Yep. You two covered a lot of ground, and kept it pretty entertaining. Of course, the WZ inmates talk about all the same stuff over and over....and many can't spend a near-hour listening in. But you have something here worth pursuing and I hope more find the time to listen.

REALLY?! That's just crazy. Ginn is the most expendable WR on the roster. His return game isn't so unbelievable that he is guaranteed a spot. I'd still put Williams back there, or LaMichael James or Perrish Cox. On a talented team, we need spots for developmental players. Ginn has reached his ceiling.

Thanks a lot. I originally wanted it to be 35 minutes, but after all was said and done it was longer. I'm hoping more people tune in as we get more and more stuff! Soon we're going to have an interview with the man, the myth, the legend, Matt Barrows.

Who should dress on game days, Perrish Cox or Tramaine Brock?
I would rank Cox ahead of Brock, because Cox has some PR/KR capabilities, adding some flexibility to the roster. Brock seemed to be doing very well last preseason and early on during the season (an INT in each of the first two games), but trailed off significantly as the season wore on.

He broke his hand and needed to get surgery, which allowed Culliver to take his spot.
And yeah, Cox is more flexible, not just on special teams, but also in coverage. He is the backup nickel corner behind Rogers. And while I like Tramaine, he second INT was on a hail mary pass to end the half and his first one was a tipped ball IIRC

ya that's right. Im of the opinion that Brock has peaked, where Cox still has some unlocked potential.

Shouldn't your podcast be called BITTER Rivals? I don't get the name...
And you don't cut Ginn.
And you see who is better between Brock & Cox in camp (cross your fingers for Cox, cause Brock ain't so great.).

It's a play on words. Better/Bitter Rivals. One might even go so far as to call it punny.
And why don't you cut Ginn? He's not irreplaceable.
And as a 4th CB, I'd think Brock is just fine. Cox has more potential, but potential never won any games. He has to realize it.

You don't cut Ginn so Kyle Williams doesn't fumble away Super Bowls.
