Big Sal is FIRED UP, and it's your fault, Pack Nation. Call Javon Hargrave washed one more time and watch what happens. Sal put the coffee down, dug out the tape, and he's here to explain why three and a half sacks is a receipt, not a verdict — and why the people waving that number around got played by their own eyeballs. Here's what Sal drives home:

Spain vs. Argentina at MetLife. Messi vs. the country that raised him. Conor McGregor's knee gives out in the opening sequence after a five-year wait. ESPN and PFF drop QB rankings so questionable that Kelcey literally brought a sign to the show.    There's a lot going on this week. Pull up a chair. DJ and Kelcey have it all covered on this episode of the High Low Sports Podcast.  

Robert Saleh built this 49ers defense. He knows what a pass rusher looks like before the rest of us do. And at the American Century Championship, he went on record with a name nobody expected — Alfred Collins. Not Mykel Williams. Not CJ West. The second-round pick who finished his rookie year with a 35.0 PFF grade and the lowest marks on the entire defense. Saleh called him the biggest surprise of the draft class and said flat out — "When it triggers for him, he's going to be a bear to stop." We're going LIVE to figure out what Saleh saw that the box score didn't. Because if he's right, and Collins takes the leap Year 2 alongside Odighizuwa and a healthy Mykel Williams, this defensive line goes from the biggest question mark on the roster to one of its most dangerous weapons. Drop your takes in the chat.

The Detroit Lions defense in 2025 was not bad, it was untimely. They ranked 22nd in scoring defense but finished 17th in yards allowed per game and ninth on third downs, and Pro Football Focus graded them as a top-five defense overall. The real issue was explosive plays and situational lapses at key moments. Was the Detroit Lions defense actually bad in 2025? No. The unit performed better than its reputation. As Jeff Risdon noted, the Lions were 22nd in points allowed, 17th in yards per game at 332.8, and middle of the pack at 5.4 yards per play. Crucially, they allowed a 36.9 percent third-down conversion rate, which ranked ninth, while the offense converted 38.8 percent, 19th. That disconnect fuels the perception. The defense was on the field in tough spots and failed at the worst times, which is different from being bad snap-to-snap. Which numbers explain the gap between strong grades and points allowed? Excellent. PFF's cumulative defensive grade for Detroit was 81.8, fifth overall, with a 78.5 run defense grade that ranked fourth. Tackling graded at 74.9, second behind the Green Bay Packers. The pass rush ranked fifth, and pressure rate ranked fourth, with help from Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson. Coverage graded 74.1, tenth. Raw team data backs several strengths: Detroit allowed the sixth-lowest completion rate at 61.6 percent, averaged 7.3 yards per pass allowed which ranked 23rd, and posted an 8.11 percent sack rate, eighth. Special teams graded sixth. The defense simply surrendered too many explosive plays and got burned by short fields when the offense failed on third and fourth downs. Those two factors drove points more than down-to-down quality. What must change in 2026 to turn solid metrics into stops? Cut the explosives and win the pivotal snaps. That means finishing drives with takeaways or stops on third and manageable, and protecting field position instead of gifting short fields. As Jeff Risdon theorized, using more zone coverage and replacing some base 4-3 snaps with extra defensive backs or an additional lineman instead of a linebacker can specifically help in coverage. He also noted using the punter a little more in marginal situations to avoid feeding opponents favorable field position. Turnovers and situational management Risdon's Houston analogy underscores it: clean up turnover differential and third-down execution and a defense that already grades well turns those metrics into points prevented. Do the Lions have the personnel to fix it? Yes. Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson closed strong after a slump and remains the headliner up front. Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell delivered impact against the run, and the interior pairing of Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill and Detroit Lions defensive tackle Tyleik Williams should be a strong one-two punch. Depth has improved in the secondary, though, as Jeff Risdon cautioned, safety Brian Branch and safety Kerby Joseph entering the start of the year is not optimal. Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone's role can flex within sub-packages to prioritize coverage matchups. Bottom line, as Risdon put it, the defense was unfortunate and untimely in 2025, and those are correctable issues. He's over the 10.5 win total. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #lionsdefense #nflstatistics #pff #pffranking #pffgrades #aidanhutchinson #jackcampbell #alimmcneill #tyleikwilliams #brianbranch #kirbyjoseph #alexanzalone #profootballfocus #losangelesrams #seattleseahawks #greenbaypackers #passrush Learn more about your ad choices.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross-talking with Aniello and Jake. The guys discuss the NFL top 100 list and where Bo Nix will come in on the list, if at all. Does Nix deserve to be top 30 after out-dueling Josh Allen? Zach and Phil react to Courtland Sutton coming in at number 68 on the NFL's top 100 list. Is Sutton finally getting his flowers for his consistency over his career? Are we sure Sutton will take a backseat to Jaylen Waddle? Is Sutton disrespected within Denver? Is Waddle getting too much love for being the "new guy in town"? What are the chances Sutton finishes the year with more yards than Waddle? We debate if we are too close to the Broncos to give a fair assessment of Bo Nix? Why is Nix so far down on ESPN's scouts, coaches, and executives poll as well as PFF's rankings of NFL quarterbacks? 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on Peyton Watson. We react to The Athletic giving the Nuggets the worst offseason grade in the NBA, a D-. What teams have the cap space to offer Watson a big-time contract? Could we see the Nuggets entertain a sign-and-trade for Watson? Do the Nuggets have their sights set on getting under the luxury tax for the upcoming season? We react to Courtland Sutton coming in at number 68 on the NFL's top 100 list. With all the criticism within Denver, is Sutton disrespected within his own town? Is Waddle getting too much love for being the "new guy in town"? Are we sure Sutton will take a backseat to Jaylen Waddle? Will Sutton end up in the Broncos Ring of Fame at the end of his career? We debate if we are too close to the Broncos to give a fair assessment of Bo Nix? Why is Nix so far down on ESPN's scouts, coaches, and executives poll as well as PFF's rankings of NFL quarterbacks?

Guest: Clive Woodward Estcourt NZ391045, Pilot, Bomb Aimer (14th of October 1917 – 17th of Aug 2017 ) Host: Dave Homewood Recorded: ‎13th of August 2013 Released: 9th of August 2026 Duration: 2 hour 33 minutes 11 seconds Clive Estcourt had been a commercial artist and signwriter in Hamilton in 1939 when the war broke out, and he immediately volunteered to join the Royal New Zealand Air Force. He was sent to the newly-opened RNZAF Station Ohakea in the Manawatu region, and became one of the very first airmen posted into that base after it opened on the 18th of September 1939. He thought when he first joined that he was going to fly aeroplanes…. they made him the station postman! He soon was sidelined to become Ohakea’s station signwriter. He was able to set up his own workshop to make all the signs on the ever-expanding station. But he was still wanting to become a pilot however, and eventually in 1942 he managed to convince the RNZAF to post him to an aircrew course, starting at RNZAF Station Rotorua for his Initial Training Wing course. He then underwent flying training on Tiger Moths at No. 3 Elementary Flying Training School, at RNZAF Station Harewood. He was then sent to Canada to continue his training in October 1942, where he continued training at RCAF Dunnville flying Harvards. But this training did not go well, and he ended up getting getting the chop from the course. Clive was remustered to Observer trade, and completed his training in Canada, before being sent to Britain where he crewed up at No. 11 Operational Training Unit, Westcott. Clive suffered a severe mishap at the OTU and was forced to bail out, which he details, and was forced to do the course again. He was then posted to No. 75 (NZ) Squadron with his almost all-New Zealand crew, consisting of: Captain – Pilot Officer John Rees “Aussie” Layton DFC, RNZAF (NZ425914) Navigator – Flight Sergeant John Christie, RNZAF (NZ4212829), aka Jack, aka BenAir Bomber – Warrant Officer Clive Woodward Estcourt, RNZAF (NZ391045)Wireless Operator/Air Gunner – Flight Sergeant Ta Tio Tuaine “Tai” Nicholas, RNZAF (NZ425658) Mid-Upper Gunner – Flight Sergeant David Onslow Light, RNZAF (NZ4212848)Rear Gunner – Flight Sergeant Leslie Dixon Moore, RNZAF (NZ421327)Flight Engineer – Sergeant F. Samuel, RAFVR After one and a half months at RAF Mepal with the New Zealand squadron, Clive and his crew were selected to be posted from No. 75 (NZ) Squadron to No. 7 Squadron Pathfinder Force at RAF Oakington. They were on Pathfinder operations from October 1944 through till February 1945. During the tour with No. 7 Squadron PFF, the Navigator John Christie was badly injured in a motorcycle accident and he was replaced by:Navigator – Sergeant. Lloyd Edward Anger, RCAF (R200903) However, due to a non-operational error by the captain when he failed to turn up for a briefing, the strict command chain in PFF saw the crew sent back to No. 75 (NZ) Squadron without completing the PFF tour. This included Lloyd Anger who stayed with the crew. They carried on with the New Zealand squadron through February and March 1945 till the original members of the crew were tour expired. Clive completed 36 operational sorties over enemy territory in total, plus several other OTU flights close to enemy territory as well where they were creating a diversion to confuse German defences. Once he completed operational flying he became an instructor at No. 17 Operational Training Unit at Silverstone and Turweston. Postwar, Clive returned to New Zealand and was a member of a Light Anti-Aircraft unit in the Territorial Air Force in Auckland, before becoming the Adjutant of No. 7 Squadron Air Training Corps in Hamilton for 17 years. He was very active in the RNZAF Association, and as a special associate member of the Mess at RNZAF Te Rapa, Hamilton, till its closure. Clive was one of the New Zealand Bomber Command veterans who was selected to be flown to London for the unveiling of the Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park, on the 28th of June 2012. He was the oldest veteran in the New Zealand party, aged 95. Clive passed away on the 17th of Aug 2017, two months before his 100th birthday.

Seth and Luke assess if PFF's ranking of DeMeco Ryans as the 7th best NFL Head Coach is too high, too low, or about right.

Seth and Luke dive into the details of the wild Terrion Arnold AirBnB robbery revenge story, Brandon Aiyuk keeping running his mouth on social media, if there will be a market for teams bringing either of these guys in, and assess PFF's ranking DeMeco as the 7th best Head Coach in the NFL.

Luke Mauro is in for Sean. Seth and Luke discuss the Astros' 6-3 win over the Nationals, how they're feeling about the pitching rotation with guys coming back and Burrows being sent down, the Texans' defense getting shown some national love, go through the day's Headlines, dive into the details of the wild Terrion Arnold AirBnB robbery revenge story, Brandon Aiyuk keeping running his mouth on social media, if there will be a market for teams bringing either of these guys in, assess PFF's ranking DeMeco as the 7th best Head Coach in the NFL, discuss if the World Cup games in the US helps soccer or the NFL more, assess the notion that the Texans have a top 6-10 WR room in the NFL, talk about Amen Thompson apparently being an untouchable asset on the Rockets, assess Kevin Clark's notion on ESPN that CJ Stroud is the biggest X-factor in the NFL this coming season, what NFL.com says is the ceiling and floor for the Texans, react to the incredible call of Messi's game winner from Telemundo, and see what Reggie and B-Scott have coming up on In the Loop.

A third-round pick out of Western Kentucky. Selected 77th overall. Not exactly a household name. But ESPN and PFF both just named Upton Stout as the San Francisco 49ers' breakout candidate for 2026 — and when you watch what he did as a rookie, it's not hard to see why. Stout stepped in immediately as the 49ers' primary nickel cornerback as a rookie, held his own on a defense that was young and banged up all season, showed the football IQ to avoid making the same mistakes twice, and earned enough trust to start in the playoffs. PFF called him a gem. ESPN called him a breakout waiting to happen. 

Ryan breaks down PFF's new 2025 quarterback annual, revealing Jordan Love's elite rankings in overall grade, EPA, and rhythm throws. Key discussion points: - Jordan Love ranked 4th overall and 3rd in passing grade by PFF - Career EPA per dropback ranks 9th since 2006, nearly double the NFL average - Number one in the NFL for throws under 2.5 seconds; strong in blitz and single-high coverage - Red zone performance at 17th is the main area needing improvement Subscribe and leave a review to support the show.

Big Sal is fired up this morning after staring at one number that has him out of his chair. While the entire football world obsesses over Caleb Williams taking a leap and Minnesota's spinning quarterback carousel, nobody is saying what needs to be said out loud: Have we even seen the best of Jordan Love yet? The cold, unsentimental tape from Pro Football Focus doesn't lie, and it tells the story of a quarterback who already made a definitive leap while riding a broken-down sled through a Wisconsin ditch. Jordan Love finished with an 88.7 PFF passing grade, good for third among all qualified NFL quarterbacks, with PFF themselves calling it a "definitive leap" The Packers started a league-high 27 different offensive players, with their most common offensive line combination playing together just 17.6% of snaps — dead last in football Key weapons disappeared for huge stretches: Jayden Reed played only seven games, Christian Watson missed the first six, and Tucker Kraft (leading all tight ends at 15.3 yards per catch) tore his ACL after eight games Despite the carnage, Love threw 27 touchdowns to just six interceptions, posted a passer rating over 100, and advanced metrics said this team had a top-three floor if they had simply stayed healthy This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Big Sal is fired up about PFF sticking Matt LaFleur in their "worth monitoring" hot seat category for 2026, right next to the Chiefs' 16 playoff wins. He questions whether the regular season winner / January loser pattern is real or just fog from a tiny 9-game sample, defends LaFleur's 76-41 record and elite offense, but admits the blown leads and injury fragility are worth watching. The rant lands in the boring middle: LaFleur is a heck of a coach with one specific unsolved January problem. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another unfiltered night on Packernet After Dark. Fans are fired up as one caller drops a controversial bomb: the Packers themselves are partly responsible for all the Caleb Williams hype after that playoff choke and onside kick disaster. Ryan doesn't hold back, calling out the "luckiest streak in the world" and demanding the Packers embarrass Chicago early to shut it down for good. Plus, backup QB debates, tight end contract talk, and classic After Dark banter. Key Discussion Points Caleb Williams & Bears Talk: Garrett from Southern Illinois argues the Packers' collapse gave Chicago momentum they never had against Favre or Rodgers — Ryan fires back that it was a choking dog-crap Packers team that still dominated most of the game. Backup Quarterback Reality Check: A caller pushes for more discussion on Drones and McCord; Ryan explains why Tarod Taylor is locked in as the clear #2 with the others as developmental/practice squad guys until proven otherwise. Tight End Market & Kraft Extension: Bruce breaks down the new tight end deals (Pitts money) and what it means for Tucker Kraft in a heavy 12-personnel offense. Other Fan Calls: Non-padded practice value, Ben Johnson hot dog jokes, Micah Parsons injury timing, PFF grading quirks, and roasting NFL offseason "losers" lists that include the Packers.
