The league’s best defenses are matching heavy sets with lighter personnel. The Rams and the Seahawks are doing it better than everyone else. @bruchhaus.bsky.social @lindsayrhodes.bsky.social

🎙️NEW POD🎙️ •WHY teams are choosing to “go for it” rather than kick (23:50) •What happened when the Rams & Seahawks defended each others multi-TE groupings @sethwalder.bsky.social & Shawn Syed are on the “SumerSports Show” w/ me & Sam Bruchhaus @sumersports.bsky.social

SumerScore's Top Players of Week 11 @lindsayrhodes.bsky.social @bruchhaus.bsky.social

Just finished a very delayed binge of Breaking Bad the other night and I need to know why I didn’t know Walter White was such an unlikable character. I think I thought he’d be a guy who did bad things but that I ultimately rooted for. That MF was TERRIBLE & I was unprepared.

🙋🏼‍♀️I was wrong. I did not think the Patriots turnaround would happen this quickly. Drake is that dude.

Difficulty level: high Performance level: high Justin Herbert is our SumerScore Midseason All-Pro 1st Team QB @lindsayrhodes.bsky.social @bruchhaus.bsky.social

🏈Justin Herbert QB1 🏈4 Rams on the 1st team 🏈It’s a GREAT yr for Edges 🏈3 OLmen have 10’s 🏈JSN is 🤯 🎙️Pod link below

In season trades are WAY up in recent years. From 5 in 2016 to 18 in 2025. And Howie Roseman's leading the charge, with 4 this year alone. #mikemayock tells us how... @lindsayrhodes.bsky.social @bruchhaus.bsky.social

Biggest takeaway from the Seahawks so far: When a team renovates it's offense, hold off on assuming it will be bad. I think the biggest analysis mistake ppl made this off-season was talking about Seattle's offensive changes as "losses." The "losses" were choices, self-imposed by the team.

Rams are this year's most consistent NFL team by week-to-week DVOA. Vikings passed Commanders this week to be the least consistent team.

Guy in front of me at Rams game is celebrating good plays with the referee motions associated with it. I’m talking ALL the first down points. False start on the Saints? Rotating forearms. Neutral zone encroachment? Hands on hips. I respect the commitment to the bit.

My gameday fit 🤝 Rob Lowe (I need some Rams gear 🤣)

Seahawks 🤝 12 personnel #SumerSportsShow @lindsayrhodes.bsky.social @bruchhaus.bsky.social

Just here to make sure we remember, in the future, that 4th down attempt that worked and led to 4 more pts than BAL would have had if they kicked a FG. Just, on the off chance that a coach does that and it doesn’t work and ppl wanna publish his address… or something.

2025 finding: Passing efficiency *doubles* with multiple TEs on the field @lindsayrhodes.bsky.social @bruchhaus.bsky.social

#Commanders have ruled out LT Laremy Tunsil (hamstring)

Are you listening to the “SumerSports Show”? 😉 Trade deadline is Nov 4.

Btwn byes and injuries, I have *10* unusable players on my bench in one fantasy league. (Not counting the 2 players I have on IR.) Can anyone beat that?

•QB revivals •OT importance •What I love about the explosion of data Had a blast with my buddy @tydunne.bsky.social

Edge rushers are one of the most traded positions around the deadline. The Dolphins are ranked 32nd in EPA/Play Allowed and have 3 edge rushers... Which one gets traded? @bruchhaus.bsky.social @lindsayrhodes.bsky.social

Could Tony Pollard be on the move? Trade deadline is Nov 4. @lindsayrhodes.bsky.social @bruchhaus.bsky.social

Joe Alt is back tonight, and I think that changes everything for the Chargers. @sumersports.bsky.social

When the QB room *isn’t* on fire… Loved this conversation with Jordan Palmer on the real toll that organizational instability takes on QB development. 🎙️“The SumerSports Show”

Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Daniel Jones… Will Levis? Jordan Palmer's calling his shot on the next "Phoenix" QB @lindsayrhodes.bsky.social @bruchhaus.bsky.social

Phoenix QB> Retread 🐦‍🔥

This episode is about Sam & Daniel & Baker… But it’s also about what it *really* takes to make it as a QB in the NFL.

I think the loss of Decker is potentially huge for DET this week. Last wk, without Decker, the #Lions Time to Pressure came down. Sack rate went up: from 3% to 14%. As a result, their Time to Throw came down. (Had to get ball out faster.)

I am going 3-tight, this week, in a league with 1 reg flex and 1 SF spot. 😬 Injuries and byes are killllllling meeeeeeee

This will, no doubt, be discussed in measured and rational terms tmrw in Philadelphia. And morning sports TV programs.

Honest question: what’s the Skattebo takeaway for future drafts?

"Best one-on-one tape I've watched this season…" Brandon Thorn thinks we aren't talking enough about the season Laremy Tunsil is having in Washington. #Commanders #passprotection @lindsayrhodes.bsky.social @bruchhaus.bsky.social

Sometimes “next man up” just isn’t enough & you gotta get creative

IT’S HERE!!! And it’s a gamechanger. SumerBrain’s ability to answer layered questions that merge different filters on top of one another opens the doors to SO MUCH MORE information than we had access to before. (1/3)

Mahomes 2nd interception of the year is a 99 yd pick 6 that gives Jacksonville it's first lead of the game

Best QB when trailing: Sam Darnold #1 EPA/play: .64 #1 Success Rate: 71.11% #1 Completion %: 81.82% #1 Yds per attempt: 10.43 *45 plays (5th fewest of QBs w/ 25+ plays)

2 QBs have taken 100+ snaps while *leading* this yr: 1. Bo Nix- 102 snaps 2. Trevor Lawrence- 101 snaps (in 4 gms, hasn't played Wk 5 yet)

My son's in a survivor league. He wanted to pick the Cowboys. I had just seen the line movement. Told him the Cowboys were down 4 starting OL and that maybe this wasn't a good week to play them. He rerouted to Buffalo at my behest. 😬

Bills should have gone for 2! We usually show the advantage to go for 2 down 4 points around 8-9 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Prior to tonight, the Bills had recovered their last 15 straight fumbles. Last time they lost a fumble: 9/29/24 vs. BAL.

The Bengals have taken over last place in scoring differential. They've been outscored by 71 pts on the season. Titans are next at -68.

Ravens Defense 😬

Dak Prescott: #1 Passing SumerScore through 4 weeks

At halftime of the early window, 5 QBs are 90th percentile or higher in EPA/play: CJ Stroud Daniel Jones Jaxson Dart Tua Tagovailoa Dak Prescott

Hang it in the Louvre. At the very least, the JD Morgan Center.

The year of Special Teams

Who’s playing the best through 4 games? We ONLY used proprietary SumerScore data to come up with 1st & 2nd Team quarter pole teams & then discussed the context around the top ranking players & teams today on the @sumersports.bsky.social Show. Some names surprised me!

Yards per play differential leaders (through 4 games): (Difference btwn yds gained/play & yds allowed/play. Essentially, how many yards the team is averaging *more per play than it's opponents.) 1. Rams 1.45 2. Seahawks 1.25 3. Chargers- 1.13 4. Packers 1.1 5. Colts 1.02
