Waldman: North and South Day 3
Thoughts on Team Practices This Week The atmosphere of the two practices on Day 3 were polar opposites. The North squad operated at a slower pace and intensity on Thursday despite it being a padded practice. Although the coaching staff ran its players through many of the same drills, the pace and intensity wasn’t nearly…

Matt Waldman Day 2: North and South
Matt Waldman views Day 2 as part of a week-long process. Several player takes inside, including game-tape examples from other contests.

Sr. Bowl RB Roundtable Part II (Cobb, Langford & Abdullah)

What I’m Seeking at the 2015 Senior Bowl
Sure, I’m here for the prospects, but it’s far from the only reason. There are several dozen sites providing a strength/weakness introduction to this week’s Senior Bowl rosters. If you’re reading me then you’re probably reading many of them. Tonight, I’ll layout what I’m seeking this week from the pregame events. I’m not listing these…

Telegraphing: TE Wes Saxton
I’m a believer that it’s easier to enhance a player’s strengths. A well-timed stiff-arm could enhance Wes Saxton’s game. During my RSP Film Room episode with Chad Spann, I asked the pro running back what was involved with executing a good stiff-arm.
