Heading out on vacation tomorrow so posting will be light for the next week.

Last year, Tua Tagovailoa had an adjusted sack rate of only 4.5% on first downs, 2.4% on second downs, and then an absurd 17.3% on third downs.

More fun from FTN Almanac 2026 tables: the Rams used the most average blockers on a pass play last year (5.50) and the Jets used the lowest average (5.16).

Here's an interesting question. Which DEFENSES in the NFL in 2025 faced the most runs over expected? This normalizes for down, distance, score of the game, etc. Most runs vs.: MIN, BUF, GB, CLE, CAR Fewest runs vs.: TEN, JAX, TB, BAL, DEN

Putting together some numbers for this year's book, it's interesting to note that the NFL as a whole ran 1.7% more often than the NFLfastR expected run/pass model would expect. Last year's highest run rates over expected: BAL, NYJ, ATL, SEA, CAR Below expected: ARI, KC, LAR, NE, CIN

There will be all kinds of craziness in the play-by-play files now that the Falcons have signed Brian Robinson.

The sun is a mass of incandecent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace.

Spring is when love sparks anew.

With a 10:35am NFL start, Australians finally have their own version of Patriots Day. Is there a marathon set to end around the time the game is over?

Yes, we have your baseball projections too.

Here's a look at a new stat we're going to put in FTN Almanac 2026. At FTN we track blown blocks on runs which means we can also track which defenders force those blown blocks. Maxx Crosby led the NFL with 27 and nobody else had over 21. I know the Raiders faced a lot of runs but still... wow.

Lavonte David is officially retiring. Two stats on his greatness. His 415 Defeats rank third all-time since 1991 behind Ray Lewis and Junior Seau. (Defeats: TO, TFL, and plays to prevent 3rd down conversion) His 330 pass tackle stops (preventing success after reception) rank No. 1 since 1991.

Something new for FTN Almanac 2026: We'll be listing and ranking nickelbacks separately from corners and safeties, including some players who are normally identified as each of those positions.

I'll hold onto my Lavonte David stats until he officially calls it a career later today (if he does) but I'll bang the table for David in the Hall of Fame until the end of my days.

It's no surprise that with the rise of more FB and TE personnel, NFL offenses are getting bigger. @brykno.bsky.social looks at snap-weighted size for 2025 offenses at @ftnfantasy.com. ftnfantasy.com/nfl/snap-wei...

This Madden graphic has bugged me all year.

One other note. Taking this thing out of Saudi Arabia eliminates the sportswashing aspect. You would never know watching this that they were ever involved in it.

Ok, I admit it, I put on the flag football thing while folding laundry. It’s hilarious. The NFL players are getting crushed by the Team USA flag football regulars. It’s a different sport.

The FTN March Madness Forecaster tool really is pretty cool. Love running sims for the tournament.

Bo Nix led QBs with 76 screen passes in 2025 but was below average in DVOA on them. Meanwhile, Jaylen Waddle had the 6th most screen yards when Tua was cooking in 2021-23. I like the Waddle-Broncos fit because it doesn't hinge on Nix's deep accuracy. Source: @aaronschatz.com and @ftnfantasy.com

New at @ftnfantasy.com: @brykno.bsky.social looks at snap-weighted age trends for 2025. Older is still generally better, but another young team won a championship in Seattle. ftnfantasy.com/nfl/snap-wei...

I believe this is spelled "De'Von Etienne" now.

Snap-Weighted Age is coming tomorrow on FTN. To tide you over, here were the 25 oldest players in the NFL in 2025. How many can you name?

Justin Fields is an interesting "hey, what if Patrick Mahomes isn't available for the first month" dart throw.

I think the USA just won on ball four.

I don't know a thing about college basketball. Which is why I really like FTN's March Madness Simulator, helping me sort through the chaos. ftnfantasy.com/march-madnes...

Have an espresso in honor of Italian baseball.

Deleted Carolina post. Forgot about Ekwonu injury during playoffs!

2025 injury apocalypse by position 🏈💥 @aaronschatz.com breaks down AGL carnage: Lions DBs obliterated, Cards WRs crushed, MIA/CAR O-lines toast ⤵️ ftnfantasy.com/nfl/2025-agl...

Good signing.

Happy NFL Rosh Hashanah everyone.

Worried about age here, as he'll be 33. I was surprised he was chosen as a first-team All-Pro last season.

A really popular column at @ftnfantasy.com for those who play fantasy baseball. Who is this year's Christian Yelich? ftnfantasy.com/mlb/fantasy-...

OK, this is going to be a tough one to find, but let's throw it out there. Looking for video of 1995 Week 11 Bengals at Oilers. Any Bengals or Oilers people out there? It's not on YouTube or in the FB old games group. Need to separate data on Roger/Rod Jones tackles among other things.

We pushed an update to the Final Forecaster. This is our new "perfect" final four with scores. Check it out below.

The Raven.

The XX is for savings.

Yes yes, a thousand times yes.

Don’t show this to the Bills wait too late.

The problem with trying to follow the Pats playbook is, of course, the QB position. (That doesn't mean this reader is wrong though!)

This one surprises me because the Cardinals needed a tackle more than a guard and if I was a 33-year-old player I would want to sign with a team that was actually a playoff contender.

OK, so a thought on free agency now. What was with the Jets signing so many old veteran defensive guys? David Onyemata? That's not going to really build anything for the future.

Some parenting responsibilities today so no instant tampering analysis from yours truly.

Called this one on the podcast with @andrewcallahan.bsky.social

Had this one in my ESPN "one free agent for each team" piece.

HELL YEAH LET'S TAMPER

Uh, I suppose we could use the word "standout" here, sure.
