  1. Lefau looking good early.
  2. Why the fuck are we dropping Colin Simmons into coverage on 3rd down?
  3. They got more than they should have on that screen.
  4. Arch is definitely nervous, but you aren’t gonna cure that by forcing him to throw cold into 3rd & longs. You need to unwind him on early downs when it’s not an obvious fucking pass situation.
  5. We’re running a Jeff Fisher offense today for some reason.
  6. I don’t think we’re gonna win this with a run, run, pass three-down mentality…
  7. He dropped it. Good fucking stop. No harm, no foul — offense reset.
  8. Simmons should have stuck with #11 to be the Parsons-regen. Although, ironically, Parsons is now also #1.
  9. Sure looked like an RPO and Arch should have pulled it on second look.
  10. You go for it on 4th & 2 and that’s the call? JFC, Sark.
  11. Not a huge fan of a 2nd & 13 run…
  12. Kinda weird to see Baxter returning kicks given his physical profile.
  13. Have no earthly idea why Sark hitched his wagon to him after the Georgia debacle. We had a very winnable schedule up until aggy & the playoffs and it would have been a great time to ramp Arch up. Our ceiling was always limited with this guy’s weaknesses.
  14. Yup, sounds like it’s just sorting the details of the add-ons. Hopefully sooner rather than later and I hope Newcastle can get Sesko through the door to expedite Isak. That announcement in the Adidas kit will hit like crack. A CB (or two, preferably) and malleable winger profile (Fofana, perhaps) + offloading Nunez, Chiesa, and Elliott would likely complete the window.
  15. Yeah, the transition defense was comical but it was a rag-tag squad out there at key positions. Some really good possession sequences against a low block even though it resulted in us getting torn apart on the counters. Good thing Gravenberch won’t be playing RCB, Stephenson won’t be playing RB, and Tsimikas won’t be playing LCB in an actual match.
  16. No Díaz or Nunez in the squad at all after traveling and training…those must be far along. Gomez sent home to Liverpool with Achilles injury. We probably need to buy 2 CBs because you cannot count on his health whatsoever.
  17. Ornstein confirms…all the smoke points to us putting in a bid if Newcastle is willing to play ball. Would be extreme succession planning for Salah and we’d likely really need to expedite exits for Díaz, Nunez, Elliott, etc. If they actually tried for this, then the winger position becomes a little odd with Gakpo as the only senior-level left winger in the squad.
  18. Isak has told Newcastle he wants to leave. Surely we couldn’t…could we?
  19. No doubt there’s a complex pathway to first-team football in France, although to think that a player with 44 senior-level club goals in his career can be our (third-highest?) record signing! The market is just crazy; I’m just glad FSG is opening up their wallet to give Slot what he wants.
  20. It’s a lot of money for a guy who doesn’t even have a single senior cap for France yet, but… He looks to have an incredible ceiling; his technicality/ball skills are insane for a guy of his size and he looks to have good link-up play and vision which will do wonders for this team under Slot. At this point, I’m not doubting Edwards’ supercomputer (and Hughes, by extension).
  21. Part of me doesn’t even want to buy another winger just to keep a spot open for Rio…but he’s still probably 1-2 years away realistically. Nyoni, similarly, is a stud…he seems like someone who can be a backup #6 and get Grav some rest at the end of games. He’s so smooth on the ball.
  22. And the extended for those who want more:
  23. Highlights from the match today…Wirtz and Frimpong will do just fine, thanks!
  24. Díaz not in the squad today. I think he’s on the move shortly. Could imagine Liverpool still buying two more forward / winger-profiles if Nunez and Chiesa are also off.
