***NEW*** 5 Minute Drill: Waiver Wire Special (1 Viewer)

[Marc Faletti]

Hey hey,

We're bringing you 2 episodes of The Drill this week, and the first is up and running! We all know waiver wire moves are crucial after week 1, so we built a whole show around it:

http://subscribers.footballguys.com/podcast/

We especially think you'll like what Mike Garafolo from the Newark Star-Ledger has to say about Derrick Ward.

We've had as many as 7700 footballguys alone check out the show in a single week, so we must be on to *something!* Thanks to all of you for checking it out, and remember not to sweat the "subscriber" in the URL -- the show's free to all.

Tune in tomorrow for another episode dedicated to your week 2 preparation...

[OU#1]

Works fine on another network so disregard.

 

[hellz_fireflies]

Played fine for me..another good show..even tho most info this time I already knew about..except the Spend now for WW picks..rather wait a tad.

I think they do a great job, and that info from the Giants organization about Ward...its GOLD Jerry, GOLD!

Nothing groundbreaking for those of you who spend 14 hours a day on the message board, but for normal people I'm sure it had quite a bit of value.

I liked it.

I even changed some of my claims based on the information and some of the stuff I read today.

It was a waiver wire edition of the 5 minute drill. They were giving their opinion on who was worth adding and who wasn't.Exactly what earth-shattering news were you looking for?

I didn't have any expectations of the podcast, I just thought it was odd that "a vacation" was given out for an opinion expressed on a message board. I've seen far worse.

Nice 50 seconds of camera time, Sigmund. Tell that camera hog Lammey to let his haircut do the talking and give you more of the material! BTW - iPhone sponsorship?

How is what he said an opinion? It was a d!cky comment intended to be nothing more than a d!cky comment. ... and it wasn't excellent.

My hair has a stipulation in the contract that states it will get the most camera time.

Not saying it wasn't. But, please...I see you in many of the threads I visit and that was absolutely nothing when it comes to the dicky comments I've seen there.No, it wasn't exactly "excelleant, but I don't believe it fell under the "bannable offense" guidelines laid out by JB. Unless of course he was a multiple offender/pain in the ###...

Get Bloom out of the dark shirt - he fades into his background sometimes.Oh, you meant CONTENT. I liked what I saw - if you do a show, sometimes you're being super specific for the sharks, and sometimes it's aimed wider for the newer folks. Even if some of it wasn't earth shattering, I thought the opinions were well spoken and valid. Heck, I don't wanna be told what to do - just what THEY think should be done. Then I take those, mix them with my own opinions and come up with a choice.Plus - the special guest clip was pretty sweet.They ain't all gonna be 'the super sleeper nobody knows about is....' becuase most leagues just ain't THAT deep.Although maybe they'll cover it in the next ep.

 

[hellz_fireflies]

I don't understand why so much negative view points on this..its for all to see pay and non-pay members for info they might of missed. All know this is the #1 FF site...this is a great extra treat for all to watch. I admitted in my post here before I knew most of this info but still called it a good show..and saw some posts here who didn't know this info and are thankful for it. WTG again in my book!

I'd have liked to see something like a 'Keep an eye on' section for some not so obvious choices. It's one thing to be in the middle of the pack, but another to be ahead of the game.

At least it's well deserved. Seriously well done, guys. I don't know what specific demographic you target with these, but unless someone wastes 2-5 hrs of their employers time and hangs out here every day, there is a good possibility that the information is new - and especially the bit about Ward was insightful, even if some of us picked him up Sunday night (or earlier)! Keep it up.

Can't watch the pod here at work. Can someone summarize what was said about Ward?Thanks in advance!

Ward is the guy until Jacobs is back... and should be capable in the role.

Hey, Lammey, where did you come up with that pronunciation of the NY reporter's last name????

Just so we can all be clear on the Wood rules, what exactly did he do to get a "vacation"?

 

[The Kansas Comet]

I just wonder how much it hurt for Cecil to have to mention LenDale's fumble.

I agree that a deeper look at guys on the WW would be a nice addition.

Good stuff guys, looking forward to tomorrow's episode.

Levin - You are close....Cecil actually has a lot more kid in him.... Ihad wondered what he had been up to since 'House Party'.

that's how you pronounce it. I was pronouncing it like that comedian, but he corrected us.

I actually really like that idea as well.I think this edition was "adequate." As mentioned, it's a Drill on WW pick ups. How ground breaking or earth shattering can that be in week one? Pretty much anyone who'd be watching the Drill likely knows who should/shouldn't be targeted. I did like the fact that they brought up a few guys in a light that most aren't speaking about them (down on S. Young. Up on Engram....which I happen to agree with) Not just regurging things you're reading everywhere else.And as far as the camera time goes.....don't get me wrong, Bloom may be an absolute dreamboat compared to Lammey, but Lammey has a friggin' ROAD RUNNER WHITE-DUDE FADE!!!! How can you NOT respect that?! Don't hate on the

 

[Schrute]

Seriously? Wow, he doesn't even know how to pronounce his own name!!

Yeah, that's really how it's pronounced. I even almost mistyped it on the final show (Garafalo instead of the correct Garafolo), because it seems like it should be spelled/pronounced like Janine. But it's Ga-ra-FO-lo per his request, and with my last name, who am I to question it?

 

[Bri]

too vanilla

Hard not to be with WWs appearing so thin and I realize that.

gimme a wacky gut call with a separate RISKY WW pickup segment to spice it up. Broussard takes over by week 6. Sellers to get goalline passes with Cooley staying in to block too much. Something with a little kick or spice.

ETA-Make me go look up a player and/or news about a WW player, trigger some thoughts after the show to keep it fresh in the viewer's mind.

eh just a suggestion, I thought the feedback pretty much stunk so far so....hope this helps

Still very much love the production and how it's presented and all that.

Hey Bri,Yeah, this definitely helps! We'll try to feed the sharks a little more next week. We wanted to help out your anyone who might be a tad overwhelmed by how to proceed after week 1, but I think we can do a better job of including some advanced takes for the serious vets, as well. The nice thing about the show is it's whatever we want it to be, so feedback can really impact what we do in the weeks ahead. And shoot, we've got a whole 'other episode to debut later today...
