I love you guys but what on earth is he talking about Chip Kelly’s Oregon teams were like power spread rushing attacks. Lamichael James was rushing for 1500+ every year. As a team Oregon averaged more Rushing YPG than Passing YPG all 4 years under Kelly. And it increased every year never averaging fewer than 230 rushing YPG. His UCLA teams only averaged over 230 YPG in 2020 and 2022. •when will these podcasts allow users to make multiple comments. I don’t like erasing an old comment to make a new one. Jeanty talk, I don’t hate the Bama version of Trent Richardson comparison, but for a NFL comp I’d like more Ray Rice or Maurice Jones-Drew due to his compact build, breaking tackles constantly, slight wiggle on runs. I’m not sure if he’ll the pass catcher either of those guys were. - Richardson weighed in at 228 at the combine, they used to say he was 225-230 at Bama.

Football knowledge and opinions are on point, DP is a lot easier to listen to over Kieth who’s almost forced sounding gangster vibe gets old along with overused phrases such as “ok DP let’s keep this going “ good guy just tired schtick.

Long overdue to post a thank you for this great podcast. Love the NFL Draft buildup and your shows are awesome. Looking forward to each new one!

5stars

This is a pretty decent pod about draft prospects, especially if you’re SEC all day. You will rarely hear about other prospects unless they play for the elite schools. Really not much thought goes into these episodes. They do a pretty good job breaking down prospects in a digestible manner, but don’t have much range.

My first listen every day.

Love listening to the pod wish there was a episode everyday ngl

Damian & Keith mesh so well together. I love their interactions and fun moments. You can tell they love their jobs and the game of football. Knowledge is legitimate and not weird/nerdy! Keep going fellas

Damien and Keith not only know what they are talking about, but you can tell they love what they do. The energy and passion is so recognizable. This podcast is fantastic

Amazing conversations on this prospect. If you want to learn Football you can start here. The cast are highly knowledgeable and don't just spew stats out at you.

This show could be renamed Locked on Ads. Too many ad breaks in an already short pod. Also, mispronouncing names consistently is irritating. Keith routinely says CJ Strod instead of Stroud. Other name issues as well. Seems to have an issue of where people need to go because of lack of knowledge of who is on the NFL team. Does anyone listen and approve these before published? Has alot of potential but not quite there. Also, we don’t need to hear everyday that Keith was with LSU.

They don’t really analyze talent or picks. They kind of just pick favorites and seem to show bias towards some schools and nfl teams.

Love this podcast, especially the hosts!!

Love the show and especially used to love the draft special. But I’m a Lions fan and taking Kancy at 6 ruined the whole series for me! You do realize we don’t have Matt Millen or Martin Mayhew anymore, right?????? SMH

This show has seemed to go through a few hosts since Ben and Trevor left the show. No one seems to be able to create the connection with the listeners or with each like they used to.

Out of touch from what modern NFL GMs and teams are thinking

Love the work you all do

Great Content DP and Keith

If you’re looking for 8 minutes of actual draft talk then this is your show!

Just unsubscribed today after being a subscriber from the beginning. But I felt like today they could have done something different and spotlighted the 3 Virginia players that passed and where they stood as prospects. I felt like that would have brought something different, instead of wasting todays episode on Walker and Hutchinson and if Jags are having buyers remorse. Still a fan of Crock, but just disappointed.

What’s the story with Kansas’, [Lean, Mean] Jason Bean? Realistic future in the NFL? - (5th year senior, Bean, showed good pocket awareness & presence, a very impressive arm including several off-platform throws mirrored with, good➡️great, mobility.) And, does TCU’s Max Duggan have a NFL roster spot in his future?

This used to be my favorite podcast around. The new hosts are not up to snuff plus the episodes seem to be half commercials which drone on and on and on. Officially out on this pod

Very good podcast as all of the Locked on Podcasts are. The reason for the three star is because of sound quality. The commercials are overwhelming. Hurts the ears with Res buds in. TV fixed this by passing a law they could not Jack up the volume for commercials. Another criticism is I will never give anyone a 5 star who begs for it. One more annoying thing is don’t tell me what to listen to first. I will never listen to Locked on first because they tell me to.

** Where is Ryan? This show lags without him. Needs more. If he’s gone, its in trouble Updated: Now they are hitting the Draft hard! EC and Ryan have different takes on players, not just agreeing. The guests are great and experience matters! Ryan is a little too conversation for me. GO FOR THE GOLD! Old hosts Trevor and Ben were decent, but too much time wasted being “fun”. They were good on film opinion, but light on process, NFL Execs point of view and big-picture. Young scouts talking what they saw. I listened occasionally. Now, this feels like the adults are running the show. Post-draft check-ins are a big part of the picture to improve the next year. Love the discussion of different NFL Teams philosophies and adjustments. Rob Rang has a tempered take. Like to hear more from him. Eric seems to only watch CBs WRs and QBs, but his takes are informative. Ryan doesn’t commit to many takes (especially negative). Love the stats work and athleticism rankings. Look forward to All-22 work from these guys

Things improve as the NFL Draft gets closer, but it’s absolutely painful when these guys try to talk anything CFB from June-February. Player analysis is shallow and buzz-wordy, no depth. Real issues affecting the game, same thing. Just a lot of talking clearly without understanding any relevant context for the most part. Most recent hilariously ignorant example was when Crocker legit tried to act like UCLA moving to the Big Ten was a bad move for the program. That move was the only hope UCLA had for their athletic department’s financial solvency (thanks to massive debt from other sports). Please actually know what you’re talking about before opening your mouth.

Overall they talk about football rather than social commentary, food or whatever. That alone makes them better than most.

RIP

I’m trying so hard to like it… but I can’t make it through an episode. The chemistry is so poor.

I liked the old hosts, and I like the new hosts. As a lions fan, the draft is my super bowl, so it’s nice to learn about the guys in depth ahead of time. Eric and rob are a daily listen.

These guys have the same level of understanding as a 10 year old watching the Nickelodeon stream. “Ronald Blair is the jets top edge rusher”. Same guy who struggled to get on the field most of the season, easily 4th or 5th on the depth chart. What a joke, do a little research outside of Twitter. Start by pulling up the depth chart maybe?

The show really fell off a cliff after Trevor and Ben left

Trash now.. it’s not worth listening to since Trevor and Ben left… nails on a chalkboard is better then this

I miss the old guys. Way more fun to listen to

Obviously it’s tough to replace Ben and Trevor but these new guys are unlistenable. I will take my nfl draft podcasting time to Into the Filmroom or Juicy Dietz.

Show has gotten terrible the guys obviously don’t watch the games and don’t know what they are talking about. I watch a lot did college football every week and it’s plain as day this show doesn’t watch very many games

Love the analysis. Hate the ads.

Used to be very Good

They don’t really say anything will not even be listening or respond to a point or take just a lot of shilling

Show used to be good but it's an easy unsubscribe now. They lost the hosts, which happens, but the new guys are un-listenable. I gave them a shot, but these guys are all over the place - there is no flow or rhythm to the show. NFL game review, college game preview, player news discussion, draft stock talk, team building philosophies, etc. Pick one topic and talk. On top of all that, Crocker's voice is nails on a chalkboard which just makes an already bad listen just miserable.

Stinks.

Is this a 13 year old hosting this show? What happened to the previous crew? This is unlistenable.

Milquetoast and monotone. They’re hard to listen to.

They spend the regular season defending their draft takes (ie why J. Chase is still WR2) and the lead up to the draft with amateur and gimmicky content.

I understand that podcasts lose hosts in the Locked On format. But this show really does need to be longer than 25 minutes with 5 minutes of ads and 30 seconds of an intro. Good luck to the new era but this format just doesn’t give much at this point especially in a nuanced topic like the draft.

Probably my favorite draft content because he doesn’t waste half the show with distracting, “witty” banter like so many of the other fantasy pods. But, no idea why the sound quality is so terrible?? Put some compression on this to boost volume and use a better mic. I have a $140 mic for my iPad that sounds 10x better than this. Great stuff, though! Will move to 5 stars when sound quality improves.

I’ve been a listener for quite a few years now. Started back when it was Trevor and Jon still. Actually met Trevor back in Nashville at the draft years ago at a steakhouse there. Very sad to see Ben go as I thoroughly enjoyed the combo of Trevor and Ben but he’ll do great in his next gig. This has been my go to weekly. Highly recommend for anybody interested in the NFL draft, prospects, fantasy football, and those who enjoy football podcasts in general. Give it a listen. You won’t be disappointed!

Trev and ben thanks for doing this pod this has given me so many laughs for the past 7 months that I have been listening but I feel like I am already an ally of the pod bc I listen to 90% of all the pods released even if it’s not on the day that they released it. Have fun with ur new job ben (what ever get outa here already we’ve said buy) Trevor find a co host better then Ben or I will prob leave 1 person pods aren’t as entertaining to me as 2 heck I’d be ur co host 😂 (jk- kinda) peace out Ben

Big fan of your show. I’m a trauma counselor and one of my favorite ways to decompress after a stressful day is just listening to your pod, I never miss an episode. You guys are always entertaining and informative. I even somehow enjoy listening to you talk about Marvel on Fan Fridays despite the fact I’ve never seen any of the movies (I know, I know). That’s when you know you’re talented at what you do. Thanks for the content and keep up the great work :)

Never miss a pod, it’s just that good. Rank your top three generic high school mascots and color combinations (red and silver knights, gold and black lions, pink and orange naked mole rats etc). Go birds

Fellas! Listened to the most recent pod (long time listener, haven’t missed a show in 13 months) and I must say it was weird. Im from NH and tomorrow I am moving to Scottsdale AZ for work and I was like wait? Am I Ben? I also work with kids? Love the show, give me a shoutout? And Ben let’s connect when im out there! -Steven, Steelers Diehard
