On this episode, Bryce Rossler and Matt Manocherian are joined by Big Cat (aka Dan Katz). The three of them played a game in which Big Cat renamed some of our stats based on how he viewed them and which NFL players he was reminded of in hearing the description of the stat.

For example, Big Cat renamed targets above expectation after Keyshawn "Give Me The Damn Ball" Johnson and blown blocks after Tony Mandarich.

They also discussed Ben Johnson's hiring in Chicago, the legitimacy of the tush push, whether the Chiefs' defense is overrated and whether concerns about their offensive line is justified (we'll do a much bigger Super Bowl preview next week).
