    Zach Charbonnet

    The data historically supports the argument that Walker is higher variance/higher average while Charbonnet is lower variance/lower average. On Sunday Walker was stellar with 156 yards on 21 total touches for 7.4 yards per touch and a 10.47 yard standard deviation. Charbonnet had a lower...

    Zach Charbonnet

    There is an interesting discussion to be had here about RB usage, because thus far we haven't really been using Charbs as either a 1-2 punch or as the thunder to Walker's lightning. Modern NFL theory on RB rotation is that you try to give guys entire drives and that's what we've been doing...

    JSN

    JSN is still contributing on plays where he doesn't get the ball. If he gets wide open on a route then the defense has to react to that. We do have a lot of weapons right now and that's why you see DK getting open for catches instead of everything always being contested in his direction...

    ADB gets real (KJ podcast)

    You're obviously welcome to a different interpretation too. Here's the link if anybody wants to form their own opinion. 18:00 mark is Lynch discussing Wilson.

    ADB gets real (KJ podcast)

    These really are good and remove the need for a 30 for 30 IMO. The "someone" is definitely Russ, but there is an interesting discussion surrounding the decision of the coaching staff to coddle the franchise QB at the expense of team chemistry. We did win a lot of games with Russ over that...

    After 2 games: #3 in offense, #30 in defense

    If you're going by PFF grades then you should also know that two of their top rated players overall are Stafford and Goff. I have a feeling they are going to think more of our pass defense after we play Bryce Young and Daniel Jones, and that's one reason why you have to take these things with a...

    Is Geno Clutch Enough Now?

    My view is that nobody is clutch. There's a sizeable chunk of research that suggests the number of players who perform better than they normally do in key situations (Reggie Jackson) is what you would also expect due to luck alone. Most of the time, "clutch" players are simply good players...

    Run game

    Walker continues to be a high variance back in part due to his patience. There were a few plays where he could have gotten a bit more if had hit the hole more quickly, but that was more than offset by the plays where his vision and hesitation turned nothing into something. He's what you want...

    Sean Payton already complaining about Russ

    The wristband seems like a minor issue but is a larger problem given Russ's resistance to wearing it. If you told Brady he could get a 0.1% improvement from wearing a clown nose then he'd have not just worn one on Sundays but during practices and film study. Bronco fans are right to feel upset...

    Campbell Direspects Hawks

    Most players say that these close OT losses are harder to get past then the blowouts. Campbell is trying to turn the page quickly and shift the focus to the Falcons, who are coming in on a surprising hot streak with a 2-0 start. The message is to his players, and it's that they're going to...

    Roughing the passer

    I agree on both counts and properly written rules should account for both scenarios. Geno was clearly not intentionally grounding the football, so let's not call intentional grounding. If the opposing QB pretends to have the ball, then the defense should be able to act as if he has the ball.

    If Seattle loses all games before BYE

    Preseason stats should not be compared between individual players for two reasons. First, the opposing player talent is all over the board; one guy could be playing against NFL starters and another could be playing against players who were out of the league completely within that month...

    Elephant in the Room

    Stafford was a lot better than many here are apparently willing to credit. He was getting the ball out on time and placing throws perfectly into tight windows. Obviously a disappointing day for the pass defense, but one bad game where the opposing QB was elite. Our run defense meanwhile was...

    Why’re we deprioritizing Ahlers?

    Eiland is interesting. He was a senior at Mississippi St while Cross was a freshman in 2020 and has been kicking around our program for the last three years. He has the same length as Forsythe but isn't quite as athletic. The height causes him similar problems in the running game, as it's...

    Why’re we deprioritizing Ahlers?

    Greg Eiland, Jason Peters, McClendon Curtis and Raiqwon O'Neal are all tackles. Ben Brown is the backup RG who may see action this week if Lewis's shoulder isn't markedly better.

    Lucas to IR

    Yeah, the news doesn't seem great for Cross either. Really poor way to start a season, but at least we'll get to see whether the OC and Geno can step up to the challenge.

    Peters Signing with the Hawks

    I also thought that Curhan and Forsythe were the weak links when we saw the starters go out and then our OL play drop off. A rewatch tells a different story, as it was the interior OL really getting abused in the second half. My best guess is that the real reason our OL fell off the cliff in...

    This team has issues

    Our free agents were underwhelming, but that's par for the course in the NFL where players are overpaid once they are hit free agency. The glaring problem yesterday was that we did not get enough from our players on rookie contracts. Ideally, our last four draft classes would see a lot of...

    Aros’ Fearless Prediction Thread (vs Rams)

    We should win and I like our roster more on paper. However, the first week is always chaotic. Last year the Bears (3-14) beat the 49ers (14-3) by 9 points. The Buccaneers beat the Cowboys by three scores in Dallas. Two years ago, a middling Saints team beat the eventual 13-4 Packers by 35...

    Seahawks just restructured the prez

    Could you provide a bit more detail about why you think this made sense? As far as I'm aware, all we are doing here is borrowing $6.6m from 2024 and 2025. Slightly better for this year, slightly worse for those years. If we had a single year window then it would make sense, but the exciting...
