The one simple thing I've noticed with Ryan's D scheme and Newton, Ryan  seems to have a pinch put on Cam with the DEs to where Cam is set to throw as Cam's tendency seems to run backwards to get away from the DEs instead of either stepping up in the pocket for a quick throw or to step up through the middle to run.

If I were coaching Cam this week, which I'm not, I'd try and make him aware of this as it is a tendency and tendencies are what D Coordinators thrive on.   When you feel those DEs collapsing the triangle on you, step up to the space they left, look for a quick toss to your outlet, step in to the gap left, right or middle, but  don't go backwards.  Nothing good comes of that.

the US Submarine force experienced the greatest attrition rate of any of the US armed forces services in WWII, but after Pearl Harbor they were literally the only weapon we had to combat the Japanese with. The boats went into action with an epidemic of faulty torpedoes and it was the Navy and the manufacturer pointing fingers at each other for way too long. The Barbs captain was not called Lucky Fluckey for nothing, but aggressive boat captains were promoted if they survived, non producers were KIA or shipped out quick.

some of the most gut-wrenching accounts i've read were of submariners. sam dealey rivaled fluckey's badassery and the fate of the uss harder was a cathartic experience for me almost, more so than it should've been. 

iirc the harder was actually one of the initial victims of the plague of torpedo malfunctions that swept through the USN. it took a full two years for people to figure out mark xiv firing pins were deforming before they could hit detonator caps on 90-degree-angle contacts, negating countless perfect strikes over that period. fluckey dealt with it too in the barb's earlier patrols, but not to the extent dealey did. dealy actually got accused of being a subpar mariner and imagining convoys in the dark... lol

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
