Update: 2025-11-13
Description
• Opening banter / birthdays / calendars
(00:13 ) Light back-and-forth on missed birthdays, daylight-savings gripes, and Ireland closing early.
MAJOR NON-GAME TOPICS
• Giants fire Brian Daboll + “next coach” odds
(04:00 ) They roast oddsmakers' list: Todd Monken as the favorite, confusion about Ben Johnson being listed despite already having a HC job, plus Joe Brady, Mike McDaniel, Raheem Morris, Jim Harbaugh, Bill Belichick, etc.
• Jackson Dart discussion
(06:11 ) Dart's toughness, upside, OL concerns, and whether his physical wear will affect development.
• Bo Nix regression & evaluation
(10:07 ) Why his tape isn't matching expectations, concerns about intermediate accuracy, and whether he settles into the QB20-35 tier.
• Eagles offensive dysfunction / AJ Brown frustration
(12:40 ) Play-calling issues under Kevin Petula, lack of targets for AJ Brown, OL injuries, lack of rhythm, Sirianni needing to self-correct.
• Jaire Alexander stepping away
(19:49 ) Concerns about mental health around the league and frustration that the trade happened right before this development.
