Urban Meyer is a disease Dec 17, 2021

Show notes

Grinding on a young woman who is not his wife. Kicking his kicker. Hiring a strength coach who was accused of racism.
Zero results on the field.
The Urban Meyer Experience could not have gone any worse and, now, he’s finished. Jacksonville finally decided enough was enough and fired Meyer this week. On this week’s episode of the Go Long Podcast, with former Buffalo Bills director of personnel Jim Monos, we try to make sense of it all.
Also, is Sean McDermott holding back quarterback Josh Allen in Buffalo? He may be.
Who’s the NFL MVP? Monos is high on Aaron Rodgers.

T.J. Ward, conscientious headhunter Dec 15, 2021

Show notes

He was an enforcer on one of the last true violent secondaries of our time.
From Cleveland to Denver, T.J. Ward was one of the most feared safeties in pro football. He made two Pro Bowls (2013, 2014), was a second team All-Pro and then had the game of his life in a 2015 Super Bowl win over Carolina.
His “No Fly Zone” DB group — which included Aqib Talib, Chris Harris Jr. and Darian Stewart — perfectly complemented Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware up front to shut down Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady and league MVP Cam Newton that postseason.
In this hourlong conversation with Go Long, the bruising safety opens up on that Broncos defense, all of the concussions he suffered over the years, why the NFL has gone too far with player safety (and may look like rugby one day) and, also, why he believes the league blackballed him. Ward had a bad experience with the Buccaneers in 2017, couldn’t sign with anyone for two years and had a cup ‘o joe with the Cardinals last season before retiring.
He does not hold back — on anything.

This was an embarrassing loss for Sean McDermott's Bills Dec 07, 2021

Show notes

Everyone knew the Patriots were going to run the football and the Buffalo Bills could not stop it. They were soft in the trenches again.
Meanwhile, Josh Allen played well in the crazy Western New York wind... right up to the final drive. At his salary, he needs to make one of these plays.
We relive the Patriots' wacky 14-10 win over the Bills on MNF here on the podcast. It all starts at the top with Sean McDermott.
Also, if you stick around, you'll find out why Doug Marrone quit on the Bills. Co-host Jim Monos shares the behind-the-scenes reasoning. I don't think you'll want to miss it.

Ep 14: Aaron Rodgers has an MVP performance Nov 30, 2021

Show notes

The reason the Los Angeles Rams have treated draft picks like junk mail was to win the Super Bowl this season. That’s it. Nothing else is acceptable for Sean McVay’s club.

One year ago, they lost to the Packers, 32-18, in the divisional round. Together, Matthew Stafford, Jalen Ramsey, Von Miller and Odell Beckham Jr., were supposed to flip that score and elevate the Rams back to the Super Bowl which is, conveniently, in their own stadium this season.

So, how’s that working out? Not good.

The Packers delivered the Rams a numbing reality check on Sunday evening at Lambeau Field with a 36-28 win. On this week’s “Ty & Bob Pod,” we dissect it all… and also give Bob a moment to bask in Michigan’s gigantic triumph. Davante Adams, again, showed why he’s one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. AJ Dillon, again, blasted a defender into tomorrow. The defense allowed a couple big plays but, again, didn’t need to do anything crazy schematically with Kenny Clark and Rashan Gary mauling folks.

And while Stafford remained Stafford with another pick-six, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was even better than you think. His sterling numbers don’t tell the full story, either. The reigning MVP was surgical downfield and helped his own offensive line a ton against one of the best defensive fronts in the league.

Enjoy the full podcast above.

Thanks, everyone.
