Podcasts about defensive

On this edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe talk the future of the Browns' coaching staff. Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz has expressed interest in being a head coach again. What are the pros and cons of promoting Schwartz, considering his experience and the success of the defense, versus the league trend of hiring younger, offensive-minded coaches? Could promoting Schwartz or offensive coordinator Tommy Rees provide stability, or do the Browns owe it to themselves to conduct a full, comprehensive coaching search if they move on from Kevin Stefanski? They also explore the argument for keeping Stefanski as a CEO coach to maintain the continuity of his successful coordinators. Then, Lance Reisland joins Dan to break down the film from the win over the Steelers. - How the Steelers game-planned to stop Myles Garrett and whether it was more than usual. - The decision-making of Aaron Rodgers and the plays he left on the field. - The continued development and areas for improvement for QB Shedeur Sanders. - Standout performances from defensive players like Carson Schwesinger, who played through injury, and the impressive physicality of Tyson Campbell. Finally, we wrap up with a fun draft of overrated holiday traditions, debating everything from the New Year's Eve ball drop to Black Friday shopping.

Send us a textEli Manning's inclusion on the Pro Football Hall of Fame finalists list sparks a renewed debate about his legacy and what ultimately defines a Hall of Fame quarterback. We break down why Eli's case continues to divide fans and voters, especially as he enters his second year of eligibility.The conversation then turns to the New York Giants defense and whether the statistical improvement under Charlie Bullen reflects real progress or a short-term bump. We analyze changes in pressure rate, red zone defense, and overall scoring to determine what's sustainable moving forward.We also discuss Abdul Carter's recent four-game surge and what his increased production means for the Giants' pass rush outlook. Finally, we evaluate two very different coaching candidates in Matt Burke and Klint Kubiak, comparing experience, upside, risk, and overall fit with the Giants' current situation.Outro Thank you for listening to 2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates. If you enjoy the show, you can support us and stay connected here:Get Official Goofball Merch https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support the Show on Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsSubscribe to the YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@2giantgoofballs?sub_confirmation=1Follow the Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/2giantgoofballsFollow the Show on X https://x.com/2giantgoofballs #giants #nygiants #eliamanning #giantspodcastSupport the show

The [DS] infiltrated Congress going all the way back to 1929, the continued to present day. They made it so they have the ability to control those people they install. There are no term limits, this allows these people to stay in their positions for a very longtime. Trump is now setting the stage to return the power back to the people.

This would allow Trump’s side to subpoena Fed documents, emails, financial records, and testimony related to the renovations. This could effectively let them “look into” specific aspects of what the Fed has been doing, such as budgeting, contracting, and project management for the HQ overhaul. Discovery rules under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are broad, potentially uncovering internal Fed communications or decisions tied to the alleged incompetence.    Trump could request a GAO investigation into the HQ project overruns.

The couple's 8-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, were included in the process.  Clooney went on to explain that he feared raising his children in Los Angeles. “I was worried about raising our kids in L. A., in the culture of Hollywood. I felt like they were never going to get a fair shake at life. France—they kind of don't give a shit about fame. I don't want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi.

Hale's parents suggested this two years ago and this report appears to confirm that. The Tennessee Star reports: Latest FBI Release of Covenant School Manifesto Files Appears to Confirm Trans-Identified Killer Bought Guns with Pell Grant Money The FBI on Monday released another 230 manifesto pages written by Audrey Elizabeth Hale, the biological female who identified as a transgender man on March 27, 2023, when the 28-year-old killed six at the Covenant School in Nashville, the Christian elementary school she once attended. This latest journal appears to have been written sometime in late 2021, and includes lengthy sections about the weapons the killer planned to use to commit a mass shooting at a school sometime that year. Following multiple pages full of weapons to purchase, the journal includes a page labeled “Account Savings Record,” which appears to reference the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It also records multiple payments received from Nossi during the period when Hale attended the Nossi College of Art and Design in Nashville. “FASFA [sic] grant checks started at $2,050.86,” wrote Hale at the top of the entry. The page then lists a series of apparent ledger entries, starting with, “$2,656.87 (x3 checks from Nossi).” The next ledger entry states, “+$530.00 (x1 check Nossi) ($3,186.87).” This reference to Hale's federal student aid, located in the writings next to her entries about guns she considered buying, appears to corroborate the claims made by her parents to Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) detectives in 2023, when they told law enforcement their child purchased the firearms using federal Pell Grant money.  Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/2005425950306263265?s=20 War/Peace https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2005747398614847766?s=20 https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/2005757621278761205?s=20 Trump clarifies that if Hamas do not disarm like they promised, that any number of the 59 countries who signed onto the peace deal, will completely wipe out Hamas.  Protests Erupt Across Iran As Angry People Flood Streets  The mullahs have ruled in Iran since 1979. So you had millions that went to helping to prop up the terrorist state. But the Iranians are a persistent people, it would appear, especially when you hurt them in their wallets and make it challenging to survive. We’re at another one of those moments in history where hope has sparked again in the country, and people are in the streets, calling for change. Nationwide strikes and protests by merchants continued across Iran, with shops shuttered in major commercial hubs including Tehran's Grand Bazaar, Lalehzar Street, Naser Khosrow and Istanbul Square. Demonstrators chanted anti-government slogans calling for the downfall of the ruling clerics and demanding the leadership step aside. Video circulating online showed protesters inside a major shopping complex in Tehran's Grand Bazaar chanting, “Have no fear, we are all together,” while hurling insults at security forces and calling them shameless. Source: redstate.com Crushed by inflation, soaring living costs, and a future stolen by the regime, Iranians are back in the streets to protest. In a chilling echo of Tiananmen's Tank Man, one man defiantly sits down before the riot police. Desperation has met courage. Funds have been cutoff to the Mullahs/DS. They will lose control in the end and the people will rise up and take back their country. Cyber attacks ‘tipping point' warning issued after Harrods and M&S targeted Cyber attacks surged into prominence in 2025, inflicting significant financial damage on major British businesses and exposing widespread vulnerabilities across the economy. High-profile targets included automotive giant Jaguar Land Rover, retail stalwart Marks & Spencer, and luxury department store Harrods, underscoring how firms of all sizes are susceptible to sophisticated digital threats. Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England, articulated his belief that cyber attacks represent one of the most substantial threats to UK financial stability, stressing the “critically important” need for collaborative defence. He stated: “Cyber attacks are far from new, but 2025 has shown just how deeply cyber risk is intertwined with economic stability and business continuity.” Source:  uk.news.yahoo.com  President Trump Responds to the 91-Drone Attack on Putin's Residence in Novgorod region During an impromptu press availability beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump responded to a question about a drone attack against the personal residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin. President Trump noted that he was informed of the attack by President Putin during an early Monday phone call between the two leaders. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has denied the accusation that Ukraine carried out this particular attack.  The attack took place while Zelenskyy was in Florida meeting with President Trump. U.S. media have said the attack on Putin may be a lie; however, with physical evidence from the defense operation, it is less likely Russia just made up the attack.  At this moment in the conflict, Putin doesn't need domestic propaganda. CONTEXT: British intelligence previously confirmed their participation in the successful Ukraine drone attack against long-range Russian bombers.  That operation, highly controversial at the time, was previously confirmed by President Trump saying the U.S. was not informed in advance. The “coalition of the willing” has also expanded.  Outside the Ukraine regime, the current group making up the “coalition of the willing” includes: the U.K, France, Germany, Canada and Australia.  It is worth noting the additions are all part of the British commonwealth (U.K, Canada, Australia).   I suspect the British did it Source: theconservativetreehouse.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2005810672672624746?s=20   and utilities have materially underperformed the broader market over the last few years.

A similar pattern occurred during the 1990s, while the opposite took place during the 2008 Financial Crisis, when global defensive stocks outperformed. Defensive sectors are lagging. Medical/False Flags [DS] Agenda Soros family reportedly donated more than $71,000 to Letitia James campaigns Leftist billionaire George Soros and members of his family have donated more than $71,000 to political campaigns supporting New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James since 2019, according to a report published Sunday by the New York Post. The report, citing campaign finance records, said the total includes $31,000 contributed toward James' 2026 reelection bid. Soros personally donated $18,000 in July 2024, while his daughter-in-law, Jennifer Soros, contributed $13,000 in May. With earlier donations included, Soros and his family have provided James with roughly $40,000 more since 2019, the Post reported. The figure does not include the indirect support James has received through left-leaning organizations backed by Soros. The report said Soros' Open Society Foundations have given more than $865,000 to the New York branch of the Working Families Party since 2018.

I wanted to share some info with you that you might find interesting. I was trained by U.S. Military people off the books starting in college. I have been on projects since that time in Eastern Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Africa. All in the line of duty what I thought was right and in the best interest of the United States. Recently I was approached about a project that Tim Walz wanted done, and Keith [unclear] was also aware of the project. Tim wanted me to kill Amy Klobuchar and Tina [unclear]. Tim wants to be a senator and he doesn't trust [unclear] to retire as planned and this is meant to stay in the last mile with Amy & [unclear] gone. Tim would get one of the open senate seats, and [unclear] was to be VP, and Keith Ellison would be rewarded with a lucrative governing position. I told Tim I wanted nothing to do with it and that I didn't call off that plan I would go public. He said he would call it off himself if I didn't play ball. Then he set up a meeting with me and [unclear] and [unclear] to take care of me when I refused. They had some people waiting to kill me. I was able to get away by God's mercy. So I went back a short time later and shot back at [unclear]. You should notice how I didn't fire me rounds at any police officers and by God I have plenty of opportunity. Ask for the report on how many weapons and ammunition I had with me. Cops were pulling up right next to me in unmarked vehicles and I had an AK pistol across my lap. And I could have left a pile of cops dead but I did not. Short burst towards law enforcement. You can ask them. Because I snapped the police and chose not to see them hurt. But it may end up my wife and kids next time. I won't give them a pass. If you think I'm making this up just get on the phone and tell Tim you have a few questions for him. Then ask Tim Walz if he knows me and see what he says? If he says he doesn't know me, or never met me, look in the files and you will see that Tim personally approved me to be on his Governor's workforce. Bridges are the business representatives. He is probably trying to destroy that note but it is public record. Then ask Tim Walz why they kept the shots silent from the media when they first happened. Not a word in the press and I. Why? They needed to get their stories figured out. So everyone was on the same page about what happened. Tim is probably crapping bricks right now because I'm still at large and he knows what I can disclose and that I know about all the buried skeletons are. So I will be shot on sight you can bet on that. If you want me to turn myself in it need to be directly to you and then I need to be held at a military prison or in the Middle East, or at least on a ship. These guys have military backgrounds and can get to anybody. I am willing to spill all the beans. I just want my family safe. They had nothing to do with this and are totally innocent.

One voice per 700,000 people. The founders envisioned one per 30,000. That ratio was frozen in 1929, locked by the Permanent Apportionment Act, ensuring the number would remain manageable. Manageable for whom? One hundred senators. 535 total legislators controlling the direction of the largest economy in human history. You do not need to purchase a nation. You purchase 535 people. Or fewer. Buy the committee chairs. Fewer still. Buy the leadership. A few dozen individuals, properly leveraged through money or blackmail (it's actually both), steer everything. The bottleneck is artificial. Engineered for efficient capture. The Federal Reserve arrived in 1913, transferring monetary sovereignty from the people to a private banking cartel. That same year, the 17th Amendment removed state legislatures from Senate appointments, severing the balance between federal and state power. The intelligence apparatus emerged after World War II as a parallel government operating beyond electoral accountability. The administrative state metastasized into an unelected fourth branch writing rules with the force of law. Layer upon layer. Each generation inherits chains from contracts they never signed, bound by compromises made long before their birth. Yes, the Founding Fathers intended for the House of Representatives to expand as the population grew. The U.S. Constitution’s Article I, Section 2 established an initial apportionment ratio of no more than one representative per 30,000 inhabitants (with each state guaranteed at least one), implying that the total number would increase based on census results every ten years. the framers expected regular adjustments to maintain proportional representation as the nation expanded.  James Madison, in Federalist No. 58, directly addressed concerns that the House might not grow, arguing that the Constitution’s mechanisms—such as decennial reapportionments—would “augment the number of representatives” over time, and that political incentives (e.g., larger states pushing for increases) would ensure it happened.  This intent is further supported by the proposed (but unratified) Congressional Apportionment Amendment from the original Bill of Rights, which aimed to set a formula preventing the House from becoming too small relative to the population.  However, the House was permanently capped at 435 members by the Apportionment Act of 1929, diverging from this original vision. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2005740095979069669?s=20   attempt instead chase smaller game, run interference, attack each other, send you down rabbit holes, and offer limited hangouts that lead nowhere.

Many variables must be accounted for and many pieces must be in place before we can do something of this magnitude. But if you've been paying attention, you'd see that much of these things have already been taken care of over Trump's first year. I'm more optimistic than I've ever been, and frankly I don't understand how people don't see what Trump is doing.

Haak plays both as a midfielder and a centerback. And this certainly has the makings of a possible 5-man backline with three quality centerbacks. So what could Greg Vanney do with his newfound defense? Hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the big changes coming to the Galaxy's defense and why the moves don't seem to be over yet.

This episode dives into one of the most fun and chaotic questions of the NFL season: which franchise would be the strangest to become the next dynasty? The guys debate unlikely dynasty candidates like the Jaguars, Browns, Titans, Falcons, and Chargers, breaking down franchise history, ownership instability, fan bases, and why sustained dominance from these teams would feel completely surreal.From there, the conversation shifts into a full NFL playoff contender analysis, examining which teams are actually built for January football. The Rams get serious love as a dangerous NFC team thanks to coaching, play calling, and quarterback play, even with some puzzling losses on their resume. The Bears' playoff outlook sparks debate as the group discusses their ability to win ugly games and why they could be a nightmare first round matchup despite skepticism about their overall ceiling.The NFC West gets a full breakdown as the Seahawks, 49ers, and Rams jockey for position. Defensive strength, star power, and quarterback consistency are all debated, with disagreement over which team has true Super Bowl potential versus which needs everything to break perfectly.The discussion expands to the broader playoff field, including the Bills' championship ceiling, the Jaguars being a legitimate contender despite low national expectations, and the Cowboys being labeled as entertaining but unreliable. The Texans emerge as a true wild card thanks to their defense and improving quarterback play, while concerns mount around teams like the Saints and their long term quarterback plan.The episode wraps with early NFL playoff predictions, division title picks, and speculative trade conversations involving young quarterbacks. With no clear dominant team this season, the group agrees the NFL is as wide open as it has been in years and sets the stage for a full playoff bracket breakdown next episode.If you love NFL playoff debates, Super Bowl contenders, dynasty hypotheticals, power rankings, and bold predictions, this episode is packed with arguments, laughs, and big picture takes you won't hear anywhere else.

The Seahawks rolled into Carolina and took care of business coming out with the 27-10 victory. The offense sputtered in the first half, but the defense came to play from start to finish.

They then look ahead to the game that takes the cake, for all the marbles, in a last week matchup @ the 49ers for the NFC's #1 seed. Tune in now!

The Packers just delivered one of the most confusing games of the season—a performance that was somehow satisfying, depressing, and historically awful all at the same time. The offense looked absolutely dominant with Malik Willis at the helm, cutting through the Ravens defense like they didn't exist. But the defense? They gave up 41 points, the worst performance since 2016 and the worst of the entire Matt LaFleur era. This episode digs deep into what's really broken with this team. It's not just injuries—it's belief. The 2010 Packers had injuries too, but they had something this team doesn't: the ability to rise up. We're watching a squad that can't capitalize on momentum, can't get inspired, and can't seem to find that warrior mentality when it matters most. The locker room knows the standard isn't being met, but nobody seems to know how to fix it. We also explore the uncomfortable question: Is Matt LaFleur still the right guy for this next phase? We break down the potential coaching candidates—from Jesse Minter's proven NFL success to Joe Brady's combination of offensive brilliance and leadership—and examine what a transition might look like. Plus, the painful reality that Malik Willis is about to walk out the door for almost nothing after proving he can run this offense at an elite level. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The Seahawks defense put on a clinic against the Panthers, suffocating Carolina's offense and consistently pressuring Bryce Young. The defense limited Young to less than 60 yards through the air and Julian Love picked off Young once. Rico Dowdle actually had more yards on the ground by himself than the entire passing offense. Zach Charbonnet's 122 yards nearly eclipsed the Panthers 139 total yards and his two touchdowns would have been all the offense they needed. Ultimately, the Seahawks 27-10 victory keeps them on pace to win the NFC West and take the top seed heading into the playoffs. There is one unlikely scenario that could lock up the top spot by Tuesday, but a Niners loss to the Bears could make next week's matchup relatively meaningless for San Fran.

When the stakes are high and expectations are muddy, even the most competent humans can slip into self‑protection mode at work.  Deadlines, performance reviews, politics, and power dynamics can echo earlier experiences of exclusion or danger, so our nervous systems do what they were wired to do: defend.  In this conversation, our gals break down how that shows up on teams—and what to do about it.    The six threat responses at work: •Fight: The combative colleague who argues every point, dominates meetings, or treats every disagreement like a win‑lose battle.     •Flight: The smart person who goes quiet, avoids conflict, or turns down opportunities because speaking up feels risky.     •Freeze: The “I don't know” response, analysis paralysis, and stalled decisions that show up when people are terrified of being judged or getting it wrong.      •Please/appease: The chronic yes‑sayer who overworks, agrees with everything the boss says, and buries their own dissent to stay liked.  This can look like commitment and “great attitude,” but often signals people who do not feel safe being real.    •Attach/cry for help: The “needy” teammate who constantly checks in, escalates, or dramatizes issues to get attention and reassurance.     •Collapse/submit: The checked‑out, burned‑out, “why bother” energy—folks who stay on payroll but mentally and emotionally leave the building.     The good news is that psychological safety can change everything! Listeners will recall that psychological safety is the shared belief that it's safe to take interpersonal risks like asking questions, making mistakes, or disagreeing with the boss.  When safety is low, threat responses spike; when safety is high, people can access their best thinking, creativity, and courage instead of just their defenses.    Use this episode to reflect on your own go‑to response (fight, flight, freeze, fawn, attach, or collapse) at work—and how you, yes you, can help make your workplace safer, more honest, and a hell of a lot more joyful.

RJ Bell and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for Week 17 As the NFL calendar turns to Week 17, the conversation centers on motivation, late season data, and targeted betting angles shaped by how teams actually perform across game segments. The discussion opens with a clear theme, late season handicapping requires a different lens, particularly as playoff incentives sharpen for some teams and vanish for others. With a large sample now available, quarter by quarter and half by half scoring trends are treated as actionable signals rather than noise. That approach drives the headline recommendation of the week, Baltimore versus Green Bay, where the data shows an extreme split between early and late scoring. The first half consistently underperforms expectations while the second half consistently exceeds them, leading to a primary position that the second half will outscore the first. Supporting angles include first quarter unders and first half unders, all pointing to the same structural imbalance rather than a simple total play. Motivation analysis also plays a central role. New England is highlighted as one of the league's strongest first half teams, paired against a Jets team perceived to be prioritizing draft position, making Patriots first half minus seven a featured recommendation. Tennessee's strong recent first quarter performance contrasts sharply with New Orleans' league worst first quarter results, producing a Titans first quarter position split between plus points and moneyline exposure to reduce vig. Game script considerations dominate several player and team prop discussions. Josh Allen's passing yardage under is framed not as a talent fade but as a run heavy Bills game plan when playing from ahead, leading to a correlated parlay pairing Buffalo to win with Allen under 194.5 passing yards. Defensive pressure metrics inform the Chargers team total under against Houston, with the expectation that sustained pressure limits Justin Herbert regardless of game outcome. Additional plays lean heavily on effort and incentive. The Raiders are positioned against a Giants team viewed as actively tanking, while Jacksonville versus Indianapolis is framed as a pure scoring environment with both teams capable of pushing the total over 48.5. Tony Pollard's rushing prop is supported by Tennessee's commitment to the ground game in competitive spots, and Chiefs Broncos under 36.5 reflects quarterback uncertainty and expected conservative game plans. Throughout the analysis, the emphasis remains consistent, late season edges come from understanding who needs the game, who is willing to empty the playbook, and how scoring actually unfolds by quarter rather than relying on full game narratives alone.

Detroit Lions vs Pittsburgh Steelers Post Game Show: A December Fight at Ford Field Everything on the Line for the Lions in Week 16 The Detroit Lions entered Week 16 of the NFL season with no margin for error, hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers at Ford Field in a game that carried unmistakable playoff urgency. December football rarely offers subtlety, and this match-up fit the bill. The Lions needed a complete performance, while the Steelers arrived with their own postseason hopes hinging on discipline, defense, and physical execution. On our post game show, the focus turns to how Detroit handled the moment. Did the Lions play free and aggressive, or did the weight of the situation show early? Ford Field has been a fortress at times this season, and the atmosphere reflected what was at stake. We will break down how the Lions responded to that energy and whether it translated into clean execution on the field. One of the defining storylines heading into the game was how Detroit would deal with Pittsburgh's identity. The Steelers are built around defense, pressure, and forcing mistakes. That puts immediate emphasis on Jared Goff's decision making, the offensive line's communication, and Detroit's ability to stay ahead of the chains. Whether the Lions leaned on the run game or trusted the passing attack to move the ball will be a central part of the discussion. Key Talking Points from Lions vs Steelers Tonight's Detroit Lions post game show will cover the most important themes from this late season clash: Quarterback composure: Goff has been at his best when playing within rhythm and avoiding turnovers. We will evaluate how he handled Pittsburgh's pressure packages and disguised coverages. Defensive toughness: The Steelers rarely beat themselves. Did Detroit's defense create negative plays, win on early downs, and force Pittsburgh into uncomfortable situations? Physicality and field position: Games like this often come down to hidden yards. We will examine special teams, punt coverage, and how both teams managed field position. Coaching decisions under pressure: Late season games test a staff's nerve. We will discuss fourth down choices, clock management, and red zone strategy. Execution in critical moments: Third downs, short yardage, and turnovers tend to decide games with playoff implications. Detroit's performance in these moments will be a major focus. Listener Calls and Detroit Lions Reaction The heart of the post game show is always the fans, and tonight will be no different. We will open the phone lines and take listener calls to capture the full Detroit Lions reaction to a game that could define the season. Were fans encouraged by the Lions' resolve? Did this performance reflect a team ready for January football, or were there missed opportunities that loom large? December games against teams like Pittsburgh reveal who you are. They expose flaws, reward toughness, and leave no room for excuses. Regardless of the final score, this match-up provides a clear snapshot of where the Lions stand as the playoff picture tightens.
