PFT Live Segments

Brady Quinn has been doing a lot of talking over the past few days, and Mike Florio looks at the QB’s bad timing. The Pittsburgh media is the first on the scene of Todd Haley and Ben Roethlisberger news, and the term restricted free agent is defined.

Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star looks at the Peyton Manning-Jim Irsay relationship and what’s to come. Kravitz regards them as a couple that knows a divorce is approaching but are unsure of how to go about it. The Colts have advised Andrew Luck not to throw at the Scouting Combine and Kravitz explains why.

Mike Florio talks with the new NFLCA Executive Director David Cornwell about the suprising support by the NFLPA, his relationship with DeMaurice Smith and Ryan Braun of the Brewers’ steriod situation in Major League Baseball and how it would be different in the NFL.

It’s been too long since Peyton Manning dominated the headlines. With the NFL world arriving back in Naptown on Wednesday, Manning figures to be in the news again.

We gave you a taste of Mike Mayock’s appearance on PFT Live in the Rumor Mill Tuesday.

With the Combine about to get started, we may as well include the entire interview here.

After all, Mayock knows a lot more about the draft than anyone writing on this site. Or anyone in the media period. Here are Mayock’s thoughts on the top quarterbacks, Trent Richardson, Justin Blackmon, and the lack of intensity at the Pro Bowl.

NFL Network and NBC’s Mike Mayock appeared on PFT Live Tuesday to talk about the draft.

In the clip below, he breaks down the difference between Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III.  Luck may be the “safe” pick, but there isn’t a lot separating these two.

This is one of those videos that doesn’t really need any more introduction. If you don’t like Mayock’s draft analysis, I don’t have any bloody use for you.

For Mayock’s entire interview, go to the show’s homepage or you can download the show on iTunes.

In the opening segment of PFT Live, Mike Florio breaks down the difference between the scouting combine and pro day and the advantages of both exhibitions to Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck. The Steelers could have new plans for wide receivers Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown. Also, salaries under this year’s franchise tag will be lower, and the agents have yet to tell their clients this.

Mike Florio talks with NBC Sports and NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock about the Pro Bowl and the pace of play in the most recent game. Mayock says the League needs to find a way to increase the intensity of the game or get rid of it. Mayock also talks about the upcoming NFL Draft. Mayock talks about the strength of Luck and Griffin as well as the top running back and wide receiver.

CBS News Chief Investigative Correspondent Armen Keteyian previews his upcoming special on HBO with Mike Florio. Keteyian profiles former super-agent Leigh Steinberg’s rise to the top of the sports world, and his subsequent fall from grace due to his problems with alcohol.

It’s Mike Mayock season.

With the Combine later this week, NFL Network/NBC analyst Mike Mayock joins PFT Live to talk about the draft with Florio.

The Panthers were one of the most imbalanced teams in football during Ron Rivera’s first season as a head coach.

The offense was one of the most explosive groups in the league; the defense was absolutely dreadful. Looking at the team’s depth chart, we’d expect G.M. Matty Hurney to spend most of his attention this offseason on the defense.

There really isn’t a spot on the team’s defense that couldn’t use help. They need more depth and talent at virtually every position.

Fans may want another wide receiver, but that should be low on the list of priorities. The team has some young talent behind Steve Smith and the offense will be fine because of Cam Newton, a solid offensive line, and two talented running backs.

In Segment 1 of PFT Live, Mike Florio discusses whether Drew Brees and Ray Rice will be given the franchise tag and suggests a modification in that regard for offensive linemen. 

In Segment 2 of PFT Live, Rams WR Brandon Lloyd talks about his impressive last two seasons and how he’d be interested in being reunited with Josh McDaniels in New England.

In Segment 3 of PFT Live, Mike Florio talks with Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette about the Steelers’ front office, the hire of Todd Haley at offensive coordinator and his relationship with QB Ben Roethlisberger. 

We’ve speculated on PFT about Brandon Lloyd’s future in free agency. Now we can ask the man himself what he is thinking.

Lloyd joins PFT Live to talk with Florio about where he expects to land in 2012.

Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will also go over all things Steelers.
