Great recommendation from Move The Sticks

I must thank DJ from Move the Sticks for recommending this podcast. It is a fascinating look at the evolution of modern offense and defense in the NFL. If you love Xs and Os or just enjoy thinking about matchups and how systems of play evolve, I think a coach of any sport would be fascinated by this series. I loved the insight on Vic Fangio too. Listen to how Mike McDaniel sees a play that San Diego State runs versus Air Force. He installs it in 2018 and now you see that play all over the NFL. All sorts of nuggets like that. Listen and then go rewatch the 2018 Rams vs Bears game and see how Vic Fangio rolled out the blueprint for how to stop McVay and the Rams. A fascinating listen. I want a basketball version of something like this. Well done!
Im sorry but…

Does Jourdan Rodrigue bother anyone else ? it’s like she’s a beat writer who just gets a lot of pop because her team is across the street from NFL Media.
Repetitive and Disconnected

Really bad editing. Just all over the place. Repeats audio clips, jumping from one audio to another of disconnected stories, if you don’t know what happened with these teams year to year, you won’t know what they are taking about. Just the worst editing job.
Must listen for any football fan
