| 0:00.0 | Lots and lots of drama surrounding the commanders. You've got these national reports that there's meddling going on in the front office. |
| 0:05.9 | We'll see just how true all that stuff is. But all of a sudden, there's a new name in the offensive coordinator candidate pool that has folks excited. |

| 0:24.9 | I'm J.P. Finley. He's Mitch Tishler. Here's what happens in the world of the NFL is you record an entire podcast, you record an entire TV show, and then news breaks, and you have to adjust. |
