Ekeler, my RB1 was OUT, but I did a bike ride this morning, and never checked my team, so... ooops.

Still managing to win by 22 (Thanks Cowboys' D!). He has R. Shaheed, I have Freiermuth + an individual D player.

Also, that Bronco player did not catch the penultimate pass. Right foot never touched.

Also, The NFC (B)EAST is once again pillaging the rest of the NFL: 6-0 against non NFC East teams

Patriots have awesome new FG block technique.

Thing is, it can be easily beaten.

That guy is moving full speed. Just create a new hand signal for the holder to give which indicates either snap the ball or pretend to because someone is blitzing in this manner.

One of the weirdest positions in the NFL is the long snapper. They are really good at doing the same repetitive thing again and again. And you know what they aren't good at? Being smart. I'm not kidding. Too smart and they can't do it for 15 years.

That being said, the D-Line was unbalanced in that setup. 6 left (including the runner), 4 right, 1 in the back. The O-Line has to pull to their right, but 94 (Miami) still had 2 players to defend: the runner and the line assignment. Does he break off to the runner? Does everyone in the O-Line just hope to push right?

There were 3/4 seconds on the play clock at the snap. Clearly the runner wasn't just waiting for "they have to snap it by 0," so there was a clear tell in the FG kick pattern. I imagine the tell was with the holder, but couldn't see it from any camera angles. The runner's coming in from the holder's back.
I haven't seen an All 22 camera angle, but you can see the runner coming into view after the holder turns his head from kicker to snapper. I assume they must just have a "hike 2 seconds after I look at you" type of setup.

That was a good breakdown. I agree with it all. Are you Tony Romo?

Yes, but only for special teams.

Special... like me.

New MNF song tonight with some Duck Dynasty guy singing a Phil Collins song and Snoop Dogg is there for some reason.

Did snoop watch someone let someone else drown?

At 2 and 0, Washington is at its best 2 game record since 2011. Sigh

Leisher's kick returner is a dip.

This (Browns + Steelers) game is ugly + dumb.

It'll be a miracle if Chubb's season isn't over.

Over on the Steelers side:
-The entire coaching staff is garbage.
-Kenny Pickett is terrible, and I really wonder how much is his hand size. Seriously. He's throwing everything behind or high. Can he not grip the ball or is he simply terrified?
-Najee Harris is the Deion Sanders of RBs. He goes to the ground with even the slightest hint of contact.

Get your waiver claims in for Jerome Ford now. Kid can go.

I like that Pickett goes through his progressions. He's smart, but he looks really skittish. Throwing high and behind receivers usually means he's not setting his feet. Although, with as good as the Browns are on D, that could be understandable.

I wouldn't say that. Ford can light it up, and word is they're reaching out to bring Hunt back. They also have a great D.

What would concern me is Watson. He doesn't look great, and I doubt his leadership qualities. The Steelers had him rattled all night. So much so that he was flagged for an unnecessary roughness and a facemask.

Rams are trading Akers.

He's still on a rookie contract. I wonder who is biting. His fantasy value might increase depending on where he goes.

The Browns have to at least take a look.
