How big a football nerd are you?

Enough of one to read this?

How the backside drag hand in outside zone benefits offensive linemen

Great title 😆

Seriously though, if you're enough of a nerd that you can actually get interested in learning about blocking concepts and such, this article's author, Brandon Thorn, is a good follow on Twitter.

In a year when we could really use some good linemen in the draft, a little info can be useful.

 

 

 

Maybe not to the level of this article, but hey 😄

xandolabs - $50 a year with a wide variety of articles on offensive and defensive schemes, usually with supplemental practice plans

 

Glazier Clinics - $150 or so a year with videos from high school and college clinics. They had a MASSIVE library, but took them down because they’d have to convert the videos into their new site and format. 
 

Coachtube - variably priced clinics from high school, college and NFL coaches. For example the O Line coach from the Titans has one on the wide zone that I’m about to buy. 
 

A lot of this can be found on Twitter and YouTube, but I’ll be honest some YT creators have no clue what they’re talking about and give out poor info.

Interesting stuff.

Over the years, I've bought a load of books on coaching, strategies, even scouting and such but never looked into anything online.

Wasn't really even aware that it existed (though obviously it makes sense).

    • I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience. 
    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
