NFL tables 4th-and-15 rule proposal, Jadeveon Clowney turns down Browns, Antonio Brown workouts continue (Football 5/29) May 29, 2020

Show notes

We thought there might be an onside-kick alternative in the NFL in 2020, but not so fast. On Thursday, the '4th-and-15' rule proposal was tabled by owners (3:15), as Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson, John Breech and Sean Wagner-McGough offer their reactions. The guys also discuss the rules that were passed (8:45) The Pick Six Superfriends then dissect the ongoing free agency of Jadeveon Clowney (20:30), as he reportedly turned down an offer from the Browns. That sparks a separate Baker Mayfield vs. Tyrod Taylor debate (doesn't take much for these guys to go off on a tangent!). Jalen Ramsey's contract situation (31:30), Antonio Brown's viral workouts (40:15) and The Match II between Tiger Woods/Peyton Manning & Phil Mickelson/Tom Brady (45:30) are all covered as well.

The 'rookie learning curve' isn't an excuse anymore. Which 2nd-year players are ready to make "the leap" in 2020? Will Brinson and Chris Trapasso dive into a list of guys that are poised to breakout and some that could disappoint again. Will and Chris examine the class of 2019 quarterbacks including Kyler Murray (5:00), Daniel Jones (13:30), Dwayne Haskins (20:35), Drew Lock (26:50) and Gardner Minshew (30:50). Then, they take a look at the rest of last year's Top 10 (36:30), plus some additional leapers and non-leapers.

Show notes

What could training camps around the league look like in July? Well, Jason La Canfora attempts to break down the state of the league at the moment based on conversations that he's had with those in the NFL about their upcoming plans (2:00). Next, JLC details to Will Brinson the latest with Jamal Adams (13:00). Why won't the Jets just pay up?

2020 NFL Survivor Squad: Building a perfect roster with one pick from each team (Football 5/26) May 26, 2020

Show notes

What happens when you have to build an NFL squad with only one representative from each team? Well that's an exercise that Jared Dubin recently completed and discussed with Will Brinson. Patrick Mahomes and Bill Belichick have to be locks, right? There's a few more certainties on Dubin's list (6:30), but then things get tricky. The guys explore offensive selections (18:55), while mixing in other considerations for each position and team. Then, it's the defense's turn (35:15).

Detailing Dak Prescott's reported new contract offer, Top 25 Players Under 25 (Football 5/22) May 22, 2020

Show notes

The Dak Prescott reports and rumors continue to run rampant this offseason and of course, the Pick Six Superfriends had to address the latest offer out there, a reported 5-year, $175m deal (7:10). What do those numbers actually mean and how could they be affected by a potential loss of revenue and drop in the salary cap? Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson, John Breech and Sean Wagner-McGough are on the case. Then, on the heels of breaking down Pete Prisco's Top 100 NFL Players list, the guys examine Sean's annual list of the Top 25 Players Under 25 (34:15). Who was snubbed? Too high? Too low? Just right? The guys offer their analysis of the full list.

The Match II: Betting Preview, Analysis for Tiger/Manning vs. Phil/Brady (First Cut Golf Podcast Crossover) (5/21) May 21, 2020

Show notes

This weekend two legends of the links team up with legends of the gridiron for a special golf event raising money for COVID-19 relief. Tiger Woods is joining forces with Peyton Manning while Phil Mickelson will partner up with Tom Brady. In the interest of team spirit, we’ve invited Will Brinson from Pick Six NFL Podcast to join our foursome. We’re bringing you our comprehensive preview of “The Match: Champions for Charity” or as we call it, “The Match II”. Where does the Peyton Manning-Tom Brady rivalry stand in the history of great sports rivalries and how does it compare to the rivalry that Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson developed over the past two decades (5:00)? We also go in depth with a full breakdown of the match format and how it could benefit one team over the other (15:15). Our own Greg DuCharme spent his early days as a golf pro working at Medalist Golf Club, the site of this weekends match. Greg breaks the course down and tells us what to expect (25:10). After the break, we’re hitting you with our picks and favorite props for this weekend. Can Tiger and Peyton close out Phil and Brady early? We go into why Lefty and Tom Terrific might just have some magic up their sleeve stun Big Cat and The Sheriff (30:45)?

Top 100 NFL Players with Pete Prisco (Part 2) - Dak vs. Deshaun, Cook vs. Henry and more lingering questions (Football 5/21) May 21, 2020

Show notes

Pete Prisco has defended the elite of his Top 100 NFL Players list (check out yesterday's pod in the feed for Part 1). Now it's time for him to further explain his sometimes curious placement of several players outside of the 25 best. Does Jalen Ramsey belong at 26? Is DeAndre Hopkins really the 4th-best wide receiver in football? Should Dak Prescott be ranked 16 spots ahead of Deshaun Watson? Prisco and host Will Brinson dive into the remaining questions from his list with plenty of debate and debunking.

Top 100 NFL Players with Pete Prisco (Part 1) - Old school vs. new school quarterbacks (Football 5/20) May 20, 2020

Show notes

With nearly 2,000 players in the NFL, being named one of the Top 100 is a pretty prestigious honor. Especially if that placement is bestowed by our own Pete Prisco. Pete got out the abacus and tossed some film on the projector to crank out his annual list, which was unveiled on Wednesday and discussed further on the podcast. Go read Pete's article so he joins us again. Last year, it was Aaron Donald at #1, but there was no stopping Patrick Mahomes this year. A shocking placement for Russell Wilson, proving old dogs can learn new tricks (Prisco not Wilson), as Russ earned his highest ever ranking from Pete. A running back at #5? Okay, the quarantine must be getting to our senior NFL writer. Does he lean on legacy too much for Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Tom Brady? There's a set of brothers in the Top 25, but not necessarily who you'd think... Tune back in tomorrow for a deeper breakdown of the Top 100 as we hit more lingering questions that present themselves with such a dynamic list.

Breaking down the biggest snubs from Pete Prisco's list of the Top 100 NFL Players (Football 5/19) May 19, 2020

Show notes

Lists are meant to be argued and picked apart. And that's exactly what happened on this episode of Pick Six, as Will Brinson and Bryant McFadden took a preliminary look at Pete Prisco's list of the Top 100 NFL players and needless to say, had some issues with it. Brinson and BMac evaluated Prisco's misses at quarterback (3:15), wide receiver (10:05), running back (22:00) and defense (27:00)...Pete will have a chance to defend himself on tomorrow's episode as we delve further into his Top 100.
