Episode notes
Why He Started The Deep Shot
- Andy Behrens launched The Deep Shot to work only with close collaborators and focus on writing he enjoys.
- He paired with Dalton and Chris Harris to keep favored Yahoo-era work and drop what he disliked.
Quarterback Depth Shrunk Fast
- Quarterback depth faded quickly in early season, making mid-tier QBs suddenly unreliable.
- Behrens says the position went from extremely deep to a spot where you needed one of the top few QBs.
Draft To Create One Clear Edge
- When drafting late in round one, create an edge at any position, even QB or TE if needed.
- Behrens often took Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen to give his team that edge.
