Hello and welcome. I started Gridiron Groundwork out of a frustration with the surface-level commentary that so often surrounds the running back position. Between the tackles lies a world of strategic nuance—a violent chess match happening in seconds—that frequently gets boiled down to just “yards after contact.”

This blog is my commitment to the football community to dive deeper. We’re here to:

• Break Down Film: To analyze the offensive line schemes, the footwork, and the vision that makes a play successful.
• Explain the “Why”: To go beyond what a running back did and explain how and why he did it, from reading blocks to setting up defenders.
• Celebrate the Workhorse: To honor the history, evolution, and future of the position with thoughtful analysis.

This is a place for learners, purists, and fans who crave more. Thank you for reading, and welcome to the conversation.
