But it wasn't just big plays that Sims gave up, oh no -- Sportradar charted Sims with allowing an 81.1% completion rate, the worst among starting cornerbacks. Oh wait, I mean "Easterby himself will wind up being named GM! Wentz is worth taking a chance on provided his contract is palatable. Players should never be left guessing what their coach is going to do in key situations, yet that's what we saw at the end of the NFC Championship Game. Instead, they remained two scores behind, and the Chiefs pulled away in the second half. Both of us are taking Tampa Bay +3.5 -- less because we're predicting the Buccaneers to win, and more because we think the game will be closer than the general betting public seems to think at this point. Guys. I would rather have Adam Gase any day over Matt Patricia, who replicates Gase's terrible on the field coaching but marries it with a soul destroying, locker room poisoning personality. In the midst of getting all the required documents and your blog helped demystify ð Wondering about housing in Valencia. The Texans have a disproportionately huge amount of salary invested in two inside linebackers: our first nominee is our third member of that franchise, and also the third-highest remunerated inside linebacker in the NFL. And we could talk about Bruce Arians' accepting the Packers' deliberate offside penalty late in the game, as they tried to trade yardage for time. Bryan: Three offenses finished with an offensive DVOA worse than -20.0% in 2020. We did consider Jerry Jeudy for this third slot, as he was just two drops behind Johnson and with a slightly worse DYAR and DVOA. Andrew: 8-11-1. by Aaron Brooks G… // Feb 03, 2021 - 2:24pm, In reply to QAnon material here, methinks. Good luck getting anyone else to accept that contract, considering everything we wrote above about, y'know, one of the worst seasons in NFL history. Instead the Texans pissed DeAndre off, and they had to sell his last contract year to the highest bidder. By 2023, you'd have to guess that a $32M/year cap hit would actually be on the *low* side for a quarterback. If the Bills had gone for both and succeeded, they could have been right back in the game at, worst-case, 24-21 (if they gained no extra points). One of those reasons is drops: Marquez Valdes-Scantling's 11.1% drop rate is the highest among starting receivers (per Sports Info Solutions), and among Green Bay's top four wide receivers only Davante Adams has a drop rate under 10%. Even the heretofore reliable Dan Bailey fell victim in 2020. The Broncos had the worst adjusted line yards at mid/guard of any team, yet ran almost half of their rushing plays in that direction. It's hard to point to another linemen who put up anything near as poor as Johnson's play while still being given so many opportunities to hurt his team. Note Chris Godwin getting triple-covered down the middle, leaving both Miller and Mike Evans single-covered on the outside. Those two drops alone were a likely six-point swing in a game the Packers lost by five. In Green Bay's scenario, you still need to score twice down eight; it's just one of those scores can be a two-point conversion that takes no time off the clock. He wasn't forcing fair catches (just eight), or pinning them inside the 20 (just 12), or kicking it high enough to give his team time to run down and down it (just four). OK, another thing. At the very least, the quarterback and head coach were not on the same page. With 5.5 of those, Landry was the only back-eight defender to surpass even a single sack. Which brings into play the Texans getting David Johnson as part of the package, which is part of the reason the deal was widely panned, i.e. Miner. #BillsMafia #NFLPlayoffs, #BUFvsKC on CBS Shenault was the 3rd-best receiver on a 1-15 team. I get the impact of Wentz's salary, but for KCW, I'd lean towards Haskins' overall behaviour. Explore menu, see photos and read 655 reviews: "Swiftwater is amazing - their handling social-distancing really well - I had my own private fire pit outside, and the flatbread was incredible!" That was just the start to a terrible season which saw, in no particular order: And, of course, the worst blow of all? This year's column was tougher to put together as a result, too. Philly seems adamant on making it work though. Bryan: What are you doing here? by Aaron Brooks G… // Feb 03, 2021 - 2:07pm. by ImNewAroundThe… // Feb 03, 2021 - 1:11pm, In reply to While his cap hit in 2020… by Pat, You could very well attach assets to move him as Goffs hits are now $27.825m, then $25.5m, then $0 dead cap in 2023 and 2024 or UFA in 2025. I may be missing something obvious but the trade was a disaster in both ways. In the view of your humble Fisher writer, the Packers kicking a field goal late in the game down eight is very, very, very bad, but at least you can construct an argument around it that makes a little more sense than the Bills' kicking decisions. To be fair, Gase never said which direction his team would be hyperdriving in. Bryan: With the Bills losing in the AFC Championship Game, this is not a runaway! It's not that he was especially bad in isolation -- we could argue that Jacksonville's Cam Robinson deserves the spot for the worst year of his professional career -- but Thomas represents so much lost potential compared to the rest of his class. At the MLK Deli in Congress Heights, the signature sauce adorns Mr. Lukeâs fried chicken sandwich, which is served on a brioche bun. Andrew: The AFC South may have been one of the four divisions that sent multiple teams to the postseason, but the other two teams were various degrees of trash fire depending on the exact position group under consideration. The Texans alienated and traded him because he wasn't a culture fit with Ayatollah Jack due to such heinous crimes as wanting to be a father to his children from previous relationships, and accepted a terrible deal because their sub-Millen-level GM saw David Johnson as a valuable asset when in fact he was a significant liability. Johnson was, however, the starting running back on the league's worst rushing offense by DVOA, with a cap hit of over $11 million. This is a situation where you do not care if Tampa Bay completes a pass in the middle of the field -- time will expire and the Packers would go to the half down 14-10, not a terrible place to be in. On fourth-and-3 from the 8-yard line down by the same margin, McDermott chose to ... kick. Our second nomination was originally another player from the AFC South, Jacksonville's high-profile free-agent addition Joe Schobert. 4 overall. The Cowboys finished with their first losing record since drafting Prescott, and Nolan was not retained. John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich: a hard-working naval administrator and inventor of the convenience food that bears his name. In reply to One common refrain… by Aaron Brooks G…. Yes, Feeney played about half the season at center, so it's not quite an apples-to-apples comparison. There would've been someone willing to give up more. 23 in rushing DYAR and No. Not too long beforehand. The team finished 4-12. I can't even say that much, as I'm guaranteed last place with no players remaining. Even if you give an allowance to being surprised that Tampa Bay is going to the Super Bowl, only Cam Akers put up more points per game than Fournette has. Now, to be fair, some of those high average numbers come from the fact that opposing quarterbacks were more likely to challenge Xavien Howard or Eric Rowe; Jones had just 73 targets per Sportradar. Our own figures give Bilal Powell of the New York Jets the title of worst returner, whereas Boston Scott was the worst of those 13 qualifiers. I think the correct way to say this would be "The offer made by the Cardinals was valued more highly by the Texans than the offers made by any other NFL team." 2 receivers, "other" wide receivers, running backs, and tight ends. Is any 2nd rounder going to come close to replicating Hopkins even at a discount? It doesn't matter what statistic you look at for Cushenberry: he allowed more sacks than any other center, blew more pass blocks and more run blocks than any other center, and allowed the second-most stuffs of any center (behind former Broncos starter Matt Paradis, now in Carolina). Boasting both Tyreek Hill and Mike Evans, not to mention Harrison Butker scooping up points on Chiefs touchdowns, Aaron is set for a high-scoring game of his own. If nothing else, it'd be more entertaining! Instead, the All-Keep Choppin' Wood select names the players who made the least of their ample opportunities, who did the most to hurt their franchises either on or off the field (sometimes both!). The triggering incident was a fight with teammate Chuck Clark, but the fight itself was the flashpoint after two years of missed meetings and excuses led to mental mistakes on the practice field. I've exaggerated on my resume at times, especially early in my career, but I certainly didn't make up whole sections about work I've had 0 knowledge in. Considering how many good players Gase has run off his teams over the years, I'm not so sure he and Patricia aren't two of the same moldy sandwich bought on the same day. Each of the 50 states, as well as the nationâs capital, has its own unique food scene, a tableau of flavors of various cultures and ethnicities as well as endemic ingredients and produce. Get over it. There was a whisper of it maybe the day prior but they clearly rushed it. Green has lost all ability to get open -- he still occasionally shows some flashes of his old self by making contested catches, but most of his catches end up being contested because any cornerback worth his salt can keep up with Green nowadays. Vince and Scott still have a chance, as they boast the two starting quarterbacks in the game, but the exact circumstances likely have them on the outside looking in. Best of luck to new Eagles' coach Nick Sirianni, who has a difficult task in front of him getting his quarterback situation sorted before 2021. Records to Date: For a defensive tackle. When Beasley eventually did show up, he underperformed, recording only three solo tackles, no sacks, and not even a single pass pressure on 125 snaps across his first five games. This spicy-sweet concoction goes well on wings, pizza and, well, just about anything. by Aaron Brooks G… // Feb 03, 2021 - 3:07pm, In reply to I would like to know what… by theslothook. Andrew: We don't usually pick an owner for the All-Keep Choppin' Wood Team. Wentz's extension has become an anchor around the team's neck, with the only way out this season being a post-June 1 trade. Bryan: We could have knocked off early and put the entire Chargers offensive line here, as all five primary starters ranged from poor to terrible. At that point, however, the Bills needed a miracle to get back in the football game, and holding on to the ball and hoping something magical would happen is understandable in that circumstance; you can't get the miracle play if you don't give it a shot. We've consciously stayed away from the players involved in that PED case, following reports that they are suing a medical professional as a result of the suspensions. Everyone knew DeAndre was on the market. As it turns out, they never got the ball back in the first place. The 2018 seventh-rounder won't be remembered for any of that, though. NFL app // Yahoo Sports app: https://t.co/RTcXvhOR4u pic.twitter.com/rjzAykpSRL. He canned O'Brien. Wims was then suspended for the team's next two games. Mercilus had 4.0 sacks, but only 10 total pressures. Either way, I would imagine your champion will be one of those two teams. There is no justifiable reason why, with eight seconds left in the half and no Tampa Bay timeouts remaining, Kevin King should be single-covering Scotty Miller with no help deep. In summer of 2020, Easterby and GM/head coach Bill O'Brien traded away star receiver DeAndre Hopkins, upsetting a significant portion of the locker room and fanbase, including starting quarterback Deshaun Watson. 9:00am - 8:00pm More than 447,610 people have now received at least one dose of the COVID vaccine in Minnesota, but recent data released by the CDC shows racial disparities when it ⦠In reply to Do you prefer moldy bread, or moldy meat in your sandwich? Corey Littleton signed a big deal in free agency to join the glitzy Las Vegas Raiders.

We already talked about Adam Gase above, and Scott Turner in Washington had to deal with multiple quarterback injuries and significant turnover. He might have been the single worst intended starting player (i.e., not an injury or opt-out replacement) in the league in 2020. 2 receiver instead of Jordan Love on the bench.". Goddamnit, don't give him ideas! The best strategy should have been to stink one year behind awful qb play while your kiddos learn the ropes. In those four years, the Chargers special teams have produced: Well, at least he figured out how to be average in one category. Archaeological evidence seems to indicate a settlement as early as 124 AD.. Captain James Cook visited the islands on January 18, 1778, and named them the "Sandwich Islands" in honor of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, who as the First Lord of the Admiralty was one of his sponsors. He had only one pass deflection and two charted pressures. Maybe he scrambles for a touchdown, or at least runs the ball close enough to change the call from a kick to a fourth-down attempt. He missed a terrible 19.2% of his tackles, per Pro Football Reference, or an even worse 25.9% if you prefer SIS charting. We roast our meats and make homemade soups ⦠The Jaguars had the third-worst defensive DVOA against tight ends and allowed the third-worst rate of open field yards by our own adjusted line yards metrics. Wentz's -35.9% DVOA was the fifth-worst in history among players with at least 400 pass attempts; we have rarely seen a passer play this poorly in such a large sample size. Blacklock may have been the worst run-defending defensive tackle to earn regular playing time in 2020, but his negative impact is limited because he only played 243 snaps, roughly a quarter of the team's total. I'm absolutely not going to advocate for the sort of behavior we've seen from previous all-KCW selections, but for example Isaiah Wilson was much more fun to write up than Andrew Thomas this year. Drops in and of themselves aren't a guarantee to be on this list; Tyreek Hill was third with 11 drops and he's one of the most dynamic players in football. QAnon material here, methinks. For that, if not for his own intrinsic value (or lack thereof), Johnson is the All-KCW pick. Against Denver, Gase sent both Sam Darnold and Mekhi Becton into the game after clearly being injured. The Texans did not rush the trade. To be fair, the plan was for Michael Pierce to anchor the spot Johnson ended up taking over, and the Vikings didn't have a great option once Pierce opted out of the 2020 season. In 2007, he joined the cast of British sitcom Not Going Out as recurring character Guy, but was written out at the end of series two.. Twice married, his wives were: Betsy Brantley (divorced) No, the confusing bit was the lack of communication with the offense and, in particular, Aaron Rodgers. Such is the madness of the 2020 NFL season. 31 DVOA defense. Veteran Nick Williams, former Patriots free-agent addition Danny Shelton, and rookie John Penisini combined for just three sacks, with Penisini in particular recording the lowest pass pressure rate of any defensive lineman with at least 100 pass rush snaps. Earl's offers a high quality alternative to the standard deli-meat sandwiches being served in the DC Metro area. Auctions from over 6,600 professional auctioneers. So we're leaning on Pat Shurmur, who took over as Denver's offensive coordinator this season and saw their offensive DVOA fall from -11.3% to -20.3% in his first year on the job. I think the Panthers did a lot right this season, but Teddy was never going to lead you anywhere interesting and the coach has time on his hands. Sinai. He still dropped 8 passes. Deep-fried shrimp with shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato, and cajun remoulade on a soft french baguette. And this is a reason to not ridicule the Houston Texans management how exactly? by Andrew Potter // Feb 03, 2021 - 11:40am. Sewage worker. Wentz finished with -780 passing DYAR, worst in the league and one of the 10 worst seasons in DVOA history. You break down the process so nicely it almost seems like a breeze! Bilal Powell didn't play a game for anyone this year; did you mean Braxton Berrios? He wanted a new contract because he felt he was underpaid, but his existing deal was not about to expire. That's OK, because there were plenty of lowlights to highlight! Bryan: George Stewart was the Chargers' special teams coordinator for four seasons, from 2017 to 2020. What I can say is that comparing Gase to Patricia is as if you had made a sandwich with moldy bread and moldy meat and determined that the bread is much better than the meat. Again. Who are the six who could still theoretically catch him? The Jaguars had the worst kickoff return numbers in our special teams metrics, and Tennessee's Kalif Raymond had the lowest average return distance of any player with at least 10 kickoff returns. 703-248-0150 Where do you get the idea Hopkins was in the last year of his contract? Not this year, though -- Carson Wentz blows away the field in the first two categories and scores some points in the third, and is the clear and obvious All-KCW Quarterback for 2020. Easterby is now the team's Executive Vice President of Football Operations. Mercilus has long been paid like an elite edge rusher, but he has always been an ancillary piece: a player who is just good enough to take advantage of the extra attention being devoted to J.J. Watt. The Broncos offense looked the best when trailing big, forcing them to throw out the regular playbook and run an up-tempo offense, yet Shurmur never tried to bring any of that late-game philosophy to his general offensive strategy. The NFC Championship Game only emphasized the difference another pair of reliable hands could have made. Bryan: LeShaun Sims should be a nickel or dime package player, and not the player with the most targets for Cincinnati's defense. Thomas then attempted to defend himself on Instagram, which riled up members of the Ravens Leadership Council, a group of veterans within the team considered to be the team leaders. They really frame the argument the way it deserves, yannow? It would take a minor miracle for him not to win at this point. Earl is also a co-founder Virtual Dining Concepts, a sort of ghost kitchen restaurant group responsible for Flavortown Kitchen, as well as a handful of other celebrity-branded delivery restaurants such ⦠Sometimes, it's difficult to weigh all the different categories to come up with one winner. Jadeveon Clowney also had no sacks on a big contract, but he at least managed 19 tackles and six pressures, and he avoided the off-field headaches that peppered Beasley's time in Nashville. When these are his two standout plays, it's easy to see why. On September 11, he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, reportedly recording over 13 times the state limit on his breathalyzer while doing "donuts" in a traffic intersection. It would be very strange to see Green at the bottom of Bengals receiving records, considering his years of success for the franchise; he now has both the second-best and second-worst receiving years in franchise history, a double no other player can match. aka Big Hairy Andy At Emmy Squared we strive to work with high quality and local products whenever available. It's legitimately difficult to think of a way an owner could screw this situation up more, short of selling everything and relocating to London overnight. By Odin, just make everything inside the 40 four down territory, and go for two after every touchdown! Higgins had over 900 yards catching passes from Brandon Allen and Ryan Finley for six games. Hopefully, that is a result of the difficult circumstances and transition in 2020, and he will improve with a full offseason in 2021. 1 receivers, No. He wasn't the worst back on the Texans -- that dubious honor goes to namesake Duke -- but David Johnson finished No. His pressure rate of 8.1% was seventh-worst among primary edge rushers, and he failed to bat down even a single pass. If you prefer your pick to represent terrible performance on the field, you'll prefer the other Johnson from the Texans backfield. I'm sorry. For the Eagles, Wentz's cap hit isn't terrible for a quarterback, mind you: it's only really going to be on the high side in 2021/2022. However, by losing so many of his players, he has left the door open for Aaron to have a come-from-behind victory. That trade hurt the Texans franchise in so many ways, we still haven't seen the full ramifications yet as the Deshaun Watson situation rumbles on. But instead, we're going to go back to Matt LaFleur's field goal decision, which we talked about a bit above. Especially regarding Easterby? Calling Q! Thanks a bunch Earl for documenting your experiences. Javon Wims is pretty stupid though,.... To me it's hilarious that Gardner-Johnson just stands there waiting for him to continue knowing that the ref is watching - when the drive earlier he had knocked Wims mouth guard out. After an 0-13 start, Gase actually managed to coach his way to two wins in New York's last three games, costing them the top draft pick and Trevor Lawrence. While his cap hit in 2020 wasn't anything particularly egregious, it balloons to nearly $35 million for next season and remains over $30 million the rest of the way. They then placed him on the reserve/non football illness list on December 9. that they'd be kicking a field goal on fourth down. Calling Q! 31 NFL franchises had plenty of time to work out how much they thought DeAndre, and his next-contract requirements, was worth to them. At the very least, the quarterback and head coach were not on the same page. He was well on pace to at least break the Eagles' record of -962, set by Bobby Hoying in 1998, and had an outside chance at 2018 Josh Rosen's low-water mark of -1,145 before being benched late in the year. He also was less of a factor in the run game; Ertz is, in theory, the better blocker. Whether by underperforming a massive contract or a high draft pick, blowing games directly by their mistakes, or simply being very bad, very consistently, there are many ways to become immortalized as a member of one of these select groups. He had only four tackles for a loss and eight defeats. Good luck getting anyone else to accept that contract, considering everything we wrote above about, y'know, one of the worst seasons in NFL history. However, slightly adjust the parameters above from 20 run plays to either 10 tackles or 100 snaps on run defense, and Johnson no longer has the worst average tackle depth of any defensive tackle. Among linebackers with at least 20 pass targets, only Danny Trevathan allowed more than Cunningham's 9.7 yards per target. Only one team joined the Vikings in allowing more than 5.0 yards per carry on carries marked mid/guard: the division-rival Detroit Lions. In that announcement, Cal McNair mentioned that the Texans had already been operating that way for most of the previous eight months. OBJ who was coming off an injury went for a first rounder +. The Titans struggled to generate pressure all season, recording a league-low 14 sacks. Compounding matters, the Texans had the second-worst defensive DVOA against tight ends, the primary coverage responsibility of the modern linebacker. Bryan: Jaleel Johnson is a pure stat pick. Shrimp Po’ Boy The nadir was that Buccaneers game, in which Bailey went 0-for-4 on three field goals and an extra point at Raymond James Stadium. Cunningham had problems with misdirection and run fits all season, as demonstrated by his starring role in this Derrick Henry 94-yard touchdown. I have my appointment with the Spanish Consulate January 2, 2020 for non-lucrative visa! The team Beasley then joined, Las Vegas, finished second-last with just 15 sacks. We cannot and dare not draw firm conclusions while there's a lawsuit involved, so we're steering well clear. With Andrew winning Double Survival, and my victory in the Lock, I suppose the Prop Bets will decide the better picker for 2020 -- so we'll just have to see which of us has a better Weeknd. Find antiques & collectibles, real estate, commercial liquidations, and more. Most observers expected the Buccaneers to try a quick pass toward the sideline to hopefully shorten Ryan Succop's potential field goal attempt. In April, 2019, McNair hired "character development coach" and former youth pastor Jack Easterby away from the Patriots to work in the Texans' player personnel department. The Texans have an aging, expensive roster and no premium draft picks to restock it. DeAndrew Hopkins went for a 2nd rounder and someone the Cardinals were trying to salary dump. Ertz hit the bottom by our stats; catching fewer than half your passes and averaging fewer than 10 yards per reception is the kind of low-ceiling, low-floor performance that gets you noticed 'round these parts. We will craft our own soups and sauces from scratch. While it's far from a sure thing, I'm fine trusting Rodgers's judgement that he wouldn't have made the end zone had he scrambled on third down. In October, the team dismissed O'Brien and appointed Easterby as interim GM. You'd expect a $12.5-million player to be more than a little better than a glorified sixth offensive lineman. He had worse DYAR on a per start basis and got cut after just reclaiming his starting job by violating COVID protocols while celebrating getting his job back. So excited. That's not to say that no one managed to turn off-field disasters into on-field pain -- see the entire Denver Broncos quarterback room not masking, forcing practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton to start a game at quarterback, or the Las Vegas Raiders and New Orleans Saints breaking enough COVID rules to cause their teams to forfeit draft picks -- but for the most part, this year's roster has more on-field lowlights than usual. So where is the hate actually coming from? In order from closest to furthest behind, we have: For those who just want to do well, and don't care about necessarily winning, here are the top five: Green Bay's wide receivers were a problem all year, for a variety of reasons. The Packers' comfort is also found in their likely league-MVP quarterback: in his second year under Matt LaFleur, Aaron Rodgers had the second-highest passing DYAR of his career, and his highest since 2011.
