    Ty & Bob Pod: Aaron Rodgers, Matt LaFleur & "big games," Lions-Vikings to duel in an epic NFCN clash

    So, it all comes down to this in the NFC North: the Detroit Lions vs. the Minnesota Vikings with all of America watching. Ford Field will be ear-splitting. Homefield advantage is on the line. All season, we’ve been diving into the film on the “Ty & Bob Pod.” All season, the Packers, Lions and Vikings have exchanged body blows. Now, the tournament is closing in and you better know what you’re looking at in the mirror. Dan Campbell refused to heed Troy Aikman’s advice and played to win in Santa Clara. Detroit’s offense is humming along. The defense? That’s another story. Can Dan Campbell piece together a Super Bowl run? That No. 1 seed would certainly help. At U.S. Bank Stadium, Kevin O’Connell’s team punked Matt LaFleur’s Packers. The final score (27-25) was not indicative of the punishment. Big-game talk may be “bothersome” to LaFleur but it’s undeniably concerning that he hasn’t beaten the top teams. Green Bay wants to be a more physical outfit on offense, but it might be smart for LaFleur to unleash his $220 million dollar quarterback. This is a coach who tends to lose his cool on the sideline, too. We discuss how each of these teams are an extension of their coach. Green Bay went 0-4 against Detroit and Minnesota this season and McGinn’s numbers behind this record are startling. Is there time for the Packers to find themselves? Of course. There are a few answers out there on both sides of the ball. Audio is above. Video is below. And, icymi, here’s my conversation with Bruce Smith on “How the NFL Works.” Thanks, all.

    How the NFL Works, S1 Ep 9: The Art of War with Bruce Smith

    Bruce Smith is hurting. He’s feeling the effects of those 299 total games played, those 214.5 total sacks (playoffs included). Many nights, he’s in so much pain that he barely grabs a wink of sleep. So just imagine how all those quarterbacks feel. Those 76 different quarterbacks he sacked. The Buffalo Bills legend is truly one of the greatest football players to ever live. On this episode of “How the NFL Works” at Go Long, Smith explains exactly how he was able to dominate offenses. The Pro Football Hall of Famer was named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team in both the 80s and 90s. Nobody sacked the quarterback more than him — not Reggie White, not Lawrence Taylor. There’s a very good chance his regular-season record of 200 lasts for a long, long time. For perspective, Myles Garrett still has 98 sacks to go. And yet, Smith also knows his career could’ve crumbled if he didn’t look in the mirror and demand changes from himself. From brutal training sessions on a StairMaster to his diet to — above all — meticulous film study, Smith became a monstrous force vs. the pass and the run on the Bills team that reached four straight Super Bowls. And he did it while playing in a 3-4 defense. Indeed, there’s an art to the destruction. On this episode, Smith doesn’t hold back on a variety of topics. * His life turnaround, from 310 pounds and out of shape to 6.3 percent body fat. * His relationship with Bills fans. It has evolved. During the ‘91 season, he received racist letters and wanted out of Buffalo. One conversation with Marv Levy changed his mind. * Stories from the trenches. What did Joe Montana and Dan Marino have to say after Smith flattened them? * What kind of owner was Ralph Wilson? * What was the missing piece on his Super Bowl teams? * Josh Allen. Smith marvels at the team’s MVP-worthy quarterback today. He keeps in touch with Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane, too. * Yes, Smith believes he’s got the case to make as the greatest defensive player ever. Video and audio are available here.

  3. How the NFL Works, S1 E8: Quarterback Bliss with Matt Hasselbeck

    How the NFL Works, S1 E8: Quarterback Bliss with Matt Hasselbeck

    At the top, the quarterback position is being played at a ridiculously high level this 2024 season. Josh Allen has viewers on the edge of their seat. Lamar Jackson, too. Patrick Mahomes is gunning for a three-peat. Jordan Love’s ascent continues. Elsewhere, a handful of organizations continue to meander through the quarterback wilderness without a coherent map and without much hope for the future. Absolutely nothing matters more in the NFL than this position. So here at Go Long, we’re constantly trying to figure out how a team can reach such bliss. For this episode of “How the NFL Works,” I chat at length with three-time Pro Bowler and 2005 NFC Champion Matt Hasselbeck to get answers. He saw the position played at a high level as Brett Favre’s backup under Mike Holmgren and Andy Reid early in his career. Then, of course, he took over as the Seattle Seahawks starter for a decade. Hasselbeck threw for more than 36,000 yards with 212 touchdowns… and he probably should have a ring, too. (We previously chatted with Hasselbeck all about his own NFL life last season — here’s that pod.) This time, we connect some of his best stories as a player with the quarterbacks of today. On this episode… * Why Hasselbeck loves coaching high school football today. It’s more rewarding than yapping on ESPN. * The power of youth. Ignorance is bliss for these 2024 Packers, the youngest team in the NFL. He sees Love playing freely, a dangerous thing this time of year. * How has Josh Allen has balanced “Clark Kent” with “Superman?” Few understood the value of a quarterback playing free like Mike Holmgren, from Montana to Young to Favre. In the Bills quarterback, Hasselbeck sees someone who knows exactly when to take over a game. And it helps when the head coach allows that to happen. * Holmgren could be ruthless, of course. He recalls the times the coach ripped into both Favre and Reid. * Who’s the MVP of the league? Hasselbeck tells us to hold our horses. There’s a path for Baltimore’s Jackson. He loves the part of his game that nobody talks about. He’s athletic, yes. But Jackson is also making full-field reads. * What are the conversations like between KC’s Reid and Mahomes as the back-to-back champ nurses a high-ankle sprain? Hasselbeck knows Reid well and takes us right into what those 1-on-1 chats sound like. * You’ll love his analysis on the rookie quarterbacks, too. Hasselbeck is (very) high on New England’s Drake Maye. As for No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams? Not so much. He says Williams needs to look himself in the mirror and ask hard questions this offseason. Thank you for listening and sharing, everyone. The written Q&A transcript is here if that’s preferred: Go Long is your home for longform. Our goal — always — is to lift up the curtain on this sport.
