Three-Cone Drill Podcast
Rivers McCown and Danny Tuccitto have a fun podcast that delves into football and beyond. I think the “beyond” is why they enjoy having me on the Three-Cone Drill. Zook watched enough sub par quarterbacks this year to earn the surgery that he needed. The RSP’s loyal assistant left parts of his teeth in the…

Futures: Kentucky Edge Men Bud Dupree and Za’Darius Smith
By Matt Waldman Football is simple. It’s a game of running, hitting, throwing, and catching. And in this simple worldview of the game, Bud Dupree and Za’Darius Smith are incredibly similar football players. Both are big, strong athletes with the job of protecting the edge of a defense while threatening the edge of the offense.…

Odell Beckham in Hindsight and Performance Theory
Late in the year, SB Nation writer and former NFL defensive lineman Stephen White tweeted that no one knew that Odell Beckham would be this good. A follower of mine responded to this Tweet and told him that I did, referring to my February 4, 2013 post, Six Plays That Make Me a Fan of Odell Beckham’s Game. …

Boiler Room: UGA WR Chris Conley
For many, the highlight of Christian Conley’s Georgia career was this 26-minute video: Not that Conley is bad at football, but most people were more familiar with Conley’s Star Wars fan film than they were with his athletic exploits until Saturday. After last weekend’s Combine, where Conley posted a record-setting broad jump, a 45-inch vertical,…

RSP Film Room No.29: UCLA DE Owamagbe Odighizuwa
DraftBreakdown.com writer John Owning joins the program and brings with him the tape of a man my in-laws would probably call “Godzilla” as a shorthand for his full name Owamagbe Odighizuwa (O-diggy-zu-wa). And man does Godzilla wreak havoc on offensive tackles in this episode of the film room. Owning, a jiu-jitsu instructor and a trained…

Futures: The Inner Game & the 2015 Class
I host a weekly show on YouTube called The RSP Film Room. I suppose this is an indirect promo, but that’s not the intent. There’s a larger point to broaching it here. Typically 60 to 80 minutes long, the show is a Google Hangout where two football analysts watch a prospect’s cutups. We comment on…

Storify: DeVante Parker vs. NC State
How a 9-132-0 game should have been an 11-192-2 output. It’s mostly about releases and stems. I was watching yet another game of DeVante Parker earlier this morning and decided to tweet what I saw. What you’ll discover in this Storify post is a scary-good athlete who relies too much on his athleticism (can you…

Sigmund Bloom’s On the Couch Podcast
I drop by Bloom’s joint to remove the plastic seat covers he used for Dane Brugler (you know, nice company and all…) and make myself at home again on Bloom’s popular Footballguy’s podcast. Topics: Are Mariota and Winston worth a high first round pick? Team building philosophy of first-round QB vs. other pivotal pieces. Why…

Boiler Room: CSU RB Dee Hart
Continuing the theme of a play revealing the right questions to ask, here’s one from the intriguing Dee Hart. I’ve been studying tape with a defined process for 11 years–not as long as some, but long enough to begin to anticipate certain outcomes to player decision-making. It’s always fun when a player surprises me. Colorado…
