    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. There are some good examples of good plays from Dural’s tape that offer an analyst encouragement about the receiver’s…

    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.

    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.
