wrote about it this summer: it really doesn't matter if Trevor Lawrence is the 8th or 18th best QB in the league because he's the most memorable QB for a Jaguars team that has always folded in moments like tonight. every Jags fan is gonna tell their grandkids about that TD

thought the Athletic Football Show segment on WAS-LAC was really sharp. LAC are a light box team against a pretty heavy run game. on the back end, the pattern match coverage LAC runs allowed WAS to pull defenders out of their zones and then send receivers back into those holes

would probably be visible on the EZ angle I imagine? might still kinda be hard to see but that's an interesting question. I haven't watched a ton of NFL all-22 yet this season but it's probably more visible this year bc kickers are putting a lower trajectory on it

The NFL denied my credential.
American Airlines put me in purgatory.
God Did Not Want Me to Go to Brazil.

Wide Left sent me anyway.

I got one hell of a story out of it:

Reading this in the ER. I will be telling everyone later that I'm ok I just hydroplaned into the wall.

And then mention the painkillers & telling them the more boring story of getting rear-ended right after my shift ended & I was going home.

football has grown in Brazil for many reasons: Gisele Bündchen, Jair Bolsonaro, the COVID-19 pandemic.

but the efforts of four media members I had lunch with in São Paulo are a key reason too, one that makes me hopeful about the state of media coverage both abroad and stateside:

When Alex told me that the NFL denied him a credential after we had booked the trip, I didn't panic at all because I knew he was going to write a killer story anyway

Despite knowing that, I was floored at how fucking good it ended up being

HELLO EVERYBODY
I have been in a singular niche as the spreadsheet man since 2021. major media, NFL teams, P4 programs, agencies, and rabid fans have all supported me making a bunch of lists.
this year, I am moving the spreadsheets off of Patreon. welcome to FOOTBALL SHEETS:

Jedd Fisch says that LB Jacob Manu is "getting close" to returning from his torn ACL, but Washington will then need to evaluate whether Manu will take a redshirt season. the Arizona transfer has 2 years to play 1 but could play 4 games + postseason and keep his redshirt
