Braden Smith is a bad man and Lopez's concern with playing in London.

A first-round fit the room expected The Detroit Lions leaned into identity. On the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff Risdon welcomed draft analyst Chris Trepaso to dissect a class he graded very high. The focus opened on Blake Miller, the first-round pick who looks like a clean right tackle for Detroit's scheme. The discussion framed it simply. Power. Size. Length. Run-game movement. Anchor against bullrush. Miller checked every box for a line that already mauls people. Trepaso said he would have mock-drafted Miller to Detroit over and over. He called the fit one of the best in the first round. If Penei Sewell shifts to the left side, Miller slides in at right tackle with no friction. The NFL comparison offered was Braden Smith. Reliable. Durable. Darn good. That kind of profile settles an offensive line and keeps the run game on schedule. The measurables backed the film. Over 34-inch arms. Around 6-foot-5 and near 320 pounds. A 32-inch vertical. A 40-yard dash around five seconds. Those traits do not guarantee success, but paired with sturdy tape they signal a safe, smart NFL selection. The hosts and guest aligned on this. The Detroit Lions prioritized continuity and immediate utility up front. Miller fits. Derek Moore targets the opposite edge Day two brought Derek Moore from Michigan. Familiar player. Logical need. The Lions have searched for a stable answer across from Hutchinson. They added DJ Wonnum, but the long-term solution remains open. Moore offers speed to power with shock in his hands. He sets edges with pop. He can convert upfield urgency into displacement at the point of attack. Trepaso acknowledged the testing dip. At the Michigan pro day, Moore's vertical and broad jump were below average. That is a data point. The film still showed heavy hands, sturdy edges, and a bull rush that jars. The role in Detroit is straightforward. Win early downs with strength. Collapse the pocket when offenses slide help toward Hutchinson. Grow into the every-down threat they have chased for several seasons. Draft logic that matches Detroit's plan The thread through both picks was fit. The Detroit Lions want to stay among the NFL's best offensive lines. Miller sustains that standard and protects the run-first attitude that powers this group. The comp to Braden Smith underscored a vision for reliable right tackle play in a power running scheme. On defense, Moore's profile addresses a glaring pinch point. He aligns with what the staff values on the edge. Heavy hands. Speed to power. Assignment soundness. The Detroit Lions Podcast conversation kept circling back to this. Detroit selected players who play like Lions. The grades reflect it. The roster construction does too. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #blakemiller #derrickmoore #jimmyrolder #lionsdraft #2026nfldraft #christrapasso #playercomps #kendricklaw Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Xs and Joes, Bob Moats and Mike Wiemuth dig into a topic many Indiana fans can feel but struggle to explain: why so much frustration around IU basketball now feels deeper than just wins and losses. Using recent reactions, historical context, and a few memorable pop-culture references, they explore how decades of unmet expectations have shaped the current mood around the program.Why IU Fans Are So AngryThe conversation starts with the obvious question—and goes well beyond the surface.Why this frustration feels more like exhaustion than outrageHow years of near-misses, resets, and false starts compound over timeThe difference between a disappointed fan base and a burned-out oneWhy anger often shows up when expectations still existThe Weight of Three DecadesIndiana's history matters—but so does everything since.The guys look at how few truly memorable seasons IU has had in the modern era, and why long stretches of mediocrity hit differently at a program with this much tradition.How optimism slowly erodesWhy “just be patient” lands differently now than it once didDusty May, Braden Smith, and the Ones That Got AwayRecent tournament storylines reopened old wounds.The episode explores why certain names trigger such strong reactions from IU fans—and why those reactions are often about more than one player or one coach.Can Darian DeVries Change the Mood?There's real momentum from the portal haul, but skepticism remains.Why this offseason has created genuine intrigueWhat still has to happen before fans fully buy inHow year two could shift the entire tone around the programThis Isn't Just an Indiana ProblemIU may be unique in some ways—but not in this one.The discussion branches into Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas, Nebraska, and other fan bases dealing with the same collision of history, money, and modern expectations.Bottom line: This episode is about more than fan anger. It's about what happens when a proud program goes too long without giving people a reason to believe—and what it will take to earn that belief back.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Houston Texans are in a very different position heading into the 2026 NFL Draft — and it's a good thing. I'm joined by longtime draft analyst John Harris to break down how the Texans' free agency moves (Wyatt Teller, Braden Smith, David Montgomery, and more) have completely reshaped their draft strategy. Instead of drafting out of desperation… the Texans might finally be able to go best player available. We dive into: How free agency freed up the Texans' draft board Offensive line targets that fit DeMeco Ryans' physical identity Tight end options and whether Houston could make a move Under-the-radar draft prospects to watch Why this draft could be about building strength, not fixing weaknesses If you're a Texans fan trying to understand what Nick Caserio might do at pick 28… this is the conversation you need. ️Featuring: John Harris (FootballTakeover.com / Sports Radio 610) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Houston Texans are getting tougher up front. We explore how their offseason moves are shaping a more physical, run-first identity—and why that could be key to success this season. After the first few days of free agency, I was growing concerned that the Houston Texans wouldn't attack the offensive line rebuild with the ferocity I had hoped for. The signings of Wyatt Teller and Braden Smith changed that. In today's episode, I review each of the Texans notable free agency transactions and revise my free agency grade that I gave them a couple weeks ago. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

ITL opens the show discussing the Astros showing signs of doing that thing again, even if some people want to dismiss it as “just spring training.” In The Loop debates whether the early signs actually matter and what it could mean for expectations heading into the season. The conversation then shifts to the Texans offense and whether the way the unit is being built this offseason reveals a bigger plan for how the team wants to support C.J. Stroud moving forward. Around The NFL, B Scott joins the show to discuss several league storylines including a draft prospect dealing with a serious injury, Geno Smith returning to the Jets, and why the Texans signing Braden Smith could make Houston's draft strategy more interesting than people realize. ITL also breaks down the Texans' first week of free agency and hands out superlatives for the moves Nick Caserio and the front office have made so far. Lunch-Time Confessions follows as Figgy admits he completely forgot he had jury duty, before the show reacts to the Titans unveiling their new jerseys and how much fans actually care about uniform changes. Dynamo Head Coach Ben Olsen also joins the show to talk about the team, their upcoming match, and the direction of the club this season. ITL then debates how much responsibility Kevin Durant should carry when it comes to team effort and leadership before wrapping things up with Figgy's Mixtape featuring Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo reportedly being kicked out of the rodeo, throwbacks of media and politicians crashing out, and other wild stories making the rounds in sports and culture.

The new league year opens with Foster Moreau and Logan Hall joining the Texans. Marc and John recap the full free agency haul and break down the O-line debate. Marc Vandermeer and John Harris go live from Sports Radio 610 three hours after the new league year officially opens, recapping the complete free agency haul and reacting to the latest additions. The headline signings: tight end Foster Moreau from the Saints joins as the inline blocking tight end the Texans have been seeking — a former LSU number 18 honoree who overcame Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2023 and embodies swarm culture — and defensive lineman Logan Hall arrives from Tampa Bay on a two-year, $14 million deal, bringing first-round pedigree and inside-outside versatility that John compares to Denico Autry's role. The Texans also add defensive end Dominique Robinson from the Bears on a one-year, $4 million deal and re-sign Naquan Jones. John provides the analytical framework for the Moreau signing, breaking down tight end archetypes — inline/wide tight ends (hand in the dirt blockers), F tight ends (receiving specialists like Mike Gesicki), H-backs, and U tight ends (do-it-all hybrids) — and explains why Moreau's ability to win at the point of attack against a six-technique defensive end unlocks the entire running game by threatening the edge and forcing linebackers to flow over the top instead of sitting in gaps. Marc connects the dots across the full free agency period, arguing the Texans have systematically addressed every area fans and analysts identified as needs: running back (Montgomery), offensive line (Ingram, Brown, Braden Smith), safety (Blankenship), tight end (Moreau), defensive line depth (Hall, Robinson, Naquan Jones, Sheldon Rankins return), and special teams (Hummel) — all without a single budget-breaking deal. The offensive line debate continues with the Braden Smith guard-or-tackle question still unresolved, and both hosts argue it won't matter until OTAs at the earliest. Marc draws the Tytus Howard parallel — Howard successfully moved from tackle to guard and held up well — and suggests Smith's college guard background and elite run-blocking ability could open up two positions instead of one if he slides inside. The show closes with an AFC South check-in: the Colts signed Daniel Jones to a two-year, $88 million deal but haven't impressed otherwise, Jacksonville is losing pieces but retains a solid defensive core, and the Titans under Robert Saleh are the dark horse that could start causing problems if Cam Ward takes a step forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of JT Sports Live JT breaks down why the Ravens backed out of a potential Maxx Crosby trade after a failed physical and why the fallout could be catastrophic for both Baltimore and Las Vegas. JT also highlights the biggest steals from Day 2 of NFL free agency including Devin Lloyd to the Panthers, Nashon Wright to the Jets, Alijah Vera-Tucker to the Patriots, Asante Samuel Jr returning to the Steelers, and Braden Smith signing with the Texans. The show also dives into how Tom Brady is quietly shaping the Raiders organization behind the scenes and why Pittsburgh's aggressive moves in free agency could make the Steelers a bigger contender than people think. JT also examines whether the Eagles are starting to lose their grip on the NFC East while breaking down the biggest winners and losers from Day 2 of NFL free agency.

Braden Smith signs from the Colts and Ka'imi Fairbairn gets extended as the Texans' free agency haul takes shape. Marc and John go live on new league year eve. Marc Vandermeer and John Harris go live from the Sports Radio 610 studios on the eve of the new league year, reacting to Day 2 of legal tampering and a free agency haul that's taking clear shape. The headline signing: Braden Smith, the former Colts right tackle, joins the Texans on a two-year deal worth up to $25 million. John provides the scouting deep dive — Smith was a guard at Auburn (90-plus percent of his college snaps), drafted 37th overall in the same class as Quentin Nelson, and only moved to tackle because a Colts staffer suggested trying him there during OTAs. The hosts leave the guard-vs-tackle decision open, noting it's March 10th with six months until kickoff, and emphasize that Smith's mentality fits the swarm culture regardless of position. John also highlights Jonathan Alexander's article on Smith's openness about mental health and anxiety, calling it impactful for the Houston community. Ka'imi Fairbairn receives a contract extension, cementing the kicker's status as one of the most important players on the roster — Marc spotlights his clutch 51-yard field goal against Pittsburgh in the playoff opener that pushed the lead to 10-6 and effectively changed the complexion of the game. The Texans also officially announced the signings of Ed Ingram, Trent Brown, Dalton Schultz, E.J. Speed, MJ Stewart, and Danielle Hunter's extension, plus added special teamer Jake Hummel and defensive end Dominique Robinson. The offensive line discussion dominates the show, with the hosts mapping out the current group — Aireontae Ersery, Jared Patterson/Braden Smith, Jake Andrews/Eli Cox, Ed Ingram, Trent Brown/Blake Fisher — and making the case that the draft's interior linemen (guards especially) are the sweet spot for picks 28, 38, 58, and 68. John draws an extended parallel between Ersery's development trajectory and Duane Brown's, noting Brown told him it took three or four years to truly master the position, and argues Ersery's year-two leap could be significant. Marc delivers the show's signature math: David Montgomery (two years, $6-7 million) plus Reed Blankenship (three years, $24 million) cost roughly what Kenneth Walker alone commanded (three years, $45 million) — and you get a complete running back plus a starting safety for the price of a first-and-second-down-only runner.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
