Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr chase tell AlbertBreer about the story behind the coolest look in Week 6 in this week’s Ten Takeaways
Joe Burrow wearing Ja’Marr Chase’s LSU jersey to the Superdome was the coolest look of Week 6—and both ex-Tigers backed all of it up.
Into the third quarter, Burrow and the receivers started to connect underneath, with Burrow setting those guys up to make plays, and ultimately setting the defense up for a thread-the-needle, 15-yard touchdown throw to the post to Chase. “I just made a play with my feet,” Chase said. “Me and Joe were on the same page with the back-shoulder, so that worked out perfectly.”, the Bengals are back to .500 at 3–3.
Along the way, a very real identity has been forged through a creative run game built behind, as Smith said, a talented offensive line full of high draft picks. “We believe in those guys,” Smith said. “[Caleb] Huntley is a guy that we had in our program, was on the practice squad and liked him coming out of Ball State. A lot of these guys, it’s a big transition from different programs, and I love the fact that guys that can be on our practice squad. Or you have guys like Tyler Allgeier. I loved his tape at BYU; I thought he was a really efficient player who kind of just fits our culture.
On the Patriots’ first possession, Zappe converted a third-and-7, third-and-9, another third-and-7, then threw a touchdown pass in a scramble situation on a third-and-goal from the 1 to Hunter Henry—only to have that one called off because of illegal touching after Henry had stepped out of bounds and come back into play earlier. Oh, and two of those third downs were converted after penalties on the offense, which shows poise on the young quarterback’s part to dig himself out of a hole.
Thing is, though, the difference between the two physically isn’t cavernous. So what Bill Belichick has now is the chance to. Where Jones freelanced and turned the ball over a little early in the year, Belichick can point to Zappe as an example of what happens when a young quarterback follows the plan. And the hope would be with the Patriots at 3–3, everyone would benefit from going through all this.
“I’m not attacking anything," Rodgers continued. “I just think that based on how we’ve played the last two weeks, it’s going to be in our best interests to simplify things for everybody—for the line, for the backs, for the receivers, especially with [Randall Cobb’s] injury. Just simplify some things, and maybe that’ll help us get back on track.”
He’s there now, which means this is a critical point for him. What I like, though, is how up front he’s been handling a very weird, different quarterback situation, with Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater coming out of the concussion protocol this weekend, and rookie Skylar Thompson starting for him before going down with a thumb injury against the Vikings.
Offensive line coach Kevin Carberry is one of the most important people in the Rams’ building right nowWith left tackle Joe Noteboom, Andrew Whitworth’s successor, now likely out for the season, the Rams arescratching in the trenches. Second-year undrafted free agent Alaric Jackson will take over Noteboom’s spot, moving over from guard. Jackson, of course, got on the field at guard only after David Edwards, Coleman Shelton and Logan Bruss got hurt. Center Brian Allen’s been banged up, too.
None of it matters as long as Snyder owns the team. He’s done more damage to his franchise and its brand than any in American sports history. The coaches and players who’ve been through there don’t like him. And he’s been accused of horrible things in the workplace, fostering a culture that led to others being accused of the same things.
• The Panthers would listen to trade offers for Christian McCaffrey and Shaq Thompson. Trading McCaffrey would be a little complicated because of the position he plays, and his contract. And on the 28-year-old Thompson, he’s a different, versatile linebacker, but there are high-mileage questions on him, too.
