MIKE TANIER has been writing Football Outsiders Almanac chapters for so long that he feels like Ringo making yet another special guest appearance during a Paul McCartney show. Mike recently wrapped up a six-year run as the NFL Lead Columnist for Bleacher Report; his popular Monday Morning Digest feature will presumably be replaced by TikTok videos, cartoon GIFs of Lamar Jackson, and long apologies. A father of two with almost 20 years of experience as an NFL writer, Mike is proof positive that we all get by with a little help from our friends. You can find his work at Fansided.com, Pro Football Network, the New York Times, and here at Football Outsiders.
Aaron Schatz drops by this week to talk about Lamar Jackson's DVOA and DYAR! Hall of Famer Rod Woodson also drops by to talk NFL defense. It's a must-read Digest!
Lamar Jackson: Threat or Menace? This week's Digest also features almost no gruesome footage of Alex Smith or the Philadelphia Eagles.
Featuring a very special segment this week: "How to Tell When an NFL Coach is Lying."
