  • Anthony Richardson's future, Cowboys & Jets fixable? & more trade deadline buzz
    Oct 31 2024

    Jason Fitz is joined by Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab to deep dive on the latest news and storylines from around the NFL, including the Anthony Richardson benching and trade deadline moves that either have already happened or could happen over the next week.

    Fitz, Frank and Jori start with the news that Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen has benched young QB Anthony Richardson, which leads to a discussion around whether benching Richardson was the right move long-term. The hosts also discuss how this all relates to the quarterback evaluation process and how college experience can be a big asset for NFL evaluators.

    Next, Fitz, Frank and Jori dive into the NFL trade deadline approaching next week as they discuss why the top AFC teams (and the New York Jets) have been so aggressive so far. The trio discuss the moves that have already been made before looking at fringe contender teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams, Cleveland Browns and Jets and determining if there's moves that can be made to put them over the top.

    Later, Frank breaks down a few controversial decisions on his latest power rankings (including the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers) before the hosts wrap up the show with their predictions for the Thursday night matchup between the Jets and the Houston Texans.

  • Rams crack the code against Vikings defense & possible stock down on Patrick Mahomes?
    Oct 25 2024

    Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab react to the Los Angeles Rams 30-20 victory against the Minnesota Vikings. Did the Rams finally figure out Flores’ defense? As Puka Nacua returns in spectacular fashion, might the Rams pull back on potentially trading Cooper Kupp to keep their offense intact?

    In Week 7 of C Rob’s QB Room the trio talk through the Matthew Stafford to the Vikings trade rumors and how NFL teams can use reporters to gauge interest in trade deals.

    Fitz, Frank & Charles share why Lamar Jackson’s stock is higher than ever and just how much of a bargain his contract has become for the Baltimore Ravens. Meanwhile, is Patrick Mahomes’ stock falling? And if so, will that stop them from making a Super Bowl run or can their defense still get them to the finish line?

    (1:38) Vikings @ Rams recap

    (28:54) Would Rams trade Stafford?

    (39:54) QB stock up Lamar Jackson

    (50:36) QB stock down Patrick Mahomes

    (58:19) Tua Tagovailoa refuses Guardian Cap

  • Hopkins to the Chiefs, Cooper Kupp trade? Russell Wilson's journey from cast-off to hero
    Oct 23 2024

    Jason Fitz is joined by Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab to go behind the scenes on the biggest news and storylines from around the NFL. The hosts kick things off with the breaking news that DeAndre Hopkins has been traded to the Kansas City Chiefs, and Jori & Frank aren't too sure how much this actually helps KC. After discussing Jerry Jones' rationale for not signing Derrick Henry this offseason, Fitz, Jori and Frank discuss the trade rumors surrounding Cooper Kupp, and whether or not the trade is likely to happen ahead of the deadline in two weeks.

    Jori wrote a piece on Russell Wilson and what went into his journey from being released by the Denver Broncos to being the hero on Sunday night, and the hosts have a deep conversation on the mental toughness it takes to be an NFL quarterback, Wilson's return to the spotlight and why our tendency to make fun of Russ and his personality may say more about us than it does about him.

    Frank's power rankings are out, and Frank defends his positions on the Detroit Lions at #2 over the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers at #10 and where to rank the Miami Dolphins with Tua's impending return. To wrap up, the trio give their picks for the Thursday night matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams.

    (00:45) DeAndre Hopkins traded to the Chiefs

    (17:30) Are the Cooper Kupp trade rumors real?

    (23:30) Russell Wilson's journey from cast-off to hero

    Oct 18 2024

    Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab react to the New Orleans Saints losing 33-10 to the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. Riddled by injuries and with looming salary cap issues, is there anything the Saints can do to save their season?

    In the wake of the Davante Adams and Amari Cooper trades, the trio talk through other WR deals that could get done before the deadline.

  • Jets go all-in: Davante Adams trade impact, Steelers QB battle, Tom Brady & the Raiders
    Oct 16 2024

    Jason Fitz is joined by Yahoo Sports Senior NFL Reporter Jori Epstein to cover the latest flurry of news around the NFL, including the Amari Cooper and Davante Adams trades, a quarterback battle in Pittsburgh, updates from the owners meetings, potential pass rusher trades and predictions for the Thursday night game.

    Fitz and Jori kick things off with the New York Jets pushing all their chips in with their latest move to acquire Davante Adams, and why the move is actually a better deal than some might think. The Amari Cooper trade was a great move for the Buffalo Bills, but signals some (more) concern about the Cleveland Browns and their direction.

    In other news, Russell Wilson is healthy, and so the quarterback competition in Pittsburgh is back on. Jori breaks down why Mike Tomlin seems to want to make a change. Also, Tom Brady is officially a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, and the hosts break down the potential tampering problems that could arise from his broadcasting role, what Brady's relationship with Mark Davis will be like and more.

    The Detroit Lions suffered a major loss last weekend in Aidan Hutchinson, and Jori and Fitz discuss who Detroit might target to acquire a pass rusher in a trade, including Haason Reddick, Maxx Crosby, Josh Hines-Allen and Myles Garrett before wrapping up with their picks for the Thursday night matchup between the Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints.

    (1:45) WR trades! Adams to New York & Cooper to Buffalo

    (19:40) QB controversy in Pittsbugh

    (27:35) What Tom Brady means for the Raiders & Jerry Jones' fateful radio hit
