With this:

– I did a really fun podcast (which you can listen to here) with Sigmund Bloom and Matt Waldman from Football Guys.

Interesting look at how Mississippi State prepped for Oklahoma State and then tried to switch gears when the Cowboys went to a new look they hadn’t anticipated.

Will Veatch has some very interesting stuff on the Chicago Bears’ spread offense — from 1950. Well worth a read.

– Brophy with defensive back fundamentals from Tony Dungy and 3-4 reduction defense concepts from Marvin Lewis.

Make sure to get get your orders into the Smart Football store before the season gets too far in.

Coach Vint on leverage, numbers and green grass.

Blitzology on torching offenses with the read-twist stunt.

Strong Football on the Cover 2 “Trap” Zone Blitz. Brophy also has great stuff on this blitz/coverage here.

Appreciating Ronald Coase.
