    RSP Film Room No.59: LSU WR Travin Dural

    Saturday2Sunday Podcast host Matt Caraccio joins the program for a two-game study of LSU receiver Travin Dural. No doubt a deep threat, Dural’s game has potential to offer more than the go route and the post.

    RSP Film Room No.58: QB Connor Cook, Michigan St. w/Will Hewlett

    I love watching football with Will Hewlett. You’d think a QB coach would be so technique-focused that he wouldn’t appreciate passers deviating from the game plan, scheme, or most of all technique. But the QB coach with the Range Training views players with a balanced perspective on what makes a great quarterback and one of…

    RSP Boiler Room: The Corner Store

    Today’s film room profiles the unnecessary trip to the corner store.  Most of us have a favorite corner store in our neighborhood. We go there for gas, cigarettes, junk food, energy drinks, beer, lottery tickets, you name it. Nothing there is really good for us, but we can’t resist the temptation. In football the “corner…

    RSP Boiler Room Video No.4: TCU RB Aaron Green…Less Pretty, More Gritty

    Aaron Green’s 7.1 yards per carry on 129 touches last year for the Horned Frogs epitomizes Saturday pretty. This week’s RSP Boiler Room examines whether the 5-11, 202-pound Green has what it takes to be Sunday gritty. The Boiler Room is a series featuring analysis that I would hypothetically share with NFL decision makers if I…

    RSP Film Room No.52: QB Carson Wentz w/Mark Schofield

    The RSP Film Room had a great guest, a fine prospect, and an excellent game. Inside the Pylon’s Mark Schofield chose Carson Wentz a few weeks ago when I asked the writer and former D-III QB to join me in the RSP Film Room. Neither Schofield nor Wentz disappointed. We watch the championship game between…
