Should Bryce Young go No. 1? Mike Rodak dissects Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

Arguably nobody knows the quarterback's game better than Mike Rodak of AL.com. He has seen every snap. He covered Tua Tagovailoa, Mac Jones and Jalen Hurts at Alabama. (And he'll forever hold a special place in the hearts of Bills fans.)
Rodak's insight is exceptional.
Even given Anthony Richardson's unique size, speed and power arm, it'll be awfully difficult for any team to pass on Young.
You can follow Rodak's coverage of the Crimson Tide at AL.com and follow him on Twitter @mikerodak.

Fear the Falcons? Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

Greetings! We come at you live from Fattey Beer in the village of Hamburg, NY, with some jazz music in the background.
Did Calais Campbell choosing Atlanta tell us that we should start taking these Falcons seriously? We saw quite reaction on this take. Here on the podcast, it's time to delve deeper.
Co-host Jim Monos worked with GM Terry Fontenot in New Orleans and there was definitely a common DNA thread to their signings this spring. Of course, the big question is whether or not Desmond Ridder is the answer at quarterback. After the Falcons talk, we revisit the Buffalo Bills' (very) public message to Josh Allen. Here's thinking they need to let Allen be Allen: https://www.golongtd.com/p/let-josh-allen-be-himself.

And stick around for a pre-dinner maneuver that just may change your life...

LeRoy Butler takes the QB's behavior 'personal' Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

Miss the story and full Q&A at Go Long? Here are LeRoy Butler's full thoughts: https://www.golongtd.com/p/leroy-butler-weighs-in-that-g-will
The Pro Football Hall of Famer -- the man who invented the Lambeau Leap and is the team's No. 1 ambassador -- did not mince words when it comes to Aaron Rodgers.
I figured we'd include a few segments from the conversation here on the podcast.
Considering a VIP subscription? We'll have Rob Johnson on the Happy Hour this Friday night to chat about the quarterback controversy with Doug Flutie no one will ever forget: https://www.golongtd.com/p/next-friday-rob-johnson-hangs-with

Inside Tavon Wilson's football fight Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

It's never a coincidence. For a player to last a full 10 years in the NFL, he's got to have a special fight to him.
That is most certainly the case with longtime safety Tavon Wilson. He spent his decade in the NFL with New England, Detroit, Indianapolis and San Francisco. After a full year out of the game, he's at peace with life post-football, too. Be sure to read our longform feature on Wilson from two years ago right here: https://www.golongtd.com/p/the-moments-that-made-tavon-wilson
Here on the podcast, Wilson relives the most harrowing and intense moments from his life -- including losing his mother in drowning accident -- and dishes on everything from his playing days, including what it's really like to play for Bill Belichick.
As always, subscribe to Go Long to get all stories: www.golongtd.com/subscribe.
And when you upgrade to VIP status, you'll gain access to all of our Happy Hours with players from around the NFL. This Friday night, you can relive the quarterback controversy heard 'round the world with former Buffalo Bills starter Rob Johnson: https://www.golongtd.com/p/next-friday-rob-johnson-hangs-with
