Stoked to announce that i’m joining Tennessee Tech Football as an Offensive Graduate Assistant! Blessed to be able to come back home to TN and have this opportunity.
The Cleveland Browns really declined prime Russell Wilson for the 2018
#1
overall pick (Baker Mayfield), just to do Baker dirty, trade 3 1sts for Deshaun Watson, give Watson $230M fully guaranteed, and may not get a single snap from him. I don’t feel bad for the Browns.
Dak Prescott’s processing being compared to Peyton Manning’s on
@TheAthletic
Football Show >>. “ Dak is the master, he is the closest thing we have to Manning at modulating tempo… everything flows through him” -
@OllieConnolly
Rare to hear his name respected, it’s appreciated
I drive for Uber as a summer job when home from college. Had some Cowboys fan riders just now.
They asked me what I thought of Dak Prescott, saying they wish they had Trevor Lawrence. I said I think Dak is great. They said “ well there goes your tip”. And they meant it. Stiffed
CeeDee Lamb saying the Cowboys need to surround Dak with just 1 more top playmaker, and Micah Parsons saying to go get Daron Payne is so fantastic.
And it’s the type of stuff that needs to be said that Dak and coaches are too afraid to say in public.
If the Cowboys go from Zeke counting $16M and Pollard at $1M against the cap to Zeke at $6M w Pollard at $11M, then you’re just flipping the ratios of the same total that is way too high for an RB room.
You can reduce cost by 50%+ and still get the same/near same production
@BrettKollmann
12 and 21 usage will go up and up the higher Nickel/Dime usage gets. Run teams out of defenses if they’re gonna commit that hard to the pass.
@BrettKollmann
Unfortunately the history of the Bengals proves Palmer right and it will stay that way until the ownership stops pinching pennies and actually invests in all the young talent on the team + adding more.
@BrettKollmann
All defenses are now cursed. 35 ppg per team is the new minimum. Over/Unders are in the 80’s. Running Backs matter again. Kirk Cousins now performs well on every MNF game. Julio Jones’ hamstrings stay healthy and he scores 12 TD’s a season now. What have you done
@BrettKollmann
Vrabel is slowly becoming a version of Tomlin where his teams, despite mulitple massive holes in the roster/staff, will exceed expectations by 2+ wins no matter what.
@BrettKollmann
It’s the initial MPH test, not the mid flight MPH test like Allen’s. Like when a MLB pitcher has a 110 MPH initial at the point of release but it clocks in at 95-98 MPH on the radar gun.
These comments are a prime example of what i’m talking about. I hate 90% of Cowboys fans. I pray my future children aren’t ever exposed to this toxicity. This is gross.
@Boro_United32
@BrettKollmann
By the way, that graphic is so disingenuous to the Rams trading draft capital for would-be-free-agents to then pay hundreds of millions for them (Stafford and his remaining contract, Ramsey + extension, Miller this year, signing Beckham for pennies, extending Floyd).
I am looking for a full-time paid job in football. I’ll move anywhere if i can make it work financially and am open to anything. Please DM me if you have any openings for:
Quality Control
Graduate Assistants
Scouting
Recruiting
Player Personnel
@BrettKollmann
I love “boring” CB’s just how i love boring OL. Technically sound, doesn’t see a lot of camera time because they don’t mess up/few penalties/don’t see the ball.
@WedgeBuster88
I don’t think people realize how valuable a high tier 2 QB is. That’s what Dak is and that puts him as a definitive top 8 QB with the specific number depending on the week. Stick Dak in the McVay or Shanahan offenses and he’s regarded as top 3 with a SB ring, maybe two.
@PriscoCBS
How? He’s not beating out Bryce Young or CJ Stroud for snaps. Let’s stop with bad hypotheticals that get even worse when you add context to the situation.
@jpafootball
@6Blackhawks
@K1
@dak
Dak’s processing alone beats Kyler. Dak is an elite processor and Kyler is a bottom half of the league processor and not getting better there. Once the athletic ability declines or when it gets contained even now, Kyler’s play declines heavily.
I think Mike McDaniel is a phenomenal offensive mind, but if he had any knowledge from the training staff of the true risk they were taking with Tua and still let him go out there, then he needs to be suspended without pay or fired for cause. As goes for the rest of the staff.
@sooner_big
You just named off QB’s while mispelling a few of them and 1/2 of them aren’t better than Dak Prescott. You’re not worth paying any more attention to.
@cameronsoran
Baseball is a team sport built on the collection of individual performances
Football is a team sport where in order for just one individual to succeed, someone else has to also be doing their job well. Likely many others. There are no individual successes or failures in football
@exploding_orca
You can say Lamar > Dak overall, fine. But saying Dak isn’t better than Lamar at anything shows you being a casual, because it simply isn’t true. Dak is better at more things than Lamar. Lamar’s scrambling and rushing ability is just so elite that it eliminates that gap.
@DannyPhantom24
This is comically bad “if-then” analysis. Tyler Smith has been roasted in pure dropback situations consistently all year, and allowed 7 pressures yesterday.
Factor in pressure allowed from other OL and Dak was pressured on 1/3 of his dropbacks vs NYG.
Sacks are a QB stat.
@PFF
@AndrewErickson_
How are Hardman and Moss in make or break years when they have barely had the opportunity to do anything?Hardman has a slight argument but Moss is in his 2nd year and in a split backfield. Singletary has a bigger argument for make or break year than Moss does.
@MitchellMay33
It does not, it comes from Brock Purdy being the 4th overall pick because Brock Purdy has become so significantly overrated that people think he’s good.
Checking into GT Counter out of the Nub set 🥹 makes Gardner fit the run/tackle, Martin makes an outstanding down block, Biadasz handles Williams, Quincy Williams goes a gap too far, and the safety misses a tackle. Art!
Dak Prescott has reached a new peak in a few things this past month: Decisiveness, accuracy/ball placement at all 3 levels of the field, aggression downfield, and confidence.
Raw stats won’t tell you that, but he will be the best NFC QB entering the playoffs this year.
Cowboy fans gotta calm down about the lack of aggression vs the Colts on offense. Gus Bradley runs a really disciplined C3 based defense. The tools Bradley deploys within their coverages is what makes it work. Moore used their philosophy against them to win through the ground
@robstaton
@kyronsamuels
He got pushed outside and up the arc. He wasn’t pushed backwards or towards the QB. He wouldn’t come close to touching the QB. This is an easy win 100 out of 100 times.
Among all QB’s in their last 5 games played, Dak Prescott is:
1st in Passing Yds
1st in Passing and Total TD’s
T-fewest INT’s
T-lowest INT %
1st TD %
1st passer rating
3rd Comp %
3rd Y/A
4th fewest sacks taken
1st EPA
1st EPA/dropback
1st in 3rd down EPA/dropback
MVP
Leadership, especially at QB, is so integral. Personality wise, I don’t want a nonchalant guy like Romo. I want a competitive psychopath like Dak.
Romo is a guy his friends on the team wanted to get beers with, meanwhile, Practice Squad guys would run through walls for Dak.
@es3_09
No, LEADERSHIP is an integral part of greatness & that is what Romo could never do. He made mistakes in crucial situations & was ultimately supplanted by a 4th round ROOKIE.
You can’t have outcome-based analysis if you desire consistency in your analysis. You have to have consistent process to get consistent results, and then refine the process.
Like in scouting, you don’t scout outcomes, you scout for the reasons why the outcomes happen.
@negativwishwell
@ericeager_
Well specifically in the game we're talking about, Myles Garrett was recorded by PFF as winning 40% of his 25 pass rush snaps, but only three actual outcomes.
The fact that Dallas went and got a NT shows they are recognizing deficiencies and trying to fix them. That’s new.
I think the guy they go get next is KJ Hamler in the price range of a conditional 2023 6th rounder
@JohnOwning
I will continue to die on the hill of Johnson as OG1 and Linderbaum as a future All-Pro C worthy of picking regardless of the LG situation. You take All-Pros when they come to you.
@BryanBroaddus
Yes, Dak is aggressive, but he’s also highly accurate and more calculated with his aggression than credited for. Only has 2 seasons above a 2% INT % and both years were with subpar secondary WR’s.
Aggression is in his DNA, turnovers are not.
@JoeyIckes
What he’s referencing guys is building big leads on offense so that when the opposing O comes on the field they have to throw it just to catch up, meaning runs aren’t even attempted.
The Cowboys' window to win is still open, but we don't know for how long. In my 2023 offseason plan for them, I break down what I do with the 2022 roster, free agency, draft, and trade market, showing how to manipulate cap to make it all fit easily.
Cowboys fans who think they are set at Tight End with Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot really undervalue that position and undermine the blocking ability needed at the position.
@Nate_Tice
Throw with anticipation they said
*Throws with perfect anticipation and accuracy on a field out*
“Who cares, that’s a routine throw” never enough for some people
@kyronsamuels
Because absolutely nobody has a real chance to succeed under Urban Meyer and i’m not saying a hyperbole when i say that. Literally nobody.
Dude was playing MVP caliber football for the last 2+ months of the season in year 2 with an okay roster. It was very impressive.
@elitetakes_
Rather him listen to outside noise and admit to messing up than double down on a clearly bad decision. Btw, it’s a bad decision even if McManus made the kick, bad process is bad process regardless of result.
@DrJesseMorse
So many problems with thinking, narrative, and agenda.
Used years 3-6 for Hill and 5-9 for Adams, their prime years with the best QB’s in the game. Then used Deebo’s only 3 years in the league to comp it. And then you give Hill/Adams (injury) but not Deebo in 2020. Be better
@robstaton
@kyronsamuels
Torrence is protecting for the pocket. The pocket is called the pocket because it is essentially an oval shaped “pocket” or area of space that the QB is supposed to be safe within. Torrence is pushing his man up and around that oval without moving into it. Clear OL win.
@JohnOwning
So what you’re really saying is that this will be the main thing Dak works on this offseason to improve now that a new weakness of his has been exposed. Since every time Dak has had a weakness found on him, he fixes it within an offseason.
Josh Allen has reached a new level. Still making all the same throws, but doing it with even more ease.
Also, this use of Gilliam at FB is doing wonders for their under center passing game. He can do everything a FB is asked, and his presence gets heavier personnel on the field.
@therealdre_jack
They weren’t even white, they were hispanic. No need for all that argumentative football stuff anyways. Point is they weren’t good people.
@JMoyerFB
The best way to play in dynasty has always been going for the win every single year. Work the trade market to find equal production from younger assets
I’m getting annoyed with Cowboys fans being mad at Kellen Moore because he’s the only OC they watch. And they don’t even watch him in context or know what he’s calling. It’s all end result based on whether or not he’s doing good. Moore has been really good this season.
People are mad at Mina for stating something she’s clearly right on?
They lost Chark (high end speed/size), Jamo (one of the 3 fastest WR’s in football), and their best WR is ARSB with no deep speed. They had to trade for Mims to have some version of an outside WR with speed.
Without Jameson Williams, the Lions offense may struggle to gain air yards—but with Jahmyr Gibbs, OC Ben Johnson has the opportunity to scheme up significant yards after the catch. Some thoughts on Detroit’s offense and how he might steal from SF:
Please for the love of God can Cowboys fans get over Amari Cooper and La’el Collins and be mad at the front office for not even attempting to adequately replace them? That’s the real problem. They’re not franchise-altering players. They’re replaceable.
@NotToBeTrite
The Colts getting Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck at the 1.01 within a 14 year span while also hitting on Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Jeff Saturday Dwight Freeney, and Robert Mathis.
We have a severe misunderstanding of the Mike LB position if we think Lavonte David touches Luke Kuechly. Phenomenal player, deserves some HoF consideration, but Kuechly is probably the most cerebral Mike we’ve ever seen and is probably a top 3 most dominant LB ever at his peak.
Lavonte David is a Hall of Fame player.
He's always been every bit as good (if not better) than Kuechly or Wagner, but their teams were better, so they got all the Pro Bowls & All-Pros.
Here's hoping LVD is rewarded for the player he's always been w/the gold jacket he deserves.
Cowboys had 7 consecutive years of play where Dak had a cap value worth less than what he was worth per year on the open market, and all 7 years the front office made 0 big free agency moves to fortify the roster. Yet Dak gets blamed. Lmao. Get that man an org that cares.
@VochLombardi
For you to move La’el to LG would mean you truly believe Steele is a part of your “Best 5” when in reality he’s the 7th best OL on the team. He’s what you want your swing tackle to be. He’s not better than 52, 66, or 63 and it’s not worth debating bc La’el to LG won’t happen.
@jphilinTX
@WedgeBuster88
If he had the same system that makes Jimmy Garoppolo look like a good QB, San Fran would be running laps around people if that was Dak instead. His numbers would be insane. Dak would be regarded as top 3 because of the sheer production he would have.
One of my weird things with Offensive Lineman grading is that if Duke Manyweather is privately training them, they’re going to at least be a competent starter. And yes it bumps up a draft grade. Somehow he doesn’t miss on making dudes noticeably better, and has done it long-term.
@BrettKollmann
I liked Strange. Had him in Rd 2. I think a lot of Smith’s success is because he’s in Dallas with Duke across the street to actually develop his skills and technique. Plus obviously his physical tools. Philbin isn’t why his hands are so much better now than they were a year ago
