RSP Boiler Room No.41: WR Cooper Kupp
Cooper Kupp’s 246-yard, 3-TD performance against Oregon is a display of a receiver with an integrated arsenal of moves with his hands and feet. The video below does not have audio narration. I experimented with closed caption/subtitles. If you watch these regularly, tell me what you think of this variation (love it/hate it/indifferent). Here’s the…

Waldman riffs on his strategy and broader points about team-building in a recent staff dynasty league mock.

RSP Boiler Room No.40: Low Rider, RB Leon Allen
This clip from Western Kentucky’s 6’0″, 235-lb. runner is no highlight, but it’s the kind of play that keeps highlight makers on the field. Short-yardage plays have their own special category in football–especially for runners. One of the most important traits of a great short-yardage runner is finding small creases and exploiting them.

RSP Boiler Room No.39: RB Shock Linwood, Space Player
One-on-one work in space involves a strong integration of physical skills and on-field awareness. Linwood has it. I need to see more exposures of Linwood’s top-end speed and how he executes a greater variety of play calls before I have a definitive opinion on his NFL prospects.
