I minored in journalism, meaning I was at one time a journalism major but decided I didn't like it, and had enough credits for a minor after changing majors.

With the internet, the world is wide-open for writers. You have football experience and people are hungry for deeper writing that teaches them things about the game and their team that they don't know. If you get the writing itself tight and your voice is clear you can take yourself somewhere.

GBB could probably say more about this given his experience at BR.

I have been told that I am a bit of a robot when writing and speaking. My editor doesn't really edit, he just copies and pastes. However he is the one that is in charge of the published material, I just provide the write-up. I never went to college, so I admit I am not great at literature. Pretty much just self taught. (which is probably why I am a bit bland).

I’m intrigued to see how Eberflus decides to matchup in terms of dime, nickel, big nickel, and dollar personnel. Doesn’t it make sense to cede 4-5 yards/carry if you limit a few big plays?

Not in the snow, certainly.

Oh, no. If it is snowy, I would think only a single high safety would be used,..with cover 1 m/m used more often. I know Colts used Zone a lot, but M/M press in snowy conditions when it is cold and wet would be more beneficial.

Welcome Lawrence. Great analysis.

I too believe the Colts keys to winning will to be able to control the LOS and establish a dominant run game, and to somehow limit Kelce to at least an average performance.

Flurries aren’t going to slow down the passing attack.

The cold can however. Not as much as that with snow showers. But when the ball is cold, it is more slick due to being less malleable. Plus when your hands are cold, your catching ability is lessened. QB usually throw slower, with more air time, and the DB's have an extra moment with the ball in the air to make a play.

Not a huge amount of insight for us, but this would be a treasure trove of information for the casual fan.

It would be nice to attract some average fans to this board

Imagine how quickly they would actually learn football!

I would be happy to play a lot of cover 1. I doubt they will though

Why don’t you try and lure them with candy? Or is that just your trick with children?
