August 17, 2023 02:48 - 33 minutes - 62.7 MB

1. Do you see Ezekiel Elliott's role in New England as essentially a short-yardage/goal line back and nothing more? 2.

1. What made Sean Payton change his mind and decide to take the Broncos job, rather than stay in broadcasting for another year? 2.

If he starts out the season and plays just as bad as he did last year, could we see J...

July 12, 2023 02:34 - 29 minutes - 54.3 MB

1. Is it fair to expect Anthony Richardson to assume the starting job some time within the first five weeks of the season? 2. Even though he missed all of OTA’s, do the Colts still plan for JuJu Brents to be one of the starters at boundary corner this year? 3. When it comes to Josh Downs, does he figure to be featured in the Colts 11-personnel packages regularly this season? 4. As much as I loved what the Colts did on Day 2 of the draft, I loved what they did on Day 3 even more. Three of ...

What is Roschon Johnson's likely role in the Bears offense?

#404: Dash To The Draft 2023 (Recap of AFC Draft Classes with Mark Schofield)

May 24, 2023 03:24 - 1 hour - 129 MB

Why was Will Anderson, Jr. worth the price the Texans surrendered to move up and get him?) -Colts (Will Anthony Richardson start Week 1? Why is Mark bullish on Evan Hull?) -Titans (Can Peter Skoronski thrive at tackle in the NFL? How soon should the Titans play Will Levis?) -Jaguars (What are the chances Anton Harrison takes the Jaguars LT job permanently this season? Why will Antonio Johnson be an importan...

May 19, 2023 03:14 - 39 minutes - 74.2 MB

1. What made you eye Broncos as the second chance of your NFL cheer career? Did it feel better to you making DBC the first time or the second time? 2. Explain how you coaxed your teammate (and previous guest on the podcast) Biebele out of "dance retirement" and what about her made you believe she could make the team last season even though she hadn't danced professionally for several years before then? 3. This past season, you achieved a pretty memorable milestone by helping design the DBC...

#402: Dash To The Draft 2023 (Last Minute Buzz/Rumors + Final Mock Draft with Hal Bent)

April 26, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

1. How would you grade the Aaron Rodgers trade for both the Packers and the Jets? 2. How big of a mistake are the Texans making by passing on a C.J. Stroud at 2? If you're Nick Caserio, do you trade out of the #2 overall pick if say the Raiders at 7 give you their first-round pick in 2024 to move up and get their QB? 3. If you are new Titans GM Ran Carthon, are you willing to trade all the way up to 3 with the Cardinals, especially if you think the Colts are eyeing the same QB you are, or ...

#401: Dash To The Draft 2023 (NFC East Draft Preview with Bill Carroll)

April 24, 2023 04:00 - 41 minutes - 76.7 MB

1. If either Anthony Richardson or Will Levis (or both) fall past the Raiders at 7, do you trade up to get them if you're Commanders GM Martin Mayhew and head coach Ron Rivera? 2. Generally speaking, would it be more ideal for the Giants to draft a WR in the first round (say Quentin Johnston) and a corner in round 2 (say Julius Brents) or the other way around with say Emmanuel Forbes and Marvin Mims? 3. Once the Cowboys season ended with another tough playoff loss to the 49ers, people imm...

#400: Dash To The Draft 2023 (AFC East Draft Preview with Billy Riccette)

April 21, 2023 04:00 - 36 minutes - 68.3 MB

1. Do you think the Jets trade with the Packers for Aaron Rodgers goes down during the draft or after the draft? Outside of offensive line, do you see any other glaring holes on this Jets roster? 2. If the Patriots do not select Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first round, do you think they're more likely to trade for a veteran WR like DeAndre Hopkins than take one in the second round? 3. Based on what the Dolphins have recently done, do you think anything less than a deep playoff run this sea...

#399: Dash To The Draft 2023 (NFC North Draft Preview with Mark Schofield)

April 19, 2023 04:00 - 37 minutes - 68.8 MB

1. If you're a Bears fan, would you be equally as happy (if not happier) if the Bears trade down with say the Steelers at 17 and get Darnell Wright there as opposed to staying at 9 and taking Paris Johnson, Jr. or Peter Skoronski? 2. Assuming the top OT's, CB's and EDGE players are off the board by the 15th overall pick, do you think the Packers should take Jaxon Smith-Njigba or even Dalton Kincaid with that selection? 3. If you were a betting man, would you place a bet on the Lions winnin...

#398: Dash To The Draft 2023 (AFC North Draft Preview with Bill Carroll)

April 17, 2023 04:00 - 31 minutes - 58.4 MB

1. Do you think Elijah Moore is as good a talent or better than the WR's and TE's that would likely have been available for the Browns at 42? What are the Browns biggest remaining areas of need? 2. How do you think new Steelers GM Omar Khan will approach the draft differently (even in the most subtle of ways) than his predecessor Kevin Colbert? 3. How should Eric DeCosta and John Harbaugh use this draft to further mend fences with Lamar Jackson? 4. If you're the Bengals and had to choos...

#397: Dash To The Draft 2023 (AFC West Draft Preview with Nick Kendell)

April 14, 2023 02:01 - 30 minutes - 56.5 MB

1. Come draft weekend, do you think the Broncos go with George Paton's "more darts" approach, Sean Payton's "quality over quantity" approach, or somewhere in between? Would you anticipate the Broncos trading Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy or both during the draft? 2. If you're Raiders GM Dave Ziegler, do you move heaven and earth to get a deal done with Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort (who he knows very well from their time together in New England) by some time next week (if not sooner), rather...

#396: Dash To The Draft 2023 (AFC South Draft Preview with Cole Thompson)

April 12, 2023 04:00 - 49 minutes - 92.9 MB

1. The latest buzz suggests that there's a good chance the Texans actually pass on taking a QB at 2 if the Panthers select Bryce Young, and the drumbeat of Young indeed being Carolina's choice is growing louder and louder. Are you hearing similar and if so, do you anticipate the Texans trying to trade out of that #2 overall pick should that scenario come to pass? 2. I have not heard any buzz that says the Colts are willing to move up a spot to ensure they land their preferred QB. Have you h...

#395: Dash To The Draft 2023 (Analysis of LB class with Bill Carroll)

April 10, 2023 03:00 - 49 minutes - 92.1 MB

1. Your colleague and right-hand man at Team NBS Media (and a regular on this program as well) Jeff Barnes said that this LB group is one of the weakest positions in this year's draft. Do you agree? 2. When it comes to Trenton Simpson, what is THE absolute best role for him off the bat? 3. The dilemma when it comes to Drew Sanders for whoever selects him is to either make him a pass rusher most of the time, or to continue and develop his still raw off-ball LB chops and make him a Tremaine ...

#394: Dash To The Draft 2023 (NFC West Draft Preview with Matty Brown)

April 08, 2023 03:52 - 59 minutes - 110 MB

1. If you're Monti Ossenfort, do you only consider trading down to 7 with the Raiders to put yourself in position to get a player like Tyree Wilson or Christian Gonzalez (both of whom the Cardinals reportedly love) or do you trade down to 11 if the Titans give you essentially the same package as the Panthers gave the Bears? With buzz swirling that the Texans may pass on a QB at 2 should the Panthers select Bryce Young, should the Cardinals wait until they're on the clock to trade the pick, o...

#393: Dash To The Draft 2023 (NFC South Draft Preview with Brian Bosarge)

April 05, 2023 01:53 - 25 minutes - 46.6 MB

1. Is there equally as strong of a case for either Bryce Young or C.J. Stroud to be the top pick, or would you strongly prefer Stroud if you were in the Panthers front office? 2. Why aren't the Falcons urgently working to find that long-term answer at QB? 3. Do you share the assessment that the Saints roster is "old" and "not particularly well-built?" Should Mickey Loomis and Dennis Allen approach this draft differently than they've done in the past by say trading down as opposed to tradin...

#392: Dash To The Draft 2023 (Analysis of DB class with Bill Carroll)

April 03, 2023 03:00 - 51 minutes - 96.3 MB

1. Christian Gonzalez is almost universally expected to be the top corner off the board, likely within the top-10 picks. What makes Gonzalez such a special prospect? 2. Do you see Devon Witherspoon as worthy of a top-15 pick...or do his size and athleticism (or lack thereof) give you pause? 3. Do you think Joey Porter, Jr.'s best possible fit is with a team that plays a very heavy amount of press coverage...or can he thrive in most other schemes despite those aforementioned weak spots in h...

#391: Dash To The Draft 2023 (Analysis of DL/EDGE class with Carl Dumler)

March 31, 2023 03:30 - 44 minutes - 82.9 MB

1. How does Will Anderson compare to some of the other generational EDGE prospects of the past 12 years (Von Miller, Khalil Mack, etc.) and did you like his college tape better than any of them? 2. What makes Jalen Carter such a special talent...and if YOU were a GM of a team picking in the top-10, would you still take him if he fell to you? 3. Why do you think some teams are equally as high (or even higher) on Tyree Wilson than they are on Will Anderson? 4. Lukas Van Ness out of Iowa is...

#390: Dash To The Draft 2023 (Analysis of OL class with Jeff Barnes)

March 30, 2023 02:06 - 34 minutes - 63.7 MB

1. Do you think Peter Skoronski, like Jets star G Alijah Vera-Tucker, can be that type of player who's a great guard yet can also do an above-average job playing tackle if the situation warrants it? 2. What makes Paris Johnson, Jr. a worthy investment as a top-10 pick? Why is he the top offensive tackle on your board? 3. What is the argument for say the Bears with the ninth overall pick to prefer Broderick Jones over Paris Johnson, Jr.? 4. When looking at Darnell Wright's tape, did the ab...

#389: Dash To The Draft 2023 (Analysis on RB class with Bill Carroll)

March 28, 2023 03:00 - 58 minutes - 109 MB

1. What makes Bijan Robinson arguably the best prospect at the running back position since Saquon Barkley? 2. Do you think being an RB2 in a rotation with a limited carry count is the best possible role for Jahmyr Gibbs at the NFL level...or can he be even more? 3. Do you think Devon Achane is worth a top-50 pick? 4. Would you be surprised if Zach Charbonnet is the third RB to go off the board, if not the second ahead of Jahmyr Gibbs? 5. Do you think Tyjae Spears has more than some think...

#388: Dash To The Draft 2023 (Analysis on TE class with Nick Kendell)

March 25, 2023 20:04 - 38 minutes - 70.6 MB

1. Do you expect to see many (if not most teams) use a lot more 12 personnel than we are used to seeing this season? 2. If a team is looking for a classic "move" tight end with a similar play-style to Travis Kelce, the guy they probably want is Utah's Dalton Kincaid, who is considered the best pure receiving tight end in this class. What makes him such a dangerous weapon in the passing game? 3. What do you see in Luke Musgrave's tape that suggests he can be an even better pro than Dalton K...

#387: Dash To The Draft 2023 (Analysis of WR class with Brian Bosarge)

March 22, 2023 02:44 - 23 minutes - 43.9 MB

1. When it comes to the wide receivers in the 2023 NFL Draft, it is a very underwhelming group. Not only is there no Ja'Marr Chase-level prospect among them, there isn't even a prospect you can safely say is on the level that Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave were headed into last year's draft. However, if you take a deeper look into this class, one can argue that if you need a receiver who can fill a "niche role" in an offense such as taking the top off of a defense or a reliable "move the cha...

#386: Dash To The Draft 2023 (Analysis of QB class with Mark Schofield)

March 18, 2023 17:28 - 49 minutes - 91.2 MB

1. Did C.J. Stroud's Herculean performance against Georgia convince you that there is FAR more untapped potential with him? 2. Given what you see from him on tape, do you think Bryce Young has a very good chance to be successful for an even longer period of time than Russell Wilson? 3. The most common player comp I've heard for Bryce Young is somebody outside the football world...basketball star Steph Curry, who I think we can now say is the best pure shooter in NBA history. Are you a fan ...

#385: Dash To The Draft 2023 (Combine Preview + Mock Draft with Jeff Barnes)

March 02, 2023 03:02 - 47 minutes - 87.1 MB

1. Do you share the sentiment of Mel Kiper, et al that this is not a good draft class? 2. Based on the perceived aforementioned drop-off from Jalen Carter and Will Anderson to the rest of the class, do you think the Bears should only trade back to as far as #4 overall with the Colts? Do you think the best case scenario for the Bears is to initially trade back one spot with the Texans and then trade back again with Indy? 3. When looking at the 2023 draft class in general, which position gro...

#384: Super Bowl LVII Recap, Coaching Carousel, and Franchise Tags (with Hal Bent)

February 23, 2023 03:04 - 55 minutes - 104 MB

1. Super Bowl LVII Reactions     -Biggest Lesson Learned (DKrom: Chiefs are a dynasty in the making because a future HOF coach is paired with a future HOF QB, Hal: Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy deserves all the credit for "Corn Dog"...and a head coaching job soon)     -GOAT of the Game (DKrom: Jalen Hurts, Hal: Brett Veach)     -DUNCE of the Game (DKrom: Carl Cheffers, Hal: Eagles DL) 2.

#383: 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl (Conversation with Tony Pauline)

February 05, 2023 23:49 - 4 minutes - 8.81 MB

NFL draft analyst/insider Tony Pauline of the Pro Football Network joined me at the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl to discuss who made some money during the week of practices down in Mobile, why the Bears being able to trade the #1 overall back is no sure thing, his thoughts on the Broncos hire of Sean Payton, and an interesting nugget on the Cardinals head coaching search 

#382: 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl (Carolina Panthers Talk with Mike Kaye)
