This offseason, the Green Bay Packers acquired Franklin in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts, in hopes of elevating the rest of the defense, especially emerging star Edgerrin Cooper, playing alongside him.

Landing in Green Bay on the heels of a 62-tackle and two-sack 2025 campaign, Franklin opens up about his goals for the upcoming season, what he envisions it being like playing in the middle of a defense surrounded by the likes of All-Pros Micah Parsons and Xavier McKinney, while getting real on the linebackers he’s emulated and who have pushed him throughout his career.

Airing select Sundays throughout the NFL offseason, the Between The Hashmarks Podcast Interview is hosted by NFL reporter Matt Lombardo, joined by current or former NFL players and top NFL Draft prospects sharing their best moments and opening up about the journey of their 2025 NFL season, how they’re preparing for the 2026 season, and much more.

Gesky, 6-foot-5 and 335 pounds, parlayed an NFL Combine snub into the kind of performance in front of NFL coaches and scouts that turbocharged his NFL Draft stock; 90th percentile in the broad jump, 30 reps on the bench press, running the 40-yard dash between 4.9 and five seconds, flashing the kind of athleticism and versatility that gives him the chance to thrive at the next level.

McDonald, 6-foot-3 and 326 pounds, built a reputation in Columbus for providing an explosive interior pass rush in addition to commanding the kind of double-teams that freed up Buckeyes linebackers to wreak havoc.

While the Eagles remain the odds-on favorites to win the NFC East, structural concerns on offense raise major concerns that Philadelphia will be able to stave off a one-and-done postseason collapse similar to Nick Sirianni’s team’s 2023 calamity. And, the Chiefs face just an 11% chance of making the postseason, after dropping games against the Dallas Cowboys and surging Houston Texans over the past two games.

NFL reporters Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier hold an Italian Wake to mourn the Eagles’ and Chiefs’ Super Bowl hopes, while digging deep on what went wrong in Philadelphia and Kansas City.

Plus, a glance at which teams have the best chance to win the Super Bowl, what’s torpedoed the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens over the second half of the season, and much more on an action-packed edition of the Between The Hashmarks Podcast!

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 19:55:05 +0000 2818 Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier false full The Cleveland Browns opted against using the first week of the NFL season to evaluate and develop either rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders, in favor of naming 40-year-old Joe Flacco the starting quarterback, as the Indianapolis Colts announced plans to move forward with Daniel Jones over Anthony Richardson.

Veteran NFL reporters Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier give their thoughts on the consequential decisions made by two rather inconsequential teams, that have put their head coaches in the unenviable position of attempting to win with a mediocre or worse roster led by mediocre or worse quarterbacks.

Meanwhile, an NFL Executive reveals Micah Parsons’ best fits in the immediate aftermath of ESPN’s Adam Schefter suggesting the All-Pro edge rusher and the Dallas Cowboys could be headed for a divorce.

All that and more on a jammed episode of the Between The Hashmarks Podcast!

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 22:54:35 +0000 4101 Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier false full The NFL world was once again touched by gun violence when a gunman killed four people inside the building that houses the league’s headquarters in Manhattan before turning the gun on himself, shooting himself in the chest in hopes that his brain would be studied for the impacts of CTE.

Among those injured in the shooting was NFL employee Craig Clementi, who was on the phone instructing his colleagues how to barricade themselves from the gunman and stay safe amid the shooting.

Hosts Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier attempt to contextualize the tragedy in Manhattan, as well as the backstory surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders releasing Christian Wilkins, Deion Sanders’ cancer fight, and some of the other top stories of the week.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams linebacker Cameron Lynch joins the show to reveal some of his top linebackers, what the Rams and Buccaneers must do to push for a Super Bowl in 2025, and more.

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 21:45:07 +0000 4191 Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier false full 33 As NFL training camps open across the country, Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier, dive into some of the biggest storylines across the league, including Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys’ baffling handling of star edge rusher Micah Parsons’ long-term contract negotiations.

“Just because we sign [Parsons] doesn’t mean we’re going to have him. He was hurt six games last year. Seriously,” Jones told reporters, incorrectly, as Parsons missed four games last season. “I remember signing a player for the highest paid at the position in the league and he got knocked out two-thirds of the year — Dak Prescott. So there’s a lot of things you can think about, just as the player does, when you’re thinking about committing and guaranteeing money.”

Jones’ comments have the potential not just to sour any ongoing talks with Parsons but to torpedo the Cowboys’ season.

Meanwhile, NFL wide receiver Jordan Matthews joins the show to lend his insight on the Eagles’ offense’s ability to take the next step, how Ashton Jeanty fits Chip Kelly’s Las Vegas Raiders offense, and reveals his top players at the position across the league.

After former Eagles center Jason Kelce flew to Minnesota to lobby owners against voting to ban the play, the tush-push survived after a 22-10 vote to ban it.

The onus now, as Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier discuss on the latest Between The Hashmarks Podcast falls on NFL defensive coordinators to figure out how to stop the play and offensive line coaches to figure out how to replicate it now that an effort to change the rule failed.

Lombardo and Tanier also break down the implications of Brock Purdy’s long-term contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers, the NFL Flag Football Olympic Dream Team, and more on an action-packed episode.

Pickens, 24, lands opposite CeeDee Lamb in quarterback Dak Prescott’s supporting cast, fresh off averaging 15.3 yards per reception last season as a potential missing piece in the Cowboys’ offense and a signal that the Steelers might finally be embracing a full-blown reset.

The Cincinnati Bengals wound up being one of the biggest spenders of the offseason, ending a two-season long soap opera involving elite wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, agreeing to terms with both of their top playmakers.

Chase becomes the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history, agreeing to terms on a $160 million extension, while Higgins becomes the top-paid No. 2 wide receiver ever, on a four-year deal worth $115 million.

NFL reporters Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier of Mike Tanier's Too Deep Zone share their thoughts on the biggest winners across the league, so far in free agency, and former Bengals wide receiver Carl Pickens joins to break down Cincinnati’s offensive outlook and how he expects Chase and Higgins’ deals to work out for the Bengals on this week’s Between The Hashmarks Podcast.

Stafford, 37, is set to count $46 million against the cap this season, and in a year where quality quarterback play could be tough to find, the Rams just might look to move on from theirs to stockpile draft capital.

How seriously are the Rams considering trading Stafford? Which teams make the most sense for the 16-year veteran with a Super Bowl ring on his finger?

While Sam Darnold’s forgettable performance on Monday night closed the book on the first round of the NFL Playoffs, Justin Herbert, Russell Wilson, and Jordan Love did their teams no favors in postseason losses.

Herbert posted a 40 passer rating in a loss to the Texans, Wilson decided not to show up for the first half against the Ravens, and Darnold was ducking ghosts while playing his way out of a big-money contract.

Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier break down some of the worst moments, and most spectacular moments from this week’s action before looking ahead to what has the potential to be a thrilling slate of games ahead in the NFL Divisional Round.

Plus, Lombardo and Tanier try to figure out what the heck Jerry Jones and the Cowboys are thinking in what is already becoming the most meandering coaching search across the NFL, before it’s even had the chance to get going.
