All 32 - Buffalo Bills: Josh Allen's progression, defensive improvements continue with Matthew Fairburn (Football 6/3) Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

32 teams, 32 podcasts, 1 guest per team. That's the plan for the podcast in June and on this episode we explore the Buffalo Bills with Matthew Fairburn who is a beat writer for The Athletic. Will Brinson asks if the 2020 Bills could resemble the 2019 Browns, but Matthew tosses in another comparison (1:15). You can't talk about Buffalo and their chances as a contender without zeroing in on 3rd-year quarterback Josh Allen and that's exactly what the guys cover for a large portion of the podcast (5:30). They also examine an already good yet still improving defense (13:00), as well as how fans should set their expectations for the team in 2020 (14:45).

All 32 - Dallas Cowboys: Dak Prescott's deal dilemma, replacing locker room leadership with Jane Slater (Football 6/2) Jun 02, 2020

Show notes

There are 32 teams in the NFL and we're going to cover each and every one throughout the month of June in separate, mini podcasts (20 minutes or fewer!). To kick off our 'All 32' series, we welcome Jane Slater from the NFL Network to discuss the Dallas Cowboys. Obviously, Dak Prescott's deal or lack thereof is the most pressing question surrounding the team, so there's a heavy focus on that. But there's more. How is Mike McCarthy's first 'virtual' offseason going? Also, should there be leadership concerns following offseason departures? Jane outlines 2020 expectations for the 'Boys in this inaugural edition of 'All 32'.

📬 Mailbag Monday: Steelers QB plans, Eagles ceiling, time to give Bill O'Brien some credit? (Football 6/1) Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

Will Brinson is joined by Ryan Wilson, John Breech and Sean Wagner-McGough for another edition of 'Mailbag Monday'. The guys discuss the Steelers plan at QB past Ben Roethlisberger before focusing on the other side of the state and looking at what the Eagles can accomplish in 2020. The Pick Six Superfriends also try to switch up their perspective on Bill O'Brien, the head coach. Sean then de-values running backs (again). Next, we toss it to a portion of last week's mailbag that never aired with conversations on narcissism, the Arizona Cardinals and staying in shape during quarantine.
