Really cool to see why there aren’t multiple 4k seasons like their used to be. Coming from a guy who went through for chance it’s cool to hear. Stafford could likely break it down just as well

Kinda explains why a QB like Bo Nix is able to be successful in today’s game. A QB who can buy a little extra time, make different kinds of throws while moving around in sandlot football fashion is tailored for that type of dynamic vs a true pocket passer who relies on recognizing coverage and directing things pre-snap.

He’ll be a good coach one day, always thought that.

I feel like we have seen a resurgence in running the ball

It’s one of the weaknesses of the cover 2 shell

MLB has to play a little further away from the LOS to play the zone (unless a true freak of nature)

He too rich to put up with that at this point.

Maybe he will coach high school.

Yeah and I could see him really enjoying the mentor piece of younger levels. Kirk’s a good dude.

The Seahawks run the ball more than any other team in the NFL and have the 5th highest scoring offense in the league. They aren't even good at running the ball.

Don’t think I ever saw a Skins fan say Cousins was a better QB than RG3 after RG3 got injured and never returned to form. Most Skins fans just believed he was never elite like some claimed and you could never win a meaningful game with Kirk cause he’s a mental midget in big moments. Even his success with the Vikings isn’t that meaningful because it seems it’s more a system spot with Keenum and Darnold lighting it there at times. And Kirk had some great teams surrounding him in Minny.

I guess he has that one? Playoff win vs the Saints. Whoopdiedoo.

which is why Burrow is probably the best pure QB in the league with his inability to move around like an Allen, Mahomes, and Lamar.

I don’t think a guy like cousins cares that much about money. I think he loves football and competing and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he coaches at some level.

Nick Saban loved coaching but it’s such a circus now that he got out of it.


High school seems like the only somewhat pure version of things at this point.

Great explanation. May partly explain the resurgence of the more run-focused power spread or whatever they call it when they run a spread offense but run the hell out of the ball. Playing the same game as the defense making them diagnose the formation longer, then getting the ball out faster with inside runs making it harder for LBs and DBs to get into the box.

Cousins absolutely seems like a “coach a small town HS after he retires” kinda guy

will probably try and live off his teacher salary

Can't imbed

This was a cool video I saw about BAL changing up base defensive paradigms with a pure 3 safety D.

Long story short, Burrow and Chase broke NFL Defenses and made them adjust their entire strategy.

With the thousands of hours of stupid shite broadcast around the game of football every week, why don't even get in-depth analysis like this instead?
