Hello! In this episode of Hammering Down, I discuss Mark Briggs' departure from Birmingham Legion FC. As Briggs leaves to go what is presumed to be FC Dallas, Legion are left in limbo once again. What is the plan? Why an assistant? What should Legion do next? We'll talk about it all on this episode of Hammering Down.
Hello! In this episode of Hammering Down, I sit down and discuss the situation at Protective Stadium. With Legion's move to Protective Stadium, there has been so much discourse around the stadium and I think it's finally time to fully discuss it. What are the other options the club has? What are the restrictions holding the club back? I then move on to the film study and why I think this Birmingham Legion FC squad has a real opportunity to be a Top 4 team in the Eastern Conference.
Hello! In this episode of Hammering Down, I discuss the latest match between the Legion and Republic. What did the Legion do that was so impressive to Briggs?

Hello! In this episode of Hammering Down, I sit down and break down the film from the match and then take fan questions. Is this season a bust? What is there to fight for? And is the 5-3-2 a keeper?

Hello! In this episode of Hammering Down, Kaylor Hodges sits down and discusses the latest news that Birmingham Legion FC would be moving on from first and only coach in team history, Tommy Soehn. How did we get here? Who would Legion even go after? I discuss it all in this episode of Hammering Down.
Hello! In this episode of Hammering Down, I sit down and discuss the Birmingham Legion's latest match versus Little Rock Rangers. Birmingham lost 1-0 to bow out of the oldest soccer tournament in the United States, but was it as bad as it seems? Considering Kaylor called this cupset over one week ago, maybe it is, or maybe it's just not shocking, but either way it needs to be discussed.
Fine, I'll finally open my mouth. In this episode of Hammering Down, I talk about the discontentment amongst fans and if it has validity. Does Tommy Soehn and Jay Heaps deserve to keep their jobs at Birmingham Legion FC? Can it all be attributed to Protective Stadium? Are we prepared for life after Year One?
