This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Joining me today, my good friends, Lindsay Jones and Nate Tights. Lindsay, how are you doing over there? How's the puppy treating you? Getting enough sleep over there? How are you? I'm absolutely not getting enough sleep, but she is freaking adorable and really fun. Nelly is doing great. But yeah, she likes to wake up as soon as the sun is up, which here in Denver is about 515, maybe 5.30 if I'm lucky. So, yeah, not the best. Molly and I have an understanding with each other that if I feed her at six, she goes back to sleep for an hour, which is really nice. I'm glad that we've reached that common ground. Nate, how are you? How's Midge? How's life?

Mitch is good. Midge, Midge had a traumatizing morning with the, uh, somebody in our backyard. And then I got to run around like Fred Flintstone on our slick floor. So that was a pretty, uh, pretty interesting morning for Midge. I'm excited to get to take triumvirate back here with us three coming back.

And maybe it's not a draft, but maybe it's something else that we can talk about. So the stakes are a little bit lower. We're going to talk about coaches today. And I didn't want to do another draft. I didn't want to do another ranking just because it felt like we've done that. We didn't want to go back to that well too often. So what we're going to do today is kind of coach superlatives. Not a ranking, but a few different categories, almost as a check-in about the league and the coaches and the landscape as it stands right now. We're going to talk about the best coaches, some coaches that we think might be on the hot seat, some of them were underrated, under-talked-about position coaches, coordinators, all of that kind of stuff. Before we do that, though, obviously some huge news happened yesterday.

Nate, you and I talked about Julio on Friday's show. I knew we would talk about him today,

so that's why I didn't feel like we needed to scramble the Jets yesterday.

A team that we thought might trade for him, a team that in our minds made sense to

trade for him.

The Tennessee Titans trade a second round pick and some change for Julio Jones.

They take on all of his salary, which was one of the considerations that we talked about

when it came to who might deal for him, who could, what teams would have to create some room,

which the Titans are going to have to.

Lindsay, we haven't talked to you at all about this.

What were your reactions to the Julio Jones trade?

And what do you think this means for Tennessee?

Yeah, I mean, I think it made a lot of sense just in terms of a landing spot for a team that

really could use him.

When I think about what that Tennessee offense could look like,

just like physically look like and what they could be in their best form,

it's really terrifying, right?
