How much of an upgrade is this? I don't watch a lot of the Titans haha

Kevin Byard is sick and Terrell Edmunds is a football terrorist.

 

[Svechhammer]

.....well thats one way to address the Hill TD last night....

jeez, we loadin up

Byard is a two-time All-Pro and former league leader in interceptions.

Edmunds is.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Wait a minute. They traded for Byard right after they wore the Kelly Greens and right before Tennessee wears the Oilers throwbacks. That's just cruel.

Anyone who's not yet sold:



OK, no, this is even better:

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Eagles could of allowed Mostert some more yards. My fantasy team could of used him last night

Also a massive Dawkins fan. That's the guy he always said he patterned his game after.

Another guy that is beloved by teammates on a different level. They're getting quite the collection of those. But they can all play.

Chip was unequivocally right but Howie’s turning into an alright dude.

Why do the Titans want the Eagles to win the Super Bowl?

kind of wish the Bucs would..trade someone...cause they stink right about now

Howie the genius at it again.

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

This is what smart teams do.

Okay who is Howard, is it a play on "Howie".

 

[Cody Webster]

They didn't want to add Henry in the deal too?

 

[RockLobster]

We don't need him.

When you pick apart the stats here, the big difference between 2022 and 2023 in the passing game is YAC on Short Passes. The RPO game isn't working. Neither is the Screen game. Note that's all Screens, not specifically RBs. They don't run those.

What Desai does is take that shell zone but tweak it with some JJ aggressiveness, five man fronts, some blitzes, etc. Not nearly as passive and predictable as last season, which lead to veteran QBs carving them up like a Thanksgiving turkey.

Now that I've gotten the time to research this, they played more Zone last night and Blitzed less often than any other game this year.

They played basically as close to a perfect game from an assignment standpoint as you can get on one side of the ball. This wasn't aggressiveness. It was a bet on empowering the DL to win the game. Everyone delivered.

I might be a bit naive here but with the state of their OLine and the Eagles DLine this is the obvious thing to do. But I guess sometimes people don't wanna do the obvious thing.

It was definitely not a complaint. If anything, it was meant as a positive post with respect to the players.

Now if only Johnson would learn to do this.

OH HELL YES. THIS IS THE GUY. He's better than Baker with a much better contract situation.

While we're at it, these two shit picks were acquired in a trade down with Tampa and the 6th is Tenneesee's pick they got in a swap for Ugo Amadi. Tell me again the margins don't matter.

NFL is different, you have effectively a 60+ man roster, that's a lot of slots to fill.

50 NHL contracts. Not 22.

I'm still salty about the SB because I do believe there were some shenanigans in play with how shitty that field was. It completely neutered our pass rush, which was the only way we'd have been able to contain Mahomes, and to see that the groundskeeper was and is a huge KC fan who was given a SB ring.... Yeah, it doesn't sit well with me.

Gannon still sucks at his job, but I am not sure anyone was going to be able to shut down Mahomes with the way things were a bit stacked in their favor that night.

Also Gannon didn't care

If we are willing things into existence, Maxx Crosby come on down (I know we don't really need him, but he's a monster, being wasted.)
