On the cutdown episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matub, and special guest Tyler Brooke discuss who made the team, including the surprise cuts, the surprise non-cuts, and the positions where they likely need to go out and grab someone else’s cuts. Paul revels in victory after his consistent Samori Toure’ projections come to pass, Tyler laments the dismissal of a tight end from his high school program, and everyone speculates about who won’t clear waivers, and make the practice squad.

The crew also reveals their RAS scores, discusses the final preseason game, opines on Jordan Love’s continued inconsistency, and Tyler pretends to be JR. And of course, listener questions from Patreon, Twitter, and the APC discord.

On the true season premiere of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matub, and JR walk through the perceived Packer weak points, and why none of them are really that scary as we prepare to kick off the 2022 season. 

The receivers are inexperienced,but the front office went all in with draft capital and free agency, and even Amari Rodgers looks better. At edge depth, the team may a have surprise star in rookie JJ Engabare. And on the offensive line, the surprise return of David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins has turned a problem area into one of the deepest positions on the team thanks to the undersized for crazy athletic Zach Tom. 

While the preseason features almost entirely backups, those backups have largely impressed, from Quay Walker and Chris Slayton, to Rico Gafford and Shemar Jean-Charles, and depth may not be the issue it once was. Even Jordan Love finally put a good game on tape. The guys discuss all of these reasons for optimism, as well as what may still go wrong as Reporting as Eligible kicks off its fourth season!

As we kick off a brand new season of Reporting as Eligible, Paul discusses the rest of the NFC North with some data-savvy guest stars!

First Arif Hassan of The Athletic goes over what we can expect from the new regime in Minnesota, and whether the Vikings are ready to overtake the Packers behind Kevin O’Connell, and to a much lesser extent, Ed Donatell.

Then it’s on to the Lions with Kent Lee Platte, the creator of Relative Athletic Score and former Pride of Detroit contributor. The Lions’ rebuild has gone better than expected to this point, and they may already be able to make a little noise, but how much? Do the Lions have the best offensive line in the division? Is Jared Goff just a little too good for a rebuild? Can you get a decent quarterback outside of the top ten picks? All of these questions, and more will be answered. 

Finally, Lorin Cox of Locked on Bears give a prescient answer on the Roquan Smith question, praises the Bears’ downright rational offseason, all while maintaining a realistic vision of where the Bears are on the rebuilding tree. They discuss the already significant impact of former Packer QB coach Luke Getsy, whether Justin Fields will be there in 2023, and whether the defense can succeed with a talented secondary, but limited pass rush. 

It’s a very special episode, as Reporting as Eligible kicks off Season 4.
