Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson open this late Tuesday night podcast with their thoughts on the second episode of Hard Knocks featuring the Chargers, Rams, Jalen Ramsey's house-hunting and Aaron Donald's shirtless abs.Next, Charles and Terez discuss the attrition some teams are experiencing in the first few days of padded practice. With Cowboys defensive tackle Gerald McCoy out for the season, eyes in the league shift back to free agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. While Clowney and his camp believe attrition could help drive up the price for the former Seahawk and Texan, Charles argues that his opportunities are drying up as front offices around the league lose their patience. (20:45)On a brighter note in this strange offseason, as of this taping, only twelve players sit inactive on the NFL's reserve/Covid-19 list. Could that number get down to zero soon or is the league destined to see that number creep up as more physical practices become the norm? (30:05)The Washington Football Team made headlines this week as they hired former running back Jason Wright as their team president. The first ever Black man to have this role, Charles and Terez outline the struggles they could envision Wright encountering under notorious owner Daniel Snyder. (39:35)Later, our experts try to determine who has the best chance of having a better season in 2020: Cam Newton or Josh Allen? (48:40)Finally, they close out the episode discussing the draft predictions they've gotten tremendously right and horribly wrong over the years.

America's team made a huge addition to their defensive line in an all-in move for 2020, but before Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson get to that, more pressing matters must be addressed:The Seattle Seahawks cut rookie undrafted free agent cornerback Kemah Siverand for attempting to sneak in a female companion (dressed as a man) into the team hotel, proving the continued need for an NFL snitch line. (0:20)The Dallas Cowboys were in the news for multiple reasons this week. Terez & Charles address Dallas bolstering their defensive line with former Minnesota DE Everson Griffen, how Jerry Jones might handle players who kneel for the anthem and the team's plans to seat fans in "pods" when the season kicks off in a few weeks. (4:55)It was a good day if you were one of the league's elite tight ends. San Francisco's George Kittle and Kansas City's Travis Kelce both signed massive multi-year extensions, completely resetting the market for a star tight end. Our experts break down what that means for the position and if the league could see an influx of ultra-athletic specimens at the position. (26:00)Later, they look at the next class of TEs – Hooper, Hockenson, Fant, Andrews – who is the next Kittle or Kelce out of this young class? (40:00)Finally, they close out the show addressing a listener question about which countries could develop the best international football leagues.

With the two conferences (and potentially more) deciding to cancel their fall seasons and potentially play their 2020 seasons in the spring of 2021, Terez and Charles look at what this means for the NFL. How will scouting departments adjust to limited tape on the incoming class? Could the 2021 NFL Draft be delayed? (16:25)Last Thursday was the NFL's deadline for players to opt out of the 2020 season.
