This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show.

0:18.5

I'm Robert Mays.

0:19.7

Joining me today is my good friend Lindsay Jones.

0:22.0

How are you? I think we need to point out to everybody, Robert, but not only am I joining you today,

0:27.3

I am sitting just a couple feet away from you in person. A couple feet away from me at the new beautiful

0:34.5

dolphins facility just outside of Hard Rock Stadium. I want people to know that

0:38.6

this is a better setup than some of the other ones that we've had over the last couple of weeks

0:43.2

because we're inside, which is very nice. I want to thank the dolphins are giving us this space.

0:47.3

But it is raining so hard outside Miami right now that we can hear it on the roof. I'm wondering

0:53.2

if people are going to be able to hear it when they listen to this podcast. But that is Florida in early August. That's what you're getting. One of the features of this beautiful building is that it has a metal roof. And I was just over in a different part of the facility. And it is very loud. So if you do hear the rain, just pretend you're in Florida. It's remarkable. So here's what I want to lay out for everyone. I've been a bunch of different places, okay? I have been, since the last time we recorded, I visited the Bills, I visited the Jets, the Bucks, and today we were at the Dolphins. We are going to hit the Bucks on the next show, and I'm actually going to talk to Nate about Jets practice on the next show. So if you're looking for check-ins from those spots, that is coming, but it is coming a little bit later. Today, we're going to meet with Matt Fairburn, who is our Bills writer. He and I had a great conversation. We're going to play that for you guys a little bit

1:44.4

later. But we're going to be talking about the players that we feel have the most at stake in the

1:50.1

NFL this season. It's the start of training camp, pretty much the start of training camp.

1:53.7

I feel like it's a good time to remind people what is hanging in the balance for some of these guys.

2:00.7

Yeah, I think so. And in training camp,

2:02.9

especially, because this is a time where a lot of guys are either going to make the team. They're

2:06.5

not going to make the team. Most of the guys we're going to talk to talk about today are star players.

2:10.1

They're guys that you know, but they're guys that are coming into a contract year, a guys that are

2:14.5

potentially in a position battle or a guy that are really setting themselves

2:19.0

up for the future. And there's a couple big ones that we watched here today.

2:23.5

So I want to start, though, with a guy that would have been at the top of this list because

2:28.5

inevitably during this time of year, we're going to have to catch up on news. That's going to be
