That's No Moon

6 punts from inside his own 20. 6 out of 41 punts total so 15ish percent. The yards per return are unaffected by the shanked punt. The other team is still averaging 15 yards a return in those situations. Your criticism is fair though so I tried to find out exactly what happened on all 6 of those punts. Punt from 9, 45 yards, 10 yard return. 35 net Score 17-13 Late 3rd quarter Punt from 13, 57 yards, 40 yard return. 17 net. Score 7-7 1st quarter Punt from 10, 71 yards, 0 yards on return, 71 net. Score 10-14 late 2nd quarter Punt from 12, 40 yards, 15 yard return, 25 net. Score 14-6 mid 3rd quarter Punt from 18, 12 yards, out of bounds, 12 net. Score 19-16 mid 3rd quarter Punt from 20, 68 yards, 16 yard return, 52 net. Score 34-17 late 4th quarter The one with the long return seemed to have good hang time but it was right in the middle of the field and the coverage was nowhere to be found. Oddly he had 2 of his worst games in domes. Vegas and Arizona. Worst as in he had multiple touchbacks in Vegas and the horrid shank in Arizona.

I went to the Anchor in Frederick, MD. I found it to be very meh. I needed a fix so it was tolerable but I've had better wings at BWW so long as you are very specific about how they cook them.

Brees and Brady never had blazing arms but they also never checked down like Tua does. Hell, Fitz has an average arm. It what you do with your average arm and it seems like Tua has a don't turn the ball over mindset. It makes sense. The only way they lost at Alabama was if he turned the ball over. He has a coach in Miami that wants to win the game 3-0 so I'm sure he gets hammered with not turning the ball over there too. If he doesn't get over that quickly it's going to be a problem for him and the Dolphins.

You saw Tua at Alabama with a loaded team. The NFL is significantly different. He's not going to have Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs running 10 yards open all the time. He's going to have to put balls into tough spots and he is gunshy. Gunshy like Tyrod used to be gunshy. Maybe he will get over it, but maybe he is Tyrod and won't throw it until he sees it open. It doesn't help that his arm is meh at best. When Josh makes a late decision he gets away with it more than he should because of his arm. Tua is never going to have that luxury. To me he's Chad Pennington. Pennington won plenty of games in the NFL and started for a long time but his ceiling was game manager. Seals have better hands than Taiwan.

I want to see him do some things first. Things like pass block. The immediate question though is does he have more on field value than Taiwan Jones right now who is basically a ST gunner and nothing else but he is ostensibly RB3 on gamedays. I'm not sure. Does he have more value than TJ Yeldon? Again I'm not sure but Yeldon seems to have cemented himself into a doghouse of some sort

His net average was 11 yards higher in December than in November. Gross was up 5.

I think the relief pitcher is a problem TBH. The kid needs to sink or swim on his own merits. If he constantly has someone looking over his shoulder and a coach who is going to give him the hook when things go wrong that's not going to help and eventually it will divide the locker room. If he's ready to start he's ready to finish, if he's not ready to finish then he shouldn't start. I was thoroughly underwhelmed by Tua all season. I'd at least listen if someone was interested because I don't think Chad Pennington is gonna get it done in a division with Allen and a conference with minimally Mahomes and Herbert As soon as he had to start pushing the ball up the field the turnovers started and it wasn't even windy today nor were we putting on a crazy pass rush. He looked like a man that knew he was putting his professional life on film for everyone to see.

They care and they pay the bills. A primetime game in NYC or Washington is worth more to them. It always will be.

I'm still not a fan. Still too many touchbacks and too much inconsistency. He's been good the last month or so after the Arizona shank. Interesting stat on him, his net average when kicking from between his own 1 and 20 is only 36.2 yards and he's averaging over 15 yards per return. His gross is only an average of 49 in those situations so it's not that he's outkicking the coverage, it's that it's coming out low. The times you need him to get it out long and high is when it's not happening. He's also had to punt three times from the +side of the 50 and put two of them into the end zone. Pooch or short directional OOB inside the 20 and it doesn't happen. When in his comfortable range between our own 20 and midfield, where he can kick it without stress, and without distance control his punting has been good, net average 47, gross 52.1 and opponents are only averaging 5.5 ypr so it's coming out nice and high in those situations. Maybe it will develop in time, he's a young guy.

As should we all. Bills and Steelers win and 2/3 of the Titans, Ravens, and Chiefs will be gone before we have a chance to play them. Much better scenario than having to potentially face them all. Thank you Sam Slomin.

This is correct. Win games and they don't have a choice.

Market size boss. Market size.

Gimmie Spero Dedes and Solomon Wilcots. They were ours when we were crap, they can be ours now.

Good, we should be finished stomping a mud hole into Indy around the time I need to leave the house to take my son to his hockey game in NoVa. Perfect.

They pick at 3. Do you trade Tua and try again?

He's handsy, that is a double edged sword. You can do worse as a third or fourth corner and I think it depends on the matchup. Tyreek Hill? No thank you. Chase Claypool or JuJu? Some physical play will be helpful.

I like that we have two guys that want to finish runs. Williams seems to have a little more lead in his britches than Moss.

It also shows they learned something from early in the season when they ran up big leads and tried to sit on the ball and let people back into the game. F that. Keep scoring.

Miami wanted to call timeouts with 8 minutes left. They still wanted to play. Well. Ok then. Let's play.

There are a couple schools of thought about how to call this game too. Thought one would be to be as vanilla as possible and try not to show anything that isn't already on tape. The other thought is to show as much as possible to give the opposition more to prepare for. Just last week the Bills called at least two specific plays to break tendencies and show another look out of a particular formation. The formation I'm think of is McKenzie behind Allen. We threw a swing pass to the left McKenzie out of that and then also snuck Lee Smith out the back door to the right out of that formation. Neither of those things are accidental and IMO they are both designed to set up something we will see in the playoffs. Something exploiting the middle of the field since they stretched the D to both sides in what they've shown and both plays put pressure on the LBs to get outside quickly. They could and should be showing things on tape this week to set up stuff for the playoffs.

They don't get paid for practice, they get paid for games. The league wants to move to 17 games, this seems reasonable.

The director did the first WW movie which was fine so IDK.

Tried to watch Wonder Woman 84 tonight and I made it about 35 minutes in. One of the single worst movies I've ever tried to watch. Plot is ridiculous, dialogue is awful, and it's cheesy. If this got a full theatre release instead of being buried on Hbo max it would be getting slaughtered IMO.

Go Bengals.

Roethlisberger's knee is terrible, Connor isn't healthy either. A week off is exactly what they need right now. I hear what you are saying about momentum and all that but they need the rest more than anything.
