We have an IDP conversation going in the Shark Pool about our coverage for the coming year. As many of you may already know Jene is unfortunately not going to be contributing on the IDP side this year. Thus we are revamping our coverage a little to ensure our customers continue to get the best...

I missed this one in this week's EOTG but wanted to mention the guy before Sunday. Jordan is the big name that everyone is watching in Miami, so no one is talking about Shelby. He is a second year guy who has played sparingly (37 snaps) in the first two games, but he is 3-1-2 with a pair of...

Just thought I would throw out my thoughts on this one. first I am a little surprised that Jerry Jones didn't send a golden jet to whisk him away before he could sign. I am a little surprised that Abraham signed with a 3-4 team, so the first thing I want to know is his role. So far the...

It may not be a given that the Texans go back to a 3-4 if Phillips is hired, but Phillips is a 3-4 guy so the chances are good that they will. This could have big implications for Mario Williams and Brian Cushing in particular. Will Williams be another miscast OLB project or will his talents be...

Thought this one should be it's own threadI'm not sure how he could be ranked that low. He's a top 20 safety in every league I play in despite the lacking tackle numbers over the past few weeks. Before you give up on him look at the competition he's faced recently. (TB, Oak, Was). Even with...

There are some interesting and important notes from this game, particularly for the Lions where we needed some answers. The Lions seem to be playing right and left OLB rather than strong weak. Ernie Sims is working on the left which is most often the strong side, with Julian Peterson on the...

In this weeks EOTG I promised to break down the Cardinals week 3 game and this is what I learned. My recording started at 11:16 to go in the 1st quarter so I missed a few plays. Give or take a couple of plays, the scheme breakdown looked like this. Arizona was in a 3-4 roughly 28 snaps, a 4-3...

There are a lot of people trying to figure out what to expect from the Dallas players this year and Zach Thomas in particular. Maybe this will help although it may not be what you want to hear. Thomas may be part of the nickel package but the Cowboys don't seem to be using a nickel. In passing...

One more before I call it a day. There has been a lot of speculation when it comes to the Chiefs so here is what pre-season game 1 tells us. Donnie Edwards sat out so the starting linebackers were Pat Thomas in the middle, Derrick Johnson on the right and Demorrio Williams on the left. Thomas...

I've always been a Parcells fan and you can sure see his mark on this club. In true Tuna fashion, it doesn't matter how good a player is supposed to be. It's put up or get out of the way and there are going to be a lot of new faces. This is what jumped out at me... There is no more "hybrid"...

Let me start by saying that NFL network is the greatest thing since the discovery of fire :IBTL: Nothing like sitting back on a Saturday afternoon and reviewing game films in HD with rewind and pause. Anyway, this is what I learned from this game: Justin Tuck was not a mirage last season...

Most of us expected the Cards to take another step toward a full time 3-4 scheme. The first defense played 2 series tonight. including penalty snaps it broke down like this: they lined up in a 3-4 ten times, a 4-3 five times, the nickel four and the dime twice. Bert Berry was a stand up OLB in...

:confused: Just wanted to let everyone know that I already caught the typo's in this weeks initial cheats. Somewhere along the line I put in incorrect player IDs. I'll figure it out and get an update in this evening to fix it. My apologies

OK, I'm sure I'll catch some grief over this announcement after what I wrote in this weeks EOTG. After the Falcons were run over last weekend it's not a real big surprise that Hartwell is playing but the guy hasn't taken a snap in months so I never would have expected him to jump right back in...

Those of you who watched the Cards/Bears game may have noticed that the announced starters at LB for Arizona were Pace, Darling and Huff. Both the official game book and the eyeball test prove differently (thank you DVR). The Cards started Hayes in the middle and Darling on the weak side. Hayes...

"I want to apologize to everyone for not getting the EOTG done this week. Unfortunately reality reared its ugly head in my life. For those of you who don't know, when I am not writing about football I own and manage a collision repair center East of Cincinnati. On Thanksgiving night there was a...

It was just pointed out to me that Michael Boulware is absent from the EOTG weekly cheat sheet. This was purely an oversight. I must have lost him in the cut and paste as I was moving guys around. He belongs in the top 10 if not top 5 this week considering the match up.Reb

In case anyone missed it, at the Bengals recent OTA Justin Smith moved to LDE and Robert Geathers took over the starting job at RDE. The purpose of this according to Bresnahan is to get more favorable matchups for Smith who will now be facing the opponents right tackle. This should be very good...
