Montreal Alouettes' head of U.S. scouting Russ Lande and the RSP's Matt Waldman discusses the Cardinals' changes on Kyler Murray's development challenges, the Justin Fields-Bryce Young offseason conundrum, our criteria for scouting RBs, and Tulane RB Tyjae Spears. Topics This week: The backdrop for Kliff Kingsbury's firing and what's ahead for Arizona. The work ahead for Kyler Murray and what's missed about evaluating success for NFL quarterbacks. Why the Bears could be legitimately considering drafting a first-round QB. Why the Bears might not be legitimately considering a first-round QB but what us to think so? Where we stand on Justin Fields. Thoughts on Bryce Young. Our criteria and red flags for scouting running backs. What people misunderstand about "tackling" when charting RB performance. The skills of Tyjae Spears and how they fit into some of these criteria as examples. And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2023 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95.

Gerald Talks with Gary Harrell on #ItsEasySon!!! "Gary Harrell joined Jackson State in November of 2020, after serving as running backs coach for a season at Alabama State. In the Fall 2021, Santee Marshall and Peyton Pickett combined for nearly 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns. Prior to joining ASU, he served a two-year stint under Lane Kiffin at Florida Atlantic. He joined the Florida Atlantic staff in January of 2017. His attention was given to the wide receivers who rotated throughout the season seeing the quarterbacks utilize a total of nine receivers. Senior Kalib Woods was named the Conference USA Championship MVP, and Willie Wright, just a freshman, was the team's most consistent wideout and led the Owls with 56 catches and a total of six scores. Following the year, Wright earned a spot on the C-USA All-Freshman team. Prior to his stint at Florida Atlantic, his alma matter came knocking on his door and asked the Miami native to return to the program, but as the head coach in 2011. All told, Harrell served as Howard University's head coach for five seasons. During his Howard tenure student-athletes worked under the premise that athletics and academics were evaluated equally. In 2012 he was honored by the D.C. Touchdown Club as the Local College Coach of the Year at its inaugural awards dinner. During his time at Howard, he finished with a 20-36 overall record including a 7-4 mark in 2012. Before going to Howard, Harrell spent two seasons as the offensive coordinator for Bowie State, from 2009-10. Harrell began at Morgan State in 2008 where he remained through 2009 before seizing the opportunity to move from a position coach with the Rattlers to an offensive coordinator position at Bowie State. He was a part of a team that finished 6-6 in 2008 and 6-5 in 2009. While at Morgan State he also served as the wide receivers coach for Team Michigan, a member of the All-American Football League (Feb. 2008 - May 2008). Harrell got his start in coaching at his alma mater, focusing on Howard's wide receivers from 2002-04. Howard posted a 6-5 record in 2002, a 4-7 mark in 2003 and a 6-5 mark in 2004, including splitting two overtime games. He moved away from his alma mater to gain collegiate coaching experience in another environment. He served as a Texas Southern assistant coach, for wide receivers, from 2004-06.Harrell returned to the east coast as an assistant coach in 2006. His two-year stint was made easier due to his familiarity with the MEAC. Harrell, affectionately known as “The Flea,” played two NFL seasons, seeing action in four games in 1994 and '95, with the New York Giants. He also played one season (March 1996-June 1996) for the World League's Frankfurt Galaxy and two seasons in the Canadian Football League with the Montreal Alouettes (1996-97). He was a four-year letter winner as a wide receiver and punt return specialist. He started every game for Howard's undefeated 1993 team and was a member of the MEAC Championship team that same season. Harrell holds the Howard record for most receptions in a game (13) and in a career (184). He was inducted into the Howard University Hall of Fame in November 2005, and also received a proclamation from the City of Miami declaring it Gary “Flea” Harrell Day. Prior to attending Howard, he was a varsity athlete for Miami's Northwestern High School. A native of Miami (Fla.), Harrell earned his degree in Marketing from Howard in 1994. He and his wife (Tenika) have two children, a daughter – Jasmine – and son – Gary, Jr. – who is a member of the Howard football team." Courtesy of GoJSUTigers.com

Montreal Alouettes' head of U.S. scouting Russ Lande and the RSP's Matt Waldman discuss how NFL teams develop lists of prospects for evaluation, why this is a great time of year to build the back end of rosters, and thoughts on quarterback development and running back devaluation.  Topics This week: The roles of Blesto, National, NFL teams, and college with creating lists of prospects with NFL potential. How scouts build these lists and the benefits of the process. How NFL teams use IR or cut veterans to earn opportunities to acquire and develop younger players. How Russ would structure a coaching staff to foster more quarterback development Why Tyler Allgeier's big afternoon in Atlanta is another signal of where the NFL is heading and what it means for the devaluation of the running back position. And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2023 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95 -- and an early-bird, pre-order discount is available $19.95 through December 22nd.    Matt's new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95 If you're a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2022 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge.   If you're a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2022 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge.   Best yet, proceeds from sales are set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat the sexual abuse of children. 

Dr. John DeWitt is our chiropractor and the man behind the website he calls concussion video where you can learn all about his latest research into head trauma and head injuries. During the show we also discussed some supplements he's developing which are specifically targeted for brain health. If you know of somebody that has a concussion they'll definitely want to listen to this show with Dr. John Dewitt. Concussions are a subject that hits close to home with Dr. Dewitt because as a former professional football player, he's had a few of them himself. What I learned in this show about concussions is that you don't have to be hit in the head hard at all. Some soccer players get concussions from simply heading the ball on their forehead. If you can imagine a simple fall on the floor or even some whiplash from a car accident, these seemingly small injuries can cause a concussion. The other thing I learned about concussions is that they're not just bruises on the brain. I always thought that a concussion was just a bruise on your brain. But a concussion can also be where brain matter that connects your brain to your spine and skull get damaged or even torn. So a concussion is much more than a lesion or bruise on your brain. It could be other tissue that gets damaged during the initial injury. This makes me worried for all UFC fighters, boxers and football players. I didn't know that cheerleaders and hockey players are very prone to getting head injuries and concussions. If you know of anybody with traumatic head injuries and you think they might have a concussion, please send them this show so they can get some help! They'll appreciate it! Thanks.

Tyler Palko (born August 9, 1983) Palko was the starting quarterback at the University of Pittsburgh from 2004 to 2006. The left-handedthrower was not selected in the 2007 NFL Draft, but was signed by the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent. He also played for the Arizona Cardinals, Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Kansas City Chiefs.

Montreal Alouettes' head of scouting Russ Lande and the RSP's Matt Waldman discuss the scarcity of a complete tight end in the NFL,  Brock Purdy and the 49ers' end-of-year strategy with the QB position, Jon Robinson's firing, hard-to-teach skills, and thoughts on NFL players and prospects we've recently studied.  Topics This week: A complete tight end is not only hard to find, but it may not be wise to use him like one. Brock Purdy's debut and why the 49ers rolled with Josh Johnson as their backup. The Titans' firing of GM Jon Robinson and why it's a decent time to fire an NFL GM. Hard-to-teach skills for NFL prospects Quarterback Running Back Wide Receiver The logic behind Baker Mayfield in L.A. NFL players and prospects we've recently studied.

On Sunday will be played the 109th Grey Cup game, so what else would this episode of the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast be about? Well… With RWB co-host Joe Pritchard actually in Regina, site of the Grey Cup as well as concomitant week-long festivities for fans and podcasting types, co-host Os Davis welcomes on our friend of show now based in Japan, international football podcaster Greg James. Greg and Os put a moratorium on the Montreal Alouettes' and BC Lions' seasons and make our picks/prediction for the Grey Cup, including Greg's solid reason for rooting on the Toronto Argonauts in this one (hint: it's got to do with The Rock). The RWB does like the chances of a Winnipeg Blue Bombers threepeat, though… As sports history buffs/geeks, Greg and Os talk some 1950 Grey Cup, a.k.a. The Med Bowl, a.k.a. the last time the Bombers and Argos played for the trophy. And as CFL fans, there's no stopping some speculation on the immediate short- and medium-term future of the league… Enjoy the Grey Cup! (And take the Bombers minus the points…) The Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast:  talking Grey Cups past, present and future

Montreal Alouettes' head of scouting Russ Lande and the RSP's Matt Waldman discuss the success of Miami Dolphins' quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, the Colts' hiring of Jeff Saturday, Bill Walsh, Bill Parcells, Andy Reid, and how it relates to effectively balancing task-oriented management principles with flexible and strategic thinking as an NFL head coach. Topics This week: The successful marriage of the player and scheme in the case of Tua Tagovailoa shouldn't be a knock on Tagovailoa. Where teams make mistakes by taking proven players and forcing new tasks on them. Why many task-oriented coaches fail. When task-oriented coaches are needed and when they must expand their skill base to reach another level of value. How owners influenced by the media create a "can't-win" situation for coaching hires if you play their game. How Bill Walsh's regimes succeeded with a lot of task-oriented principles thanks to the self-scouting of the coaches in action. Why Bill Parcells might have been a good NBA coach. Why Andy Reid has a strong balance between task-oriented and strategic thinking. How Jeff Saturday could potentially change how the NFL hires coaches. Even if the media and former players and coaches are proven right specifically about Saturday, there's a broader point underscoring the situation where they will remain wrong. And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2022 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95.  Matt's new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95 If you're a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge.   If you're a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge.   Best yet, proceeds from sales are set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat the sexual abuse of children.

Just two more games – the division championship games – remain to be played before the Grey Cup is awarded, and the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast is certainly excited. But before talk of predictions and Grey Cup game outcome, please allow RWB co-host Os Davis to do something he's not been able to since RWB began: Take a fan's verbal victory lap after a Montreal Alouettes playoff win. Os and co-host Joe Pritchard eventually move on to other matters such as trying not to second-guess certain aspects of the Calgary Stampeders game against BC Lions in round 1 of the playoffs. The RWB also makes the case for an Argonauts, Alouettes, Lions and Blue Bombers victory this weekend – we're kinda liking the possibilities of an RWB Bowl of Winnipeg vs Montreal in the 109th Grey Cup… The Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast:  Making the case for wearing shorts in November

It's that bittersweet time of year for the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: The CFL playoffs have begun, signaling another season's end is near – but on the other hand, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are no longer playing. So RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis are onto the playoffs! Specifically, round 1 of the 2022 CFL playoffs pitting the Hamilton Tiger-Cats against he Montreal Alouettes on the East side and the Calgary Stampeders at BC Lions in the West. With no more playoff scenarios to be had, the RWB instead gives you the scenarios in which each team can win its respective game. Picks and predictions, too! The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Playoffs?!?!?

Montreal Alouettes' head of scouting Russ Lande and the RSP's Matt Waldman go position-by-position and discuss productive NFL players who fit or don't fit our desired archetypes at each position. https://youtu.be/pC5VVQYFYNs This week: What makes a good leader at the quarterback position? Where are the critiques of Russell Wilson fair/unfair? Why are onsite visits to scout quarterbacks vital? A behavior/trait where NFL evaluators are prone to overreacting when interviewing quarterbacks. Why we're sold on the Vikings' acquisition of T.J. Hockenson. Why do we love the Christian McCaffrey trade for both sides but agree there's a legitimate trap door for John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan? The potential win-win-win for the Giants-Chiefs-Toney, but which of the three wins is the shakiest? Why aren't we sold on the Chase Claypool deal for the Bears? Why we're bullish on the Robert Quinn and Bradley Chubb deals, especially with the Jeff Wilson throw-in for Miami. Why did the Colts go with Sam Ehlinger over Matt Ryan? Why we're puzzled the Colts fired Marcus Brady and what it might mean. And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2022 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95.  Matt's new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95 If you're a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge.   If you're a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge.   Best yet, proceeds from sales are set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat the sexual abuse of children. 

We're joined by our East and West analysts this week to help us tee up a great weekend of playoff football. First, Darrin Bauming helps us look ahead to the great Western Semi-Final showdown between the Calgary Stampeders and BC Lions. After, Marshall Ferguson crunches numbers and gives a look at what we can expect in the Eastern Semi-Final between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Montreal Alouettes.

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast is saddened that the games in week 21 of the 2022 season are absolutely irrelevant to the postseason picture, but not so much that RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard can't put together a solid podcast episode. After talking the week 20 games, which showed most playoff teams (except possibly the Montreal Alouettes) in good form heading into the postseason, Joe and Os break down the regular season in terms of the Pythagorean Expected (PE) Wins statistic, a neat little statistic that holistically examines each team in a given season and determines how much better/worse they performed against an objective measure of expectation. The RWB also takes a look at a post on the league's official website CFL.ca, which applies their in-house simulation engine/algorithm to probabilities for this year's Grey Cup. Os talks some good value bets in Grey Cup proposition betting, if you're into that kind of thing. The Rouge White & Blue podcast: There are no meaningless games, are there…?

The Argos clinched the East Division with a 24-23 win over the Montreal Alouettes. Our usual postgame podcast has been postponed due to illness, but we'll be back on Monday with a full breakdown of the game.

Remember way back in early July, when the Saskatchewan Roughriders got off to a quick start and start near the top of the CFL West standings at 4-1? The Rouge, White & Blue Podcast sure does – nevertheless, RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard were, like, most of CFL fandom, to find out that Riders head coach Craig Dickenson had during the bye week benched Cody Fajardo, who subsequently more or less declared the end of his time in Regina. The RWB talks the Fajardo/Riders story, with emphasis on the Riders' short-term franchise morass, as well as a swell 1980s CFL board game before taking week 18 games – and how Os came upon a religious-like revelation regarding the 2022 Montreal Alouettes. We've also got picks and predictions for week 19, including just how many week 20 games will be relevant at all. The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Just keep rolling those dice and everything will be fine.

Montreal Alouettes' head of scouting Russ Lande and the RSP's Matt Waldman go position-by-position and discuss productive NFL players who fit or don't fit our desired archetypes at each position. Who are our types of players at each position — players we might take ahead of more productive options at the position who don't fit our archetype when building a team? That's the topic of this week's scout talk with Montreal Alouettes U.S. Head of Scouting Russ Lande and Rookie Scouting Portfolio author Matt Waldman. They go position-by-position, discussing the traits and skills that will gain or lose value for them when considering what they value at each position. This is the first of a two-part conversation on this topic that will eventually cover most of the positions. This week: Why Kyler Murray's game, a good young passer, goes against our type of desired player relative to Lamar Jackson or even less productive players like Davis Mills, Geno Smith, and Derek Carr. We appreciate Mike Williams and Kadarius Toney but we discuss what they have in common that doesn't fit our type for the receiver position while bringing up others who do. Why Colts' cornerback Kenny Moore's game encompasses a lot of qualities that are missing from other players we discuss. What put Drue Tranquill's career on a better track than Johnathan Abraham's? Why we loved Grant Delpit pre-draft but how he hasn't tightened up his game to be a productive fit in the NFL. And what all of this has to do with what we seek from safeties. Why Myles Jacks Jack is a linebacker type that Russ covets and Denzel Perryman is a type he wouldn't build around but would make good use of his services? Why Matt covets Eric Kendricks and Pete Woerner. Who would Matt prefer as a running back type between a player he loves to watch as a fan and a backup he appreciates more as an evaluator? The player who runs on the edge of abandon that Russ values and a productive player who doesn't fit Russ' archetype at the position. Why Ezekiel Elliott is still a top back? In two weeks, we'll cover the offensive and defensive lines and finish up tight and running backs. Another great pod that's appointment listening. And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2022 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95.  Matt's new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95 If you're a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge.   If you're a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge.   Best yet, proceeds from sales are set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat the sexual abuse of children.

XFL 2020 Houston Roughnecks team president Brian Michael Cooper joins the program for a very special and long-anticipated episode this week! With the XFL returning for version 3.0 in February of 2023, new XFL ownership has made it clear they look to shape the future of the popular alt-football league in their new vision but are there elements that led to XFL 2020's success that the new league can implement and grow upon? We look “Back to the XFL's Future” to see what XFL 2023 can learn from XFL 2020.We welcome former XFL 2020 Houston Roughnecks team president Brian Michael Cooper onto the program to give his thoughts on elements from XFL 2020 that could and potentially SHOULD be incorporated into the XFL's third relaunch if the league hopes to capture the same fan devotion it did when it launched in 2020. Brian Michael Cooper and the rest of the XFL 2020 team presidents put in tremendous amounts of guerilla marketing ahead of the XFL's February 2020 launch both self-initiated and league directed, how does he think the new XFL's regime is stacking up?Jeff Hamilton, president of the Football Reporters of Canada and Winnipeg Blue Bomber journalist makes a return to the program to chat through and preview CFL week 19. We discuss there BC Lions both with and without Vernon Adams Jr., how the Montreal Alouettes seemed to have lost any momentum they had heading into the East Division Finals, and the recent news that the Manitoba Government is offering up to $5.5 million to help bid in an attempt to host the Grey Cup in Winnipeg in 2024 or 2025.Finally, the USFL and HUB Football just announced a new “data partnership” in an attempt to help find the best players possible for the other alternative football leagues' second season which will be kicking off in April. How does the USFL and HUB's partnership differ from that of the XFL's new relationship with the NFL Alumni Academy and did the USFL and HUB Football do enough with their newly announced partnership or is there still room to improve?0:00 The Markcast Episode Promo2:28 Show Intro3:52 Bryan Scott Signed Football Preview, 2500 Subscriber Giveaway5:14 USFL Announces Data Partnership w/ HUB Football, Thoughts8:40 Brian Michael Cooper, XFL 2020 Houston Roughnecks Team President Interview35:06 Jeff Hamilton, CFL Journalist, CFL Week 19 Preview1:08:25 Show Outro

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast wishes our northerly neighbors a happy Thanksgiving as RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis simultaneously envy the Canadians for making their Thanksgiving Day weekend a four-day deal through to Monday. After touching on Paul LaPolice's dismissal from the Ottawa Redblacks – and Joe reckons he won't see a head coaching position again in the CFL – and briefly on candidates for the Most Outstanding Player and other fan-voting CFL awards, Joe and Os dive in the week that was in Canadian football: Os is even happier with his Montreal Alouettes, whom he claims are the hottest team in the league; Winnipeg Blue Bombers diehard Joe Pritchard fears not the impressive-looking Calgary Stampeders and interesting BC Lions; and both lament the too-little-too-late coming together of the Edmonton Elks. Then the RWB takes a look ahead to week 18 CFL games, figuring maybe the 'spread is too high on Edmonton-Winnipeg and that it's straight-up incorrect on Saskatchewan Roughriders-Hamilton Tiger-cats… The Rouge White & Blue podcast: Holding out for the RWB Bowl in the Grey Cup…  

Montreal Alouettes' head of scouting Russ Lande and the RSP's Matt Waldman go position-by-position and project what traits and skills will gain or lose value for NFL teams in future NFL Drafts if the two-high shells continue to drive NFL offenses to run the football. The run has statistically gained ground on the passing game in the NFL thanks to the spreading out of opposing defenses and their response to employ two-high shells. If this continues, and there's no reason to think it won't, the NFL will be forced to adapt to a reality where the best offenses control the football. Montreal Alouettes U.S. Head of Scouting, Russ Lande, and Rookie Scouting Portfolio author Matt Waldman undertake a strategic exercise to project how this impacts team building. They go position-by-position, discussing the traits and skills that will gain or lose value for NFL teams in future NFL Drafts if the two-high shells continue to drive NFL offenses to run the football. What type of offensive linemen will benefit or lose value in future drafts? Which teams are already ahead of the curve? Will the Gilbert Brown archetype at defensive tackle be back in vogue? Why the under-tackle will play a pivotal role if the Gilbert Brown archetype comes into play and who is a quintessential under-tackle in this league right now? Where the NFL may sacrifice on the athletic front at linebacker to account for what they'll need to stop the run. How will safeties' roles change? Where there will be more roles for certain types of running backs and potentially more running back conversion projects from wide receivers, but specific skills will remain a barrier to entry. Will the quarterback position go the route of long-form journalism? Quarterbacks who could have long careers in the NFL as journeymen thanks to this potential change. Quarterbacks who are so close to being ideal for this change, but their lack of confident action at the point of release remains a core obstacle. Which positions could lose the most value in future drafts? Another great pod that's appointment listening. https://youtu.be/48XbVz8Igh8 And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2022 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95.  Matt's new RSP Dynasty Rankings and Two-Year Projections Package is available for $24.95 If you're a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge.   If you're a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2020 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that's included at no additional charge.   Best yet, proceeds from sales are set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat sexual abuse of children.

We discuss.Andrew Murray returns to the program to discuss his potential theories about the XFL team name announcements next week and to run down the nuts and bolts of the XFL's newly formed partnership with the NFL Alumni Academy. We've known since April about the XFL's partnership with the NFL and specifically the Alumni Academy, but what does that mean? With hundreds of players attempting to get onto NFL rosters, how do the NFL's Alumni Academy and a spring XFL season fit into the mix? The NFL Alumni Academy recently held a Zoom call to discuss these details and more with pro football agents and we bring you the very latest plus discuss how the XFL's February to April timeline might be better equipped for certain types of players trying to make it back to the NFL as compared to the USFL's late spring start.Jason Gregor, a long-time friend of the show returns to chat all things CFL week 16.

Montreal Alouettes' head of scouting Russ Lande and the RSP's Matt Waldman discuss Brian Daboll's management tack with his wide receiver corps, scheme and matchup players, notable scouting reports of the past, gamesmanship between coaches and GMs, and behaviors that attract/repel NFL teams.  This week's Scout Talk provides valuable perspective on how the league operates when it comes to player scouting and coaching as well as the challenges of hiring leaders at all levels of the organization. The likely positives but the potential negative of Brian Daboll's handling of Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay. Scheme Players vs. Match-up Players The difference. How long does it take for the league to neutralize schemed players? Can a scheme-reliant quarterback be a perennial starter in the NFL? Player behaviors that attract/repel NFL teams. Matt's evolution with scouting contact balance in running backs. Russ' approach regarding elite athletes vs. finesse technicians with scouting offensive tackles.

Montreal Alouettes' head of scouting Russ Lande and the RSP's Matt Waldman delivers a must-listen episode devoted to separating the reality from the myths about preseason buzz, free agent additions, draft capital and gamesmanship among teammates competing for NFL jobs. If you want to gain valuable perspective on how the league operates and understand the details that you miss from mass-media coverage of OTAs, training camps, preseason games, and depth chart movement, this is a must-listen episode of Scout Talk. There's a ton of great information here that ranges from broad thoughts about teams to specifics about current players: Why offseason drum beats don't matter unless those beats form a specific and discernable rhythm Skylar Thompson as a great example. Romeo Doubs as a positive example but with typical issues to address and a Davante Adams story that fits into the equation. Player Fit: Trey Sermon in San Francisco vs. Philly Why Sermon never fit in Kyle Shanahan's system. The type of backs Shanahan seeks vs what they thought they could change with Sermon. Why Philly is a good fit in theory but why talent takes a back seat for now. Draft Capital: The Hidden Advantage of a High-Round Draft Pick Why, for good and bad seasons, team management holds a clear bias with early-round picks. Why late-round picks with more talent than early-round players often fall through the cracks. Melvin Gordon, A.J. Quigley, and why reliability can supersede talent for system-leaning coaches. Gamesmanship: We hear great narratives about veterans helping young players. But... We don't hear about veterans at the end of careers who need the money, getting into the heads of teammates to take their jobs. Ty'Son Williams rise and quick fall as a potential example. This is an advanced class for football operations perspective. Appointment listening.

Russ Lande, former NFL scout and the current head of national scouting for the Montreal Alouettes, joins Matt Waldman for another season of RSP Scout Talk. This week, they discuss processing speed, coach-scout dynamics, and camp hopefuls from the 2022 rookie class.  Russ and I are excited to embark on another year of the RSP Scout Talk podcast series. Here are this week's conversation topics: Testing the processing of information on the field: Why it's gaining value. The positions where it is vital and why. Examples of prospects with fast and slow processing abilities and the contributing factors that help/hurt processing speed. How coaches can make the most of slower processors. Where testing for processing may look like in the future. Coach-Scout-Team Dynamics: Why Dante Scarnecchia's appearance on the Athletic podcast with Robert Mays unintentionally revealed more about organizational management opportunities for personnel evaluation. The range of organizational models that teams have for coach-scout interaction for scouting. What Russ valued from his NFL experience with coaching staffs. How Bill Walsh's plan to videotape teaching sessions of veteran position coaches was the seed of his historic coaching tree. Why many teams try to be a highfalutin fusion restaurant with a star chef that leaves its fans dissatisfied, hungry, and stopping by joints like Five Guys on the way home -- and why the Steelers are that Five Guys franchise. Or, more aptly, Primanti's. Why Chris Olave is the best receiver of this rookie class. Why Russ is excited to see offensive packages for Malik Willis. 2022 Camp Hopefuls: Late-round/UDFA types that Russ and I are looking forward to hearing about this summer. Enjoy...we did!
