@Commanders bringing back @DhaSickest will restore some lost faith back into this organisation. Plus having @youngchase907 back this season will be like a new signing in itself #HTTC

Ron Rivera said Chase Young “says he’s gonna be here” for the offseason work. “I’m excited to see him,” Rivera said. Also said he feels Young has been very focused. Said he feels Young had an awakening after last year…

G’tee: $1.12mAPY: $3.2M

If we took the 5 listed starters for each team from ourlads and tried to guess how good their pass protection would be based on most recent PFF grade, which teams would we expect to have the best and worst pass protection in 2022?
Hmm, I wonder why Russell Wilson wanted out… pic.twitter.com/dN3R9OEcGf

This kinda contradicts what they did at the end of the season though. Holcomb played Mike, but they didn’t let him finish the year there. They used David Mayo as the Mike in last 2 games and put Holcomb back outside. Rivera mentioned multiple times he was better outside. https://t.co/8SrQoxfPA0

Martin Mayhew said he’s talked to “a couple” GMs about draft positioning while at the league meetings here in Palm Beach. He obviously refused to say if those conversations were about possibly moving up or down in the draft. “We’ll see where it goes.”

This program will be partially funded by a stipend from the league. The coach must have at least three years of college or pro coaching experience and must work closely with the team’s head coach and offensive coordinator. https://t.co/r1p0EqisBO

Hard Knocks this summer will be starring the Detroit Lions.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 28, 2022
So Detroit has the number two overall pick, has Hard Knocks already lined up, and is getting another showcase in a primetime NFL event two years into this presumably ultra-talented #2 overall pick’s career.
Gee, I wonder what this all means. 🙂 https://t.co/qIdPGgqRYI

I recently completed a study on every INT in the NFL over the last 5 years.
A big discovery was learning that the Dig is the most intercepted route in the league.
The revealed 2️⃣ reasons why…

QBs that lock on the Dig early lead defenders to the route space.
Defenders can now drop & break faster giving them INT advantage. pic.twitter.com/NL654Jjp5i
— Dub Maddox (@CoachDubMaddox) March 27, 2022
This strategy causes scan timing issues.
QBs hang on the “Rhythm” route throw decision too long.
The scan to the Dig would mismatch w/ the route break timing.
Result: Late throw/bad decision (INT’s) pic.twitter.com/hMmtM1oNJ9
— Dub Maddox (@CoachDubMaddox) March 27, 2022
Dissociation of eyes from on 2nd to last step of drop increases processing time.
QBs can still process (Rhythm) side space.
The arrive at the Dig Route space w/o taking defenders into the space early.

“…a pass rusher who is really important to us that’s young; signing a slot CB who we feel has tremendous character and we feel is in a great position to succeed. And adding in two of the best players who’ve ever played of us, we view as part of this free agency.”

49ers GM John Lynch doesn’t plan to cut Jimmy Garoppolo if no trade materializes: “He’s too good a player. I think Jimmy will be playing for us or will be playing for someone else. He’s too good of a player not to be”https://t.co/Fajuh8zcP2 pic.twitter.com/hVNPetikP6

Roseman on Hurts: “I don’t know that we’ve ever wavered from the level of commitment that we’ve had in Jalen. When we say he’s our guy and he’s our starter and we’ve gotta do whatever we can to…give him a chance to reach his potential, I don’t think that’s changed one bit.”

Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL network mocked Kyle Hamilton to us. I think he might be there when we pick pic.twitter.com/kgC58ewTYa

I was told he ran in low 4.7’s.
— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) March 28, 2022
Also I do genuinely believes he plays at 4.6 speed so this isn’t even a running in pads vs running in shorts thing to me.
He’s Jayron Kearse and will do the same things Jayron Kearse does, which is fine. But he’s not Derwin. Not even close.
