How the Seahawks utilized "Passive Pressure," B-gap "Stabs," and "Stride" paths to dismantle the Patriots' offense.
matchquarters.com
Defenses in the NFL are increasingly attacking offenses through the open-side B-gap (away from the TE). Against Duo, line movement can force the RB weak, which isn't how the play is designed to work. The Ravens use a boundary Will "stab" to create & force the Vikings' vertical run horizontal. ...

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.
This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

And of those 3 potential available spots, 1 or 2 will go to a RB with either Ali and/or Randall. And the other 1 or 2 will go to OL. Vorhees, Bullock, Lichtenhan part of that convo
Jeff Zrebiec@jeffzrebiecbot.bsky.social · 5d agoThe Ravens aren't wedded to 25-25-3 roster, but that's typically what they do. On 'o', 22 spots are probably set: LJ, Snoop, Henry, Hill, Zay, Bateman, Lane, Walker, Surratt, Wester, Andrews, Smythe, Hibner, Cuevas, Stanley, Simpson, Gwyn, Pocic, Ioane, Rosengarten, Vinson, Jones

INTERCEPTION! ANOTHER RAVENS TAKEAWAY! Tune in now on @wbaltv11.
Interesting that Ravens OC Declan Doyle is calling plays from upstairs again. He had initially said that he'd like to call plays from upstairs in the opener and on the sideline for the second game before making a decision.
Am not in Minnesota for today's game, but here are a few guys who could use a strong performance today to bolster their roster chances. OL Andrew Vorhees, Corey Bullock DL Aeneas Peebles, Rayshaun Benny, C.J. Okoye OLB Adisa Isaac ILB Jay Higgins CB Bilhal Kone S K'Von Wallace
