Matt Waldman’s RSP Scout Talk with Russ Lande: What If There’s A Resurrection of the Run In the NFL? A Position-by-Position Examination - a podcast by Matt Waldman

Montreal Alouettes'head of scouting Russ Lande and the RSP's Matt Waldman go position-by-position and project what traits and skills will gain or lose value for NFL teams in future NFL Drafts if the two-high shells continue to drive NFL offenses to run the football.
The run has statistically gained ground on the passing game in the NFL thanks to the spreading out of opposing defenses and their response to employ two-high shells.If this continues, and there's no reason to think it won't, the NFL will be forced to adapt to a reality where the best offenses control the football. Montreal Alouettes U.S. Head of Scouting, Russ Lande, and Rookie Scouting Portfolio author Matt Waldman undertake a strategic exercise to project how this impacts team building.

They go position-by-position, discussing the traits and skills that will gain or lose value for NFL teams in future NFL Drafts if the two-high shells continue to drive NFL offenses to run the football.What type of offensive linemen will benefit or lose value in future drafts?
Which teams are already ahead of the curve?Will the Gilbert Brown archetype at defensive tackle be back in vogue?
Why the under-tackle will play a pivotal role if the Gilbert Brown archetype comes into play and who is a quintessential under-tackle in this league right now?
Where the NFL may sacrifice on the athletic front at linebacker to account for what they'll need to stop the run.
How will safeties'roles change?
Where there will be more roles for certain types of running backs and potentially more running back conversion projects from wide receivers, but specific skills will remain a barrier to entry.Will the quarterback position go the route of long-form journalism?
Quarterbacks who could have long careers in the NFL as journeymen thanks to this potential change.Quarterbacks who are so close to being ideal for this change, but their lack of confident action at the point of release remains a core obstacle.
Which positions could lose the most value in future drafts?Another great pod that's appointment listening.
