Pretty good but the 2 Lombardi's aren't earned. 2013 was a different era. That's something you do if you're the 2022 Chiefs

Textbook example of doing too much
Every offseason, fans and analysts try to project the next Josh Allen. This year, that quarterback is Caleb Williams. The problem? Josh Allen became the exception that reshaped expectations for every talented but unfinished quarterback who followed. 🧵

Bears QB coach JT Barrett recently described the next step in Caleb Williams' development as: "Less is more." The numbers support it. x.com/danwiederer/status/206…
A few weeks ago, Bears QBs coach J.T. Barrett used the phrase "Do less" as a guide for Caleb Williams to understand the efficiency he is being asked to play with. Ben Johnson elaborated and enlightened today. "We’re asking Caleb to continue to grow within the offense. There are times when the primary receiver is open. We want to deliver him an accurate football within the timing of the play -- and then progress if the protection allows us. "So it’s just taking that up to the next level. It’s also understanding what the premier coverages are for some of our concepts. And if we’re not getting those coverages, how can we accelerate to No. 2 and No. 3 or do I need to make them pay with my legs? So, it’s just another level of understanding."

The conversation around Caleb Williams' leap to stardom has centered on glimpses of his ceiling. The concern isn't talent. It's whether he can consistently take advantage of what's already there. Full article: open.substack.com/pub/patton…

Simmons is closer to Darnell Washington in size than he is to Tristan Wirfs
Here's a comparison of Chiefs LT Josh Simmons from Nov. 19 last year (after he returned to team from family absence) to today (June 9). Simmons said his bigger frame is side effect of working out every day. Says he's around 285-290 pounds now and hopes to get to 300 for Week 1.

Lol what
He’s going to be the Millennial’s version of Steve Young. Hard to appreciate in the moment, but we’re going to look back and recognize one of the best to ever do it.

The defending NFC South champs are the worst team in their division 🥴
ESPN's Football Power Index is out! The Rams are No. 1, the Seahawks are No. 4 and the Patriots are...No. 14! Projections, most likely Super Bowl matchups and more in today's story: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/4884…

Still did more with less when you include the postseason. The Eagles also had a cakewalk of a defensive slate in the postseason aside from the 49ers. x.com/denizselman33/status/2…
Replying to @PattonAnalytics
If only playoff games mattered as much as running it up on the Jets and Dolphins the last two weeks of the regular season.

A bit misleading considering the Minister of Defense entered the league at 24 while the other two started at 22. Through 134 games: Reggie White - 125.5 sacks Myles Garrett - 125.5 sacks Bruce Smith - 115 sacks
Myles Garrett, age 30, compared to all-timers Bruce Smith and Reggie White through their age 30 seasons.

That’s without even factoring in the era they played in or that White and Smith lined up inside far more often than Garrett does.

Personal Note: I will be moving on from Reception Perception. I cannot thank them enough for the opportunity and the learning experience. Just wasn’t a good fit for me as a communicator. I have been developing some things in private that I think will change TE evaluation forever. I’ll turn my TE attention fully to that and back to Remember The Tight Ends. Trying to package my work and style on this into a different, existing ecosystem was not a good idea for me despite the legitimacy that a great brand offered. They’ll continue to do great things but I have a few different things in progress that I must do solo (and honestly from a business perspective, keep and corner)
