Hahaha honestly we have the #3 PK #3PK and the best adjusted numbers 5v5 I dare say EVERYTHING is our bread and butter

The issue is it disrupts our flow, when we take stupid avoidable penalties. 5v5 our grind game just builds and builds the pressure and we start to force mistakes.

Kuz is usually 44% in the faceoff dot overall. I was impressed with that aspect of his game. He quickly fell into the trap of new players in our system though. Especially with not having played in a while.
 

You can take any of the top scorers in the league and put them into our system and they would look pedestrian for a while in their overall play.

I'm a little confused what you mean here, he was 55% at the dot had a couple of shots (one whiff he deff wants back) In 13 minutes I thought he looked pretty good for being his first game in a few months and being on a new team.

What trap do you mean?

I’m saying his career average is 44% in the faceoff dot. 44.1 or something so to see him break that 50% mark in his first game after not having played for a month and a half essentially is good thing to see. Though I do think jersey is deficient in the dot. We’ll see once we get NY and the panthers.

Oh gotcha I hadn't checked his % before reading your post so I was a bit confused....

 

He played with great effort and responsibility I saw him getting back on the backcheck.

He was cheating zone defense a lot. Kept seeing him try to go house but he’ll figure it out.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
