Latest Episodes:

Kevin O'Connell, Mike Zimmer and why "culture" matters in Minnesota Sep 03, 2022

Show notes

Culture.
The word alone may make you puke.
What does it even mean? We are about to find out with these 2022 Minnesota Vikings. Out is the miserable Mike Zimmer, in is the uber-optimistic Kevin O'Connell... so what does it mean? That's what Go Long tried to figure out over at the newsletter. You can read those two parts right here: https://www.golongtd.com/p/its-a-new-day-for-the-minnesota-vikings
Here on the podcast, we continue the conversation. Co-host Jim Monos has also grappled with the decision to slam the reset button or go for it in an NFL front office.
Also, we detail some of our pod plans for 2022! And you can always give the newsletter a shot on the free email list: GoLongTD.com.

The Buffalo Bills' Matt Araiza disaster Aug 28, 2022

Show notes

The Buffalo Bills cut their punter accused of gang-raping a 17-year-old. It should have never gotten to this point, either.
The Bills eventually did the right thing, but if the public never learns of these accusations, he'd still be the team's punter. Warning: There are disturbing details from the civil lawsuit shared on the podcast.

Steve Calhoun explains why Jordan Love will be 'one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL' Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

Go Long chats with the man who has coached Jordan Love since eighth grade: Steve Calhoun of "Armed & Dangerous."
Calhoun explains in great detail why we are all seeing a completely different Green Bay Packers quarterback in Year 3, from the movement of *both* eyeballs to how he plants his left foot. If you enjoy nerding out on quarterback play, I think you'll love this conversation. Calhoun has mentored Love for a long, long time and sees him starring one day.

Happy Hour: Richie Incognito on his unparalled football life Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

The hell-raising NFL guard dishes on everything: the bullying scandal, the Bills days, his best war stories, Aaron Kromer, Mario Williams, Derek Carr and finding purpose in life today for 85 minutes. We'll never see another Richie Incognito, that is for certain.
You won't want to miss all of the stories he shares with subscribers on our latest Happy Hour, which we're including here on the podcast feed. As always, when you subscribe to Go Long you gain access to these hangouts with players from around the NFL. Not a member? Join our community today: GoLongTD.com.
Where to even start? Incognito has stories for days. Many are fun, like his old battles in the trenches vs. Darnell Dockett and Antonio Smith. Many are much darker. Like the night in 2018 that Jonathan Martin was actually en route to kill him. I was sitting next to Incognito in Scottsdale, Ariz., when he saw Martin's threat on Instragram. His next 24 hours were crazy, as you'll hear. He relives it all.
Whenever Incognito doesn't have football, things tend to go off the rails. Now that he's retired, is he ready?
Our Bills fans here on the pod will also appreciate many Bills stories. The Rex days were wild. He's also bullish on new offensive line coach Aaron Kromer.
If you enjoy, please feel free to share the podcast with a friend and sign up at the newsletter today.
Thanks, all!

Brainiac or Maniac: Which type of head coach is best in today's NFL? Aug 19, 2022

Show notes

We name Jim Monos the GM of a team and allow him to choose exactly the type of head coach he'd want. Do you opt for the play-designing, playcalling wiz like Mike McDaniel, the kneecap-biting Dan Campbell? With Hard Knocks in full swing, we analyze the psychology of coaching today. (Monos' choice is going to surprise you, too.)
There's the headlines to discuss: Deshaun Watson's suspension, Tom Brady's absence, Sean McDermott playing his starters in the preseason.
And, finally, we take all of your most outlandish questions.

The Packers want to kick ass in 2022, with the Journal Sentinel's Tom Silverstein Aug 14, 2022

Show notes

These aren't the Packers we're used to seeing. This season, they're trying to win with defense and special teams. Will it work? We ask the one man who'd know better than anyone on the beat: the Journal Sentinel's Tom Silverstein.
What a fun time reconnecting with an old friend. Silverstein details what made LeRoy Butler great in light of the safety's Hall of Fame induction and breaks down Green Bay's chances of getting over the Super Bowl hump this season. His answer may surprise you, too. The formula certainly has changed for this franchise -- they'll just need the quarterback to buy in.

Ja'Marr Chase is about to blow up and the Bengals D is legit, with The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. Aug 14, 2022

Show notes

The excellent Bengals beat writer takes everyone inside the rise of one of America's most fascinating teams. How did Cincinnati turn it around in 2021? Turns out culture does matter.
Also, Paul Dehner Jr. explains how Ja'Marr Chase is taking his game to another level in Year 2 and why this Bengals defense doesn't get nearly enough love nationally.

A good 'ol fashioned REDRAFT of the 2016 class says a lot about 2022 Aug 12, 2022

Show notes

The best way to hit on the storylines of today? Revisiting the draft six years ago.
Former Buffalo Bills director of personnel Jim Monos was part of that '16 draft. He redrafts the top 10 picks. Who's No. 1? The Dallas Cowboys clearly got the steal of a lifetime in Dak Prescott, but haven't exactly taken advantage of it since. Joey Bosa or Jalen Ramsey? Yannick Ngakoue or DeForest Buckner? We discuss, debate and tell all sorts of stories from Hamburg Brewing Company.
To get all of our content at Go Long, sign up for the newsletter today. For this week's feature, Kenny Clark opens up. He wants to be an all-time great -- and he believes these Packers can win with defense in 2022. https://www.golongtd.com/welcome

Camp Tour: Colts and Bengals Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

The Go Long caravan of one continued through Westfield, Ind., and Cincinnati, Ohio last week. In addition to our coverage at GoLongTD.com, here's a quick audio report.
Indy will be counting on Matt Ryan getting its offense over the hump. Can he? Also, Go Long caught up with star running back Jonathan Taylor: https://www.golongtd.com/p/camp-tour-jonathan-taylor-is-still
Meanwhile, there are quarterback issues in Cincinnati. This secondary may be most equipped to battle the loaded offenses in the AFC, too.
As always, you can read all of our coverage at the newsletter. Here's the latest on corner Eli Apple: https://www.golongtd.com/p/camp-tour-eli-apple-sends-peace-and
