Recorded: February 8th 2024 | On this weeks episode, both of the boys are back for the intro. The guys recap the weekend and the NFL combine that happened. Since Taylor was there, he touches on what it was like being on the field watching some of the guys go through their drills. The guys also introduce a new segment called "Dad Time". In this new segment the guys get the chance to air out some of their frustrations in being a dad. Leave us some comments with some of your frustrations as a father. Following the intro the boys are joined by the one and only, Troy Polamalu. This interview is a football players dream, just a couple of older guys talking inside ball, some X's and O's and just good ol' fashioned dude time. Troy gets into how relentlessly he studied other players, how much he loved watching film and how he decided to make those plays jumping over the line.
