Scramble Drill: A Football Show

The NFL makes sane people do crazy things. For Josh, Ben, and Landon, it made them start a podcast. Scramble Drill is made of the group chat conversations and text thread arguments that we love so much. The boys aren't always right (just most of the time), but they have a good time spitting takes.
Welcome to Scramble Drill.

The conversation gets spicy fast as they sort out the top of the league, debate who’s being overrated, and explain why health, coaching, schedule strength, and quarterback play matter just as much as raw talent.
