Seeing the going rates of guys traded today it seems a bit of an overpay but I think N.O. had many callers and AP got his guy. The Ravens got Tre White an All-Pro and basically swapped 7ths / 6ths and all the deals including Dionate (basically free!)- prices just seem low. It is interesting to see NFL trades becoming more common.

We made a major move and I'm sitting here not thinking its going to blow up in our face.
Is that weird?
It feels weird.

JD5 is going to be the franchise QB we've been wanting for years. Got a good one.
Lattimore pick up is massive. He just needs to stay healthy but he's one of the top 5 CB's in the league when he is. Can completely shut down his side of the field. Should be a fun ride the rest of the way.

In addition to the player, I love the message the FO sent to the team with this move: you guys have done your part, we've got your back.
Absolutely amazing the complete culture change.

I know most of you hate the black jersey but man I'd really like one but haven't really found where to get one.

Whitt is saying that after the Andrews TD and late TE catch last game he's removed that coverage check from the game plan because it wasn't being executed well. Two miscommunications across two games and he's adjusting.
Straight up don't remember the last time we had a DC who would do that. JDR almost never changed anything. I think Hackett would have responded by making the check more complex and adding conditions

Those prices are insane for a regular season game.
I suspect Whitt is covering a little for Wagner. I think Wagner had the TE on the long catch by Theo Johnson, and he was just way too slow to keep up with him. Wagner shouldn't be covering fast TE's deep anymore at this point in his career. So while Whitt calls it a "miscommunication", that sounds like a cover for "We'll get a faster guy on the TE from now on". Either way, its good that they are self reflective and adjust as needed... as you mention, the old regimes never contemplated anything.

Haha yeah, the read may no longer be "Does Wagner or _________ take the TE in X situation," but rather "Wagner does not take the TE, you do."
Andrews caught his ball in a common LB coverage zone too, now that you mention that. I think. My brain is finished. I don't know.

Love the Chase Daniel breakdowns. I watched his Caleb video this week, and it was brutal. He’s not seeing the field, is holding the ball too long, and seems allergic to check downs. Makes me appreciate Jayden so much.
At the halfway mark, I’d have to rank the rook QBs:
1) Jayden
…
…
…
2) Bo Nix
3) Maye
4) Caleb
Maye > Caleb might be unfair since he’s played fewer games. But he’s at least moving the ball, making stuff happen. He has no o-line or skill players, so he’s just winging it - but he looks like he can play.
OTOH, Caleb is running around (often backwards), spraying the ball all over the field. That, or he holds the ball too long and gets destroyed. I guess he’ll get a new coach next year that can put him in a better position to succeed.
