@benjaminsolak.bsky.social on the Ringer NFL show today, everything you said about Drake Maye for MVP is true, and it could have been said last year for Jayden Daniels, but you did not make the "most valuable" argument for JD then. Is it just a down year? How would 2024 JD fare in this year's race?

I don't know these kids, but I know this is good for the world.

Bill is the Week 5 Jayden Daniels Rookie of the Week!

Jayden Daniels is the first player in NFL history with at least 4,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in his first 20 career games. Pretty impressive.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt and the #Commanders rushing attack faces the Chicago Bears run-defense on Monday Night Football this week.

For reference, the Bears run defense is currently;

▫️32nd for YPC allowed
▫️31st for runs of 20+ yards allowed
▫️31st for total rush yards allowed

Let's all take a moment to appreciate that we got to witness our guy Bill Croskey-Merritt make it out of committee to become a law! youtu.be/OgVKvqTItto?...

Jacory Croskey-Merritt has his first career 100 yard rushing game.

Reminder; the #Commanders have him on a 4 year 7th-round rookie contract that is worth approx $800,000 a year.

Absolute bargain value. Absolutely fantastic player.

TOUCHDOWN

The man they call 'Bill', Jacory Croskey-Merritt gets his first ever NFL touchdown!

That first cut is filthy. Bill can ball!

Jayden Daniels worst games are most QBs best games.

92% pass block win rate for rookie Josh Conerly Jr. today.

That's a great number for an NFL debut: it's above average for a tackle in general, but particularly impressive considering he was facing the Giants pass rush.

It was very telling that the commanders paid him despite the modest receiving stat line! Dude is nasty in the run game.

Ok, @craighoffman.bsky.social , it's been a few months, and you're 0-and-11 for using the word "nevertheless" correctly on the pod. Please, please just don't. If you find yourself about to say "nevertheless", just say "let alone", and you will always be right. Other than that, keep up the good work!

Welcome to the off-season! Now that I know you've read this, though, I'll only be *more* incensed if you misuse that word again. NEVERTHELESS I will like and continue to subscribe. Keep up the good work.

Terry McLaurin works on a weakness every off-season. This adverb is yours. Get at it, Craig!

In both cases, "nevertheless" is the wrong word. I would suggest "let alone" or, if you're feeling wordy, "to say nothing of"

@craighoffman.bsky.social Great pod today! Unfortunately, it was marred by more misuses of the word "nevertheless" -

2:19 It was a running joke among the media corps, nevertheless among the guys.

5:11 The roster now isn't what it's going to be at the start of the season, nevertheless week 15.

you’ve heard of the tush push, now here’s the grift lift

Also, and I say this with love- you have GOT to stop saying "nevertheless" when you mean to say "let alone". Nevertheless is basically a synonym of "however". Here's an example: "Last season, Lattimore didn't play at a pro bowl level, *LET ALONE* All Pro." Other than that, you're doing great!

@craighoffman.bsky.social mailbag request: Jayden Daniels vs Jalen Hurts. Most national pundits rank Daniels ahead of Hurts, but Eagles fans (and the occasional outlier pundit) disagree. Unless wins are suddenly a QB stat, I feel like it's JD5 by a mile, no?

Happy football Sunday!!! Hoping for a Commanders win and a good game between the Chiefs and Bills 🙏♥️💛

There's no way he included QB in that, right? Bc if we're being honest, the Eagles have better starters at most positions, but JD is *so* much better than JH. It's probably the biggest difference at any position.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

#RaiseHail

Is it silly of me to hope for positive mentions of the Commanders on your feed? I don't hold Eagles beat writers to this expectation, but I thought that aside from your Seahawks fandom, you were a neutral pundit. One milquetoast compliment for the whole weekend feels like damning by faint praise.

Re: Jayden Daniels

You know who deserves some extra love this morning? The player who caught Jayden Daniels first touchdown pass.

Trent Scott filled in admirably for Sam Cosmi.

#Hailyeah, Trent! You raised hail.
