The Collapsing Pocket

Episode 193. The boys reconvene for their annual podcast of negativity. After dissecting the mountain of news they look at coaches and GM's on the hotseat for the coming season, as well as which teams are likely to be 'forked by Thanksgiving'. Enjoy!

Episode 14. John Albert Elway Junior's NFL story remarkably continues to this day. But his journey from the number one selection in the 1983 draft - where he nearly left football in favour of baseball - to his position as a Superbowl winning General Manager has been a 'Mile High' rollercoaster. In our latest Inside The Pocket podcast we look at the career of one of the greatest quarterbacks ever to grace the gridiron.

Episode 192. The boys dive into a lot happening in Washington as well as the latest COVID news and some big contracts doled out on the Franchise Tag deadline. They then enjoy their annual Superbowl predictions, ludicrously running through all divisions and playoff games. Enjoy!

Episode 13. Toughness epitomised the career of Jim Kelly, a blue collar quarterback who belatedly found his way to Buffalo and into the hearts of the Bills faithful. But despite the heartbreak of four Superbowl losses in a row, Kelly was to find far more adveristy off the gridiron once his playing days were over. In the latest Inside The Pocket we look at the career of 'Machine Gun' Jim Kelly and the 1990's Buffalo Bills. Enjoy!

Following on from our last ITP about Eric Dickerson & SMU, NFLUK legend Jeff Reinebold joins us to discuss College Football in the 70's & 80's and the murky world of recruiting. Enjoy!

Episode 12. One of the greatest players to grace the game, Eric Dickerson was almost unstoppable with the football in his hand. Outspoken and fiercely principled, he also understood self-worth and refused to accept anything less than he deserved. From SMU to the present day, we look at the rollercoaster ride that was the career of Eric Dickerson, and the shady world of college football recruiting in the 70's and 80's.

Episode 11. When officer Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd's neck, eventually causing his death, it led to worldwide protests against racial inequality and police brutality - a cause that one NFL star, four years ago, knelt himself to raise awareness of. That man was Colin Kaepernick, a quarterback who took the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl just a few years earlier.
