Adam Tzikas (@AdamTz) and Tom Kislingbury (@TomDegenerate) delve into the hot topic of the IDP world - True Position.

The boys delve into what it means, what it changes, who it benefits, who it hurts and how your league will change.

Seriously. Sigmund Bloom came on the show. Adam Tzikas (@AdamTz) and Tom Kislingbury (@TomDegenerate) are on hand as always but really this was about Sig giving us his thoughts about IDP, modern defense, the underlying theme of fantasy football, how people think and what we want and just a ton more stuff. It’s utterly captivating stuff and the hosts spent the whole time just listening and soaking in the knowledge. After the last two episodes this one is much lighter on players to take at what draft spot - but also far, far more full of interesting thoughts about the sport and hobby we all love.

Adam Tzikas (@AdamTz) and Tom Kislingbury (@TomDegenerate) prop open their eyes with matchsticks after an intense three days of late nights, draft shocks and number crunching. The biggest issue at this time of year [and this week in particular] is understanding where defensive players are going to be taken compared to offensive ones. This show will give you a framework for when they should be coming off the board - as well as when your leaguemates are actually going to take them. This is one of your big moments to outthink your leaguemates - make it count.

Tom Kislingbury (@TomDegenerate) and Sticky (@adamtz) are back on a weekly schedule. This week they go back to last offseason and draft IDP rookie prospects with hindsight well and truly established. In what order do they pick through this phenomenal LB class? One of the bigger questions in the offseason for IDPs is how potential stacks up against current production. That gets well and truly discussed here. The boys draft 15 defensive players but also touch on just about every relevant 2018 rookie.

After a week off Tom Kislingbury (@TomDegenerate) returns to subject Adam Tzikas (@AdamTz) to his appalling accent.

They cover the NFC South in their final divisional preview this week. - Are the Falcons really a Super Bowl contender in talent terms? - How is this Panthers secondary going to work out? - Were the Saints really just a pass rusher away from an elite defense? - Have the Buccaneers fixed their insipid pass rush?

How will a Titans defense that blends Dean Pees and Mike Vrabel’s philosophies look?

Tom Kislingbury (@TomDegenerate) and Adam Tzikas (@AdamTz) take a look at the AFC North. They discuss their mutual antipathy for one team for very different reasons. Will Myles Garrett ascend to elite DE status? Will Ryan Shazier ever play again? Which lineman is the best in the NFL at batting down passes? How will the Steelers fit Terrell Edmunds into their secondary? How do the Ravens safeties fit together? Which young pass rusher has an identical athletic profile to Khalil Mack?
