Excellent breakdown. Thanks for sharing!

Best line “this is just high level functioning nfl offense, you’re welcome Pittsburgh there you go”. lol the bad man is gone

I’m glad KP improved this week. 278 yards and 72% completion is basically average stats with good completion percentage and that’s a big improvement from where he was earlier this season which was basically “Do you even belong in the league” level of play.

My hope is he continues to put up this style of game moving forward and builds off of it by adding in games with multiple TD passes. The Diontae drop/no-challenge wasn’t on him but I want to see a guy who can go out there and drop at least 2 TDs a game and no INTs with good volume. That would be enough to not move on from him in my eyes and give him another year.

If he surpassed that mark and started putting up “he’s him” games like 300 and 3 TDs or something like that then that would be amazing. We could actually do something with that level of play imo.

I now actually look forward to JT reviewing our games, and I agree with you all, this is easily the best film review channel I am aware of. One thing that isn’t quantifiable that I think we are already seeing the benefits of is confidence. Kenny played with much more confidence. To start with confidence in the play calls, then confidence in his receivers, which eventually all translates into confidence in himself.

I played in nothing remotely as high level as the NFL, but I did get paid to play hockey at one point (goalie). I can safely tell you that when you’re feeling confident (in your team, in the scheme, especially in yourself) you play light years better. You make far fewer mistakes and the ones you do don’t drag you down. I suspect that lack of confidence was the cause of Picket’s regression and subsequent, almost instant, improvement. If so it will build on itself and we’re in for some much brighter days ahead.

Thought it was interesting what he said on the DJ “not” touchdown. I thought it was a great throw from Kenny at first glance, making sure the safety didn’t have a chance. But on replay you can see how DJ had to adjust and did a good job doing so. But JT’s right, Kenny had space and the throw was a bit late and behind. I still think its a catch you’ve got to expect your #1 WR to make almost always though.

(Also, an actually really nice play by the Bengals DB there even if it was “technically” a TD or whatever people are saying about the 3 footsteps)

Short summary:

Kenny showed good footwork, read the coverage well, showed anticipation and good accuracy and touch, and the play calling was the right play calling for the coverage, even when it was somewhat exotic coverage.

Some of Kenny’s passes were slightly late, slightly inaccurate, and some of the footwork is overly touchy. DJ gets rightfully called out several times (and for the second time in two weeks), especially for completely giving up on the Warren fumble.

Encourage everyone to give it a full watch, it’s a great detailed rundown from someone with a lot of football knowledge.
