Emerging Talents: Lamar Miller
Evan Silva termed Miami running back Lamar Miller “the early preseason-buzz MVP.” Understandable. He’s a back whose talents reminded me of two of his University of Miami predecessors: Clinton Portis and Edgerrin James. The 2012 rookie is earning a lot of encouraging PR from his organization. With Reggie Bush leaving and third-year back Daniel Thomas not…

The Boiler Room: RB Stepfan Taylor, Stanford
One of the challenges involved with player analysis is to be succinct with delivering the goods. As the author of an annual tome, I’m often a spectacular failure in this respect. I will often study a prospect and see a play unfold that does a great job of encapsulating that player’s skills. When I witness…

Walk on The Wildside: Notes From the RSP Bunker
It’s been a productive summer and fall at the RSP Film Room. I am closing in on finishing play-by-play evaluations of 130 different skill position players as my winter vacation is ending and I thought I’d provide a few highlights of what I’ve seen this week. Most of this is lighthearted analysis in three short…

My readers appreciate these, but most of them get the publication for the front-of-the-book material. One of these reports is the Skill Breadowns that I perform by position.…
