Marvin Harrison, Jr. Camp: He got bigger. Games: He's still not performing quality jump-up-and-throughs when facing the ball. Waits for ball flat-footed and uses underhand attack. Completely mitigates his height advantage. Great w/back to the ball. Facing it? Not fixed.

Luther Burden Caleb Williams likely expected Burden to continue tempo-ing his break across this open zone. Burden settled. If correct, rookie mistake. It has been a luxury to bring Burden along slowly in an O that Odunze said would take a yr+ to fully learn. #DaBears

Caleb Williams looking downfield, but when Roquan Smith comes through clean, you gotta a check it. He does. Caleb has been consistently on point with what #DaBears OL is giving him good or bad.

Liam Coen / Trevor Lawrence Other WRs may look the part in your offense, but Parker Washington should be your jam. He's my jam. He makes plays. Good break, always YAC, and nails at the catch point. Wins balls. Feed him and win.

RB Kaelon Black #Hoosiers #NFLDraft Good inside runners attack downhill and finish with intensity. Black does this against unblocked defenders or into the back of his lead blocker if necessary. Good finisher mentality.

Ja’Marr Chase on 3rd and 14 with the double move. The pace change and extension of the upper body was so fluid, it was probably too difficult not to bite on it.

Justin Jefferson selling the out-breaker at top of stem. What few receivers do that he does is hold the eyes for three steps before snapping back to break inside. #Vikings

As I said this April, Colston Loveland is TE1 from this 2025 class. Don’t care about this year’s box scores. Loveland pops off the film. One of the catches of the day. #DaBears .

“They don’t want [Ashton Jeanty] to do this too much…” Are you kidding me? An RB on a safety who understands how to initiate contact to minimize that contact at the same time? Please…every down vs a safety and a downhill runway to him!

Over the years, I have shown numerous catches where the WR “reinforces his position” with his hand that some may confuse as a push-off. These two instances on the same routes were pushes. Refs don’t call it and George Pickens scores.

Bhayshul Tuten is probably already the best zone runner on this team if he can maintain ball security. This press and slide inside paired with his burst is breathtaking. Could complement Etienne very soon.

Caleb Williams makes the big-time play here, but his WR Rome Odunze has to catch this -- difficult pass, but that's his role here. Excellent sidestep from first point of pressure and anticipates second point so he can flush outside. Good placement on move. #DaBears

Good route adjustment by Marvin Harrison, Jr. BUT the attack is the same underhand issue I've been pointing out on high points that he's shown since at least 2023... Overhand attack is optimal and limits potential to fight this ball, control sooner, and turn. #cardinals

JJ McCarthy to Justin Jefferson in a tight window over the shallow defender. Confident throw here with excellent placement.

RB Myles Montgomery #NFLDraft #UCF - IDs over pursuit during exchange (if not anticipating pre-snap) - Two steps and into the cutback - Great job getting feet over and away from backside LB - Open field: holds off near-side CB. Forces backside CB to run 35 yds. Gorgeous run.

The Panthers run defense was outmanned Sunday. Gap plays up the middle were like free parking for the Jaguars and Travis Etienne.

Jadarian Price #NFLDraft Tighten up the footwork so the feet aren't so far apart and it will be easier to cut back. This double-up with the left foot was too wide and left him splayed. Shorter strides, better control. He sees the field well enough but feet must match.
