Interesting article about Bill O'Brien. I remember when he was the hot hire. After watching him on Hard Knocks, seeing his results over the last few years, the article makes me a little less stupid for thinking O'Brien is just not all that.
You can’t blame Osweiler for Houston’s problems — The Undefeated (http://theundefeated.com/features/you-cant-blame-osweiler-for-houstons-problems/)
It's also pretty good at diving into some of the deeper concepts of football. We routinely talk about "adjustments" but this goes into detail on some of the types and the true match-up games that go on in-game between teams (well, teams with solid coaching).

Screens aren’t just for the blitz
Most coaches only see the screen pass as the answer to a blitz-happy defense, but it can be deadly against some two-deep coverages. A well-designed running back screen against any 2-deep coverage can result in one tackler against two linemen and a running back. You only need to hit one to change the way the defenders play for the rest of the game. Suddenly, their zone drops won’t be as deep, creating bigger gaps in the downfield coverage.
Play action for intermediate, not deep
When you are running the ball as well as the Texans did against the Colts, conventional football logic would tell you that the safeties will start to creep closer and closer to the line of scrimmage. And the proper response to that is a play-action deep post route, attacking the area vacated by the safety. However, the Colts and many of the other teams that have faced the Texans refuse to go into single-safety coverages. They are content to let Miller run the ball, but not give up big plays to Hopkins. That doesn’t mean that the Texans should abandon the play-action all together. They should design play-action passes that target the backs, tight ends, and slot receivers because, while the safeties won’t bite on the run fake, the linebackers will.
good stuff here

Thursday night NFL game is unwatchable. Switched to the college game and baseball playoffs.

If the baseball game wasn't on next to the football game I would've stayed home myself. Instead I stopped by Tilted Kilt after work. The girls don't hurt either.
Packers just scored a TD on a fade pass. Must be nice.
