Episode notes
Tyron Smith's Outsized Impact
- Tyron Smith's absence massively reduces Dallas's offensive efficiency, especially on early downs and the run game.
- Warren Sharp shows Dallas fell from top running efficiency to near the bottom without Smith, implying major game-by-game impact.
Cardinals' Third‑Down Magic Will Regress
- The Arizona Cardinals' third-and-long conversion rate last year (56%) is historically unsustainable and will regress sharply.
- Warren Sharp warns Hopkins' early absence and a tough late schedule exacerbate expected offensive regression.
Patriots Prone To Regression
- Sharp expects the New England Patriots to face regression due to roster turnover and a tougher schedule.
- He highlights offensive line questions and inflated cap hits as reasons to doubt New England's ceiling.
