Preseason football always brings the same debate about safety, and this episode digs into it head-on. A new report suggests at least 1 in 4 former NFL players may develop CTE, and Gee asks Brandon Mebane what that number means for a league still figuring out how to protect its players.
That conversation leads into a deeper look at retiree health care, with Mebane making the case for why five years of coverage after retirement isn't enough, and what a better system could look like heading into the next CBA. From there they dig into two-a-days versus today's lighter practice schedule, whether cutting reps actually reduces injury risk, and why this preseason has felt unusually brutal for season-ending injuries.
Gee and Mebane also break down the Seahawks' final preseason tune-up against the Chiefs, Jalen Mills getting the start, and whether a rough preseason record actually predicts anything once Week 1 hits. Plus a heated back-and-forth on Brian Daboll and the Titans' offense, and a debate over whether it's harder to build a good offense or a good defense in today's NFL.
