I honestly think Brian Johnson hasn’t settled in as an nfl playcaller yet
Shane Steichen had a year with the chargers and half a year with the eagles before 2022
I think he’s gotten better every week
Jalen also just looks like he’s getting used to different looks defensively and despite the 2 picks I actually thought he looked the most like himself tonight
Agreed for the most part. I thought it was interesting late in the game the eagles were showing pass on 3rd and short and sirianni blew a timeout and the eagles came back and ran the tush push for an easy 1st down. So sirianni overruled BJ there.
It’ll take some time but I think everybody will get more comfortable. I mean this team lost what, like 5-6 coaches overall not to mention both the OC and DC?lmao.. It doesn’t surprise me that they are starting a little slowly.
I’m very impressed with the defense so far though. I was a guy that didn’t hate Gannon but didn’t love him either but man, desai already looks a million times better than Gannon no question. The run defense actually looks good so far.lmao it’s been a while since you could say that with a straight face.
The run defense is interesting
I think largely the interior has upgraded. Both Jordan and Jalen Carter are upgrades on hargrave. Especially against the run, and Jalen to me is an upgrade pass rushing
But even Jordan has been shockingly good pass rushing
But desai also actually will press his corners which Gannon refused to ever do. I think desai might actually be a star
We may have downgraded offensively but we’ve upgraded defensively
Hell have his bumps but I really like him. I think Brian Johnson is someone who come week 9 we’ll be happy with
He has moments, but Shane is missed. He had Anthony Richardson really moving, he’s a really great offensive coach
It’s so crazy to think a team loses javon hargrave and gets better on the interior DL but that’s exactly what happened..lmao
I’m just hoping we can somehow get 3 years out of desai but if we go far in the playoffs again and/or get to the Super Bowl I’m wondering if desai is poached pretty quickly. Maybe after year 2.

The Hawks weren't going to gamble on him after what happened with Malik McDowell. The two guys they really wanted we're Will Anderson & Witherspoon. But when Anderson was taken by Houston, it was an easy decision for them. They love Witherspoon.
Detroit also wanted Witherspoon. When the Hawks took him, they traded out & went with Gibbs.
Wilson was a reach at 7 for the Raiders. But I can't fault them for passing on Carter. Especially after Ruggs.
I think the Bears we're targeting offensive lineman the entire time.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38483441/we-draft-right-guy-texans-qb-cj-stroud-makes-historyThe outing made him the first quarterback in NFL history to have at least 900 passing yards, four pass touchdowns and zero interceptions in his first three career starts, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
and apparently his 4 offensive linemen were out yesterday. will anderson also looks like a generational talent, between those two and hiring demeco ryans texans had an offseason for ages.
I've liked him since I saw him on Elite 11 back in 2019.
;list=PLophBuf6iBSVyGfnKqhDAu9CYvb0emect
He can see the field really well and he plays smart.
I'm not going to put a lot into his stats at this point, as he got a ton of yards the first two games with the game out of reach. If he can keep the team in the game while putting up numbers, then the stats mean a lot more.
Regardless, its been a great start. Any rookie QB that can step right in and perform, especially on a team lacking elite talent, should generate excitement and optimism.
I hope he does really well and the Texans can turn things around under Demeco. The Steelers should be a good litmus test as to what he can do against a solid defense, especially the pass rush.

the swifties have invaded the nfl and i'm here for it
One of the podcasts suggested this was a ploy by Swift to tap into the NFL fan base.
Oh it was some guest on Bill Simmons.
She had a thing or there was a rumor that she was dating Austin Reaves.
She can't be that greedy, trying to sell a few more tickets to people who otherwise wouldn't go to her concerts?

taylor's probably not hard up for money. another theory could be she's getting into another relationship to mine it for future song material
or the other side that roger goodell somehow orchestrated this to get new viewers/publicity for the league
or its just two kids having fun, maybe its true love - who's to say

The Ruggs situation was awful but they are completely different one guy was absolutely plastered drunk and drove his car and killed someone. Right now Carter looks like he's probably at worst the 2nd/3rd best player in the draft depending on where you have Bijan. Bears need a lot of help I get it but there's a reason Carter was considered the top prospect of the draft. This is all wayyyyy too early but he is fitting in really well with Philly

Travis is also trying to get publicity for some media thing as well.

You mean you don’t want the Swifties to take over Arrowhead?
