In 2024 Jerod Mayo ranked dead last in @ftnfantasy.bsky.socialβs coaching aggressiveness index.
The teams in the championship game feature the coaches ranked:
2nd McDermott
7th Sirianni
15th Quinn
29th Reid
Entering 2023 Vrabel was on the best:
The NFL record for career tackles by a safety belongs to Super Bowl champion Lawyer Milloy with 1,439.
A key member of the teams that ignited the Patriots Dynasty, dating back to the 1996 AFC Champions, and one of my all-time favorite players.

One area for concern for Drake Maye next year, Pressure-to-sack ratio. This is something which is often stable year:year, and as you can see something rookies often struggle with.
Hopefully this can improve for Drake with improved OL play, better pocket manipulation, and more quick wins from his WR

Absolutely wild! So much running in the 70s.
Gonna sneak some 1978 DVOA fun onto your quiet Xmas Eve feed.
The No. 1 offense of 1978 by DVOA is the Patriots, but they were only fourth passing the ball. They were No. 1 running and ran the ball an astonishing 671 times that season! It's the third highest total ever after 77 OAK and 84 CHI.

Using the Week 11 CB drop you gave I made a rough outline for a CB value stat, in the same vein as the WR Route DYAR as CB Value (Over average) and VAR (Value above Replacement)
Not sure how predictive it is, but looks fun for a first draft:
Patriots the only team to do it twice and win both times.
Bookending the dynasty were definitely the scrappiest squads.
I... am clearly blind

This debate famously happened for the Bengals after they drafted Burrow.
I think our OL is worse than the Bengals in 2020, but not drastically so. There's also no "sure thing" to draft, but I'm open to anyone at either WR/OL; actually acquiring blue chip talent seems the more pressing isue.
