Simms & Lefkoe Podcast: Bobby Wagner, Manziel Benched, Panthers Chase Perfection

On Episode 40 of The Simms & Lefkoe Podcast, Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner joins the guys via Skype before his key Week 12 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Wagner talks about the leaders on Seattle’s defense, his football idols growing up and what it’s like to be chasing the Arizona 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 Carolina Panthers' pursuit of perfection, the Dallas Cowboys' chances of making the playoffs and the Cleveland Browns' decision to bench Johnny Manziel. You won’t want to miss Simms’ breakdown of why the New England Patriots-Denver Broncos game will be better 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.
