Summary
Dan Hanzus & Marc Sessler are joined by Conor Orr to recap the second week of NFL Preseason action by covering the things that actually MATTERED with a heavy emphasis on not overreacting. Is Caleb Williams starting to "get it" under Ben Johnson's tutelage? Should we be concerned for the Bills? The Browns have named Joe Flacco their starting quarterback for Week 1, but where does that leave Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders? Are the New York Football Giants going to surprise people this season with their ferocious front four? And what about the Raiders offense with rookie of the year favorite Ashton Jeanty? Finally, we cover the Seahawks dominant rushing effort and boots-on-the-ground reporting from JerryWorld. We wrap the show discussing injuries of note, including Matthew Stafford's return to Rams practice on Monday.
