    How the NFL Works, S1 E4: 'Get a Quarterback' with Super Bowl champ and ex-NFL exec Jim Monos

    General managers spend seven months meticulously crafting a plan for the NFL season. They piece together a winning formula and sell a contender to ownership, media and fans alike. But you know the legendary Mike Tyson quote. Everyone has a plan until they’re punched in the face. Here at the midway point of the 2024 NFL season, several teams must decide whether they’ve got a realistic chance to win with their current group or if it’s time to plan for 2025. Even then, it gets complicated — what goes into those 2025 plans? Who stays, who goes? For our new show this season — “How the NFL Works” — I welcome back an old friend: Jim Monos. My former podcast co-host worked as scout for the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints — winning a Super Bowl in 2009 — before taking over as the Buffalo Bills director of personnel 2013- ‘17. Now, he’s the GM for the Memphis Showboats of the UFL. For an hour, we get into plenty… * Are the Cincinnati Bengals contenders? Joe Burrow’s crew has a monster game tonight against the Baltimore Ravens. * What now for the New York Giants. I tried to make sense of this team following their latest gut-punch loss in the Monday column. Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll decided to roll with Daniel Jones this season. While the 2-7 record isn’t all on the quarterback, Jones’ ceiling has been clear. We discuss how the Giants should navigate the rest of the season. * The Bills are 7-2. Life’s always good when you’ve got Josh Allen at QB. But January Football should always be on this team’s brain. I ask Monos if the Bills are better equipped to win that inevitable playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs. * Why the 2024 Bills remind Monos of his 2009 Saints. * And throughout the pod, we connect the issues of NFL teams present to Monos’ past. He faced all of these quarterback decisions running the Bills with GM Doug Whaley. More specifically, he understands the danger in sticking with a QB who isn’t the answer. His lesson: Find your guy.

    Ty & Bob Pod: Inside the Detroit Lions' Lambeau beatdown & how the Vikings got their groove back

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.golongtd.com Jordan Love was careless. Jared Goff was flawless. And the Detroit Lions socked the Green Bay Packers with haymakers at the line of scrimmage — jarring considering all of the injuries to Dan Campbell’s crew. We examine the 24-14 defeat in full here on the “Ty & Bob Pod.” Our Pro Football Hall of Famer Bob McGinn reviewed the tape and many of his findings will surprise you. Also, the Minnesota Vikings snapped their two-game skid with a convincing 21-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts at home. It was not perfect. Sam Darnold threw two bad picks and there are questions on the offensive line. But Kevin O’Connell can take a lot of good from this win, from left tackle Cam Robinson’s debut to Justin Jefferson’s dominance to Brian Flores’ defense getting back to its chaotic ways. Go Long paid subscribers can access the full hour and a half. Packers-Lions talk starts the show and we get to the Vikings about an hour in. As always, the “McGinn Memory” tops us off. Audio is above and video is below. Thank you for fueling our independent journalism. Miss our Monday column? I wrote on Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll and the New York Giants’ direction.

    Tyler Bass-O-Matic: Substack Live with Jim Monos

    Tyler Bass missed an extra point on Sunday afternoon against the Miami Dolphins and banked another one in. So, of course, the Buffalo Bills kicker drilled the game-winner from 61 freakin’ yards. What a thriller in Orchard Park as Buffalo outlasted Miami, 30-27, to improve to 7-2. Here at Substack, we’ve now got the ability to bring you live videos. Right inside the app, we’ll start recording more instant reactions to various games and news stories. After this wild finish, it felt like a perfect time to welcome back my old podcast co-host Jim Monos. For those new to Go Long, Monos won a Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints as a southeast scout and served as the Bills’ director of personnel with former GM Doug Whaley. Now, Monos is taking over as GM of the Memphis Showboats in the UFL this upcoming 2025 season. He always brings a fresh perspective. Here’s a quick half-hour on Bills-Dolphins and I’ll sit down with Monos again soon for an episode of “How the NFL Works.” Thanks, everyone.

    Ty & Bob Pod: King of the North? Packers and Lions on a collision course at Lambeau

    The NFC North has been high drama from the get-go this 2024 NFL season. All four teams quickly found hope through all four quarterbacks. Now, the weather’s getting colder, the stakes are rising and we’ll see who can separate. This Sunday, the Detroit Lions (6-1) head to Wisconsin for a date with the Green Bay Packers (6-2). Both clubs are feeling damn good after victories. Who has the edge? How did each team score victories this past Sunday? This week’s episode of the Ty & Bod Pod — with Hall of Fame scribe Bob McGinn — explores in full. Josh Jacobs has become central to the Packers offense. Rookie linebacker Edgerrin Cooper continues to be a menace. Jordan Love is now battling a groin injury. Jaire Alexander’s effort on a few plays left quite a bit to be desired. The Packers are a fascinating (and healthy) bunch right now. We get into everything. The Lions, meanwhile, are again coping with a Jameson Williams incident. Not ideal! Dan Campbell’s search for a pass rush has led him to strange places, too. Elsewhere, the Chicago Bears lost in the most absurd fashion imaginable. Tyrique Stevenson, of course, was caught on camera taunting fans on the final Hail Mary. How did Caleb Williams play? It was an adventure for the No. 1 overall pick. Minnesota lost to the Rams in L.A., and now must replace its dancing-bear left tackle, Christian Darrisaw. While we recording this episode, GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah swung a trade for Cam Robinson. Finally, the “McGinn Memory” is a classic. Let’s just say it involves quarterback Lynn Dickey and dog pee. Go Long subscribers can access the full hour and 38 minutes of analysis. This was a fun one. Audio is above and video is below. My column from Monday recapping Week 8 is the NFL — focusing on GM Brian Gutekunst — is also live, icymi, as is this feature on Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. Thanks, all.

    Why are the Washington Commanders sucker-punching teams in 2024? A chat with J.P. Finlay...

    Apparently, the Washington Commanders were not told this was supposed to be a rebuilding year. So much for a three-year plan. As we near the halfway point, they’re 5-2 and in prime position to win the NFC East. Rookie Jayden Daniels has exceeded the wildest of expectations — those scouts who saw “Mahomes” might’ve correct — and head coach Dan Quinn is one of the best culture-builders in the game. On Friday AM, I’ll have a story on running back Brian Robinson Jr. We sat down in Virginia, and wow. What a road it’s been for the man who absorbed two bullets. Until then, here’s a big-picture podcast on the Commanders. I’m joined by JP Finlay. Finlay covers the Commanders for NBC Sports Washington and hosts “B Mitch & Finley” with former NFL great Brian Mitchell on 106.7 The Fan. You can follow him on X. We get into everything from the offensive line’s play to Daniels’ immediate success to a (very) deep coaching staff. Audio is above and everywhere you pod, including Apple and Spotify.

    Ty & Bob Pod: Inside the Lions-Vikings epic and Jordan Love's gusto at Lambeau

    The best game of the season, to date, was played at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday. Detroit took this heavyweight brawl vs. Minnesota, 31-29. Jared Goff was nearly perfect. Jahmyr Gibbs continues to prove Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell right. The Lions had a handle of Brian Flores’ wacky pressures. And with so many pass rushers out, the Lions relied on pickle-lid tight coverage in the secondary. It was an impressive afternoon for a roste besieged by injury. Here on the Ty & Bob Pod with Hall of Fame sports writer Bob McGinn, we dissect the game in full. Maybe the Vikings lost, but they proved they’re also ready to contend. Sam Darnold was damn good in his own right. Jonathan Greenard is worth every penny, too. Around the one hour-mark, we shift our conversation to the Green Bay Packers’ 24-22 win over the Houston Texans. A healthy Packers team is taking care of business. The Jordan Love Experience was in full effect at Lambeau Field. We prefer the quarterback willing to take chances ‘round here. Meanwhile, Jeff Hafley is off to one of the best starts McGinn has seen out of a first-year Packers defensive coordinator. Finally, the McGinn Memory is another classic. Once upon a time, high school teams played at Lambeau Field. Before the pros took the field, they’d tear the hallowed field up.

    Podcast: Why are the Vikings 5-0? A chat in Eagan with Matthew Coller

    The Minnesota Vikings have a championship formula. Brian Flores’ defense has been in attack mode since Game 1. With money to spend, the Vikings found the pieces he needs. Sam Darnold has launched himself into the MVP conversation. His game’s been a perfect fit with Kevin O’Connell. A team predicted by so many to finish last in the NFC North is 5-0. How did the Vikings get here? How long can it last? Go Long is here to find out. We’ll have stories in the near future on this team. First, here’s a chat with Matthew Coller of Purple Insider. We get into what makes Flores’ scheme special, the coordinator’s own personality post-Dolphins, Darnold’s resurgence and the looming quarterback question of the future. Audio is above. Video is below. You can also listen to this episode everywhere you pod, including Apple and Spotify. Go Long covers the NFL through a longform lens. We are powered by you.

    Ty & Bob Pod: DEFCON 4 post-Hutch in Detroit, Romeo Doubs returns, Caleb Williams lights up London

    We figured the NFC North would be a bare-knuckle brawl. That’s why we built a podcast around the division this 2024 season. Six weeks in, there’s no debate. Minnesota (5-0), Detroit (4-1), Green Bay (4-2) and Chicago (4-2) occupy the best division in football. So, let’s dive in. A loaded episode for you this week with co-host Bob McGinn. The Lions went full Tony Soprano on the Dallas Cowboys, but it came at a steep cost. We begin the show with a ton of Aidan Hutchinson talk. How will Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell replace the sole source of their pass rush? McGinn offers a few realistic trade options. Expect Detroit to be aggressive. It’s Super Bowl or Bust for this team. How did the Lions dismantle the Cowboys, 47-9? McGinn dissects the film as only he can. The offensive line left a trail of bodies in its wake. Carlton Davis is starting to prove why he’s a perfect fit in Campbell’s defense, too… cleat to the face ‘n all. At the 48-minute mark, we shift to the Packers’ blowout win over the Arizona Cardinals. More specifically, wide receiver Romeo Doubs. We got to know the wide receiver with a two-part feature: There’s a lot to unpack. Is Doubs pissed? Where do the two sides go from here? Here’s thinking the two parties are best together. Doubs is exactly what the Packers need on offense. McGinn uncovers a lot on film, too. Rookies Edgerrin Cooper and Evan Williams are heating up in a big way. Zach Tom’s been excellent. Jaire Alexander is forever a topic of conversation. As for the Chicago Bears? Caleb Williams is getting better every single week. Across the pond, the No. 1 overall pick torched Jacksonville for four touchdown passes. We both like what OC Shane Waldron’s dialing up on offense. Bears talk starts at the 1:20 mark. This week’s “McGinn Memory” is a classic, too. Bob brings us back to his quarterback days in the U.P., when a future NFL pro lined up on the other side of the ball. Full episodes of the Ty & Bob Pod are always available to our paid subscribers.
