As the NFL's two-high shell usage levels off at about 42%, defending the play-action meta requires a 70%+ zone philosophy to cap the intermediate and force low-efficiency check-downs. This technical analysis explores why blitzing play-action results in a 51.4% offensive success rate and how modular systems prioritize the Nickel as a foundational playmaker.—Timestamps:00:00 - NFL Schedule Release and the Rookie Minicamp Context 03:34 - The Maturation of Two-High Shells: Leveling at 42% 07:32 - Zone Dominance: Why the NFL has Shifted to 72% Zone 11:37 - Personnel Trends: The Detroit Lions' Commitment to Base 12:59 - Schematic Fluidity and Five-Man Fronts 18:50 - Defending Play Action: Pittsburgh and Houston's Efficiency 31:16 - Third Down Disguise and the Fourth Down Meta 44:07 - Passive vs. Aggressive: Seattle's Cover 2 vs. Minnesota's Pressure 53:03 - Main Takeaways for 2026 Coverage Trends 57:33 - Player Development: High School to NFL Physicality—» Join Felix and Cody each Wednesday as we dive deep into the game we love!MatchQuarters is a reader-supported publication.

Send us Fan MailWe hand Watershed the keys and let Ryan Venrick run our first distillery-led blind tasting, and we learn fast that we're not as good at guessing as we think. The reveals turn into a real lesson on slow water reduction, finishing choices, and how Watershed is reshaping Ohio bourbon from the barrel up. • Ryan's career path from bottling line to blending and barrel management • Why Watershed's bourbon portfolio changed after the mash bill shift • Blind tasting format and why pairing samples exposes process differences • Apple brandy finish side-by-side with crash dilution vs slow reduction • How slow water reduction affects mouthfeel, perceived proof, and flavor • Bottled-in-bond vs toasted bourbon and what “toasted” is meant to add • Uncut Unfiltered Batch 7 reveal and why proof placement matters in tastings • Nochino finished bourbon and the labor of harvesting unripe walnuts • The elevage program and why only a small number of distilleries do it • Watershed closing the restaurant and building new on-site experiences • What's coming next: OHLQ single barrels, fall finishes, maple finale, Japan tease • Blending philosophy: start with a base then shape with “one trick pony” barrels www dot scotchyburbonboys.com for all things scotchy bourbon boys make sure you check us out we've got glenn's we've got t-shirts we've got bourbon balls and then make sure you follow us on facebook instagram youtube and axon along with apple iheart and spotify and anywhere else you listen or watch us no matter what make sure you leave good feedback become a member definitely support us in any way that you can and support the brands that we bring on like when you see these brands support them support ohio support whoever it is but because support them because good bourbon equals good friends and good times don't drink and drive drink responsibly and live your life uncut and unfiltered Crash dilute or slow reduce, can you actually taste the difference? We bring on Ryan from Watershed and hand him full control of a five-pour blind tasting built to show where Watershed has been and where their bourbon is headed. The curveball: two glasses are the exact same apple brandy finished whiskey at the exact same proof, but diluted two different ways. Once you hear what's happening in those barrels, you'll never think about proofing water the same way again.From there we work through the lineup and put names to what our palates are telling us: a core Bottled-in-Bond, a limited toasted bourbon done with a short, targeted finish, and a final punchy reveal that lands at 123 proof with Uncut Unfiltered Batch 7. Along the way we get into the real “why” behind mouthfeel, perceived heat, oak extraction, and how slow water reduction can preserve flavor compounds and create a more cohesive pour. If you love blind tastings, barrel finishes, and nerdy whiskey process talk that stays practical, this one delivers.We also zoom out to the bigger story of Ohio whiskey. Ryan shares how Watershed is building an elevage-style program, why scaling techniques like slow reduction is hard, and what's next as they invest in better visitor experiences like a blending class and a bottle-your-own option. We talk upcoming OHLQ single barrels, the fall finishing series, and why the maple finish is designed for balance, not syrup.Subscribe, share this with a bourbon friend who swears they can always call Add for SOFL If You Have GohstsSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.comThe Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world    https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

Most people accept death as the ultimate loss—Ben Sasse embraces it with humor, hope, and a profound faith that changes how we see life, death, and education. In this deeply personal yet inspiring episode, one of America's most eloquent voices shares how a terminal diagnosis sharpened his moral clarity and deepened his understanding of what truly matters.Ben Sasse, a former senator, university president, and thoughtful advocate for classical Christian education, opens up about confronting mortality with a rare combination of honesty, humor, and faith. He recounts the moments that have shaped his view on life's purpose, from reading old books at Oxford to serving in the U.S. Senate. You'll discover how his fight with cancer has transformed his approach to education—focusing on cultivating virtue, love, and friendship rather than mere career success.Also joining Ben Sasse and Jeremy Tate in the conversation is Keith Nix, who has served as the Head of School at Veritas School in Richmond, VA, since 2010.We break down:The importance of reading the Great Books to gain perspective beyond our momentHow classical Christian education aims to reorder our affections and nurture true friendshipThe vital role of intergenerational engagement in building resilient communitiesThe radical significance of the Sabbath in cultivating gratitude and humilityBen shares moving stories about friendship, faith, and the hope that sustains him through suffering. His candid reflections on mortality challenge us to make what time we have count—by loving our neighbor, pursuing truth, and living with eternal hope.This episode is perfect for educators, parents, and anyone wrestling with life's biggest questions—especially in a culture fixated on outcomes and success. If you believe education is about forming humans who love goodness and beauty, you won't want to miss this powerful conversation.00:00 Intro 01:08 A Vision for Education  03:11 Oxford & the Power of Small Seminars  06:37 Friendship and the Good Life  08:57 Family, Education, and Moving for Values  13:15 From Public School to Classical Christian Education  16:19 The Art of Rhetoric & Great Speakers  20:12 Influences of Great Orators  23:14 A Father's Discipline & Coaching  24:42 Challenges in Classical Christian Education  25:57 Core Values & Future of the Tradition  28:39 The Telos Debate (How Do You Say It?)  34:37 Education Beyond Job Training  35:30 Rethinking the Factory Model of Schooling  37:45 Family & Intergenerational Life  38:21 Friendship, Community, and Education  40:00 Social Media & Peer Segregation  42:10 Hands-On & Artistic Learning  45:10 Maturation, Responsibility, and Service  46:18 Over-Consumption & the Search for Purpose  47:18 Music, Math, and the Language of Heaven  48:48 Seminar-Based Learning  49:25 Facing Death & Living Well  49:54 Suffering, Resurrection, and Hope  50:39 Faith in the Face of Illness  53:45 Shared Loves & Deep Friendship  55:29 Community Across Generations  56:10 Humor, Death, and the Christian Life  57:09 The Hope of Final Victory  58:10 Beauty, Identity, and Creation  59:41 Gratitude, Legacy, and a Life Well Lived  01:00:11 Final Reflections & Memorable Friendship

Learn how NFL defenses are restoring chaos in the secondary by implementing weak-side vision mechanics and modular coverage rules to muddy modern offensive reads. This technical breakdown explores the transition from rigid spot-dropping to hybrid systems and features an evaluation of the elite 2026 NFL Draft safety class.—In this episode:The two-high shell is the primary vehicle for defensive “entropy,” utilizing static pre-snap alignments to mask modular coverage tools and force offensive post-snap hesitation.Secondary geometry is dictated by the functional split between the boundary corner as an elite isolation specialist and the field corner as a long-limbed space player optimized for off-ball zone coverage.Weak-side vision mechanics leverage the boundary safety as a hybrid “robber” or “backstop,” effectively marrying Cover 3 rotations with Quarters-based rules to clog the intermediate middle.The 2026 safety class is defined by high-IQ “Hash Safeties” like Caleb Downs and Dillon Thieneman, who offer the schematic utility to oscillate between deep-half, box, and nickel roles.Defensive guardrails prioritize player ownership and execution over rigid “if-then” systems, using modular rules to funnel the ball into predictable, low-percentage areas on the perimeter.—Timestamps:00:01 - Coverages as the bedrock of the defensive counterpart 01:52 - The Fangio influence vs. Mike Zimmer and Eberflus 03:43 - Historical roots: The 1989 New Orleans Saints and Mora system 05:12 - The Saban/Belichick Rip/Liz Match system 11:51 - Analyzing the 2026 Safety Class 13:56 - Why the Boundary Corner is your most important island 19:30 - Weak Side Vision Mechanics and poach safeties 23:31 - Jim Leonard's transition to the Buffalo Bills 30:30 - The waning of base Quarters in favor of "blitz coverage" tools 41:43 - Scouting Report: Caleb Downs and Dillon Thieneman48:06 - Restoring chaos through player ownership and guardrails—» Join Felix and Cody each Wednesday as we dive deep into the game we love!MatchQuarters is a reader-supported publication.

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) represents the most advanced stage of peripheral artery disease. While many patients can be treated with endovascular or surgical revascularization, a subset of individuals remain ‘no-option' candidates when conventional therapies fail or distal targets are absent. In this episode of BackTable, host Dr. Ally Baheti speaks with Dr. Mary Costantino, interventional radiologist at Advanced Vascular Centers, and Jill Sommerset, vascular technologist and Director of Clinical Education and Training at Aveera Medical, about the emerging role of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) as a potential therapy for patients with no-option CLTI. --- SYNPOSIS This episode explores where spinal cord stimulation may fit within the treatment landscape for advanced CLTI, particularly for patients who are not candidates for revascularization or deep venous arterialization (DVA). Dr. Costantino describes how interest in the therapy developed through multidisciplinary collaboration and early physiologic observations using pedal acceleration time (PAT) measured with duplex ultrasound alongside angiography. A representative case highlights immediate, setting-dependent improvements in PAT following stimulation, and the group reviews early trends from a small patient cohort suggesting improved distal perfusion in individuals with severe infrapopliteal disease. The conversation also addresses practical barriers to adoption, including site-of-service and reimbursement challenges and the difficulty of implanting permanent stimulators in patients with active wounds. Jill Sommerset adds perspective from the vascular lab, discussing ultrasound-based methods to quantify physiologic changes after DVA and how similar perfusion metrics may help evaluate spinal cord stimulation. The episode concludes with a discussion of the potential role of neuromodulation in this population and the need for larger datasets to better define its clinical impact. --- TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Introduction02:02 - Why CLTI Needs Options06:25 - First No Option Case11:06 - Trial Turns Flow On14:38 - Timing and Reimbursement19:59 - Early Results and Adoption22:45 - How Spinal Cord Stimulation Might Improve Flow26:46 - Patient Selection and Access30:24 - Treatment Algorithm and Timing32:37 - Quality of Life and Mobility37:57 - Implant Delays and Coordination39:41 - Data --- RESOURCES Paper on Maturation after DVAhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1078588426000523

In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study on "The Way of Trust and Love" and focus on Chapter 2: An Elevator for Small Children. We talk about the quiet places of discouragement, and self-reliance that keep us striving instead of surrendering. We also reflect about how radical dependence on God is not laziness, the subtle ways we resist being little before a loving Father, and how our poverty is a doorway into deeper trust. This week, we invite you to fall into the Father's arms, allow Him to pick you up, and rest in the One who delights in you.   Heather's One Thing - The Prince of Egypt Movie  Sister Miriam's One Thing - Bishop Erik Varden's Lenten Reflections to Pope Leo (I especially recommend the reflections entitled: Bernard the Idealist, God's Help, Becoming Free, and Splendour of Truth) Michelle's One Thing - Art Lectio Instagram Account   Journal Questions: Where are you feeling discouraged? Where do I experience self-reliance, codependency, or hypervigilance in my life? When in the past have I made agreements that I have to rely on myself and fix everything?  Where am I living out a pattern of childhood wounds and identities?   Discussion Questions: How have you experienced failure this Lent? When do I grasp, kick, and flail like a child in my spiritual life? When did God last remind you that you are not God? How did your heart respond to it? Where is God inviting you to embrace your littleness rather than run from it?   Quote to Ponder: "Being little means not attributing to ourselves the virtues we practice, or believing ourselves capable of anything, but recognizing that God places this treasure in the hands of His little child so that she can use it when she needs it; but the treasure is still God's." (St. Thérèse of Lisieux)    Scripture for Lectio: "All you who labor, who are bent under the weight of your burden, who find the demands of the Law too heavy, come to me, for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

DescriptionWhat does it take to build an organic, grain-to-glass distillery in the heart of the White Mountains? In this episode of the Bourbon Lens, we sit down with Chris Burke, co-founder and master distiller of Cathedral Ledge Distillery, to explore the intersection of organic distillation and historic standards.Chris pulls back the curtain on the "Bottled-in-Bond Act" and explains why this 1897 quality standard is the backbone of their production philosophy. We dive into the complexities of organic grain sourcing, the nuances of their mash bills, and how their specific maturation environment in New Hampshire creates a flavor profile you won't find in Kentucky.You'll learn about the technical side of barrel selection, the importance of seasonal labeling, and how Cathedral Ledge is navigating the challenges of direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales and legislation. From the first drop of the hearts to the final tasting notes, this conversation is an essential guide for anyone interested in the transparency, entrepreneurship, and artistry behind modern American whiskey.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Cathedral Ledge Distillery06:13 The Importance of the Bottled-in-Bond Act13:25 Maturation and Barrel Selection in the Northeast18:48 Crafting Unique Whiskey: Mash Bills & Process25:33 Marketing Strategy & Direct-to-Consumer Sales33:17 Tasting Preferences & Favorite Pours

Send a textWe chart Alan Bishop's leap from an established distillery to Old Homestead, how he rebuilt his stills, and why he's doubling down on experiential spirits. We taste and unpack Wickliffe Bell at 139.2 proof—peat-smoked oats, smoked apples, clean cuts, and a rest that polishes without erasing character.• Reinvention after French Lick and owning the build at Old Homestead• Pot still aging limits and why barrel babysitting matters• Labels that free creativity: whiskey from a bourbon mash• Making uncommon whiskey for common people as a guiding idea• The Old Homestead campus and “Alcohol Acres” destination• Wild Newton Stewart yeast capture and sense of place• Wycliffe Bell process, thumpers, peat, apples, and cask strength• Water, highballs, and choose-your-proof tasting• Upcoming Rise & Shine trio and barrel-rested sunshines• New absinthe and gin releases, plus where to find Alan's workThe best spirits don't just taste like a place—they tell you its story. We sit down with Alan Bishop for his record-setting return to talk about leaving a legacy brand, hand-building a new distillery at Old Homestead, and charting a bolder future where labels serve flavor, not the other way around. If you've ever wondered how a distiller reinvents without losing soul, this is a masterclass in making uncommon whiskey for common people.Alan opens up about the real arc of starting over: the existential first year, the stubborn stills, and the moment the “house character” finally reveals itself. He explains why pot still whiskey has a sweet spot, how to babysit barrels so wood doesn't swallow grain, and why he's transparent about using “whiskey distilled from a bourbon mash” to unlock honest flexibility—used oak, varied entry proofs, and subtle pre-distillation botanicals—while telling drinkers exactly what's in the glass.Then we dive into Wickliffe Bell, a cask-strength Black Forest Spirit at 139.2 proof that drinks shockingly gentle. Oats malted by Sugar Creek are peat-smoked with Irish turf, apples are smoked and loaded into a thumper, and the cut is clean like a white distillate before a short rest in new oak. The result is apple-oat warmth, soft phenolics that read like hickory-kissed smoke, and a choose-your-own-proof journey that blooms with a splash of water or lifts in a smoky highball. It's not bourbon. It's not scotch. It's a place in a bottle.We also map the broader canvas: Bartels & Bishop hitting distribution, limited Old Homestead bourbon kept intentionally scarce, the Rise & Shine trio (citrus, jasmine-chamomile, hickory bark) riding the thumpers, and a new absinthe that merges Old World method with New World botanicals. Along the way, Alan talks underdog grit, storytelling as craft, and building “Alcohol Acres”—a lakeside destination that pairs serious spirits with a weekend worth remembering.If you care about flavor, place, and where American whiskey goes next, press play.

In this episode I'm joined by astrologer and friend Chris van der Walt to discuss a Vedic astrological technique called the Ages of Maturation.If you're new to astrology, this is a tool you can hit the ground running with. And for advanced practitioners, it will add new layers of depth to your readings.The concept is simple: every planet has a specific year in which it matures. Starting the year before that age, the planet begins to bloom, marking a period where its full expression comes into play.For example, Venus matures at age 25. For someone with a prominent 10th-house Venus, we'd expect that energy to make itself heard in the public sector of their life between the ages of 24 and 25. Think: job promotions, career shifts, or significant changes in reputation.Similarly, once a planet reaches maturation, we can expect full mastery over its themes. This is why we often say Saturn becomes easier after its maturation at age 36.So elegant! So powerful!During our conversation, Chris and I go over each of the planets, their themes, and their year of maturation, sharing stories from our own lives.If you'd like one-on-one guidance exploring these ages, I'm offering a limited number of specially priced readings where we can map out your own planetary story.Book your reading here.Are you in Los Angeles?

The “killability” of the Son of God was an essential reason for the incarnation. Jesus Christ needed to die for sinners as a sinless man. This required conception, birth, and maturation to adulthood—all of it sinlessly. Jesus' maturation as a human being assures us of his perfectly victorious mission. Our passage points to this certain maturation of the incarnate Son of God: 1. Normal Maturation (vv. 39–40) 2. Spiritual Maturation (vv. 41–50) 3. Relational Maturation (v. 51) 4.

Host: Ryan Quigley Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains one of the hardest subtypes to treat, with limited options and high relapse rates—so identifying new therapeutic targets is critical. In this AudioAbstract, Ryan Quigley spotlights research presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium that implicates ribosome biogenesis as a key vulnerability. Tune in to learn how this approach could inform the next generation of TNBC therapies.

My guest today is David George. David is a General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, where he leads the firm's growth investing business. His team has backed many of the defining companies of this era – including Databricks, Figma, Stripe, SpaceX, Anduril, and OpenAI – and is now investing behind a new generation of AI startups like Cursor, Harvey, and Abridge. This conversation is a detailed look at how David built and runs the a16z growth practice. He shares how he recruits and builds his team a “Yankees-level” culture, how his team makes investment decisions without traditional committees, and how they work with founders years before investing to win the most competitive deals. Much of our conversation centers on AI and how his team is investing across the stack, from foundational models to applications. David draws parallels to past platform shifts – from SaaS to mobile – and explains why he believes this period will produce some of the largest companies ever built. David also outlines the models that guide his approach – why markets often misprice consistent growth, what makes “pull” businesses so powerful, and why most great tech markets end up winner-take-all. David reflects on what he's learned from studying exceptional founders and why he's drawn to a particular type, the “technical terminator.” Please enjoy my conversation with David George.

In this encore episode, we detail the oral-gut microbiota axis, detailing the oral microbiome and its relationship with the intestinal microbiome. We discuss the development of oral biofilm, the transition from plaque to dental calculus, and potential impacts of oral dysbiosis, while highlighting intestinal health and focusing on Fusobacterium nucleatum. Topics:1. Overview of the Oral Microbiome and the Oral-Gut Axis - The oral cavity and the gut: microbially dense sites. - Anatomically distinct but connected and capable of influencing each other. - The oral microbiome. - Microbial distribution: topography and chemistry of oral surfaces. 2. Oral Cavity Anatomy and Microenvironments - The vestibule and oral cavity proper. - Lined by oral mucosa, which varies in structure. - Unique ecological niches that support different microbial populations. 3. Tooth Structure and Relevance to Microbial Colonization - Teeth are embedded in the alveolar processes of the maxilla and mandible. - Tooth structure. - Long-term microbial colonization and biofilm development. 4. Biofilm / Dental Plaque Development - Biofilm begins with the formation of the acquired pellicle.- Pioneer species secreting extracellular polymeric substances (EPS).- Secondary colonizers coaggregate.- Coaggregation is species-specific.- Example.- Aerobes can lower local oxygen levels, creating micro anaerobic niches that support obligate anaerobes. 5. Maturation of the Biofilm  - Biofilm composition shifting to anaerobic, proteolytic species such as P. gingivalis. - F. nucleatum: a bridge species. 6. Mineralization and Formation of Dental Calculus - Mineralization, calcium and phosphate deposition. - Dental calculus. 7. Oral Dysbiosis  - An imbalance in the oral microbial community. - Potential signs and symptoms. - Halitosis, swollen or bleeding gums, tooth sensitivity. 8. Oral-Gut Axis and Systemic Implications - Physical, chemical, biochemical, and immunological barriers aid in preventing oral bacteria from colonizing the gut. - Oral bacteria can potentially impact intestinal health. -  F. nucleatum and IBD. 9.

Genesis 4V17-26 with Gavin Bennett Genesis is where the Scriptures begin—introducing God as Creator and laying the foundation for the rest of the biblical story. This summer, we'll teach through the opening chapters verse by verse. These texts reveal the pattern of blessing, rebellion, and response that runs throughout the Bible. In them, we see the origins of both human failure and God's redemptive promise. https://bridgetown.church/teaching

They weren't employees. They were partners. Les Schwab didn't build a company. He built a culture. This episode reveals how one small-town tire dealer scaled to $3 billion by turning customers into evangelists and employees into owners. Somewhere between changing his first flat tire and opening his 410th Les Schwab Tire Center, Les discovered something profound: his people weren't just working for him, they were working with him. They weren't building his dream, they were building their own. This episode is a case study on how strategy, incentives, and trust create massive advantages that resources can't buy. When investment bankers offered Schwab billions to sell his empire, he refused after asking himself just one question: “What would I do with the money?” Les Schwab understood something most never learn: the real wealth isn't in what you keep.  Approximate timestamps: Subject to variation due to dynamically inserted ads:  (01:49) Roots   (11:21) In Business  (27:50) Building an Empire  (40:18) Maturation and Legacy  (48:21) Reflections from Les Schwab  (51:22) Lessons from Les Schwab   This episode is for informational purposes only and is based on Pride in Performance: Keep It Going by Les Schwab Check out highlights from this book in our repository, and find key lessons from Schwab here: https://www.fs.blog/knowledge-project-podcast/outliers-les-schwab Upgrade—If you want to hear my thoughts and reflections at the end of all episodes, join our membership: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠fs.blog/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and get your own private feed.
