Episode 27 of In My Defense is titled “Free Agency.”First, the guys react to Bam Adebayo’s 83-point game. Was it historic? Absolutely. Was it the same as Kobe’s 81? That’s where the debate starts, as Canty and Que break down the context, the moment, and why not all huge scoring nights are created equal.Then they get into the NFL chaos, starting with the Maxx Crosby trade to the Ravens that fell apart. Baltimore thought it had its superstar pass rusher, but the deal died after Crosby’s physical, forcing the Ravens to pivot to Trey Hendrickson. Canty explains why it’s still a strong move for Baltimore, just not at the same level as a game-changer. After that, the guys discuss Kyler Murray to the Minnesota Vikings, a move that gives Kyler a fresh start and gives Minnesota a talented quarterback with a lot to prove. Canty breaks down why the fit makes sense and why the pressure now falls on both Kyler and Kevin O’Connell to make it work.Finally, they close with the top trades and free agency moves they didn’t expect, looking at the deals that caught them off guard and could end up shaping the 2026 NFL season in a major way.Nothing’s personal… but In My Defense. 📺 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@InMyDefensePod/?sub_confirmation=1🔗 https://www.linktr.ee/InMyDefensePod🎙️ New episodes drop every Friday🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and Amazon Music.Follow the hosts:Chris Canty → @ChrisCanty99Quentin “Que” McDuffie → @Queie_Beamen1Episode 27 – “Free Agency” Timestamps00:00 Ravens Back Out of Maxx Crosby Trade – What Happened?00:18 Podcast Intro – NFL Free Agency & NBA Playoff Race00:50 Canty & Que Talk Parenting and Baby Travel Stories01:10 Family Trip to Japan & Dad Life Conversation03:10 Bam Adebayo’s 83-Point Game – Is It Legit?03:38 Bam 83 vs Kobe 81 – Which Scoring Performance Was Better?05:14 Did the Wizards Help Bam Reach 83 Points?06:00 Comparing Bam Adebayo, Kobe Bryant & Wilt Chamberlain Scoring Nights07:05 Washington Wizards Franchise Struggles Since 197907:55 Bam Adebayo & A’ja Wilson Relationship Moment08:33 Canty on Why Bam’s Teammates Helped Him Make History09:52 Maxx Crosby Trade to Ravens Voided After Failed Physical10:40 Ravens Pivot to Trey Hendrickson After Crosby Trade Collapse11:10 Ravens Pass Rush Problems & Defensive Struggles12:02 Maxx Crosby vs Trey Hendrickson – Who Is The Better Edge Rusher?14:04 Why Trey Hendrickson Gets More Sack Opportunities15:10 Canty: Maxx Crosby Is a Future Hall of Famer15:50 Can Maxx Crosby Still Be Traded Later This Season?16:40 How Maxx Crosby Returns to the Raiders Locker Room17:30 Why the Raiders Must Wait to Trade Crosby Again19:20 Kyler Murray Joins the Minnesota Vikings – Breaking News20:10 How Kyler Murray Fits With Justin Jefferson & Vikings Offense21:20 Kyler Murray’s Reputation Problem – Film Study Debate22:25 Why a Motivated Kyler Murray Could Thrive in Minnesota23:30 Vikings History of Reviving Quarterback Careers25:05 Can Kyler Murray Be Consistent Week to Week?26:40 Who Has More Pressure – Kyler Murray or Kevin O’Connell?27:20 Vikings Coach Kevin O’Connell Still Hasn’t Won a Playoff Game27:40 Top 5 Unexpected NFL Free Agency Moves28:10 Mike Evans Signs With the San Francisco 49ers30:00 Michael Pittman Jr Joins the Pittsburgh Steelers32:20 Steelers WR Duo: DK Metcalf & Pittman Breakdown32:50 Tariq Woolen to the Eagles – Defensive Impact33:30 Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs34:45 Canty: Why Running Backs Are Treated Like Hammers in the NFL36:00 Alex Pierce Becomes Top 10 Highest Paid WR37:10 Wins & Losses of the Week37:20 Raiders Biggest Losers After Failed Crosby Trade38:10 Jason Tatum Returns From Achilles Injury39:30 Celtics Playoff Outlook With Tatum Back40:00 Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics Discussion40:50 Outro – Where to Follow Canty & Que🎙️ New episodes drop every Friday 🔗 www.linktr.ee/InMyDefensePod 📺 Subscribe: youtube.com/@InMyDefensePodFollow the hosts:Chris Canty → @ChrisCanty99Quentin “Que” McDuffie → @Queie_Beamen1 Hosted on Acast.

Episode 26 of In My Defense is titled “The Combine” — and this week, Canty and Que break down everything from boxing spectacle to NFL roster building.First, the guys react to Floyd Mayweather’s return to the ring. Is this really about the love of boxing, or is Floyd chasing one more massive payday with Manny Pacquiao and the exhibition circuit?Then they get into one of the NFL’s biggest moves: Trent McDuffie traded to the Los Angeles Rams. Canty explains why the deal is a win-win for both the Rams and the Chiefs — giving L.A. a premier corner while Kansas City reloads with premium draft capital.Finally, they recap the 2026 NFL Draft Combine, including the players who turned heads, boosted their stock, and forced scouts to go back to the tape.

Episode 25 of In My Defense is titled “The Franchise.” We start with the NFL’s most controversial power tool: the franchise tag. Between February 17 and March 3 (4 p.m. ET deadline), teams can tag pending unrestricted free agents, locking them in for one year at a top-five salary average.

Episode 21 of In My Defense is titled “Overqualified” because sometimes being the greatest still isn’t enough.Canty and Que open with the shocking news that Bill Belichick was not inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on the first ballot, despite six Super Bowl titles, decades of dominance, and reshaping modern football.

Episode 14 of In My Defense is titled “Crashout” — because the sports world gave us a masterclass in bad decisions, messy headlines, and teams acting desperate.Canty and Que start with the wild situation at Michigan, where Sherrone Moore goes from head coach at a blue-blood program to being fired and arrested in a span of days. They break down what it means for the Wolverines’ legacy, why Michigan felt it had no choice, and how quickly the program must move with the bowl game and the transfer portal looming.Then it’s on to the NFL, where the Indianapolis Colts hit the panic button and bring 44-year-old Philip Rivers off the couch. Canty explains why this is pure desperation, how the Steichen-Rivers relationship made it possible, and why defenses (especially Seattle) are going to test whether Rivers can survive the speed of mid-season action.In 99 Problems, the guys run through the games you need to care about:Ravens vs BengalsPackers vs BroncosCowboys vs VikingsDolphins vs SteelersBills vs Patriots, and a real convo about whether Josh Allen is wasting his window.They close with Wins & Losses of the Week, including love for the Lions, props to the Texans defense, a major salute to Shedeur Sanders, and an all-time roast for a coaching decision that had everybody yelling at the TV.Nothing’s personal… but In My Defense.🎙️ New episodes drop every Friday🔗 www.linktr.ee/InMyDefensePod📺 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@InMyDefensePod/?sub_confirmation=1🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and Amazon Music.📺 Watch full episodes on YouTubeFollow the hosts:Chris Canty → @ChrisCanty99Quentin “Que” McDuffie → @Queie_Beamen1From sports and culture to business and everyday life, Chris and Que bring bold opinions, thoughtful analysis, and honest conversation, always with humor, heart, and real talk.In My Defense – Episode: Michigan Fallout, Philip Rivers Returns & Josh Allen’s Window00:00 Start00:23 Intro01:23 Sherrone Moore fallout – Former Michigan head coach arrested after dismissal02:10 Canty on Michigan’s legacy and where the program stands now03:55 Accountability talk – What you teach the next Sherrone Moore05:49 Canty: Everything unraveled in hours — why pile on someone on their worst day?09:09 Philip Rivers rejoins the Colts – Reuniting with Shane Steichen11:41 Stat padding or legacy move?
