Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson open this late Tuesday night podcast with their thoughts on the second episode of Hard Knocks featuring the Chargers, Rams, Jalen Ramsey's house-hunting and Aaron Donald's shirtless abs.

Next, Charles and Terez discuss the attrition some teams are experiencing in the first few days of padded practice. With Cowboys defensive tackle Gerald McCoy out for the season, eyes in the league shift back to free agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. While Clowney and his camp believe attrition could help drive up the price for the former Seahawk and Texan, Charles argues that his opportunities are drying up as front offices around the league lose their patience. (20:45)

On a brighter note in this strange offseason, as of this taping, only twelve players sit inactive on the NFL's reserve/Covid-19 list. Could that number get down to zero soon or is the league destined to see that number creep up as more physical practices become the norm? (30:05)

The Washington Football Team made headlines this week as they hired former running back Jason Wright as their team president. The first ever Black man to have this role, Charles and Terez outline the struggles they could envision Wright encountering under notorious owner Daniel Snyder. (39:35)

Later, our experts try to determine who has the best chance of having a better season in 2020: Cam Newton or Josh Allen? (48:40)

Finally, they close out the episode discussing the draft predictions they've gotten tremendously right and horribly wrong over the years. (56:05)
