Part 1 of this week's episode is the continuation of SZD's “Offseason Vibe Checks” series, checking in on the Pac-12 and the FBS independents. You may be thinking, “Nice, but that's probably going to be a really short episode, because there are just two Pac-12 teams and three independents at the moment.” Fear not! Part 2 is an interview with author Victoria Zeller, who joins Alex to discuss her new book One of the Boys and the deep research she did into the state of modern special teams development. #CollegeKickers are getting better despite lacking training at most high schools. How? Well, there's a story there.* In the Pac-12, Washington State had the kind of offseason that Oregon State had last year, and now the Cougars have to pick up the pieces* Among the FBS independents: UConn's doing well, UMass is at least trying something sensible as it prepares to move to the MAC this summer, and Notre Dame has lots of backfilling and an intriguing QB battle on the agenda* Victoria Zeller talks about “One of the Boys,” the privatization of special teams development, and much more.The book comes out May 13 and is available for preorder here: https://victoria.monster/#bookdriveLiked this show?

That was embarrassing. The Avs got Gabe Landeskog back after over 1,000 days out of the lineup, but couldn't muster the energy necessary to close this one out and get him a victory in his return. The powerplay goes 0/6 including multiple late game powerplays that completely fell flat, which made all of the difference. Game 4 has now become a crossroads where they can get back in this series before heading to Dallas, or for the second straight year lose it all on home ice.

We didn't have time to cover all the crucial updates on Monday night, so we're diving into exciting insights from the press conferences of our new coaching staff, including Special Teams Coordinator Mike Ekeler, Secondary Coach Addison Williams, and Defensive Line Coach Terry Bradden. Mike Ekeler, home run hire who is expected to make be an impactful addition to the staff, brings intensity and a philosophy of continuous improvement. He emphasizes, “Every single day as a human being, as a father, as a journalist, you're getting better or worse. We never stay the same... If you're built to be the best, then you're always looking to improve.” His commitment to excellence sets a powerful tone for Nebraska's special teams. Coach Bradden, with experience from little league to the NFL, underscores the importance of fundamentals and how we must never get bored with them. Meanwhile, Coach Addison is impressed with the Husker speed and the talent among emerging freshmen and walk-ons. We'll also discuss how these new hires fit into Matt Rhule's vision for Nebraska football and the pathways to success in the Big Ten. Don't miss this chance to engage with fellow fans, who we call “The Holgormaniacs” and stay updated on the exciting future of Husker football! ⚡️

Chris and Chris welcome former Patriots special teams coach Brad Seely. He remembers what it was like coaching Mike Vrabel and what sort of mentality he'll bring (on both defense and special teams). Seely also talks about why New England's special teams was so good for so long, the greatness of Matthew Slater, what it was like coaching under Bill Belichick, and more.
Building a roster at any level goes way beyond the 11 that line up on offense and defense. Special teams, forgotten about until the big play hits, is a pivotal factor as an NFL roster cuts down to 53, and as college rosters think about 105 and maneuvering in the transfer portal. So, how exactly is it all factored in? Neil and I are joined by fast rising coach and Special Teams Coordinator at Florida Atlantic University, Tyler Schovanec, to talk all things special teams. From his start as a QB and being the guy that could operate a computer to being prepared when the opportunity came (which some would call luck). Tyler talks us through his journey, his champions, his philosophy for special teams and so much more.
