Wrote about why Chip Kelly’s scheme didn’t fit the NFL, where else should the blame for the failing offense lie, and why this should spell the end for the college to NFL offensive play caller (not including NFL coaches that dabbled in college)

What does Chip Kelly’s short Raiders era tell us about college-to-NFL play callers?
Predictable play calling combined with a bad offensive line and a lack of talent at receiver has been disastrous for the Raiders.

Looked at every one of Daniel Jones’ turnovers (7 in the last 2 games) this season to find if there’s a common thread and whether or not the Colts should be concerned

Teamed up with @romeovillekid.bsky.social

How Daniel Jones, Colts can eliminate recent turnover issues in showdown with Chiefs
Jones has been intercepted four times and fumbled six times, losing three, in his last two starts.

How defenses match personnel is the biggest discussion in football right now so I talked to the leagues best defensive coordinators and coaches about their philosophy on matching or mismatching

NFL defensive coaches shed light on league’s matching-mismatching strategy trend
Versatile players like Kyle Hamilton and Quentin Lake are giving defensive coordinators an advantage in the chess game.

According to a source with the Raiders, the staff tried to start rookie guard Caleb Rogers initially but in practice but he struggled. Charles Grant is still too raw as of right now to play.

Opposing QBs vs. the Bears on third down:
63.0 passer rating (3rd)
5 INTs (2nd)

"D.A.'s a mastermind." "He thinks outside the box." "You can’t really get a bead on front and coverage."

“He’s so good some team without an offensive line is going to draft him.”

Does the most explosive passing game need another piece? With an inconsistent running game, getting JSN the perfect compliment to his game in Rashid Shaheed is ensuring they have answers for a playoff run.

One of the major differences from being a college OC and NFL OC is how much protection has to be the forefront and how robust your protection scheme has to be
I mentioned this to @tednguyen.bsky.social but after watching Grubb/Chip one of the lessons I’m taking away is to be wary of the college > NFL jump when a bad offensive line is involved
Please blast Chip Kelly every opportunity you have. However bad Geno has been Chip has been at least 5x worse.

♦️ Just put Kyle Hamilton wherever your defense is weakest and it becomes a strength like magic
♦️ How the Steelers defense stopped the Colts
♦️ The Seahawks passing game is the most explosive since the Greatest Show on Turf. How do you stop it?

Top 10 teams in early play action rate. Cheat code for offensive production.

(Jaguars would be a much better offense if their WRs could catch)
November 3, 2025 at 10:31 PM
The Steelers have by far the most expensive defensive roster but they are a bottom 10 unit in several metrics. It’s not just players playing poorly.

They are predictable and it’s simply way easy to make them unravel.

Textbook rep of pin-and-pull. Both pullers get underneath the TE and Jonathan Taylor can’t be stopped at full speed.

Hell of a route by Alec Pierce. Sold the vertical and stomped on the brakes.

Loved how Shanahan went from a zone to gap scheme but told a story with their formations and motion rather than just bang their heads against a wall
October 22, 2025 at 10:15 PM
The 49ers coaching staff is doing the best job in the league and completely outclassed the Falcon’s

Did we actually learn anything about Bo Nix this week? Not really

Ben Johnson continues to put his stamp on the Bears
October 21, 2025 at 9:14 PM
Another good run game design by Ben Johnson. Imagine just running plays without pre-snap movement.
October 21, 2025 at 6:03 PM
I know they don’t really need it but Rashid Shaheed on this SEA team would be insane
October 21, 2025 at 4:36 AM
Nick Emmanwori couldn’t have gone to a better coach to develop him. High upside player with a low floor too but he’s developing into a playmaker quickly.
October 21, 2025 at 4:33 AM
Sheeesh JKS with a dot on third down with a free rusher in his face. Barely got the ball past the defender.
