We're headed back to Mount Rushmore—this time, it's the defense. Devon's still denying the existence of the real Mount Rushmore, but he's fully on board with the NFL versions. We kick things off with our First Down—the linebackers (02:40). Some of the most well-known defensive players in NFL history roamed the middle of the field. From Ray Lewis to Dick Butkus, we cover some of the all-time legends. Then it's Second Down—the edge rushers (15:34). We consider the legends—like Lawrence Taylor—against the modern-day ballers like J.J. Watt. We make some arguments against and in favor of different stars, but find agreement eventually. Then it's the defensive backs for Third Down (28:35). Devon has his Mount in a second, and Alex wants to take some time to discuss it. Two of the four come easily, the other two get some debate. Plus, is a nickname crucial for eternal acclaim? For Fourth Down, we wrap up with the defensive lineman (42:10). Alex gets some fun with a Purple People Eater and another Viking on the same list. Aaron Donald makes our job easy for one of the spots, too. Finally, our Out of Bounds Play of the week shows the Lions shelling out to keep a good QB happy (52:18). TL;DR—Jared Goff got paid like he's great, even though he's good, because he isn't terrible..Thanks for joining us in the AD's Office, hosted by Alex Larsen and Devon Plecas. Each week, we'll take you through our takes on the NFL. We'll be back every week, recapping everything going on in the League that never rests. Long live football. Hosted on Acast.
