When asked about the competition for the starting TE spot, Thomas says there is no competition.

Kendall Blanton’s position coach in college was Joe Jon Finley. Finley’s NFL playing career included stints in Detroit with Martin Mayhew, and in Carolina with Ron Rivera #HTTC

Depending on the coverage - in quarters or C4 they’re off for example — that’s true for every team. Sometimes 3 is up and 29 off. Sometimes both up. 3 sometimes plays too deep when off and allows big cushion. About playing with vision and driving on ball.

— John Keim (@john_keim) August 21, 2022

Definite plays they did. But I hear this after every game and every game I see examples of playing up. Other teams play off and stop teams. Sometimes some guys too much cushion (3). But I haven’t finished rewatching all 22 and will get back to you on this.

Jackson gives more cushion than Fuller on a consistent basis; more comfort level but often 1 yard deeper than KF. On one play that cushion hurt, but was not tested on it otherwise. Sometimes depends on route combo and he defended some downfield b/c of alignment.

Finally, I do think at times WJ gives up too much ground in this look to protect down the field. It could hurt some games, yes... Big plays came off some breakdowns -- lose contain on outside (once); KC beaten down the middle when CBs blitz; mahomes being mahomes

Much to like about Sam Howell but things to clean up too. This rep was similar to last week. Clear to see the arm to drive the ball to the deep out on a rope. However, looks odd to see four hitch steps up into the pocket on this kind of throw pic.twitter.com/Ugmo1VJPsL

Through two preseason games, opponents are 20 of 33 against Washington on third down.

Washington 6th; value up 33 percent over last year. https://t.co/oGe5gADe8y

Knowing D.C. had a dog mascot for the ‘42 championship (h/t @HurQlez for the knowledge), pairing a hog (nod to the 80s) with a boxer could be a tag team hoot for Washington. #HTTC #conceptart #fanart #sketch pic.twitter.com/XYN9CF76z7

So I’m done watching back all of Trevor Lawrence’s throws so far this preseason, and I think it’s time for people to slightly adjust their expectations for the Jags this year (in a good way).

In March, the Texans gave FB Andy Janovich a $2M signing bonus and $500,000 in guaranteed salary. On Sunday, he was released. https://t.co/tp3gtk6Spl

"Mike Gesicki... has also struggled in this new scheme. TEs must be able to block in this scheme, and that is not [his] strong suit. Will Miami potentially try to trade him?" - Rick Spielman

National Perception : Wentz is inaccurate, holds ball too long & turns it over. Matt Ryan is an upgrade.

Reality from ‘21:
Sacks: Wentz 32, Ryan 40
INT’s: Wentz 7, Ryan 12
QBR; Wentz 9th, Ryan 21st

Look, I'm not big into "revenge games" but MAN...the Commanders play the Colts on October 30th. We gotta get that one for Carson. The way Irsay has dragged this man is ridiculous. I might have to go to that one.

Wentz has been working on short, quick passes in the pre-season. Exactly what he should be doing (he’s at 6/2.40) https://t.co/EDyRLy34n4
