Hour 3: Brad Spielberger of Pro Football Focus joined the show. Brad believes Joey Porter Jr. has earned a spot in the starting lineup. Dan Moore Jr. has a 29 PFF grade and is near the bottom for tackles. Broderick Jones has earned a spot. He doesn't know why young players are not taking over for older players when the experienced guys are not playing well. Is there a lot of good defense being played in the NFL or bad offense? Teams are not letting offenses hit explosive plays and need to methodically move the ball down the field in 10 plays. Defenses are playing with two high safeties. In the division, Brad ranks Baltimore first, Cincinnati second, and the Steelers plus Cleveland tied for third in the AFC North at the moment. He thinks Matthew Stafford should be in the MVP conversation. The Ravens had seven drops against the Steelers, the third worst for Pro Football Focus since 2017. Taylor Swift has been good for the NFL and attracting new fans. Crowley said it's time for Desmond King to play slot corner. Dorin had no cousins? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Crosby, Malkin, and Letang now have another pier on the ice in Erik Karlsson as another good piece. Karlsson is a big threat on the power play. Malkin leads the league in points. The Penguins have a sense of urgency compared to last season and there is a significant point of emphasis. Malkin has been great with Reilly Smith and fun to watch. Tyler will be joining the show every Tuesday. 93.7 The Fan's Chris Mack joins the show. Alex Nedeljkovic at backup goalie can help the Penguins win the extra game or two necessary when playoff talk rolls around. Chris discussed what he learned on the Oh Mama podcast.
