5 Tool Sports Podcast: Wk4 Preview and Picks For Thursday Night NFL Bengals vs. The Jaguars This week's edition of the Thursday night preview examines the current state of the 0-3 Jaguars and the 2-1 Bengals (tied for 1st in the AFC North), who appear to be ascending. Before we make our game picks official, we discuss the rookie struggles for Trevor Lawrence and will Urban Meyer make beyond one year in the NFL?

Steel City Resurgence The 2020 Steelers WR group has the potential to be the best 59% Of Smith Schuster's Snaps In 2019 Came From The Slot Smith Schuster was a star on the rise in 2018 recording 111 catches on 166 targets for 1426 yds and 7 TD's in 16 games. In 2019 he recorded 42 catches on 70 targets for 552 yards and 3 TD's in 12 games. Schuster was dealing with lower-body injuries throughout 2019 and had to play with the 2nd and 3rd QB's after Big Ben was injured. With AB playing outside 72% of the time in 2018, Schuster played 56% of his snaps from the slot in 2018. In 2019 Schuster ran 59% of his snaps from the slot while manning the outside 41% of the time. We project his volume to be around 130 combined targets and rush att with 1005 yds receiving in 2020. 92% of Diontae Johnson's snaps were from the X, or Z in 2019 Diontae Johnson displayed a similar skillset to Antonio Brown as a rookie in 2019, compiling 59 catches on 92 targets for 680 yards and 5 TDs. He added four carries for 45 yards on the ground and 20 punt returns for 248 yards and 1 TD. Johnson showed a knack for converting third downs, where he snagged 25 grabs for 322 yards (12.9 yds per catch). Johnson can become the Steelers number one in his second season. Johnson has a high upside and can provide the same outside WR presence that Antonio Brown did in 2018, where Brown compiled 1200+ yds, and Smith-Schuster compiled 1400+ yds. At 6-4 230lbs, Claypool runs an explosive 4.42 forty Chase Claypool provides a physical presence at WR that the Steelers have not had in recent memory. Claypool's speed (4.42 Forty), and size are Megatronesque. Claypool was fantastic at Notre Dame in tight coverage, where he was able to use his frame to go up and get the football. He could also make in-air adjustments to position himself to make a play in tight coverage. Claypool is a good route runner and displayed an ability to play inside and out. Claypool could provide an additional outside threat opposite of Diontae Johnson in the Steelers offense providing explosive depth and allowing Juju Smith Schuster to play in the slot where he has played some of his best football. 75% of Washington's snaps came from the X or Z in 2019 James Washington is an explosive WR who led the steelers in yds per reception in 2019 (16.7). Washington compiled 44 catches on 80 targets for 735 yards and 3 TDs. Washington played in the slot on 25% of his snaps in 2019, showing some versatility. Washington collected 33 of his receptions for 518 yds in three WR sets. Washington will compete with Chase Claypool for the third WR spot. Washington will split snaps at one of the outside WR spots with both Claypool and Johnson in 2020. We project that the Steelers will mix a lot of 11 and 12 personnel groupings based on their current personnel. When in 11 personnel, we believe they will have Smith-Schuster in the slot at a higher rate with a combination of Claypool, Johnson, and Washington playing outside.

NFL Midseason Review: The AFC Division The Contenders AFC Kansas City Chiefs Buffalo Bills Tennessee Titans Baltimore Ravens MVP Caliber High-Level Starting QB's All four division-leading teams are my front runners to make it to the Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs reclaimed the top spot of my AFC power rankings for a few reasons. They have an MVP-level QB in Patrick Mahomes, as do the Ravens (Lamar Jackson) and the Bills (Josh Allen). Offensive Line Rankings According To PFF The teams boasting the best offensive line play among my contenders include Kansas City (2nd), New England (11th), Baltimore (11th), and Tennessee (17th). The Bills OL According to PFF, the Buffalo Bills have the 18th rated pass-blocking offensive line, with the 24th rated run blocking OL. The Bills OL has been inconsistent in 2021, it is an area they must improve down the stretch if they are going to remain a legit contender. The Patriots OL The Patriots, who have the 3rd highest graded pass offense, have the 19th rated pass-blocking grade and the 8th highest run-blocking grade. The Patriots are using the quick throw game with great success while also blocking at a high level in the run game. The Ravens OL The Ravens are similar to that of the Patriots; they grade out at 14th pass pro and 6th in run blocking. We know the key to the run game is on the shoulders of Lamar Jackson, but as we just witnessed vs the Dolphins who ran a lot of cover 0 and came after Jackson, there is a way to stifle him. I found a great analysis about the Dolphin's use of cover 0 and pressure looks against the Ravens . It is a copycat league, so I expect to see more teams challenging the Ravens at the LOS and coming after Lamar until he can show he can make them pay for leaving the back end of their defense open. The Titans OL The Titans are 29th in pass-blocking grade and 12th in run blocking. Running The Ball Down The Stretch The Ravens Run Offense The key for all of these teams as we come down the stretch will be their ability to run the football, the Ravens have the best offense for that, but they cannot just rely on Lamar to make plays on the ground in playoff games. The Patriots Run Offense The top RB among my contenders is Damien Harris, who is in a Patriots offense dedicated to a committee approach; they also proved they could be dominant on the ground without Harris as Rhamondre Stevenson surpassed 100 rush yards with Harris out in week 10. Chiefs Run Offense The Kansas City Chiefs should get RB Clyde Edwards Helaire back in week 11; if so, he would move the needle slightly for the Chiefs in their ability to move the football on the ground. The Bills and Titans Run Offenses Are Similar After Derrick Henry Injury The Bills and Titans, to me, are in a weird place at the RB position. The Titans lost Derrick Henry to a season-ending injury but have done well with their makeshift committee backfield. The Bills have three backs of their own, but I have a hard time ranking them ahead of the Titan's current backfield. I still give the Bills a slight edge; Singletary and Moss are a decent tandem; the wildcard is how much the Bills can get out of Matt Breida after his two TD performances in week 10? The AFC Contender Defenses Bills, Titans, And Patriots Top The List The Bills top the list, followed by the Titans and the Patriots. The Ravens have done a great job after Losing Marcus Peters, and now they are without safety Deshon Elliott. The Patriots have been solid with Matt Judon leading the way, and the Titans, who started rough, have now looked all world led by Jeff Simmons upfront, who has 7.5 sacks, Harrold Landry, who has 10 sacks, and in the secondary Kevin Byard has been very good with 5 INT's. The Titans are surging on defense, and I mentioned all of that and still feel like I am not giving them enough credit. The AFC Darkhorse New England Patriots I mentioned the Patriot's offensive line and their ability to run the football, as you can see above. But it has been the development of rookie QB Mac Jones that has separated the Patriots within a division where many had them finishing third; they are now legitimate contenders in the AFC East. 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.

NFL Personnel Group Usage, Analysis and Trends Since 2018, Check Out The New Dashboard We have compiled every NFL team's personnel group usage since the 2018 season. What is the significance of analyzing a team's personnel group usage, and how can you use the data to your advantage? Click to Go To Personnel Group Analysis Dashboard The Role of Personnel Groups Varies By The Team At All Levels Personnel is dictated mainly by roster construction, and sometimes circumstances can dictate how a team utilizes particular personnel. For example, some run-heavy teams like to use multiple TE's more than others and might roster more TE's than other teams. Teams that use 12 personnel (1 back, two TE's) might be more run-heavy, but that doesn't always have to be the case. Some run-heavy teams use only one TE more often and are in an 11 Personnel (1 back, 1 TE) consistently. How Personnel Groups Can Be Used Strategically Teams at all levels of football will use personnel groups to dictate the type of personnel groups an oppossing team defense will trot out on the field. For example, a run-heavy offense might use 12 personnel at a 30% rate, and when in 12 personnel, they run the football 70% of the time on first down. Teams can use the personnel to dictate the defense's personnel and then break their tendency in a key moment. For example, let's say team X is up by 3 with 12:00 mins to go in the 4th QTR, and on 1st and ten, team Y, the defense has been loading the box matching your personnel with their bigger personnel throughout the game, and they have been giving you man to man on the outside. Now might be that critical moment to take that shot vs. man to man. Now, this is just one example of the strategic use of different personnel groups. The Most Common Personnel Groups Used Today 11 personnel remains the dominant personnel group in the NFL. From 2018-2019, 11 personnel (one back, one TE) usage in the NFL did drop by 5% YOY, and from 2019 to 2020, 11 personnel held steady at 60%. How and Why 11 Personnel Became Dominant? The evolution of 3 WR sets in football is where the transition from two TE run-heavy looks (12 personnel) and 2 Backs, one TE looks have evolved (21 personnel). In 2008, NFL teams used a higher rate of 12 and 21 personnel combined with 11 personnel still being the dominant grouping at 34%, 12 personnel, and 21 personnel accounted for 43%, and 22 personnel (two backs, two TE's) accounted for 10% of the average league total for personnel group usage in 2008. Let's fast forward to 2020; 22 personnel is nonexistent except for a few teams who employ a fullback and multiple TE's, and even those teams run a low rate of 22 and 21 personnel. Personnel groups have evolved to a higher rate of 11 personnel through the years because of the emergence of highly skilled slot receivers and RB's who excel both as pass catchers and pass blockers out of the backfield. In addition, some highly skilled RB's are even more versatile and can line up in the slot or flex out wide, which allows an OC to keep them on the field consistently in key passing situations as a receiver. The emergence of more athletic TE's has also elevated the use of 11 personnel. Instead of trotting out an additional slot receiver, teams can keep their TE's on the field and move them all around. TE's are no longer inline consistently and counted on as blockers; they are used in the slot, out wide, and the backfield. Top Five Teams By Personnel Usage We examined the top five NFL teams by the top three personnel groups used in the NFL. The top three, as mentioned above, are 11 personnel, 12 personnel, and 21 personnel. Top Five NFL Teams Who Utilized 11 Personnel (One Back, One TE) in 2020 NFL Average- 60% Cincinnati Bengals 11 Personnel Usage- 76% The Bengals 11 personnel usage is warranted, and the expectation is that it will continue in 2021. By drafting Ja'Marr Chase, the Bengals now can slide Tyer Boyd back inside to the slot, with Tee Higgins playing opposite of Chase on the outside. In addition, they possess versatility at RB with Joe Mixon, who can be an every-down back and is an excellent receiver out of the backfield. They can use a higher rate of 12 personnel with the emergence of TE Drew Sample and the player he replaced due to injury TE C.J. Uzomah. Pittsburgh Steelers 11 Personnel Usage- 75% The Steelers are a team we expect might drop in year over year 11 personnel usage. Still, they are so loaded at WR making any assertion other than them maintaining a 75% 11 Personnel usage might be invalid. The one argument is that they drafted TE Pat Friermuth from Penn State, who will team up with Eric Ebron at TE in 2021. Kansas City Chiefs 11 Personnel Usage- 73% The Chiefs are an air raid offense built around having a versatile 11 personnel. The RB's in this offense must be good receivers, and the TE must line up all over the formation and use his athleticism for mismatch advantages. One of those boxes has been checked with Travis Kelce at TE, while the RB is in question. CEH is a good receiver and an adequate runner. As a result, the Chiefs should maintain a top-five status in 11 personnel usage in 2021 using three wide receivers, one TE, and one back. Team to Watch Jacksonville Jaguars 11 Personnel Usage- 73% The Jags will be interesting to watch in 2021. Urban Meyer is testing the idea of using more 21 personnel based on his statement on Ettiene working as a WR. Of course, Etienne is a RB, and to believe anything otherwise is silly, but Urban Meyer envisions his role in the offense for 2021 to be Percy Harvin-esque. This means you have another mismatch style back in Etienne paired with James Robinson on the field all at once. We already know Robinson has strong receiver ability, and Etienne, coming out of Clemson, showed us his ability as a high-level receiver. The Jags are an exciting team to keep an eye on regarding how they might change the game in personnel usage. If the Urban Meyer two RB thought process works, other teams will, of course, try to mimic what the Jags do. New York Jets 11 Personnel Usage- 72% Top Five Teams Who Utilized 12 (One Back, Two TE's) Personnel In 2020 NFL Average- 20% Tennessee Titans 12 Personnel Usage- 35% Philadelphia Eagles 12 Personnel Usage- 35% Team To Watch Arizona Cardinals 12 Personnel Usage- 30% The Cardinals used nearly four times the amount of 10 personnel (one back, zero TE's) in 2019 than the next team. In 2020, they flipped their personnel usage to a more NFL-centric approach using more 11 and 12 personnel. Kingsbury learned that there is a big difference between the college and NFL game in that 10 Personnel cannot be a base level group like it is in the college game. As a result, the Cardinals surrendered 50 sacks in 2019 (bottom third). 21 of the 50 sacks surrendered in 2019 happened when they were in 10 personnel. They improved in 2020, allowing only 29 total sacks, partly related to decreased ten personnel usage. Los Angeles Rams 12 Personnel Usage- 29% Houston Texans 12 Personnel Usage- 28% Top Five NFL Teams Who Used 21 (Two Backs, One TE) Personnel In 2020 NFL Average- 8% New England Patriots 21 Personnel Usage- 37% Team To Watch San Francisco 49ers 21 Personnel Usage- 33% The 49ers are one of a handful of teams who use a traditional FB. The 49ers are run-heavy, and they rely on the use of constraint-style plays that can get LB's in a bind. The TE in this offense has to be a good blocker and a pass-catcher, and they have that part covered. The 49ers might be even more 21 personnel heavy, with an athlete potentially starting at the QB position in Trey Lance. With or without Lance starting in 2021, don't expect much to change in their offense or personnel usage style. Minnesota Vikings 21 Personnel Usage- 26% Baltimore Ravens 21 Personnel Usage- 18% Green Bay Packers 21 Personnel Usage- 14%

2022 NFL Draft: Evaluating North Carolina Tar Heel QB Sam Howell Today we examine 2022 NFL Draft Prospect and North Carolina QB Sam Howell. The Grade Scale Click here for more info on how we evaluate NFL Draft prospects The grading scale below is on a level of 1-10, 10 being the elite level and 1 being the lowest developmental level. Click the link above to learn more. (QB) Overall Accuracy (Short/Intermediate/Deep) Grade: 8 On film, Howell shows he can fit the ball into windows. His ability to hit throws down the seam over LB's and in front of the safeties is notable. (QB) Throws Outside The Numbers Grade: 7 On film, Howell shows an adequate ability to hit throws outside of the numbers. Because UNC relies on RPO-based routes inside the numbers, I would like to see more throws by Howell outside the numbers in 2021. (QB) Progressions and Reads Grade: 7 Howell demonstrates the ability to go from one to three, but the Tarheel offense is play-action and RPO heavy. There is a slight concern that Howell needs to develop more in going through progressions, but the concern level is low. (QB) Deep Accuracy (Ball Placement) Grade: 8 Sam Howell possesses a quick release and good deep ball placement (>20+ air yards), which showed in 2020 where he completed 53% of throws 20 yards or more down the field while throwing 11 TD's to 2 INT's on deep throws. (QB) Under Pressure Grade: 7 Howell was outstanding under pressure completing 53% of his throws while compiling an 11/3 TD/INT ratio when facing pressure in 2020. Howell has been a starter since his freshman season in Chapel Hill. (QB) Play Action Passing/RPO Grade: 8 The Tarheels run a very QB-friendly RPO-focused offense (most RPO's in the NCAA in 2020). Howell excelled in play-action and RPO averaging 12.0 yards per attempt in 2020. (QB) Arm Talent (strength, angles, creativity) Grade: 7 Sam Howell has NFL-level arm strength. He is not known as a QB who relies on his throwing power to fit a ball into a tight window, but he is someone who will take a chance from time to time. He can benefit more by relying on his consistent deep ball placement than using his average to good arm strength to fit the football into a tight window. His arm strength is more than adequate for the NFL level. Overall Athleticism At The Position (Pocket Movement Mobility Speed Footwork Power Balance) Grade: 6 Howell is an adequate athlete who can move well enough to extend plays which is a crucial trait of current young top NFL QB's. Having the ability to create when a play breaks down is vital in today's football. He could improve by not taking off too soon and allowing the play to develop. Overall, he shows good pocket awareness. Howell has good footwork tendencies but could improve, as do all QBs at the collegiate level. Awareness and Vision (Position Based) Grade: 7 Howell has good awareness but can sometimes force a throw into a tight area. These issues are few and far between but must be acknowledged. He possesses good field vision; he does a great job identifying the open areas locating his receivers. On film, you can see his ability to drive the pocket when he feels pressure coming, which is a high-level trait. Player Size (Position Based) Grade: 7 Howell is not a huge QB at 6-1, 220lbs. He draws comparisons to Baker Mayfield, and you can see some similarities in play style. His size is not a factor and is more than adequate at the NFL level. Scheme Flexibility (is the player scheme dependent or easily adaptable)? Grade: 7 As we have already discussed, the Tarheels use a lot of RPO. When I scouted Baker Mayfield coming out of Oklahoma, I remember his game vs. Ohio State and the amount of RPO they ran in that game on the road vs. the Buckeyes and during his final season in Norman. That did not stop me from grading Baker Mayfield as the most NFL-ready QB entering the 2018 NFL draft. Howell can position himself similarly entering the 2021 CFB season and ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft. On tape and early in the process, Howell looks the part of an NFL-ready QB. 2021 Games to Watch Away vs. Va Tech Sept 3rd Home vs. Miami Oct 16th Away vs. Notre Dame Oct 30th Conclusion/Overall Grade: 7.18 (Instant Impact Player) Howell is considered a low-level Instant Impact player with year one starter potential. As discussed above, he shows NFL-ready traits similar to the evaluation we performed on Baker Mayfield in 2017. When evaluating any player and especially the QB position, one of the key factors to consider is their experience level and year-over-year progression. Howell has been the starter in Chapel Hill since he arrived two seasons ago. As a freshman in 2019, Howell was very good in his 13 games as the starter completing 61% of his passes for 3600+ yds. He posted an elite-level TD/INT ratio of 38/7 and the nation's 10th highest passer rate (160.25). He followed up in 2020 by posting 3500+ pass yds, a 30/7 TD/INT ratio, and the nation's 8th best passer rate (179.09. He has two years of experience as a starter under his belt heading into the 2021 season.

Change Is Coming as College Sports Leadership Is Working To Separate FBS Football From The NCAA As the college football season nears the finish line while running on fumes, and college basketball kicks off its 2020-21 season, a commission of former AD's, school presidents, and influential figures in college sports are recommending sweeping changes across the college sports landscape. The group, which refers to themselves as the Knight Commission on intercollegiate athletics, began a deep dive into the structure of today's intercollegiate athletics landscape. Their mission is to transform the current NCAA D1 model and at the top of that list is D1 or "FBS" college football. Knight Commission recommends a new governing structure for the sport of FBS Football In a December 3rd press release, The Knights Commission released a document detailing their recommendation to form a new governing body for FBS (D1) level college football. The commission discusses the need to separate D1 football from the NCAA model leaving The NCAA as the governing body for all other intercollegiate athletics, including the men's and woman NCAA tournaments. March Madness is the top revenue generator for the NCAA, generating a near $1B annually, with most of the revenue coming from TV contracts. The NCAA currently handles all regulatory functions for FBS college football yet does not receive any football revenues. FBS football’s national championship, the College Football Playoff (CFP), is managed instead by the independent CFP Administration, LLC, outside of the NCAA structure. The revenues from that championship, which generated more than $460 million in 2019, are retained by the FBS conferences and institutions to use however they choose. We’re at a moment of both crisis and opportunity in college sports,” said Knight Commission co-chair Arne Duncan, former U.S. Secretary of Education. “Now is not the time to think only of narrow institutional interests. Now is the time for college leaders to step up, and act on their desire to advance big solutions to benefit college athletes. - Knights Commission Co-Chair Arne Duncan The Survey Says, Change is Needed The commission’s novel survey found that nearly 80 percent of Division I campus and sports leaders favor “big solutions” over incremental change for reforming D-I governance. Those leaders also believe the crisis created by the COVID-19 pandemic presents the “perfect time” to address serious governance shortcomings. The commission believes that the NCAA is falling behind the fast-moving evolutionary commercial changes sweeping across the college sports landscape. Separating the sport of FBS football from the NCAA would end the current financially defunct system of governance, in which the NCAA absorbs all expenses for FBS college football, without receiving financial benefits from the sport or the College Football Playoff. Those expenses include enforcement, catastrophic insurance, legal services, health and safety administration, and research. No single entity today is responsible for FBS football – the most powerful sport in Division I athletics,” said incoming Knight Commission co-chair Nancy Zimpher, Chancellor Emeritus of the State University of New York. “It is time to end this leadership void and bring more accountability to the sport, both for the benefit of athletes and for the future of FBS football. - Knight Commission Co-Chair Nancy Zimpher The Separation of the Haves and Have Nots Is A Numbers Game The landscape of college football is changing. Student-athletes will soon be able to profit from their name image and likeness, and the schools with the largest following and richest donors will begin to separate from the have nots. In addition, with the new transfer portal rules that allow a student-athlete to essentially become a free agent, the landscape is ablaze. These changes might be an indicator that FBS football might consider a significant consolidation where they separate the haves from the have nots. Below are the top 5 revenue generators from each Power Five Football conference. The athletic departments who are not operating at a loss have the best opportunity to come out on the other side of Covid with little to no harm vs. the schools which are operating in the red, including those who have operated in the red before Covid that might not be able to sustain their current FBS status moving forward. The future of D1 (FBS) college football could see a transformation where the conferences consolidate to divide more revenue among fewer football programs—driven by TV contracts and the need for more top matchups to generate buzz and get eyes on TV and the growing online viewing platforms. Changes are inevitable, and it will only strengthen the game of college football moving forward. American 1. UCF — $30 million 2. SMU — $21 million 3. Houston — $19 million 4.
