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

"The rule is: don't give a RB an extension unless they are big part of your passing game or they are 6'5/240." [email protected] Sam & @lindsayrhodes.bsky.social react to the Kyren Williams contract extension.

Looking for the best CB? Interceptions and pass breakups, alone, won’t get you there.

Sticky stats: DT and Edge rusher 1. Pressure Rate 2. SumerScore Our tracking data-derived metric has strong year-to-year correlation. And it’s identified a player to keep your eye on. 👀

This was my favorite episode of our "Sticky Stats" series for @sumersports.bsky.social. 🏈Defensive players🏈 Spent a half hour on CBs alone (w/ a special emphasis on the difference btwn evaluating Pat Surtain and Derek Stingley.) Also, look out for Yaya Diaby. 👀 youtu.be/PqlKbNy6rJQ?...

Sack rate - needs context Pressure rate - needs context Yards Before Contact - needs context So how do we know if an O-line is good?

High team sack total= bad offensive line? Not necessarily.

Has Marvin Mims been underutilized by Sean Payton? He pops in a lot of our WR “Sticky Stats”. But there’s a “but”…

Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase have company. The top tier of WRs is bigger than you think.
