Im re-watching the Broncos/Washington game and the number of effective screens Washington has run is impressive

Hope you're right. But I don't recall Mike White ever making the high level of throws that Howell has put on tape.

(re-posted to fix formatting) 1) Washington QB Sam Howell will be our defense's toughest competition so far. I wouldn’t have guessed that going into the season, with Aaron Rodgers on our schedule, and even a mediocre Garoppolo. Regardless, Howell has been throwing some dimes over the course of the first two weeks - I’m talking about some Josh Allen’esque throws in terms of "wow" factor. His arm is certainly not as strong as Allen's and sometimes it feels like the ball is taking too long to get there, but his placement is incredible. I don’t blame Washington fans for being excited. Look at the following video for an example - In the second clip, he puts the ball over top of 3 defenders for the Tochdown. 2) I may have to walk back some of my criticism of Bienemy being an Andy Reid puppet. The Washington offense looks fun and they’re averaging 27.5 points per game. What is most impressive to me is their play variety: A variety of screens, crossers, lots of motion, etc. This play pictured below has a bit of everything and really stressed the Broncos defense. 3) The Commanders d-line is incredible on paper but has failed to live up the hype… until this year. Through 2 games, Young, Sweat, Payne and Allen have combined for 25 QB pressures, and the defense as a whole had 37 pressures against the Broncos in Week 2 alone. Our o-line will have a challenge on their hands this week. 4) Washington often turns to what they call a "Buffalo nickel". They essentially substitute a LB for a third safety who plays near the line. The idea is that a safety will cover better than a linebacker, but is a more skilled tackler than a cornerback. Middle ground, so to speak. This is usually Kam Curl who is 6'2 and 200 pounds. If you think this looks a lot like Cover 0, you're not alone. That was my initial thought until I saw the interview by Massare and Bundt with a Commanders fan/analyst on Twitter. Anyway, it leaves the third level vulnerable with only one safety playing deep. Kincaid could have a big game exploiting the middle when Washington goes into Buffalo nickel. 5) All that being said, this start by the Commanders has the feeling of one of those false-hope drought-era teams to me. You remember the ones that started 3-0 or 4-0 and then fell apart? (looking at you, 2007 Bills squad)

I am so sorry.

Bernard is playing well. I truly hope he can keep it up. Another stat... Bernard has a 10.8% stop rate. Edmunds is 8.2%.

Agreed. We should cut him and bring in Leodis McKelvin.

- Among all NFL cornerbacks, Christian Benford ranks 6th for having the lowest passer rating when targeted. - The Raiders targeted Benford 4 times and he allowed only 1 reception for 18 yards (source) - Dane Jackson and Ed Oliver are both in the top 25 in the NFL among all defensive players (all positions) in run stop % (source). - Spencer Brown is currently our highest graded RUN blocker. He is also our lowest graded PASS blocker (source). - Matt Milano is tied for 1st overall in the NFL in pass coverage from the LB position (source). - Bernard's average depth of tackle is 0.8 ... Milano's is 1.7. Tremaine Edmunds is 3.8 😉 (source) - Josh Allen has been pressured 25 times in two games. This includes times when the line failed, and also times when he created his own problems. (source). .

Do you mean in the playoffs? If so, I agree. But in the regular season, he was borderline awful. 76% of the times he was targeted, the opposing offense completed the pass. That's brutal. His run support was awful very poor. He played 12 games last season and he missed 20% of more of his tackles in a quarter of them.

2023 OFFICIAL PLAYING RULES OF THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE Section 3, Article 1 (e) Unnecessary physical contact with a game official. Under no circumstance is a player allowed to shove, push, or strike an official in an offensive, disrespectful, or unsportsmanlike manner. The player shall be disqualified from the game, and any such action must be reported to the Commissioner, who may impose further discipline

Watch Watson closely.

I can’t believe he wasn’t ejected over the shove of the official. That was blatantly obvious.

I thought I actually heard something snap. His knee is going 90 degrees sideways.

This game is nuts. There must have been 3 separate fumbles on that play.

Not smart! Cocaethylene is cardio toxic. I hope he is 'okay'. I used to cultivate fungi containing psilocybin for research purposes manyyy moons ago (primarily psilocybe cubensis). Nowadays psilocin can be synthesized from tryptophan (at the lab level). For the hardcore among us, tryptophan can also be methylated to ndimethyltryptimine, which most people recognize as DMT. In fact if you look at the chemical composition the difference is only C12H16N2 vs C12H16N2O. Now that it is legal I grow a variety of THC rich marijuana strains. I would post pictures but I am unsure if that is appropriate for the forum. See? I'm more 'hip' than you all thought!

Two weeks in and it's been great for me. Only thing missing is a "last" or "previous" button. They have to figure something out.

Gotta give Belichick credit. The stuff he comes up with is incredible.

Here is the play I mentioned in the bolded portion above. Thing of beauty.

Offense O'Cyrus Torrence: 100% Spencer Brown: 100% Connor McGovern: 95% Dion Dawkins: 95% Josh Allen: 95% Mitch Morse: 92% Stefon Diggs: 87% Gabriel Davis: 74% Dawson Knox: 71% Dalton Kincaid: 60% James Cook: 59% Trent Sherfield: 41% Latavius Murray: 23% Quintin Morris: 19% Deonte Harty: 19% Damien Harris: 18% Khalil Shakir: 15% Reggie Gilliam: 12% Ryan Bates: 8% David Edwards: 6% Ryan Van Demark: 5% Kyle Allen: 5% Defense Christian Benford: 100% Jordan Poyer: 85% Micah Hyde: 85% Terrel Bernard: 85% Tre'Davious White: 85% Matt Milano: 85% Taron Johnson: 80% Gregory Rousseau: 60% Shaq Lawson: 60% Ed Oliver: 60% A.J. Epenesa: 45% DaQuan Jones: 42% Leonard Floyd: 40% Tim Settle: 35% Poona Ford: 32% Jordan Phillips: 25% Tyrel Dodson: 20% Siran Neal: 15% Cameron Lewis: 15% Dorian Williams: 15% Dane Jackson: 15% Taylor Rapp: 15% As you can likely tell by the numbers, McDermott played far less big nickel with Rapp this week.

Payton has brought Russel Wilson back to his play of old. He is on pace for 42 TD’s. But that Denver team has far too many holes to compete.

I think this is selling Tua short. He is unbelievably quick and accurate. That’s a dangerous combination with the speed he has on offense.

Meanwhile, Edmunds has graded poorly so far in Chicago. 51.2 PFF grade and the fans writing tweets like this…

At the time, it was not expensive at all (comparatively) Like $3,000 for the entire season and included a full buffet.
