Pushing the Pile: A CBS Sports NFL Podcast with Kyle Long & Mike Renner

My question is about TJ and JJ Watt. I know that at his peak, JJ is probably a top 2-3 dlineman of all time, but how close are we to acknowledging that TJ might end up with the better overall career. Tj has a dpoy, has won the sack title in 3 separate seasons, and tied Strahans record in less than 16 full games played. Since Big Bens elbow exploded in 2019, we only win when TJ literally gifts our offense the ball in enemy territory. TJ leads the league in forced fumbles by a mile since coming into the NFL and is only 24 away from the all time record which isn’t that far fetched when he gets 5-7 a season. Obviously JJ has 3 dpoy, but I would argue that TJ should have at least one more (he has finished in 2nd twice and 3rd another time), but I think JJ winning 3 has actually hurt him bc of voter fatigue. What do you guys say? When we look back who will the better Watt be?

When it’s working it’s a pretty interesting show. I came from listening to Mikes old shows and ever since Tailgate/2 for 1, I don’t think he’s been used the best. He did so well when there was a fast paced conversational person like Austin G. The issue is Kyle feels too much like a clogger of that. I don’t personally care that deeply about the deep player insights and there’s some kind of allegory or story to EVERYTHING. Isn’t my taste but maybe others love it. There have still only been a couple months of shows so hopefully if picks up. Missin that 2 for 1 chemistry though.

No offense to these hosts but this show is so dry and boring. Pic Six Podcast was so fun to listen to and as a loyal cbs podcast listener I’m really struggling to listen to this new show.

I listen to numerous football podcasts and pick six was the best one. Really disappointed it got replaced with this. The super friends provided much better content and energy!
