    Peak
    Wildly entertaining and very interesting. Hands down the greatest podcast I’ve ever heard.
  • Craig Brauckmiller
    Great show, all around! Entertaining and educational
    I stumbled across these guys on YouTube last year and immediately started watching their content. They were the first channel to focus on the O Line and what it really takes to work in the trenches and survive on an NFL franchise. The guys are hilarious. These are the guys who you could see yourself sitting down and throwing back a few beers and just tell great stories. Can’t recommend enough! 5 STARS!
  • DirtTrack Fan
    Nobody does it better
    The Oline Committee has to be the most informative and entertaining podcast in the sports world. No pandering. No fake hype. Just three guys who want you to know and love football as much as they do.
  • Rt44444

    Thanks for fixing the duplicated content!
    Just wanted to say thanks for fixing it so dumb football questions isn't repeated in episodes anymore! Cool that you guys are responsive to feedback like that!
  • FastEJA
    Uniquely great nfl podcast
    Great nfl podcast from an O-lineman’s POV. Never gets too serious. You’ll laugh as much as you’ll learn, and you’ll learn a lot. Great perspectives, hilarious stories, and the shows format makes for a great listen. Worth checking out their YouTube channel as well.
  • bookemd13

    FOOTBALL!
    This is a great pod! First of all, these dudes are HILARIOUS - great chemistry. So many great stories and insights regarding the NFL. They really have a wide range of discussion points and takes. Great features like dumb football questions and film review sessions. Highly recommended!!
  • *JKS13*
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Great football minds!!!! And Mackey!!!
  • BatmanAZ
    A most enjoyable triumvirate of hosts
    I just love listening to and watching these guys talk. Quick to laugh and point out the absurdities but also informative with insider information of what’s it’s like to be in the NFL. But it’s really the interaction of the three in a cool and casual way at that keeps me listening. Goodbye opinionated talking heads that know nothing and move aside for people with real knowledge and experience. Who needs dramatic and sensationalized statements? This is like sitting around with your buddies except better in many regards because they talk about what they know and give us a small glimpse behind the curtain. Obscure OL: Forrest Gregg
  • BrettHowe2
    Really enjoy show and my favorite lineman and lineman stories
    Not too obscure but my favorites are David Dixon and Willie roaf. As a kid in Mankato David Dixon came over to sign autographs, looked at the line of people and very stearnly said “Only. One. Autograph.” And signed my ball then left for practice 😂. And the most gentle giant I ever had seen in person was Willie roaf at chiefs practice . I’ll never get the image out of my head of him on a mountain bike humming going to a training facility or the food hall and the wheels were completely deflated just due to the sheer weight of the man. Even better than that was one night after dark I was still looking for autographs and a full truck of lineman did a sneak McDonald’s run to get a few bags full of Mickey D’s into their dorms before bed time 🤣. Great memories and love the show
  • Mafujon
    Great insight
    My favorite obscure underrated o lineman was Anthony Herrera.

    Great show! Favorite o lineman from my childhood, Todd Steussie. My old man got me a custom jersey of his.
  • Biggie...
    Awesome show
    Great show guys! My submission for random o-lineman I liked was Grey Ruegamer
  • slim2321
    Best inside look at the stuff that matters in the NFL
    Favortie o lineman is John Sullivan. Got any stories about playing with him?

    Best Football Nerd Podcast
    I’ve always felt that offensive line is the pinnacle of team sports. It’s the combination of strength, intelligence, toughness, technique, and teamwork - all while lacking any sort of glory. It’s about time there was a podcast that does justice to this great position - you can find it here. I appreciate these guys getting into the weeds and completely nerding out over the nuances of the game. In the spirit of football nerds, I want to highlight my favorite random o-lineman: John Urschel. I’m sure many are familiar with his off-field achievements, having completed his PhD in Mathematics at MIT while playing in the NFL. He admitted after retiring, that he did not disclose to the Ravens that he took correspondence classes between workouts and practices. Unfortunately (for us fans), his NFL career only lasted three years. Understandably, he cited CTE as the main reason for this decision, despite his love for the game as seen in this quote: “I play because I love the game. I love hitting people. There’s a rush you get when you go out on the field, lay everything on the line and physically dominate the player across from you. This is a feeling I’m addicted to, and I’m hard-pressed to find it anywhere else.” He is currently an assistant professor of mathematics at MIT, and I’m happy for him, but this isn’t the only reason I love him. As a massive Ravens fan, it was such a nice luxury to have a guy like John who regularly filled in across the entire line to a competent level. He was the Patrick Mekari before Patrick Mekari. It’s not a stretch to say John (by the classical definition) has a case to be crowned as the smartest player to ever play the game - and he was an o-lineman.

    O Line Committee
    As a Viking fan since 1965, I love all the on line content about my favorite team. The O Line committee provides great insight during the season with film review and incredibly entertaining anecdotes and insight from Alex and Jeremiah and Phil keeps it all in controlled chaos. The fat guy fantasy and dumb football questions are fantastic. I highly recommend to any Viking fan or even if you are just a football fan
  • Slorp juice
    The best football info around
    Hands down the best football podcast out there. The inside scoop the chemistry and personality of you guys just works. Alex’s laugh Sirles shaking his head and Mackey living the dream.
  • Alamo Nguyen
    Favorite Random O-Lineman
    Love the pod, keep it up with more dumb football questions. Shoutout to Vlad Ducasse, as Teddy Bridgewater once said, “It’s his team as much as it is mine.” Also there’s a play from 2018 against the Packers where Mike Remmers thinks it’s a screen when it’s a drop back pass. He slaps the back of the d-tackle and Kirk gets sacked. One of the funniest plays I always remember
  • Non nate
    The best
    Informative and hilarious. Best podcast I listen to. Keep dropping the F bombs, Boone. Its great!!
  • FRGFBS
    Please restrain Phil
    Boys, your podcast wails but Phil is attempting to make it into another KFAN knockoff playing drops every two seconds. Phil, you ruined Purple Daily. Don’t ruin this podcast.
  • Charlie-66
    The best NFL discussions anywhere…period
    This is the best show talking about the NFL anywhere, in any format, on any platform. The guys are honest in their opinions and have no other agenda than sharing their love of the game. No divas, no drama, just insider perspectives from guys who really understand the game. This content, no matter how you access it is all you need!
  • DataNerd6
    One of the best out there!
    I’ve learned so much from these 3 that it’s changed how I watch football. Such great content and they are funny!

    Teaching football
    When you listen and watch them break down film you will never watch a game the same You will be trying to figure out where the blitz is coming from where the hot read is. How the small things become the big things
  • The Standard Dent Co.
    Funny and Informative!
    Love this show and its deep dive into recent football games from the perspective of former NFL players and a radio personality to keep them on task. (Somebody get Jeremiah a proper broadcast mic, though! I can’t listen with ear buds on because of all the popping! Super annoying!)
