  No financials for this deal have been released, but I’m guessing the Bears got him very cheap. Gholston is definitely a bust. In fact, with no sacks in 3 seasons after being drafted 6th overall, he might be one of the biggest busts of the last decade. However, he’s…

  Spotlight #1: Stanford OT Jonathan Martin Spotlight #2: Stanford OLB Chase Thomas  1st 11:18: Jonathan Martin blown right past by USC’s Nick Perry, allows the pressure, forces Andrew Luck to scramble (not like it mattered to Luck). I’m interested in this matchup. Martin hasn’t been tested much this year.…

  Spotlight #1: USC DE Nick Perry Spotlight #2: USC RB Marc Tyler  1st quarter 10:01: Josh Kaddu with a tackle for a loss on a pass in the flat. 9:04: Tyler catches a screen for 7. It’s worth noting he wasn’t on the field until this point. Curtis McNeal…

Spotlight #1: USC TE Rhett Ellison Spotlight #2: Colorado G Ryan Miller  1st quarter 13:28: Miller gets beat on a run block, but another USC player gets the tackle for loss first because Miller can allow it. 11:02: Ellison with a great block on an outside run on a 3rd…

  Spotlight #1: USC OT Matt Kalil Spotlight #2: USC MLB Chris Galippo   1st quarter 13:21: Gallipo is the blitzer, bites big time on the play fake and chases the running back instead of continuing unblocked to the quarterback. 12:35: Kalil on a pull block on an outside run,…

Spotlight #1: USC QB Matt Barkley Spotlight #2: USC S TJ McDonald  1st quarter 13:28: McDonald shows poor instincts and is overly aggressive on a run play that goes 70 yards for a touchdown by Arizona State’s Cameron Marshall. Marshall, a junior, could be someone to watch in 2012. 12:27:…

Spotlight #1: North Carolina DE Quinton Coples Spotlight #2: North Carolina WR Dwight Jones  1st quarter 14:14: Coples with a nice swim move to the inside, the run play goes outside, however. 13:45: Coples gets around his man, but the quarterback rolls out to the opposite side. 13:40: Coples into…

Spotlight #1: Arizona WR Juron Criner  Spotlight #2: Arizona S Robert Golden  1st quarter 14:55: Criner with an excellent 2nd level block on a long run on a reverse pitch. 13:50: Criner just overthrown in the end zone deep. Good effort. 13:00: Foles throws unnecessarily off his back foot. Still…

  Spotlight #1: BYU OT Matt Reynolds Spotlight #2: BYU DE Hebron Fangubo  1st quarter 13:14: Fangubo gets to the outside on a screen pass and makes a tackle on a running back trying to spin away. He stops it for a short gain. 8:36: Excellent block on the outside…
