In this episode, we discussed the recent bylaw approval allowing teams to dress a third "emergency" quarterback on game days. This rule change comes as a reaction to the previous year's NFC Championship game, where the San Francisco 49ers ran out of quarterbacks due to injuries. We analyze the implications of this new rule and its potential impact on game strategies. Another significant rule change we explore is the adoption of the fair catch touchback rule, which now applies to any fair catch fielded before the 25-yard line. This change aligns the NFL with college football rules, and we examine how it could affect field position and game dynamics. Anthony Richardson at the rookie orientation, stayed behind after dinner to help clean up and we also discussed Richardson's dedication to developing chemistry with fellow rookie wide receiver Josh Downs, as they spent time running routes and working on their timing before rookie mini-camp. We delve into the news that Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis has reached an agreement with Tom Brady to join the organization's ownership group. We speculate on the potential impact of this addition and how it could shape the Raiders' future. The episode takes a moment to pay tribute to the legendary NFL and college football player Jim Brown, who recently passed away at the age of 87. We honor his remarkable impact both on and off the field. Ian Rappaport of NFL Network recently reported Niners QB Brock Purdy can begin throwing next week after recovering from his surgery. We discuss this news and what it could mean for the 49ers quarterback situation going into this season. We respond to Bucky Brooks' article on confidence rankings for nine quarterbacks in their make-or-break year. We analyze Brooks' assessments and offer our own insights on the quarterbacks in question. Addressing a potential issue, we discuss the shortage of referees in the NFL for the upcoming season. We examine the implications of this shortage and its potential impact on the game's integrity. We explore Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams' desire to become the highest-paid player in his position in the NFL. We discuss the factors involved in determining player salaries and the challenges Williams might face in achieving his goal. Lastly, we wrap up the episode by providing NFL draft grades for the AFC West, evaluating the picks made by teams in the division. The episode encourages listeners to tune in to discover which teams performed well and which ones missed the mark.
