BTW:

The Pats are now 14th in DVOA: 13th in Offense, 11th in Defense and 31st in Special Teams.

Dallas is now 7th overall: 15th in Offense, 5th in Defense and 16th in Special Teams.

Reports are Ekuale has a torn bicep so he’s prob done for the year.

I had one and i was done for the year

 

[UrbanCowboy]

My bad, for some reason I always pictured him as closer to the 280-290 range. Still smaller than Ekuale, but when you're talking about a sub-rushing interior DL, 280 is big enough. Regardless, he's not even that, you're right, so moot point.

didn't he used to rotate on the line in passing situations ... sometimes from interior?

31st in Special Teams sounds weird. You'd expect to have some catastrophic plays in these first few weeks to have earned that grade. They missed some long FGs but blocked a kick, and the punter has been strong, no?

Edit: Are they counting residue of last year's special teams for the current ranking? Cause I can readily believe last year's special teams were 31st in the league.

Who is "NFL Notify" and why do their personal QB power rankings matter?

 

[Ross12]

I do wonder how much intel Grier specifically has been able to provide. He was in the building from 2021 all the way until the cutdowns to 53 a few weeks ago. As the QB, he must know most of the offense.

 

[DaBruinz]

Ekuale to the IR.
No news yet if the Pats have signed anyone..

 

[DaBruinz]

Patriots also cut William Hooper.

The Browns have looked good on defense, especially their first game.

Hicks was signed to another 53 I forget who saw the tweet and seethed with regret and rage.

Still a free agent.

They should've beaten ****tsdirt too, if it weren't for their ******* QB.

Regarding #6: Eliminate the tush push. Not next year, or next month, or even next week. Now. And Forever, amen.

 

[SlowGettingUp]

Eliminate the tush push

Works for the Eagles pretty much every time:

Now Mac isn't as big and strong as Hurts, and maybe they need to put a bit more beef behind him when they run the play rather than using WRs.
