Awesome in-depth conversations about football that are great for learning. Sound effects are corny enough to almost make me want to stop listening.

I just found this podcast a week ago and have been excited to listen to all episodes now. Great insights about the game, the league, and especially the underappreciated role of offensive line and how important team and group cohesiveness mean to success. I love listening to veterans with a winning mindset and navigating the ups and downs of a locker room. I also appreciate some OL legends of the game - Anthony Muñoz, Jackie Slater, Nick Mangold, Corey Lindsley and then other positions - Jared Allen, Christian McCaffery, Luke Keukley. I love the insights of hard work, preparation and field study, the nuances of the game, the changes in the game (PFF rankings and fantasy football) and creating a long term winning culture. LOVE this! Thanks Audible and thanks to Ryan and team!

Great insights - esp for offensive line

Couple of real gems about film study. Seems so obvious once it was pointed out. I look forward each week to have access to great info. Better than clinics.

Great insight.

As a long-time Panthers fan I will admit to some bias, but Ryan just really brings it with this series. I have learned more football from this podcast than from 20 years of watching football, reading books, and listening to the sports media could ever hope to teach me. Listen up, sports people. THIS is what we want: smart, funny, poignant, interesting, educational, real information about how football works; how the NFL works; what GMs do; how coaches think. You name it, Ryan has or will discuss it. Many fans are for the most part on our own, struggling to understand football with little to no help, and so we end up being stupid fans with stupid opinions. Now along comes this podcast - a master class in understanding the game and the league. But I am hardly surprised since Ryan was always smart, funny, dry, and deep - and we miss him very much in Charlotte. Make this go on forever, Ryan. I am loving every minute.

This is how it should be done

Huge fan of Ryan and thoroughly enjoying his interviews. It has been great having a lineman's perspective asking the questions.

A great perspective for an interviewer.
