Walkthrough: Southern Gothic

It's Midnight in the Garden of Senior Bowl coverage as Mike Tanier finds himself stuck inside of Mobile with the Kirk Cousins blues again. From Mardi Gras to mumble-speak, its the Deep South like you never saw it before.

Walkthrough: Feeling Old

Ray Lewis is talking about retirement, Aaron Hernandez is channeling Rod Bernstine, and Mike Tanier is having Tebow dreams. Maybe everyone just needs a nice, long nap.

Great Defense Makes a Long Awaited Return

There are a lot of places in this article where I take a Football Outsiders concept -- like the fact that the 49ers defense ranks first in Second Level Yards -- and explain it in raw data form. And of course, when talking about the Patriots defense I bring up the old "field position" discussion. But it is still pretty interesting, even though the field position differential for the 49ers is even more interesting.

Let's Give the Packers Defense Some Love

If not love, a little praise for the things they do somewhat well. Oh wait, that's love I guess. Also, more 49ers running play goodness. I feel like I know Delanie Walker better than my sons.

Walkthrough: Change the Subject

Enough about the Packers, Giants, Tebow, and the coaching carousel! Mike Tanier wants to talk about something else: Arian Foster documentaries, Raiders safeties, AFL legends, and Ricky Gervais.

Don't Talk About First-Round "Momentum"

This is really a Monday morning rant about multiple subjects. If you read my hemming and hawing about Mike Smith in Audibles, this represents my return to message.

Inside Dirt on the N.F.L. in 2012: Mayans, Others Get it Wrong

I call these features "list gags," where I write a bunch of one-liners around a general theme, then turn it into a timeline or other organizer. Is there an actual name for them? Anyway, once more into the breach on some familiar gags, plus some early Andrew Luck jokes and as much politics as I feel comfortable adding (almost none).

Sunday's Games Have a Style for Everyone

An odd title for a round of diagrams. The last one is my favorite, showing the "spy" techniques the Steelers might use against Tim Tebow.
