The Rookie Playbook: The UK NFL Podcast

The Rookie Playbook's defensive series continues, along with Rhys' fortnight-long euphoric bender, as we stick with linebackers, this time focusing on the guys on the outside. We're joined again by the captain of the Great Britain women's American football team and erstwhile coach with the Buffalo Bills, Phoebe Schecter.

We'll tell you what a QB spy is and why an OLB might want to take a peek at the tackle, and Rhys and Tom try to tell you who to look out for in 2020 without mentioning the Buccaneers or the Vikings.
