The Half Yard Line
The Half Yard Line is a weekly NFL podcast for people who don’t hear the game talked about the way they think about it. Tim (the Steelers via Kentucky) and Luke (the Titans via the United Kingdom) take an objective look at the whys and wherefores of America’s Game, and analyze the good, the bad, and the downright baffling of the National Football League. We’ll talk about everything football, whether it’s the use and abuse of statistics, an in-depth discussion of how a game unfolded, the plight of a franchise that’s perennially stuck in the doldrums, or the simple pleasure an NFL player with a fantastic name. Join us every Wednesday as we talk about the one thing everyone can both agree and disagree on just as strongly: football.

#79: State of the Union - Linebacker
•
Tim Engle and Luke Grundy
The penultimate SOTU pod drills into the Linebacker spot, as Luke and Tim delve deep into a position which has changed dramatically in the last decade-plus.
They talk about what keeps the Linebacker spot relevant in the NFL of 2023, the evolving skill set needed to play it, plus debate on who is the gold standard today and who might get a gold jacket tomorrow.
And Levon Kirkland gets a mention, so we can all get on board with that.
