As a teenager:

- was a drug addict and alcoholic
- committed crimes and arrested multiple times
- spent time in jail
- parents kicked him out
- his HS lacrosse coach gave him a place to stay
- enrolled at the JUCO level
- became the top JUCO offensive lineman, went to Utah and became a first round pick
- now is a franchise left tackle
So you know the story, lol. Didn’t want to belabor on here. Yes, he’s come a long way. Easy, easy guy to root for.

Its the staggering truth in regards to ADHD. Those diagnosed are often quite talented, yet if steered the wrong way, can wind up in trouble.

THIS was my takeaway.

Here’s the list of their rushes:

Dobbins: 8 carries for 36
Harvey: 3 carries for 18
Franklin: 1 carry for 5

That's 4.9 yards per carry. It was there for them if they were patient with it. Probably would’ve been a good idea with how much they struggled with KC’s blitz packages.
Yes, and they’ve proven they can be a great rushing offense (and stay committed to it). Through week 10, Dobbins was 5th in the league in rushing before he got hurt.

Monday Night was just first-year coordinator disarray.

Dave and Bennie are awesome, two of the best commentators in Denver in my opinion. Dave is a legendary HS coach out here as well…
Zac Stevens is good too from time to time. However, he sometimes talks loudly and sounds lousy.

Dave is very on-point with the analysis. And while Benny was never the most buzzworthy player (he was good), his 2pt conversion in the SB I won’t take for granted.

Sean Payton is 31-31 in September for his entire career.

After September he is 153-78.
True.

Also, I kind of think people went into the KC game thinking they weren’t good. Well, they’re very good.

Jacksonville is very good too. In their last 9 reg season games, they’re 9-0 with a +177 plus minus. No other team is even +100.

You’re not playing teams like Cleveland here.

Quinn played very well against KC. The team's run blocking was actually a strength.

Pass blocking was not (45% pressure rate). But the misconception is that QB pressure is all on the Offensive Line.

Bo had the longest time to throw of all QBs in week 1, and KC knew it would be a pass play on every down.

My concern level for the OLine is next to zero.

Good breakdown by Henry. Couple things that stand out:

At 10:25 - yes it’s Bryant that gets called for the hold, but Harvey completely goes away from the protection plan, and really puts Pat at a disadvantage.

The video shows that the blocks weren’t executed perfectly, but Denver still picked up around 4 yards on all the runs. If all those blocks hit, you could spring a big play. But even if they don’t, it’s a positive play with a very high floor outcome.

In general, the run game was pretty good. The play calling just went away from it.

The Lions—49ers game was a prime example of how bad decisions and crucial mistakes, make blowing a lead quite easy.

This was the score at halftime:

These were Detroit’s next 4 drives.

Turnover on downs (could’ve had 3):

What an incredibly dreadful way to piss away, what was only their second NFC championship game in the history of their franchise (1992; lost).
