I join Rivers McCown of VICE and Danny Tuccitto of Footballguys at the Three-Cone Drill to talk all things football and a lot more.

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 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.

RSP Film Room No.51: PSU QB Christian Hackenberg
Emory Hunt requested a hot-button prospect and your votes were for the Penn State quarterback. Neither Emory Hunt or I had watched Christian Hackenberg closely, but some fans and media consider the quarterback the best prospect at his position. Draft Breakdown’s Jeff Risdon suggested the Indiana game as an “eye-opening” example of the passer. We…

Matt Waldman’s QB to Defend the Planet: Brett Favre
There is no other earthling better suited to defend our planet against the unknown than Brett Favre. Super Bowl wins and playoff records as criteria for quarterback greatness?

The Gut Check No.333: Pivot Players
1+19=20 . . . 12+8=20 . . . 4+16=20 . . . There are lots of paths that lead to the same outcome. It is the same with preparing a draft strategy. As long as it’s a systematic method of travel–projections, average draft position, tiers, etc.–a fantasy owner will build a strong foundation towards a…
