Each year, Duke Manyweather and I put together our NFL Offensive Line All-Pro teams — 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Team — and for the first time in 2025, our Protector of the Year Award selections.

This show represents the culmination of another season spent studying the position full-time: grinding film, trading daily notes, and working to quantify what actually shows up on Sundays.

Our goal is simple — do right by the offensive line. Put in the work, shine a light on the position, and elevate the players who truly define it.

We take the process seriously. And we still have a lot of fun doing it.Episode Timestamps
