Today's podcast is a really good one.

0:12.9

Go over to Reenus, just telling stories, all-time openness on this podcast.

0:19.6

And with the quarterback movement, the latest ones, we'll talk about that with Shio Kupati,

0:23.6

what to expect, but also kind of looking at handicapping the depth in the AFC versus the

0:27.7
