There will be some clips that we use, both good and bad. The big thing: I think we had nine turnovers, and seven of them became scoring chances the other way. This is not a team you can do that against - or against any team, really. We didn't manage the puck very well, especially in that second period. It was back a few games, so that is something that we've talked a lot about and worked on.

As an initial stab, you might have guessed that since adopting the power-oriented offensive approach in 2019, the Braves have not been much for accumulating stolen bases. That's fairly intuitive, but unfortunately, it gets somewhat upended by reality. The Braves finished just inside the top ten in team stolen bases in 2018, and then again in 2019. 2020 and 2021 were low-steal years,

Post-ups were once a staple of plodding, inside-out offenses across the league, but by 2019, they'd been declining in frequency for years. Yet that didn't stop the TV commentators that night from wondering why Kristaps Porzingis wasn't playing with his back to the basket more, in the long tradition of elite NBA big men.

The Eagles are due a loss. A bad loss. They've been outgained in eight of their games. The biggest plays AJ Brown has made this year have been on social media. The head vibes coach has seen two players retire shortly after joining the team, and they dragged another guy out of retirement to help the locker room vibes. Two weeks ago in a close prime time game they pooped their pants in late game management, and then the next week they did it again.

If I am the Cowboys, if they get to the 50-yard line, I go for it nearly every single time, I don't even care. You have to make the Eagles offense beat you and not the defense. Make Jalen Hurts throw the football, something that clearly he hasn't done this year because A.J Brown seems like he hates playing with them because he is not getting the ball enough.

The Florida Gators are turning to Steve Spurrier to help fix the team's floundering offense. Steve Spurrier Jr., anyway. Interim coach Billy Gonzales said Wednesday the younger Spurrier, who was hired as an offensive analyst earlier this year, will be more involved with quarterback DJ Lagway when the Gators (3-4, 2-2 SEC) play No. 5 Georgia (6-1, 4-1) in Jacksonville on Nov. 1.

Offense, meanwhile, involves anticipating needs and planning for various scenarios. Defense looks like sitting still. Defense looks like reacting to rates, [and it] looks like expanding and contracting to every market term. So we're not necessarily just in a turbulent market right now. Our market and our industry are evolving faster than any of us can really reorganize our orgs to keep up. So what offense looks like is trying to anticipate those needs and being ready for anything, Snow said.

"Primarily we're focused on bats in the draft. When it comes to trades, we'll try to pry the best talent that we have. It could be pitching, it could be position players. But going into it, we're looking to improve our offense long-term."

Our job, especially as a coach, is to play to the strengths of your players. We have our foundation things that don't change, but whether you run or pass...

We could breathe a sigh of relief/disbelief. That was therapeutic, Mike Krukow's apt words.

"Sometimes, when you're a little stagnant, you change things up," Melvin said, emphasizing the need for a shake-up to boost performance after a tough stretch.
