Title: Evolution of the game
Post by StegRock on May 11^th, 2006, 12:36am

Guys and Gals,... let's use this thread to put up posts about and discuss the evolution of the game as it unfolds before our eyes. I intend on "the Gridiron's" being around for a good many years,... so this thread could really be something special both to watch unfold through the years and look back upon someday far off in the future...

To kick off the discussion,... NFL defense evolving... From "The REAL Feed":

Clayton: "Weak" becoming a strength for NFL defenses (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=2439793&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines)
ESPN: NFL (10.05.2006 18:03)
The popularity of Cover 2 defenses has teams putting emphasis on finding fast and undersized weakside linebackers.
