The Weird & Wild AFC South and Hold-In Drama | NFL Deep Dive

Chapter 7 of the Division Preview Series Octology delves deep into the AFC South, but the show starts with a look at the past week’s headlines as training camps got underway.

Jenny, Conor and Gary discuss Aaron Rodgers doing exactly what everyone thought he would do and not coming away with a whole lot to show for his effort. Also, a larger look at how the new CBA has turned holdouts into hold-ins, including a more specific look at the Xavien Howard trade demand in Miami.

As far as the AFC South goes, a lot of talk about whether the Colts can make it work offensively, the impact of Bud Dupree’s arrival and Arthur Smith’s departure on the Titans, just what should be expected out of the Jaguars considering Urban Meyer has an exciting quarterback and maybe not-so-exciting coaching staff, and the Texans figure to have an active punter.
