Reporting As Eligible

On a brand new full boat episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt, and JR go over a truly surprise cutdown day! Not AJJ! Not the Mayor. Anders! Well…OK. The Packers also traded for Malik Willis and made a surprising call at QB, took some risks at receiver, and probably have some work to do before taking on the Eagle in Brazil!

Plus, merch news, and of course, listener questions!

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul and Matt discuss what can and cannot be learned in a preseason game, bad quarterback play, bad kickers, Hopper v. Douglas, the Denver effect, Dillon v. Wilson, why this was the perfect Bo Nix game, and of course, listener questions!

On this Very Special Episode of Reporting as Eligible, on the FTF Network, Paul interviews Aaron Schatz, the man who created DVOA, who makes the FTN Almanac, and has been mentioned on this podcast more than any non-host.

Paul and Aaron discuss what will and will not regress for the Packers, the improvement of Route DVOA/DYAR using Allen Lazard as an example, whether Joe Barry was that bad, a rosy projection for the Packers, rational expectations for Caleb Williams in Chicago, and a bit about the Patriots and the Drake Maye future.

You can purchase the FTN Almanac on Amazon, or at FTNFantasy.com, and for a limited time, you can receive a 15% discount on FTN subscriptions, gaining access to all the statistical and DFS tools we discussed by using the code "FTN15" at checkout.

Paul also answers all of your early season questions, though keep in mind he did so before the preseason game was actually played.

RAE is back, let's get things started!

The Packers have some worrying "luck" stats that may jump up and bite them in 2024. Here's why you shouldn't sweat it.

So, how exactly did the Green Bay Packers do in the 2024 draft? Paul, JR, and Tyler are here to tell you why a boring draft may be just what the doctor ordered, and in all likelihood not as boring as you think! Especially if you like repeatable, successful business process, and really who doesn't. Plus they still make time to ridicule the rest of the division.

And of course, listener questions!

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt, and Tyler discuss the draft in the only way you really can:

What do you want to happen?

What will happen?

What do you not want to see happen.

Plus listener questions!

On an all new Reporting as Eligible, Paul and JR review the NFL scouting combine!! Where Indianapolis is temporarily transformed into a celebrity-ridden party of epic proportions. JR recaps the weekend including a meetup with several other RAE-related folks, the interviews, the trivia, and the sheer physical presence of those in attendance?

Who impressed, who will be crashing down draft boards, and who will be on the Packers’ radar? Will they target needs, the best players available, or both, and are there any players who maybe shouldn’t rise or fall as much as conventional wisdom dictates? All of that, plus listener questions as the NFL offseason rolls on.

On an NFL Combine special edition of Reporting as Eligible, Paul andspecial guest Tex Western, on site in Indianapolis, discuss Brian Gutekunst’s recent interview including his philosophy on quarterbacks, cognitions tests, and David Bakhtiari.

The guys also go over the likely draft philosophy the Packers will pursue, the positions of need, and a few players to keep an eye on. All of this, plus incites into predictive metrics, RAS, guys skipping the combine, and of course, listener questions!

On the season finale of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, JR, and special guest Tyler Brooke talk about their favorite moments from the past season, when they knew the Packers were for real, and who they’re most excited about going forward, and those few lingering doubts about what still may not be perfect. 

But it’s mostly celebratory! Joe Barry is gone, and the guys go over the cornucopia of potential replacements, strengths, weaknesses, and who they prefer. They also target the big needs of the draft, as well as Tyler’s trademark early draft recommendation in an area of Packer need. While the team lost, it was an incredible season filled with breakout performances, so let’s talk about them. Plus, of course, listener questions!

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt, and special guest JR Radcliffe break down the team’s heartbreaking yet inspiring loss to the NFC’s best team. Should we be sad because we couldn’t capitalize on the rain and Brock Purdy’s tiny little hands, and the loss of Debo Samuel, or should we be happy that we looked so very good with all the kids and no cap space? Or is it a bit of each, because life, and football, are complicated.

Was Eric Wilson’s fumble recovery the secret play of the game, and like, the best high speed fumble recovery ever? Is Christian Watson the secret big problem? Why didn’t Bo Melton play more? How big of a loss was Zach Tom? They should pay Aaron Jones, right? And Fred Warner. I mean, damn. 

Plus the future of Joe Barry, Darnell Savage, AJ Dillon, SBH, Aaron Jones, and the NFC North, and of course, listener questions!
