Podcast appearances and mentions of bill carroll

1. AFC West-How well do you think Keyron Crawford fills that gaping hole opposite Mad Maxx starting on Day 1?-How bullish are you on Trey Zuhn III winning one of those Week 1 starting OL spots?-With the additions of Mansoor Delane, Peter Woods and R. Mason Thomas, do the Chiefs have the right pieces in place to make those game-sealing defensive plays they just couldn't make last season?-Do you see Emmett Johnson, at minimum, getting a similar workload this season as Zach Charbonnet did behind Kenneth Walker III last year in Seattle? -When you studied Jake Slaughter on tape, did you see someone who could kick outside from center to guard?-Do you agree with Dane Brugler's assessment on Tyler Onyedim, and do you see him carving out a fairly sizable role (say 20-25% of the snaps) in Denver's DL rotation this year?-How much higher does Jonah Coleman raise the floor of the Broncos running game in the event of another JK Dobbins injury?-Which of Kage Casey or Justin Joly do you think has a better chance to become a starter in 2027? 2. AFC East-Do you think the Jets made the right choice in going with David Bailey over Arvell Reese at 2 overall?-Just how good is this Jets offense set up right now for a potential rookie QB in 2027?-Is starting Kadyn Proctor out at guard the right move?-Just how good of a starting foundation on defense do the Dolphins have in Chris Johnson, Jacob Rodriguez, and Kyle Louis?-Do you think there's a decent chance the Bills eventually get the version of T.J. Parker we saw in 2024?-Which of Skyler Bell, Kaleb Elarms-Orr, Jalon Kilgore or Zane Durant are you most confident will end up becoming a long-term piece in Buffalo?-What's the better eventual move with Caleb Lomu: Have him replace Morgan Moses at RT in 2027, or have him replace Will Campbell at LT in 2027 and move Campbell either to RT or inside to guard?-Do you think Gabe Jacas is a legit deep sleeper for 2026 NFL DROY honors? 3. AFC South-Do you think Carnell Tate can become an effective WR1 for Cam Ward and the Titans?-Would it be a failure if this isn't a top-10 defense by 2027?-Do you think CJ Allen makes for a seamless transition from Zaire Franklin at that ILB spot for Indy?-Just how big of a steal do you think the Colts got with Deion Burks at 254 overall?-Do you see Keylan Rutledge starting games at center for the Texans this season?-Just how much more dangerous does Kayden McDonald make that Texans defensive line?-In your view, why wasn't Nate Boerkircher the best blocking TE in this draft?-Why do you think Emmanuel Pregnon fell as far as he did, and do you think he has a shot at beating out Ezra Cleveland or Patrick Mekari for one of the Jaguars starting guard spots this season?4. AFC North-Why do you think the Browns went with Spencer Fano over Francis Mauigoa, and is this a choice you think they'll eventually regret?-Just how well do you think K.C. Concepcion and Denzel Boston complement each other?-With the additions of Dexter Lawrence and Cashius Howell, are the Bengals officially out of excuses when it comes to fielding at least an above average pass rush this season?-Do you think both Connor Lew and Brian Parker II are starters for the Bengals in 2027? -Would you be surprised if Vega Ioane receives All-Pro honors during his rookie season?-How legit is the Za'Darius Smith comp for Zion Young?-Is Germie Bernard more than just a consolation prize for the Steelers?-Overall, did the Steelers do a good job in this class of thinking long-term as opposed to just plugging in holes in the now?

1. Do you think John Harbaugh is now the man in charge of the Giants player personnel decisions (as opposed to GM Joe Schoen) and if so, do you anticipate a Ravens-esque draft approach from the G-Men? 2. Do you think the Commanders roster is in a good enough position for them to take Jeremiyah Love at 7 overall? Or would they be wise to prioritize a position of value instead? 3. Which defensive prospects that are likely to be available (and obviously be good value) for the Cowboys at 12 and/or 20 would you consider ideal scheme fits for Christian Parker's defense? 4. Given the Eagles offensive line's decline plus rumors that Jalen Carter may be on the trade block, does it feel inevitable that Howie Roseman returns to his usual “trenches first” draft approach this year? 5. Giants three-round mock draft (no trades)6. Commanders three-round mock draft (no trades)7. Cowboys three-round mock draft (no trades)8. Eagles three-round mock draft (no trades)

1. When it comes to building an offense around a young QB, Daniel Jeremiah constantly stresses the three P's: play-caller, playmakers, and protection. Based on the way the roster currently looks, which of the two P's do you think is more urgent for the Raiders to address at the top of round 2: protection or playmakers? 2. What would constitute an ideal, yet realistic Day 1 haul for the Chiefs? 3. Unless someone like Vega Ioane or a top-shelf EDGE prospect falls to 22, do you think the Chargers will try their darnedest to trade back and add more picks?4. Our good friend Bill Carroll says the best way for a team to approach the draft is to use their picks with an eye on the next 3 or so years as opposed to merely plugging holes in the now. Can you see the Broncos following Bill's advice by using 2 of their 3 picks in the top 111 to address future holes at OL & DB as opposed to their current holes at RB/TE/LB? 5. Raiders three-round mock draft (no trades)6. Chiefs three-round mock draft (no trades)7. Chargers three-round mock draft (no trades)8. Broncos four-round mock draft (no trades)

1. Should the Browns first goal of this 2026 draft be trading back from 6? 2. Which of Caleb Downs or Mansoor Delane would give the Bengals D the best chance possible to be a league-average unit in 2026?3. If he falls to 14, do you think Rueben Bain, Jr. will be a Raven?4. What MUST the Steelers do in this draft in order to convince an increasingly frustrated fanbase that they are not still treading water as they enter the post-Mike Tomlin era?5. Browns three-round mock draft (no trades)6. Bengals three-round mock draft (no trades)7. Ravens three-round mock draft (no trades)8. Steelers three-round mock draft (no trades)

1. Many (if not most) are very down on this year's RB class. Mel Kiper, Jr. says he believes there are only 3 or 4 RB's maximum that are worth a top-100 pick. That said, others, including friend of the program Bill Carroll, say that this RB crop isn't as bad as many think. What are your overall thoughts on the 2026 RB class? 2. Since 2017, five RB's have been selected in the top-10: Leonard Fournette, Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, Bijan Robinson, and Ashton Jeanty. Jeremiyah Love will obviously become the sixth this year. In what order would you rank those six RB's as prospects, and why?3. Why do you have Mike Washington, Jr. as RB2 in this draft as opposed to Jadarian Price? 4. What makes Jonah Coleman worth a Day 2 pick? 5. Based on what you saw on film, what makes Michael Trigg the TE1 in this draft over Kenyon Sadiq? If it weren't for his maturity issues, do you think more NFL teams would have Trigg higher than Sadiq on their boards? 6. Do you think Sam Roush's historically short arms for the TE position automatically disqualify him from playing in-line at the NFL level?7. Would you be surprised if Oscar Delp ends up being selected in the top-100, if not the top-75? 8. Buy or Sell-Emmett Johnson (late round 3/early round 4)-Le'Veon Moss (late round 3/early round 4)-Nick Singleton (early-to-mid round 4)-Roman Hemby (early-to-mid round 4)-Demond Claiborne (mid-to-late round 4)-Kaytron Allen (late round 4/early round 5)-Seth McGowan (early-to-mid round 5)-Rahsul Faison (rounds 5-6)-Noah Whittington (rounds 6-7)-Eli Stowers (early-to-mid round 2)-Max Klare (late round 2/early round 3)-Jack Endries (late round 3/early round 4)-Joe Royer (late round 3/early round 4) -Justin Joly (late round 3/early round 4)-Nate Boerkircher (early-to-mid round 4)-Tanner Koziol (mid-to-late round 4)-Eli Raridon (late round 4/early round 5)-Riley Nowakowski (rounds 5-6)

1. In November, Dane Brugler of The Athletic reported that while NFL scouts were in agreement about Fernando Mendoza's very high floor, they were split on his ceiling. Just how high do you think Mendoza's ceiling is?2. Ted Nguyen of The Athletic wrote that he views Ty Simpson as “more of a third-round pick who will get pushed up to the second round because of a weak overall class.” Do you share that view? 3. Despite all the red flags about Ty Simpson, there is a lot of buzz that suggests he will hear his name called on Day 1. NFL insider Benjamin Allbright, who we both know well, has been reporting that we should not be surprised if he goes as high as 13 overall to the Rams. Do you like Ty Simpson's potential fit in Sean McVay's offense? 4. When you factor the abdominal/core injury he played through in 2025 into the equation, do you think there just might be long-term starting potential in Garrett Nussmeier? 5. Did Dante Moore make the right decision to go back to school? What area of his game needs the most improvement in order for him to be worth a top-10 pick next year? 6. Did Arch Manning's performance during the second half of last season make you bullish on his chances to be the first QB off the board in 2027? Aside from Dante Moore, which other QB would you consider a legit threat to Manning for QB1 in next year's draft? 7. Buy or Sell-Drew Allar (mid-to-late round 4)-Cole Payton (mid-to-late round 4)-Carson Beck (late round 4/early round 5)-Taylen Green (late round 4/early round 5)-Cade Klubnik (round 5)-Sawyer Robertson (round 7)-Joey Aguilar (round 7)-Haynes King (round 7)

1. Are Francis Mauigoa and/or Spencer Fano NFL-caliber tackles? Which of them deserves to be the first OL off the board and why?2. If we take this first round "tackle tax" out of the picture, would you say Monroe Freeling is worth the risk for say the Browns at 6 despite his shortcomings (lack of starting experience, raw areas in his game, etc.)?3. How much optimism do you have (if any) that Kadyn Proctor will have a far more successful NFL career than D.J. Fluker had and that Evan Neal has had thus far?4. Why should we be confident in Caleb Lomu's pass protection skills coming out of that Utah offense? Do you think he needs a "redshirt" rookie campaign in the weight room?5. Do you think Max Iheanachor is capable of being a Week 1 starter for whatever team drafts him?6. There were some rumblings at the Combine that several NFL decision makers believe Penn State G Vega Ioane is one of the few blue chip prospects in this draft. Dane Brugler of The Athletic shares a similar sentiment as he believes Ioane has a legit argument for being the best overall OL in the 2026 class given his combination of strong tape, high-level traits, and high-level football character. Just how strong do you think that argument is for Vega Ioane?7. Buy or Sell-Blake Miller (late round 1)-Caleb Tiernan (late round 2)-Austin Barber (mid-to-late round 3)-Markel Bell (early round 4)-Chase Bisontis (late round 1/early round 2)-Emmanuel Pregnon (mid-to-late round 2)-Keylan Rutledge (mid-to-late round 3)-Gennings Dunker (mid-to-late round 3)-Jalen Farmer (mid-to-late round 3)-Billy Schrauth (late round 3/early round 4)-Kage Casey (late round 3/early round 4)-Jake Slaughter (mid-to-late round 3)-Connor Lew (mid-to-late round 3)-Trey Zuhn III (late round 3/early round 4)-Sam Hecht (late round 3/early round 4)-Logan Jones (late round 3/early round 4)-Brian Parker II (late round 3/early round 4)-Parker Brailsford (round 4)-Jager Burton (round 5-6)

1. Given the increasingly high demand for do-it-all safeties, is Caleb Downs worth a top-10 pick? 2. Why is Mansoor Delane your top-ranked corner, and do you have any worries about his lack of length and athleticism at the NFL level?3. Should he underwhelm or be unable to work out at his Pro Day, how far can you see Jermod McCoy falling? Do you think some teams will have McCoy's fellow Tennessee CB Colton Hood ahead of him on their boards?4. Would it surprise you if Avieon Terrell ends up with the best career out of any corner in this class? 5. Is D'Angelo Ponds a slot-only corner at the NFL level, or do you think he can also function on the boundary given his leaping ability?6. Do you think the respective Combine performances of Dillon Thieneman and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren all but decided that the former will be the second safety off the board?7. Buy or Sell-Chris Johnson (late round 1/early round 2)-Brandon Cisse (late round 1/early round 2)-Davison Igbinosun (mid round 2)-Keith Abney II (late round 2)-Devin Moore (early-to-mid round 3)-Treydan Stukes (early-to-mid round 3)-Chandler Rivers (late round 3/early round 4)-Malik Muhammad (late round 3/early round 4)-Zakee Wheatley (mid round 2)-A.J. Haulcy (mid round 2)-Keionte Scott (mid round 2 to early round 3)-Genesis Smith (early-to-mid round 3)-Jalon Kilgore (mid-to-late round 3)-Bud Clark (late round 3/early round 4)

Jerry opens the show with commentary on the proposed 2026 Toronto budget. Carmi Levy weighs in on privacy concerns with AI health gadgets.

CFRA's Bill Carroll and Jerry talk about the Ottawa Senators asking for help from the government to build a new arena.

1. AFC South-How would you describe the overall ecosystem Cam Ward is entering?-Did Femi Oladejo's performance last year suggest to you that his best football is still very much ahead of him?-The Jaguars already have an absolute stud WR in Brian Thomas, Jr., and when you add Travis Hunter to the mix, you just might have the perfect receiving duo to unlock the greatness inside of Trevor Lawrence. What do you think?-Do you think Bhayshul Tuten brings anything to the table that Travis Etienne does not?-Given the Colts highly questionable situation at QB, do you anticipate Shane Steichen to use Tyler Warren in similarly creative ways as he was used at Penn State?-How much of an upgrade is J.T Tuimoloau over Kwity Paye?-In what ways (if any) does Jayden Higgins complement Nico Collins and in what ways (if any) does Jaylin Noel complement Christian Kirk?-Would it surprise you if Aireontae Ersery makes a strong case for the starting RT job in training camp? 2. AFC East-Given how effectively he played with an outright atrocious support cast last season, do you think the stars are aligned for Drake Maye to make a significant "sophomore jump" in 2025?-Can you see this Jets offensive line as one of the 10 best in the league, if not better, by 2026?-Would you be surprised if Mason Taylor ends up being the best tight end from this class?-Do you think the Jets were one of the best possible landing spots for Azareye'h Thomas?-Just how high is Kenneth Grant's ceiling in your view?-What in Maxwell Hairston's game, aside from his 4.28 speed, do you think sold Sean McDermott on his potential fit in Buffalo?-Which of those three players (T.J. Sanders, Landon Jackson, or Deone Walker) are you the most bullish on and why?3. AFC North-Would you say this draft haul is a pretty solid start for the Browns as they re-shape their roster for the post-Deshaun Watson era?-Would you anticipate one of Kenny Pickett or Joe Flacco getting traded before Week 1 and both Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel starting their fair share of games this season?-Did you see Shemar Stewart as someone likely to be remembered as a "workout warrior" a la Mike Mamula, someone likely to evolve into one of the NFL's most feared QB disruptors, or somewhere in between? -Do you think Derrick Harmon is the ideal candidate to succeed Cam Heyward as the linchpin of that Steelers D-Line?-Would it surprise you if Kaleb Johnson eventually becomes the focal point of the Steelers offense this season regardless of who starts at QB? -How better positioned (at least on paper) are the Ravens to win that third Lombardi Trophy due to Malaki Starks and Mike Green?4. AFC West-Would it be a massive disappointment if the Raiders don't have a top-10, if not top-5 scoring offense this season?-Can you see one of Caleb Rogers or Charles Grant (or both) emerging as starters for the Raiders OL in 2026?-Why were the Broncos right to take Jahdae Barron and just how big of an upgrade does he bring to that Denver secondary?-Can you see R.J. Harvey getting the lion's share of the touches in the Broncos backfield this season? -Is it a reasonable expectation for Pat Bryant to evolve into a reliable safety valve for Bo Nix in third-down and Red Zone situations?-Do you anticipate both Omarion Hampton and Tre Harris to emerge as starters early this season, and if they make an instant impact, do the Chargers have enough firepower on both sides of the ball to dethrone the Chiefs for the AFC West crown?-If you're the Chiefs, are you willing to put Josh Simmons on PUP to start the season and subsequently insert him into that starting LT position around late October/early November?-Which of those three (Omarr Norman-Lott, Ashton Gillotte, or Nohl Williams) do you see making the biggest contribution to Steve Spagnuolo's defense in 2025?-If you're choosing between Jalen Royals and Brashard Smith in the later rounds of a dynasty league draft, who would you take and why?

Lori Piestewa was the first woman killed in the Iraq war. She was a Native American and a single mom with two children. She died in an Iraqi ambush, and her good friend Jessica Lynch was wounded, captured and rescued. You might remember that. She was determined to help fulfill Lori Piestewa's dream - to have a house for her parents and her children. Jessica Lynch contacted the TV program, "Extreme Makeover," to see if they could make it happen. Their popular program showed them doing amazing makeovers of people's homes in a very short time, re-creating them into houses that were far beyond anything the owner's ever dreamed. They did it again for a war hero's family, moving them from their deteriorating trailer home into a wonderful new home. Given the good TV ratings of the show, apparently a lot of people loved to watch those amazing transformations. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Miraculously Changed." Bill Carroll was a hopeless alcoholic - since someone got him hooked at the age of ten. He moved from lost job to lost job, from jail to jail, from one desperate measure after another to meet his need for alcohol. One day a fellow prisoner recommended a remedy for the shakes that Bill had developed - cocaine. Bill Carroll actually ended up digging the gold fillings out of his teeth to pay for that cocaine. Ultimately, he decided this life wasn't even worth living anymore. He was headed to Lake Michigan in Chicago to end his life. But as he walked by a rescue mission, he heard a song about Jesus that his mother had sung to him. He wandered into the meeting and he heard the liberating news about how Jesus Christ can forgive your sin and change a life. He went into that mission hopelessly addicted. He came out with an extreme makeover from the inside out. From that day, he never again had the slightest desire to touch the alcohol or the drugs that had ruled most of his life. And oh, how grateful I am because Bill Carroll was my wife's grandfather, who was here for me to love because of the makeover miracle by Jesus Christ. For 2,000 years, the Carpenter of Nazareth has been transforming lives. Not reforming - transforming. In the words of 2 Corinthians 5:17, our word for today from the Word of God, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" It's a spiritual makeover from the inside out that only one man can accomplish - Jesus Christ, the man who died to cancel your sin and who came back from the dead with the power to give you a new life. It's not something a religion can do - any religion. Because religion tries to make us over from the outside in as we comply with its rules. What Jesus offers is a personal relationship with Him where He comes into your soul with life-changing power. Without Him, I'd be the selfish only child who cares only about me. But He's changing me. He's given me the great joy of living for others instead of myself. He turns greedy people into generous people. He tames a temper that has inflicted so much hurt. He breaks the power of those dark things that have controlled you. But you have to want Him in your life...driving your life...changing your life. While you've probably known about Jesus for a long time, maybe you've never given yourself to this man who gave His life for you. The good news is that you don't have to spend one more day without Him, without this life-transforming miracle. It can be today. Tell Him, "Jesus, I believe Your death was for my sin. I want that new beginning from You, I'm Yours." Listen, go to our website today and there you'll find the information to be sure you belong to Him. It's ANewStory.com. There's power in that cross of Jesus to transform you into the person you want to be, that you need to be, that the people you love need for you to be. He's been doing extreme makeovers for a long time. He wants to do it for you. Actually, He died to do it for you. {module Open a chat window - needhim}

1. If you're Browns GM Andrew Berry, would you be willing to trade back into the first round to as high as 19 or 20 and take Shedeur Sanders? Or would you prefer to roll the dice on a Day 2 project QB and wait to address the position in the first round next year? 2. Where do you think the evaluations of [Bengals Director of Player Personnel] Duke Tobin and his team have gone wrong these past three years, and what changes must the Bengals make when it comes to scouting talent on the defensive side of the ball? 3. Do you think Steelers GM Omar Khan should make it a high priority to trade back from 21 so they can recoup some of the value lost in the D.K. Metcalf trade?4. Who are some prime candidates in this draft that can make the strengths of this Ravens roster even more dangerous? 5. Browns three-round mock6. Bengals three-round mock 7. Steelers three-round mock8. Ravens three-round mock

1. Do you believe there were enough examples on Cam Ward's college tape that prove he's capable of making the on-schedule plays he'll need to make in order become a more consistent, steady player?2. Do you think there's a higher ceiling with Shedeur Sanders and if so, why?3. Do you think the hype on Jaxson Dart is at least somewhat warranted, and if not, can you play Devil's Advocate as to why an NFL team would be willing to invest a mid-to-late first-round pick on him? 4. Do you see similarities between Jalen Milroe and Jalen Hurts in terms of play-style, character and work ethic, and can you see Milroe evolving into a similar player at the NFL level in the right situation? Also, some NFL evaluators reportedly believe that if Milroe fails at QB, he can be tried out at RB. Do you think he's capable of being at least a very solid RB at the NFL level?5. Fans of NFL teams that are unlikely to head into the 2026 season with a surefire long-term answer at QB will immediately be looking toward the college QB's who become draft eligible next year. Thus, Bill, I'm going to ask you to give us your way-too-early assessment on the 2026 QB class. Who are some names to keep an eye on come late August and do you think it'll be a much better group of signal-callers compared to this year?6. Buy Or Sell (If you believe they can become a top 10-15 backup QB, count it as a 'buy')-Tyler Shough, Quinn Ewers, Will Howard, Riley Leonard, Dillon Gabriel, Kyle McCord7. Ideal (Realistic) Landing Spots For...-Cam Ward: Titans-Shedeur Sanders: Raiders-Jaxson Dart: Seahawks-Jalen Milroe: Broncos-Tyler Shough: Chargers-Quinn Ewers: Commanders or Falcons

1. Do you think Will Campbell's best role at the NFL level is at tackle or at guard?2. What are your biggest concerns about Armand Membou's game at the moment and would you be surprised if he eventually ends up as the best OL from this class?3. Do you think Kelvin Banks, Jr. will mostly benefit a team as a run blocker or as a pass protector during his rookie season?4. If you're a team picking in the top-20 with a huge need at left tackle and you deem that medical information to be accurate, is Josh Simmons worth taking there?5. Do you think Donovan Jackson will be better at guard or tackle in the NFL? 6. Is Tyler Booker's extreme lack of athleticism enough to scare you away from him, or is he still a prospect with an extremely high floor who's worthy of a top-40 selection, if not higher?7. As Dane Brugler noted in November, many around the league (if not most) would say Grey Zabel's best possible fit is at center. What makes Grey Zabel well-equipped to be the proverbial QB of an NFL offensive line?8. Buy Or Sell-Josh Conerly, Jr., Aireontae Ersery, Ozzy Trapilo, Charles Grant, Cameron Williams, Emery Jones, Jr., Logan Brown, Jonah Savaiinaea, Wyatt Milum, Marcus Mbow, Tate Ratledge, Miles Frazier, Jackson Slater, Willie Lampkin, Jared Wilson

1. Do you believe there's still some untapped upside with Ashton Jeanty as a receiving weapon out of the backfield?2. Do you think Omarion Hampton is a special talent worthy of a top-20 selection?3. If you were the GM of a team that needed ANY kind of RB, and you were forced to choose between Treveyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, who would be your pick and why? 4. Do you believe Kaleb Johnson has the requisite fundamentals of playing RB (most notably vision and footwork) to succeed at the NFL level despite his lack of explosiveness?5. Do you think Dylan Sampson has the goods to play on all three downs at the NFL level?6. Do you think Cam Skattebo deserves to be selected in Rounds 2-3, and if he doesn't hear his name called on Day 2, would you expect him to outplay his draft position?7. Buy Or Sell-Bhayshul Tuten, Damien Martinez, Jordan James, Ollie Gordon II, Devin Neal, R.J. Harvey, D.J. Giddens, Trevor Etienne, Jarquez Hunter, Jaydon Blue, Brashard Smith, LeQuint Allen, Kalel Mullings, Donovan Edwards, Marcus Yarns

1. Specifically when it comes to playing corner, what traits does Travis Hunter have that make you think he could be an all-time great at that position?2. Do you still think Will Johnson is capable of playing at the level he did in 2023 and second, should he either not run the 40 or post an underwhelming time, just how far can you see him falling?3. Do you see Jahdae Barron making a similar impact for an NFL defense as Brian Branch has in Detroit?4. Health permitting, would you be surprised if Shavon Revel, Jr. ends up being the most successful corner in this class outside of Travis Hunter?5. Do you think Maxwell Hairston will end up being a top-50 pick, or will concerns over his size and character cause him to fall?6. In the days following the Combine, two notable industry mock drafts by Jordan Reid of ESPN and Dane Brugler of The Athletic pegged Nick Emmanwori as both the first safety off the board and a top-20 pick. Would it surprise you if that came to pass?7. If Malaki Starks falls to the tail-end of the first round or even further, just how much of a steal would a team be getting?8. Buy Or Sell-Azareye'h Thomas, Benjamin Morrison, Trey Amos, Quincy Riley, Darien Porter, Jacob Parrish, Zy Alexander, Upton Stout, Xavier Watts, Billy Bowman Jr., Kevin Winston Jr., Lathan Ransom, Andrew Mukuba, Jonas Sanker

Bill Carroll and Robin Whitney of the Port Authority discuss the passage of Issue 28 which is a renewal of the levy supporting the work of the Toledo/Lucas County Port Authority. 

Joan Esposito talks to Bill Carroll, president of Teamsters Joint Council 39, which covers almost the entire state of Wisconsin and has about 15,000 members. The council unanimously endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president on September 18th, hours after the union's national leadership announced that it would not be endorsing a candidate in the 2024 presidential election. Carroll, who introduced Harris at a September 20th rally in Madison, said he was disappointed and puzzled that the Teamsters union did not endorse Harris nationally but that Joint Council 39 and Teamsters Local 344 were prepared for that outcome.    Catch "Joan Esposito: Live, Local and Progressive" weekdays from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Central on WCPT (heartlandsignal.com/wcpt820).

1. NFC North -Have you ever seen a better situation for a #1 overall pick to walk into? What can Bears fans realistically expect from Caleb Williams in his rookie season? -Do you think Kiran Amegadjie makes more sense as a long-term replacement for Braxton Jones at LT, or as a long-term replacement for Teven Jenkins at guard? -How good of a chance do you think Austin Booker has to develop into Montez Sweat's long-term bookend for the Bears? -What makes J.J. McCarthy and Kevin O'Connell a hand-in-glove fit schematically speaking? -What makes Dallas Turner potentially worth this massive price (six total picks) for the Vikings? -Do you anticipate Jordan Morgan being the Packers starting left tackle come Week 1 or do you see him starting his NFL career inside? -If one of Edgerrin Cooper or Javon Bullard (or both) makes a solid contribution this season, can we be very confident that this Packers defense finally plays up to their potential after two underwhelming years? -Would it be a massive disappointment if this 2024 Lions defense isn't the best D Dan Campbell has had in his time in Detroit thus far? -Would you be surprised to see either Christian Mahogany or Mekhi Wingo (or both) as a full-time starter in 2025? 2. NFC East -Why do you think the Commanders decided to go with Jayden Daniels over Drake Maye? -Even if it doesn't show up on the stat sheet, should we expect a pretty sizable impact from Ben Sinnott this season? -Would you bet on both Tyrone Tracy, Jr. and Theo Johnson becoming foundational pieces for this Giants offense along with Malik Nabers? -If Tyler Nubin and/or Andru Phillips makes a solid impact this year, are the Giants likely a top-12 defense or better? -In 2023, the Eagles surrendered 35 TD passes and only intercepted 9. With Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean now in the fold, how much should we expect those numbers to improve in Philly's favor this season? -What makes Jalyx Hunt such an intriguing project for Vic Fangio to work with? -Do you anticipate Cooper Beebe starting at the pivot for Dallas in 2024? -How optimistic should the Cowboys be about Marshawn Kneeland becoming a long-term defensive cornerstone like Demarcus Lawrence has been? 3. NFC South -Was Xavier Legette's breakout campaign last year a fluke or was it a sign of things to come? -Do you think Jonathon Brooks is likely to be the centerpiece of the Panthers offense in Year 1 of the Dave Canales era? -If Kirk Cousins shows even the slightest signs of decline between now and 2026, should the Falcons hand the reins over to Michael Penix, Jr. two years from now? -We all know Raheem Morris can maximize defensive talent, thus are you bullish on two of these three picks (Ruke Orhorhoro, Bralen Trice, Brandon Dorlus) being hits? -Are you at least somewhat puzzled by Taliese Fuaga's schematic fit with the Saints? -If the 2024 season goes south for the Saints, should they be willing to start Spencer Rattler for say 3-5 games? -What does Graham Barton offer the Bucs from Day 1 and how much improvement should we expect from their running game this season? -Do you think Chris Braswell has what it takes to become a full-time starter for the Bucs? 4. NFC West -How does Darius Robinson improve this Cardinals defensive front from Day 1 and what is the best way to utilize him? -What made Trey Benson stand out from all the other running backs in this class and do you believe he's fully capable of shouldering a heavier workload at the NFL level? -Is it fair to expect a DROY level performance from Byron Murphy this year? -Can you see Blake Corum getting 35-40% of the carries for the Rams this year? -What makes Ricky Pearsall the ideal WR for a Kyle Shanahan offense? -Would you be surprised to see both Renardo Green and Malik Mustapha end up as starters for the 49ers by 2025, if not sooner?

Today's guest is a sales leader with an incredible track record with high-growth SaaS companies including Splunk, Databricks, Datadog, and many more. Doug May is the Senior Vice President of Productivity at Harness. Doug joins Host Matt Benelli to share why the best sellers quarterback their team to win deals, how to plan your career at every stage, and where to look for your personal and professional development.Takeaways:Solo achievement in sales is a fallacy. By leveraging team capabilities and resources for overarching victories, great sellers close larger deals at a more rapid pace than if they tried to do everything themselves.​​Strive to create an environment where asking for help and collaboration is normal and rewarded, dismantling the myth that individual effort alone leads to extra rewards.Coachability is the most pivotal trait to look for when hiring sales professionals. Seek out and nurture this quality. Look for examples of coachability from candidates that transcend industries and can significantly boost performance.Continuous learning and personal growth are cornerstones for sustaining success in the evolving tech landscape. Sales leaders should encourage and advocate for their team's development. Sellers should also look for ways to improve themselves independently.Timely, constructive feedback is a growth catalyst. Effective feedback, rooted in genuine care and specific examples, is potent in accelerating growth and improvement.Foster a culture of recognition. Recognizing and appreciating the entire team's contribution to success is a crucial leadership behavior to inspire loyalty and foster an environment of mutual respect and achievement.Encouraging self-assessment and openness to feedback among team members can cultivate a culture of continuous improvement and adaptability.Quote of the Show:“You don't get paid extra to do it all by yourself” - Doug MayLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dougmay/ Website: https://www.harness.io/ Shoutouts: Gary Harris: https://www.linkedin.com/in/databricksgary/ Tom Pisello: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tompisello/ Value Coffee Talk: https://geniusdrive.com/podcasts/ Sean Walters: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-walters-6825154/ Carlos Delatorre: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cadelatorre/ Chris Reisig: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisreisig/ Bart Fanelli: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bartfanelli/ Bill Carroll: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ceocoachbillc/ Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Yb1wPzUxyrfR0Dx35ym1A Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-build-a-coaching-culture/id1699901434 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NvYWNoMnNjYWxlLWhvdy1tb2Rlcm4tbGVhZGVycy1idWlsZC1hLWNvYWNoaW5nLWN1bHR1cmU Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/fd188af6-7c17-4b2e-a0b2-196ecd6fdf77 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-5419703 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Coach2Scale CoachEm™ is the first Coaching Execution Platform that integrates deep learning technology to proactively analyze patterns, highlight the "why" behind the data with root causes, and identify the actions that will ultimately improve business results going forward.  These practical coaching recommendations for managers will help their teams drive more deals, bigger deals, faster deals and loyal customers.

1. If you're the Bengals, do you trade Tee Higgins during the draft, or do you think you can get a better return by trading him right before the mid-July franchise tag deadline? 2. Last year, Steelers GM Omar Khan traded up three spots to select a raw, but super promising athletic OT in Broderick Jones. This year, can you anticipate Pittsburgh making an even bigger jump up the board (say seven or eight spots) to select a potential bookend tackle to Jones? 3. If there's a certain position other than QB that may not be a need for the Browns now but will in 2025, what is it and which prospects at that particular position would be ideal Day 2 investments for them? 4. Which prospects at positions other than OT, G, and EDGE can you see being selected by the Ravens at 30 overall? 5. Bengals Three-Round Mock (No Trades) 6. Steelers Three-Round Mock (No Trades) 7. Browns Three-Round Mock (No Trades) 8. Ravens Three-Round Mock (No Trades)

1. For the second consecutive year, we seem to be looking at a very underwhelming crop of linebackers. What is your overall impression of this group and are there still solid options for LB-needy teams to consider? 2. When you factor in both the athletic promise and the troublesome medical history of Payton Wilson, how high can you see him getting drafted? 3. Since Junior Colson both played in and led a pretty comprehensive, pro-style defense in college, can you see him wearing the green dot for an NFL defense in his rookie season? 4. If any LB in this class were a strong candidate to go on Day 1, why would it be Edgerrin Cooper? 5. Do you think Jeremiah Trotter, Jr. has the highest floor out of any LB in this class outside of Junior Colson? 6. Buy or Sell -Cedric Gray -Steele Chambers -Tommy Eichenberg -Nathaniel "Bookie" Watson -Marist Liufau -Jordan Magee -Trevin Wallace -Edefuan Ulofoshio -Curtis Jacobs -Easton Gibbs

1. If Terrion Arnold has a case to be the first defensive player off the board on April 25, what is it? 2. Would you be surprised if Quinyon Mitchell ends up being the best corner in this class? 3. Clemson's Nate Wiggins is arguably the most "traits-y" corner in this draft class, but he had a rather disappointing Combine, only weighing in at 173 pounds (2nd percentile) and measuring in at an arm length of 30 1/2" (18th percentile). Do those measurements alone kick him out of the first round altogether? 4. Do you think Cooper DeJean would be best served by switching to safety in the NFL? Should whatever team that drafts Cooper DeJean strongly consider using him as a punt and/or kickoff return specialist early in his career? 5. If Kool-Aid McKinstry runs a respectable time at the Alabama Pro Day this week, do you think he locks himself into the tail-end of the first round at least? 6. What do you like about Mike Sainristil's game and is he worth an investment at some point on Day 2? 7. What is Tyler Nubin's case as the best safety in this year's draft? 8.

Recycling is a process that is much more complex than most people think. While our society is taking steps towards recycling more, it is important to keep refining our approach to it so that we can see sustainable results as we move forward.  Dr. Bill Carroll is an Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at Indiana, a Certified Professional Retirement Coach, and both Past President and Past Chair of the Board of the American Chemical Society. With 37 years of experience in the chemical industry, he uses his knowledge to research the science behind recycling and foster environmental advocacy.  Join us as Dr. Carroll discusses: The process of recycling, and what it would take to further develop it. What “downcycling” is, and which products it's applied to. What to do with materials that are not easily recyclable.  How can we maximize the amount of recycling we do as a society?

Some years ago I was playing at a New Year's Eve party - you know - a gig. The late Bill Carroll was the band leader that evening and he called for the song Blue Skies. I did not know the tune but he had a fake book, which is basically the chord progressions and the melody. That melody really resonated with me that evening and it lead to the 2nd album project that my flugelhorn friend Lynn Nash and I recorded - the first being a Christmas project. Everyone once in a while I pull that recording out and listen to what we did. Yesterday, I did a remix of the recording - fixing a few things and changing some of the instrumentation I used. If you get any kind of correspondence from me, you will typically see me sign it “Blue Skies” and then my name. We've all had our ups and downs in life. And sometimes it's hard to see Blue Skies when we feel the storms of life all around us. But just above those clouds, are indeed blue skies. So I try to close every correspondence with that little song title. As my friend Mike Lowry reminded me this morning, I try to remember that my cup over-runs with incredible blessings. Here's our version of the Irvin Berlin song, Blue Skies. And by the way, I have a lot of our recordings as well some other projects I have done on my website - linwoodcampbell.com

1. NFC North -Bears (Was Darnell Wright worth it with the #10 overall pick? Why Bill is more bullish on Gervon Dexter, Sr. than he is on Zaach Pickens. What is Roschon Johnson's likely role in the Bears offense? Why Bill believes the selection of Tyler Scott should NOT preclude the Bears from re-signing Darnell Mooney) -Lions (Why did the Lions ignore positional value in the first round? Why Sam LaPorta over Michael Mayer? What roles will Brian Branch play this season with similarly versatile DB C.J. Gardner-Johnson in the fold as well?) -Packers (Why Lukas Van Ness must be utilized very similarly as George Karlaftis. How do Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft complement one another?) -Vikings (Why is Jordan Addison a worthy successor to Adam Thielen?) 2. NFC South -Panthers (Why did Carolina take Bryce Young over C.J. Stroud? What does Jonathan Mingo bring to the Panthers offense right away?) -Falcons (What role does Tyler Allgeier play with Bijan Robinson now the lead RB in Atlanta? Why will Zach Harrison have a healthy role in the Falcons base defense this year?) -Saints (Bill on why overall expectations for Bryan Bresee and Isaiah Foskey must be tempered. What makes Kendre Miller a worthy long-term replacement for Alvin Kamara?) -Bucs (Why is Calijah Kancey in excellent position to thrive in Tampa? Bill on why he LOVES rookie pass rushers YaYa Diaby and Jose Ramirez) 3. NFC East -Commanders (Why is Emmanuel Forbes a better scheme fit for Washington than Christian Gonzalez? Why did the Commanders choose Jartavius Martin over his fellow versatile Illinois DB Sydney Brown?) -Giants (Why did the Giants select the higher ceiling Deonte Banks over the higher floor Joey Porter, Jr.? What are the best long-term expectations for Jalin Hyatt?) -Cowboys (Is Micah Parsons excitement about Mazi Smith warranted? How does Luke Schoonmaker help the Cowboys execute their new offensive system right away?) -Eagles (If the Eagles keep Hassan Reddick in the fold for another 2-4 years, how will Nolan Smith be utilized? Does Tyler Steen have a shot at the starting right guard spot this year? What makes Sydney Brown so special and what will his role be this season?) 4. NFC West -Cardinals (Why were Paris Johnson, Jr., Garrett Williams and Michael Wilson all very good pick to establish the new culture?) -Seahawks (Does the addition of Devon Witherspoon make this the best Seattle secondary since the Legion of Boom? Do the Seahawks have the most dangerous WR trio in the NFL outside Cincinnati with the addition of Jaxon Smith-Njigba? Why Bill believes Kenneth Walker III will still receive two-thirds of the carries despite the selection of Zach Charbonnet) -Rams (What should we expect from rookie edge rushers Byron Young, Nick Hampton and Ochaun Mathis this season? Can Stetson Bennett be a good "bridge QB" in addition to being a good backup?) -49ers (How will Ji'Ayir Brown complement Talanoa Hufanga?)

Bill Carroll with the Russell County Honor Guard stops by to talk about the road block the honor guard will have at the 127/80 intersection taking up donations for the local group.

Kevin has the best birthday ever; Mayor Tom announces that Ashanti and Ja Rule will perform at Hammond, Indiana's Festival of the Lakes on Wednesday, July 12; Tom and Kevin discuss a recent heated public hearing in Hammond regarding a train overpass project; Lake Station, IN Mayor Bill Carroll talks with Tom and Kevin about his re-election campaign, his opponent, priorities during a second term if elected, and more.

1. If either Anthony Richardson or Will Levis (or both) fall past the Raiders at 7, do you trade up to get them if you're Commanders GM Martin Mayhew and head coach Ron Rivera? 2. Generally speaking, would it be more ideal for the Giants to draft a WR in the first round (say Quentin Johnston) and a corner in round 2 (say Julius Brents) or the other way around with say Emmanuel Forbes and Marvin Mims? 3. Once the Cowboys season ended with another tough playoff loss to the 49ers, people immediately began mocking WR's to them at that 26th overall pick. But since then, they traded for Brandin Cooks and Mike McCarthy said in no uncertain terms at his Combine press conference that he wants to run the ball a lot more. Based on those two tea-leaves, do you think it's far more likely that the Cowboys choose to fill the guard position opposite Zach Martin at 26 with Steve Avila or O'Cyrus Torrence than take a wide receiver or tight end? 4. Do you think it's far more likely the Eagles double-dip up front with their two first round picks than they take Bijan Robinson? If you're Howie Roseman, and you love Jalen Carter, how far up the board would you be willing to move up to get him? 5. Commanders three-round mock 6. Giants three-round mock 7. Cowboys three-round mock 8. Eagles three-round mock

1. Do you think Elijah Moore is as good a talent or better than the WR's and TE's that would likely have been available for the Browns at 42? What are the Browns biggest remaining areas of need? 2. How do you think new Steelers GM Omar Khan will approach the draft differently (even in the most subtle of ways) than his predecessor Kevin Colbert? 3. How should Eric DeCosta and John Harbaugh use this draft to further mend fences with Lamar Jackson even further? 4. If you're the Bengals and had to choose between Darnell Washington and Brian Branch, who would be the pick at 28 and why? 5. Browns three-round mock 6. Steelers three-round mock 7. Ravens three-round mock 8. Bengals three-round mock

1. Your colleague and right-hand man at Team NBS Media (and a regular on this program as well) Jeff Barnes said that this LB group is one of the weakest positions in this year's draft. Do you agree? 2. When it comes to Trenton Simpson, what is THE absolute best role for him off the bat? 3. The dilemma when it comes to Drew Sanders for whoever selects him is to either make him a pass rusher most of the time, or to continue and develop his still raw off-ball LB chops and make him a Tremaine Edmunds kind of weapon for your defense. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com believes Drew Sanders can evolve into the latter while Doug Farrar of the USA Today Touchdown Wire believes Sanders will be best as a full-time pass rusher with a healthy amount of box snaps a la Connor Barwin. Do you agree with Zierlein or Farrar's assessment...and why? 4. Even if Jack Campbell's play never lives up to his athletic testing, does the team that selects him have every reason to believe he will be a high-floor, long-term starter for them? 5. Given the premium NFL teams place on linebackers that can cover ground in a hurry these days, would it surprise you if Daiyan Henley hears his name called in the late third round, if not sooner? 6. Buy Or Sell: DeMarvion Overshown, Henry To'o To'o, Yasir Abdullah, Ventrell Miller, Owen Pappoe, Dorian Williams, Noah Sewell, Ivan Pace, Jr., Jeremy Banks, SirVocea Dennis, Aubrey Miller, Jr., Mohamoud Diabate

1. Christian Gonzalez is almost universally expected to be the top corner off the board, likely within the top-10 picks. What makes Gonzalez such a special prospect? 2. Do you see Devon Witherspoon as worthy of a top-15 pick...or do his size and athleticism (or lack thereof) give you pause? 3. Do you think Joey Porter, Jr.'s best possible fit is with a team that plays a very heavy amount of press coverage...or can he thrive in most other schemes despite those aforementioned weak spots in his game? 4. One of the stars of the Combine at the CB position was Maryland's Deonte Banks. He ran a blazing 4.35 40, jumped a jaw-dropping 42" vertical and 11'4" broad. In your view, does his tape match those traits and thus qualify him for a top-25 selection, if not higher? 5. What else aside from speed will D.J. Turner bring to an NFL defense right away...and is he worth a top-50 pick in your view? 6. How concerned should teams be about Emmanuel Forbes' long-term durability in the NFL at his current weight? 7. Do you believe Clark Phillips III, even at that petite size, can be trusted to cover the "big slots" in today's NFL? 8. If Brian Branch falls to Day 2, how big of a steal will the team that selects him be getting? 9. Buy Or Sell: Kelee Ringo, Cam Smith, Julius Brents, Terell Smith, Tyrique Stevenson, Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson, Darius Rush, Jakorian Bennett, Antonio Johnson, Jordan Battle, J.L. Skinner, Ji'Ayir Brown, Sydney Brown

1. What makes Bijan Robinson arguably the best prospect at the running back position since Saquon Barkley? 2. Do you think being an RB2 in a rotation with a limited carry count is the best possible role for Jahmyr Gibbs at the NFL level...or can he be even more? 3. Do you think Devon Achane is worth a top-50 pick? 4. Would you be surprised if Zach Charbonnet is the third RB to go off the board, if not the second ahead of Jahmyr Gibbs? 5. Do you think Tyjae Spears has more than some think as a pass catcher in order to become the weapon at least I think he can become at the NFL level? 6. Is there a sleeper RB prospect in this class that you don't believe is getting the attention he deserves? If so, who is that prospect and why do you love him so much? 7. Buy Or Sell: Zach Evans, Eric Gray, Tank Bigsby, Mohamed Ibrahim, Kenny McIntosh, Roschon Johnson, Deuce Vaughn, Chris Rodriguez, Jr., Evan Hull, Kendre Miller, Cam Peoples 8. Team Fits -Bijan Robinson: Bills, Bengals -Jahmyr Gibbs: Saints, Steelers, Giants, Texans -Devon Achane: Chiefs, Jaguars, Bears, Commanders, Dolphins -Zach Charbonnet: Cowboys, Cardinals, Lions, Bucs -Chase Brown: Cowboys, Patriots, Titans -Tyjae Spears: Steelers, Bucs, Chargers, Saints, Broncos, Rams

January 31, 1988. Quarterback Doug Williams steps onto the field in San Diego, California for the biggest game of his life. He's moments away from leading Washington into Super Bowl XXII against the John Elway-led Denver Broncos.Today, Doug Williams becomes the first Black quarterback to start a Super Bowl. Can he win it, too? His breakthrough has paved the way for Super Bowl LVII, where two Black quarterbacks—Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes—will face off for the first time in championship history in 2023.We ask a roundtable of experts: why have Black quarterbacks been a rarity throughout the history of pro football? And in a conversation with Doug Williams himself, what does it mean to be a pioneer for so many Black quarterbacks to come?Special thanks to our guests Kenneth Shropshire, Professor Emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School; Bill Carroll, assistant director at the Family Legacy Foundation; Cyrus Mehri, civil rights attorney and co-founder of the Fritz Pollard Alliance; and Doug Williams, former NFL quarterback and longtime NFL personnel executive.

1. Giants -Explain why you had Kayvon Thibodeaux at the top EDGE on your board -Given Evan Neal's high floor/ceiling combination and the progress Thomas made last season, can you see the Giants having a top-five OT combo within the next 2-3 seasons? -Why do you think the Giants took Wan'Dale Robinson that high? -The Giants had two third-round picks at 67 and 81 overall. With those selections, they took North Carolina G Joshua Ezeudu and LSU CB CorDale Flott. Which one of those two is more likely, in your view, to become a long-term contributor for the Giants? 2. Commanders -Was there a sizable gap between Chris Olave and Jahan Dotson that warranted them staying put and taking the former, or was the trade down and subsequent selection of Dotson warranted? -Do you think Phidarian Mathis has the ability to make Payne expendable? -Can you see Brian Robinson, Jr. siphoning away short-yardage and goal line carries from Antonio Gibson this season? 3. Eagles -Outside of Baltimore, was there a better situation than Philly for Jordan Davis to end up in? -By adding A.J. Brown to an offensive skill group that includes DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert, do the Eagles now boast a top 5-10 receiving corps? -Do you think it's very possible Cam Jurgens has equally as good of a career as Tyler Linderbaum? -Do you think Nakobe Dean will prove doubters wrong and have a long, productive career? 4. Cowboys -Tyler Smith will likely start out at guard and eventually kick out to tackle to succeed another Smith in Tyron Smith. Do you think that's the best possible development plan for him? -What makes Sam Williams such an intriguing talent and how soon will the Cowboys feel his impact in that pass rush? -Would you be surprised if Jalen Tolbert surpasses Michael Gallup on the depth chart within the next three seasons? 5. Name a player (either drafted or UDFA) from each team we have not yet discussed that you think will have a successful NFL career -Giants: Micah McFadden -Commanders: Sam Howell -Eagles: Kyron Johnson, Grant Calcaterra -Cowboys: Matt Waletzko
