We're going to do 15 minutes on week nine, trying to sort through it.

0:26.2

We're going to talk with Diltford about how receivers and quarterbacks handle each other.

0:32.0

And then a bunch of other great stuff that we're going to get to with him.

0:34.0

Little college football and life advice, including maybe a fake one, but it was entertaining.

0:39.1

Week nine, week nine. Good luck with this one. I'm going to focus a little on the AFC here.
