Zyon taking on the lineman and ringing the bell.

Very excited to announce that today is the 12th anniversary of my wife’s 28th birthday!

New RBT Video!!! Bucs look to improve their vertical passing game in 2025 as they hope to get more chunk plays this season. Film Study: Bucs Offense Looks To Be More Vertical in 2025 l 2025 Tampa Bay Buccaneers youtu.be/qqmWHEa2Pl8

Licht move is obvious. His good 2 bad roster move ratio is like a ridiculous 8:1 and the recent draft successes are bananas. Bowles is more interesting. Him proactively trying 2 address game management issues and openly discussing an evolution of his DEF have me feeling hopeful he may b ascending.

I wrote about Aaron Rodgers on the Steelers: how his game has evolved, pairing with Arthur Smith, misnomers about the 2024 Jets offense, and the one medium-term upside of bringing a 41-year-old with an eroding skill-set into the fold for a season www.readoptional.com/p/the-one-re...

Excellent podcast from @pablo.show. Pretty damning implications for both the NFL and the NFLPA. A must watch. youtu.be/P42Wq3fmTYg?...

Per a league source, Hunter is not the first non-QB taken after No. 1 to get his full signing bonus up front. Both Nick Bosa and Chase Young got their full signing bonuses up front.

Find fun ways to get to counter!

Nifty.

Josh Williams is at his best as a receiver when he can grab and turn and burn with no wasted energy across the lateral plane.

Nice center of gravity here.

2023 running back preliminary projections! Now out on my Substack! open.substack.com/pub/joshquei...

Friday night Pub Sub!

Josh Williams RAS from @mathbomb.bsky.social. Watching him you can see the explosiveness in how he cuts and can get to top speed quickly.

Josh Williams with a nice creative bounce w/good vision as the counter doesn't quite develop as designed.

Every NFL team if the Chiefs have adequate LT play.

Josh Simmons being a full participant for KC training camp is a BIG deal.

Makes my heart sing hearing @minakimes.bsky.social talk about the Bucs switching to gap last year and how the run game took off. #counterforthewin

The Steelers locked up S DeShon Elliott on a 2-yr extension at $6.25M/yr per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. I have this as a value for PIT as I thought Elliott’s value was closer to $8.5M/yr.

Boone got to play at the rockslide/waterfall. Took me down and now I have battle scars.

Tough stretch specifically for new Bucs OC Josh Grizzard from weeks 2-7. He had to face off against some of the best defenses/defensive minds in football. Here is that schedule with each teams EPA/play rank ly. HOU 4th NYJ 21st PHI 2nd SEA 11th SF 23rd DET 7th NYJ/SF should be much improved

I am putting together some early valuations for the 2023 draft class position-by-position. First one (quarterbacks) is free! If you like this and want to see other positions as I go through them the rest of the summer the substack is just $50/year or $5/month! open.substack.com/pub/joshquei...

Bucs running a 5-1-5 nickel utilizing three edge rushers and a six-man surface to get a 2nd level unblocked blitz pressure and a sack. Love how Bowles got Kancey over a tackle where he had considerable success last year in limited snaps.

Attack early down PA.

I was this many days old when I figured out I've been using "tenant" incorrectly when I was meaning to use "tenet". I will not be taking questions at this time.

🚨Proud Boyfriend Post🚨: @laurensfairygarden.bsky.social is getting back into art and has made all of these super cool paintings done based on plants we have in our garden ahead of SPS!

@brettkollmann.bsky.social Burton has nothing to do with Shemar. Burton had no future guarantees beyond his signing bonus. The Shemar situation has to do with future gtd salary.

The Patriots continue to expand their analytics department.

Running current Valuations for the 2023 WR draft class. If you have a receiver you are interested in a valuation on. Gimme a reply.

Rams OT Alaric Jackson, a key member of the O-line who just signed an extension, is dealing with blood clots once again, per The Insiders. Similar to what he had in 2022. While the belief is he’ll play in 2025, there are still questions. That explains the DJ Humphries signing.

In his latest, @benglassmire.bsky.social goes over a brief history of converting quarterbacks to other positions and explores what that might mean for Raiders rookie Tommy Mellott www.wideleft.football/p/the-histor...

Rotating to C2 behind a five-man pressure off a backside corner blitz. Near pick.

Bucs running C6 vs the Lions. Dean is able to play to the ball more aggressively because he knows he has Tykee carrying vertically and Izien deep on the QQ side.

Bucs cornerback Jamel Dean had a pick-six off of quarterback Baker Mayfield today. We’ve seen guys getting their hands on a lot more balls this year in practice, which has been a goal for Todd Bowles after just seven INTs last year.

High praise from Mike Evans for this year’s receiver room. But I think he’s not properly valuing that 2020/2021 crew.

If I’m given a chance to take any quarterback for the next three years (contracts aside) It’s Lamar Jackson.

Some big-named edge rushers are still looking for deals. I took a look at some fair-market extensions for Trey Hendrickson, T.J. Watt and Micah Parsons. Only $50 for the entire year or $5/month gets you full access to this and a whole lot more! open.substack.com/pub/joshquei...

Just got done watching JJ Roberts vs Ohio State. Tough game with lots of poor angles and missed tackles. But 2 things that showed up in a positive light. 1. Speed/Range - can't teach those physical traits - 4.41 speed! 2. His eyes were always quick to the right spot. The IQ looks like it's there.

A little light on both ends if you ask me.

Working off of just his strong 2024 Dobbins should be looking for incentives that get him to $7-7.5M. I'd expect the base value to be more around $3.25-3.5M.

In the early 2000s there were large roster bonuses in the last year of the deals. Would like to see more of this going forward

Bucs All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs did not participate in today’s first minicamp practice. He had a large brace on his right knee. Coach Todd Bowles said it’s an offseason injury and that it’s “precautionary.” He added, “He’ll be fine in training camp.”
