This was really good, thank you for doing this. The only thing I missed was a talk about the defensive side of the ball for both teams. BUT, don’t let that take away from how fun and insightful of a listen this was.

We interviewed Ashwin Ramnath. He helps run the site The Strickland and is a Bills super fan.
Not much Browns talk, but a good interview nonetheless.

Haven't listened yet, but that's the thing, you don't need to talk a ton of Browns b/c if your listeners always listen, they will end up hearing the same thing over-and-over again. I will give my 2 satoshis after I get to listen to it. I also have to hit the Bears one but haven't done that yet.

@Jordan - I a muddling through the Bears one and I must say, so far I do not enjoy it as much. Take that as a compliment to the Ravens guy.
Anyhow, I was thinking about some formatting ideas for ways that you could keep all of your bases covered and the Bears episode was the trigger. My FIL is a Bears fan and he says they are going to suck. Their line is swiss cheese and they lost their best corner in Fuller. They have DALTON as the starter and Fields will be brought along slowly, allegedly. They won a few games last year (the Detroit game comes to mind - Detroit had an end zone drop at the end of game) against bad teams, and that's all that I remember - them beating bad teams. BUT, what's the point? It's certainly not for me to debate the Bears with some fanboi, it's just exploring how you can go through each team in layers. A couple of ideas:
2. The Devil's Corner: This is just Devil's Advocate talk - in this case, I would always make it reasons for pessimism. It allows the guest to jump in and perhaps debate against the points or acknowledge the weaknesses.
1. Last Year Recap. This is where I would start with every team. A quick 50K foot overview of where they finished, using stats to say "offense was good and here was why" "defense was bad but injuries to X and Y caused it to fall, but there's optimism b/c when they came back the defense allowed (stat stat stat). Special Teams. Strength of Schedule. Major story lines.
3. Position Breakdown - once again - more stats. This would be for the upcoming year, talk about draft picks.
4. GM corner - talking about the salary cap now and into the future, potential opportunities and issues, who was cut/traded and why, where to allocate draft capital and salary cap.
Those are just some ideas that you could try out. It's nice to have tangents and let fans be fans but also nice to have some structure, as listeners develop expectations and this will cut down on the variability of hot/cold episodes.

If he actually thinks Dalton is the starter, he needs to ask this question every time a coach opens their mouth "Why would they tell us this?". Even if Dalton takes the first snap week 1 (unlikely), you have to pencil in Fields as the starter for the majority of this season. I'd be shocked if it went a different direction.
The interior of the line is the exact same (which is pretty good). They have a massive upgrade from Leno to Teven Jenkins, and a slight downgrade from losing Massie. Probably half of the NFL would take that line--he probably thinks the line sucks because of how the QB's behind that line have played in recent memory.
Losing Fuller is a big blow for sure.
I like all your suggestions and criticisms.

Yeah you are more plugged in than I am even though I live here. I agree Fields sees the field but idk about week 1... and even so, I'd expect some time to get acclimated.
When I look at their 2020 schedule, 8-8, they beat Detroit, NYG, ATL, Carolina, Houston, and JAX. At week 11 (bye week), their rushing was abysmal and that's when they switched back to Mitch.
I guess my point is, for formatting of the podcast, there's a story in there. I think most listeners are less casual than me and more casual than you, but some sort of context about it would be nice, and stats too! Like maybe Trubisky missed a bunch of open throws but his rushing threat opened up Montgomery. The thought about Fields having an even better chance to rush the ball AND being an incredibly accurate QB would make a lot of sense.
Anyway, love this podcast and getting people in there to discuss their teams. Now all we need to do is find the RBF equivalent for every team, then post the podcasts there for more listeners. Then you can run back game previews, Q & A's, and twitter takes for like, the pregame podcasts.
