Just an open page for me to drop notes/ideas/things I'm hearing/seeing/working on or just caffeinated or lack of sleep thoughts on football items.
10/20 MON
-- Today’s Agenda…
(7:28amET)
MNF 2x...the final MNF doubleheader of 2025. TB at DET 7pmET, which may be a combined 100+ points scored and HOU at SEA 10pmET (likely the first game I do not watch all the way through live, but we’ll see how the old stamina is doing).
Week 7 TNF Game Report always leads off our week...publishes around midday.
My 7-5pmET is working on the Week 7 Executive Report from Sunday...will publish 6-8pmET.
My MNF 2x betting overview and bets will publish ahead of the games...as we wait to see whether Evans and Egbuka are active.
*NON-Football news…Amazon AWS web services is under an attack/is down right now, so some major sites or Apps are down across the world…including Ring Video Door Bell App. FYI…you can access from the web just not the App (as of the last few hours). So, for those who have a routine in the am getting up or leaving out, FYI. All of which I had to learn to deal with this morning.
-- Injury Watch Monday (better info will hit all throughout the day on most of these)...
Mike Evans likely to play...Emeka Egbuka a longshot. The race for Johnson (Kam) & Johnson (Tez) and Shepard may have been all in vain for last week’s waivers.
Jayden Daniels looks like either a knee injury or some theorize a hamstring. Almost for sure one week out but up to 3-4+ weeks out is very much on the table.
Michael Penix possible right knee MCL sprain late in the SNF game...he may be hobbled for Week 8 or miss a week.
Darren Waller pec injury...possible week-to-week up to ‘season over’.
Breece Hall...potential high ankle sprain
Bryce Young...ankle sprain, day-to-day/week-to-week.
Kendre Miller...left game after one play, unsure situation.
Brian Thomas Jr...left game late, unsure issue.
Jeffrey Simmons...hamstring
Sauce Gardner...concussion watch
-- The QB controversy I did NOT see coming this week...
Possible QB changes this week due to injury or chaos:
Kirk Cousins might have to start for a week.
Andy Dalton might have to start for a week.
Marcus Mariota might be starting for 1-4 weeks.
Tyrod or Fields?
Wentz or JJM?
Rattler or Shough?
Geno or Pickett?
Mac or Purdy?
Brissett or Kyler?
Meanwhile...Joe Flacco is totally locked in!
-- OUCH...

-- ADMIN ITEM: Anyone who may have offered to write/tryout to scout or write from my open door invitation on my medical announcement post this past Friday: I got so many emails of support that it will take me a week+ to answer them all, so if you had an interest in trial writing/reporting...send me a separate email with an obvious subject/title so I see it. I don’t want you to be ignored. Thank you!
*Just making sure everyone catches my announcement from last week, because it caught some by surprise Sunday on the Sit-Start Show who missed it...
