  • Josh Mcdaniels Fiasco, Anthem Protests Are Examples Why the NFL Misses Pat Bowlen Right Now by Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb
    Josh McDaniels fiasco, anthem protests are examples why the NFL misses Pat Bowlen right now By Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb. 11, 2018 Robert Kraft is the real villain in the Josh McDaniels-Colts fiasco. With great power comes great responsibility, and no owner uses his for self-serving interests more frequently than the Patriots’. Some of the NFL’s most prominent issues — national anthem protests, distrust between players and owners, the fallout from continued and necessary CTE studies, all that — are a direct result of the league’s knee-jerk reaction to almost anything that threatens to tarnish the shield. I call it the CYA plan. Instead of working together to advance the greater good with a sensible solution, the men in charge seek to cover their own backside. The anthem protests are the perfect example. The NBA quickly and successfully identified a solution in the form of a blanket decree that all teams must stand for the anthem. And when’s the last time you read a report on anthem issues in the NBA? There haven’t been any. There’s been zero blowback from a league roster that’s 70 percent black. The NBA’s all good. This isn’t hard. Meantime, the wishy-washy NFL tried to appease this group ... and that group ... and that other group ... and the end result has been distrust from players and alienating a sizable chunk of its fandom. Nobody follows the CYA plan — ignoring what’s best for the league in order to help itself — better than Kraft. That brings us to McDaniels, who reneged on a promise to join the Colts as coach.

Seay III - 2 - INTRODUCTION The Wild Bunch celebrates its sixth birthday in 2006. This revised playbook reflects the lessons learned during that period by Wild Bunch coaches on three continents operating at every level from coaching 8-year-olds to semi-professionals. The biggest change so far in the offense has been the addition in 2004 of the Rocket Sweep series (pp. 62-72). A public high school in Chicago and a semi-pro team in New Jersey both reached their championship game using the new Rocket-fueled Wild Bunch. A youth team in Utah won its state championship running the offense practically verbatim from the playbook. A number of coaches have requested video resources on the Wild Bunch, and I am happy to say a DVD project is taking shape which will feature not only game footage but extensive whiteboard analysis of the offense, as well as information on its installation.

    Von Miller, Phillip Lindsay selected to 2019 Pro Bowl; Three Broncos tabbed as alternates By Aric DiLalla DenverBroncos.com December 19, 2018 Outside linebacker Von Miller and running back Phillip Lindsay have been selected to the 2019 Pro Bowl, the NFL announced Tuesday. Miller has now been selected to the Pro Bowl seven times, and he has been chosen every year since 2014. His 14.5 sacks this season are tied for second in the NFL. To read more about Miller’s Pro Bowl season, click here. Lindsay, meanwhile, becomes the first undrafted offensive rookie to earn a Pro Bowl bid. The Colorado product ranks in the top five in the NFL in rushing yards, rushing average and rushing touchdowns. He currently has 991 yards and nine touchdowns through 14 games. To read more about Lindsay’s Pro Bowl season, click here. The Broncos also had three players named alternates for the 2019 Pro Bowl. Cornerback Chris Harris Jr., wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and outside linebacker Bradley Chubb were all tabbed as alternates. Harris tallied three interceptions, one sack and 49 tackles during his 12 starts in 2018. In Week 7, he returned one of those picks for a touchdown. He suffered a leg injury in Week 13 against the Bengals. Sanders, who suffered an Achilles injury in practice ahead of the Broncos’ game against the 49ers, tallied 71 catches for 868 yards and four receiving touchdowns.

  • Former Titans Head Coach Mike Munchak Brings 37 Years of NFL Experience As Broncos Candidate by Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post Jan
    Former Titans head coach Mike Munchak brings 37 years of NFL experience as Broncos candidate By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post Jan. 5, 2019 Consecutive wins to end the 2013 season allowed the Tennessee Titans to finish 7-9 under third-year coach Mike Munchak. Many believed he would be fired. Ultimately Munchak was dismissed but not until he turned down a contract extension and raise in salary when he refused to fire multiple assistant coaches. Fast forward to Friday, when Munchak, 58, was at the Broncos’ facility interviewing with general manager John Elway, president/CEO Joe Ellis and others for the opening created by Vance Joseph’s firing on Monday. Munchak’s loyalty is to be applauded, but the formation of his potential coaching staff should be a major topic of discussion. Munchak is the third known candidate to meet with the Broncos, who interviewed Chuck Pagano (Wednesday) and Zac Taylor (Thursday). On the docket are Brian Flores (Saturday) and Vic Fangio (Monday). Since leaving the Titans, Munchak has been the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line coach. Last January, he removed himself from consideration for the Arizona Cardinals’ head coaching position. Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers requested an interview. Munchak checks two of the boxes Elway is assumed to want: Previous head-coaching experience and a background on offense. He played 12 years at guard for the Houston Oilers, was named to the Pro Bowl nine times, twice selected All Pro and, in 2001 was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. To his credit, Munchak didn’t use his playing status to take short cuts in coaching.

  • The “Loco Punt Formation” Article By: Jared Van Acker, Head Football Coach, Galax, Va
    THE “LOCO PUNT FORMATION” ARTICLE BY: JARED VAN ACKER, HEAD FOOTBALL COACH, GALAX, VA I want to first off give thanks to American Football Monthly and the extensive knowledge on the game of football that is published within its pages every month. I look forward to the day when the new issue reaches my doorsteps to see the new and innovative minds/trends in the greatest game in the world. I have been the Head Football coach at Galax High School for the last two years and like all coaches I stress the importance of all three phases of the game of football: offense, defense, and special teams. I believe that one of the most important phases is special teams and unfortunately many coaches don’t emphasize its importance until it bites them in the backside. A couple of years ago while I was a young assistant coach, I put some of my own thoughts into a punt scheme that I used while I played at Quincy University, now an NAIA school in Quincy, IL. Like all coaches across America we are “thieves” when it comes to our ideas and schemes and I devised a fun and effective punt formation that I call the “Loco Punt”. This punt formation has been a very effective tool in the punt game for our football team and blends a solid spread punt scheme with an arsenal of fakes to keep the pressure off the punter and to allow for a successful punt and coverage. With this scheme we have been able to change the landscape of many football games! In the two years that we have used the “Loco Punt” we have had only one punt blocked and numerous first-down conversions from the array of fakes that we use.

The fact of the matter is that Watson has quietly been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, and always has been. Should I make this trade? Have you been having trouble logging in? If a trade is accepted, it goes through a voting process by the league. The teams included are: the Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders. Your league may have a trade limit which sets the system to only allow a specific number of trades per team. RB, which are normally drafted at the beginning of the second round.

  • Defensive Line in New Territory Without Star Player
    Defensive Line In New Territory Without Star Player This story was originally featured in the Oct. 17 issue of Buckeye Sports Bulletin. Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson has developed a tradition in recent years. Since his arrival in Columbus prior to the 2014 season, Johnson has produced star defensive end after star defensive end, reeling in five-star prospects and spinning them out as top-five picks three years later with such consistency that it’s now almost bizarre to see a Buckeye team without an established elite edge rusher. He opened the tradition with Class of 2013 five-star signee Joey Bosa, who contributed as a freshman under the tutelage of Mike Vrabel before rocketing into stardom in 2014 and 2015 under Johnson, notching 18½ sacks and 37 tackles for loss on the way to a No. 3 overall selection by the San Diego Chargers in the 2016 NFL draft. The elder Bosa was followed immediately by his younger brother and Class of 2016 five-star signee Nick Bosa. A season-ending injury in 2018 cut Nick’s Ohio State career short before he was able to truly hit his peak as many had expected in 2018, but the younger Bosa still managed 17½ sacks and 29 tackles for loss in 30 games as a Buckeye before being selected with the second pick of the 2019 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers. The final member of that five-star trio had the largest statistical impact during his time in Columbus, both in volume and in the record books.
