On Episode 40 of The Simms & Lefkoe Podcast, Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner joined the guys via Skype before Seattle’s key Week 12 game against the Steelers. Wagner talks about everything from the leaders on Seattle’s defense, his football idols growing up, and what it’s like to be chasing the Cardinals. He also shares his thoughts on Russell Wilson, both as a football player and as a person. Also on this week’s episode, the guys discuss the Panthers pursuit of perfection, the Cowboys chances of making the playoffs, and the Brown’s decision to bench Johnny Manziel. You won’t want to miss Simms’ breakdown on why Patriots vs. Broncos will actually be a better game without Peyton Manning. Of course, it wouldn’t be an episode of The Simms & Lefkoe Podcast without a visit from Stephen Nelson for “On The Down Low.” The guys also make their game picks and talk about their plans for Thanksgiving.
