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

podcast network. Brian Peacock here with the scout, Matt Williamson. We have a lot to get into

today. It is a Twitter Thursday. So happy Thursday to everybody, and thanks for everybody who

got involved with Twitter Thursday. We have a ton of questions to get to. We will get to those.

it is covid aside nobody would really bat an eye if we said we're only having two

preseason games this year. So I guess that's a very glass half full way of looking at it.

But cases are seemingly spiking all over the country. I know they are in the county I live in,

Florida and the beach areas. So I'm a little more worried than I was. Absolutely.

The beach seems to be one of the big ones. My wife and I were planning, maybe let's go to San

Francisco, go to the beach. And, you know, because you can get away from people. And the beach

seems to be one of the big ones where people think they're away, but they're kind of not.
