Detroit Lions Podcast: Four Straight, Chiefs On Deck The Detroit Lions handled their business against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the tape backs up what the scoreboard said. In this week's episode we unpack why the operation looks calmer, faster, and tougher in all three phases, and we set the stage for Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. If you are tracking power rankings and playoff chatter around the nfl, you can feel it. Detroit is winning in repeatable ways. Jared Goff continues to be the thermostat for this offense. His pre-snap control showed up in protection checks, cadence, and quick answers against rotation. The ball came out on time, the run game stayed on schedule with David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, and the low red zone looked composed. We also talked through the third phase, because Kalif Raymond keeps tilting fields with smart decisions and timely returns that gift the offense short grass. Defensively, the plan was disciplined rush plus tight coverage rules. Aidan Hutchinson's motor again set the edge and squeezed the pocket. The room knows it needs to cut down on penalties that erase game-changing plays, and that message has landed. Trick plays remain on the menu. The staff is still willing to pull levers that force defenses to communicate at speed, and that stress is showing up in busted fits and easy explosives. The injuries are real, and we covered every angle. Terrion Arnold is set to miss time. Other corners are managing issues, which puts a premium on disguises, leverage, and safety help over the top. Up front, Taylor Decker is battling through pain, so the protection plan has to insulate the edges. That means tight end help, chip rules for backs, compressed splits when needed, and a steady diet of first-down efficiency that keeps the entire call sheet available. The fastest way to keep the train on schedule is to keep Jared Goff clean. Now the Kansas City Chiefs. The checklist is clear. Offensively, keep the tempo variable, force simple pictures with motion, and attack space with Gibbs and Sam LaPorta on option routes. Let Amon-Ra St. Brown win choice and glance. Test tackling in the flats. Defensively, Patrick Mahomes punishes undisciplined rush, so it is simulated pressure with rush-lane integrity, late rotation on the back end, and rally tackling. Get Kansas City into second and long, then make them stack drives. This team is stacking traits that travel. Clean pre-snap, early-down wins, red-zone efficiency, and special teams edges are why the Detroit Lions have banked four in a row. The standard does not change because the venue does. Sunday night is a measuring stick, and the locker room is treating it exactly that way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5Y4d8vhMww Let us know what you think about the show by leaving us a message at (313) 314-2421!

Detroit Lions Podcast: Bengals Lessons, Chiefs Challenge The Detroit Lions are 5-1 after taking down the Cincinnati Bengals, their fourth straight victory and one that further solidified their place among the nfl elite. In this week's episode, we unpack how Jared Goff's efficiency and leadership have stabilized the team through injuries, how Kalif Raymond continues to deliver impact plays in key moments, and how Kelvin Sheppard and John Morton have this coaching staff operating at championship tempo ahead of a Sunday night showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs. The story of this Lions offense continues to be balance and adaptability. Goff has been the steady heartbeat, completing nearly 75 percent of his passes and avoiding turnovers while commanding pre-snap adjustments that keep defenses off balance. His chemistry with Amon-Ra St. Brown remains elite, but it was Kalif Raymond who provided the spark in Cincinnati with a clutch punt return that set up an early score and flipped momentum. The podcast breaks down how John Morton's play sequencing kept the Bengals guessing—quick game, motion, and play action that forced light boxes and opened running lanes for David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. The episode also dives into how Morton's offense, still evolving post–Ben Johnson, continues to thrive on situational mastery. Detroit ranks among the league's best in third-down efficiency and red-zone scoring, driven by Goff's control of tempo and the line's ability to protect despite injuries. The creativity remains alive and well—trick plays, shifts, and personnel groupings designed to attack defensive tendencies rather than lean on volume passing. Defensively, Kelvin Sheppard has turned versatility into identity. The Bengals learned quickly that Detroit's front seven can wreck a game on its own. Aidan Hutchinson continues to lead the charge, but the podcast highlights how Sheppard's late-down disguises and mixed coverage shells have turned this group into one of the NFL's most disruptive units. Even as the secondary remains banged up, the Lions' ability to generate pressure with four and stay disciplined in their rush lanes has kept explosive plays to a minimum. Looking ahead, the focus shifts to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Sheppard's next challenge is containing a quarterback who thrives on chaos. Expect Detroit to lean on simulated pressure, zone-match coverage, and spy looks to force Kansas City to sustain drives rather than strike deep. Offensively, Morton and Goff will aim to control pace, shorten possessions, and keep Mahomes watching from the sideline. This week's message is clear: the Detroit Lions have evolved into a complete team—balanced, resilient, and ready for prime time once again. https://youtu.be/MiqD9ai75OU Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast  Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming podcast!

For 59 minutes, Sam Darnold played lights out at quarterback -- up until he drilled a pass into the top of a Bucs helmet and into the intercepting arms of Lavonte David. Up until that point, Darnold had some close calls, but everything had gone the Seahawks way on offense. Defensively, the team was not as lucky. While the 38-35 win was set up from an INT, the previous 35 points were entirely on a sloppy and injury-plagued defensive performance. But they did get one critical stop in the 4th quarter and help the Bucs game in check all day. We talk about where Coach Macdonald may have missed some critical opportunities and how the Seahawks look moving forward after another frustrating home loss.

Featured Musician: Marcus: The Apex Predator THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: Things discussable.]  --------------------- 1. Wisconsin Preview: Offense starts around noon. Hiring Phil Longo was one of those WTF decisions that destroyed what remained of Wisconsin's identity. Without one they're just a Big Ten team, even if they did hire Jeff Grives to run the old Wisconsin offense. Billy Edwards is hurt—one drive against Maryland showed he couldn't go—so they're playing Danny O'Neil, the SDSU transfer who's basically Nick Sheridan. OL is a mess, with Riley Mahlman coming in under expectations, Ryan Cory hurt, and RS freshmen starting at three positions. Not impressed with their skill position players either. Need to get pressure with four—blitzing them just allows them to dink it. 2. Wisconsin Preview: Defense starts around 12:15 Mike Tressel was the LBs coach under Dantonio and runs something akin to Dantonio Quarters, though his guys can't run it well. They do have a decent front four, with two good DTs protected by heavy LBs Christian Alliegro and Tackett Curtis (not good). But those guys can't cover, and you can run by Matthew Jung, the SS who adds himself to the run, and their corners are just guys. Want to see Bryce rip these guys apart. 3. Jason Sklar Around Ann Arbor starts around 12:35 The Sklar Brothers are hosting the Letterwinners homecoming event tonight and doing two shows at the Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase tomorrow night, where you can come up afterwards and give your Hot Takes. We just shoot the shit on Ann Arbor and talk about what comedians get offered to sell out to the Saudis. 4. 2025-26 Hockey Preview starts around 12:50 They have plenty of blueliners—perhaps too many—but not enough forwards. Got more of a mix in the top lines in age, but they're also a lot shorter. Plenty of centers, need TJ Hughes and Michael Hage to continue scoring at a high pace while they bring along some freshmen. Expect Cole McKinney to center a scoring line immediately. One of them (Hughes or Hage) gets Horcoff on the wing after half a young season with him last year. He's one of the best passers and we expect his line to be the top scoring one. Defensively they have depth! And a top four! But there's going be a lot of questions about playing time for the six guys vying to be the third pairing, including a senior captain, two guys who returned that didn't have to, and two freshmen who came to play. As for the backstop, they've got a draft pick freshman again, but he's not Portillo-sized. Featured Artist: Marcus: The Apex Predator The last time we featured reader Kevin Watts's postcore band on this show was right before the last time Wisconsin played before fans at Michigan Stadium. Shea Patterson kept on an arc read deep in Michigan territory to break the game open, and Michigan played Jump Around in the 4th quarter. It's been seven years, but Marcus has a new EP for us. Kevin formed Marcus: the Apex Predator in 2015 with his former drummer from Float Here Forever, Nick Marko. For FHF fans, this is like when Jonah started One Line Drawing to keep making Far songs, except Nick Marko is a drummer whereas Jonah's percussionist was an R2D2 unit. Marcus is a cat.

Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! The Cincinnati Bengals (2-2) host the Detroit Lions (3-1) at Paycor Stadium on Sunday, October 5, 2025, in a 4:25 p.m. ET FOX showdown—America's Game of the Week. With Joe Burrow sidelined by injury, backup Jake Browning steps up amid a Bengals offense averaging a league-worst 19.3 points and 205 yards per game. Last week's 3-point dud in Denver exposed their woes: just 159 total yards and nine first downs. Defensively, they're porous, allowing 30+ points in three of four contests. Ja'Marr Chase remains elite, but Cincy's 2-2 ATS mark as underdogs screams fragility. Home cooking offers slim hope—they score 31 at Paycor but concede 27. Detroit roars in on a three-game heater, leading the NFL with 34.2 points and 365 yards per game. Jared Goff's precision (9 TDs, 2 INTs) fuels a balanced attack, with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery gashing defenses (top-10 rush duo). New OC John Morton adds wrinkles to Dan Campbell's gritty scheme. The Lions' D, allowing 317 yards nightly, thrives in chaos. They're 3-1 ATS on the road lately, and experts peg a 75% win probability. Odds: Lions -10.5, total 47.5. Simulations favor a tight 25-24 Detroit squeaker, but most see a rout. For Bengals fans, it's survival mode; for Lions, a statement en route to contention. The 2025 MLB Division Series explode into action Saturday, October 4, pitting powerhouses against wild-card warriors in best-of-five thrillers. In the AL, powerhouse Toronto Blue Jays (1 seed) host the surging New York Yankees (WC), where Aaron Judge's bat clashes with Toronto's deep rotation led by Kevin Gausman. Meanwhile, Seattle Mariners (2 seed) face gritty Detroit Tigers, with Tarik Skubal's 14-K wild-card gem eyeing a repeat against Seattle's ace Luis Castillo—expect pitching duels in the Emerald City.

The 'Canes and Noles will face each other for the 70th time on Saturday night at Doak Campbell Stadium. In the first segment, the boys discuss the Miami Hurricanes and how their offense has left points on the board. Why has that happened? Do they need to hit those explosive and nuclear plays against FSU to win? Defensively, the Canes have been pretty sound. DC Corey Heatherman has this 'Canes defense operating at a high level. They will need eye discipline to shut down Tommy Castellanos and the FSU offense, but they are up to the task. Both Cam and The Beast believe this game will come down to the physicality of Miami, especially at the line of scrimmage. Do you agree?

Army vs. UAB College Football Pick Prediction 10/4/2025 by Tony T. Recent Box Score Key Stats Army at UAB 12PM ET—Army is 1-3 following their 28-6 road defeat to East Carolina. The Black Knights rushed for 242 yards for 4.6 yards a carry and passed poorly. Defensively they allowed 3.6 yards a carry but 251 yards passing for 11.4 yards per pass attempt.

The Rams hosted the Colts on Sunday, and were able to handle business in the end, thanks to a $10M homerun from Tutu Atwell. This team has proved on multiple occasions in the first quarter of the season that they're tough and resilient, and it feels like when they need it most: they figure out a way to get it. Whether its offensively, or defensively. They're led by Matthew Stafford, who is playing at an MVP level, and Puka Nacua, who is almost unanimously considered to be the best WR in football right now. Defensively, Kam Curl and the safety play has been tremendous (along side of the front-7) but our corners are... bad. Shula is disguising them right now. Regardless, we're 3-1 and are favorites as we prepare for the 49ers on Thursday night! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Carl and Mike come back with some more Falcons talk as they take a few more calls from listeners to allow them to share thoughts on the win. They then get back into some Georgia talk and share thoughts on why they believe the Dawgs were not able to 'figure it out defensively' and simply do not have the type of guys upfront they have had in the past.

The Backcourt Starts at 1:00 Out: Tre Donaldson, In: Elliot Cadeau, who is a much better creator, and that's what this team needs. Cadeau and the general UNC'ness of North Carolina are hard to separate but he was a five-star who plays hot and should benefit from not having to fight for usage with RJ Davis. Defensively his size puts a cap on what he can do but he gets after it: more Xavier Simpson than Eli Brooks. LJ Cason is the backup point, we guess, though he may defer to Gayle as the on-ball player in those sets just because Cason is more of an off-ball threat than Roddy. Cason was a three-star because he was coming in unready, but could take that huge jump. This year is the freshman Jordan Poole year, not the sophomore Jordan Poole year, IE frustratingly forgivable. Gayle isn't going to shoot 9% in the Big Ten again, but he's what he is at this point: a guy who can get to the rim and create fouls/hit his free throws. We kinda want him coming off the bench since he can fill in for a lot of what any given starter leaves, but isn't a great fit with the other projected starting four. The other wild card is their new five-star. Trey McKenney lost 20 pounds in the offseason so he might not as much of a burly 2/3 as he seemed at OLSM. He's still Gayle at this point in his career, though with some big point upside. Not a one-and-done but should be ready by Tournament time. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Hot Takes, Wings and Frontcourt Starts at 32:15 Starting at the three again will be Nimari Burnett, who is Nimari: a usage soak who is there to end good possessions not start them. He began to show a bit of creation late last season but that only got him from 90% points assisted to 84%. He is very good at what he does, and unlikely to do more. His backups are extra guards, and Winters Grady, who should be Just a Shooter at this stage, and more down the road. Oscar Goodman arrived midseason last year, but he's supposed to need another year of development. Patrick Liburd is the kind of guy we wish was 2 years older right now. At the four is Yaxel Lendeborg, the #1 player in the portal, who is going to be a cross between Danny Wolf and Johni Broome, though not better than either of them. He is very strong and impossible to stop once he has you off your feet, but he's coming from an offense where he had to be the alpha creator every play and he's better as the second option. Can he guard up to three? Probably in the Big Ten; there was some distance at the Combine between him and Wolf in the agility drills, but Yaxel came out like Johni: agile enough to be among the who can play the four in the NBA. Backup to Yax is Will Tschetter, the rarest bird in college basketball these days as a five-year player who stuck around despite the likelihood of less playing time than last year. They were working on making him a shooter on the move. He has to be hidden away defensively, but this lineup has plenty of defenders to do that. Frontcourt is two guys instead of 1.5 now. We are obsessed with the upside of Aday Mara, who is 7'3" with impossible length. He would have had the highest block rate in the country by some distance if he played enough to qualify; he didn't because he got sick (Mono?) but when he returned they had him playing 21 mpg and UCLA got much, much better. Then he got benched. Sometimes he plays soft—was that a sick thing, a Cronin thing? He's also got a soft touch and a good feel for passing. May be as good as Yaxel if he hits his ceiling. Mara's platoonmate, and the probable "starter," is Morez Johnson from Illinois, a crazy rebounder with great ups and shot-blocking ability. Offensively he's a finisher. Defensively there's some hope he can be switchable. Going to make it very hard to go inside and give Michigan an edge from the five that they haven't had since...? 3. How It All Fits Starts at 1:11:34 Can they play the bigs together? Matt D says the NBA is going back to three forwards, and Michigan's best attribute is they're Old North Carolina, where they're just going to out-size everybody. That's doable if they can get Mara to be the player we think he could be, since he can create and so can Yaxel, and you can get away with blow-bys when you have a guy like Mara who blocks shots without leaving the floor. Speaking of floor, this team at worst looks like a four-seed, with considerable upside if a) Mara can play more and maintain his numbers, b) Cadeau cuts down on turnovers, c) Gayle finds his shooting, d) Cason blows up, or e) McKenney blows up. Think they can cut down on turnovers from last year because Wolf just had a bunch that were unforced, and because instead of forcing everything to the rim they can shoot bad twos and rebound them. They also just have more room to pass to. 4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 2:02:19 Oregon 30, Penn State 24 Penn State could do nothing on offense until the 4th Q when they had went on an Oregon-is-exhausted march, then hit a great PA shot. The INT that ended it was that pyramid formation Lanning loves. Frames punted from the plus-36.  Ohio State 24, Washington 6 Went about how you might expect a team whose OL/DL are their issues would go against OSU, IE they got six points out of three red zone trips and then it was 17-6 in the 4th Q and they had to go for it on 4th down. OSU did a great job containing the QB run. Indiana 20, Iowa 15 I know that touchdown; that's the Anthony Carter play!  Iowa had chances to win this but lost their QB near the end and also went Cover Zero one too many times.  USC 32, Illinois 34 This felt like two good teams going at it, though USC was short on guys in the secondary and played bend-don't-break until they either broke or Illinois pulled out a Philly Special. Coulda been a blowout but Illinois fumbled in the endzone twice. Minnesota 31, Rutgers 28 Rutgers hits their program high when they have to play a Big Ten West schedule. Good solid quarterbacking until Athan Kaliakmanis had to face pressure, which is like Pedro Serrano trying to hit a curve. Northwestern 17, UCLA 14 Down 17-0 to Northwestern was probably UCLA's best shot at winning a Big Ten game this year.

The Toronto Argonauts dropped another heartbreaker on the west coast, falling 27–22 to the BC Lions in a game they once again had every chance to win. Toronto's offensive line, riddled with injuries, struggled all night, unable to generate push against light boxes in the run game or hold off three and four-man rushes in pass protection. Nick Arbuckle was efficient, but with BC dropping eight and nine into coverage, there simply wasn't anything there. There were bright spots: Jake Herslow and Kevin Mital both had standout performances, and Lirim Hajrullahu was perfect on the night, drilling all five of his field goal attempts, including two from 50 yards. Defensively, the Argos did their job, forcing Nathan Rourke to throw three interceptions, but Toronto could only turn those turnovers into three points. In the end, another controversial replay review swung momentum back to the Lions late, and despite their best efforts, the Argos defence couldn't make one final stop. Ben Grant and JB are here to break it all down, from the offensive struggles to the defensive takeaways, and everything in between.

In this special edition of Tunnel Vision hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio taking a detailed look at USC's next opponent, the Illinois Fighting Illini. The Trojans have started out 2-0 in Big Ten play, with a road win against Purdue and a home victory against Michigan State. Now the task at hand becomes more difficult, playing an ranked Illinois squad that was just humiliated on the road by Indiana. The Illini will do everything it their power to bounce back and use the game against the Trojans as their "get right" game, but will Jayden Maiava and company simply be too much for the Illini? USC's offense has been clicking with an explosive passing attack and relentless ground game and it will try and exploit an Illinois defense that has been decimated by injuries in the secondary. The Trojans have only punted four times all season and with Maiava taking care of the football, the points have been coming fast and furious. Defensively no program has sacked the quarterback more than the Trojans and no Power Four school has given up as many sacks as the Illini. If the USC pass rush can get home, it should go a long way to picking up a win in Champaign. ⁠⁠This is the podcast version of our Tunnel Vision video show. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 30% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

It was a nail-biting 23-20 victory for our Seattle Seahawks over the Arizona Cardinals, but it didn't need to be. We discuss some of the key moments, including a holding penalty on Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the plays that led up to a game-winning field goal by Jason Myers. Sam Darnold picked up his first "stat" as a member of the Seahawks and we talk about some of our favorite throws from the game. Defensively, the Seahawks were able to contain Kyler Murray and get consistent pressure through the first three quarters. Riq Woolen was again targeted late in the game and Devon Witherspoon was in coverage on some late receptions that allowed the Cardinals to get back in the game. Is there a need for a shakeup in the secondary? Finally, we look ahead a bit to the Bucs who come to town after the Seahawks get some extra rest going into their next matchup.  Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

Tek & Prem welcome Kay Adams' Senior Producer Matt Hamilton of FanDuel TV on the VetLine to talk NFL. The Eagles stun the Rams and move to 3-0. Looking ahead at a tough matchup in Tampa Bay, the Eagles have the edge in this edition of the rivalry, as the Bucs are missing their best playmaker and Baker Mayfield nurses an arm injury. Jalen Hurts, Saquon, DeVonta and AJ are 18-0 when starting and finishing games together. Defensively, the loss of Nolan Smith is big, but there are able-bodies to step in and create a pass rush for the Birds. Vic Fangio's system is air tight thus far as the chief of the defense. The Phillies clinch the bye in the NL Playoffs and homefield advantage if they make it back to the World Series.

Ohio State vs Washington Pregame ShowAJ Lets Talk SportsOhio State enters the game as the No. 1 ranked team (3–0) and faces Washington (also 3–0) on the road in Seattle. The Buckeyes are led by freshman QB Julian Sayin, who has been efficient in the early season, while Washington counters with Demond Williams Jr. and standout running back Jonah Coleman. Defensively, Ohio State boasts one of the nation's stingiest red‑zone units, allowing virtually no scores inside the 20 so far. Meanwhile, Washington's offense is explosive (averaging over 500 yards per game) and its third‑down success rate is among the best in the country.LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/AJLetsTalkSportsHistorically, Ohio State leads the all‑time series, including a dramatic 28–23 Rose Bowl win in 2019. This 2025 matchup is their first Big Ten meeting, and it marks Ohio State's first true road trip of the season. Expectations are that depth, experience, and defensive consistency will be major deciding factors, especially in a challenging away environment.

Detroit Lions Podcast: Statement in Baltimore, Calculus for Cleveland The Detroit Lions didn't just beat the Baltimore Ravens—they reframed the early-season narrative on national TV. Our latest episode unpacks how Dan Campbell's group closed a hostile road game, why Jared Goff's quiet precision keeps elevating the offense, and how Kelvin Sheppard's plan rattled Lamar Jackson. Then we pivot to a top-tier defense and a wounded tackle room as the Cleveland Browns come to Ford Field on Sunday. What Monday Night Told Us About Detroit This was complementary football at scale. Offensively, Detroit toggled from Week 2's aerial binge to a trench-first blueprint, piling on rushing efficiency while Goff went 20-of-28 without a turnover and feathered a fourth-down dime to Amon-Ra St. Brown—the night's fulcrum throw. On the edges, Penei Sewell authored a historic performance, drawing the best single-game run-blocking grade in PFF history, a data point that matches the eye test and film-room consensus. Defensively, Kelvin Sheppard started hot-knife/cold-steel—an early score allowed, then relentless adjustment. Detroit sacked Lamar seven times, tying the most he has ever taken, as simulated pressure and delayed second-level triggers compressed escape lanes and forced Baltimore to play left-handed. That's not a fluke; it's teach tape for Sheppard's spy-and-squeeze menu and a culture that fixes problems in-game. Credit John Morton and the offensive staff for the multiplicity, too. The show walks through how Detroit's formation variety and tempo kept Baltimore from sitting on tendencies, with touches distributed across David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam LaPorta, and St. Brown instead of chasing vanity stat lines. This version of the Lions can beat you down two different hallways—through the air one week, through your ribcage the next. Scouting the Cleveland Browns: Iron on Iron Cleveland arrives with an elite, No. 1-rated defense and Myles Garrett, a game-tilting monster who bends pockets all by himself. Detroit's answers? Force Browns corners to tackle in space (Gibbs/LaPorta option routes), vary protection IDs, and keep the ball moving on first down to avoid obvious pass sets. Meanwhile, a battered Browns tackle room complicates their plan: Dawand Jones is out for the season (IR), and Cleveland signed Thayer Munford Jr. while shuffling bookends—an edge opportunity for Aidan Hutchinson and Detroit's five-man fronts. Market signals also reflect the matchup: early Week 4 boards list Detroit as a sizeable home favorite (spreads clustering around Lions −9.5 with a modest total), consistent with the Lions' form and Cleveland's offensive drag. It's still nfl football—one turnover or special-teams swing can rewrite scripts—but Detroit holds multiple levers: early-down efficiency, red-zone resourcefulness, and a pass rush that's heating up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQhZrt4cDdQ Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast  Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming podcast!

Send us a textAll eyes are on Jaxson Dart this week as the rookie QB gets his first real test against a tough Chargers defense. Drop your thoughts in the comments—will Dart rise to the challenge or struggle against one of the NFL's best defenses?This week's matchup has drama everywhere. Gano hits IR, forcing the Giants to bring in Younghoe Koo to the practice squad. Koo's track record with the Falcons has been solid, though he was recently cut after a rough Week 1. His addition could prove crucial as special teams take on added importance in what looks to be a defensive slugfest. Jude McAtamney also remains in the mix, giving the Giants multiple options at kicker moving forward.LA comes in at 3-0, riding strong wins over the Chiefs, Raiders, and Broncos. Herbert is sharp, with 860 yards and six TDs already, while rookie Omarion Hampton is trying to hold down the run game after Najee Harris went down. The real danger lies in the receiving trio of Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Keenan Allen—each already finding the end zone multiple times this season. The offensive line is banged up, however, which could give the Giants' pass rushers an opportunity to make Herbert uncomfortable.Defensively, the Chargers have been elite. They allow just 16.7 points per game, rank 2nd in pass defense efficiency, and are lights out in the red zone with a league-best 25% scoring rate. Derwin James is playing at an All-Pro level, while LB Daiyan Henley is proving disruptive. With Khalil Mack out, the Chargers' sack production may dip, but their ability to generate takeaways and tighten up in the red zone makes them one of the toughest units in football.Keys to victory are clear: establish the run game—including Dart as a dual threat—pressure Herbert into mistakes, and get Nabors heavily involved in the passing attack. Limiting penalties and playing clean football will also be critical in keeping this game within reach. This is the moment for Jaxson Dart to prove he belongs under the lights.Thank you for watching & for your support.

Join the Hardcore Penn State Football Podcast as we break down No. 2 Penn State's commanding 52-6 victory over Villanova in Week 3 at Beaver Stadium! The Nittany Lions surged to 3-0 behind a ferocious defense and a balanced offensive attack, piling up 500+ total yards while limiting the Wildcats to just 182. With a well-timed BYE week ahead of the Big Ten opener against No. 6 Oregon, this blowout keeps PSU firmly in the playoff conversation—but not without some lingering concerns. We're unpacking the film, the highlights, and what needs fixing to stay elite. Let's roll! Drew Allar put up solid numbers against Villanova—24-of-32 for 280 yards and three TDs—but his streaky tendencies reared their head again, including a first-half interception on a forced checkdown that Omari Bursey snagged for the Wildcats' lone early momentum shift. Allar bounced back with dimes to Trebor Peña (23-yard TD) and Kyron Hudson, but the boom-or-bust pattern—elite lasers mixed with underthrows and hesitation under light pressure—has fans asking: Has he regressed from preseason hype, or is this just Week 3 rust against an FCS foe? With Oregon's pass rush looming, Allar's consistency will be make-or-break. Penn State's defense is a juggernaut, holding Villanova to 2-of-12 on third downs, 3.2 yards per carry, and forcing two turnovers in a near-shutout effort (Villanova's garbage-time TD came with zeros on the clock). True freshman CB Jahmir Joseph emerged as the star, snagging his first career interception—a great baiting of the QB—and returning it 49 yards for a back-breaking pick-6. Tony Rojas added two sacks, Zuriah Fisher terrorized the edges, and the unit's physicality was on full display. Under DC Jim Knowles, this group is swarming, turnover-prone, and absolutely terrifying—is it the best in the country?BYE Week Focus: What Must PSU Improve Before Oregon? The 52-6 thrashing was fun, but the BYE offers prime time to polish rough edges. Offensively, the line still whiffed on a few assignments, leading to stalled red-zone drives (though Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen combined for 160 rushing yards and three TDs). Third-down conversions ticked up to 7-of-14, but efficiency in two-minute drills needs work to counter Oregon's tempo. Defensively, run fits were solid, but coverage lapses allowed a late score—nothing major, but details matter against top-10 talent. Special teams? Ryan Barker nailed three field goals (45, 42, and 28 yards), and Gabe Nwosu averaged 58 yards on punts. Coach Franklin's offseason to-do: O-line cohesion, Allar's footwork, and depth reps to keep the D fresh. Get it right, and PSU could be unstoppable.

The Argonauts survived a rollercoaster game at BMO Field, edging out Edmonton 31–30 on a 47-yard walk-off field goal from Lirim Hajrullahu. Toronto turned the ball over six times, leading directly to 27 Elks points, but Edmonton's lone miscue proved costly. With just over three minutes remaining, Andrew Chatfield scooped up a Cody Fajardo fumble and ran it back for a go-ahead touchdown. Fajardo responded with a composed drive to reclaim the lead, but when Nick Arbuckle went down injured, third-string QB Jarret Doege came off the bench and orchestrated a miraculous final drive in the dying seconds to set up the game-winner against his former team. Defensively, the Argos registered five sacks and kept Justin Rankin in check for most of the afternoon, which allowed them to withstand a near-flawless performance from Fajardo (25/28, 229 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT). Ben Grant and JB break down all the drama, the mistakes, and the resilience it took for the Boatmen to come away with the win.

Carl and Mike come back and get into some Falcons talk as they react to the Falcons latest injury report in which Drake London and Darnell Mooney were not listed and were full participants in Friday's practice however rookies James Pearce Jr. (groin) and Billy Bowman Jr. (shoulder) were listed as questionable to which the guys agree raises some concern about the FalcoCns being able to improve on the missed opportunities the had in their season opener.

In the 4th hour of today's show, the guys hit the Falcons Report. We preview UGA/Tennessee and GT/Clemson.

Detroit Lions Still Looking to Launch | Detroit Lions Podcast The Detroit Lions opened their 2025 NFL season with a tough loss on the road to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. In our latest episode, Detroit Lions Still Looking To Launch, we break down what went wrong in Week 1 and what needs to change as the Lions prepare for a pivotal Week 2 matchup at home against the Chicago Bears—now led by Ben Johnson, Detroit's former offensive coordinator. Packers Postmortem: Slow Start, Missed Chances The Packers game offered an uncomfortable reminder that the margin for execution in the NFL is razor-thin. Jared Goff and the Lions offense moved the ball but stalled in critical spots. Protection breakdowns and untimely penalties blunted drives, leaving points on the field. Defensively, Detroit allowed Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers to exploit coverage mismatches and extend plays on third down. On the podcast, we ask tough questions: was this simply Week 1 rust, or do the Lions have deeper issues with discipline and situational football? The discussion highlighted the need for sharper red-zone execution, better balance between Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery in the run game, and more consistent pass rush to relieve pressure on the secondary. Bears Week: Ben Johnson Returns to Ford Field Looking ahead, all eyes are on Ben Johnson's return to Detroit. After architecting the Lions' explosive offense last year, Johnson now brings his creativity to the Chicago Bears as head coach. That familiarity cuts both ways—Detroit knows his tendencies, but Johnson also knows Goff's strengths and weaknesses. In the show, we explore how Dan Campbell and Aaron Glenn can counter Johnson's schemes. Will the Lions lean on tempo and power formations to dictate terms? Can Detroit's defense stay disciplined against Justin Fields' replacement-led attack, featuring heavy RPO and play-action wrinkles Johnson loves to dial up? Fans are eager to see how Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, and Jameson Williams can exploit Chicago's young secondary in a must-win divisional matchup. Listener Reactions and Season Outlook Our live chat zeroed in on one theme: urgency. A slow start cost Detroit in Green Bay, and with the NFL spotlight growing brighter, the Lions can't afford to stumble again at home. Week 2 against Chicago offers a chance to reset momentum, reclaim toughness in the trenches, and prove the Lions remain contenders in the NFC North.
