I’ve said from the beginning “@Bengals should have been putting in 3-5 guys a year in those first 2 -3 classes. If there were 3 more guys included in the class of Issac Curtis and myself I would have still enjoyed the honor and ceremony. We are so many years behind . The guys from the 70’s and 80’s deserve their recognition before leaving this earth. They should’ve been 1st! We have so many great players in team history picking 2 then next year 1. We gonna be like The Hall of Fame! 😂 just my 2 cents #Whodey
some thoughts on Lawrence to Cincy...
<buckle up>
Dexter Lawrence is a 28-year old stud
he spent most of his career playing vs elite interior OLs of the Eagles & Cowboys
he's been double-teamed at the highest rate in the NFL
he's now playing in the AFC North
Ravens lost their C
Steelers might start a 42-yr old QB
Browns have Deshaun or Shedeur
Lawrence should FEAST
the Giants were TERRIBLE when he wasn't on the field
last year, even in a "down" year for Lawrence:
Giants defense with...
Dexter Lawrence OFF the field:
#32 YPA (8.4)
#31 sack rate (4.1%)
#27 EPA/pass (+0.13)
#26 pass success (47%)
#23 pressure rate (32%)
Dexter Lawrence ON the field:
#7 pass success (40%)
#8 YPA (6.6)
#9 sack rate (7.7%)
#10 EPA/pass (+0.09)
#22 pressure rate (33%)
that was a "down" year for Dexter
the team was top-10 vs the pass when he was out there
bottom-10 when he wasn't
want a larger sample?
last 3 years:
Dexter Lawrence OFF the field:
#32 YPA (7.7)
#31 pressure rate (29%)
#31 pass success (48%)
#30 EPA/pass (+0.14)
#30 sack rate (5.5%)
Dexter Lawrence ON the field:
#8 pass success (42%)
#8 sack rate (7.4%)
#10 EPA/pass (+0.02)
#13 YPA (7.0)
#15 pressure rate (36%)
and again, the context is VITAL:
he was obviously the #1 best player on the Giants defense
every team knew it
they double teamed him at the #1 highest rate and he STILL made this big of a difference
and that was despite playing some of the NFL's top offensive lines in the NFC East as it relates tot he Eagles and Cowboys for YEARS
oh, and then there's this pretty ridiculous nugget:
JUST IN: Home sellers now outnumber buyers by 600,000.
That's the largest gap ever recorded in US history.
A $400K home now costs $960 more per month today than it did in 2021.
The housing market isn't frozen because nobody wants to sell. It's frozen because nobody can AFFORD to buy.
Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.
Ok, so which is it? I’ve seen reports of them trying to pair the two and now there’s this.
Can we just call it for what it is. Ravens got cold feet and backed out. Likely harming Crosby’s value.
Scumbag organization.
Reports indicating Hendrickson chose Baltimore because he felt it was the best culture fit to be on a team that also backs out of deals they agreed to.
