Michael Robinson and Brian Billick welcome Wade Phillips back to the show. Coaches Wade and Billick tell stories about the marital stresses placed upon those in the coaching profession (1:47), before digging into some gridiron talk. Coach Billick recounts the first time he met Wade, it involves a keg of beer at midnight (3:35).  Who came up with 11 and 12 personnel terminology? It was Coach Wade (5:03), which isn’t surprising when you discover the techniques his father came up with (7:06).  Techniques that MRob claims are the foundation of everything he knows about football. Coach Wade reveals the secret of greatness: the great ones always believed they could be better (10:47). Speaking of great ones, find out why Reggie White’s 21-sack season in ’87 is even more impressive than you think (11:21). Coach Billick gives Wade something to consider with a question. What’s the best defense he ever had (12:35)? And just how hard is it for defenses to be great today (15:35)?  MRob asks Coach Wade if he’s ready to retire from retirement (19:59).

This is show #350 ... in which we get rare access ... to peek inside the NFL War Room ... what's really going on in the final days before the draft?

INSIDE THE NFL WAR ROOM

Marc takes us behind the closed (often locked & closely guarded) doors where NFL draft decisions are being made 
How heated does it get?
How does a team of NFL Scouts & Coaches & GMs & owners ... reach consensus?
Who has the final say?

ART OF DECEPTION

How much of what we hear from NFL GMs these days is truth? 
& how much of it ... is well-crafted fabrication?
We'll ask those questions ... as we address recent comments from a few NFL execs 

PERFECT DRAFT 101
What's the best strategy - building AROUND a rookie QB ... or building FOR a future QB?
Are QB prospects ... OVERDRAFTED?
What position is OVERLOOKED?
What SHOULD & what WILL happen with the Bears @1 ... the Commanders @ 2 ... the Patriots @3 ... & the Giants @6?
What 2 NFL teams are the best at drafting talent?
