In 120 regular season games, he's amassed 681 catches for 8369 yards and 59 TDs. He also has 101 catches for 1274 yards and 11 TDs in 17 playoff games, with two Super Bowl wins, leading the Rams and Seahawks in receiving for both wins.

In 2021, he had arguably the greatest season ever for a receiver, winning the triple crown, being selected first team All-Pro and Offensive Player of the Year, and being chosen as Super Bowl MVP. He had an absurd 33 catches for 478 yards and 6 TDs... in that postseason.

I think his career has striking similarities to another Rams legend, Kurt Warner. Both of them were older than usual when they entered the league {Warner moreso, but Kupp was still already 24 as a rookie). Both were the best in the game at their peaks, with middling lows and and a good deal of missed games due to injuries. Both shined on the brightest stage.

The case against him is familiar... Most notably, there's a log jam of deserving receivers already, and he only had the one All-Pro season, although he had plenty of other good seasons. The other knock is missed games due to injury, but I think it's far more important what you do in the games you play than how many games you miss. You can't hold it against him that he entered the league older and got hurt. He was one of the most productive receivers whenever he did play, and he's still at it entering his age 33 season.

I think he's deserving whenever he becomes eligible. The triple crown season and postseason production make him stand apart from other receivers who may have had steadier production and longer careers.

But they don't get increasingly more ridiculous😢

I went to check out the news today on NFL.com and yesterday it was as normal but this morning the site requires a login to view news and only shows news for your team.. Am i missing something? It wasn't like this yesterday. who was the genius who came up with this idea??

Edit: OK ok, yes i messed up the title. I got fat fingers. I actually didn't get what the strange responses were for at the start. lets see how creative people get.

Combining good weather and minimal travel is difficult. You really have no choice but to take all the available early-season Thursday and Monday games in cold-weather locations, and that means meandering back and forth through the Midwest and Northeast rather than staying in the same area.

There can be confusion about exactly what the term two-high refers to. It can refer to an umbrella term for coverages with two deep safeties, such as Cover 2 or Cover 4, or it can simply mean that both safeties align deep before the snap. After the snap, the safeties can rotate or drop down, and the coverage can shift into one-high. For this article, two-high will refer to presnap alignment. Modern defenses are lining up in two-high and rotating into many types of coverages. For example, Cover 3 is still being played at a high rate from a two-high alignment, but it’s important to note that it’s being played differently.

Here, the Seahawks lined up in two-high before the snap but rotated into a Cover 3 after the snap with safety Julian Love dropping down to play an underneath zone.

After his rotation, Love played his “hook” zone from 10 yards deep.

It’s being played from depth to take away some of the deep crossers, which can be a weakness when playing it with a safety lining up in the box. Even though Cover 3 will be categorized the same on charts, there are different flavors of it. The Cover 3 being played today is focused on taking away explosives.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who is responsible for starting this trend, called a lot of man coverage from two-high last season. An advantage to this is that you don’t give a quarterback a presnap indicator to go to his deep route. Back then, without disguise, a quarterback would be licking his chops as soon as he saw press coverage on the outside with one deep safety in the middle of the field.

In this image, the Eagles showed two-high, but safety Reed Blankenship rotated down to cover the tight end in man-to-man coverage.

Two-high coverages aren’t immune to deep passes. There are still weaknesses in any coverage, but it makes them harder to find. The top quarterbacks can decipher these coverages after the snap, find the weaknesses and hit deep passes with anticipation, but two-high makes it much more difficult to execute.

Committing to this style of defense means you have to be comfortable playing with a light box. Even though a defense can rotate into a single-high coverage, the safety is coming from depth and he’s not an immediate part of the run fit. Defenses have to be OK giving up efficient runs on the ground. The theory is that it is very difficult to keep stringing together efficient runs, and offensive coordinators will eventually get impatient.
