  • John Fox Fires Back at Jim Irsay Over Peyton Manning Bashing
    John Fox fires back at Jim Irsay over Peyton Manning bashing By Mike Klis The Denver Post October 15, 2013 Broncos coach John Fox. Broncos coach John Fox fired back at Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay on Tuesday in defense of Peyton Manning. Irsay earlier implied in an interview with USA Today that he wanted to move on from Manning’s “star wars” stats and start winning more Super Bowls. Fox, on his weekly appearance on NFL Sirius radio on Tuesday with Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan, was asked about Irsay’s comments. “I saw the comments. And to be honest with you, I thought it was a bit of a cheap shot,” Fox said. “To me, in my opinion, they were disappointing and inappropriate. “Peyton would never say anything. He’s too classy to do that. They sounded a little ungrateful and unappreciative to me. For a guy who has set a standard, won a Super Bowl, won four MVP awards… be thankful of that one Super Bowl ring, because a lot of people don’t have one.” Irsay, among other quotes, said in reference to Manning’s time with the Colts: “(Tom) Brady never had consistent numbers, but he has three of these,” Irsay said. “Pittsburgh had two, the Giants had two, Baltimore had two and we had one. That leaves you frustrated.” Here’s a link to Fox’s radio interview. Broncos promote Tavarres King to 53- man roster, waive Adrian Robinson By Mike Klis The Denver Post October 15, 2013 When the Green Bay Packers tried to sign away rookie receiver Tavarres King, the Broncos' front office countered with its own play.

  • Evaluating Running Back Contributions to Running Plays
    Breaking Through the Line: Evaluating Running Back Contributions to Running Plays December 2019 1 Introduction In football, Running backs make plays that are great for highlight reels. Typically of average height, Running Backs can routinely be seen running into defensive brick walls and occasionally emerging on the other side still standing. From Marcus Allen's 74 yard run in Super Bowl 18 to Marshawn Lynch's `Beastquake', a highlight reel seems incomplete without an iconic run. But what made each of these plays highlights worthy? One may suggest that these are Marcus Allen and Marshawn Lynch highlights specifically because they highlight the individual contribution of each running back. In Allen's iconic run, he meets multiple unblocked defenders in the backfield and is forced to make something out of the play himself. The Beastquake similarly deals with Marshawn Lynch's individual effort, shedding multiple Saints' defenders on his way to a historic playoff touchdown. These two examples are simple to work with because the plays demonstrate immense individual effort. There is value to be assigned to the offensive line making blocks, for the quarterback possi- bly looking defenders off with his eyes, and many other things though they all seem less important given what each of these runners did. It is not always the case, however, that it is trivial to separate the efforts of the running back from those of their teammates. This difficulty has become exasperated as communities go so far as to say that `Running backs don't matter' without adequate ability to parse contributions. These are paraphrased of course but represent sentiments that exist within the football analytics community.
