Welcome to Locked on NFL, your daily podcast on the National Football League,

on the number one daily sports podcast network

Brian Peacock with Matt Williamson here on this Wednesday.

We're going to get back into the defensive side of the ball.

We talked about some of the rankings from ESPN that were ranking units, entire position

groups, team by team, one through 32 in the NFL.

We did offense yesterday.

Today we will get into the defensive side of the ball mat.

And then I believe at the end they have a full list of...

The composite grade, yeah.

Right, yeah.

Of the entire.

And I think that one will be the best where we can kind of argue about it a little bit

because I didn't have a ton to argue with just some minor quibbles,

but you had a few minor quibbles up. I'm interested to see how it goes here with the composite

rankings at the very end of entire teams. But defensive units on today's show, a little bit of

news to get into first. This is an interesting one, and obviously nothing came of it,

but according to the New York Post, ESPN approached Rams head coach Sean McVeigh about leaving

coaching altogether and joining the Monday night football broadcast team. Interesting. And this news comes out with hard knocks, you know, opening last night. I watched it.

My son loves it. I mean, I'm into it, but obviously there's some McVeigh stuff there, you know,

behind the scenes. They show him in his pool with his dog. And even before that footage, though,

first off, he'd be an awesome get because he's very energetic.
