Need Time Stamps

Can you please add time stamps to your podcasts? Other shows that go long like you do it. I have stopped listening to your podcast because I only want to hear specific topics but it takes me forever to find them because you don’t put time stamps in the summary.

Increasingly convinced that Derrik is paid by Justin Herbert’s camp to do positive PR
Great Show!

Love the high level analysis! One of my few regular podcasts, and always fun. Don’t always agree with everything, but always makes me think.
Great pod

This is not just one of my favorite football pods — but one of my favorite pods on any topic. Mays is one of the truly great hosts and football personalities out there. Knowledgable, curious, and zero smugness (a rarity in this field these days). I always learn a lot listening to this show. Keep up the great work, guys.
Needs to add a NFL player/Coach

The Nerd on Nerd talk gets a little dizzying, I love the classic dichotomy of the the Analytics Guy bantering with the “On the Field” Guy. One can give uniques insights that only data and intense film watching would yield while the other can pull it down to earth and talk about the physicality and reality of what the game entails.
Analysis is not as smart as it thinks it is
Jan 29
I feel like this show wants to be the place where football hipsters come to analyze football in new insightful ways. It also aims to be a place for smart conversations about the game and well-considered, constructive arguments. Thing is, I don’t find your analysis all that insightful. Listened to the first 20 minutes of “What we can learn from the final 4 teams episode” and the first two were “Don’t turn the ball over” and “Run the ball to add consistency to your offense”. Really? That’s what you learned? Should we add “Score more points than your opponent”? Additionally, you show bias quite a bit, which is fine because people are biased by nature, but in the same episode you just include the Lions because you want to. Is there something to be learned by the Commies beating them? I’m not sure, but why bend the rule there? All in all, I try this show out every couple months wanting it to be better but I get disappointed.
