Is the AFC South a 2-Horse Race? Is JAX Poised for a Bounce-Back? (Ep. 532)

On today's show, Brian addresses what teams did in the draft and if they answered the most important questions their respective franchises faced. Are the Eagles still the NFC's best? Did the Lions or Seahawks close the gap at all? Did the Bengals and Bills address needs that help pull them even with KC? And the Cardinals appear to be pulling off an obvious tank job for Caleb Williams or Drake Maye.

The tradition continues as Champ joins the show during the live First Round of the NFL Draft. The guys banter over picks, laugh at the Lions, and try to figure out the Jets. 

On today's show, Brian discusses what's being said at the 2023 Owners Meetings about Lamar Jackson. Plus, it's been a couple weeks since Aaron Rodgers told the world that he wants to play for the New York Jets. We discuss why this hasn't happened and what we hope the Packers will do.

It's Friday night and there's breaking news!!! We react to the huge trade that gives the Carolina Panthers the number 1 pick in the draft. What this trade means for the Panthers and Bears? But Brian opens with the Lamar Jackson situation and what to make of all the reports that have come out since that teams are not interested in the 26-year old former MVP.

Get ready -- the quarterback news will start coming fast and furious! Yesterday, we got the reports that Derek Carr is a New Orleans Saint and Geno Smith is back with a new deal in Seattle. Brian discusses these deals. Then, we look ahead to what might happen next, with Aaron Rodgers to the Jets likely leading the way. But there's more! What will Baltimore do with Lamar? Brian predicts non-exclusive tag and why that will result in Lamar starting on another team in 2023! Plus, could the Rams deal Matthew Stafford??!! Lastly, the Bears have been busy putting a lot of smoke out there. What's all the noise really mean about the number 1 pick in the draft? And why potential trade partners are waiting.

We're in the middle of Combine Week in the NFL, and Brian is in the mood to make some draft-related predictions. We examine which QB will go number 1 and which team will be poised to trade up for him. Which surprise defensive player will come off the board first? Could QBs really go 1-2-3? Should the Lions grab a quarterback at 6 (or 18)? And who's the QB below the top-4 who could have a Jalen Hurts-type of impact on his team?

Welcome to Combine Week in the NFL, as everyone descends upon Indianapolis! One of the top storylines (if you can believe it) is potential number 1 pick Bryce Young's weight! Brian has some thoughts! Plus, we discuss the tweet that Schefty put out about the Bears' number 1 pick being up for sale. We put on our Brian Windhorst hat and theorize what this means. Then, we dive into what is most important at the Combine, and how we should be sorting through the WR prospects this year.

The 2022 NFL season has ended, but that only means that the offseason is just beginning! Brian takes us through ten predictions for the coming months. Where does Aaron Rodgers end up? Does Lamar stay in Baltimore? Which top level WR will get dealt? How does Philly respond to being oh-so-close in the big game? All that and many more predictions!!

On today's show, the KC Chiefs are champions once again. Why was this one more impressive as we examine Andy Reid's coaching performance? Plus, we look at all the angles from the game that played out -- some as expected while others were not. Then, we discuss how a classic game was marred by officiating, and Brian explains why that call -- while correct by the letter of the law -- should not have been made. Lastly, we talk about grass! How was that playing surface so brutal???

On today's show, Brian reacts to a bummer of a Championship Sunday. Plus, Tom Brady retires (again), Eagles-Chiefs storylines that we'll hear about, and movement on the coaching front -- Sean Payton to Denver, DeMeco Ryans to Houston, and coordinator positions filling up.
