A number of us have been recommending this podcast from former Patriots insider Michael Lombardi. It is a review of current league trends and a critique of various NFL management and coaching styles. This latest episode was so excellent I thought it was thread-worthy:
A couple of things that I found particularly interesting in this episode:
1. Starting at 1:29 Lombardi starts discussing the Rams' and the Eagles' use of college-like run-pass-option concepts. This has been a growing trend in the league.
2. Starting at 33:30 Lombardi discusses the importance of the middle linebacker for diagnosing the offensive play and communicating defensive audibles. I believe this has implications for our defense without Hightower.
