The Chiefs kicker launched himself into a culture war.

I apologize for this taking awhile to get out but gravity hasn’t been functioning properly since last Monday night, and it’s hard to type when your feet won’t touch the ground. I was also trying to wrap my head around all of the parts of Michigan’s pass defense to show you, until I realized that’s going to require an entire UFR (that and the Rose Bowl one forthcoming). So let’s do something simple that you can show your friends and relatives for equal enjoyment, that being the Michig...

Going through with my first re-watch of the game last night, and wanted to make a post to go over what I'm seeing on the first drive in terms of playcalling from Zac and how/why it worked so well. ...

Just watched that string of bad plays on defense in the 2nd Q and...w00f. They started game well enough on that first drive, forcing 3 separate 3rd downs before getting a sack and holding them...

Why is this coming out in May? Because I need the grades for HTTV. Why isn't Brian doing it? Because it's May. Where's the B1GCG? Brian already charted it, will write it up soon. FORMATION NOTES: TCU runs out a 3-3-5 base personnel with a couple of hybrids, and moves them around for different looks. Often one of the hybrids is a 3rd safety, but one (or both) can also become 3-4 OLBs. It's most obvious against this covered formation: This also lent itself to something like Min...

The Grizzlies superstar is at a crossroads.

Main Street (next to where the Bo Store was) with the Sklar Brothers.

We'll get pizza and drinks, and have a Q&A, and one of those questions can be "Brian do your old standup rou...

Things discussed: The JJing: A perfect performance, so we nitpick the throw to Bell. Wanted more: threw the post that nobody usually throws and got a TD. Froze LBs and safeties. The post to Cornelius Johnson too. (Watch Devin & Al's film study this week.) Effect on the offense: opens up a lot of things that didn't work last year, like Split Flow. The Split Zone package was probably JJ's package either way but it is lethal when they run the counters (Read Ace's One Frame A...
