Tactical Breakdown on Hammeringdown.com Hello! Welcome to one of the more unhinged podcasts I've recorded in a while. It started with a ramble, it ended in a ramble, and we're here with 46:11 worth of content. Neco Brett returns to the 3 Sparks, and hours later, so does Juan Agudelo. Is there a way to fit them all on the field? Absolutely, but it will take a lot of work to do so. I am serious about the Cala Coffee. Please sponsor me.

The former UCF standout made his way to Birmingham, was as hot as the forge could make, and now Jonathan Dean is an MLS defender for the Chicago Fire. We know it's going to be hard to see him go, but we are so proud of him in the Magic City. Looking forward to seeing what he does moving forward....

When the Big Man in the Big Red Suit slides down Jay Heaps' and Tommy Soehn's chimney this year, what will they be getting? What does Birmingham Legion FC need to take that next step? Is it a new striker? A new left back? Maybe a new idiot to talk into a microphone that isn't me? Who knows, but let's talk about it anyway!
