Here is a quick cut of Evan Williams vs. the run against the Lions. He was everywhere. Team construct fits + open-field tackling + range + violence. Williams remains a rollercoaster in coverage (particularly on the half-field), but he's crazy impressive fitting the run from depth

This is as saucey as it gets from Jeff Hafley: leverages the threat of Parsons into an overload the other way = two free runners, and Gibbs has to take the most dangerous. Scoring a free-runner with a five-man pressure against six-man protection

Shades of the 2022 championship matchup between Lou Anarumo and Mahomes on a key third down: drop-eight with Odd Mirror -- a flush rush that pushes Mahomes into the waiting arms of a spy. That's the good stuff

Jared Verse with a running start on Tanor Bortolini hahahhahahaa

INT is a great example. Bolton isn't just flying into the line or working a greendog. He's timing up the rush in sequence with the first line of pressure hitting. Cruises through untouched. Always been Spags' go-to strategy against Lamar because he knows he wants to hold it and scan downfield

Lou Anarumo got Matt Stafford with a good one: A creeper paired with a press-and-drop from a mugged up 'backer. Stafford thought he was replacing the blitzer, 'backer right there. Should have been picked. Anarumo has a great way of using your blitz answers against you. He'll be livid

This is a beauty of a back shoulder throw from Maye to Diggs on fourth-and-three. Another week where Maye has played within the system where he can and has been decisive when it's go time

A bunch of designed runs from Brian Daboll to get Jaxson Dart comfortable early, and show the threat to the Chargers. Finish it up with a nice QB Draw Lead with a box RPO attached

Do not hit quarterbacks high. Do not hit quarterbacks low. Do not hit them in the midriff. Do not play two-hand touch. Roughing the passer on Washington

Sunglasses girl is the vibe

This is an unbelievable design from Lincoln Riley, burned by a dumb penalty. Everyone will be pinching an iteration of that

Cam Ward might have the most elastic arm in the league
