  • Best football podcast

    Honestly Marcus (TFG) is the person who has increased my knowledge of football the most over the last few years. He really dives into each team, each topic and each game with extensive knowledge of football from not only an Xs and Os perspective but also on the buisness side involving roster construction and cap management. If you want to get better at arguing with your friends about why some players are overhyped or others are underrated this is the place for you.

  • High quality, insightful NFL pod

    Marcus is very smart and insightful when it comes to the NFL. While I might not agree with all of his takes, I love to tune in every week and hear what he has to say. His content is consistently high quality.

    He has a great madden roster available that I love to use for my rebuilds. Also check out his madden content on TFG Plays YouTube channel. It’s interesting to see the ruleset he has in place to make the game more realistic.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Deep Dive Into The 2026 New England Patriots (Ft. Aaron Schatz)
Q: What tools or players are you most excited about around Drake May to offset potential regression?
The discussion centers on AJ Brown and Romeo Dobbs as high-impact weapons, plus an upgraded offensive line and coaching staff that could help May maintain high-level play.
A Deep Dive Into The 2026 New England Patriots (Ft. Aaron Schatz)
Q: What makes DVOA distinct and how is it calculated in practice?
Schatz explains that DVOA uses down-and-distance context to rate each play against a league-average baseline, adjusted for situation and opponent, and that special teams performance is added separately; the goal is a predictive, platonic measure of a team's overall quality.
A Deep Dive Into The 2026 Green Bay Packers (Ft. Mike Renner)
Q: Where would you rank Jordan Love right now and what would you need to see to improve?
Renner places Love around 10th in the NFL at quarterback with a ceiling potentially higher; he stresses improved consistency, more playmaking with his legs, and better supporting cast to unlock top-tier potential.
A Deep Dive Into The 2026 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Ft. Josh Queipo)
Q: What is the outlook for Emeka Igbuka and the weapon group surrounding him?
Igbuka showed high upside early in the season but cooled in the second half; the Bucks plan to diversify targets with Godwin, McMillan, and Ted Hurst, plus depth options, to create a more balanced and explosive group if the other receivers prove themselves and the quarterback's health stabilizes.
A Deep Dive Into The 2026 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Ft. Josh Queipo)
Q: What was Baker Mayfield playing through last year and how did it impact his performance?
Mayfield battled multiple injuries, including a knee bone bruise, strained knee ligaments, an AC joint in the shoulder, and a biceps contusion; these issues limited his throwing power, affected pocket integrity, and contributed to the late-season decline, though continuity and health could improve in 2026.
