Nate Tice, Charles McDonald and Matt Harmon: A Must-Listen for Football Enthusiasts
I've been a dedicated listener of this podcast since day 1. It's consistently been one of the most insightful and entertaining football shows I've ever come across. Their in-depth analysis of NFL offensive and defensive schemes is unparalleled.
What sets them apart is their ability to break down complex concepts into digestible terms. They explain intricate plays, formations, and strategies in a way that even casual fans can understand. Their passion for the game is evident in every episode, as they dive deep into the nuances of each team's approach.
As a fantasy football player, Tice, McDonald and Harmon's podcast has been invaluable. Their analysis of individual players and how they fit into their respective schemes provides a significant edge when making roster decisions. They often identify potential breakout players or players who may be underutilized in certain offensive systems.
Beyond the fantasy aspect, their show simply enhances my enjoyment of watching football. By understanding the strategic battles taking place on the field, I appreciate the game on a whole new level. Their insights have made me a more informed and engaged fan.
If you're a serious football fan looking to deepen your understanding of the game, I highly recommend giving Tice and Harmon's podcast a listen. Their expertise and engaging style make them a must-listen for anyone who wants to elevate their football knowledge.

This is truly a more upper-intermediate tier of football podcast. Here, your eyes won’t glaze over as they discuss basic, common knowledge football subjects (like you find in most outlets). You also won’t have to deal with boredom from over-wonkinesse designed to impress you. Nate, Charles and Matt provide a Goldilocks-level of in-depth analysis that gives you something to chew on, but stops short of giving you a headache.

Not only is it entertaining with a slightly degenerate charm, but it’s one of the only places that actually tells you something. So much of football media is group think and reputation scouting. These guys actually know what they are talking about, watch the film, and put real opinions out there. Instant must listen

Tice continues to deliver excellent on-field and draft prospect analysis using his breadth of experience and likable personality.

He is still a better Guest than Host though. Podcasts can be a bit ramble-y. To paraphrase Tice, if you’re going to make a joke or obscure reference do it quickly. Sometimes we focus too much on our own take-record/nameless internet commenters.

If the team can trim off some of the non-ball talk fat and try to ask more insightful questions this podcast can improve to an elite level.
