483: Greg Cosell Talks Film Study, QB Development, and Super Bowl Matchups

Live from Super Bowl Radio Row, Scott Rosner and LJ Homegrown welcome Greg Cosell, NFL Films analyst and longtime football educator, for a wide-ranging conversation on how the game is truly evaluated through film. Cosell walks through his weekly in-season routine, explaining why tape study, not stats or television coverage, drives his analysis, and how defensive trends like two-high safety structures and post-snap disguise are reshaping quarterback decision-making. He discusses quarterback processing, coaching influence, and player development, including what he’s seen from Sam Darnold, Drake Maye, and college prospects as he prepares for the NFL Draft. The episode also explores Cosell’s offseason film projects, his approach to scouting quarterbacks, and his breakdown of the upcoming Super Bowl matchup from a tactical, film-first perspective.Connect with Greg: https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-cosell-41005230/Follow Greg on X: https://x.com/gregcosell?lang=enThe CUSP Show is hosted by Joe Favorito (@Joefav) and Tom Richardson (@ConvergenceTR) and produced by Sam Henry (@s_henry11), LJ Holmgren (@LJ_Holmgren), and Danny Hagenlocher (@DhColumbiaSPS), with social media efforts led by Lissa Ruiz.
