    Immune from criticism

    He was certainly not immune to criticism in other venues. Forget about the roster; the Seahawks looked dysfunctional this offseason. John said they fired Pete for underperforming with the current roster and then went out and got a young head coach. Fine. Do they pair him with an experienced...

    Baker, 4th to Titans for LB Ernest Jones IV

    Agreed. Jones fits in nicely with the Seahawks' defense. He doesn't need to be elite in coverage because we have the pass rush and secondary to hide him while he develops in that aspect of our scheme. He's also a good enough blitzer that hiding him becomes easier. So if he can marginally improve...

    Patrick Mahomes says Chiefs will push ball downfield in 2024

    Mahomes just doesn't have the weapons to push the ball downfield. Their entire offense revolves around horizontal throws and Taylor Swift's boyfriend finding space in the zone. Things should open up with Hopkins, forcing defenses out of two high and opening up those downfield passes.

    Baker, 4th to Titans for LB Ernest Jones IV

    The problem is that our media and fan base have been talking about the "Roquan Smith Trade" as some pivotal moment needed to shift our defense from the bottom five to the top five for months. So, when the comparison is made, that's the underlying connotation and expectation. Now, it's pretty...

    Couldn't you say the same thing about Jones?

    Baker, 4th to Titans for LB Ernest Jones IV

    I don't see the Roquan parrellels. He was an all-pro and is one of the two best all around LBs in the NFL. Jones, on paper, is currently a run stuffer. That happens to be a position we need, but it's not nearly as valuable a skillset. That's why the Rams didn't want to extend him for big money...

    HOF Finalists Trimmed to 50

    I am once again willing to die on the hill that Alexander is a Hall of Famer. Unfortunately, he's missing the Super Bowl, so he doesn't have the MVP/TD/SB trifecta that all but guarantees admittance.

    Derrick Henry

    It's less about the Ravens O-line and more about Lamar. The defense can't fully commit to stacking the box. They have to shadow Lamar, so at least one defender will react slowly to Henry, and when you stack the box, you have man coverage on the outside. Pick your poison. This is a...

    ME3 to start!

    It's worth noting that until 2021, Russ was a juggernaut in most advanced metrics. At one point, he was one of the most efficient down-to-down QBs in the league. Now? He's one of the least efficient. As Russ has aged, two significant things have happened: 1) His success rate, defined as the...

    Aros' Fearless Prediction Thread (vs Bills)

    The Bills have an above-average pass defense and a good run defense. Fortunately, like Atlanta, their strength is not in the pass rush; they are ranked bottom 8 in most metrics. So, I think our offense matches up reasonably well with them, even without Metcalf. The Bills haven't excelled when...

    Follow the thread. I'm responding to the question of whether we'll save money or not.

    Baker, 4th to Titans for LB Ernest Jones IV

    Nah, man. I'm just not much of a reactionary. I see people posting his PFF grades from last season as evidence of his potential impact while failing to acknowledge that PFF also ranked him below Baker and Dodson in the offseason. Why? Because he graded out as an elite run-stopper and a liability...

    Baker, 4th to Titans for LB Ernest Jones IV

    Considering Baker's contract structure, Seattle probably won't save any money on this trade. Eighty percent of his contract value came from his signing bonus and upfront guarantees.

    Baker, 4th to Titans for LB Ernest Jones IV

    Going by PFF, this kid has had one strong season, and he's been about as effective as Baker this season. He may be a better fit in our defense, but we'll see how much of an upgrade he is. Still, I like it. Baker wasn't the long-term solution; this kid is younger and has more upside. That said...
