14:16— Is three safeties going to become the new base defense?

27:51— Who are the best defenses in terms of using safeties to disguise coverages?

34:08— Unveiling our ranking of the top 10 safeties in football for 2018

56:38— Andy sees the error of his ways when it comes to the Golden State Warriors.

1:04:57— The Lightning-ish Round: Hall of Fame or No for Thomas, Chancellor, Berry and Weddle; Should Seattle trade Earl Thomas, the most underappreciated safety in football, the young safety you’d most like to build around.
