EP #4: Welcome back to another episode of "Off the Edge with Cam Jordan"! Cam is back in the studio, and despite a tough loss for the Saints against the Buccaneers, with a final score of 26-9, he's here to break down exactly what happened.

Then, Cam takes a moment to highlight Los Angeles Chargers’ Khalil Mack's incredible performance this past Sunday, where he notched an impressive 6 sacks against the Las Vegas Raiders. Switching gears, Cam shifts his focus to the Seattle Seahawks, who showcased a dominant defensive display against the Giants. He discusses what makes their defense a force to be reckoned with.

Then Cam breaks down the infamous “tush push” and why the Eagles are the only team to get it right.

But that's not all! Cam welcomes a special guest, his friend, Raiders’ defense end Maxx Crosby, as they delve into the nuances that separate the good from the great in the world of defensive ends, his fiery passion as a player, the leadership dynamics within the Raiders' locker room.

And finally, Cam takes us into the trenches, breaking down the fundamental differences between defensive ends and edge rushers, offering listeners a unique perspective on these two different positions.
