I host a podcast called Football 301 that’s been described as “…entertaining with a slightly degenerate charm…” It's always a good day for an elbow drop. Is Butterbean OK? nateticefootball at gmail
NEW Football 301! First time guest @proant.bsky.social joins me to give our top 10 defenses for 2026! There are several defenses lined up for big years. Including our unanimous number 1 unit: the Houston Texans. Awesome show (and not just cause we talked Lucha Bros. vs. Young Bucks).
Back in the saddle with two new episodes of Football 301 each week on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Top 10 offenses w/ @mattharmon.bsky.social tomorrow. Top 10 defenses on Thursday. Then it's division previews and predictions time! THERE'S FOOTBALL IN THE AIR
even before that goal Tillman has been a man possessed once the US went down to 10 players
this RB leak concept is a popular redzone play in the NFL. I like the Jags splashing the water here with Etienne's pre-snap motion and how his swing route captures the attention of the Jets LB. The safety gets occupied by the WR's route and it's a wide open TD for Tuten.
Hard to not get excited about Armand Membou (#70) when he has reps in the run game like this. Look at how he can bend and gain leverage against a dang good run defender in Travon Walker. Plus he runs his feet and has the strength and balance to sustain the block.
had some memories flood back this week with the new Jackass movie release
I've been finding every excuse to talk about Dolphins LT Patrick Paul (#52) this offseason. Paul has rare length and is an easy mover in a large frame. He is still cleaning some things up, but it's hard not to get excited when watching Paul work in space in the run game.
We’re doing a MAILBAG episode of Football 301 this week! What are some of your biggest questions about your team or the NFL in 2026? Reply here and we’ll answer it on the show tomorrow!
*holds up homemade sign and fence* DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE! Now up on @yahoosports.bsky.social, I nominated defensive breakout candidates for the 2026 NFL season. From former 7th rounders already on their second team to last year’s second overall pick. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/...
Breakout defensive players to watch in 2026: Travis Hunter flashes elite coverage skills for Jaguars despite offensive inconsistencies
While Hunter may be an obvious breakout candidate, there are plenty of other under-the-radar defenders entering their second or third seasons who appear on the verge of stardom.

This isn’t the 2021 Bengals offensive line…. On the pod, @natetice.bsky.social and I discussed the improved group protecting Joe Burrow, and whether Cincinnati’s offense will evolve this year. 🎧: apple.co/4errOIP 📺: youtu.be/NVns70CEH7Q?...

The Dallas Cowboys had a top five offense last year. On the pod, @natetice.bsky.social made a convincing case that they could be even better this season 👇 🎧: apple.co/4errOIP 📺: youtu.be/NVns70CEH7Q?...
man. what I'd give to be in New York right now. dancing on a car. punching a police horse.
been thinking about this USMNT chance ever since it happened. The tackle by Freeman, the move and pass by Dest, McKennie hauling so much ass.
BREAKOUTS! LEAPS! Now up on @yahoosports.bsky.social. I nominate a group of offensive players that are ready to take a step forward this season. From role players and former first rounders establishing themselves to starters ready to make a big step forward. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/...
Breakout offensive players to watch for 2026 NFL season include WR Ryan Flournoy, who could give Cowboys insurance for George Pickens
Whether it's a starter about to jump to a postseason award, a former first-rounder anointing themselves as a real player or a role player establishing himself as more, here are players ready to launch...

Troy Fautanu (#76) completely disarming Mike Green's pass rush. Even has a quick thought about a power bomb.
just an oversight! I personally consider him an upper echelon guy in the tier behind PS2.
Hey @natetice.bsky.social @diantelee.bsky.social was Christian Gonzalez not getting mentioned on the defensive draft pod an oversight, or do you not consider him quite in the tier of other corners you mentioned (Ward, Horn etc)
Now up on @yahoosports.bsky.social. I wrote about the potential trends in the NFL in 2026. And more specifically, I wrote about how the Rams, amongst other teams, might use an old friend to help score points this year. Tempo. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/...
Top schematic trend to watch in 2026 NFL season: Will the game speed up or continue to slow down? Rams could give us the answer
Offenses aren't in any dire place right now, but defenses have clapped back hard on the popular offensive concepts of the past decade or so.
