Episode notes
From Teacher To Full-Time Analyst
- Jim Coventry started writing for fantasy sites while he was an English teacher and offered to write for free to get his foot in the door.
- He later worked at DraftSharks for eight years before joining RotoWire full-time and then retired from teaching to focus on analysis.
Two LBs, Fewer Big RB Injuries
- NFL defenses use two lighter linebackers far more often, reducing hit force on running backs and lowering RB injury rates.
- Coventry connects smaller linebackers and 2-LB sets to fewer season-ending RB injuries and longer RB durability.
Offenses Counter Light Defenses With More Blockers
- Offenses counter lighter defenses by using heavier personnel and more blockers to run effectively.
- Teams prioritize preventing explosive pass plays, accepting longer run drives to avoid one-play disasters.
