Things Discussed: Online Q&A Tomorrow hosted by U-M Club of Fairfield. Detroit Kickoff Dinner on Monday at Ford's Garage, and the following day I'm in D.C. Pre-show, Sam & Ira were talking NFL doing away with Pro Bowl. Seth suggests they have college alumni games. Certainly there are some NFL players from Ohio State who want to beat Michigan at something once in their lives? Pick different rivalries every year. Best Fred Jacksonism ever: Anton Campbell is Gayle Sayers. Sorting the camp facts from camp lies. Tariq Boney is believable because he's probably getting to the quarterback, could be used in an Uche role this year, but isn't going to be on the field in a run situation. Use what you know and how players develop. Lea'ea has gotten bigger, but can he get so much bigger to be one of the three, or isn't it more likely he's just going to be who he is and what you're hearing about Kanka and Palepale is they're not impact guys right now, and Moten etc. are not playable yet? Linebacker is where this gets scary, because once you start talking about Max Alford: I know what Max Alford looks like. Basketball trip to Lithuania takeaways: Quinn Costello is a movement shooter. Taller Foster Loyer. Brandon McCoy is going to be a problem on both ends of the court. Think his shot is busted; his free throws are not that close. Craig: teach him some midrange. Center: Can't play without Thiam. Estrella looks like a four, Moller is not ready this year. New rules to prevent pros from coming back: schools will punish coaches and schools, hope to muddle things for inevitable lawsuits. Big Ten hasn't promulgated a basketball rule, football rule means no Ernest Hausmann though, because (before they made the rule) his name was in the Draft. Roddy would be ineligible if they extend this to basketball because he played in summer league, which is a pro league. NCAA won some recent cases.

Mike Giardi breaks down Patriots preseason game two on the All 32 NFL Podcast. New England got the win, but the depth concerns Mike Vrabel openly flagged are front and center.

The Kyle Williams evaluation is the centerpiece of the episode, with Mike breaking down exactly what his role could look like once the regular season starts and why teams might game plan specifically to neutralize him.

NFL analyst Dan Pizzuta joins Andrew to break down a pivotal stretch of Patriots preseason. First up: Mike Vrabel's candid admission that this roster lacks depth. It was an unusually honest assessment from a head coach, and Dan and Andrew dig into exactly what Vrabel meant and whether it should concern Patriots fans heading into the season. Then they put five specific position groups under the microscope, rating their depth concerns on a scale of 1 to 10. Which spots are genuine liabilities? Which ones look shakier than the box score suggests? The guys don't pull punches. Then it's into the film room for a rewatch of New England's preseason win over the Eagles. Joint practices gave both teams a real look at each other, and seeing it all again on tape reveals details that get lost in live observation. 0:00 – Intro 1:53 – Mike Vrabel's depth comments & what they really mean 5:09 – Film notes: what stood out on rewatch 16:58 – PrizePicks 19:56 – Drake Maye preseason status & starter reps 20:29 – Running back depth rating 27:18 – Tight end depth rating 32:18 – Interior offensive line depth rating 39:16 – Edge rusher depth rating 41:29 – Corner & safety depth concerns 45:24 – Linebacker depth rating 48:42 – Closing thoughts & what to watch heading into the season 52:19 – Outro HELP US GET 1k on our 2nd channel!

With 2025 starting linebackers Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles both selected among the top-10 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Ohio State Buckeyes are going to have a new look at linebacker this fall. But more than just new faces, there are going to be new roles and a new mixture of players in different packages. In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeInsiders.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss how the new-look linebackers could fit together to defend against the wide variety of offenses they'll face this fall.From last year's third linebacker Payton Pierce, to Wisconsin transfer Christian Alliegro, to talented second-year standouts Riley Pettijohn and TJ Alford, there is a lot of potential in James Laurinaitis' position group.  Today's episode is presented by Jeff Ruby's Columbus, proudly offering nationally-acclaimed U.S.D.A.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton and Hank South react to the breaking news that Ty'Anthony Smith is no longer with the Texas football program. Smith was the Longhorns' second-leading returning tackler and an important rotational piece, leaving Texas with significantly less experience behind projected starters Justin Cryer, Rasheem Biles and Brad Spence. The crew examines whether linebacker has suddenly become the biggest concern on Will Muschamp's defense and which players must step forward before the season begins. Can freshmen Tyler Atkinson, Rocky Cummings and Kosi Okpala handle expanded roles, or will Steve Sarkisian explore the transfer portal for emergency depth? With the second scrimmage approaching, Texas must quickly find answers in a room that now has virtually no margin for error. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz continue their position group preview series by looking at the Michigan football team's linebacker room. They open with a look at the strengths and question marks of the room, as they try to make sense of a position group that lost its top four players from last season, and did not add a true sure-thing player though the transfer portal this offseason. Nonetheless, they examine the top four linebackers in the room, and what they can bring in 2026.In the second half of the episode, they look at two x-factor players for the room, the floor and ceiling for the position group, and how they will measure success for the Wolverines' linebackers in 2026.

On the latest podcast we continue our NC State football position previews with an in-depth look at the Wolfpack's linebackers!

Tobin sits down with Anthony Wint, UFC Heavyweight and former FIU linebacker to talk about his upcoming fight!

As our NFL Training Camp tour continues, we stop in H Town to sit with a big part of the league's top tier defense with one of the leaders, Linebacker, Azeez Al-Shaair, who sits with us for an honest conversation about the journey that shaped him—his upbringing, family, faith, and the adversity he had to overcome to reach the NFL and stay in the league. Azeez opens up about his path to football, the obstacles he faced along the way, being one of eight children raised by a single mother, and the mindset that helped him turn challenges into motivation. He gets candid about his NFL career, his identity and religion, the intensity of playing defense, and the moments that tested him both on and off the field. The conversation also dives into the controversial hit on Trevor Lawrence, the aftermath and lessons that came from it...he doesn't hold back on the realization of how he quickly became judged by the world for that one moment and how it affected him mentally and on the field. With head coach DeMeco Ryans being one of his early supporters from their time in San Francisco, he shares how Coach was one of the people who helped him through his darkest time and bring him full circle picking him as one of the leaders on the Texans defense, demonstrating what it takes to play with emotion while maintaining discipline and perspective. This is a conversation about more than football—it's about faith, resilience, identity, adversity, and the relentless pursuit of becoming the person you're meant to be.

Is Linebacker Depth a PLUS?Ohio State may have more options at linebacker than expected — and that could become a major advantage for Matt Patricia's defense in 2026.In this episode of The Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr break down the Buckeyes' linebacker room and what Ryan Day had to say about the group's progress during fall camp. Peyton Pierce appears locked in as a centerpiece, while Christian Alliegro brings experience and versatility after arriving through the transfer portal.But the real intrigue may be behind them. T.J. Alford and Riley Pettijohn are both pushing for meaningful roles, Ohio State could use more three-linebacker looks this season, and Qua Russaw gives the defense another unique option as an edge-rushing weapon.So just how deep can this linebacker rotation go — and could that depth become one of the strengths of the defense?0:00 — Welcome to the Buckeye Weekly Podcast0:17 — Breaking down Ohio State's linebacker room0:41 — What Ryan Day said about the young linebackers1:03 — T.J.
