The companion podcast of Go Long at GoLongTD.com. Founder Tyler Dunne is joined most often by longtime NFL personnel man Jim Monos, who scouted for the Eagles, Saints and served as the Bills' director of personnel before his current job as director of football ops for the XFL. Dunne also interviews players and fellow NFL writers from around the country. The goal? To humanize this game and lift up the curtain on how this league truly operates beyond the press conference.
Setting The Pace is a Pacers Podcast with Alex Golden and Mike Facci. Brought to you by the Blue Wire Podcast Network.

An odd statement, true, but a statement that also aligns with how Sean McDermott has operated each postseason. We explain why the Bills cannot -- and likely will not -- water down their best player's game. Also, we talk evolution in …
