A few weeks ago on Monday night football, Drew Brees broke the all time passing yardage record. It was a pretty cool moment that brought Saints fans to tears (okay, well it was really just one guy, but still). I've always been a fan of Brees, and I feel like his greatness has often gone...

Analyzing the offensive playcalling from Bears Vs Seahawks
Kind of crazy to think, just a couple of years ago the Seahawks were super bowl contenders, while the Bears were the laughing stock of the league. Now Chicago's coming off a game where they beat Seattle fairly dominantly. It just goes to show noting is fully consistent in the NFL, ... well except for... Continue Reading →
Analyzing the offensive playcalling from Cowboys Vs Giants 9/16
You've got to love the annual Giants verses Cowboys Sunday night game. It's one of the rare times when Cris Collinsworth can talk about the Odell Beckham catch without it seeming completely out of place. The game wasn't exactly an offensive explosion, however it did start with a boom. Dallas ran their first two plays... Continue Reading →
Analyzing the offensive playcalling from Chiefs Vs Steelers
If you like scoring, this was the game for you. These two teams racked up 778 total passing yards and 79 total points. If you don't like scoring, well I'm not really sure what to tell you. Football's probably not the right sport for you, I'd suggest watching soccer. Or maybe the Arizona Cardinals. The... Continue Reading →
Analyzing the offensive playcalling from Jaguars Vs Patriots Week 2
It's kind of crazy to think just one year ago Jacksonville was a laughing stock, and now they just beat the Patriots, and nobody's too surprised about it. The Jaguars started things off by using plenty of singleback sets (your standard set with 3 receivers,a tight end and a fullback). 12 of Jacksonville's first 17... Continue Reading →
Analyzing the offensive playcalling from Vikings Vs Packers
Breaking down a tie is weird. Often times the thesis' for these articles are easy to come up with, I can just look at all of the decisions the losing team made and make a big deal out of the ones that didn't work, and then do the opposite for the winning team. Now I... Continue Reading →
Analyzing the Offensive Playcalling from Texans Vs Patriots
Another game, another Patriots win. New England has been so dominant over the past few seasons, and they started the 2018 season off with yet another win, beating Houston by 7. While many just say, well of course the Patriots won and move on, I'm going to take a closer look into how they won,... Continue Reading →
Week 1 MVP: Ryan Fitzpatrick
There were plenty of candidates for MVP of week one. Both Aaron Rodgers and Kahlil Mack had huge games on the first Sunday night game. Reshad Jones, Denzel Ward and Bradley McDougald all had multiple interceptions. Most weeks I would've given it to Drew Brees, who threw for 434 yards and 3 touchdowns, and Philip Rivers had...

Analyzing the offensive play calling from Rams Vs Raiders 9/10
One of the biggest storylines going into this Monday Night Football game was Jon Gruden. It's been 10 years since he last coached in the NFL, and many wondered how he'd be able make play calls in today's NFL. The first drive Oakland started off strong, often mixing up personnel. They went with a 5... Continue Reading →
Analyzing the Defensive Playcalling from Lions Vs Jets 9/10
I think when many saw that the Lions were going to be playing the Jets on Monday Night Football, a lopsided victory was expected. However I doubt many thought New York was going to come away with a 31 point victory. A lot of blame fell on rookie head coach Matt Patricia. Colin Cowherd made the... Continue Reading →
