Word of Muth: The Cards won't budge

[Red Dawn]

I love this guys writing, he consistantly explains OL play as well as anyone I have ever read. Plus, I believe he is a Cardinal fan. This article is from September 20, where he dissects the Pats OL play against the Cards.

apparently he is a former o-lineman? very detailed info (some of which is greek to me, lol)

It also tells me Acho is one smart dude.

That is fantastic.

Am I remembering correctly that these All-22 videos are now available to everyone for the first time this season? Analyses like the one posted are very informative...would love to see more of them.

Muth is a Stanford alum from Phoenix. He has a regular column on the FO site, and it is always very informative.

His profile from the Football Outsiders site:

BEN MUTH was raised in Phoenix, Arizona and had season tickets to both the Cardinals and Sun Devils. As a result, he insists on irrationally defending Jake Plummer as quarterback. He left the state to go to college in California. He played offensive line at Stanford from 2004-08 and was named first team all conference in his final season. He now literally bleeds Cardinal red (for the Arizona Cardinals and Stanford). He was picked up by the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2009 but released later that same year, due to combination of injury and giving up too many sacks in practice. He currently lives in Nashville.

I'd be in favor of him replacing Grimm. I bet he doesn't even like Springsteen.

A few seasons ago he did a series where he followed and analyised the Cards line every game (plus a couple of other teams) it was very informative and interesting

If I rememeber right he abandodned following the Cards mid season because they were so poor

Particularly impressed with how their double teams couldn't even root Campbell off his spot, which he established on the Patriots side of the ball. That is one big, strong dude.

Great read, thanks for sharing.

It is a great read, our defense is talented and more importantly they completely buy into Horton's stuff which seems to be very good.

When talent meets great coaching you get something very special, we seem to have both on that side of the ball.

I'm pretty stoked, don't remember ever having this solid of a defense and the scary thing is they are getting more confident in a good way as they go.

This is really cool, btw great write up, will bookmark that dudes site.
