Vikings vs. Eagles: Mike Vick Victim Of Bad Game Plan
The Vikings vs. Eagles game may have been different if Philadelphia Eagles QB Mike Vick had a better game plan. This video was created to show what the Eagles should have done to place Vick in a position not to be hit as much as he was.

Kansas City Chief's Mccluster, Arenas, Berry - Rookies Open New Arrowhead Stadium
The Kansas City Chief's Dexter Mccluster, Javiar Arenas, and Eric Berry are rookies that opened the New Arrowhead Stadium with a win against The San Diego Chargers.

Titans 30, Raiders 6, 3rd Q - How Raiders Can Come Back
At first, the Tennessee Titans score of 30 to the Oakland Raiders 6 would seem to be almost insurmountable. Especially listening to the ex-San Diego Charger Dan Fouts. It's not. First, offensively, the Raiders and Titans are almost similar looking at the stats at the half: 8 first downs to 11 for the Titans. But the Titans have had big plays, leading to 108 yards for Oakland...

Aaron Rodgers Terry Bradshaw-like Delivery Key to Passing Success
Aaron RodgersOne reason for Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers passing success in the NFL 2010 Preseason and in 2009, has been his short, efficient release. Unlike Denver Broncos Rookie Tim Tebow, who's still working to improve his delivery, Rodgers has had six years to work on his.

Mainly because many high school coaches have tried to throw the whole playbook at their kids. That means terminology, formations, and plays. In many Bill Walsh Offenses there are thousands of plays...
