The Ryen Russillo Podcast
Is the Shedeur Thing That Complicated? First-Round NFL Draft Reactions With Albert Breer. Plus, the Nuggets Look Cooked.
25 Apr 2025
Russillo begins by taking about the Knicks, who took a 2-1 lead over the Pistons; the Nuggets, who look like they’re in big trouble against the Clippers; and the Thunder, who had a massive comeback against the Grizzlies (1:18). Then, he chats with Sports Illustrated senior NFL reporter Albert Breer about all the action in the first round of the NFL draft, including the Jaguars' big trade for Travis Hunter and why it shouldn’t be surprising that Shedeur Sanders is still available (23:37). Finally, he and Ceruti close it out with some listener-submitted Life Advice questions (1:07:07) Host: Ryen Russillo Guest: Albert Breer Producers: Steve Ceruti, Ronak Nair, and Chia Hao Tat The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.

Buckle up! We're going for it. All right, tails to the couch, sort of. Just recapping the three games that we had last night. I was thinking about doing something with Apollo, but didn't have time. We'll wait maybe until the offseason. And the NFL draft, round one in the books with Albert Breer. We're going to get into all of it.
Jacksonville's bold move at the top, tight end situations, trade-ins, surprises, things teams like, things teams didn't like. And we will close on the Shador Sanders storyline. And life advice. Enjoy. Three games last night. I think they're still going to play the playoff games tonight despite Shador Sanders not going in the first round. I think the NBA will just operate business as usual.
So we'll get to that draft night. So a lot to keep track of last night. And we start in Detroit, New York up 2-1 after a victory on the road. Little Caesars going off. So a lot of the game two stuff that I talked about was cat or the lack of cat in the offense and his zero field goal attempts in the fourth quarter of game two. I was looking at it again. I think there was like three real touches.
You know, sometimes you get a touch as a center as they swing it and then you're not really in the play. So I think the number was like three real touches. Uh, because Thibodeau had said, no, we did a good job of them.
And it was like, I don't, you know, I don't know that I would agree with that, but sometimes catching the coaches right after not watching the film, they're just going to push back on any question or story building about the game and how things played out. So, uh, Tobias Harris, I would say, for the most part, through the first couple games, had done a good job against Cat.
And that's not a matchup that you would expect to win if you were Detroit. So I also think the Knicks had as much to do with it as Harris did, as we talked about the lack of touches. Fred Katz, who covers the Knicks for The Athletic, had a really good point about how defensive assignments can dictate how Cat plays the game. And it speaks to...
a record here that I was shocked because I knew what I was seeing. But then when I'd read this piece yesterday, I thought it was just pretty thorough and alarming at the same time. If it's a traditional big defending cat, the Knicks went 35 and 12. If it's a non-traditional big.
