About to go LIVE to recap week 4! Come hang out! t.co/yh3aTlJ6RK

you gotta be a tough SOB to catch the football in this 49ers offense whew

A reminder that @fourverts.bsky.social & I will be LIVE recapping Week 4 after the late afternoon games wrap up at around 7:30 ET/4:30 PT! See you all in there! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNyW...

Kyren Williams crosses the field on a great run and caps it off with a stiffarm and laugh at Cam Bynum

Caleb Williams stands strong against the 3rd down blitz and delivers a strike to Rome Odunze for the TD

Rams going 13 plays in just over 2 minutes on that TD drive lol

The Chiefs have allowed a rushing success rate of 58.3% when defending the run out of their Base 4-3 personnel. Dead last in the NFL. The Ravens have run for the most yards in the NFL this season with 2 or fewer WRs on the field.

what a drive by the Jags offense

Matthew Stafford has found Xavien Howard

more Outside Zone from the Rams this week

that Jonathan Taylor cut

GARDECK!

OK someone's gotta help out just a little bit

the Bucs are 1-9 on 3rd down today despite averaging just 5.4 yards to go.

Justin Herbert has now been pressured on 46 of his dropbacks over the past 2 weeks.

nice back shoulder connection between Drake Maye and Stefon Diggs on 4th down

Tyler Conklin picked his own teammate and got called for OPI

Vita Vea twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

this was a such a crazy good throw from Justin Herbert. CB sinking and the Safety already cheated to Johnston’s side past the hash and it didn’t matter. the throw traveled 46 yards and was only in the air for 2 seconds.

super humid in Tampa might as well try!

Eagles defense are nuking ball carriers

and the Jaxson Dart rushing over cashes with 6 minutes to go in the 1st half

there's an epidemic of NFL teams getting hit with delay of games after timeouts

great play in coverage by Cooper DeJean

Tetairoa McMillan is automatic on Stop routes

Quinyon Mitchell so, so good

Dexter Lawrence deserved to score there

back-to-back gorgeous 9 yard runs from Bijan Robinson. Looks like he's skiing out there.

22.48 MPH for Peyton Wilson! Fastest top speed by an NFL LB since 2018.

the 23.32 MPH hit by Isaiah Rodgers is the fastest top speed reached by an NFL player since at least 2017 (the furthest NextGenStats' database goes back).

Isaiah Rodgers has been filling up the box score like he’s Andrei Kirilenko this season

Irish crowd wasn’t even fazed by that play

21.17 MPH top speed for DK Metcalf on the TD. But how about Isaiah Rodgers hitting 23.32 (!) MPH trying to run it down, per NextGenStats.

Carson Wentz getting run down for a sack. Aaron Rodgers pointing to someone on the sideline after a score. What year is it?

Derick Hall goes for the RB but then recovers to make the tackle and create a 3 & long.

Football 301’s week 4 preview is out now! @fourverts.bsky.social & I get lost in sauce on Colts-Rams, Ravens-Chiefs, and look at the Jalen Hurts vs. Todd Bowles match-up in Tampa (🎥). Plus, Jaxson Dart’s first start and some Hail Mary’s at the end.

Aqua Garden! Finally got reprinted and had a kickstarter launched. Cozy game where you build your own aquarium that features some amazing sea creature meeples.

THIS GAME

Saints went no huddle quite a bit against the Cardinals in week 1 and the Seahawks seem to be doing the same thing tonight for stretches. Great way to keep a defense with constantly rotating personnel and looks basic.

Cardinals run defense has been good this year! They’re 8th in early down rushing SR, 9th in rushing DVOA. All of their new FA additions (Tomlinson, Campbell, Sweat) have been making an impact.

Hopping on @nflnetwork.bsky.social in about 20 minutes to talk Dart’s first start, Ravens-Chiefs, and to preview Seahawks-Cardinals!

Now up on @yahoosports.bsky.social. I wrote about the warts on the Chiefs, Ravens, and Texans. And just concerned those preseason AFC contenders should be about their starts. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/...

this is all so surreal

great job by Rachaad White to ride the wave of the blocks here

cheers.

this was such a good run by Kyren Williams. vision, strength, balance all on display here. Worthy of both EZ angles.

these knuckleball kickoffs are leading to some comical moments of NFL returners looking like the kids in the outfield during the home run derby.

I know this play ends in a fumble, but check out all of the good stuff happening with the Cowboys blockers on this pin-pull. George Pickens pinning the DE, LG Tyler Smith (#73) somehow getting his head across on the second level, and RT Terence Steele (#78) finding work 47 yards up the field.

beautiful gap run down the pipe by the Ravens here that catches the Lions defense going on a quick cadence. but most importantly, how about the steadicam guy hauling ass.
