NFL Midseason Review: MVP, DPOY, OROY, DROY Through 10 Weeks NFL MVP Will Come Out OF NFC? At this point, the NFL MVP comes down to Tom Brady and Dak Prescott. Brady is 1000 years old and going to throw for over 5k at this pace, while Dak is honestly similar to Brady in terms of playstyle, except he is faster than Brady's 6.5 forty. Dak has the comeback player of the year appeal on his side, so maybe that will outweigh Brady's AARP status. NFL Defensive MVP A darkhorse to consider and someone I believe can win the award if things bounce a particular way is Las Vegas Raiders Edge Maxx Crosby. The real front runners according to Vegas odds are Cleveland Browns Edge Myles Garrett, LA Rams DL Aaron Donald, Pittsburgh Steelers Edge T.J. Watt, and another sort of sleeper in Tennessee Titans DB Kevin Byard. Why Las Vegas Raiders Edge Maxx Crosby Maxx Crosby has been a force to be reckoned with this season for the Raiders. He has amassed 7 sacks and an NFL leading 42 total pressures. Even with the Browns Myles Garrett collecting 15 sacks through only half the season, the Browns are likely going to miss the playoffs, which leaves us with Maxx Crosby on a team that has a shot at making the playoffs and largely due to his play on the defensive side of the football. We have to wait and see how serious the T.J. Watt injury is, in addition, Rams DT Aaron Donald, safety Kevin Byard, and Cowboys DB Trevon Diggs are also high-level candidates to win the award. Offensive Rookie of The Year New England Patriots Rookie Mac Jones, followed by Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris, and LA Chargers OT Rashaawn Slater Why Mac Jones For starters, we rated Mac Jones as a Potential High Upside Player , what that means for a guy like Mac Jones as compared to a Trey Lance who I had rated similarly is that Jones could enter the NFL at his ceiling with some slight upside down the road, while Trey Lance shows higher-level developmental traits and a higher ceiling overall. During the NFL Draft scouting process, Lance lacked the short and intermediate accuracy and the touch that a Mac Jones already had entering the league, making Mac Jones the more NFL-ready guy. Jones has already surpassed all of my expectations as a QB, he is beyond his projected ceiling by my standards and still has some room to grow. He was always a guy who could be a Matt Ryan style player, and if that's what we get from him, you could not ask for more. Mac Jones was graded out as the best QB in week 10, according to PFF. No rookie since 2006 has graded out higher than Mac Jones through the first ten weeks; he is also the 5th highest graded QB this season. Hats off to Josh McDaniel for his ability to put Jones in the best possible position to be successful. Defensive Rookie Of The Year Dallas Cowboys LB Micah Parsons, Baltimore Ravens Edge Odafe Oweh Why LB Micah Parsons Parsons, who we graded during the NFL draft as the top LB prospect and an Instant Impact Player at the NFL level, has lived up to the billing so far. He has a top 15 PFF defensive grade through ten weeks; he has 7 total sacks and leads the NFL in QB hurries.

The Most Impactful 2022 NFL Rookies According To The Draft Day 365 Podcast Team Each year we discuss the most impactful NFL rookies based on film watched and impactful data that translates to the field. This year, we voted on the top player at every offensive and defensive position. The Most Impactful Offensive Players By Position QB Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers Analysis: came out of left field in 2022, replacing an injured Jimmy G, and the 49er's offense did not skip a beat. Among QB's with at least 100 dropbacks in 2022, Purdy ranks 7th in the NFL in completion percentage while also leading the NFL in passer rate. In 7 games, his TD/INT ratio is 13/4. RB Kenneth Walker III, Seattle Seahawks Analysis: I graded KW3 as the top back in the 2022 NFL Draft class, and he did not disappoint when he took over the Seahawks backfield. Walker led all rookie RB's in 2022 with 1148 rush yards and 10 rush TD's. He ranked 2nd to Tyler Allgeier in rush yards after contact. Walker also led all rookie RB's in explosive runs (10+ Yds). He finished with the 3rd highest PFF grade among rookie RB's in 2022 (Tyler Allgeier, Dameon Pierce). WR Garett Wilson, New York Jets Analysis: Our top graded rookie WR's during the 2022 NFL Draft evaluation process was Jameson Williams, followed by Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson. Garrett Wilson led all rookies in targets of 20+ yards, followed by Drake London, Chris Olave, and George Pickens. George Pickens would lead all rookie WR's in total yds, catches, and TD's on catches of 20+ air yards in 2022. Garrett Wilson led all rookie WR's in yards after the catch. He also led all rookie WR's in receiving yds with 1103, while Jahan Dotson and Christian Watson would rack up the most TD's with seven a piece. Wilson finished 2022 with the highest PFF receiving grade among rookies. TE Greg Dulcich, Denver Broncos Analysis: Greg Dulcich was our top-graded TE prospect before the 2022 NFL Draft. Dulcich finished the 2022 season compiling 473 receiving yards to lead all rookie TE's. He would score 2 TD's. Dulcich finished the year with the highest PFF receiving grade among rookie TE's with at least 50 targets. OT Charles Cross, Seattle Seahawks Analysis: The favorite among the podcast team is OT Charles Cross. Cross ranked 6th overall on our 2022 Big Board behind Ikem Ekwonu and Evan Neal. Cross played 1150 snaps as a rookie LT in 2022. He graded 8th in overall PFF grade and 7th in pass pro (min 500 snaps). He allowed seven sacks, the 2nd most pressure allowed among rookies, but his growth throughout the season, combined with his elite athletic profile at the position, is why our team believes he has a chance to be the best OT long-term from the 2022 NFL Draft class. OT Jamaree Salyer led all OL in pass blocking grade. Tyler Linderbaum was our top-graded IOL in the 2022 draft class. He was an Instant Impact rookie who immediately impacted an offense built for his skill set. Linderbaum led all rookie OL in PFF run block grade (min 500 snaps). Linderbaum gave up the 4th least total pressure allowed in 2022 among all rookie OL (min 500 snaps). Tyler Smith also received a vote from the podcast team. Smith finished the season with the 4th best PFF run block grade and the 8th-best pass block grade among rookies (min 500 snaps). The Most Impactful Defensive Players By Position Edge Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit Lions (Consensus #1) Analysis: We rated Aidan Hutchinson as our top prospect in the 2022 NFL Draft. Aidan rewarded our evaluation efforts by recording 11 sacks and 53 pressures to lead all rookie edge rushers in 2022. LB Malcolm Rodriguez, Detroit Lions (Consensus #1) Analysis: The Podcast's favorite LB is Malcolm Rodriguez, a combine darling flashing his athleticism (4.5 forty, 39In Vert). He proved that his explosiveness at the 2022 NFL Combine translates to the field where he was elite as a rookie running sideline to sideline. Among rookies with at least 200 snaps, PFF graded Rodrigo as the 6th best rookie LB in run defense. He was the 5th best in pass coverage (min 200 snaps). Rodriquez might not have been the most impressive overall, but he flashed signs of brilliance on the field in 2022 and played a massive role in Detroit's close flirtation with the playoffs. CB Sauce Gardner (Consensus #1) Analysis: The 2022 NFL Draft provided elite CB's that will be playing for years to come. The most impressive of the class was Sauce Gardner. The long-armed DB who didn't allow a TD in coverage while in college finally gave up a score in the NFL, but only one as a rookie. We graded the lengthy CB as the 2nd best CB in the class behind Derek Stingley JR. Both were awarded a top 10 overall status in the class and classified as instant impact players. His 90.2 PFF grade not only led all rookie CB's, it led all NFL CB's in 2022. Sauce tied for the league lead in PBU's while picking off two passes. S Kyle Hamilton, Baltimore Ravens Analysis: Our top-graded safety in the 2022 NFL Draft class proved he is just that in year one. Hamilton plays closer to the line of scrimmage, and his role is multi-faceted due to his freakish size and speed. In 2022, Hamilton posted PFF's highest man coverage grade. According to PFF, he finished the season with the league's 7th-best run defense grade and the best run defense grade among rookies.

Joe Brady's Instant Impact at LSU, and Why Carolina Fans Should Be Excited 2018 LSU Pass Offense The 2018 LSU pass offense amassed a respectable 2970 yds (63rd), completing 59.7% (85th), with an overall team passer rating of 134.26. 2018 Explosive Passing Plays The Tigers produced explosive plays in their pass game of 15 yds or more on 68 of their 387 pass attempts in 2018 (60th). They hit explosive plays of 25 yds or longer 26 times (72nd). 2018 3rd Down Passing LSU converted 34 first downs on 98 pass attempts with a completion rate of 52%, and a team passer rating of 103.93. The Tigers ranked 79th in total third-down pass conversions in 2018. 2018 Red Zone Passing In the red zone, LSU ranked last nationally in QB rating (84.57). The Tigers only scored six pass TD's (108th). LSU was not a bad offense in 2018, but they needed to modernize and invigorate the offense in several areas, especially the red zone and on third down. Joe Brady The innovative coach of choice for coach Ed O would be the 29-year-old Joe Brady. Brady wouldn't have to travel far from New Orleans to Baton Rouge. Brady was an offensive assistant for the New Orleans Saints and worked under Sean Payton, who is known as one to the top offensive innovators in the NFL. Joe Brady's Prior Experience Brady started his career at William & Mary coaching Linebackers in 2013. He then moved on to Penn State as a Graduate Assistant in 2015. In 2017, he would take an offensive assistant post with the New Orleans Saints. In 2019, Brady became the LSU Pass Game Coordinator, and right after the Tigers National Championship win, Brady took the open Offensive Coordinator position offered to him by new Head Coach Matt Rhule with the Carolina Panthers. Brady Has risen through the ranks quickly and is now the youngest Offensive Coordinator in the NFL. The Joe Brady Coaching Style and Philosophy Like Sean Payton, Brady appears to have an ability to adapt to personnel. He said as much while speaking at his Panthers introductory press conference. Brady mentioned the importance of adapting to your personnel. What does this mean? It means that you have to be multiple in your scheme, and creative based on your personnel. Your Personnel changes often in the NFL, and Joe Brady's adaptation philosophy is one that can succeed in the NFL. The 2019 Record-Breaking LSU Tiger Offensive Ascension Not all credit goes to Brady, who split his duties with another Coordinator Steve Ensminger who was the LSU offensive coordinator in 2018. The Ensminger, Brady pairing allowed for a more seasoned coaching vet to gain insights and knowledge from a brilliant up and coming coach. Innovating the LSU pass offense was the sole intention of hiring Joe Brady hence his title (Pass Game Coordinator). The Effect of Joe Brady by The Numbers In 2019 The 2018 LSU offense as a whole averaged 402 yds per game and ranked 69th in the nation. In 2019, the LSU pass offense averaged 401.6 yds per game. Again, LSU averaged 401.6 yds PASSING in 2019 vs. their entire offensive per game average of 402 yds per game the year prior. This one stat by itself is enough evidence, but the deeper you look into the passing offense, you can gain insights into the how and why behind the rise of the 2019 LSU offense. 2019 LSU Pass Offense by The Numbers The Tigers Pass offense averaged 401.6 yds per game (2nd) and threw the football on 52% of their total plays averaging 10.62 yds per attempt (5th). The Tigers converted 1st downs on 43% of their total pass plays (3rd). They completed 75% of their passes and had an overall team passer rate of 197.4 (2nd). 2019 Explosive Passing Plays The Tigers pass offense hit on plays of 15 yards or longer 9.4 times per game (1st). On explosive plays 25 yards or longer, the Tigers hit on 60 of their 567 pass attempts (1st). 2019 3rd Down Passing LSU converted 43 first downs on third-down passing attempts (35th). Compare this to the 2018 rank of 79th, and it is a drastic difference based on ranking, but the Tigers only converted nine more 1st downs in the passing game in 2019. 2018 vs 2019 Red Zone Passing LSU's offense took a significant jump in red-zone production from 2018. In 2018 the Tigers had a total passer rate of 134.26, completion rate of 59.7%, and scored only six passing TD's. In 2019, the Tiger offense improved its passer rating to 261.9 (2nd), completion rate 71.3 (2nd), and TD's 34 (2nd). They also didn't turn it over through the air in the red area. First Down Passing The stat that sticks out the most when analyzing the 2019 LSU offense is their 1st down pass efficiency. Let's begin by comparing the change in total offensive run-pass ratio. In 2018 the Tigers threw the football on 40.7% of their total offensive plays. Compare this to the 52% to 48% pass to run ratio in 2019. On first down plays in 2018, the LSU's pass to run ratio 38% pass to 62% run. The 2019 addition on first down, 54% passing to 46% running the football. The aggressive change in philosophy helped open up the offense by keeping defenses on their heels with off-schedule play calls. The Tigers averaged 244 of their 402 yards passing per game on first down throws. LSU's passer rating on first down throws of 216.05 ranked 3rd in the nation. The Tigers attempted 293 first down throws, which also ranked 3rd in the land. The area that benefited the most were on plays of 15 yards or more. The Tigers hit 89 plays of 15 yards or longer 89 times on first down throws, 45 times they hit on plays of 25 yards or more. For daily analysis, please follow us on Instagram.

Tale Of The Tape: New York Jets QB Zach Wilson NFL Preseason Debut Stat Line: 6-9, 63 yards, 86.8 QBR Debut Grade: B- Football Scout 365 2021 NFL Draft Ranking : 5th overall, #3 overall QB Click here to learn more about how we grade Zach Wilson Debut a Success The Jets finally witnessed their new QB, Zach Wilson, on Saturday night in real NFL action. Wilson, drafted number two overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, completed 6 of his 9 pass attempts for 63 yards in his NFL preseason debut. Wilson wowed the Jets faithful on a few throws, including one to Cory Davis on a comeback route that displayed his high-level arm talent. It was a small sample size, but Wilson didn't do anything to disprove his credibility as the 2nd overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Offense Needs To be Catered Around His Abilities Like the other QB's in Wilson's draft class, he will benefit by having an offense catered to his strengths early. Less thinking about where to go with the football, more designed rollouts, and play action with single side reads will help him get into a rhythm early in his NFL career. Wilson Has Undeniable Talent, But Jets Fans Must Be Patient During the NFL draft evaluation process, I was conflicted about Wilson. I did not think the competition level he had faced at BYU adequately prepared him for the NFL, or at least as a day one level starter, but the Jets will roll him out in week one regardless. Now, I am in no way discounting his true talent level, but Wilson will need his coaches to be patient, and based on the Jets game plan on Saturday night; it appears they are willing to build around his skill set. I wouldn't expect an incredible rookie season if you are a Jets fan, so patience is the key, something Jets fans lack. Wilson has a lot of talent, his arm is live, he can make any throw, so if he can build on his pocket awareness, patience, and poise, he will excel in the NFL.

After Further Review: 2019 Review of Ryan Tannehill Titans Became More Balanced With Tannehill In the 12 games post-Marcus Mariota, Tannehill was fantastic, completing 70% of his throws for 2742 yds and a 22/6 TD/INT ratio. The Titan's offense became more balanced after the change from Mariota to Tannehill. From week one to six, the Titans averaged 291 total yds, 103 yds rushing and 187 yds passing. The final 12 games, including the playoffs, the Titans averaged 379 yds per game with 162 yds on the ground vs. 217 yds through the air. The Titans offense increased total yardage production by 30%. Play Action Pass A large part of the increase involved the offensive balance and the use of the play-action pass. The Titans increased their play-action yds per attempt from 9.65 under Mariota the first six weeks, to 13.04 yds per attempt the next 12 games with Tannehill. It Helps to Have Derrick Henry Derrick Henry faced an eight-man box on 35% of his snaps in 2019, a number that opened up play-action passing opportunities. Henry posted 1504 yds, and 16 TD's in 2019. The Titan's success hinges Derrick Henry's ability to run the football, and the offensive line is continuing to improve. The Titans offensive line ranks 8th best entering the 2020 NFL season and is on the rise. For daily analysis, please follow us on Instagram. We are also on Twitter, Linkedin, and YouTube.
