Jets-Raiders Game Analysis
With pick No. 20, Geno now has as many as Sanchez had as a rookie #nyj
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) December 8, 2013
Jets lead after one qtr 10-0. Most points in a first quarter for NYJ in 14 games, or since 14 pts vs SD in Game 15 last year.— Randy Lange (@rlangejets) December 8, 2013
First INT for Ed Reed since Week 12 of the 2012 season with #Ravens

Last Jet to block a punt for a TD? Joe McKnight in 2011. Isaiah Trufant got the score— J.P. Pelzman (@JPPelzman) December 8, 2013
Reed is playing only on third downs now. Give Ryan credit: He has demoted a future Hall of Famer. A couple of weeks too late.

Jets 30th in total offense, 11th in total defense. No longer No. 1 in rushing defense. Panthers took over the top spot #nyj

Significant dropoff: Ed Reed played in 67 pct of snaps (46 of 69), down from 92 pct over his first 3 games with #Jets. — Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) December 9, 2013
Reed fallout: Antonio Allen played in 36 pct of snaps (25 of 69), exceeding combined total from previous 3 games (24). #Jets

— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) December 10, 2013
I just watched Marcel Reece's 63 yard touchdown vs #Jets about 10 times in a row. Here is a quick breakdown of what went (completely) wrong:— Connor Rogers (@Real_CR3) December 12, 2013
1) Ed Reed and David Harris completely over pursue the right side together, in an attempt to seal the edge. Reece went up the middle. #Jets
— Connor Rogers (@Real_CR3) December 12, 2013
Reed and Harris are two of the slowest players (position related) on the #Jets defense. Might force them to over pursue at times.— Connor Rogers (@Real_CR3) December 12, 2013
2) Milliner and Cromartie are locked into their receivers, do not get off in time, and are burned down the field. #Jets
— Connor Rogers (@Real_CR3) December 12, 2013
3) Dawan Landry was blocked down the field and stood no chance of catching Reece. Looked lost and overwhelmed on the play. #Jets— Connor Rogers (@Real_CR3) December 12, 2013
4) Craziest part of the play is that Damon "Snacks" Harrison made an excellent move off his blocker/just couldn't wrap up Reece at the LOS.
— Connor Rogers (@Real_CR3) December 12, 2013
On Geno Smith's INT vs. #Raiders, he stared down first read. Had Holmes open. Burnett got a jump on the out route. pic.twitter.com/fCykpDST4O
— Erik Frenz (@ErikFrenz) December 12, 2013
@NFLosophy So true. I wonder how many times he has to make that mistake before he gets it. Have to be a one-read QB when OL can't pass pro.
— Erik Frenz (@ErikFrenz) December 12, 2013
@NFLosophy This is true. You can be a one-read quarterback and still use your eyes to your advantage.
— Erik Frenz (@ErikFrenz) December 12, 2013
@ErikFrenz There are a lot of things going on there that can help Geno. At WVU, WRs were studs. Now he's dealing w/ the complete opposite.
— NFL Philosophy (@NFLosophy) December 12, 2013
@NFLosophy It shows up in @PFF metrics in crazy ways. He has one of longest time to throw, time in pocket, time to sack averages.
— Erik Frenz (@ErikFrenz) December 12, 2013
Yeah, would have been hit immediately though. RT @Oliverrez: @ErikFrenz Looks like David Nelson is running a hook/hitch route. Also open.
— Erik Frenz (@ErikFrenz) December 12, 2013
Kerley really bailed Smith out on the TD catch. Also, Woodson badly misplayed the ball, or else he might have had it. pic.twitter.com/oB2fTttVoz

Sounds like long shot but I'm told American football could gain Olympic recognition as early as '17. If happened could b played in '24 games— Alex Marvez (@alexmarvez) December 10, 2013

All of the players Wells planned to meet with for a second time were offensive linemen. Wells provided them no explanation for cancelling.— Jeff Darlington (@JeffDarlington) December 10, 2013

Redskins owner Dan Snyder has arrived at NFL meetings in Dallas, declined comment. "I'm here for the league meeting."

A number of GMs are here as well, but Washington's Bruce Allen didn't make the trip.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) December 11, 2013
Projected cap numbers for the following year are typically distributed at this meeting. NFL's projecting the '14 cap at $126.3 million
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) December 11, 2013
The projected '14 cap number of $126.3M is subject to change between now and February, when it'll be set. But that's where it is now.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) December 11, 2013
Among the measures being voted on today -- Funding for stadium improvements in Jacksonville and New England. ...

Also on the docket inside the meeting -- NFL's new Career Development Advisory panel will explain its list of candidates, talk Rooney Rule.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) December 11, 2013
... And the committee will also be part of a discussion on Workplace Conditions, which will likely encompass the Martin/Incognito situation.

Patriots Gronkowski became the 40th NFL player to suffer a season-ending knee injury this season, a 60 percent increase over 2011. YIKES!— Erik from @JetsTwit (@e_man) December 11, 2013
Was asked about the Gronkowski hit, and what league might do. It has come up. Over the next couple tweets, I'll detail where this could go.

The competition committee has looked at adding rules protecting defenseless receivers from low hits, and will work thru ideas at the combine— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) December 11, 2013
BUT proposals are more likely to be more centered on hits like Dustin Keller took -- while in the act of catching -- than the one Gronk took
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) December 11, 2013
I asked Goodell directly about such low hits being a result of rules against high hits. He said NFL data shows no increase in knee injuries.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) December 11, 2013
So if a any rule goes in, the sense I get is it'd be to protect a receiver in the act of catching, but not simply running in the open field.

Trivia: Only one coach has won 50+ games with three different quarterbacks. Can you name the HC and QBs?
— Chase Stuart (@fbgchase) December 11, 2013
Nailed it - 122 with Marino (incl. playoffs), 88 with Bob, 55 with Johnny U RT @smartfootball Don Shula with Unitas, Griese and Marino
— Chase Stuart (@fbgchase) December 11, 2013
I guess that one was too easy. So for you crazy trivia buffs out there, name the two QBs to win 9 games with 5 HCs - must name the HCs — Chase Stuart (@fbgchase) December 11, 2013
@fbgchase Peyton with Mora, Dungy and Caldwell.

Yep! 83 w/ Mike1, 59 w/ Mike2, 22 w/ Mike3, 15 w/Brad, 9 w/ Eric @itnw0628 Favre - Holmgren, Sherman, McCarthy, Mangini, and Childress.

Talked to a GM Tuesday who offered this: "No QB is rising faster than Fresno St.’s Derek Carr." Then asked: "What if Texans have No. 1 pick?— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 11, 2013
GM believed Carr could go 1. "He’ll blow up at the Combine" RT @NJBeerNerd: @RapSheet they'll take Bridgewater. Carr not surpassing Teddy.

When you hear that Teddy Bridgewater is the "consensus" top QB in this class, it means he’s the media consensus. Teams have varying opinions— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) December 11, 2013

Strange to see #Patriots QB Tom Brady not in the top 10 in Pro Bowl voting. But he’s not. He’s No. 4 in QBs, too, 100K behind Russell Wilson— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 12, 2013
Serious question: Would the Rams have been better taking Keenan Allen at 8 than Tavon Austin?
— John Middlekauff (@JohnMiddlekauff) December 13, 2013
NFL draft = stock market. Keenan's value in April was not round 1.More like late 2/early 3. Paid the right price, asset has appreciated fast— John Middlekauff (@JohnMiddlekauff) December 13, 2013
The debate over paying college athletes is the most heated debate in sports business today. Yep, even more than ticket prices.

Curious, does anyone think it's possible to evaluate a RB's vision from the broadcast angle? I keep having to change my mind with EZ angle.
