Put Up or Shut Up: Hurts Pressure Builds + Draft Winners So Far, Reaches & Reactions

About this episode

The episode discusses the pressure on Jalen Hurts and analyzes the Eagles' draft selections and overall team strategy.

The guys kick things off by revisiting Thursday night’s reaction to Makai Lemon—so…is Matt still dazed and confused, or has reality set in? That spirals right into the bigger offseason theme they’ve been circling for months: everything the Eagles are doing right now is a direct challenge to Jalen Hurts. No more excuses—this is officially “put up or shut up” territory. From there, they shift into Day 2 movement, breaking down the selections of Stowers and Bell, plus the trade for Grennard. Are these moves about immediate impact, long-term upside, or something in between? Erik and Matt dig into how it all fits the bigger roster puzzle. Then it’s onto the main course—full draft reaction mode. The guys go pick-by-pick through the early rounds, highlighting the teams that are absolutely crushing it, the ones making questionable calls, and a few picks that left them genuinely stunned. Who’s building something real? Who’s just spinning their wheels? And which teams walk away from Day 2 feeling “mid”?
