Using this as an excuse to share the clip when I touched on protections in our SB recap.
NFL offenses are lagging behind defenses right now because defenses are much more intelligent in understanding protection rules and how to break them.
Some teams have found new wrinkles, but more are needed.

I can't wait to find out which owner or GM will be responsible for the NFL's version of the Stepien rule
[Schefter] There will be a push this off-season to extend the NFL trade limits from three years of draft picks to five. twitter.com/AdamSchefter...

it is, quite literally, the same exact offense. But with 3 tiers difference in OL coaching.
His strength this year has been feeling pressure, scrambling and improvising during play. His pre-snap reads have been a mess the whole season and McDaniels' complex offense from the Brady days was very simplified for him.

long time doubter over here. That Alabama OL was putrid and the Saints OL got immediately better after he left. I'll give him some pass for when he was a HC but those Jags OLs weren't the strength of the team or anything, either.
his gameplans come across as lazy imo

Bills fan chiming in to say that the league has been gaslit into thinking Marrone is a good coach.

good god that's @fourverts.bsky.social's music!
(McDaniels has always been overrated and carried by great defenses and Tom Brady, that's why he failed with Denver, Vegas, and Offensive Coordinator with the Rams)

I think the Patriots offensive coaches, particularly McDaniels and Marrone, should be embarrassed by that gameplan.
Do you put that more on the coaches for having them ill prepared or the players for not executing the necessary adjustments?

this was Drake Maye's best throw of the night and you can see what the passing window looks like to even complete this. 4 Seahawks defenders all hyperaware of what the Patriots are running and all around the receiver.

social media has turned people from wanting to be the guy dunking and scoring buckets to wanting to be Spike Lee yelling at everyone from the sideline.

first indicator that it was going to be a long night for the Pats O was when the protection was DOA on the first couple of 3rd downs just by the design of the Seahawks blitzes.

this is lame behavior btw
@natetice.bsky.social @qbklass.bsky.social no Drake Maye apologies. He’s played terribly. The o-line did no favors but the ball coming off his hand, missing checkdowns etc. this has been all playoffs

I think the most disappointing thing has been the flow of the play calls. Very predictable run-pass splits. 2nd downs especially.
Is it just me or is MCDANIELS calling a bad game? No screens to backs, no play action on 1st down, not moving the pocket, no trick plays, no qb runs

thought that was a go for it type situation on 4th & 1 for the Patriots there, even with it being a long 1.
thought they were in the gun and ran a downfield passing play on 3rd & 1 BECAUSE they were going for it.

it's early, but the Seahawks defense is blitzing at a season-high rate on 3rd & 3+ (i.e. non-short yardage) snaps so far, per NextGenStats.

very good! I’m sad I didn’t get to give him a shoutout on the preview show.
How good has Craig Woodson been?

Seahawks already with the ghost action (fake end around) several times this game. End around or screen off the same action coming soon.

Seahawks defense throwing heat on the first two 3rd downs of the game. Mike Macdonald already subverting his own tendency.

could see a double move or play action shot for the Seahawks offense next drive with how aggressive the Patriots DBs are playing.

if there are run concepts that the Seahawks defense are “weaker” against, it’s Duo runs and Draws (still about league average lol). Patriots already peppering some Duo early.

Talked to Jayden Daniels this week, including what type of player he might want to add to the Commanders offense this offseason.
Let’s just say he’s keeping an eye on a certain former Arizona State teammate that lives on the west coast.
