When someone who comes in, connects the dots for you, and suddenly everything makes sense. 👇

From a reductionist lens, energy and direction are the two factors I care about. Reducing the throw to its two real outputs: how much energy goes into the ball, and where it's going. This an outcome frame, not a mechanical frame. @ben_baggett

Chicago’s early down play action rate was 24% in 2024, which ranked #30. Johnson increased it to 44% in 2025 (#2). Chicago’s pre-snap motion rate was 47% in 2024, which ranked #20. Johnson increased it to 61% in 2025 (#7). Chicago’s shotgun rate was 71% in 2024, which ranked #16. Johnson dropped it to 52% in 2025 (#28). Chicago’s 11 personnel usage was 72% in 2024, which ranked #7. Johnson dropped it to 52% in 2025 (#23). And Chicago’s 11 personnel usage in 2024 rarely diverged week to week. From 56% at its lowest to 85% at its high point. Defenses generally knew what they were getting with the Bears offense. In 2025, Johnson was using 90% 11 personnel in one game. Another week, it was 17%. He had three weeks below 35% 11 personnel and two weeks over 70%. Always adjusting and tinkering and trying to stay unpredictable.

To generate the maximum torque, you must be securely anchored. As the backside unwinds from a maximal stretch, the head, off-arm, and front side leg all stabilize.

To the wiggle monsters and lateral drill artists—this is the non-negotiable foundation before any COD work: The mentality AND the technical ability to attack vertically with full commitment. No vertical threat = no respect = no space to wiggle. Get violent north-south first.

@rmcgill25 Yes certainly nuances between the two deliveries. I’ve observed it also with 3B/SS who have similar time constraint/velocity demands as QBs.

Watch where the back foot trends; beginning with a turn then shifting to a torque. The throwing arm syncs with this action by drawing back to a stretch, then cycling around to release.

Former NFL QB Davis Webb. Observe the action of the back foot. It doesn’t turn toward the target; instead, it snaps backward, establishing an anchor that generates torque, which then travels up the chain.

Shanahan knew they were going to be in Cover-2 so he had this OTB-Dig combo to conflict the pole-runner (MLB). He can run deep and cut off the dig but he’d have to void the underneath middle and Purdy would just split the SAM and WLB to Tonges. Quick read and layering

Never apologize for a WIN…. Even if you have an URFA starting at quarterback

Teams that have been eliminated from the playoffs should show slightly more humility when they win a game with 3 net passing yards.

Joe Brady weighs in on Pure Progressions... "I just think that defenses are doing such a great job nowadays of so many things look like it is pre-snap and if you live in a progression read - you can just work through it and not care about what it is going to look like post-snap."

People that think QB’s having mostly pure progression reads because they can’t handle coverages based options need to listen to this. It’s IMPOSSIBLE nowadays to figure out pre-snap what coverage a defense is in…hence pure progression.

If you want to hear about pure progression and the role it plays in todays football, KOC talks about it here starting about the 7:30 mark. I answered a question earlier today about my experience in the “pure progression vs coverage based progressions” earlier today and his explanations are great ⬇️ x.com/luke_mccown/st…
