Running To Win: Broncos Need Ground Game To Beat Titans
Last week's loss was a very hard one for me to swallow. In fact, I went into a fitful rage of whiny negativity that was based purely on emotion. Most of which was entirely unbecoming. As a fan I tend to live and die with each play, which makes my thought process unpredictable and, yes,...
Tennessee Volunteers vs. Vanderbilt Commodores: A First Look
Well, it's been quite a while since the Volunteers last stepped on the football field, and I'm kind of itching to see them play again. (Insert wisecrack here; just get it out of your system now.) It's been a dismal year for the Vols, as we all know, and a terrific year for the Commodores. With...
Perspective on the Tennessee - Wyoming Game: (Un)Pretty Charts
I feel almost guilty going through the numbers. It's not like we don't know what happened; Wyoming won in a significant upset in a game that effectively drove the stake into the heart of the UT fanbase. It was a homecoming game against an offense who actually had a worse season than UT - and that...
Knicks 120, Heat 115: The Wrap-Up
That was not much fun to watch. Miami opened its 2008-09 season on the low end of the remarkably fluid expectations for the team, suffering a thorough beat-down slightly redeemed by some fourth-quarter spasms of competence. Let's start at the top. Dwyane Wade's numbers on the surface were more...
Tennessee Volunteers vs. Northern Illinois: Offense to Date
With 5 games in the books, we can now take a look at some of the trends emerging in the UT offense. (And by "trends", I don't mean a complete lack of consistency from the QB play.) As before, I'll toss around a few pretty graphs and charts to give a gauge of the performance of the offense. When...
More on Buffalo's 31-14 victory over the Rams
Lynch getting very little room to run (buffalobills.com) Yesterday, the Buffalo Bills extended their winning streak to four games by taking care of business in St. Louis in a 31-14 win over the Rams. It wasn't pretty, but it was effective, and the Bills are 4-0 for the first time since 1992. ...
Anatomy of an -ffense: Tennessee Volunteers in 2008 (so far)
If you've learned anything about me at this point in time, it's that I like to play around with numbers. My first-ever RTT post came last year before the Arkansas game, where I gave Joel some charts to show that the magic mark for beating Arkansas was to hold McFadden under about 150 yards. In...
Terps 20, Clemson 17
Yessir, appears my "feeling" had something behind it (not that I'm bragging, or anything). It was definitely one of the more satisfying second halves in a long while, but that really made the first half even more disappointing. It's disappointing that it took a DHB end-around to finally get the...
McFadden, Bush to test Bills' revamped Run D
Stroud & Co. must be stout on Sunday (buffalobills.com) In 2007, stopping the run was the Achilles' heel of the Buffalo Bills. Despite its best efforts to claw their way back into the playoff race, Buffalo's inability to shut down the run (along with inconsistent quarterback play) ultimately...
Tennessee Volunteers Game Drive Analysis
With two games in the books, we can take a look at UT and begin to identify some tendencies in their offensive and defensive play. It's really too early to call any of these tendencies as actual trends, but we can start with the big pictures and begin to work our way down a little bit into the...
