Chris Manhertz is a tight end immortal
Forget playing in a game. Chris Manhertz defied the odds by stepping into an NFL building to compete for a spot on a 90-man roster. He was a collegiate basketball at Canisius who didn’t know anything about football. Now, he enters Year 12. The tight end is still a wanted man. He’s got high hopes for these 2026 New York Giants, too. Loved welcoming Manhertz back on the Go Long Pod for this conversation. He first shared his origin story with us in March 2021 and, well, the Bronx native is still going strong.This league chews up and spits talented players each summer.How in the hell has Manhertz been bashing away as a blocking tight end this long? His day-to-day approach is quite instructive. Topics on the pod include…* How my Real Football co-host Jim Monos and ex-Bills GM Doug Whaley discovered Manhertz.* He wasn’t a high-flier on the basketball court. This wasn’t Sean Payton plucking Jimmy Graham off the Miami Hurricanes basketball court. Manhertz was more like Anthony Mason, and that ruggedness proved to be a perfect fit at tight end. * One block vs. Mario Williams in a 2015 Bills practice planted a seed of confidence.* Resurgence of the Blocking Tight End. Contenders across the league deploy two- and three-TE sets. Both Jacksonville and Chicago drafted tight ends earlier than expected. Manhertz keeps on getting contracts. Why? * How does Manhertz keep pumping oxygen into his career? What is his secret sauce? A ton goes into his 5-days-a-week training regiment. (And now, he’s got three kids.)* He attended the New York Knicks’ wild Game 4 comeback win at MSG and relives all pandemonium.* John Harbaugh’s vision has Manhertz thinking big. All coaches preach about the significance of “situational football.” It’s different with the ex-Ravens coach. * Why making the playoffs is a realistic goal this 2026 season.* His thoughts on quarterback Jaxson Dart. Full video and audio is above. You can also access this episode on our Apple, Spotify and YouTube channels.I’ll also post a written transcription of our chat for those who prefer words.

Kyler Murray and renewed hope in Minnesota
Hello from blistering Eagan, Minnesota. You know the drill. Every time we visit these Minnesota Vikings, I’ve got to sit down with fellow Substacker Matthew Coller of Purple Insider. Coller takes the lead on our latest pod conversation above. Kevin O’Connell may be conducting a “quarterback competition” between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy but it doesn’t take too much detective skill to see that starting the vet Murray is optimal. This team spent more cash than anyone in 2025. They’ve got arguably the best non-QB in the sport (Justin Jefferson), the best defensive coordinator in the sport (Brian Flores) and a core eager to win in the present. The Wilfs are not interested in rebuilds. Can Murray, the former No. 1 pick, find a little magic this season? If he does — and the Vikings contend — he’ll earn a big pay day.You know, like Sam Darnold. The quarterback odyssey is different up north.On the pod, we examine Murray’s upside in this offense, how the Vikings stack up in the NFC North and why this 2026 season could go (very, very) well or (very, very) bad for the Vikings. New GM Nolan Teasley should be able to pivot either direction into this year’s deadline. Video is above. You can also access this episode at our Apple, Spotify and YouTube channels. I’ll have more reporting from our trip to the Midwest in the future.Thanks, all. Miss our 1 on 1 with Josh Allen? That feature is available right here for paid subscribers to Go Long. Also, Ray Davis opens up on his ambitions. He wants a role on offense.Be on the lookout for our next Friday Feature soon, as well as another episode of “Real Football” with Jim Monos.

Real Football: Josh Allen 2.0, Rams as NFL villains, NBA fun & Joe "dime a dozen" Montana
There’s no high-drama quite like pro football and every high drama needs a villain. That’s why Game of Thrones devolved into steaming garbage the final season. It was not ruthless enough. After a sloppy, injury-plagued 2025, the Kansas City Chiefs aren’t quite as loathed at the moment. Could the Los Angeles Rams fill that void? On this week’s episode of Real Football, we discuss the blockbuster trade heard ‘round the league: Myles Garrett to the Rams. This roster is loaded. Good luck finding a weakness. But let’s not forget about those defending champs in Seattle.At the top of the show, it’s all Josh Allen.I sat down with the Buffalo Bills quarterback for our latest feature, available right here for paid subscribers. At 30, as a new Dad, he’s “extremely rejuvenated.” On the pod, we examine the landscape of this AFC. Getting to the Super Bowl is on Allen’s mind. As usual, we bounce around to various topics. I’ve got to admit the NBA has been quite entertaining and we get to that A.J. Brown trade. The New England Patriots are loading up around Drake Maye.But I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that there will be much feedback concerning one of my co-host’s takes. Jim Monos scouted for the Eagles, the Saints and was a personnel exec with the Bills. He harbors a strong, contrarian view on one… Joe Montana. Appreciate everyone who has found Go Long this week in light of our Allen piece.As a friendly reminder, we’re powered by you. No ads, no sponsors, no gambling blood money. Thank you for supporting independent journalism. Video and audio of this episode is available above and over on our Apple, Spotify and YouTube channels. This is a public episode.

Live from the Big Tree! An OTA look into Joe Brady's new world...
Josh Allen’s arm remains Henry Rowengartner strong. DJ Moore’s route running has been silky smooth in this setting.All of those new defensive pieces are starting to piece together in Jim Leonhard’s defense.OTAs have commenced across the country with minicamps ‘round the bend and training camps closer than you think. I spent some time this week at One Bills Drive for big stuff you’ll see roll out in the future. Until then, here’s a pod. I joined Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News at the Big Tree Inn, a Hail Mary toss from the new stadium, for an episode of the Go Long Pod. Always enjoy talking shop with Jay, and he recently penned a feature on Davison Igbinosun worth your time. We hit on a bunch of topics… * Joe Brady is the man in charge now. X’s and O’s will matter. But it’s clear the new boss bounding drill to drill is trying to infuse the Bills with a new energy. * Allen’s arm looks spry as ever. Nobody should take this quarterback for granted. (A certain “hospitality tent” throw comes to mind.)* Brady wants these Bills to ATTACK. “They’ve got to play us” is a theme. How can the Bills drill this theme home in the spring?* Brady also told Go Long that Pete Carmichael was his most important hire. Why? The new OC met with the media on Tuesday.* Who’s a player on offense that could surprise in 2026? We each offer a submission. (Hint: One uses blunt language.)* Why Ed Oliver’s play style could fit Leonhard’s expected chaos. * Cornerback was always a major need and GM Brandon Beane explained why in our 1 on 1. We discuss the team’s most polarizing draft pick: Ohio State’s “IGB.” You can catch the video and audio of our conversation above.Be on the lookout for more coverage this coming Friday.Thanks, all.Related:* ‘My chip is deeper:’ Our 1 on 1 with Bills GM Brandon Beane* Joe Brady takes charge, Part I: ‘I’ll set my jaw’* Joe Brady takes charge, Part II: ‘They’ve got to play us’* ‘He wants to win the whole damn thing:’ Inside the Buffalo Bills’ decision to hire Joe Brady as HC This is a public episode.

Real Football: Could this whole Aaron Rodgers-Mike McCarthy thing work? A hearty debate...
Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy are together again. What a difference seven years make, eh? The Pittsburgh Steelers refuse to rebuild, so they’ll roll with a fading great who turns 43 years old this season. McCarthy evolved in Dallas, escaped the Jerry World rot and will try to squeeze a little more magic out of his old QB. He doesn’t need to do this. What an opportunity the coach had to develop someone else.But while one ex-Packer sees squabbling between the two as inevitable, another offers a different prediction. And my co-host Jim Monos is downright giddy. This was a fun episode of “Real Football.” OTAs can offer funky headlines. Our charge this week is simple: Which team has you legitimately excited? Monos explains why he’s in on the Steelers changes and sees hope in Tennessee. Our former NFL scout/exec says Cam Ward is the most talented quarterback in the AFC South. Meanwhile, I like how Kevin O’Connell pivoted his Vikings. Kyler Murray is set up to succeed. Maybe this is all being sold as a “competition” at quarterback. Murray was brought in to start and contend. We delve into Monos’ take that O-Line is overvalued by NFL GMs, my take on Jaxson Dart and other topics, too.Video and audio is above. You can also catch this episode on our Apple, Spotify and YouTube channels. Be sure to rate, review and share if you enjoy. Paid subscribers can access all future episodes of the show. Miss anything in print this past week?* He’s been patronized, mocked, dismissed by the football world. None of it stopped one of the sport’s smallest players. Now, it’s time to bring life to decrepit MetLife and awaken the Giants. My profile of Calvin Austin III is here.* A few thoughts on the topic du jour. No, Jaxson Dart did not nuke the locker room.* Drafting linemen high is a waste of time if you don’t have a quarterback. Monos column here. This is a public episode.

Why the Miami Dolphins slammed the reset button
New GM. New head coach. New quarterback. Oh, the Miami Dolphins are also eating nearly $200 million in dead money.This is an organization long overdue for such a complete reset. Jon-Eric Sullivan, Jeff Hafley and Malik Willis all travel from frigid Wisconsin to South Florida in an attempt to build something special from scratch.I spent time in Florida on our most recent reporting trip for features you’ll see as training camps close in. Enjoyed two very compelling conversations. In the meantime, I thought it’d be a good time to catch up Kyle Crabbs of Touchdown, Miami! here on Substack for a podcast episode. Kyle does an excellent job analyzing everything Dolphins. We look back at where things went wrong for Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa after rocketing to 10,000 feet in Year 1 and why it’s smart for this team to cleanse the locker room. Out is Tyreek Hill, Jalen Ramsey and other highly compensated vets who weren’t particularly the best leaders. Out is Tua. In are players, in theory, who are the polar opposite on and off the field.For too long, this roster’s been a mere collection of talent. Maybe now the Dolphins can build a true team. Go Long strives to deliver raw storytelling and bring you real pro football.We also rely completely on your support. Thank you for reading, subscribing and sharing with a friend.

The Jaxson Dart Plan: State of the New York Giants with Ed Valentine...
Offseason hope tends to get choked out by regular-season realities for the New York Giants.Yet with John Harbaugh, there are tangible reasons for optimism. I chatted with some people inside the building for this recent piece. It sure sounds like Harbaugh and GM Joe Schoen are in lockstep — don’t be surprised if contracts get aligned. The two have worked well together. To take a closer look at the roster itself, let’s welcome Ed Valentine onto the Go Long Pod. Valentine is the man behind Big Blue View at SB Nation and Valentine’s Views on the Big Blue YouTube channel. He always brings strong institutional knowledge and insight as a man who’s covered everything from Super Bowl triumphs to Joe Judge-orchestrated quarterback sneaks. We discuss this shift from Brian Daboll to John Harbaugh, what to expect out of Jaxson Dart in Year 2 and all of the moves the Giants made around their young quarterback this offseason. There’s logic to follow. Video and audio is accessible above. Thanks, all.We’d love it if you helped grow our community today. We’ve got three recent columns available to paid subscribers live at Go Long here, icymi: Mike McCarthy doesn’t need to do thisThere’s some Azeez Al-Shaair in all of usWhy this feels real for the New York Giants This is a public episode.
