Great takes as always Adam, keep it going! Of the tape shown: 1st play: that’s an RPO with a bubble and slant. He gives it off or throws the quick slant to DJ. That’s on Caleb. He that ball is supposed to come out quick and Cole’s job is to force the edge to work around him and free up the inside give and/or slow down the rush for the slant. 2nd play: that’s a TE screen and Hunter should be called for a defensive holding on Kmet. Caleb needs to dirt that. 3rd play: definitely miscommunication and good execution by the defense 4th play: Caleb has to know where his hot is (Allen, should he thrown before he turns around and into the blitz) and that ball needs to be out but he’s a rookie so it’ll come in time. That’s on Caleb 5th play: Blocking was poor but Caleb didn’t go through a single read. He stared down his 1st read for 3 seconds. 6th play: 3.5 seconds in the pocket, Caleb has to be on his check down at this point (Swift), who is open with a step and a half on his guy. Caleb needs to trust his player makers to make plays
Great video Adam. Do you think the receivers are getting sufficient separation? Do you think if we had a speedster that could get more separation that would benefit Caleb? I know Keenan has good hands but he seems to have lost a step
@@matthewsbertoli570 I don't think it has anything to do with speed or separation with the Bears. It's play call design and scheming. I can't gauge anything there until we get our new head coach and OC
Great video! My take on first two sacks: Sack 1: Houston: 6:00 minute mark Play call was for a quick screen to DeAndre Carter #11 with DJ Moore in front of him. Play call was executed poorly (DJ Moore, Cole Kmet & Braxton Jones all failed blocking and protecting Caleb's blindside). DJ Moore failed to block and Carter failed his route. Braxton Jones tried to help out Teven, who didn't need it. Braxton Jones should have blocked #51 Will Anderson, a fierce pass rusher. Cole Kmet yelled "lookout" after failing to block Will Anderson. Swift was clueless on play and didn't help at all. A power back could have blocked someone. I place blame on Braxton Jones and Cole Kmet for the sack, but OC Waldron shares responsibility. It was a poor scheme, wrong players on field to execute the call and everyone was clueless about protecting Caleb from Will Anderson. We had three NFL pro's "Braxton, Cole and Swift" that should have been on high alert to protect Caleb in ONLY his second game. Sack 2: Houston around 8:00 minute: It was a TE screen to Cole Kmet. #55 Danielle Hunter brilliantly held Cole preventing him from releasing. Caleb has no one to throw too, so he ducked and run. PS: Screens were run because da Bears could NOT run the ball, nor pass protect. If Bears could run the ball with a power running back, Caleb could breathe. Houston was a real test for our "starting line", and the Bears failed. Houston had 7 sacks and only gave up 71 rushing yards, plus generated lots of pressure on Caleb from Will Anderson, Danielle Hunter, blitzes and others. A REAL NFL GM knows it, sees it and corrects it.
Adam great stuff as always. Honestly you are my new favorite Bears draft/offseason analyst. Just discovered you a month or so ago. While I 100% agree we should be trading down with our 1st pick, it takes two to tango. I’d love to see some mocks where we don’t have a trade partner or maybe have to accept 75 cents on the dollar to trade back.
Like you, I’ve only been on here for a couple of years and subscribed to numerous channels. As the months progressed and the content devolved into “idiotic ramblings”, I found myself inscribing to many of those content creators and really count on you and Swifty for most of my information. Keep up the great work my man and Bear down!!!!!
Very interesting production here. You did a lot of work. Tom Brady made some very interesting comments on these lines about quarterbacks in general and Caleb in particular. He said that a quarterback needs the mentality that he is not taking a sack period. You will of course, but it should rarely be his fault. He cannot allow those negative plays.
Thanks for the video Adam. Shelton, Jenkins, and Pryor earned a spot on the Roster. We just need to bring in some solid draft picks to compete for the starting spots and drop them back to high tier backups!
For sure If we want Superbowl quality we have to keep developing players and replacing with better players. Hopefully Poles can make the right decisions
@Adam great video, my own take...(1) The HC as he hired everyone and did not hire good coaching staff.... (2) The OC as he was not very good and ... and called very very bad formations and plays...3) This is a 50-50 tie, no real standouts other then Wright, and we were starting for multiple games your 6th,7th, 8th, 9th, and10th best o lineman on the team. An lastly tho as bad as the Line itself Caleb held the ball to long at times and did not throw the ball away as a Good Vet would of. Would love to see you do this on all aspects from the RB to WR to D line, LB' and Db's groups as well.
Thank you Adam. I am so sick of everyone blaming the O line. Can we improve it? Oh yes we can, but a lot of this is on rookie rust and confusing play selection timing.
I'm of the opinion that at least 33% to 40% of the sacks are on Caleb due to his poor pre-reads, and slow post snap reads through progressions incl. not seeing wide open receivers. In the games, where Caleb does well, he got rid of the ball quickly. In the games Caleb did poorly, he was playing a lot of hero ball holding onto the ball way too long. He had this problem at USC as well. Though, unlike Fields, who had this same affliction, Caleb seems to have the ability to get rid of the ball more quickly. So, hopefully after he studies more film and better understands what opposing defenses can throw at him, he'll be better at recognizing defenses pre-snap and finding receivers post snap. And, yeah, the offensive line coach sucks. The Bears early in the season, esp with Nate Davis, the Bears were super susceptible to stunts.
That's insanity! 20%, and thats a staggering percentage. If it's 40% like you're suggesting, then he's a certified bust and shouldn't be in the NFL. Caleb just holds the ball too long relative to how long this poor Oline can hold up. I watch a lot of football, and even the mid teams QB oftentimes have clean pockets and stand in the pocket for seconds. Caleb rarely has time to set up.
@@Roger-hs1dl The avg qb sack percentage is about 33%. Calebs is at 45% which is high but not close to worse the in the league. Geno smith has abt an 56% sack percentage which is worst in the league. Caleb has flaws, but doesn't mean hes a bust hes played one season in the nfl. He's had 3 OC in his rookie year alone and is the best bears rookie qb in bears history and set the all time record for scrimmage yards for a bears qb.
But don't you think a better coach would adjust Caleb to an NFL level? He came into Shane Waldron and Matt Eberflus. Yeah, I give him a pass in year one for this mess
@ yeah I don’t he does nothing special Jayden Daniels bo nix are better we botched the pick this coaching thing is over blown it’s really just an excuse honestly I think his ceiling is Brock Purdy and that’s being nice
Caleb for a lot of em. He didn't get the 🏈 out when he hit his backfoot. Fine, nor throw it away after 2-3 hops. Fine!!! 😅 Not throw it away after 10-15 seconds. Crazy 😂. I blame WR timing heavy early. The interior OL was gangbusters to most DLs tho and they didn't scheme a FB in to help it.
I had a previous comment that I had to delete after looking at your video closer. If you're going to say that it's poor communication and that it's bad coaching, I'm not necessarily going to argue but that sack is 100% on the offensive lineman. Are they never told that you communicate on a stunt and that the coaching of this is not hammered into them? I don't know for sure but I don't think you can claim that it wasn't with certainty, either. I don't think that miscommunication helps the offensive line's case for being any good at all, not even a little. In addition, you give Darnell Wright credit for throwing his guy and recognizing the freerunner but he whiffs by a yard on trying to block the free runner, which is absolutely and undeniably terrible. Take a look at it. Even if the communication was proper on the other side of the line Caleb would have gotten killed by that freerunner and it's inexcusable. That is just your first example that seems extremely biased to support a claim you've been making. I'm sorry, I really want the offensive line to be better and for your point to be correct and my first comment was with those rose colored glasses on. However, when you look at what happened it is the opposite of in support of your position that the offensive line is actually decent. The one caveat I'll give is that Coleman Shelton played fairly well this year, all things considered. I'm sorry, that is just what I see and I don't believe it's all that disputable.
The first few weeks the line simply could not pick up basic stunts, twists and blitzes yet Jenkins came out and said they were doing what they'd been taught and was obviously very frustrated. There was clearly a major issue there. Eventually corrections kicked in and they got better at passing off rushers. Unfortunately the injuries then kicked in. They ended up playing 8 different starting lineups and 21 different combinations altogether. That's just insane and it's been that way ever since Poles arrived. The unit can't become cohesive that way. Pryor was expected to be the 3rd choice RG behind Davis and Bates as well as an option at OT. He had to play almost the entire season at RG which meant the only options at OT became Borom who's awful and Amegadjie who was drafted with an injury which took much longer to heal than anticipated. Amegadjie got no offseason work at all and was clearly thrown in when he wasn't ready. Individually the starters grade out pretty well, but collectively, with all the injuries, the line was awful.
They sat these guys in preseason 😅😅😅. Knowing the C/QB wasn't ready. The timing wasn't ready. With the practices cut down, my guys would play full Preseason games. I'll find the backups in camp and practice. 😅. 4th quarter
I understand this video is focused on sacks but I’m curious how the Bears oline stack up against the run in the division? Total evaluation of the line needed.
We're the worst But that's not all on the line either. Better play callers for the run and every other team in the division has better running backs too
That first Kmet pass block was a horribly designed blocking scheme...he should have been in motion left before the snap, there was no way he was going to get over there in time.
Braxton Jones is a solid lineman and might even make a better guard than tackle. Its a shame we never got to see if Bates can help. More talent & better coaching please Poles!
Its pretty simple. With injuries our line had zero continuity. Pair that with an indecisive rookie QB thats still learning and its a combo for disaster.
Definitely coaching, and maybe common sense by th O-line meaning--if you have nobody to block, move in front of th guy coming around th end. Quick slant and plays designed to get rid of th ball quickly would help Caleb.. Next year he'll improve.
After watching the games this year... I thought Caleb Williams or play calling was at fault for 30% of the 70 sacks. I would like to see less penalties out of the O-line as well. Did Fields have the same issues last year? The reasoning to see if Jenkins, Jones and Wright made any changes under Chris Morgan from year to year. I see two rookie QB's playing better than Williams this last year in Nix and Daniels but their coaching was significantly better.
i was wondering do you believe that the bears would have been better with Jayden Daniels? do you believe he is a better QB overall? asking for a friend in a debate. 🤞🏾
I've said multiple times that this QB class is like the 2020 QB class. Jayden Daniels is a fine QB. He has a lot more going for him with Washington than Caleb had with the Bears. Caleb didn't run as NFL of an offense as Jayden did at LSU. Jayden is clearly winning the race today. I would still take Caleb with his intelligence and understanding of the game, we just have to get a better coaching situation and improve his NFL traits. (Footwork, quick drop back, proper scheming)
Dude. Great analysis. Makes me wonder who in the Bears org is watching the film? Flus/Getsy/Waldron? And how much blame is on Poles for not holding someone accountable? (Kmets blocking went down this year, does it have anything to do with him dropping 15lbs?)
Keep in mind that Cole Kmet is my favorite bear; (same hs), when I say you’re being awfully kind when you say his blocking deteriorated. It was painful to watch at times. He actually looked confused to me.
60% Caleb holding the ball too long, 40% bad line play. Caleb has also bailed the line out a lot too with escaping almost immediate pressure. This is totally fixable. Our tackles are not terrible, but the IOL needs some tweaks, Jones is a replaceable player at LT, better suited to be a swing guy.
Adam, can you comment/clarify when you say poor coaching and you attribute that to Waldron? I was surprised not to hear you mention Morgan. What do you feel is the split in the responsibility for the failures between those 2 coaches?
Chris Morgan has been over this line for two years and they continue to look way less organized and capable than other lines. The talent is there but other teams can stunt on us and look like pro bowlers? Yeah, C Mo gotta go
I'm 100% all in on resigning Teven Trey Smith won't be available and Tev is an extremely good Guard. Even going after Wyatt Milum and Armand Membou, we need depth bad
@Beardownsports Not necessarily since Caleb Williams was supposed to be so great at reading defences and make the throw on time it seems he is lost on the field and not seeing where to throw the to. Part coaching mostly instinct overall Wright Jones and Jenkins have given him fairly good time. Center and right guard have been issues but even then good protection late to the throw
@Beardownsports Look at the tapes much other time he looks like a deer in the headlights. For a guy who was supposed to read defenses easily it looks more like where do I throw
I want the trainer fired. Do you see serious development in the DL and OL guys year to year? Do they add crazy strength? Do they stay healthy? Ok, then the guy isn't doing his job. Hopefully part of a coaches plan is to bring his own trainer. Big time coaches like Pete Carroll would do that.
We got a GM who has no ability or idea how to build a team. If the Bears are stupid enough to allow Ryan Poles to run the off season we will be the last place bears.
while every other rookie QB progressed over the course of the year Caleb Regressed, maybe coaching isn't the problem and Caleb's ego and being un-coachable is the problem, if things continue like this next year when do we start blaming Caleb for Caleb's problems?
It’s Poles Blunder for not Addressing the OL . Plain and Simple . With Him being a Former OL he should know how to Evaluate talent and it’s Obvious that he has Failed . And He you all are in another Off Season and the Needs are Many . A HC and Coaching Staff , Free Agents , And the Draft . OH BOY let All the Hype Begin . With this Teams History I wouldn’t count on very much Happening for the Bears just the Same old Shit . And Yes After 60 plus years what Have I gotten in Return , 1 Superbowl and Disappointment after Disappointing season after season . And it Took me this long to say I’m Done with this Shit Show of a Franchise . Good Luck to everyone and I wouldn’t get your Hopes up until this Team is Sold to an owner who wants a winner ?
I believe Caleb needs to worry less about the interceptions. He seems to look for the perfect/safest play too often. Would help immensely by just taking the first available option and committing to it. There’s games he did just that this year, then reverted.
He seemed to be coached that way to start the year. Flus had a huge emphasis on not turning the ball over. I think he broke him and now he needs to be fixed
Justin fields, although he threw plenty of picks played similarly imo , and he has the rushing ability so he could bail easier. I believe that was part of Matt eberflus’s idea create turnovers and don’t cause them. But I am not sure so don’t quote me
Yea, because Hoge, a former halfback who played 5 secs, knows QB play better than Kurt Warner, Jon Gruden, Olin Kruetz, Tim Jenkins, JT O'Sullivan, Chase Daniel & Brett Kollmann.. who've all said that the o-line was historically bad. Personally, I've counted 25 sacks CW caused, meaning 43 is still due to terrible pass pro.
@ he called Johnny manziel and was right everything he said about Caleb was right he’s a bust whether you want to admit that or not but enjoy your garbage time prevent yards
@redpillchristian9040 it's not about what neither I nor you say.. I named HOFers, ex pros & coaches who say CW is special. NO ONE except Skip Bayless said Johnny Football said would be good 😂🤣🤣😂🤣Apparently you're just dumber than Skip & Hoge combined.
@ I’m slow the bust was 28in qbr Jaden Daniels was 5th with a worst team but I’m slow Jaden clinched the playoffs with a win where 2 of his offensive lineman went out injured during the game but he made it happen but I’m slow oooook buddy
Hey Adam Mason i gotta admit at first i didn't agree with some of your takes but i find myself lately to agree with far more of your takes on football then i disagree with keep grinding adam i learned a lot from watching this video thanks for your video
Appreciate that man I started this channel because it seemed like the mainstream pushed one thought too hard and I didn't agree with them. I'm not always right, but I'll always be authentic in my take. Appreciate you tuning in 🐻⬇️
Hey Adam! Lots of reports, some good some bad. Sweat had a down year. Could you do a deep dive and let us know how many double teams and chips he faced compared to other edge defenders in the top 10 of salaries for DE this year?
Great takes as always Adam, keep it going!
Of the tape shown:
1st play: that’s an RPO with a bubble and slant. He gives it off or throws the quick slant to DJ. That’s on Caleb. He that ball is supposed to come out quick and Cole’s job is to force the edge to work around him and free up the inside give and/or slow down the rush for the slant.
2nd play: that’s a TE screen and Hunter should be called for a defensive holding on Kmet. Caleb needs to dirt that.
3rd play: definitely miscommunication and good execution by the defense
4th play: Caleb has to know where his hot is (Allen, should he thrown before he turns around and into the blitz) and that ball needs to be out but he’s a rookie so it’ll come in time. That’s on Caleb
5th play: Blocking was poor but Caleb didn’t go through a single read. He stared down his 1st read for 3 seconds.
6th play: 3.5 seconds in the pocket, Caleb has to be on his check down at this point (Swift), who is open with a step and a half on his guy. Caleb needs to trust his player makers to make plays
You deserve way more subscribers for all the work you do.

My take on first two sacks:
Sack 1: Houston: 6:00 minute mark
Play call was for a quick screen to DeAndre Carter #11 with DJ Moore in front of him.
Play call was executed poorly (DJ Moore, Cole Kmet & Braxton Jones all failed blocking and protecting Caleb's blindside).
DJ Moore failed to block and Carter failed his route.

Great content … do you have insight or thoughts on how the play calling ratings were calculated?

Shelton and Pryor are guys you want for depth. Jenkins is a stud but unfortunately can't stay healthy. He's therefore the most likely to be let go.
Thanks for the video. You make a lot of good points but I definitely need to see better lineman on this team🎉
For sure
If we want Superbowl quality we have to keep developing players and replacing with better players.
Hopefully Poles can make the right decisions
Good Stuff Adam, Thanks for doing the hard work lets hope Ryan Poles puts in the same effort
@Adam great video, my own take...(1) The HC as he hired everyone and did not hire good coaching staff.... (2) The OC as he was not very good and ... and called very very bad formations and plays...3) This is a 50-50 tie, no real standouts other then Wright, and we were starting for multiple games your 6th,7th, 8th, 9th, and10th best o lineman on the team. An lastly tho as bad as the Line itself Caleb held the ball to long at times and did not throw the ball away as a Good Vet would of. Would love to see you do this on all aspects from the RB to WR to D line, LB' and Db's groups as well.
A quick slant once in a while would help the issues. I haven’t seen the Bears run one in YEARS. Instead we get 3/4 blown up screen plays
They ran one to DJ Moore in the last game against Green Bay. Honestly they did! I almost fell off my chair!

Sometimes Caleb creates pressures too.
I am not a Caleb hater, but he's not in timing or rhythm. His footwork stinks.
This is why I blame coaches
I understand this video is focused on sacks but I’m curious how the Bears oline stack up against the run in the division? Total evaluation of the line needed.

Some of the self sacks you were saying caleb needed to throw it away but isn't that intentional grounding if he's in the pocket?
Not if he throws it in the vicinity of a receiver or around their feet
Braxton Jones is a solid lineman and might even make a better guard than tackle. Its a shame we never got to see if Bates can help. More talent & better coaching please Poles!
You blame Thomas Brown who was the Pass game coordinator.
Its pretty simple. With injuries our line had zero continuity. Pair that with an indecisive rookie QB thats still learning and its a combo for disaster.
Definitely coaching, and maybe common sense by th O-line meaning--if you have nobody to block, move in front of th guy coming around th end. Quick slant and plays designed to get rid of th ball quickly would help Caleb.. Next year he'll improve.

Not having a pulling guard n a big full back or halfback

Dude. Great analysis. Makes me wonder who in the Bears org is watching the film? Flus/Getsy/Waldron? And how much blame is on Poles for not holding someone accountable? (Kmets blocking went down this year, does it have anything to do with him dropping 15lbs?)
Keep in mind that Cole Kmet is my favorite bear; (same hs), when I say you’re being awfully kind when you say his blocking deteriorated. It was painful to watch at times. He actually looked confused to me.
It had to be because of the constant changes in OC and play calling. It's been rough for these guys
If it's coaching an Chris Morgan is still the line coach we're fucked
Mason Keep pumping out the Gold
🐻⬇️
10:12 this sack is on Shelton
60% Caleb holding the ball too long, 40% bad line play. Caleb has also bailed the line out a lot too with escaping almost immediate pressure. This is totally fixable. Our tackles are not terrible, but the IOL needs some tweaks, Jones is a replaceable player at LT, better suited to be a swing guy.
Adam, can you comment/clarify when you say poor coaching and you attribute that to Waldron? I was surprised not to hear you mention Morgan. What do you feel is the split in the responsibility for the failures between those 2 coaches?
Chris Morgan has been over this line for two years and they continue to look way less organized and capable than other lines.
The talent is there but other teams can stunt on us and look like pro bowlers?
Yeah, C Mo gotta go
With the picks we have if Jimmy Johnson could control this team he wouldn’t take an offensive lineman until the 5th round
How do you feel about Trey smith and Wyatt millum and let teven walk? Hes injured so often and isn’t what he was in college
Most sources say that KC won't let Smith leave.. they'll pay him or tag him, if necessary.
@ they have a lil over 20 million in cap and we could pay more then that
@ they should tag frickin kadarious toney
@@thebroglefamily3992 anyone other than Trey Smith, We need him 😂🤣.
I'm 100% all in on resigning Teven
Trey Smith won't be available and Tev is an extremely good Guard. Even going after Wyatt Milum and Armand Membou, we need depth bad
How can Cole Kmet have 2 catches for 3 yards last week?
Caleb Williams holding the ball long 45% bad coaching 20% line 35% that petty much sums it up
That nails it 100%
But part of Caleb holding the ball is the coaching
@Beardownsports Not necessarily since Caleb Williams was supposed to be so great at reading defences and make the throw on time it seems he is lost on the field and not seeing where to throw the to. Part coaching mostly instinct overall Wright Jones and Jenkins have given him fairly good time. Center and right guard have been issues but even then good protection late to the throw
@Beardownsports Look at the tapes much other time he looks like a deer in the headlights. For a guy who was supposed to read defenses easily it looks more like where do I throw
I want the trainer fired. Do you see serious development in the DL and OL guys year to year? Do they add crazy strength? Do they stay healthy? Ok, then the guy isn't doing his job. Hopefully part of a coaches plan is to bring his own trainer. Big time coaches like Pete Carroll would do that.
first clip you blame kmet, but it’s on Jones.
Jones's job is to let the edge go for Kmet to pick him up. Kmet missed his assignment
Nate Davis should be arrested for fraud
Dude won the lottery for doing nothing.
@@Beardownsports idk if u saw but hes trying to sell his house for an almost 100% profit as well... dude is a carpetbagging fraudster
Offensive coaches all needed to be fired not promoted.
I think everyone was suprised when Chris Morgan got promoted last year. Kind of a big red flag for where we were headed
We got a GM who has no ability or idea how to build a team. If the Bears are stupid enough to allow Ryan Poles to run the off season we will be the last place bears.
LETS GO BEARS
It's easiest just to say it's the Oline.
while every other rookie QB progressed over the course of the year Caleb Regressed, maybe coaching isn't the problem and Caleb's ego and being un-coachable is the problem, if things continue like this next year when do we start blaming Caleb for Caleb's problems?
BEAR DOWN!
It’s Poles Blunder for not Addressing the OL . Plain and Simple . With Him being a Former OL he should know how to Evaluate talent and it’s Obvious that he has Failed . And He you all are in another Off Season and the Needs are Many . A HC and Coaching Staff , Free Agents , And the Draft . OH BOY let All the Hype Begin . With this Teams History I wouldn’t count on very much Happening for the Bears just the Same old Shit . And Yes After 60 plus years what Have I gotten in Return , 1 Superbowl and Disappointment after Disappointing season after season . And it Took me this long to say I’m Done with this Shit Show of a Franchise . Good Luck to everyone and I wouldn’t get your Hopes up until this Team is Sold to an owner who wants a winner ?
I believe Caleb needs to worry less about the interceptions. He seems to look for the perfect/safest play too often. Would help immensely by just taking the first available option and committing to it. There’s games he did just that this year, then reverted.
He seemed to be coached that way to start the year. Flus had a huge emphasis on not turning the ball over. I think he broke him and now he needs to be fixed
Justin fields, although he threw plenty of picks played similarly imo , and he has the rushing ability so he could bail easier. I believe that was part of Matt eberflus’s idea create turnovers and don’t cause them. But I am not sure so don’t quote me
My official Ryan Poles theme song for 2024: th-cam.com/video/GPyPT7fb0-Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NxX1o62IfgMkGej8
Offensive line COACH.
It’s his fault.
If you can’t make a scheme with NFL oline. I can’t believe it bad COACHING.
Get new OLINE COACH
Ahhhh will Adam blame the qb who holds the ball forever Merril hodge was right
Yea, because Hoge, a former halfback who played 5 secs, knows QB play better than Kurt Warner, Jon Gruden, Olin Kruetz, Tim Jenkins, JT O'Sullivan, Chase Daniel & Brett Kollmann.. who've all said that the o-line was historically bad. Personally, I've counted 25 sacks CW caused, meaning 43 is still due to terrible pass pro.
@ he called Johnny manziel and was right everything he said about Caleb was right he’s a bust whether you want to admit that or not but enjoy your garbage time prevent yards
@redpillchristian9040 it's not about what neither I nor you say.. I named HOFers, ex pros & coaches who say CW is special. NO ONE except Skip Bayless said Johnny Football said would be good 😂🤣🤣😂🤣Apparently you're just dumber than Skip & Hoge combined.
@ I’m slow the bust was 28in qbr Jaden Daniels was 5th with a worst team but I’m slow Jaden clinched the playoffs with a win where 2 of his offensive lineman went out injured during the game but he made it happen but I’m slow oooook buddy
@ average time to throw in the nfl is 2.5 the line held for 3.09 sec do the math short bus
Hey Adam Mason i gotta admit at first i didn't agree with some of your takes but i find myself lately to agree with far more of your takes on football then i disagree with keep grinding adam i learned a lot from watching this video thanks for your video
Appreciate that man
I started this channel because it seemed like the mainstream pushed one thought too hard and I didn't agree with them.
I'm not always right, but I'll always be authentic in my take.
Appreciate you tuning in 🐻⬇️
Hey Adam! Lots of reports, some good some bad. Sweat had a down year. Could you do a deep dive and let us know how many double teams and chips he faced compared to other edge defenders in the top 10 of salaries for DE this year?
