Go Long

Not too long ago, Quincy Avery was living out of his car and sending Facebook messages to any quarterbacks that'd listen.
Now, he's coaching more pros than anybody else in his profession. What a fascinating chat this was with the man who has helped mold Deshaun Watson into one of the best QBs today, in addition to grooming Justin Fields, Trey Lance and Jalen Hurts. Also, Avery is fresh off of working out Packers QB Jordan Love so you know we had to get his perspective on Green Bay's quarterback situation. (His prediction may surprise you, too.)
Also, is Watson going to play this season. He has a prediction here as well.

Everything in Chicago could've been fired. But now there's hope with Justin Fields?

Hopefully, you've had a chance to check out the three-part series at Go Long on Erik Kramer's surreal decade. It is now unlocked for all to read.
And since this is such an important topic, we figured we'd open up his Happy Hour visit with subscribers for all here on the podcast as well.
Kramer shares more detail on his severe depression, suicide attempt and all the craziness that followed. Also, what comes next legally? He didn't hold back.

Looking back, it's crazy that D.J. Reed slipped through the cracks. He helped turn the Seahawks defense around last season and, at 5 foot 9, is changing everything we thought we knew about boundary cornerbacks.
We wrote about Reed becoming the most "dangerous" corner in football at the Go Long newsletter right here, in case you missed it.
For those who might've missed our Friday Feature, we figured we'd share the conversation right here in the podcast format as well.

We get into just about everything on this episode of the Go Long Podcast with recurring guest, former Buffalo Bills GM Doug Whaley.
While Karlos Williams didn't join the show as anticipated, we still plan on bringing everyone together to sing a little kumbaya. Whaley breaks down the Steelers' confusing direction on offense --- will it be Ben's show? Run-first? Of course, we have to talk some Aaron Rodgers. Whaley is beyond impressed with how the QB has masterfully manipulated the messaging all offseason.
Could NFL teams, as we wrote at GoLongTD.com, look to build teams differently after this chaotic offseason? Whaley and Monos, who lived in quarterback "purgatory" themselves, have some thoughts.
And we dive deep into gambling. Former commish Paul Tagliabue sees potential problems. Our resident gambling experts break down whether or not they see point-shaving as a future issue.
