The 2024 NFL regular season finally kicks off Thursday night with the Baltimore Ravens traveling to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Gerald McCoy and Kyle Van Noy are excited to get the season started and begin this episode by looking at the reigning NFC champion San Francisco 49ers, who have had a tumultuous offseason following a Super Bowl loss and multiple contract disputes. While WR Brandon Ayiuk has a long-term contract locked in, superstar LT Trent Williams does not and is still sitting out training camp and team practices. The guys talk about why Williams is so important, react to the shocking news of Ricky Pearsall’s shooting over the weekend, and discuss why it’s so difficult for Super Bowl runners-up to find their footing the following year.
Later in the show, Kyle Van Noy previews his Baltimore Ravens’ trip to Chiefs Kingdom for the 2024 season opener, and the guys share their thoughts on the entire Week 1 lineup and pick each game.
Plus, Gerald shares a personal story from the weekend about how he took on a hive of wasps living in his son’s driveway basketball hoop one-on-one.
