Next season’s opponents combine for a 131-158, a .453 strength of schedule, which isn’t as bad as you’d think when first looking at the list. https://t.co/AMzKSQ1OnY

Most sacks took this NFL season:
1) #Commanders Sam Howell 65
2) #Panthers Bryce Young 62
3) #Jets Zach Wilson 46
4) #Broncos Russell Wilson 45Pretty insane just how big the gap is between 2 & 3.

I get it, the hit rate for LT’s in the NFL is high in RD1…but VERY GOOD OT’s can be found outside the top 20 picks
DJ Humphries – Pick 24
Donovan Smith – RD2
Cam Robinson – RD2
Dion Dawkins – RD2
Alaric Jackson – RD2
Orlando Brown – RD3
Terron Armstead – RD3

72% of Jayden Daniels passes of at least 20 yards were to WR’s that had at least 3 yards of separation or were in single coverage. Of those passes, over 85% went outside the hashes.
There were very little tight zone throws which is the exact opposite of Drake Maye.

Commanders fans should love this from @ngreenberg on Commanders rebuild: “I’m usually skeptical but I actually like what Washington is doing…It’s a rebuild but it’s a rebuild with the right people in the right spots. That’s what’s been lacking in the past.”

Eagles’ Assistant General Manager Alec Halaby is interviewing for the Commanders’ GM job today and the Carolina Panthers on Friday, per league source. Panthers have been especially eyeing Halaby for quite some time now.

Ben Johnson Alert
The Titans are the 4th team to request permission to interview him, reportedly. Commanders, Chargers, Titans, and Panthers all want to sit down with the No. 1 HC candidate.

Seahawks simply looking for a change of direction and a new voice. Ownership believed they didn’t reach their potential this season. Young, talented roster with strong draft classes to build upon. https://t.co/uXRqxWDnCJ

Pete Carroll saying the below, combined with saying he’s “frickin’ jacked, not tired, not worn down,” talking about the team’s “intention” of having him consult, saying he’s not sure what’s next … add it all up and it’s clear he would’ve preferred to continue as #Seahawks HC. https://t.co/tXoGYBrbVh

Pete Carroll asked how he wants to be remembered. Says just like The Natural: “There goes Roy Hobbs, the best there ever was.” Then quips nobody knows the reference. pic.twitter.com/TytZ7FgiTg

There were 15 NFL coaches earning at least $8M/yr at the start of the 2023 season. 5 of them have now lost their jobs during the past 2 1/2 months (salaries are @sportico estimates).
McDaniels: $10M/yr
Reich: $9.5M
Rivera: $8.5M
Vrabel: $10.5M
Carroll: $14M— Kurt Badenhausen (@kbadenhausen) January 10, 2024

After extensive meetings Monday and Tuesday, the Bears are not making a head coaching change and Matt Eberflus offically is expected to return for the 2024 season, per league sources. pic.twitter.com/eWwag6e0N6

The #Bears are making staff changes, as offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and members of his staff have been fired, per me and @TomPelissero. Chicago now needs two new coordinators for 2024. pic.twitter.com/qFGdrX9vC7

A year ago today, Ryan Poles said he would need to be blown away by a QB prospect to bail on Justin Fields. With another No. 1 pick in hand, the #Bears’ GM acknowledged the team is now in a unique situation https://t.co/IDsYbepAf0

You don’t take a major jump in year 3 by going with a rookie quarterback..

The Bears looked at a HC market that includes Jim Harbaugh, Mike Vrabel, Ben Johnson and maybe Bill Belichick and said “No thanks, we’ve got Matt Eberflus.” Amazing.
Will be hilarious when they run back Eberflus/Fields over potential Harbaugh/Williams or Johnson/Maye tandems.

.@john_keim They bungle this No. 2 pick as badly as they did in 2020 when Tua and Herbert went 5 and 6, respectively? Asking for a friend.

You know they’ve been sold right?

Thom Loverro is whining that Josh Harris is too “hands off”
Fake News Florio is whining that Josh is “meddling” too much in the process
And Jason Reid believes the new regime will bungle the #2 pick like in 2020
