Summary
Aaron Rodgers says he thought he was done in Pittsburgh once Mike Tomlin left — then McCarthy got hired and
here we are. One last rodeo. Ryan's genuinely entertained.
The Browns quarterback situation is objectively hilarious. Deshaun Watson is operating as the starter. Dylan
Gabriel is second in line. Shedeur Sanders — the guy most people assumed would start — is third. Dylan
Gabriel, by the way, had the NFL's lowest EPA per dropback in 2025. Just ahead of Shedeur Sanders.
Then: a deep dive into Tucker Kraft, sparked by a Hayden Hicks chart showing Kraft with the second-highest
yards per target in football. Bears fans lost their minds. Ryan lost his patience. He pulled every stat he
could find — 4.16 yards per route run in man coverage (nearly double second place), 158.3 passer rating when
targeted in man coverage, 17 targets, 14 catches, 241 yards, four TDs. The guy who supposedly "can't beat
man coverage" is the best man-coverage tight end in the NFL. Ryan would like Bears fans to bring receipts
next time.
Also: Marlon Jones full profile (cancer survivor, Eastern Washington to Vanderbilt, UDFA), Eagles locker
room chaos, and the case for staying off social media and just putting it on the podcast instead.save
