This is a really good article, discussing the evolution of the OW. It's interesting that WR/TE are being blurred, and now WR/RB/QB are being blurred. I found it funny that the Jags wanted to list Robinson as an OW in their media guide, and the NFL said "please don't". This article isn't earth shattering, but talks about the evolution, why, and how coaches are creating matchups. Good Gifs of plays, as well.

I think a switch is an offensive weapon. But I'm not from the south.

Back to leather helmets!

Good stuff indeed, thanks for posting it Russ
The evolution continues...
As long as they don't teach it in the South.
Good stuff. In a league loaded with freakish athlete's it's amazing to me how guys like Percy Harvin and Patterson are yet another cut above. Amazing gifts some of these guys have. Nice to see Cobb mentioned.
Here I thought it was gonna be about ninja throwing stars.

Black or White.
Eyes - perhaps my favorite Dead song. I love One From the Vault's version.
Great article Rusty, thanks for sharing.
Cobb perfectly times his spin move There was a sliver of space and he managed to find it. Looks like a cat sneaking through a fence.
Is that Quarless or Rodgers in at TE? I think it's Quarless and I think that block attempt was really meh. Maybe it was a weird angle or maybe he was responsible for a certain zone, but it seems like a timid attempt to get after the LB.
Also love Corey Linsley staying after his block. As soon as the DLineman started changing direction CL took the leverage and got him moving.
