Her lower left leg is an issue I’ve noticed she doesn’t have a ton of stability in that leg. She’s had a couple instances she “blew a tire” on layups where her leg is giving out.
She won’t land on it either if you notice she comes down on her right leg almost every single time
Her and Makayla Timpson are both listed at 6”2 she is MUCH shorter than Timpson I’d say her realistic height is 6”0 even
She has 26 blocks in her last 82 games and only avgs about 4.5 rebounds.
The fever (today), the valkyries, the mystics and the aces all did it Perfect “attack Naz hillmon”
Nalyssa ate, Shakira ate, 12 of Shakira’s 21 came with her as the primary defender.
There’s no difference between running her and running 4 guards
My theory to why she has trouble finishing is because she’s exhausted. She’s gotta get easier baskets for herself banging in the post takes energy. There’s a reason why every great post player in the league takes midrange jumpers
When she missed the layup to go to OT she had 0 power in her legs.
At the very least a 5 foot post hook, a floater, a fadeaway we need her to score she’s the only player on this team that will show up every game.
Madina Angel rhyne lish and Izzy gave you the best spark this season you put shirrod and naz back in we blew it. Players taking 3s while up 3
Pao ain’t played in a month and you have her in crunch time?
in 33 games can you tell me 3 times he’s drawn up a play and it’s worked?
You can argue we have the lowest Shot IQ passing IQ, defensive IQ of all the playoff teams who’s that a reflection on?
I have no idea why pitchers can’t face one more batter in a 2 out situation.
managers act like if they face one more batter they’ll collapse and die.
And the reliever will come in give up the next 5 runs and they’ll lose the game.
I can’t stand it you take the moneyline it’s chalked cause they pulled the starter
you take pitching outs it’s chalked cause they pulled the starter.
Killed throwing vs the cpu on heisman
the only thing that could be used to combat the scripted interceptions was greening the catch meter. But So many people complained instead of adjusting ea just set it back to cfb 26.
I didn’t see that stupid back breaker animation until the first patch.
WRs are dropping everything again and if you throw a 1v1 jumpball both safeties and the corner all warp to the ball as soon as it’s in the air
Everything is an interception or a completion.
If your QB gets hit while throwing instead of slamming into the dirt the ball or a sack fumble the ball just floats right into a DL hands.
My favorite is when a corner bats a ball down the ball keeps floating upwards and the safety coming from the other side of the field picks it off
Why is jc guarding someone 6 inches taller than her in Jackie young.
Naz weakness is rim protection and size so why is she playing the 4 vs aja and Nalyssa two elite 6”4 inside scorers.
Bri jones weakness is mobility so if you’re gonna run and gun 3s and switch on defense then why have her come in for Angel?
Aaliyah nye Avg 15 off of 45% 3 point percentage for a sec team and avg 15 minutes on a championship winning team why doesn’t she play?
Pitts catching the ball over his shoulder correct me if I’m wrong but he’s never done that. He always catches it back shoulder or he high points it but this is beautiful.
Now he can catch deep passes down the seam or on post routes without slowing down or breaking stride.
Penix is throwing the ball with air under it.
The worst thing I remember as a wr was having to stare at the QB wait for him to throw me a pass that was gonna sting to catch then im a sitting duck because I had to slow down to catch it.
It’s almost like hesitating on a wide open shot in basketball your rhythm is broken.
Zac branch
His ability to start and stop, his acceleration and his route running has been a pleasure to watch a first round wr fell to the third round because the nfl makes you take your shoes off.
He was listed at 5”10 he had a first round grade then they measured him without his shoes and he measured at 5”8.6(5”9) and teams went OMG HES SO SHORT. and they called him a screen merchant not looking at the 2 years he ran a full route tree at usc.
thank you to all 31 other teams
Mercury let me down bad my goodness……Idk I just thought they’d be at least somewhat decent without Satou but ironically the defense got worse.
I didn’t doubt the Lynx I just didn’t think miles would have zero growing pains and start playing like an mvp candidate.
Golden state shocked me ofc
You’re playing hardball but plum would make us the favorites to win a championship.
So You can have Jordin Canada in the trade package.
it hurts me deeply she had 15 assists In like 4 games this season so she’s really good and she’s fast too you’ll love her, plum will fit the culture really well you can have a first round pick too
I don’t even care I’m here for a good time not a long time cmon ik plum expensive don’t worry we’ll pay for it
Please…..the Lynx are scaring me
Their entire starting 5 can score, their coach is elite they have a top 3 player, an mvp contender and they have a Bench.
Dorkha hit 4 3s…… when tf she learn how to do that 🥲🥲
Anyways yall cool and yall can dress and that rickea Jackson trade was kinda genius too
Chen killed us she’s no longer on the team and the aces are less scary without her. Not a ton of bench production without her.
I like rhyne on Jackie a lot and either Alisha or rhyne will go off because the aces don’t have a ton of lockdown defenders. Even Jackie has regressed on D.
The goat will get hers but Angel always makes her earn it you have to make her inefficient.
The way the aces are structured now aja and Jackie have to get 25+
Nalyssa on Bri jones?I love that matchup too
I think improved footwork and mechanics might save his career. His release looks a lot faster footwork is smoother but he’s been working on his pocket movement.
Him getting hit while throwing was my only concern he got rolled up on against the 49ers and panthers during his release. If he gets the ball out faster he’s able to brace himself
With his Quicker release and improved footwork he’s going to be able to navigate the pocket and hit receivers in stride.
He’s going to surprise a lot of people
So it’s possible Tessa Johnson starts at point and/or Chloe runs point forward. Because Dawn will start all 3 seniors, Jordan Lee and Joyce.
Joyce and Chloe play the same position. Chloe might be your best passer and Tessa needs to focus on hunting her shot
My question is how much can their draft stock raise?
Remember Chloe ran point forward and dropped a Triple double vs ole miss.
Right now teams view Chloe as an undersized, small ball 4 but if she can show her upside as a playmaker you’d have to think she goes pretty high.
Then you have Tessa teams view her as this off ball shooter could running point guard at a high level boost her draft stock?
I’m trying to explain in the WNBA subreddit why I believe Angel is the best defender on our team and imo should be looked at for dpoy. She’s guarding 1-5 and she doesn’t have any major weaknesses that teams can take advantage of.
I was explaining that…..Jordin’s size can be taken advantage of by forcing her to switch onto a bigger guard
and that if rhyne is having an off shooting night she will lapse on defense.(It’s more of a mental thing with her)
But that’s why I would give Angel dpoy because she’s the most consistent defensively on our team.
I also said because she’s a better post defender and has more stocks I’d give her the edge over gabby.
I got downvoted to hell
Y’all be careful gabby got shooters
You have a great young team you’re about to make the playoffs.
You have a top 3 pick with an elite class coming up Do not trade for plum.
The issue with getting a vet is they start demanding. Either “win now” moves or they want to change the system to fit their playstyle
Which kills young players growth.
We just seen LA in this exact same scenario.
Olivia miles and Minnesota is proof sometimes a rookie is all you need. Imagine adding Hannah Hildago to this mystics team.
Best LB room we’ve had in a long time……I liked Ellis but he couldn’t cover and he wasn’t great changing direction.
Christian Harris is a lot more athletic no more big yards after catch because he has excellent pursuit and great tackling
Harold Perkins blitzing and QB spying running QBs is going to be great. No more long 3rd and 15 scrambles to end the game.
Then in coverage you have divine deablo lurking the middle eating up space
But the most underrated guy is Kendal Daniels because you have this 6”4 cover guy standing in the middle of the field that QBs can’t throw over.
Hes going to bat down a lot of passes because QBs won’t be able to throw through him.
The pash rush with JPJ, Jalon and azzez
Elite secondary
we got a disruptor at slot in avieon forcing fumbles and tackling in space.
Green window is extremely small the one football game where speed receivers weren’t meta and the jumpball was actually useful is now gone
it’s yellow every single time doesn’t matter the size or ratings. ofc the run game is untouched WRs still pancake like crazy and it’s super hard to get off blocks that gets untouched.
Players complain every single year when their Dbs or user don’t catch 30 picks every single game because they don’t wanna use the swat mechanic……smh
Hilarious when the QB puts up a 24-30 statline with 430 yards 4 tds 4 ints
The fever aren’t using her and I would love to have her for backup pg depth elite defensively really high iq and great passer Pao can slide back to the 2
she has tremendous post passes and played with both Madina Okot and Pao Pao so she’d fit perfectly.
Really strange…..nyara got hurt but it wasn’t a dirty play but that’s crazyyy. Idk Sandy I’d be more worried about 6 players in double digits rather than Angel being a “tick”
Obviously I’d root for either QB but I think we have something special with Penix.
12 starts only 1 game was out of reach. 9 of those 12 should’ve been automatic winners.
I like his ability to step up in big games
Rookie year playoff hopes on the line he delivered in just his second game. If we have a kicker he leads us to the playoffs.
going head to head against baker, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, Josh Allen and in those games he either matched or exceeded.
After a terrible week 3 he sees the same team again and comes out 12-14 with 175 yards.
the intangibles
Week 1 drake London is hurt, Mooney is hurt, I’ll lead a drive with Casey Washington and hodge.
I have a third string protecting my blindside and my OC can’t get the plays in time.
His 3rd and 4th start he accounted for 300 yards in both.
The accuracy should shoot up
No more tight window sideline throws you finally attack the middle of the field (which Unlocks KP more)
No more option routes where you don’t know which way the wr is going and you have to reset your base.
Better quick game with branch and OZ
The improvements
Last but not least the slow windup that caused him to take more hits is fixed, the footwork is better
This should get interesting
