The two addressed preseason performances, sharing their impressions of Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty and speculating on Pete Carroll’s potential impact in Las Vegas. Other notable players mentioned included Joe Flacco as a choice for the Browns, Dillon Gabriel’s prospects, Caleb Williams’ start with the Bears, Jaxson Dart in the Giants offense, and Cam Ward.

Super Bowl Champion LeRoy Butler joined the show to share his thoughts on several subjects. He spoke about the influence of Bobby Bowden on his life and how it led him to Florida State University (FSU). Butler discussed memorable moments from Green Bay, explaining why it was special for him and why he chose to spend his entire career there. He recounted stories from his rookie year, including declining to cover a particular player. Butler also explained why Coach Ray Rhodes played an important role in his professional development. Looking ahead, Butler shared his expectations for Jordan Love this season and ways the team could improve its secondary.
