RSPWP2: Waldman’s Early Thoughts

I love this draft. It has defensive-minded Jene Bramel taking gunslinger Jay Cutler, yours truly ditching offense for two monolithic bad boys with wheels on the defensive line, and Football Outsiders’ founder Aaron Schatz talking intangibles. Intangibles! I have to admit, this project is a lot more fun that I even anticipated. The writers we have… Read More ›

The RSP Writers Project is a collection of football writers, analysts, and former scouts who participate in a now-annual event designed to share thoughts about pro football through an exercise.

Matt Miller's Q&A is more economic than many, but one detail he provided that his peers haven't thus far is position coaches. Josh McDaniels is one of them. Photo by Jeffery Beall.

Matt Waldman’s RSP Writer’s Team Q&A

I will have two teams in this project because I had too much fun just building one. I’m also learning too much from the process to build just one. If you’ve tried building a team, I think you know what I mean. However, I’ll make this squad my official roster despite how much I like… Read More ›

RSP Writers Project Q&A: DraftBreakdown.com’s Eric Stoner

There was a lot of quality football knowledge emanating from the roster presentations and interviews last week. Former All-Pac-10 offensive lineman and Football Outsider’s columnist Ben Muth gave a mini clinic on assembling and scheming a power running game when presenting his team. The Guardian’s Cian Fahey demonstrated the confidence to take on a reclamation… Read More ›

Dynasty Rogues Writer Nick Whalen’s RSP Team Q&A

Nick Whalen unveiled a team that wants to beat you up on both side of the ball. I love it. As with all the teams we’ve see thus far, there are discernible holes that could derailthis freight train offense and big, bad defense. However, I love the approach Whalen takes – giving the middle finger… Read More ›

Muth authors an offensive line-centric column at Football Outsiders titled Word of Muth. Check out Muth’s blog and follow him on Twitter at #FO_wordofmuth.

Football Outsiders Columnist Ben Muth’s RSP Team

Ben Muth is a former offensive lineman. He played at Stanford for five years, lettered for four years, started for two, and he was first-team All Pac-10 as a senior. But Muth is quick to point out – as any team-oriented player in a team-first sport that Stanford lost too many football games during his… Read More ›
