Anatomy of a Game Changing Turnover – Revenge of the Birds

Some NFL fans are wondering why and how the Arizona Cardinals are 8-1 and why they are so much improved from years past.

The 2021 Arizona Cardinals are a brotherhood of ballers - in all three phases.

Today, lets take a close look at one key improvement the Cardinals have been making on defense. The improvement is manifested in this momentum swinging turnover that the Cardinals forced on their first series at Santa Clara. Here, have a look:

In pass coverage the Cardinals, on the whole, are playing a clever mixture of man-to-man, zones and combos (man to one side, zone on the other, with occasionally a double team assignment).

On this play, they are playing man-to-man under with a single high safety over the top in Budda Baker.

As seen on the great hustle play by the Cardinals secondary, when opponents complete passes anywhere on the field and especially over the middle, the Cardinals defenders - all 11 of them - do everything they can to converge on the ball, much the way a school of piranhas converge on a slab of chub.

For years, not every Cardinals defender heeded the memo. Some Cardinals defenders never quite embraced the notion of help defense.

That was then, but this is now.

What we see in this outstanding hustle play by four Cardinals defenders.

What opposing WRs, TEs and RBs are aware of more than ever, is the Cardinals school of piranhas, fiercely captained by Budda Baker.

Budda Baker is the main reason why All Pro TE George Kittle elected to leap on this play, because, for the past couple of years, Kittle has learned the hard way why Budda Baker is an All Pro heat seeking piranha who has repeatedly taken him out at the shins and ankles - which, if you watch Buddas pad level on this play is precisely what Kittle was trying to avoid.

Isaiah Simmons began his coverage with outside leverage on Kittle, knowing that he had Buddas help on Kittle over the middle. While Kittle makes an excellent burst over the middle to gain a step on Simmons, Simmons chases Kittle as hard as he can and winds up in a position to help make the tackle.

After administering blanket man coverage on WR Brandon Aiyuk, as soon as Byron Murphy saw Kittle catch the ball over the middle, Byron leaves Aiyuk to chase the play from behind as quickly as he can to where he is able to perfectly time his ball punch.

Kudos to Jordan Hicks for hopping on the loose ball as quickly as he did. Hicks was chasing the play the way Vance Joseph has coached him to do.

The Cardinals had 4 Johnnies on the spot on this play: Budda Baker, Isaiah Simmons, Byron Murphy and Jordan Hicks.

Notice too how quickly Marco Wilson and Tanner Vallejo arrive on the scene when the fumble is recovered by Hicks.

This Cardinals defense plays full bore from the snap to the whistle.

Eso fue un robo de baln - that was a steal of the ball!

Anatomy of an Inflation Mess – National Review

Policy-makers risk a doom loop whereby inflation today begets more inflation tomorrow. Here's how we got here.

NRPLUS MEMBER ARTICLEOctobers inflation numbers, released this week, notched the highest level since the 1990s. Policy-makers have spent the past year dismissing inflation as a transitory concern, but the 6.2 percent increase in prices is enough to alarm the most dovish economists. For decades, economists have voiced more concern about deflation in the U.S. than inflation. Indeed, inflation has been below the Federal Reserves 2 percent target for decades. How, then, did inflation rear its head so quickly?

Since the start of the pandemic, Congress has passed a total of $5 trillion in stimulus spending, totaling more than 20 percent of GDP. Thanks

Anatomy of the Tories week from hell – Evening Standard

T

here is one statistic so extraordinary about Armistice Day I struggle still to compute it. We are all taught at school how the guns fell silent on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

But it was only a couple of years ago I learned that the death toll for the morning of 11 November 1918 when the commanders knew the fighting would cease at 11am was greater than both sides would go on to suffer in Normandy on D Day, 1944. As the journalist and historian Adam Hochschild puts it, The war ended as senselessly as it had begun.

Of course, politicians never made unbelievably harmful or stupid decisions ever again... Speaking of which, the truly incredible element of the Tory-sleaze-news-cycle-that-will-never-end is how easily it could have been avoided if Boris Johnson had simply accepted the judgement of the Committee on Standards.

Indeed, as Newsnights Lewis Goodall points out, one way to measure time is that onEarth 2, Owen Paterson is now roughly a quarter of the way through his suspension.

Now for the health of our parliamentary democracy, it is perhaps a good thing the Prime Minister erred in the way that he did. Sunlight really is the best disinfectant. But it is unclear when this story will run out of fuel. There are a lot of MPs with a lot of second jobs...

The secret to Matildas success? She doesnt take any s***

"Grey’s Anatomy" star Jake Borelli on the show’s 18th season – Out In Jersey

Jake Borelli stars as Dr. Levi Schmitt on ABCs Greys Anatomy

Jake Borelli is well known since starring as Dr. Levi Schmitt on ABCs Greys Anatomy and subsequently Wolfgang on Nickelodeons The Thundermans. In a brave move on November 2018, during Season 15: Episode 6 of Greys Anatomy, Borelli publicly came out as gay at the same time his character, Dr. Levi Schmitt, came out. Jake Borelli sat down with me before filming to discuss the new season and gives us an inside view into who he really is off-screen.

September 30th marks the premiere of the 18th season of Greys Anatomy. How was the filming process?

Jake Borelli: We arent entirely done with filming! We usually dont even begin filming a new season until six to eight weeks before the premiere of episode one.

Season 17 had a very realistic storyline that closely paralleled the pandemic. What can we expect from this season?

JB: We are all in this new world together trying to figure out how to navigate life and move on. This season is going to be a Shonda Rhimes rollercoaster! I would feel awful to spoil it, so youll have to tune in!

Since May there have been whispers that there will be a spinoff of some kind. Is anything in the works?

JB: OohI have no idea. Private Practice was the first spinoff. I do love the second spinoff we currently have airing, Station 19, so I wouldnt be opposed to more.

How does the character you play, Dr. Levi Schmitt, relate to your own personality?

JB: Levi and I are very similar, to be honest. We have many overlapping traits. A lot of Levis clumsy behavior stems from my own. For example, in Season 14 when I first came on the show there was an episode where I was running because I was late. I tripped and fellthey kept it inand my natural klutz behavior sort of gave birth to Levis klutz behavior. We are both neurotic. Levi has been working hard to elevate himself within the medical field similarly to how I have been working hard to elevate myself within acting.

How do the two of you differ?

JB: I will say that Levi is more vulnerable and open in speaking his mind. I admire these qualities which I have been trying to emulate in my own life. However, Levi is probably more socially awkward than me. I like to think that I am better at my social game than him. I also enjoy Levis obliviousness and inability to see social hierarchy.

Alex Landi plays Dr. Nico Kim, your colleague, and boyfriend on the show. Your relationship is the first gay relationship featured on the longtime series. Is he a good kisser?

JB: (Laughs) Yes, I think Levi would say he is! Alex and I have fun. We love Schmico and really enjoy acting together.

Schmico has gone viral on social media. Thoughts on your popular gay showmance?

JB: Oh my God! I love Schmico. I love all the content that I see. I love the artwork too. Ive seen some incredible pieces of art online.

Over the past ten years, there have been more gay television series, gay main characters, and gay subject matter given attention within the mainstream media. Do you feel gay has become more socially acceptable or do we still have a long way to go?

JB: We still have a long way to go but I feel queerness, in general, has become more mainstream. I feel this has a lot to do with new generations who are much more comfortable talking about queer topics as well as being queer. They are causing a much larger supply and demand for these stories to be shown. I feel business is witnessing this, understanding how these queer stories can be marketed and ultimately advantageous for them.

I am only 30 years old. Growing up, we did not have much in terms of queer storylines. In the past, it was either small characters or tiny story arcs focused on fear and shame. Today we are getting much more well-rounded storylines. I am so proud that the people who run Greys Anatomy decided to put a queer character as a lead on a show this huge. It is massive to me just as an audience member. I am very grateful to them.

How would you describe your dream man in real life?

JB: They must be curious, because curiosity is a very big quality for me. They need to be driven because ambition is a quality I really admire. Overall, I like a family man. I would love to have a family in the future. I also love men who are into the outdoors and enjoy traveling.

You have been extremely busy the past four years. Have you had downtime to enjoy activities and hobbies?

JB: During the pandemic, I felt like all I had was downtime! This summer I visited my family, and we literally did nothing. Yet it was a glorious time. During the height of the pandemic, I went camping often because going out into nature away from people felt like the safest thing you could do. I also picked up embroidery this summer. If readers follow me on Instagram, they can see my embroidery in my stories. By day I am hiking, by night I am watching trashy tv embroidering.

What are some of your favorite guilty pleasure television shows?

JB: I think I have watched every single competition reality show that exists over the last two years. It started with Survivor, which is still my all-time favorite, and moved onto RuPauls Drag Race. Now, this is where it gets so much trashier, my newest obsessions are The Circle and Too Hot to Handle on Netflix. They are all just so addicting that I cant get over it. I will say at least I havent gotten into the Real Housewives franchise or Jersey Shore. The only show remotely like those two that I watch is Selling Sunset on Netflix.

I enjoy the competition element of reality television because it is much more realistic. Case in point: Project Runway and The Great Pottery Throw Down. Going from Greys Anatomy, one of the most respected TV dramas, everything just feels trashy (laughs).

Of all hobbies to pick up how did embroidering happen?

JB: I am very crafty. I was always an artist. Actually, prior to acting I almost went to college to become a fine artist. I always had the artistic bone and knitted since I was prepubescent. During the pandemic, we all had so much time on our hands, and I just started doing macram, embroidery and it grew from there.

You are highly creative. What is your zodiac sign?

JB: I am a Taurus. I am not too familiar with the correlation between creativity, but I am definitely stubborn, so there is validity to what they say about Taurus.

Where do you hope to take your acting career long-term?

JB: I would love to do more theatre. Before I booked Greys Anatomy, I had moved to New York to pursue theatre. However, I was there for only six weeks before I booked Greys Anatomy and had to move back to Los Angeles. At some point, I would like to dip my feet back into theatre. Another huge goal of mine is to work on a network sitcom. Growing up as a kid I adored sitcoms and would love to work on something of that nature.

‘Spencer’ | Anatomy of a Scene – The New York Times

Hello, my name is Pablo Larran and I am the director of Spencer. This scene is very important in the movie and its in the first third of the film. And we see Diana walking into a dinner where all the royal family is there. Diana, of course, is played by Kristen Stewart. And its the very first scene where we start to see what she sees and feel what shes feeling. And how do we do that? That was the question. How do we invite the audience to her point of view of the situation? And some of the things arent really happening and they are just happening in her imagination, in her perception, in her own fantasy of the reality. And that reality somehow interfere with a conflict that have already happened to her with the family. So we are really seeing the consequences of that conflict. The main consequence is her mental distress and how she could eventually start seeing things that arent really there. We did a lot of shots. Its one of the scenes of this film that has more coverage, like pretty much everyone there got a single shot and then we cover it from different angles. Because I thought that we needed that material for later in the editing room, we could find the right rhythm in order to cut it properly. So its really a scene that have a very precise ascension where we started with a slow kind of like minimalistic rhythm. And then as it goes by, it creates more and more intensity up to the point that its almost unbearable. And I wanted to hit that limit, I wanted to go as far as we could in terms of intensity, volume. And obviously, Jonny Greenwoods music is very relevant for the operation of the scene. I also felt that it was important for Kristen to feel the pressure of the family. So what I did, is that I asked Kristen to stay away from the set up until everything was very ready, and she never walked in and never saw them up until we shot that arrival. And she has this necklace that we know that Charles gave that necklace to Camilla Parker Bowles. And the audience knows that that necklace is not just a necklace, its the representation of a broken marriage, a representation of a very painful gift. So we discussed this with Jonny Greenwood, our composer, in terms of how this should be played. And I remember asking him to create something that could have a progression from something, from music that could be played in that context, that is music that is sort of designed to disappear, just to be in the background, and then eventually becomes very relevant and very intense and helps you define what shes going through. [CLATTERING] So its a very beautiful and strange work, because the composition evolves into a state of panic. That was very important for the process of making the scene and for the result of the scene. [MUSIC INTENSIFIES] And we feel for her, we feel with her, and I think Kristen does an incredible work to sort of handle the physicality, the emotions. Its a scene with no dialogue, its just music and sort of the cinematic progression and the dramatic progression and the interaction between her, the Queen, Anne Boleyn, and of course, Charles.

Greys Anatomy Recap: A Joy Initiative – Vulture

Greys Anatomy

Some Kind of Tomorrow

Season 18 Episode 2

Editors Rating 3 stars ***

Photo: ABC

Miranda Bailey wants to bring the joy back to Grey Sloan Memorial. The pandemic has left the hospital a dreary place with low morale. Her employees are retiring to write mystery novels, relax in places with a view, and find the fun in their lives again. She wants people to remember that what they do here is bigger than themselves, that they are all in this together. COVID-19 robbed them of so much, and a big part of that is the reason they do what they do: the joy of their work. Or as Webber puts it: You want to remember the why. He has some ideas of how they can make some changes. And yes, if youre thinking, Hmmm, is this whole finding joy thing a little meta and definitely applicable to the show itself, because, holy shit, things were suffocatingly sad there for so, so long?, you are not alone.

A big portion of how Webber and Bailey want to enact positive change is linked to fixing the residency program, which is (lets be honest) a real shitshow at the moment. These residents stink! Some of that is COVID and some of it well, you cant teach natural talent, babe. But Webber is going to try. Hes taking control of the program again that whole Meredith takes the residency program thing lasted like one episode and hes making observations from the walkway overlooking the lobby, and it feels like old times, doesnt it? Webber is putting the residents through a rigorous day in the skills lab Schmitt calls it the Surgical Olympics, Helm calls it the Hunger Games and the winner gets a solo surgery. Its hard, its fun, even the attendings are getting into it, and at the end of it all Schmitt gets to pull a yoni egg out of a womans bowels with an assist from his fellow residents up in the gallery (Merediths residency class would never). Bailey can see the joy, people.

Someone who needs to see the joy standing right in front of her is Meredith Grey. And by that I mean both the revolutionary medical journey Seth Cohens dad is handing her and the hot transplant surgeon who wants to take her stargazing and tells her things like risk it all. Thats, like, so much joy. Especially for Meredith Grey, who we know loves to be shrouded in darkness for about eight months out of the year. It is her way.

Meredith is still deciding whether she wants to attempt to cure Parkinsons disease, so she calls in Amelia to make sure she isnt crazy for even considering David Hamiltons offer. Mers obviously going to need a skilled neurosurgeon to pull this off, and if shes doing this, she wants Amelia by her side. Amelia pretty much says yes from the moment Meredith walks her up to the Grey Center doors. Then she definitely says yes when she checks out the state-of-the-art equipment and learns theyd be working with Dr. Kai Bartley, a renowned neuroscientist who was a few years behind Amelia at Hopkins. Amelia is a huge fan of Bartleys work. A huge, huge fan. It doesnt take long for Amelia to sit Meredith down and ask her why in the hell she wouldnt say yes to this. Not only is a famous surgeon throwing money at them to change the face of medicine, but it would also get Meredith back to her neuro roots. I dont know if anyone has missed Meredith doing neurosurgery over the years since she switched to general, but sure, we can go with that. Amelia wants to do this with her, and she thinks her sister-in-law shouldve said yes yesterday. She heads back to Seattle.

On Merediths date with Nick he sets up a picnic under the stars, because after he almost died he started to appreciate the simple things in life he asks her about her top-secret project. Shell only tell him one thing: Shes scared. Shes scared of failing. Shes scared of killing a brilliant surgeon. Shes scared of risking the comfort and safety she has in Seattle to possibly be a public failure. But Nick doesnt buy it. You are not a safety person, Meredith, he says, reading her perfectly. She wont be happy playing it safe, and he knows that because hes the same way. Youre going to risk it all, and win or lose, its going to be a hell of a ride. In other news, Im sweating.

Meredith knows Nick is right about her. So she goes to see David and give him her demands: She gets to pick her own team. Any progress they make through this research and surgery has to become public and accessible to anyone with Parkinsons. And she wants to move the lab to Grey Sloan. That last item is a problem for David. Itll be too expensive, and the clock is ticking his prognosis is only getting worse. So they come to an agreement: Shell open a satellite lab in Seattle and travel to Minnesota once a week. They shake on it. Meredith Grey is going to try to cure Parkinsons disease. Talk about finding your joy, huh?

Back in Seattle, Merediths new brother-in-law seems to be fitting in nicely. Winstons on his own this week because Maggies in Boston while her father has hip surgery, but Winston already knows that to be a surgeon at Grey Sloan you must (1) fight for your patients even if it could land you in major trouble and (2) say things in an extra-dramatic tone while exiting rooms in a hurry. Hes a natural! Winston ends up with a patient, Rashida Flowers, who has kidney disease due to diabetes. She also has a clotting disease that makes dialysis difficult, so her only other choice is a transplant, but she doesnt qualify for the list. Both her mother and brother died of kidney disease because they, too, couldnt get a transplant, so she has resigned herself to this fate.

Winston cant wrap his head around this. Rashidas renal function should make her an excellent candidate for a transplant. He looks into the eGFR, the tried-and-true formula they have been using for decades to determine kidney-transplant candidates, and finds something alarming. The formula is based on racist assumptions about Black people that makes it more difficult for them to qualify for the list merely one instance of many that have snaked their way into medicine. He has examples of other patients on the list with the exact same health profile as Rashida, and the only difference between them and her is that theyre white. Its appalling. Unfortunately, theres not a lot that Winston can do. He cant even appeal to the board unless the patients condition is medically emergent.

With her clotting disease, it doesnt take long for Rashida to fall under that category. Yes, its a scary moment when things begin to go south, but Winston gets her stable enough, then delivers the good news: She has finally been placed on the transplant list. Rashida bursts into happy, relieved tears. It doesnt change anything about the eGFR at the moment, but it does change Rashidas life. Its time we start questioning our standards, he tells Rashidas nephrologist, who seems fine with the status quo. Grey Sloan is really rubbing off on Dr. Ndugu.

Owen and Teddy seem to be in a nice little honeymoon period: Theyre joining forces to do whatever it takes to help Noah Young, a vet with pulmonary fibrosis. He contracted it from exposure to burn pits while on one of his six tours, but the VA wont cover treatment. Hes terminal, but he wants to spend whatever time he has left with his son, so he leaves the hospital, against medical advice, before Owen can get to him. Elsewhere, Teddy is worried the world might be cruel to little Leo, who decides to wear an Elsa dress to day care. Owen tells her that yes, the world may be cruel, but they never will be. Leo is happy. They should let him be who he is. Were only two episodes in, but no drama has transpired between these two, and that is a really unexpected win.

More talk of joy: Link is still a Sad Boy, crashing at Jos theyre packing diaper bags together now and singing depressing lullabies to Scout. Jo assures him that hell be okay; he just needs to start looking for the joy around him. Mm-hmm.

Ooh la la: Are Cormac and Megan going to have a steamy hookup? Shes hanging around to fill in while Mer is away, and they have some immediate chemistry. Lets do this! If youre bringing the joy back, you have got to bring the steam back too!

And now Peter Gallagher is quoting Into the Woods and alluding to a deep love for Sondheim musicals? I guess Ive found my joy. Is this man going to die?

Next week: Dr. Addison Montgomery returns, babyyyy!

Keep up with all the drama of your favorite shows!
