·1 hr 20 min·5 clips

Zach describes Breece Hall as a steady, between-the-tackles runner with great vision, while Matt calls him 'fine' but points out concerning drops and fumbles.

The episode opens with the hosts celebrating their return and sharing personal updates, including Matt Foreman's new child. They establish the show's purpose: a film-grinding hootenanny where they, as non-professional scouts, evaluate rookies from a fantasy football perspective. Zach explains they will use DLF's rookie running back rankings as a starting point but emphasize their own film-based grades are preliminary. The core of the episode is a structured evaluation of six running backs. For Breece Hall (Iowa State), they praise his vision, between-the-tackles running, and pass-catching but criticize his fumbles, pass protection, and lack of home-run speed. For Isaiah Spiller (Texas A&M), they highlight his route-running, versatility, and power but debate his patience versus indecisiveness behind the line. For Kenneth Walker III (Michigan State), they laud his pure running, acceleration, and cutting ability but express major concerns about his lack of receiving work and pass protection. For Kyren Williams (Notre Dame), they appreciate his slippery running, pass-catching, and blocking but worry about his size limiting his role. For Rachaad White (Arizona State), they note his receiving skills and burst but point out his struggles with first contact and offensive line issues. For Tyler Allgeir (BYU), they commend his consistency, blend of speed and power, and relentless effort but question his pass-game polish and finishing power. The format involves each host giving initial thoughts, then drawbacks, for each player. The episode concludes with each host sharing their personal ranking of the six backs, revealing significant disagreement: Zach has Breece Hall top, Matt has Tyler Allgeir first, and J-Mike has Kenneth Walker III leading. They reiterate that these are film grades subject to change with the combine and draft.
