing.
Those Overbearching Narrative About Another Top Ten Pick Coming To Seattle. A Downtrodden Offense: Consuming Below Average Amounts Of Coffee In Seattle, Not Under Pete Carroll.
Giants Vs. Green Bay Packers
Can The Giants Keep Up This Seemingly Incandescent Start?
I Know The Media Has a Duty To Protect The Product and to pass Off This Early Offensive Malaise As A Result Of Parity Amongst Teams.
Because I Don’t Believe Parity Can Ever Truly Exist In The NFL. Schedules Are Conditional. Not Like The NB, Where Every Plays Everybody at least twice—If You’re In A Down Division In Football, You Counts Six Wins Automatically. Team With Higher Expectations This Seas are Playing A Fencing Style Of Football. Faint, Guarding, And Parrying Themselves Rather “Attacking The Day” And Some Like The Rams We’re Just Plain Overrated. The Giants Suffer One Loss Entering Week 6 And Remained Amongst The Choice Surprise Teams In A World Filled With Hyped Teams that Are Down Bad. With The Packers Game The Only Exception, New York Hasn’t Beaten Anybody Of Note, Excluding Their One Off Victory Against The Packers. The Giants Are Now the Top 11 Offense In The NFL, And Their Chance To Make The Playoffs is 51.9%, Nowhere Near “The Not”? They Started The Season.
After Beating Tennessee in Week 1, I THINK the Giants Stepped Into The Titan's Shoes Or Absorb The Ability Of Their Fallen, So Far Three Of Their Four Wins Have Come Within One Score. If You Recall, The Titans won a 6-8 Close Game Last Year. The Giant's Offense Had Also Found A Way To Produce That OLEAGINOUS Quality Of “Resilience” With Two Digit Leads Fell Versus Two Teams When They Were Heavy Underdogs. Thanks To New Coach Brian Daboll, The Giants Could Finish This Year In The Wild Card Or, Depend On Some Crazy Luck In The Drivers Seat In Their Division. This Year's Bengals Who Kept Pulling Out Of Thin Air And Took Stage at The SUPERBOWL. One Stark Difference. This Giants Team struggles Passing The Ball. If Not For One Chicago Determine To Plow Down Trees With Their Ground Whiles Justin Fields Develops And Work Through Reads, The Giants Would Have The Most Limited passing in the League. Not The Worse By Advance Qualitative Metric Like DVOA.
Struggling Out Of Shotgun that’s Nothing New In NEW York, but the Blame Doesn't Fall On The Quarterback, With Daniel Jones Playing That Role. The Giants Have The Third Highest Cap On Receivers This Season But Not A 100 Yard Receiver On The Year. The Giants Have The Second Lowest Average Yards Per Reception and The Second Lowest Receiving, Sterling Shepard, Their Best Receiver, Saquon Barkley, The All World Running BA, CK, and Some Other Guy Name David Sills And Richie James, Seventh Round Pick. Kenny Galloway Lasts Year's Big Free Agent Pick With A Soaring Cap Number High Enough To Threatened The Empire State, hasn’t Amounted To Anything(2 Catches All Year).
What Helps, Defense. The Giant's Passing defense Allows The Fifth Lowest Passing Yards Per Game, Tied With Denver At 204.4, Right Below The Bills. That’s Despite Having One Of The Sorriest Roster In… “Sorriest” A Little Extreme More Diluted. They Don’t Have The talent Of Buffalo Or Denver. What they Have, The factors That Have to Help Them To 4-1 Circumstance and Fortune. The Giants Play At A Slow Pace, and The Panthers, The Cowboys, And the Packers Also Play Similarly Sluggish. The Titans, Panthers, And Bears Are all at The Bottom In Plays Per, The Cowboys Are Not Far Ahead, and The Packers Are In The Middle. Because The Pass Happy Era has Enter A Recession of Sorts, The Giants Haven’t Faced any High Octane Teams, Only a Group Of Conservative quarterbacks antagonistic Teams. So Far, Five Teams Have Combined For 91 Receptions Fewest In The League On 153 Attempts.
What’s More, They won't Play Any Teams Ranked In The Top Ten Passing Attempts Until Week 16 And The Colts(Who Don’t Scare Anybody) The Week After. The Giants Have Path To Playoffs. A lot of Close Low scoring Affairs, But Daboll’s Coaching Should Keep The Team Locked In. The Giants Needed To All 60 Mins Of Locked In On Playing High Functional football. At Any Point, The Locked In Talons Of Baltimore Came Down Time and Time again; the Giant's Playmakers Would Rise To The Occasion. Facing Another Double Ten Point Deficit, The Giant's Chances To Keep Their Overcoming In New York Look Lost. No More Would Get By Surviving Off Brand Play Daniel Jones. Jones Threw For A Sample Size 173 Yards. He’s The Poster boy for Models That Compare Starting Performance Against Average Quarterbacks. Raven’s Corner Marcus Peters Nearly Nipped Away “Would Be” Interception Off Of Jones That Would Have Ended The Game But A Pass Interference Call In The End zone Overturn The Results. Saquon Barkley Knew The Assignment. One Yard Touchdown To Take The lead Leaving The Giants One Possession To Go Fore Another Comeback Win. Mr. In The Spot Light Thibodeaux To Tally His First Sack. There Is Some Quarterback You Have To Trust To Loss Games For You. Usually, Those Quarterbacks Are Daniel Jones, But This Lamar Jackson Enter That Fold. Trying To Extend The Play, The drive The Season Jackson Has The Ball Slap From His Hands. You Could Hear The Coins Dropping Off Of His Contract Figure With Every Tumble Of The Football. The Giants Recover.
On The Issuing Drive, Saquon Barkley Once Again Knew The Assignment. At The Entrance To the End-zone, UP A Score Barkley Slide Short Of The Goal Line. The Best Running-back In The League Would Have scored, But That’s Neither Here Or There. The Giants Are 5-1. I’m Not Ready To Raise Their Threat Level On The Giants Just Yet—Unless They Threatened Themselves. They're Still Mostly Getting By With Daniel Jones’s Average Play; the Ravens Still Broke The Faucet In Offensive Yardage For A Total of 406 Yards To The Giants' 238. But The Only Yardage That matters, In The End, Were The -8 Yards Lost By Lamar On The Final Possession. The Ravens Nearly Doubled The giants in Yards Per Play, 7.0 To 3.8, and Crushed Them On The Ground 211 To 83 Rushing Yards. Saying The Giant's Defense Made, The Different Feels Overbake. Lamar Caused That Fumble Just as Much as Thibodeaux(Not To Discredit His Play), with More Loose Ball Handling Than Shear Overcoming Of Wills. Maybe The Insight Of the Former Ravens Defensive Coordinator Gave The Defense Some Insight.
One Team Shot Themselves In The Foot The Other Played With the Offense On Safety And Didn’t Let the Game turn into a Shootout.
Chicago Bears. Vs. Washington Commanders
Amidst The Turmoil, Justin Feilds Still holds A Wealth Of Untapped, Straddle Down By Circumstances Talent. On Thursday Night In Chicago To Woefully Inept Offenses Meet Up For another Round Of Score Board Staring Contest. In A Seventeen Game Season, No Game Should Ever Fall Into The File As Meaningless, But Unless The Commanders Turn Their Season Around, This Might Be The One. Even As Far As Cosmetic Victories Go, The Commanders Got This Out Of The Mud. The Bears Wore Their Bright Orange UnisGood For Them--What I'm Always On Instagram. Aesthetic Aside from Justin Fields, He Looks Impressive Even In Struggles. He's Every Bit Tye Explosive Athlete That 4.4 Forty Time Denoted To Two Years. He's Not The Driven Force Behind The Bear Offense He Sums Up The Offense. Fields Finished The Game With 190 Through The Air and 88 On The Ground, But The That Didnt Count. We're The Most Impressive. On A Half Back Toss Play To Tail Back Kahlil Hebert, Who Took The Commander Stout Front To The “F Is For Front Door” For 64 Of The End Zone, Feilds sprinted Of The Back Feild To Throw a Block. The BEARS ARE running Their Pass Game Nearly Exclusively From Shotgun, With Feilds Taking Seven Step Drop Per Pass. That's Not A Real Stat, Just A CRITICAL Observation. Luke Getsy Has To Call Deep Drop. The Bears have Run A lot Of Deep Concepts Because Those Are The Concepts Feilds Excel At In Practice.
Fields Finished With an Average Depth Of Target Of 11.7 Against The Commanders And An Intended Air Yards Of 9.6 On The Season. If His Placement Meet Him At That High Point. That Void That Placement Between His Physical Ability And His Whiffs On Offense Prove Why The Best Play The Quarterback Position From The Head Down.
On The ground, His Easivneness Could Rival The best Ninjas In Konoha. Field Ducked A SACK Late In The 2nd Quarter Dead To Right. It Looks Like Two Players At Two Different Levels Of The Game; I Thought I Saw A Ja Maront Crossover On Grass. IN One-Two Move (A Side Kick And A Hip Flip), He Picks Up About 12 Yards. Like A Jackrabbit Out Of The Jaws Of Death.
On Shotgun Pass, His Drops Are Deep. Like Seven Plus, but His Foot Work Looks Brilliant. You Can See The Work He’s Put into His Skill. I SEE shades Of Deshaun Watson In Every Motion.
Fields Still Stand As A work In progress But A MEGA project. Field Tacked 7.0 Per Attempt Passing and Over SEVEN per Rush Account For Nearly 70% percent Of The Bear's 392 yards of offense. His Numbers On The Season Aren't a Pure Reflection Of his ability. His Comments About “Tired” Of “Almost Being There” Comment Has Made A Few Rounds, Sound Bite Of The Year Nominee. To That, I Would Say You Should Get “ Tired” Of Falling Short, To Quote Hurts Who Shares a Similar Play Style and Trainer With Justin Fields, “The Only Way Is To Climb.”
The Fate Of Ron Rivera And His “Quarterback” Carson Wentz Both Reside With Wentz’s Ability To Run To Run Scott Turners Offense, And Thursday The Forecast Looks no Different. Cloudy With A CHANCE of Fire And “Fire Sales.” The Commanders Are Too Talented For Five point Victories. Credit The Bears For Playing Tough Defense, But The Win Over Halts And Four Game Losing Streak, and For Ten Days, The Shroud of The Press is Asking Question And Calling For Jobs.
Bills Vs. Chiefs
I’m Nothing Of a Schedule Nerd. Even After Watching The NFL Weekly Previews, I Still Wait Until Sunday To See What Catches My eye And What storylines To Running On Air. But The Preview To Week Six Of The NFL Schedule Showed Some Promising Matchup With No Limits To Implication As The Curb To The Half mark, The Trade Deadline, Tye First Round Of Bye Weeks Are Around, And So Forth. The Chiefs And The Bills Spent Most Of The Week Play Mario Kart, Smashing And Swerving Each Other In And Out of First Place On The Census Power Rankings. Both Teams Were Stricken By Serious Cosmetic Surgery This Off-season.
The Bills Got An Nit Tuck The Chiefs An Entire Offensive Over Haul. Both Have Turned Stellar Results, Almost Inspite Critical Flaws In The Run Especially. Until The Monday Game Against Oakland, NFL Offenses This Season Haven’t Gotten The Chance To Test And Prod The Chiefs’ Defense Because Patrick Mahomes And Offense Either Put Teams Down Early Or, In The Case Of The One Lost To the Colts, A Special Teams And Penalty Fop-a Stole Much Of The Credibility Behind The Game.
In Football, No The Other Football, On The Pitch The Feet Of The Worlds Most Astounding Athlete In Maybe Modern Sports Leaves Minds In Awe “Day-In-Day-Out, Ankle-In-Ankle-Out,” The Name Erling Haaland, Football’s Golden Standard. The Physical Profile On Him Stretches Course; he is Tall(6ft 4Inch), One Of The Fastest clocking (36.3 km/h/10.1 meters per second), Nimble, And has Nifty Ball Control In Tight Space. Maybe NotAs Agile As Christian But A Build In A Laboratory Type Of Athlete. The Norwegian Haaland Has The Qualities Of a Football(Soccer) Chimera.
Since He Joined The PremierLeague(England's Highest League In The Sport) This Summer—After Dominating Euro 2022 and Germanys Bundesliga—He’s Kicked Goals At A Torrid pace, So Much His Misses Make The Highlights/Mentions. Leaving EveryOne Watching, Wondering, How Do You Stop This Guy? Trying Matching Up Height, Speed, Skill, Even At The Highest Levels, So Far No One Can Achieve That Strategy Level: Command Not Found. Haaland’s Only 22 Years Young But He’s Already Reach That Mythical Paragon Stage In His Sphere. The Stage When Plaudits Convert Your Name Into And Adjective Like “Jordan-esque .”Bill’s Quarterback Josh Allen Has His Sights On That Level Of acclaim. Watching Ball Out, Sometime You’d Think He’s Almost There, But He Misses The Bar. He Stumbles Over Subpar Performances Too Often For Me, But He Needs To Have Every Bow In His “Green Arrow” Quiver Ready For Reach. I Need To Tread Softly Around The Term “Explosive” DownField Stuff, The Underneath, The Away and Into The Boundary Work, And Ofcourse Steamrolling Guys With His Legs. The Bills Pulled Off A Hero-ing Win 24-20 Over Rival Chiefs.
Eagles Vs. Cowboys
When The Bills-Chief Dont Send Gooseflesh Down Your Spine, Dallas-Eagles For The Fate Of The NFC Will. Dallas Has Carved Through The Other NFC East Opponents Thus Far, And They Meet Face To Face With The Boss. For Dallas, The Same Ring Tone Hit Every Game, Pass Rush, Pass Rush, Pass Rush. Buzzing.
By Now, You know The drill. We Ring The Alarm When The Cowboys Are Getting Home With Four Rushing, Total The Most Pressure With Four.
At A Higher Rate Than Average, Team Gets In With Five(Or More). The Rave Reviews For Dan Quinn Have Gotten So Rousing You’d Forget Mike McCarthy Still Heads This Team. Everybody Knew When Dak Prescott Went Down, Leaning On The Defense Would Help Stem Absolve The Pressure On The Offensive Responsibility To Win Games, But They’ve Stepped In And Taking Over The Show. The Face The Show Stoppers Or Show Starter, It’s Your Preference. The Cowboys, Second In Sacks And Pressure To The Niners, The Eagles Who Are Fifth In Sacks and Second In Passer Rating, Aren’t Strangers To Defense. But The Battle On The Low ground Doesn’t Favor The Cowboys, Who are Facing Their Best Offensive Line Of The Season. They’re Facing The Best(Maybe) In The NFL, And I Have To Think They Hold The Advantage In This Matchup. The Cowboy's Four Primary(Those With Over 100 Pass Rush Snaps) are Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, Dorance Armstrong, and Osa Odighizuwa( I Was Today Years Old). The Weight is Around 261 On Average, with OSA Coming In At 280lbs, The Heaviest, And Micah's 245lbs, The Lightest. On Average, They're Giving Up 52 Pounds To The Eagles Offensive Line. The Cowboys Use A lot Of Finesse And NASCAR Rush Style, Heavy twists, and Stunts To Throw Offensive Lineman Formations Off the Platform. The Cowboys Also Influence Matchups That Allowing The Defensive To Choose Who they Want Their Best Pass Rushers To Attack On Given Down. If Offensive Lines Show Or Given Indication Of a Slide Block To One Side Or “Funky,” a Stunt Can Free Up Room For a Specific Pass Rush To Find Free Space To Attack Openings. The Boys From has a Synergy To Their Bodies That Forces The Opposition TO play By what The Cowboys Dictate And Not By What The Offends Intends To Achieve On Any Given Down.
The Veteran Experience If Jason Kelce And The Eagles' Familiarity with the Cowboys Will Have More Prominence Than Ever In This Heavy Weight Matchup.
The Two Forces, The Best Pass Rush, And Best Offensive Line Will Meet Again To Do Battle In The “Run Game” Where The Cowboys Are average And That Weight Class Matter Shifts Even Heavier In Favor Of The eagles. The Eagles have Their Dictum Of Defense. They Lead The League In turnovers, 9, Four More Than The Cowboys.
Both Teams Come Into The Game Average against The Run Smack In The Middle (13,15); the Cowboys Were Coming Off Of A Game When they Allowed 38 Yards To The Rams. Emphasis On “Allowed.”
The Eagles Have The Bodies Up FronT In Jordan Davis and Fletcher Cox If they Either Play Enough Snaps. So Far, These Most Teams Have Had To Play Catch Up With The Eagles, Meaning Fighting Against a Rushing Attack Hasn’t Factored Much In Their 5-0 Run Thus Far. The Lions And Their Prolific Blocking Scheme Proved More Than Capable Of Rushing, But Nobody Else(commanders, Eagles, Cardinals A Little…) Manage To Burst The Middle. The Cowboys Don’t Have Any Three Hundred Pound DL Who Redirect The Flow Of Flooding Rush Attacks.
“I Dont Think We’ve Seen Jalen’s Ceiling.” These Days Jalen Rarely Hurts Taking The Backseat As A Footnote Of Conversation Eagles In a Big Game. Matter Of Fact, I THINK Any Other Point Speaks/Signifies The Magnitude Of This Matchup.
One Of The Best Passers In The League, And The Growth He's Taken On From His First Season To Season Three: “Tremendous Progression.” He’s Evolved Into The Quarterback With Everything Eagles Need From The Position. A Steady Hand Delivers The As Nick Siriani’s Directs. Explosive When The Play Call Or The Defense Seeks A Splash, Steady Otherwise. The Eagles Are 6-0 Through Dousing A Rather Hot Rival Cowboys. The Belies The Level One Team Outclass the Other In This Matchup Of NFC East Hopefuls.

Patriots Vs. Browns
Two Men Who Held Clipboards On The Sideline At One Point For The Patriots Meet Up Today In Cleveland. Nobody Thought They’d Start As Early As They Did. One Jacoby Brissett Starts For The Brown, The Other Bailey Zappe Coming Off Of A Credible Outing In A Patriots Shutout Win. Both Quarterbacks Were Drafted In Fourth Round By The Patriots. Belichick Took Brissett Out of NC State In 2016 And Bailey Zappe, The Rookie, Out Of Western Kentucky. Both Quarterbacks Aided The Patriots In This Wim And Season, Rehabilitating a .500 Record. Another Week The Patriots Defense Puts The Clamps On Another Top Ten Offense. I Can’t Make Any “Zappe” Or Electric Energy Puns Because They Were All Taken By The Time I Post This, But The Real Quarterback Controller… Never mind, Bailey Zappe, In His Second Start, Got The Memo And Came Prepared To Attack The Cleveland Secondary. Zappe Average 8.4 Yards To Attempts While Spreading His 34 Attempts Around And Tearing Through The Cleveland Defense. Four Patriots Receivers Finished With 60 Yards Or Better, and Five With Four Targets Or More. Like A Pointillist, He Splattered The Cleveland Defense.
The Long Ball Has Continued Decimating The Cleveland Defensive Back Blockade, One Piece Of Rubble At A Time, Space Invader Breaking Asteroids. Last week The Rushing Game Carried The Patriots, Sunday, The Patriots had Five Explosive Plays In Passing, One Big Of 53 Yards To Tight End Jonnu Smith. Zappe Also Finished With 5.8 Completed Air Yards And A Longest Air Distance Of 39. 9; Zappe Didn’t Dink And Dunk His Way Too Big Numbers. His Playmakers created All The Yardage After Catch. Jacoby Brissett Also Help By Giving The Patriots Extra Possession To Control The Game. One That The Patriots Gave Back, But Hey Still Won The Turnover Battle 4-1.
Cleveland, On The Other Hand, The Offense Needs More Work Than A Return Of Deshaun Watson. The Lack Of Playmaking Showed FOR the Browns. Even Without Stephon Gilmore Or JC Jackson, The Patriots Secondary Can Still Take Away A Top Target, Sunday The Bullseye Landed On Amari Cooper In Cleveland. The Browns Big Off-season Trade
They caught 4 Passes For 44 Yards, 11 Yards Per(Math), 12 Targets,33% Catch Rate, and More Math. The Receiver Depth Chart Behind Cooper Remained A Concern Through The Off-Season, But The god Level Shinobi Running Game For Cleveland Should Cover Any All Wounds, Not Sunday. Playing From Behind The Scoreboard And The Turnover Deficit Forces Browns Tail Back Nick Chubb into stand By Mode And Kareem Hunt No Better. Chubb Did Add To His League Lead In Explosive Runs With An 18 Yard Run In the Third Quarter. Otherwise, The Browns Had Nothing Kicking On Offense But Field Goals, And That One Field Goal They Missed. Once They Fell, Coach Kevin Stefanski Has To Ask Jacoby Brissett To Go Higher Do More, Not A Recipe For Sustain Success. Tight End David Njoku Continues Eo Emerge A Viable Two Option, But He’s A Tight end Explosive won't Pop Up On His Madden Ratings Chart.
The Browns Fall To 2-4.
Gracefully Nobody In Their Division Wants To Win The Division. The Steelers Are 2-4, And, The Bengals, Are 3–3. This Division Will Come Down To The Wire, And Those Final Six Games Are Going Have Shilongs Worth Of Weight On The Playoff Picture.
The Only Team Not Threatening In The AFC North is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Generally Regarded As The Worst-Ish Team, The Texans Have Entered The Chat, Maybe.
I’m The First To Cheer When Trubisky Checked Into The Game With Every One Of His Nine Completions. I felt a Sting and Satisfaction Like Eating Spicy Food. Kenny Pickett Suffering A Concussion Is No Less Impactful. Pickett led a strong drive that finished with a Steelers Touchdown, But Mitch Took The Game over A Game That Could Easily Slip Out Of The Hands Of the Steelers Instead. Top Three Wide Receiver Chase Claypool Secured and Protected A Pass To The Boundary To Seal The Win.
I’m Not Worried About The Bucs. Sure Brady Looks “Old” He Looked A Little Old during His First Break In Tampa. But This Buc’s team, This Version, Still Has That New Out Of Box Plastic On It Like When Brady First Arrived. The Offense Needs An Identity. Are We Going Vertical or West Coast? When Brady said. “It’s our whole offense. …” I Felt That. After A Brief Moment Of reform In The Chiefs Game, They Went Back To Stalling Out.
To Have That Child Like Faith, That nebulous Reasoning, That Brady Will Right This Ship Feels Because He’s Always Good. For Another One, Martin Scorsese Feels Like a “Lazy” Argument For Belief In A Team. Things Don’t Happen Because We wish Them To, But I’m Sure Brady Can Make A Legitimize Conetender Out Of This Edifice Of One.
Colts Vs. Jaguars. Pt 2
The Colts Entered The Weekend With Plaudits, Screaming At The TV About Thursdays Arm Wrestling Match With the Broncos. Frank Reich On The Hot Seat. Matt Ryan Over The Hill. The Titans Look Like Kings Of The The South. With The Second Best Rush Defense By DVOA And Sixth PFF Grading. In A Season When Rushing Attacks Got Their Groove Back And Found A New Life Stoping The Rush Has Never Matter More. The Jaguars, On The Other Hand, Had No Respect For Their more Experienced Elders. Determine Not To Let Their “Promising Start To The Season Fall To Ribbon Right Through The Fist And Into hopelessness. After being unsettled after a Loss To Houston, The Jags Got out Of The gate Strong On The Ground. After A Colts Punt, The Jags Took To Offense, Starting With A Big Runs. Running Back Travis Etienne Took The Rock 48 Yards Into Indy In the Tail Of “How It Started” An “How Its Going,” The Jags Faltered On Early Momentum. Two Plays Later And One Sack After The Colts Defense Stripe Away Bright Start For who The Jags Fell Out Of Field Goal Range. That Sequence Of Plays Took Place In The First Quarter, But I Couldn’t Think Of Better Trailer For Jags Season Thus Far. The Jags Continue To Carve The Colts Front With Several Big Runs, But In Classic, The High Man Wins, Flying Beats Fighting. Matt Ryan's 389 Yards Passing And Three Passing Touchdowns Out Paced The Jags' 243 On The Ground. Trevor Lawrence Didn’t Struggle Per Se; His Presence Just Went Absent. The Jags Struggle To Sustain A Passing Attack Whiles The Colts Just Continued To To Charge-Back. Six Of The Colts Scoring Drive Ate Up Eight Plays Or More, With Ryan Swing The Racket 22 1st Down Through The Air To The Jags' 8 1st Downs Passing Down. At 3-3, The Colts Are Going To Live and die By The Arm Of Matt Ryan. The Arm That’s Produced Two Or Three Of The Highest Passing Yardage Figure Games This Season. But The Arm And The Team Can Suffer The Wrath Of An Arm That’s Unforgiving And Given Seven Interceptions(7). Doug Pederson And The Jags Look done. Losing To The Texans Had That Shock Back To Reality Like an “Open Your Mind” Strike From Yu Gi Oh. Like The Giants, I’m Not Going To Raise The Colts Threat Level After Their Mud Fight ”Sloppy Slog” With The Broncos Still Jumping Out Of The Frames. The Colt's Offense Alone Can’t Shoulder The Weight For The Miasmic In Denver—Mile has Notoriously Stigma as Difficult Environment To Score Because of The Elevation. Regardless The Colts Are The Lowest Scoring Total Point Team Despite Matt Ryan Finishing Week six With The Second Highest Yards.
Even At 2-3, Entering The Falcons Are Another Team Exceeding Expectations. Coach Arthur Smith Has Top 10 Offense In Points And is Probably Number One In Style In His Nest, And He has Marcus Mariota To Thank, Or Maybe Not.
Everything Starts With Run, Especially Wide Zone. Smith Likes To Get His Blockers In space, and His Runners On A Track Generate Positive Motion Like Spark to Alternator. The Run The Play “Look”—I say Because Im Just Observing—Well Scripted Design And Choreographed At Their Highest. You Can tell The Detail Are Pre-purposed and When Everything Rolls As planned. Most Coaches Have About 12 Play Scripts, Some Less, Maybe More, And Other To Alternate. Smith Has Expressly Lived Up To His Billing For “creativity and his ability as a play-caller.”
On Very RPO Pistol Heavy Like The Colin Kaepernick 49ers Offense Of Many Superbowls. Marcus Mariota Gets Behind the Center And Drives The Offense Like Shia
Labeouf is In A Transformers Movie. He’s The Most Frequent RPO Quarterback In The League, And RPO Means A lot Because He’s Not Much Of A Quarterback Else Where. Of Mariota’s 408/926 Yards Have Come On RPO. Roos Create Conflict Particularly For One Defender To Resolve. At Oregon, Mariota Turned The College World On His Explosive Running and Down Field Passing; after eight Years, Nothing Changed. He Entered The League Needing Grow And expanded, and More Or Less, He Deferred, Or Couldnt Grow Fast Enough To Stave off A Bench. He’s Never Developed Into A Complete Passer. On some Downs, You Can Shine A Spotlight On Some Of His Targets and How Hard He Locks Onto A Game. Mariota Throws A Perfect High Ball, Perfect For The Falcons Big Receiver No Much Else.
That’s Why Falcons Coach Arthur Smith Continues To Endorse Mariota As His Starter. Last Year The Falcons finished 29th in total offense. That’s up About 19 Spots So Far; 31st in rushing, That Up To Fourth, 24th in red-zone touchdown percentage, And Now They Rarely Miss In Those, Ninth Thus Far, And Sixth In DVOA.
“I worry more about situational football, turnover margin, making sure we are clean in the red zone.” Marcus Mariota’s Numbers Are Complainable, But They Don’t Need Him
in that Capacity. Just Follow The Scripptthe Falcons Had The Niners The Best Defense In The League. Usually, Not The team Struggling Quarterbacks Catch A break, But With No Joey Bosa, The Falcons Moved The Ball On The Ground At Will. The First Touchdown Drive Set The Tone. Pass, Run, Pass, Run, Pass... One Pass play Of 20 Plus Yards But Nothing Over Six Yards. Just Consistent Plays Staying Ahead The Chains. The Falcons Finished The First Half With Two Nearly Identical drives. The First And Last Before Intermission, Both 11 Play 70+ Yard Drives For Touchdown. The Falcons Took The 21-14 Lead. Never Let Go. The Niners Had Less Success. The Two Team
Play A Mirror, Multiversity Like Brands Of Ball Of Each Other. It Matter Whose Play Calling Out Dueled The Other. Establish The Run And establish Run and Put The Ball In The playmaker's Hand. The Falcons Rushed The Niners By 118 Yards (168-50). Three Falcons Players Had at Least one.
A Fumble Return For A Touchdown Forces Kyle Shanahan To Put The Ball In The Hands Of Jimmy G, Wind Him Up, And Let It Run. Jimmy G Couldn’t Escape Himself Today. By The Time His Second Interception Landed In the Hands Of Jaylinn Hawkins, The Falcons had Won The Day. Mariota Won’t Threaten Matt Ryan For The League Leader In Passing Yardage, But that 57.7 Completion Percentage is Good Enough For 30th in the NFL, And That Passer By passer rating (78.8), 27th Got A Serious Jump. He Finished 13-14,129 with two touchdowns. He Added Three 20 Yards Or More Touchdowns. Garoppolo Finished Just Short Of 300, 296 Passing Yards Two Touchdown Two Ints, 29/41.
“he gets us out of a lot of jams.” Smith Said Of Mariota.
No Jams Today.
In sports, As In Life, I Think We’ve Falling In Love With the idea Of “Processes” And “Systems” Almost To A Fault. The Possession Of a Model Or A Philosophy For The Inspirer Embracing The Call To Their “Best Self” Was Seen As The Railway envisioned As The Cause. Now Running Back and Forth Through “Processing” Became The Has Become A Scapegoat To Failure. Overhauling The Conscripts Of “Goals” And “Results” By Lathering A “Loathe-ful” Reality With Misguided Examples Of Success From Different Realms Of Ambition. I mean, The Journey Matters More Than The Destination. Well, The pin Moves From Progress Number Pick.
“Dream Too Much Without Fulfilling Reality” by evading What Constituent Success We Can Evade What Constituent Failure By Any Standard. (Jordan Peterson). By Now You Know The News, The Inevitable Happened, The Panthers Fired Matt Rhule. The Most Marginal News On The Season Considering Where The Panthers Stand On The Relevance Scale. That Jay-Z, Seven Year Model Of Success Expectation. Matt Rhule’s Intents Shouldn’t Fall Into The Void Of Rudderless Or Void-less Machinations But Misguided If Not Ineffectual.
“Trial And Error In The NFL Can Get You [Killed.]”The Athletic Football, Not Addressing This Specific Topic But The No Less Stands.
The Reason You Can Turn A Temple And Baylor Teams Around in Seven Years is Because Expectations Are Low, And Nobody Has Their Eyes On You; Nobody is Rooted For You To Fail In those Situations.
“Everything you do is going to be criticized. Everything you do is going under a microscope.”
Not To Say Aren’t Systems Valuable. You Need A System, And A Means To Update Said System But The System Exist Only To Perpetuate The System. Matt Rhule Didn’t Enter The League With Any “Specialty.” Kliff Kingsbury Entered The League Out Of Texas Tech As Offensive Oppenheimer. Pete Carrolls Defensive Hypochondriac Defensive Stratagems, Rhule Came out Of Baylor as The “Turn Around Guy .”No Matter However The Circumstance Behind Those Turn Arounds Took Place, Just Know Rhule Can Get the Work Done fast. The Results Were Queasy; Two Five Win Seasons( One Win This Year), A Caravan Of Starting Quarterbacks To Boot. Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Darnold, Cam Newton, PJ Walker, And This year's Lost Boy Version Of Baker Mayfield All Juice out Batteries That Couldn’t Keep This Offense. Sam Darnold's Three Games Run As Three Hundred yard Helmsman a Year Ago Still Stands as Rhule’s Best Stretch Of Football. Rhule Tried To Kick Start The Rebuild. In His Two, Carolina Handed Out New Contracts Like Out Cakes and Ran Through Draft Picks Even Faster. The Panther Paid $6 Million To Cam Newton For The Most Relevant Enunciations Of “I’m Back” Since Lil Wayne Came Out Of Jail. If Anything, The Players Will Remember Him Fondly. Rhule Didn’t Eat Alone.
Owner David Tepper Wanted Results Countable Results, Not Idioms.
“It’s winning,” Tepper said.
Clear and Terse. Think Of His Words As A Lens Over His Focus.
Tepper Addressed The Media As His Forlorn Panthers Enter Further Into Drudgery Of Unmistaken Failure. But The Goal Fogged Or Became Diluted, Less Defined. “Winning more this year than you did last year. “
Cloudier, A Little Less Define. He Continued To Lower Expectations.
“Have the appearance of winning more than you did last year.” He leers, A Rare Sight To A Billionaire Frustrated.
Expectations? Blurry.
If You’re Following, That’s Three Levels Down From Just “Winning.”
“Looking like you’re going to win more than last year.” Completely Undefined.
I DONT want to live in a world where We See Billionaires Not Getting What They Paid For. Trade Deadline Looming and A Tough Schedule Already Weighing Across Any Competitive Sense The Panthers Own Coming Into The Season. The Panthers Are Now The Subject Of A Fire Sale Trade Rumors That Could have “Arms Dealer” Added To The Depths Of David Tepper's Portfolio. The Panthers Have Some Talented Players Despite How Awash In Misery They’ve Stood This Season. They Look Something Like The 2005-06 New York Knicks. Some Interesting names are All On Big Caintracts; Christian McCaffrey, DJ Moore, and Maybe Linebacker Shaq Thompson. The Most Interesting Name On The Panthers Brian Burns. He’s The Only Star* Not “Paid” A Milestone For The Panthers At This Point. Burns, He’s A Unique Pass Rusher. Not That Because Of His Explosive, Angular With Rather Cool Spider Man Celebration After A Sack.
Burns Leads The Team In Pressures At 24. He’s 11th In The League In sacks With 4, 16 Hurries, and 12 stops Which Count As Negative Plays For Offense. He’s Played 33 Of His 306 Snaps In Coverage, Even Without An Interception; that's an impressive stat. The Only Other Edge Rusher In The League With 30 Plus Coverage Snaps and 20 plus Pressures Going Into Week Six Micah Parsons. He’s The Most Interesting Piece. He’s Cheap(For Now), And The Panther Are Dangerously Over The Cap And Have To Enter The Saint's Playbook Of Tricks To Cover Each Base Of The Roster For the Next Season. At The Lowest Threshold In The Matt Rhule, The Defense Always Could Provide a High Moment Or Two. Burns And The Panthers Had No Luck Against The Notoriously Vulnerable Rams Offensive Line.
