In Weeks 1-4, Jared Verse had a 15.5% pressure rate. (7th in the league, min 100 rushes)

In this TNF game in the first half, he has just a 5.2% pressure rate (1 pressure on 19 pass rush snaps)

Weeks 1-4, CMC has been used on 43% of the 49ers Total Touches (rushes and targets).

So far in Week 5, he has been used on 57% of their touches.

Unsurprising jump in usage given the injuries!

League-wide Under Center rate is 31%. The Rams in weeks 1-4 are DOUBLE that at 60%!!

This week is no different, with them using under center on 14 of their 23 first-half plays.

The 49ers Blitz Rate was 23% coming into this game.

In the first half, they blitzed only twice... and one of them was the wide-open touchdown to Kyren Williams.

I didn't think this was obvious but someone told Coen it was. The previous 4th and 2 they kicked as well.

I'm glad Coen has conviction in analytics but I wonder if he's being mislead with respect to confidence. I would have said this is definitely more YELLOW than GREEN
---> JAX (27) @ CIN (24) <---
JAX has 4th & 5 at the CIN 7, Q4 03:46

Recommendation (STRONG): 👟🏈 Field goal attempt (+3.6 WP)
Actual play: 👉 (Shotgun) T.Lawrence pass incomplete short middle to B.Thomas.

Kinda would have thought the Ravens would be on top of this. Quite interesting.
---> BAL (40) @ BUF (38) <---
BAL has 4th & 2 at the BAL 39, Q4 01:33

Recommendation (VERY STRONG): 👉 Go for it (+8 WP)
Actual play: 🏈🦵 J.Stout punts 41 yards to BUF 20, Center-N.Moore, out of bounds.

Truly gonna be a fun project for MacDonald who really values his players at the spine of his defense. The really interesting part is that Hamilton was almost a polar opposite profile to Emmanwori.

On Field Athleticism:
Emmanwori: 82nd %ile
Hamilton: 41nd %ile

Exciting to have someone like Milroe at the #Seahawks . I kinda think he is a budget AR, and a fun backup to watch and hope turns into something.

If you adjust for size, Zabel's athleticism is not as elite as RAS might say
April 26, 2025 at 12:18 AM
Luther Burden is one of my favorite underrated draft prospects this year. Really wanted him in Cleveland or Seattle.
April 25, 2025 at 11:43 PM
We comp him similarly to Breece Hall
April 25, 2025 at 11:42 PM
MacDonald believing he can mold this athlete into an insanely valuable piece in his defense. Emmanwori has some really rough tape but his athletic tools show up on the tape when he's recovering and chasing down players.

I think we dont need to worry that much about Mykel Williams' 40 time.

My 2025 RB mid-round Sleepers:
Skattebo, Jordan James, Trevor Etienne

My 2024 picks using the same method: *
Tyrone Tracy, Bucky Irving, Audric Estime

* given that I did not publish these lists before the 2024 NFL season, it is reasonable to be doubtful

@robertmays.bsky.social rant about the Cowboys process in today's show was incredible

Here are the top RB performers by Sumer's all-in-one RB Rush metric over last 2 seasons:

1. Ashton Jeanty 23
2. Quinton Cooley 24
3. Cam Skattebo 24
4. Mario Anderson Jr. 24
5. Bucky Irving 23
6. Jordan James 24
7. Dylan Sampson 24
8. Ashton Jeanty 24)

Pretty good RB draft class!
I think Cam Skattebo is going to be my favorite "underrated" RB in this draft class.

I think his production profile in college was through the roof, and I don't think he has any obvious or huge red flag physically.

The death of the Texans offense has really overshadowed an elite season from Nico Collins.

True Alpha receiver, the Houston Front Office did incredible work locking him in at a bargain contract.

Following up All-Pro lists with our All-Rookie team of 2024. This was way easier to pick out clear winners compared to All Pro. Very few of these are controversial, I think.
January 9, 2025 at 10:54 PM
I have spent a majority of this NFL season honing @SumerSports tracking-data based player evaluations. Here is what my All Pro ballot would look like.

This list is likely less affected by box-score stat volume than other All Pro lists.

Bijan, Gibbs, Barkley, Irving, Connor, and Henry all had incredible seasons and deciding between them is painstakingly difficult

Everytime Penix throws a rope, it's beautiful and accurate. Anytime it has any sort of arc, it looks inaccurate
