Introducing the Breaking the Plane podcast, which offers an in-depth look at the NFL. On the August 23 Breaking the Plane Podcast, Matt Williamson (@WilliamsonNFL) and Jon Ledyard (@LedyardNFLDraft) kick off the series by talking about what to expect from the podcast and taking a look at the AFC East.
