Quick Hits with Blake Pace

Blake kick's off today's show discussing how NFL defenses have adapted to the recent wave of offensive play-calling and how certain teams have already begun to counter. Afterward he breaks down how he deciphers good vs. fake good teams in the NFL and goes division by division tiering each team in the league.

Following the third consecutive lackluster showing from the Pittsburgh offense, Blake dives into their remaining schedule and discusses when this season, if ever, would make sense to bring Kenny Pickett into the fold. Blake then looks ahead to some of his favorite plays for the Week 3 slate, including the Lions and their ability to keep pace with the Viking's offense, Las Vegas's ability to lay a smackdown on Tennessee and the title-contending, Jimmy G-led 49ers taking care of a premature Broncos team.

Following the Bills 41-7 Monday Night victory over the Titans, Blake breaks down their ability to find offensive success at every level of the football field and how they could approach territory of being the most efficient offense in league history. He then floats around the two paths for the 2022 Indianapolis Colts — resurrecting their season as they have the last four years, or deciding to bottom out and begin 2023 with a new head coach and rookie quarterback. Blake wraps things up with a handful of early betting plays for the Week 3 slate.

Recapping his thoughts on Thursday Night Football, Blake stresses the depth and efficiency of this Chiefs offense compared to years past and how, despite not hitting the panic button yet, the Chargers would benefit from an offensive-minded head coach in the long run.

After squeaking out a narrow victory over Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos, Pete Carroll and the Seahawks get some well-deserved credit from Blake as he ties in the Giants and Steelers wins in similar fashion.
