The Big Bad Blocker Boys.

Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL podcast presented by Truest.

My name is Dan Hansusis I come to you from a

room filled of heroes Mark Sessler Greg Rosenthal and Patrick Claibon what is up boys

Super Bowl week super bowl week this is the week where we take what we normally do and we just try harder.

You thought we were trying hard before? Now we're trying harder.

All right. And on the subject of trying harder, we all wish West was with us right now.

And we've talked about this over the course of the season. He brings in the haydan off the top.

Until Wes is back, somebody else has to step up. This is a leadership move. And Patrick, you're a frequent guest, but I don't expect you to be that guy. It's got to come from Gregor Markle. Wait, hold on. It's usually me, but when we have a guest, I kind of let's see if they want to jump in.

It is.

It feels, it feels odd.

It feels difficult to jump in. It is.

It feels, it feels odd.

It feels difficult to do it as the guest in this point.

And so I was just, as you said, Dan, I was going to leave it up to this. Claibon's not a guest, though. At this point, Claibon's not a guest. He's, you know, he's an honorary hero, but at the same time, he can't be expected.

He can't be expected.

I mean, I just know that if you're one of these people on NFL.com who logged on to like a gigantic motherboard computer in your house to watch this, you're thinking this show is off to a roaring, roaring start here.

I do think about that sometimes because I don't know how many podcasts you guys listen to,

but I do find myself fast forwarding like the first three or four minutes of a lot of podcasts
