Sheil is joined by Ringer alum Ben Solak from ESPN to analyze and debate some of the team and player takes that are being propagated by the most educated football literati as we head toward the season kickoff, including:

There’s still hope for Justin Fields
The Ravens will get over the hump
Justin Herbert is a top-five QB
The official hipster team of The Ringer NFL Show
Caleb Williams is taking the leap with Ben Johnson this year
Trevor Lawrence is good at football

Sheil ends the pod by sharing his take on the Micah Parsons drama coming out of Dallas Cowboys camp.
