For the second straight week I will not be looking at a specific player for analysis but rather a team. Last week we checked out the Seahawks “Cover 3Hawk.” The Chiefs are a much different breed in their ever changing defense. Chiefs excel in showing several different defensive formations. Chiefs, with the injury to Atkins, […]

Why it’s time to blow up the Rams (and why that won’t happen)
Rather than some short writeups across the league this week, I decided to take a more in-depth look at a situation that, as a fan of good football, bugs me. The St. Louis Rams have, under head coach Jeff Fisher and GM Les Snead, taken a team that was possibly the absolute worst in the […]
A look into Jordan Cameron
I went into the tape for Jordan Cameron not looking for anything in particular. He is a player who has exploded onto the scene after having a huge preseason and carrying that momentum into the season. Cameron’s bulk production is way, way up from last year. He caught 20 passes for 226 yards and 1 […]
Green Bay’s Running Game with Eddie Lacy
A talking point of many analysts right now is how the Packers will rebound with the Randall Cobb injury. A major point that many analysts are keying on is the running game that the Packers may have finally found. They’ve had a 100 yard rusher in 3 of their last 4 games, all 3 games […]
A look at Cam Newton against Arizona
One of the interesting questions of the early part of this season is “What is the problem with Cam Newton?” Cam is in his third season and is undoubtedly struggling. His bulk numbers are not good so far this season: Attempts: 127 Completion%: 57.5 Interceptions: 5 Interception%: 3.9 Yards/Attempt: 7.0 ANY/A: 4.67 Sack%: 10.6 All […]
What should the Texans do?
Yesterday’s 23-20 overtime loss to Seattle was a microcosm of Gary Kubiak’s tenure in Houston: A mostly-well-executed bread-and-butter game combined with a failure to turn opportunities into points and a fatal predictability on offense that sabotaged the team in the most important moments of the game. It’s a pattern that’s been with Kubiak’s teams since […]
DeMarcus Ware: Transition from OLB to 4-3 DE
Monte Kiffin was hired by the Cowboys to be their Defensive Coordinator despite some red flags: He was 73 years old, and he’d been unimpressive at his last two stops at the University of Tennessee and University of Southern California. (To be fair, head coach Lane Kiffin was probably a much bigger cause of those […]
Indianapolis Colts: Protecting Andrew Luck
In April 2012, the Colts drafted Andrew Luck and, in doing so, found another elite level franchise quarterback. By January 2013, it became clear that the Colts needed to find a way to protect that asset. In the 2012 season, the Colts offensive line gave up 112 quarterback hits, 21 more than any other offensive […]
Analyzing the Trent Richardson trade
Our first reaction is: Wow. No one anywhere can say they saw this one coming, maybe not even Jim Irsay himself.
Five Questions: St. Louis Rams
The Rams are continuing to rebuild the roster in the second year of coach Jeff Fisher and GM Les Snead’s new regime. They’re in a difficult division, though, and will have to square off against two of the best teams in the NFL four times in total, as well as a Cardinals team that seems […]
