(0:00)  Welcome, let's talk rookie non-QBs

(3:30)  Marvin Harrison Jr: “Preseason snaps won’t do guys like this justice”

(6:00)  Malik Nabers: “Mr. Do Everything. He plays through contact really well”

(8:40)  Rome Odunze: “Smoooooth. And he’s shown more explosiveness than expected.”

(11:30) Keon Coleman: “Maybe more than anyone, his skills will be more evident once the regular season starts and he gets his starting QB in there”

(16:00) We know about the speed, but how is Xavier Worthy’s route running?

(18:00)  DraftKings: Could Brian Thomas Jr lead all rookies in receiving yards? “Out of all the WRs, he looks the fastest and most explosive”

(23:45)  Joe Alt: “He looks like he’s been playing in the NFL for 3 years. His guy rarely makes the tackle, although he doesn’t blow people off the ball’

(26:20)  How has JC Latham looked under the tutelage of Bill Callahan?

(28:50)  Olu Fashanu: “Impressed with the progress. It was all better than what I saw at Penn State”

(31:30)  Troy Fautanu: “He’s the best athlete out of any of these o-linemen”

(34:50)  Most pleasant surprise on the o-line: Amarius Mims. “In the pass game, he is immovable”

(40:30)  Nate Wiggins: “He’s looked the best out of any CB”

(44:00)  Terrion Arnold: “Interesting that they have him playing outside. Would’ve thought he had more value at nickel

(45:15)  The Big Butts get their love

(7:30) Wow-O-Meter

(8:30) Caleb Williams: “If that’s not the closest thing to Mahomes, then I don’t know what is”

(16:30) Jayden Daniels: “The Commanders have to be pumped about what they’ve got”

(21:00) Drake Maye: “For the second week in a row, he showed he’s not ready. He’s reluctant to throw the ball right now.”

(27:45) Bo Nix: “There’s not as much Wow as Caleb. But this is like Drew Brees Jr.”

(30:45) DraftKings: Most Pass Yards by Rookie

(32:50) Daniel Jones: “He gave the WFAN crowd ammo to say WTF”

(37:00) Russell Wilson vs Justin Fields: “They’re gonna need the Justin Fields ability to make plays happen”

(42:45) Gardner Minshew starting over Aidan O’Connell: “This is probably the right approach. But his leash isn’t real long”

(48:00) WTF Is Happening: We rip through some nuggets on the Falcons, Chiefs, Texans, Bills, Dolphins, Jaguars, Lions, Rams, Cowboys, Seahawks, and Bengals

(48:45) “Shocker of the weekend. Are they worried about Kirk Cousins not being ready. That would be the only reason why you wouldn’t play Michael Penix”

(51:30) “Why are the Chiefs the only ones acting like they didn’t win the Super Bowl last year?”

(57:00) “Tua looks as good as I’ve seen him”

(59:45) “Hendon Hooker looks how you want a QB to look in the pocket. I would hope he could become the backup”

(1:00:50) “Rams would be absolutely crazy to go into the season with Stetson Bennett as the backup”
