THREAD: I recently finished tweaking a data science project with a goal of identifying the ideal metric to evaluate an RB's rushing performance, isolating individual play as much as possible.
Here’s the final formula:
RBIS = (MTF/Attempt * 10) YAC/ATT - (YBC/Attempt/2)
This UFL championship storyline is straight out of the WWE. The 2 QBs, Jason Bean and Chandler Rogers, were former teammates earlier this year until Rogers took Bean’s job and Bean was traded mid-season. Oh yeah and they also both played at North Texas.
Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten is turning heads at minicamp, per @_John_Shipley
“Tuten left the defense firmly in his dust on several big runs in team drills, and he continues to look like one of the most explosive elements of the entire offense.”
Bleacher report ranks the #Vikings as the 8th best defense in the NFL heading into the 2026 season. The teams ahead of them:
1) Texans
2) Rams
3) Broncos
4) Seahawks
5) Eagles
6) Patriots
7) Chargers
ESPN sources: Green Bay WR Christian Watson and the Packers reached agreement today on a four-year, $110.5 million contract extension that includes a $31 million signing bonus.
The number one prospect in the NBA draft is pretty clearly Darryn Peterson. All of his concerns are noise. Yes he had a problem with taking too much creatine that gave him weird spasms. That's solved. Noise. Elite build and advantage creation ability. Two way upside. Modern fit.
Love Dybansta and Boozer too, but their concerns are not noise. Dybansta's shot translation and defense are real questions (That can be solved) and Boozer's defensive limitations are real. Peterson has the highest upside and least amount of risk of the group.
Luther Burden is going to make the draft detractors look silly this year. Missouri tape was excellent. Hopefully the lesson they learn is pay attention to movement. It matters.
Never seen a series like this in my life. OKC is allowed to grab, tug, yank, flop, and hack Wemby and the Spurs all game long while the Spurs are not allowed to make seemingly any contact. Awful look for the NBA.
Off ball linebacker should be his highest value position. The size in coverage to affect crossing lanes and matchup with big tight ends/jumbo slots is quite nice to have.
The Vikings don’t want to rush 2nd round pick LB Jake Golday’s acclimation off the bat, @alec_lewis says via @TheAthletic.
“They view him as a defender who can do Van Ginkel-ish things, but mastering the off-ball linebacker role is his first challenge.”
Jalen Williams was getting treatment on his left hamstring after exiting. That’s the hamstring he strained in Game 2 of the first round, causing him to miss six games before coming back for the West finals opener.
