Leonard Williams talks Facing Philip Rivers this Sunday, Seahawks Hunt for NFC #1 Seed, Pros & Cons of a Hybrid D-lineman, His Anime Fandom

On the latest Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast, Cam welcomes Seahawks Pro Bowl defensive tackle Leonard Williams for a wide-ranging, funny, and surprisingly nerdy conversation that goes from playoffs to Pro Bowls to Pokémon. Leonard breaks down why this Seahawks squad is the best team he’s ever been on. He and Cam also chop it up about Seattle’s push for the top playoff seed in the NFC, the importance of a first-round bye, and how different it feels playing meaningful December football after years on teams that didn’t win. He opens up about how joining Seattle changed his career trajectory, what it’s like playing for head coach Mike McDonald, and the life of a hybrid defensive lineman. From Philip Rivers NFL return to USC football to anime debates to becoming a father, this conversation is a blend of football IQ, storytelling, laughs, and real insight into one of the league’s most versatile trench players.

Love the show BUT

Sad TV watcher

Where’s Aditi?? As a NFL fan, I really appreciate the info. I especially enjoyed Aditi. I’m a 49er fan, so no shade to the new host but an explanation would have been nice!!
Great content but FAR too many ads!!

I listen to a lot of podcasts and just floored by how many ads are in this podcast. And the fact that an ad can start in the middle of a host completing a sentence is ridiculous! Who’s editing these shows?? I listen to podcasts hosted by lesser known entities and they may have 1-2 ads at the beginning and maybe another in the middle of the show. Other popular podcasts hosted by superstars are the same. Why is the NFL so hard up for ad revenue that there are more ads in this show than actual content? Unbelievable. It’s a shame because the content is great but I can’t deal with the tons of ads 😫
What happened?

This used to be a good podcast. As the name said, it would explain aspects of the NFL (like the evolution of the goalpost or evolution of team names). Now it's a completely different podcast, just talking about that weels NFL news (like dozens of other podcasts that do the same thing)
Far too many ads

PTMBL

It’s not a bad podcast but, much like the watching an NFL game on TV, the sheer excess of ads makes the experience far poorer and ultimately not worth it.

We go behind the scenes to explain exactly how, why and when the NFL’s biggest events, rules and unique concepts came to be.
