What new Patriots WR A.J. Brown has to look forward to working with New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels:

This might take awhile

The tackling epidemic has reached new heights

Watching the Saints tape for the Tyler Shough Rookie Report.

Main takeaway is we are all collectively too low on Chris Olave.

Dudes gonna lead the league in receiving yards some day.

@CoachDanCasey Man I need to go back and watch this game - absolutely exquisite play calling from Ben and Kliff all game

Going back to NFL tape after watching college ball for 3 months

[Thinking Football @ThinkingFtball]

@CoachCroyle This is a false start

[Thinking Football @ThinkingFtball]

@PsicologoFA That 2011 Patriots offense is still my fav all time

The manipulation from heavy to empty sets whilst never changing personnel was unstoppable

[Thinking Football @ThinkingFtball]

Covering this team was so fun, gotta get some more retro breakdowns out this offseason

Any suggestions?

13p PA + Randy Moss…

Good luck, folks.

I've talked a lot on here about how 'Coaching Hard' can be negative

This is how to do it postively, and with intent! Phenomnenal leadership and coaching

@ManGotNoMaidens Surely another much maligned outgoing GM for a franchise desperate for a QB won't make the same decision! Surely not, that'd never happen in the national football league

[Thinking Football @ThinkingFtball]

In a world where Kenny Pickett goes 20th and JJ McCarthy goes 10th

I don't see how Ty Simpson makes it out of the top 10

[Thinking Football @ThinkingFtball]

@Lockdown_81 @warnerbro All I have said is that his tape is better than McCarthy and Pickett

None of this is an evaluation on whether he is worth a top 10 pick - just that an NFL team is likely to do it

[Thinking Football @ThinkingFtball]

@warnerbro I've not said he should be, I'm saying if teams evaluate those other guys that highly, then someone will take him in the top 10

I see you aren't trying to have a conversation about how teams value the position, so end of discussion for me - have a great day!

[Thinking Football @ThinkingFtball]

@warnerbro NFL teams will overlook any deficiency if they think they found their man - that's it

They did that with Pickett and McCarthy and Trubisky and Lance etc etc. and someone will do it with Simpson too!

@warnerbro I'm not at all, I'm trying to follow your train of thought!

Your argument lists stats to start, which I disagreed because the film is better - Then you said starts matter, so I mentioned two guys who barely started, then you said athleticism, so I countered that too /1
