The Half Yard Line: Recent Episodes
Tim Engle and Luke Grundy
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.
Tim and Luke come to you MOMENTS after the championship games wrap, serving up their thoughts on the Chiefs and 49ers marching onto Vegas, in a Super Bowl that NOBODY could've predicted (except that loads of people did predict it).
Join the fellas to try and figure out what the Ravens offensive gamplean, why the Football Gods are so mean to the Lions, and chat about the reality or fiction that is Momentum. One game to go...

Well, we can all agree that was a LOT better. The Divisional round mercifully didn't pick up what the Wild Card round was putting down, and delivered 3 exciting games (and a snoozer but can't win 'em all). Jump into all 4 games with Tim and Luke, to discuss Buffalo's ongoing misery, the Ravens' ongoing dominance, the Lions' ongoing GOOD VIBES and the Packers' ongoing... flight home.
Plus the pod gives you some hot, steaming (semi-)breaking news as Luke's Titans hire a new Head Coach mere moments before the record button is hit! Tap on in!

The Half Yard Line turns 100! And we celebrate by talking extensively about... a weekend filled with uncompetitive blowouts. It's not a telegram from the Queen, but it'll have to do.
Tap in with Tim and Luke to natter about Eagle embarrassing, Ram rasslin', Dolphin drubbing and other things that sound questionably like animal cruelty but were in fact NFL (Super?) Wild Card Weekend football games.

The Half Yard waves farewell to the 2023 regular season and sets the table for the Wild Card Round, whirring through each and every Super (ugh) Wild Card Weekend game. Guaranteed All Predictions Wrong or Your Money Back!
In addition, Tim and Luke eulogize about the great Derrick Henry after what may have been his final game for the Titans, and discuss the newly-created coach openings across the league on Black Monday (as well as a couple that aren't open yet, but might be soon...), as they wind down towards the final show after this year's Super Bowl.

Tim and Luke close out the penultimate week of the regular season with a trawl back through the tar pit that is the Downtrodden Franchise Index, looking at all TEN (un)lucky teams and how they've fared this year, as well as where they go from here!
Who is fated for more years of futility? Who's on the climb? And who wants to coach under an owner who might throw a drink at them? Tap in and find out...

Join Tim and Luke for another ramble through the thoroughly confusing NFL, this week featuring yet another MVP candidate faltering, another thought-to-be-good team taking a beating, and the playoff picture remaining muddy as ever.
The fellas talk about the surprising Ravens beatdown of the Niners, the cloudy wildcard races, and look at how Detroit may finally be rising from the Downtrodden Franchise Index. Plus crown another Jonas Gray Player of the Week and debate if the best play of the week was... a missed PAT?

Tim and Luke wade back into Week 15's NFL action - featuring what's now become the usual lack of precision, confusing coaching calls and wayward execution. The 2023 season rolls along apace.
The fellas delve into 4 choice cuts of weirdness - Raiders-Chargers, Bills-Cowboys, Vikings-Bengals and Bears-Browns - and wonder if there's anything to learn, or if they should just learn to embrace the pandemonium.

The passion. The drama. The intensity. The athleticism. That's right, nothing gets the blood pumping more than NFL football. And nothing in the game of football gets more fans out of their seats, hearts beating like crazy, screaming in ecstasy or agony, than...
Kickers and punters, obviously.
Join Tim and Luke for this week's pod talking about the INSANE evolution of the NFL's legmen. How they kick it further, higher, more accurately than ever before, and frankly than we even thought possible not that long ago. What a time to be alive.

Tim and Luke are back, and so is the time-honored NFL tradition of firing your coach / coordinator because your team stinks / the offense stinks / the defense stinks / you're trying to save your own job / the owner is pissed (pick as appropriate).
Join the guys to talk about firing, sh*tcanning, ejection, the ol' heave-ho, defenestration (look it up) or whatever you want to call it, and discuss which teams have already made the move, why they did, and if it's going to make any difference...

Tim and Luke bring you a bumper episode ahead of Thanksgiving talking all things signal-caller. Tap in and be the most interesting person at your family dinner (if your family are all really into football...)
The boys chat about why QBs are consistently overhyped as college players, why they are unfairly judged as rookies, why coaching matters (but is rarely brought up) and why all NFL media covers them wrong All. The. *. Time.
All that plus a spotlight on two guys who for different reasons sum it all up: old hand Russell Wilson and upstart Brock Purdy.

A lot of bad teams. A lot of bad games. A lot of unhappy fans. Join Tim and Luke to try and dissect why the 2023 season has caused such consternation - namely, by trying to work out how many teams are actively trying to win games right now.
Who's transitioning to the next era? Who's Super Bowl or bust? And who's stuck in the dreaded land we call... Nowheresville??

You like starting quarterbacks? Well it's a bad week for you. Join Tim and Luke on this week's pod, talking in depth about all the backups making waves in the NFL in Week 7 and beyond.
The fellas chew on how they've fared so far, who might snatch a job from a fancied big-money starter, and which ones are fated to a life of clipboard-holding (it's probably a Microsoft Tablet now but whatever...). It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it.

Long-suffering fanbases, lift up your voices and join Tim and Luke in singing your praises, as this week's pod highlights the Herculean exploits of two Downtrodden Franchise Index stalwarts.

Tim and Luke dive into Week 3, taking a specific look at the teams who got thrashed, and how on earth it all went so wrong. Join them to ponder the Bills' wipeout of Washington, the Chiefs' chopping of Chicago, and of course the borderline X-rated carnage that was Miami's record-setting beatdown of the Broncos.
They'll delve into the common threads that link these whippings, as well as reflect on the pleasing renaissance of the kick return and Taylor Swift's sudden NFL omnipresence.

Join Tim and Luke for their FINAL(!!) State of the Union positional pod, fittingly about the last line of defense for every NFL team, the Safety position!
