Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah Episode 1 is here! The long-running pod is back with the same name but a different home. In the first episode, DJ breaks down his lists of FIVE quarterbacks and teams he thinks could go from good to GREAT this season. Is DJ too high on the Cowboys or is this the year Dallas can collectively put it all together? Are the Chargers poised to have the best year in the Justin Herbert era? Then, Eagles GM Howie Roseman joins the show to break down various moves the Eagles made this offseason, what makes Cooper DeJean and Jalen Hurts special and what the key is to Philadelphia’s sustained success defensively. Finally, DJ looks back on some hits and misses from past drafts before taking a trip down memory lane to when the FIRST ever MTS aired in 2009. | Move the Sticks
