Latest Episodes:

Herm Edwards on football passion, Arizona State gig, Jets' tenure, Miracle at the Meadowlands & defensive back evolution May 19, 2021

Show notes

Herm Edwards is a football lifer with loads of wisdom to pass along which he has done for years as a coach and continues to share on this episode as our latest guest (33:00)! But first, P2 and BMac chop it up on Vikings OTAs and react to Minnesota's 2021 regular season schedule (1:30). Which game does P2 have circled already? We think you may know the answer. Coming off an incredible performance last week, the namesake of 'Has Pat Heard!?' attempts to continue his hot streak (11:45). '7 Questions' takes a look at WR matchups Pat P is looking forward to this season and he retells a story involving one of his early battles with Calvin Johnson (24:30). We need to add to our secondary with someone who played the position and coached the position. Former defensive back and current Arizona State head football coach Herm Edwards joins hosts Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden to discuss everything from his playing days to coaching days (33:00). Herm fills the guys in on his style as a player and how corners have evolved through the years. He also breaks down the most famous play of his career, known as 'The Miracle at the Meadowlands' to Eagles' fans and simply as 'The Fumble' to Giants' fans. Edwards describes his interest and influences in coaching with credit to guys like Tony Dungy, Dick Vermeil and Marty Schottenheimer. While an assistant in Tampa, he had the opportunity to coach Ronde Barber and speaks to why he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Coach details his first opportunity at a head job with the Jets, getting traded to the Chiefs and stresses the importance of having a good quarterback. Why are we seemingly not making much progress when it comes to hiring more diverse coaches? That subject is tackled by the guys before they get into the Sun Devils, assessing the feedback around Herm's hire, his confidence heading into Year 4 with the program and what his future in coaching holds. Finally, Superlatives, where we learn the background behind "You Play To Win The Game!"

Teddy Bridgewater on trade to the Broncos, what Panthers need to fix, comeback mentality and South Florida roots May 12, 2021

Show notes

Teddy Bridgewater's name has been in the news but he hasn't spoken to the media since his trade from Carolina to Denver. That changes on this episode as Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden chat with the new Broncos quarterback about his current situation and entire career (32:00). But first, Pat P and BMac chop things up on one of Teddy's teammates and how the organization and the NFL is approach his injury. Ja'Wuan James tore his Achilles during an off-site workout which has sparked a debate about how these situations should be handled in terms of compensation. Our hosts weigh in (1:30). P2 puts forth a phenomenal effort in 'Has Pat Heard!?' causing a conversation if the segment should be retired (10:00)! Peterson and McFadden each share teammates they looked up to during '7 Questions' (23:30). Next, it's time to expand the coverage and welcome on another signal caller. Teddy Bridgewater joins the podcast to share his journey (32:00). Teddy takes us from Opa-Locka to Louisville, Minnesota, New York (very briefly), New Orleans, Carolina and now Denver. He was around one of the greatest high school football teams ever - 2007 Miami Northwestern - and explains what he took away from that squad. While many members of that team went on to play locally in college at Miami, Bridgewater forged his own path at Louisville. A few years later, another South Florida QB followed in his foot steps and ended up being the #32nd pick in the draft...Teddy shares his thoughts on Lamar Jackson and the criticism he often receives. #5 then offers some advice for how Pat P can handle the cold in Minnesota. Our great guest then speaks openly about his horrifying injury he suffered in 2016, how it changed his thought process and his road to recovery. Learning from Drew Brees is something any quarterback could benefit from, and Teddy says his two years in New Orleans did wonders for his process. Did he get a fair shot in Carolina? And how is he approaching a quarterback competition in Denver? Finally, we finish on Superlatives!

Fred Taylor on Tim Tebow, his Hall of Fame candidacy, Jaguars' draft, power of perception, podcast success May 05, 2021

Show notes

It's about time Fred Taylor gets his due. Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden do that by welcoming on the former Gator and Jaguar great to discuss recent moves made by his old organization and to highlight his case for the Hall of Fame and lots more (29:00). But first, our co-hosts chop it up on the NFL Draft with a focus on the Vikings' pick and how some of our former guests fared (2:00). 'Has Pat Heard' tests P2's knowledge of juicy football rumors (11:30), while we learn Pat's first impressions of Minnesota during our newly re-branded '7 Questions' segment (23:15). Then it's time to chat with a great pro (whether it be at football or podcasting), Fred Taylor (29:00). Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne are now Jags, so what does the man who spent 11 years with the organization think of the selections? Tim Tebow is also rumored to potentially be joining the team as we hear Fred's feelings about his return. Taylor then shares what it was like growing up in Belle Glade, Florida, and addresses the legend of kids chasing rabbits in his hometown. He traveled north to the University of Florida for his college career then not too far to Jacksonville for his pro career as we discover more about those experiences. Fred details how injuries early in his career could have negatively impacted the perception of his game in the long run. Playing in a small football market also didn't help his case when it came time for Pro Bowl selections. Despite all that, he built a strong case for the Hall of Fame and believes he will eventually be inducted. Hear Taylor relive memories of a 2007 playoff matchup vs. the Steelers and explain why his podcast "I Am Athlete" has found so much success. Superlatives attempt to settle the greatest Jaguar of all time!

Santana Moss on "Hennessy Game" vs. Cowboys, reclaiming glory at Miami, perception of undersized WRs and Sean Taylor's memory Apr 28, 2021

Show notes

The South Florida flavor continues on All Things Covered as we welcome our second Miami Hurricane in as many weeks. Santana Moss not only dominated on the college stage at 'The U' but brought that playmaking ability to the league for a successful 14-year NFL career. He joins co-hosts Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden to discuss his path and shares some tremendous stories along the way (31:00). But first, Pat and BMac chop things up, starting with another big announcement from P2 himself (1:15)! It's NFL Draft week, as the guys take a trip down memory lane to the 2011 draft before quickly analyzing what's in store for the 2021 draft (8:00). What will the Vikings do at #14? "Has Pat Heard!?" truly puts a traveling Pat Peterson to the test (15:45), while "21 Questions" explores why Ronde Barber isn't in the Hall of Fame (22:30). After halftime, we bring a wide receiver into the game plan (31:00). Santana Moss grew up in Miami, but his allegiances weren't solely to the hometown Hurricanes during his youth. He explains why he adored the Seminoles all the way until they failed to offer him coming out of high school. The guys then explore Moss' time at 'The U', how his freshmen class was able to restore glory to the program, what it was like seeing them win a national title the year after he left and if the refs had something against the school. Is that 2001 squad the best college team ever? We jump to the pros as Santana offers his reaction to being a 1st-round selection alongside college teammate Reggie Wayne, Daniel Snyder's desire to bring him to Washington and the perception of undersized wide receivers. Our guest balled out in 2005 once arriving in DC and tells us what led to that breakout campaign. Santana has been open before about drinking Hennessy pregame, but the legend goes to another level when discussing a matchup vs. the Cowboys in 2007. Sean Taylor was the heartbeat for both Miami and WFT, as Moss details the profound impact his passing had on so many people. Superlatives focus on the Mount Rushmore of Miami Hurricanes and the most under-appreciated WR in the game.

Kirk Cousins on viral moments, split from Washington, Vikings' tenure and teaming up with Patrick Peterson Apr 21, 2021

Show notes

We think you'll like our latest guest...For the first time, Patrick Peterson welcomes on a new teammate of his, as we went straight to the top of the Vikings' depth chart for a fantastic chat with quarterback Kirk Cousins (38:00). Before Captain Kirk, our hosts chop it up on Pat's farewell letter to Arizona that recently appeared in The Players Tribune (1:30). A month after making the decision to join a new team, he's fully ready to reflect on his decade in the desert. P2 also opens up about one of the lows he experienced while with the Cardinals, which was finding out he was a diabetic (4:30). 'Has Pat Heard!?' follows as we tap into some sports ownership news, Alex Smith's retirement and the new NCAA transfer rule (13:00). Who are the guys funniest teammates ever? '21 Questions' has the answers (28:00). Next, it's time to get familiar with Kirk Cousins (38:00). Kirk shares his excitement over Pat P heading North and braces him for what to expect in the Minnesota winters. Cousins is no stranger to viral moments and we cover a bunch of them, starting with him hitting the Griddy (popularized by Justin Jefferson) in Week 17. The Michigan native shares more on his journey from 2-star recruit to 2-time Pro Bowler about to enter his 10th season in the NFL. He also details some of his experiences at Michigan State, which included a 4-0 record vs. the Wolverines and being teammates with 2 future NFL QBs, Nick Foles and Brian Hoyer. Kirk takes us back in time to the 2012 NFL Draft and the emotions of being the 8th quarterback selected. You better believe he remembers each player taken ahead of him at his position. "You Like That!?" is a clip that will never be forgotten, as Cousins discusses the origin stories of that moment. Listen to hear about what it was like playing on the franchise tag, why the split from Washington happened and how he ended up in Minny. The guys chop it up about last season for the Vikings and take a look ahead to 2021 and dethroning the Packers in the division. Finally, Superlatives reveal Kirk's most outlandish purchase, which surprise, isn't all that outlandish!

How NFL players can be set up for healthier lives once their football career is over and the importance of mental health for athletes Apr 16, 2021

Show notes

This episode goes in a different direction than normal but we aim to cover all things, as the name promises. Last week, a tragedy occurred in which a former NFL player, Philip Adams, shot and killed 6 people in Rock Hill, South Carolina, before taking his own life. While we are unaware of exact details, the incident leads to a discussion on the physical and mental state of players in the aftermath of their football careers. Chris Hope played in the NFL for 11 seasons and also served as a mentor to Adams, as the two hailed from the same hometown. Hope joins hosts Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden as they have an honest conversation about the side effects of playing football. We want to make it clear that Philip Adams is not the victim but we also want to explore ways for ex-players to lead healthier lives. Chris ends the chat by saying "We're all going through something. You ain't in this by yourself, so don't be afraid to ask for help." That message is for everyone as our crew tries to convey on this episode. The National Suicide Prevention Hotline is 1-800-273-8255.

Gregory Rousseau on opting out, positional versatility, South Florida football influences, and plans to attend the NFL Draft in Cleveland Apr 14, 2021

Show notes

Gregory Rousseau only played 546 college snaps, but he made an incredible impact during his short tenure at Miami. Now, he's preparing for the NFL Draft and took some time during that process to join Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden to discuss his journey (38:00). But first our hosts chop it up on a multitude of topics. The guys start by breaking down their pre-draft interview process (1:15). What was the weirdest question they both received? Pat and BMac continue to bounce around, focusing on a potential boycott of offseason workouts (10:45), Hideki Matsuyama's Masters' win (13:45) and the untimely passing of hip hop legend, DMX (19:00). 'Has Pat Heard!?' follows testing P2 on Julian Edelman's retirement, Aaron Rodgers hosting Jeopardy! and Eddie George being named the head coach at Tennessee State (23:45). '21 Questions' gives the guys a chance to get technical when it comes to DBs (31:45). Then it's time to welcome our guest and soon-to-be 1st-round pick (38:00). Gregory Rousseau details day-to-day life since opting out and what led him to the decision to forego playing for the Hurricanes in 2020. He also takes us back in time to explain why he signed with Miami and what led to him pursuing defense over offense in college. Greg is a monster off the EDGE at 6'7 and shares that super-tall trait with another former Hurricane, Calais Campbell, who has acted as a mentor to the draft prospect. While Greg ended his high school career in Dade County, he grew up in Broward County just like Pat and BMac. He explains how his roots helped him believe he could achieve his pro football dreams. Rousseau evaluates his Pro Day performance, opens up about how he responds to teams asking about a lack of film and lets us in on the organizations that have shown the most interest during the pre-draft process. Greg will be in attendance in Cleveland, but hasn't decided if he'll go for the handshake or hug with Commissioner Roger Goodell. We learn more about his positional versatility, before ending on Superlatives!

NFL Draft prospects Jaycee Horn and Asante Samuel Jr. both have famous football dads but are attempting to create their own legacy Apr 07, 2021

Show notes

Jaycee Horn (28:00) and Asante Samuel Jr. (59:00) are both top cornerback prospects in this year's draft class whose dads were perennial Pro Bowl players. But they also have their own unique journeys that we attempt to share on this show. Before we get to our guests, co-hosts Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden chop it up on the pre-draft workouts (1:30). After not stepping on a scale for months, P2 was SHOCKED when they called out his weight at the combine. 'Has Pat Heard?' tests Pat on a recent NFL trade, some ink for his former coach, jersey number news and the Masters (10:45). '21 Questions' puts BMac on the spot to deliver his best CB in the 2021 NFL Draft (21:45). Then, we expand our secondary!

Jaycee Horn did have a famous dad (Joe) that played in the NFL, but he has more than made a name for himself during college at South Carolina and throughout the draft process. On this episode, the CB prospect joins co-hosts and fellow corners Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden to discuss his journey (28:00). Jaycee explains how he has tried to emulate Pat P over the years, his first football memories and his dad's famous cell phone celebration video. He also covers his recruiting process which included a switch from Tennessee to the Gamecocks, stepping in as a freshman starter in the SEC and his recent Pro Day performance. Horn firmly believes he's not only the best cornerback in this class, but the best defensive player as well. BMac has studied Jaycee and gives an extensive breakdown of his game as the guys then share tricks that he'll be able to use at the next level. Finally, Superlatives!

Asante Samuel Jr. carries the name of a former All-Pro corner but is trying to carve his own path at the same position in the NFL. The prospect out of Florida State joins Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden to discuss that path (59:00). Asante describes what it was like having a dad in the league and how playing high school at St. Thomas Aquinas prepared him for college at FSU. We also learn in what areas he's trying to improve his game as Pat and BMac dish out more defensive back tips. Samuel Jr. breaks down his draft expectations and the teams he has been getting a good vibe from before finishing with Superlatives!

NFL Draft Hidden Gems: University of Charleston WR Mike Strachan & Florida State EDGE Janarius Robinson share their unique stories Apr 03, 2021

Show notes

With the NFL Draft quickly approaching, we'll be highlighting several top talents that could be 1st-round selections. But for every Patrick Peterson (going high in the draft) there are players down the draft board grinding to prove that they belong. That's the focus of this episode as we feature two potential hidden gems, Mike Strachan (1:30) from the University of Charleston and Janarius Robinson (18:15) from Florida State.

Mike Strachan (1:30) is a true hidden gem that could win up being the steal of the 2021 NFL Draft. The Bahamas native shares his background which includes leaving his home country at 16 to pursue his football dream in the United States. Mike explains how he landed at the University of Charleston in West Virginia, his crazy Pro Day stats, and his approach to being the underdog (despite his massive size). Strachan is 6'5, 228 and runs his 40 in the 4.3s or 4.4s, so on paper, his Calvin Johnson comparisons aren't crazy!

Janarius Robinson (18:15) is a name you'll hear during the 2021 NFL Draft and on Sundays next fall. The EDGE prospect out of Florida State joins Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden to detail his path to the pros that includes some tragic bumps along the way. Janarius and his mother lost their home in Panama City due to Hurricane Michael in October of 2018. He shares what that experience taught him and how it motivated him as he returned to the field. Robinson explains what it means to be a part of the FSU family. He also speaks about his Senior Bowl and Pro Day experiences and why NFL teams should take a shot on him.

Corey Brewer on Florida's repeat titles, friendship with Al Horford & Joakim Noah, March Madness nostalgia, Mavericks' 2011 title, Zion Williamson's crazy athleticism Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

Although our focus has heavily been on football, we can't ignore March Madness! And who better to talk to than a two-time champion and former Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four? Corey Brewer who was part of the last team to win back-to-back titles joins Bryant McFadden for a wide-ranging conversation that covers college and the pros. Corey is known for playing with a smile on his face and explains where that love of the game stems from. He also discusses the 2004 recruiting class he was a part of, one that also included Joakim Noah, Al Horford and Taurean Green for the University of Florida. The highest-ranked recruit of that bunch details when the Gators realized they could win it all in 2006, their desire to come back and try again in 2007 and where those teams stack up in college hoops history. Brewer discusses why programs simply don't even threaten to repeat anymore, the feeling of cutting down the nets and being in Gainesville during Tebowmania. As we transition to his NBA career, we cover the difficulties of going from the warmth and winning to the cold and losing (aka the Minnesota Timberwolves). Brewer's fortunes soon changed as he linked up with the Dallas Mavericks and won another title in 2011. He describes the mentality going up against the LeBron James led Heat and what it was like partying in Miami after the series-clinching victory. BMac taps into a few specific games from Corey's career including his 51-point night in 2014 and his big role in the Rockets' 3-1 series comeback vs. the Clippers in the 2015 playoffs. After nearly a decade, the swingman was reunited with his college coach Billy Donovan in Oklahoma City before some super memorable moments on a 10-day contract with the Sixers and a bubble appearance with the Kings. Corey is now a coach for the New Orleans Pelicans and details the growth of Brandon Ingram as well as the freakish athleticism of Zion Williamson. Finally, Superlatives!
