The Combine, Scouting & Eagles Future (PST Show #351)

The NFL offseason is here as The Combine has started. NFL teams, especially the Eagles, look to bright forth a brighter future as they assess potential new personnel and talent. This week, Michael Kist, host of the Kist & Solak Show on BGN Radio and contributor at BleedingGreenNation.com, joined us to discuss The Combine, football scouting, and how the Eagles need to prepare for the future. It's a great interview for every football fan out there!But first, we dove into some listener feedback about our segment last week that focused on sports radio vs. sports podcasts. (approx. 3:50)From there, we got into some Phillies talk this week. People lost their minds over the new Phillie Phanatic and a lawsuit is now pending. Plus, what can we expect from Aaron Nola this season? (approx. 8:25)We then discussed the recent Flyers trades, how they'll impact the team and whether or not we should see Nolan Patrick out on the ice, playing in a regular season game. (approx. 19:55)Then we talked about the floundering Philadelphia 76'ers, Ben Simmons' injury, Joel Embiid's injury, and how the team has seriously slumped from where the fan base expectations were just months ago. (approx. 29:10)This week on the Highbrow Segment, we gave our thoughts on the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players Association. The NFL certainly has a PR machine on their backs and they use it effectively. How will this impact the league and players in the future? (approx. 35:50)On the Lowbrow Segment, we gave our top most enjoyable podcasts to listen to outside of sports podcasts. (approx. 48:40)What we're throwing down on the Table, is an in-depth interview with Michael Kist from BGN Radio and Bleeding Green Nation. First on the agenda was Combine talk where we analyzed the 40 and vertical jump. From there, we got into how the Eagles value the linebacker position and the position's evolution over time. Will the Eagles draft a top safety this year, and will that individual be groomed over time? We got into all of this and much more on the Table!
