Garrett suffered a hip injury in yesterday's game. He played through it, and said it hindered him. His 1.5 sacks were before the injury. I'm sure he'll play this week, but won't be 100%.

Remember the 2010 Wild Card game when the defending champ 11-5 Saints had to go into Seattle to play 7-9 division winning Seahawks? That was the game with the insane Lynch run to ice it. It was an iconic game, but at the same time it's a farce that a 7-9 team got to host a playoff game.

Richardson has an injury to his orbital bone, his body is fine. No idea how severe it is, or why he hasn't been cleared. It was a pre-game stretching band that snapped & got him in the face. NBA players play through orbital fractures with a face shield, I'd have to think Richardson could potentially do the same with the added protection of a helmet & shield. Especially seeing as these remaining games this year could be his last shot at starting in the NFL.

The first time he got checked out, he called to the trainers himself right after the play. You can see him pointing to his head & yell something toward the sideline. The 2nd time was worse, he immediately grabbed the back of his head with both hands & looked to be really feeling it. These weren't questionable situations where checking him for concussion seems stupid, he was rocked. I can't believe he got back in after the first one, let alone the 2nd.

What about Poyer at Nickel? He still has very good tackling ability & Hanock is better as a coverage Safety.

If we play the soft zone with CBs 12 yards off & backpedaling like the last 2 times we played the Bengals, they'll score 40+. Need to play aggressive coverage & probably still need 30 points to outscore them.

Hancock only getting 4 snaps is concerning. Hopefully that was due to suspected run-heavy game plan by the Steelers. Poyer seemed to play ok, but I think we'll need Hancock's speed for the Bengals.

Concepcion does cool dances after he scores, Beane may see that as anti-process.

I can't wait for a defender to catch a guy mid-air who goes up for a ball 10 yards from the sideline & walk him out of bounds while he struggles to get his feet on the ground. It's technically not against the rules.

There is also a trend in youth/HS kickers doing specialized training just to be kickers. Kickers used to be kids who played other positions too. Now they're training at places like Kohl's Kicking Camp or other similar places from pretty young ages. They do regional/national competitions and rankings like the big QB camps do. Learning the proper kicking mechanics early is huge, not many (if any) youth or HS programs can properly train a kicker. I personally know 2 high school kids who started specializing in Jr High & attended kicking training for years. Both are trending toward playing D1.

It's kind of add that the Giants would fire him for blowing a lead & losing a game in which he lost his QB and was already without his top WR & RB. The Giants were on the upswing & looked like a legit spoiler team before the Skattebo injury. This is a pretty good destination for the next coach if he can fix the OL.

Josh should work with a Sports Psychologist, and get his mojo unlocked. It's still there, but lying dormant for some reason.

They put Solomon into Hoecht's role after the injury. On one play when I specifically watched him, he lined up inside & brought great delayed pressure resulting in an incompletion. I agree we definitely need to keep using that role, whether it's Solomon or Dorian.

Maybe not a great idea to tell this to the world & give the Chiefs to correct the tell before we meet again in the playoffs.

I'm pretty sure Arizona would look to move on from Kyler Murray before they'd part with Harrison.
