Welcome to the athletic football show.

1:03.5

I'm Robert Mays, and I am thrilled to be bringing you guys the first edition of our Wednesday show during the season.

1:08.7

So before we get to our guests, which they're all amazing, and I'm really looking forward to it,

1:14.5

I want to kind of do some housekeeping about what the show is going to look like. So So each week we're going to have on a guest at the front of the show. It's kind of take a big picture look at the league. I think that the midweek kind of slate allows you to take a step back, get out of the rhythms of the schedule, kind of take a bird's eye view of what's going on. So we're going to try to do that every week with a fun guest and just, yeah,

1:10.9

take a real considered look at one specific topic. After that, we're going to have on one of the athletics many team writers each week to do a deep dive on a specific franchise. Today, that is Aaron Reese, my good friend Aaron Reese talking about the Texans. After that, we are going to have Ted Winn on to do a little bit of an explainer on some film that he watched that week. We're going to call it Film School with Tedwin. I love reading Ted. I learn stuff from Ted all the time. And I really wanted to bring that to you guys. But before we do any of that, I want to welcome our first guest.

You know, week one can be misleading in some ways, but, you know, there's always going to be a story and there's always going to be something to pay attention to with the level of quarterback playing what we're seeing from that position. And someone who knows a hell of a lot about that position is our next guest, Quincy Avery. Quincey, how should I, what's your title? Like, how should I introduce you? I don't know. I'd just be making up stuff. I'm a quarterback consultant. I guess we could leave it at that. You're a quarterback consultant. You work with a lot of guys currently in the league. You work with Deshaun Watson. You work with a lot of high-profile college players. You know the position and pay attention to the position in a way that few guys do. So I couldn't think of anybody I wanted to do this with other than you to do week one reactions to what happened in the quarterbacking world. So I don't want to get too, overreact too much to what happened in week one.

2:54.5

I think we can occasionally do that.
