This is a great example of a bell curve.

And the NFL- Yes and a lot of positions are like a bell curve.

Depends on the position, but at edge, Myles Garrett is the A+, and then Jared Vers is B+.

I'll put him at B+, you know, B, B+.

But there's more B+'s in the league than maybe one or two A+'s in the league, and that's, that's my answer right there.

But anything that maybe you wanna add onto to that?

Yes.

And I think obviously this is, I think of everything in terms of like tiers when you're ranking things, and the bell curve is along the same principle- Yes.

Yeah that- Yeah th- it's just there's like true tier one elite players at any position, there's gonna be very, very few.

You can maybe, if you're being generous, get to like five or six, I think.

And- Yeah this is something that, I used to throw the word around elite a lot when talking, specifically talking about receivers, and now I am pretty hesitant to like ever do it, because I think it should be a small, very select group.

Like, it should be really hard to be considered there, and yet, like that- because of that, the hardest thing to do is to get into that group, for any position.

Yep, yep.

And that's why when you do 'Cause this is just how my brain works.

When I sit down and do like any tier-based ranking, I love to put it into like colors, because then you see, oh yeah, this, like- Yeah this, this purple tier or, or, or whatever color- Yeah it's really small, but this yellow tier- Mm-hmm of, yeah, like B+ players, it's starting to get bigger.

You get down to tier four, tier five- Mm-hmm it's getting really big.

There's a lot of very-- There's a lot of really just good players in the NFL at every position.

Mm-hmm.

there's very, very few elite players.

So I actually think like the hardest, one of the hardest things to do, as I said earlier, is to go from good, d- not even just good, to go from great to elite.

And I think Jared Vers is a great player, great starter, but I think Myles Garrett is elite.

So when you, you almost like do a disservice of sitting down and saying, "Well, Myles Garrett is number one, but Jared Vers is number eight if we're ranking edge players."

I'm just making up numbers off the top of my head.

Because that doesn't actually- Yeah show the gap between there, and doesn't really do it justice.

Exactly.

And that's why, like doing any sort of, even though I'm sure we're gonna do it, top 10 shows and all this, it's, it's like, it's stupid.

because the reality is, it actually doesn't show the, the delta, the gap between one and six or seven or whatever.

‘Romería’ reconstruye memorias familiares a la vera del Atlántico

De un modo u otro, toda la filmografía de Carla Simón se ha desarrollado en ambientes que ella habitó en algún momento de su vida, empezando por su cinta más conocida, “Alcarràs” (2022), que presentaba a una familia dedicada a la agricultura cuya apacible vida se veía seriamente afectada tras la inminente pérdida de sus tierras de cultivo.

Pero la cineasta catalana ha recurrido también de manera directa a experiencias personales, como lo hizo en su ópera prima, “Verano 1993” (2017), donde empleaba a un ‘alter ego’ para reconstruir lo que tuvo que atravesar siendo una niña, luego de que sus padres murieran a causa del SIDA y de que ella misma fuera adoptada por sus tíos maternos.

En ese sentido, “Romería”, que se estrena el 1ro de julio en las salas locales Laemmle Glendale y Laemmle Royal, es una suerte de secuela de aquel esfuerzo, porque tiene como protagonista a una adolescente de 18 años que quedó huérfana del mismo modo y que viaja a Vigo, la ciudad de origen de su padre, con la finalidad de conseguir un documento legal que la certifique como descendiente del fallecido y le permita acceder a la beca que necesita para emprender estudios de cine.

Una vez allí, Marina (que es el nombre de la muchacha, lo que parece querer marcar una curiosa distinción con la pequeña de “Verano 1993”, que se llamaba Frida) se reconecta con una parte de su familia que no conocía, a través de un proceso que no resulta necesariamente cómodo y que la lleva a descubrir algunos secretos no del todo placenteros.

En consonancia con su estilo sosegado y contrario al sensacionalismo, Simón evita los comportamientos excesivos y las reacciones desmedidas, optando por un naturalismo profundo en el que las acciones de los personajes se sienten siempre realistas pero que, súbitamente, empieza a darle pie a la fabulación y a la fantasía a través de una serie de ‘flashbacks falsos’ (¿o habría que llamarlos ‘reimaginaciones?’) que muestran a la intérprete de Marina (Llúcia Garcia) convertida en la madre muerta y al actor que encarna a su primo Nuno (Mitch Martín) transformado en el padre desaparecido.

Todo esto le otorga un aire poético y romántico a una cinta que, debido a la contención ya descrita, puede resultar frustrante e incluso fría para algunos espectadores, pero que hilvana con sensibilidad las relaciones entre sus participantes y extiende los hallazgos de su figura central al medio ambiente que la rodea, con frecuentes acercamientos a un océano Atlántico que sirve no solo para contrastar los recuerdos que Marina tiene del Mar Mediterráneo, sino que, a través de sus olas y su poderío, sirve además como un impetuoso telón de fondo para la turbulenta y apasionada historia de sus padres, o al menos, para el modo en que ella la imagina.

Pese a su aparente simpleza, “Romería” tiene varios niveles narrativos, dramáticos y visuales, entre los que figuran, por ejemplo, las denuncias que realiza sobre el modo equivocado en que la sociedad española trató a las víctimas del SIDA y de la heroína, o la inserción de las imágenes que la protagonista captura durante sus recorridos mediante el empleo de una cámara que se encuentra completamente justificada debido a la fascinación que ella tiene por el oficio que planea estudiar.

Esta vez, en lugar de usar únicamente a actores no profesionales, como lo había hecho anteriormente, Simón apela a intérpretes de larga trayectoria, a algunos que ya habían hecho algo antes y a debutantes completos, como es el caso de la ya citada Garcia, quien, a pesar de que no había estado antes en un set, no tiene problema alguno para comandar el reparto con su simpatía, su desenvolvimiento espontáneo ante la cámara y su capacidad para transmitir mucho sin hacer demasiado. Por ese lado, no es gratuito que fuera nominada como Mejor Actriz Revelación en la edición 2026 de los Premios Goya.

4 Eagles Players In Line For A Breakout 2026 Season -- Who Is The Next Moro Ojomo?

These Eagles players are set to breakout this season, and are getting the opportunity Jeff Kerr|

In this story:

Philadelphia Eagles

Every season, there is a player or two on the Philadelphia Eagles that has a breakout campaign.

Last year there were three: Jordan Davis, Moro Ojomo, and Jalyx Hunt

Davis was one of the top defensive tackles in the game. He ranked second amongst defensive tackles in total tackles (72) and second in batted passes (6). Davis was the first Eagles player in franchise history to earn NFC Defensive Player of the Week and NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors in the same season.

Ojomo had 6.0 sacks, 49 pressures, 12 quarterback hits, and a pressure rate of 11.6% as the No. 3 defensive tackle behind Davis and Jalen Carter. Both Ojomo and Davis are stalwarts on the Eagles defense.

Hunt was the first Eagles player in franchise history to lead the team in sacks (6.5) and INT (3) in the same season. He had a 16.9% pressure rate last season and finished with 52 tackles, 24 quarterback hits, three pass breakups, and 55 pressures.

Who are going to be the breakout players on the Eagles this year? Who is in line for that breakout campaign?

Here are four to look out for.

Jihaad Campbell (LB)

Campbell is getting the opportunity to start after the Eagles let Nakobe Dean walk in free agency. He filled in for Dean as a rookie last season, as Campbell finished with 80 tackles and a forced fumble. He also finished with the fourth-highest coverage grade amongst all NFL linebackers (78.6, minimum 600 snaps).

Playing next to an All-Pro linebacker in Zack Baun will significantly help Campbell. Linebackers also thrive in Vic Fangio's defense, another plus for Campbell in his first year as the starter.

If Campbell plays near the level of Dean, the Eagles will arguably have the best defense in the league -- and another young star.

Andrew Mukuba (S)

Another player heading into his second year in the league, Mukuba is coming back from a fractured ankle and fibula that ended his rookie campaign. Mukuba had 46 tackles, 2 INT, and a 0.5 sack in 11 games (10 starts), showing his ability to be a playmaking safety in Fangio's defense.

A full season as the starter in a secondary with Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, and Tariq Woolen should elevate Mukuba's game even further. Mukuba is the top safety on the Eagles and should be able to create turnovers with the Eagles having three shutdown cornerbacks.

This is a big year for Mukuba, especially with the safety position in flux.

Tyler Steen (RG)

Steen had a good first season as the starting right guard, enough where the Eagles wouldn't bring in veteran competition this offseason. He'll be the starting right guard in 2026, and opportunity to perform with a healthy offensive line.

If Cam Jurgens and Lane Johnson are healthy, Steen will get an opportunity to thrive with two Pro Bowl players next to him. Imagine how good Steen can be playing next to future Hall of Fame right tackle Lane Johnson next to him.

The Eagles are high on Steen for a reason. He'll get his oppportunity to show that in 2026.

Dontayvion Wicks (WR)

Wicks is the wild card of the bunch here, since he's a relative unknown with an elevated role in the Eagles offense.

More targets for Wicks are coming, as he's the frontrunner to win the WR2 job. There will be a lot of pressure on Wicks to replace DeVonta Smith as the WR2, but experience in the Green Bay Packers offense (Sean Mannion was on the coaching staff) will help alleviate that pressure.

There are a lot of reservations whether Wicks is a good player. If he can catch passes consistently, Wicks will provide a much-needed boost to the passing game. The Eagles are betting that will be the case.

A big season could be in store for Wicks, which would be massive for the Eagles if it materializes.
