Trouble in Paradise:
Dissecting the Patriots Issues & Offseason with WEEI’s Ryan Hannable 

arrow-down

Time to Panic in New England?
What is going on with the patriots, and what will the offseason bring?


Season 2 of The Fantasy Fullback Dive ended in Patriots woe.


Unfortunately, Season 3 begins right where we left off.


While we'd have preferred moving on, The Wolf and Truth had no choice but to stay in New England after all this week's wild news: Bill Belichick / Malcolm Butler, Josh McDaniels, Rob Gronkowski... really, the entire team have all been under the microscope. So we've brought in the big guns to bring some clarity.


In our Season 3 premiere, we're absolutely thrilled to welcome on WEEI's Lead Patriots Beat Writer Ryan Hannable to the show, and pepper him with the burning questions.


Hannable gives us all the insider scoops he's scoured from the normally tight-lipped Patriots. From Butler's benching to McDaniel's return to Gronk's retirement and every other personnel, injury, and free agency question in-between, we get leave no New England stone unturned. 


Indeed, the Fullback Dive remains a fantasy-first podcast. In fact, a can't miss interview with an Oregon Guru around new Bears OC Mark Helfrich will be following soon in Episode 2, and a heated debate around the Top 20 of The Wolf's latest 2018 Big Board looms for Episode 3.


Still, with so much drama around The Wolf's hometown team, we needed to plow up the gut and get the inside scoops. A must-listen for any and all NFL fans, especially those who love or hate the boys in Blue n Red.
