Three teenagers were arrested in San Francisco this week for allegedly robbing a man of his shooter at gunpoint.

San Francisco police said on Saturday that a 16-year-old male and two 18-year-olds were identified as suspects in the armed robbery, which took place on Sunday at about 1:45 a.m.

Jefferson Galo and Jephson Galo, both 18-year-old San Francisco residents, were arrested on allegations of possessing an illegal firearm, conspiracy, carjacking, and other accusations.

The name of the juvenile suspect was not released.

The victim was on his scooter in the 300 block of Bayview Boulevard when he was surrounded by the assailants, who prevented him from fleeing, police said.

The suspects were located at Nevada Street and Cortland Avenue, where police allegedly found them with handguns in their possession. Property was then allegedly found that belonged to the victim, along with other potentially stolen property, according to police.

San Francisco police asked anyone with information about the case to contact the police department at (415) 575-4444.

The Denver Broncos entered the 2024 season with more questions than answers on the roster. Without a doubt the biggest question that is still far from being answered is figuring out whether rookie Bo Nix is capable of being a long-term franchise quarterback for the organization.

That remains the most important thing for Denver to attempt to figure out this season, perhaps even more important than squeaking into the playoffs with a team feeling the dead-cap ramifications of the Russell Wilson release and so little premium selections on the roster (only five first-round picks on this roster in total).

Finding out whether Nix can become a quality quarterback for the Broncos isn’t the only area George Paton, Sean Payton, and the decision-makers will hope to find answers throughout this season. 

Given Denver has so much dead cap, is dealing with the downstream effects of prior trades (trading up in the draft multiple times in 2023, acquiring Wilson, trading for Payton, and is still paying for several bad draft classes toward the end of John Elway’s tenure as the GM), the Broncos have a vast number of relatively inexperienced young players playing key roles on Sundays.

Can a young receiver step up out of Devaughn Vele, Troy Franklin, and Marvin Mims Jr. to help give Nix another weapon to complement the veterans? Can Denver find anything from the tight end position from Greg Dulcich or other young options?

Will Luke Wattenberg grow this season, or will he continue to be one of the worst centers in football, leaving a gaping hole on the expensive offensive line? Can any rookie contract running back do something?

Unfortunately, through three games, the Broncos have not had positive results from most young options on the offensive side of the ball. There is a lot of football to go luckily.

Thankfully, the defense has been on the other end of the spectrum for Denver. Zach Allen is playing at a Pro Bowl level, Jonathon Cooper is so disruptive it might make sense to get him locked up to stay in Denver before free agency, Jonah Elliss and Nik Bonitto also look formidable in the edge room.

Ja’Quan McMillian appears to have recaptured some of his mid-2023 season play after tailing off last year. The one unknown, though, thrust into an incredibly important spot that has emphatically flashed ability and competence through the start of the season is second-year starting boundary cornerback Riley Moss. 

After trading up with the Seattle Seahawks to the 83rd overall selection in the 2023 draft, giving up the 108th selection in 2023 and a 2024 third-rounder that would end up as pick 81 overall, Denver selected the sturdy, ball-hawking Moss out of the University of Iowa. While Iowa had produced several solid defensive players over the last decade under defensive coordinator Phil Parker, the boundary cornerback position had been one of misfires.

Josh Jackson, Desmond King, and Michael Ojemudia were all solid cornerbacks for Iowa in college. Still, none seemed to translate to the NFL in large part due to the scheme Iowa had run historically.

Plenty of solid defensive backs from the Hawkeyes had translated to safety or slot such as aforementioned King, Micah Hyde, Geno Stone, Armani Hooker, and Dane Belton. Still, the boundary corner spot has been one spot where Iowa cornerbacks were unable to hang playing in the league.

Through three games though, it does appear like Moss is set to break that trend. Measuring at 6-foot-2, 193 pounds with tremendous speed at a 4.45-second 40 time, a 1.48-second 10-yard split, a 39-inch vertical jump, and a 127-inch broad jump, Moss tested tremendously in all areas outside of his arm length at a very short (8th percentile) 30 inches.

Perhaps that lack of length has shown itself a few times as Moss had had nearly perfect coverage and positioning, but the ball manages to squirt past him for a hard-fought completion. Overall, the play on the field has matched Moss’ athletic testing numbers.

While Moss may not have good measurable length, he has good mass for a cornerback. That has shown itself on the field as he has been a very solid tackler through three games.

Moss has been credited with 16 tackles so far this year via Pro Football Focus and has missed just two in contrast to five run stops. The Broncos are still awaiting Moss’ first career interception, something he did 11 times for the Hawkeyes, including returning three for touchdowns. He did force his first fumble last this week on an excellent tackle.

The sample size is very small and cornerback can be a very fickle position, but to date, Moss has answered the call on what is one of the hardest tasks in the NFL: playing cornerback opposite arguably the best in football — Patrick Surtain II.

Despite being targeted 16 times this season, Moss has only surrendered 100 yards and just 30 yards after completion. These stats may seem ordinary until you consider the fact that Denver is playing man coverage as much as any team in the NFL outside of Jacksonville and is blitzing at the highest rate in the league.

In other words, Moss is not getting nearly the help in coverage teams utilizing more passive rush and cover schemes are calling, and the ramifications of a missed tackle and allowing YAC are far more dire with more bodies rushing in front of him and fewer bodies providing help in coverage behind him.

Will Moss be able to keep up his performances, including being PFF’s highest graded corner in the entire NFL week 3 at 91.1? Maybe, maybe not.

Moss has been healthy so far this season but he missed time in college and much of his rookie season with injury. Injury at the cornerback position can be argued is more detrimental than almost any other sport given the type of quick-twitch open space reactionary athleticism required to play the position (and one reason play at the position tends to fall off a cliff as they age).

The Broncos have question after question on the roster entering this season with more uncertainty than answers at a number of positions through the first three weeks of the season. Finding a cornerback worthy of playing opposite Surtain could have been argued as one of the most important questions on the roster going forward, outside of everything involving Nix and the quarterback position.

There is a lot of football yet to be played this season. Still, the returns on Denver trying to find an additional boundary cornerback on the roster (and one on a rookie contract with control through 2026 at that) appear to be trending very positively for Moss.

There have been plenty of encouraging trends for the Seattle Seahawks during their 3-0 start under new head coach Mike Macdonald.

Klatt: Why Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald isn’t just a defensive guru

Through the first three weeks, there’s one trend that has particularly impressed Seahawks Radio Network analysts Ray Roberts and Dave Wyman: The ability for Seattle’s coaching staff to make successful in-game adjustments.

Roberts, a former NFL offensive lineman, elaborated Thursday on Seattle Sports’ Bump and Stacy.

“When things have started out pretty ugly and they have a plan that doesn’t seem to be working, they can go deeper into their bag and find the things that do work so that you can win the games,” Roberts said. “… I feel like in the past, there’s been times when the game plan isn’t working, but there’s no adjustment. It just seems like you just kind of banged your head against the wall trying to make it work.

“And these dudes have been able to come out and go like, ‘OK, that didn’t look the way we thought it was going to look, or that’s not working the way we thought it was going to work, so we’re going to try this other thing.’ And those other things have been working.”

Wyman, a former NFL linebacker, shared a similar perspective Thursday on Seattle Sports’ Wyman and Bob.

“One of my favorite things about this team so far is their ability to adapt within a game,” Wyman said. “(The Seahawks) under Pete (Carroll), lots of good seasons. … But I just felt like once something went wrong, it was gonna go wrong all game. And this team has (shown) an ability to change things.”

In Week 1, Seattle’s offensive line struggled mightily in pass protection during a disastrous first half. After the break, the Seahawks pivoted to a run-heavy attack that resulted in a big day from running back Kenneth Walker III and a 17-point second half that helped them pull away.

In Week 2, Seattle got burned early on by New England tight end Hunter Henry, who had seven catches for 98 yards in the first half. After the break, the Seahawks held him to just one catch for 11 yards. Seattle also struggled against the Patriots’ rushing attack for much of the game, but came up with a massive third-and-1 run stop in overtime that helped lead to the victory.

And in Week 3, after the Seahawks’ offense grew stagnant in the second and third quarters, Geno Smith began heavily targeting the tight ends. That helped Seattle’s offense gain some traction, and on the ensuing drive, Smith led a game-sealing 98-yard touchdown march the put the game away.

“For them to be able to make those types of adjustments on offense and defense, that’s stuff that you can hang your hat on,” Roberts said. “Those are people that are recognizing what’s happening, understanding what needs to get done and then being willing to come off of what they had planned to do, to go to something that’s going to put the team in a better position to win.”

And though halftime adjustments can certainly be beneficial, Wyman explained that it’s even more valuable if a coaching staff can make adjustments on the sidelines during the game.

“People on TV would always say, ‘Oh, it’s the halftime adjustment,’” Wyman said. “But as a player, you go in, you’ve gotta check with the trainer and then a coach draws something up on the board, and like three minutes later you’ve gotta go back out.

“But if you’re able to do that stuff on the sidelines where all the bombs are going off around you, then that’s where it’s really valuable. And I think that’s where they have really improved. And that’s the coaching staff.”
