  • RSP Boiler Room No.5: WR Sterling Shepard, Oklahoma

    RSP Boiler Room No.5: WR Sterling Shepard, Oklahoma

    Profiling the versatile Shepard on a vertical route. The Boiler Room is a series featuring analysis that I would hypothetically share with NFL decision makers if I was asked to find a handful of plays that illustrates the talent, skills, limitations, and future potential of NFL prospects. This week’s episode highlights why the first 5-15 yards are…

  • RSP Film Room No.60: Notre Dame RB C.J. Prosise w/Brandon Howard

    RSP Film Room No.60: Notre Dame RB C.J. Prosise w/Brandon Howard

    Sports Talk Florida’s Miami Dolphins Insider Brandon Howard joins the show for a look at the versatile C.J. Prosise Brandon Howard was a running back at West Virginia around the time Adam Jones and Chris Henry were dominating the Mountaineers’ scene. Howard requested we study Notre Dame’s starting back and Prosise sparked good discussion about…

  • RSP Film room No.55: Ohio State DT Adolphus Washington

    RSP Film room No.55: Ohio State DT Adolphus Washington

    Part II of a comparative analysis with Ryan Riddle featuring two DT prospects against Alabama’s offensive line.  Riddle and I spent two hours watching Washington and Ole Miss’ Robert Nkemdiche against Alabama. We learned a lot about both players who have similar dimensions on paper, but the tape showed a lot of differences. I split…

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

    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…

  • RSP Film Room No.36: WR-Return Specialist Ty Montgomery

    RSP Film Room No.36: WR-Return Specialist Ty Montgomery

    Emory Hunt stops by the RSP Film Room to present his case for Stanford return specialist and receiver Ty Montgomery. Hunt and I are on opposite ends of the spectrum with Montgomery. We both value his skill as a return man, open field runner, and change-up to the run game. We differ on his value…

  • RSP Film Room No.33: TCU LB Paul Dawson

    RSP Film Room No.33: TCU LB Paul Dawson

    Among Eric Stoner’s talents is his experience playing and coaching linebackers. The contributing writer for the RSP blog joined me Sunday morning for a look at Dawson, who was considered a top linebacker prospect before his disappointing combine performance. Should we throw out the numbers or does the tape underscore the data? Here are some…

  • RSP Film Room No.32: Kenny Bell Redux w/Turron Davenport

    RSP Film Room No.32: Kenny Bell Redux w/Turron Davenport

    How does one evaluate physical and mental toughness? Watch Turron Davenport and I study three games of Nebraska WR and Combine Stud Kenny Bell.  Film session No.32 is the second time I’ve featured Kenny Bell, but even if you saw the first session there’s more to see from the second look. This second look mimics…

  • RSP Film Room No.26: WR Jaelen Strong w/Jeff Lloyd

    RSP Film Room No.26: WR Jaelen Strong w/Jeff Lloyd

    Strong isn’t flashy, but Jeff Lloyd and I show you why this Sun Devil’s ability to flash clean, simple execution makes him a prospect with game that should be pro ready sooner than later.   RESN analyst Jeff Lloyd learned how to play wide receiver under former Oregon State offensive coordinator John Garrett. Lloyd visited the RSP…

  • RSP Film Room No.22: DE Shawn Oakman (Baylor)

    RSP Film Room No.22: DE Shawn Oakman (Baylor)

    Shawn Oakman will surely earn serious consideration on physical potential alone. See what he’ll need to address at the next level.  He’s built like the ultimate professional wrestling heel and plays that positional equivalent in football. However, when does having a comic book body become an asset or liability for a player like Baylor defensive…

  • RSP Film Room No.21: Auburn QB Nick Marshall

    RSP Film Room No.21: Auburn QB Nick Marshall

    Auburn coach Gus Malzahn says Nick Marshall can become an NFL quarterback. Alex Brown of Optimum Scouting and I watch the QB and discuss. As quick as I’m offering you a chance to study Nick Marshall, I’m asking you to forget him for a brief moment. Watch this film room session because you’re going to…
