Sat from the well

Long first. Shorts are cuts. Every number is cited. Empty if the well is empty.

More throws under pressure, fewer of them caught. The sacks left. The 40% stayed.
Caleb Williams completed 40% of his pressured throws in 2025, down from 44.1%, on 205 attempts instead of 145. The rest of his season moved the other way. Both are true, and they do not cancel.

AFC East · 2026-08-04 · Nate Tice, Matt Harmon
- Buffalo Bills
  They promoted Joe Brady from OC to head coach and traded for D.J. Moore but Josh Allen is still the quarterback therefore the walk is Brady’s next step, not a new QB. A new defensive coordinator came in from Denver. 10.5 is the bar.
  McDermott’s four-down zone left with him but the new coordinator is from Denver therefore how this defense plays is the second walk, not a second quarterback.
  Nate Tice / Matt Harmon · Football 301 AFC East · 00:17:49
- New England Patriots
  They signed Romeo Dobbs but Christian Barmore is gone to Washington therefore the first full year of this defensive coordinator is the walk. 9.5 is the bar.
  Dobbs is an add but Barmore is gone to Washington therefore the front is the walk, not a new receiver.
  Nate Tice / Matt Harmon · Football 301 AFC East · 00:43:04
- Miami Dolphins
  Both hosts make Malik Willis the x-factor but Harmon’s x-factor is the offensive line therefore this club is built to pick early. Captions put them at 4 wins vs a 4.5 market — that is the bar, not a dunk.
  Harmon put the offensive line up as his x-factor. Willis is the other host’s. The club is not one player.
  Nate Tice / Matt Harmon · Football 301 AFC East · 01:20:03
- New York Jets
  Frank Reich is the OC and Geno Smith is the quarterback but the x-factor they named is the rookie-contract defense therefore Aaron Glenn’s seat is the story. Captions: 5 / 5–12 vs 5.5.
  They asked how many wins Glenn needs to keep the job. The number they floated was seven. The market bar is 5.5. Those are not the same sentence.
  Nate Tice / Matt Harmon · Football 301 AFC East · 01:45:53
AFC West · 2026-08-06 · Nate Tice, Hayden Winks
- Denver Broncos
  Vance Joseph still calls the defense but they lost John Franklin-Myers therefore the interior has to replace that rush. 12 vs 9.5 is already the bar.
  Both hosts named Jonah Coleman as the spotlight but Franklin-Myers is gone therefore the rush has to come from inside now.
  Nate Tice / Hayden Winks · Football 301 AFC West · 00:22:22
- Los Angeles Chargers
  Mike McDaniel is the new offensive coordinator but they also hired a new defensive coordinator therefore the walk is two new play-callers, not one skill player. 11 vs 9.5 is the bar.
  They already hit Ladd as a spotlight. The coordinators are still the walk. A skill name is not a second staff.
  Nate Tice / Hayden Winks · Football 301 AFC West · 00:53:47
- Kansas City Chiefs
  Spagnuolo is still the defensive coordinator but the spotlight they named is Nohl Williams therefore the secondary has to step up. Mahomes’ health is the x-factor they would not leave off. 9 is the bar.
  If Mahomes is not himself, they said the year gets fragile. Williams stepping up at corner does not replace that.
  Nate Tice / Hayden Winks · Football 301 AFC West · 01:15:40
- Las Vegas Raiders
  Clint Kubiak is the new head coach in place of Pete Carroll but Max Crosby is still the defense therefore year one of that staff is the walk. 6 vs 5.5 is the bar.
  The new defensive coordinator is closer to Crosby, they said. Year one of Kubiak is still the head-coach walk. Two staffs, one roster.
  Nate Tice / Hayden Winks · Football 301 AFC West · 01:32:43
NFC East · 2026-08-11 · Nate Tice, Matt Harmon
- Philadelphia Eagles
  They hired Sean Mannion from Green Bay as offensive coordinator but Jeff Stoutland stepped aside therefore Mannion as a first-time play-caller is the x-factor they named. 10 vs 10.5 is the bar.
  Stoutland was the run-game coordinator as well as the line coach. He is no longer with the team. Mannion inherits that room as a first-time caller.
  Nate Tice / Matt Harmon · Football 301 NFC East · 00:06:03
- Dallas Cowboys
  Clayton Adams stays as offensive coordinator but they hired Christian Parker from the Eagles therefore the defense is the new walk. 12 vs 9.5 is the bar.
  Same line coach and the same OC, Clayton Adams, but Parker is the new hire on defense therefore that’s the walk.
  Nate Tice / Matt Harmon · Football 301 NFC East · 00:37:41
- Washington Commanders
  They promoted David Blough to offensive coordinator but Brandon Coleman is the x-factor they named therefore the offensive line swing is the story. 7–10 vs 7.5 is the bar.
  They signed Chaisson from New England but Coleman is still the x-factor they named therefore the line swing is the walk, not an edge slogan.
  Nate Tice / Matt Harmon · Football 301 NFC East · 01:18:08
- New York Giants
  They hired John Harbaugh but Matt Nagy is the offensive coordinator and Denard Wilson is the new defensive coordinator therefore the staff is the walk, not a single star. 7.5 is the bar.
  Denard Wilson is the new defensive coordinator — the former Titans DC, the second Giants hire from that tree they mentioned. Harbaugh is the headliner; this is the other half of the staff.
  Nate Tice / Matt Harmon · Football 301 NFC East · 01:31:39
NFC South · 2026-08-13 · Nate Tice, Josh Norris
- Carolina Panthers
  Canales gave up the calls to Idzik but this team has opened 0–2 every year since 2021 therefore the season is whether November’s downfield version shows up in September. X-factor is still Bryce’s verticality in a contract year. Win total sits vs 7.5 — that is a bar, not the story.
  Young’s first throw of two season openers was an interception, both over the middle. That is n = 2, not a vibe. The start-fast question is the same beat as Idzik taking the calls.
  Josh Norris · Football 301 NFC South · 00:39:13
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  Baker is still the starter but Tice says he drops from about a top-10 quarterback to a bottom-10 one without Mike Evans therefore Evans is the 2026 x-factor, not a new scheme. 9–8 vs 8.5 is the bar.
  From week 9 of 2025 Tice has Baker 27th in INT rate with the seventh-lowest pressure rate. Attempt count for that split is empty. The Evans subtraction is still the x-factor; this is the window they used.
  Nate Tice · Football 301 NFC South · 00:46:21
- New Orleans Saints
  They can sit near .500 but Tice’s x-factor is whether the offensive line actually holds therefore 9–8 vs 7.5 only matters if that line plays to its ceiling.
  They have Week 18 against Tampa as the tiebreaker game. That only matters if the line lets them stay in the 9–8 conversation.
  Josh Norris · Football 301 NFC South · 01:30:25
- Atlanta Falcons
  This is an evaluation year but the market still sits 6.5 therefore both hosts at 4–13 is the honest bar, not a rebuild slogan.
  Evaluation year is the frame they used. Four-and-thirteen vs 6.5 is the fade. It is not a promise that the year produces a quarterback.

AFC South · 2026-08-18 · Nate Tice, Matt Harmon
- Jacksonville Jaguars
  Coen still calls it in year two but they remade the offense around Jakobi Meyers therefore the walk is the trenches, not a new quarterback. Harmon’s x-factor is O-line and D-line generating heat. Tice 11–6; Harmon takes the over at 10.5. They called an 8.5 line disrespectful.
  Nate Tice / Matt Harmon · Football 301 AFC South · 00:46:03
- Houston Texans
  Nick Caley still calls the offense but they ranked 31st in rushing success rate since Stroud was drafted in 2023 therefore Harmon’s x-factor is the run game and Tice’s is Caley tying the room together. Tice 12; Harmon over 10.5. Both pick Houston to win the division.
  Nate Tice / Matt Harmon · Football 301 AFC South · 01:06:22
- Indianapolis Colts
  They brought Jones back after the first-half heater but Pierce is hurt and they signed Keenan Allen therefore the walk is whether last year’s peak returns. Harmon’s x-factor is Sauce Gardner; Tice’s is the pass rush. Harmon 8 vs 8.5; Tice 9 and no playoffs.
  Nate Tice / Matt Harmon · Football 301 AFC South · 01:24:07
- Tennessee Titans
  Saleh is the new head coach and Daboll calls the offense but Harmon’s x-factor is still the offensive line therefore Cam Ward is not the gimme. Harmon under 6.5; Tice 5–12. Both under.
