Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lots to Say: Super Bowl Champion Lavonte David and Garrett/Brown Traded!
Q: What was the hardest adjustment when Lavonte entered the NFL from college ball?
Lavonte emphasizes the speed, size, and physicality of NFL players, and details a rookie-year moment with an overpowering guard that forced him to adapt his body and technique to survive at the pro level.
Lots to Say: New Super Bowl City and PFF Draft Analyst Trevor Sikkema
Q: How far in advance do you start preparing for the draft, and how do you translate college tape into insights for NFL projection?
He explains that preparation starts well before the draft, with hundreds of preliminary reports by late August and summer scouting to understand growth trajectories. Tape is king, but analytics help highlight areas where a player's production and measurables align or diverge, guiding ongoing evaluation as players enter their final college seasons.
Lots to Say: New Super Bowl City and PFF Draft Analyst Trevor Sikkema
Q: Trevor, how does your offseason evaluation process work, and what mix of analytics and film do you rely on?
Trevor describes a disciplined, year-round process: initial scouting on 40-50 players with full profiles, building a personal database, and then layering film review with analytics such as pass and run metrics, contested catches, separation, and quarterback accuracy, to form preliminary scouting reports before college seasons begin.
Lots to Say: Ravens/Steelers moves and Pro Bowl WR Jeremy Maclin
Q: Let me start with this. Do you remember your call? Who called you and what did they say on draft day?
Howie Roseman and Joe Banner/Coach Reid were among the first to reach out in sequence; the call signaled that the Eagles were interested, and the moment changed the trajectory of Maclin's career.
Lots to Say: The Masters, Dean Blandino, and NFL Draft Prep!
Q: Dean, for those people who are listening and really maybe not understanding everything going on between the NFL and the NFL refs right now, can you give us a broader landscape of what's going on and what the controversy is about?
Dean Blandino outlines that the NFL Referees Association is negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement, with key issues around pay, game fees, access, and retirement; he compares it to past replacement-ref eras and explains the complexity of preparing replacement officials from college levels and the role of expanded replay as a backstop if replacements are used.
