PFW: The Way We Hear It 11/30
Pro Football Weekly's rumor roundup points out how Ed Reed picked up on the play against the Eagles he ended up returning for a touchdown:
On the 107-yard interception return for a touchdown vs. Philadelphia in Week 12 — one that broke an NFL record he set just four seasons ago — FS Ed Reed credited S rookie Haruki Nakamura for pointing out that Eagles WR Reggie Brown was lined up where a tight end typically would be at the end of the line. This tipped off Reed that it wasn’t going to be a running play, and the rest is history. While the play highlighted Reed’s outstanding instincts, it also showed that Nakamura is no ordinary first-year player in that regard, too.

Re: PFW: The Way We Hear It 11/30
The strong safety actually noticed that the TE he was likely assigned to cover was not a TE, but was instead Reggie Brown? This qualifies as an especially heady play for PFW? I would think that's just part of the job description.
Re: PFW: The Way We Hear It 11/30
I wonder what the NYG punting DVOA is? Those numbers sounded crazy, 54 yards allowed on 40 punts?
Some of that information they "heard" is clearly just front offices rationalizing their moves. It is fine to print that but a tiny bit of editorial comment might be justified.

Jeff Feagles, last of the tecmo super bowl warriors. He lifts the torch a final time for his fallen brethren, before their glories are ground into the ashes of myth and legend. Hail.
Re: PFW: The Way We Hear It 11/30
They were 100 yards off; Feagles has allowed 154 yards. It is still about 100 yards better than one would have expected given his recent history.
