@DataInPlay@RobDemovsky Pretty much my read as well. Not a PFF / NFL Pro subscriber, so haven't done a deep dive into the numbers / film, but I'm also assuming some of that is that the Z and X receivers have been covered and he's getting burned by the Y
@DataInPlay@RobDemovsky That's huge - nickel corner is obviously such a tough position to play, but felt like he hasn't been 100% last few weeks, so hopefully can get right during the bye week
@friscojosh@ProFootballTalk There is sort of an interesting point that it raises with regards to future trades - if you get screwed like this by a GM, would you ever trade with them again?
Instinctually I’d say no, but perhaps GMs don’t think emotionally
@ScoopBertman It’s pathetic (and frankly a little sad) seeing these knee jerk reactions from these “established” baseball guys who are seeing the club grow
@VandyonTigers Heavily disagree, John. This is the attitude that would’ve kept Jeff Luhnow, Farhan Zaidi, and Andrew Friedman out of the game.
And for what? A 50 year old, road dog scout who can hold a stopwatch, nod, and say “good make up on that kid”?
@wendellfp If you’re going to risk a RB, feels like you take that chance with MarShawn Lloyd.
And Coleman Owen for Skyy Moore seems like a worthwhile risk.
@tejfbanalytics This is a very thorough analysis - two points questions:
1. At what point, if any, is it fair to assume there’ll be regression for teams who pass so heavily like the Bengals/Packers (given colder weather)
2. Surprised to not see the Packers further to the right
@TheCheeseKing__ I wouldn’t read into it too heavily - light jog through practice = opportunity for guys who are a little banged up / need days off to rest. Would expect both Bull and LVN back tomorrow
@tejfbanalytics Perhaps they did inquire, but I would’ve loved to see the Raiders get more for him. Vikings are desperate, and this was objectively the best move to save their season, feels like they could’ve (should’ve) gotten a second, even if it’s an 8 game rental
@tejfbanalytics Gives them 5 1st round picks and 4 2nd round picks over the next 3 years.
In a year you’re already punting with Jalen out, this helps open the next-5-year window for the Eagles, Howie Roseman masterclass
@tejfbanalytics What gets lost on a lot of fans who complain about the “moon balls”, is because you have 2 absurdly fast receivers, you basically have to put 4 DBs on them (combined) to stop the deep game.
So you’re stuck choosing between stopping the intermediates and the deep ball
@patsnation0815@EricMil42852846@DennisSuttonSZN 2 points -
1. Strong run game opens up the pass game, and Gibbs gashed us for 115, still had to respect that by playing 6 in the box
2. The Goff disrespect is unreal, dude’s having an incredible year and has Amon-Ra and Jamo to throw to, am I supposed to feel bad about that?
