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.

(00:40) Anthony Richardson's future: was benching the right move long-term?

(28:10) Trade deadline deep dive: AFC teams getting aggressive

(33:30) Trade deadline deep dive: are these teams fixable?

Nate Tice and Matt Harmon join forces to react to the latest breaking NFL news and give their eight favorite things they saw from Week 8. Nate and Matt start with the news that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is being benched, as both hosts wonder if this is a short-term move to protect the team or a longer-term one that could set the Richardson's development back. In other news, Stefon Diggs will be out for the remainder of the season, prompting questions over their offense, and Diontae Johnson was traded to the Baltimore Ravens, which gives Baltimore an additional capable receiving option.

Nate and Matt spend the rest of the show trading favorite things they saw from Week 8. The duo cover the emergence of Marvin Harrison Jr, Matt's boarding of the Pittsburgh Steelers hype train, the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles offenses taking steps forward, the Herbert to McConkey connection and much more.

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

Nate Tice is joined by Charles McDonald to preview the Week 8 slate of NFL games, highlighting the two biggest matchups and giving out one thing to watch for the rest of the particularly sloppy Sunday slate. Nate and Charles start with the Buffalo Bills heading to Seattle, as they break down how the Bills run game can take off in this game and the one interesting thing that the Seattle Seahawks offense and the Bills defense have in common.

Next up is the Chicago Bears taking on the Washington Commanders (who may be without Jayden Daniels), and the duo discuss what's lead to Caleb Williams figuring it out so fast and whether or not the Commanders run game can keep rolling against a nasty Bears defense.

The hosts move on to the rest of the Sunday slate and give one thing to watch in each game, leading to conversations on Jim Harbaugh's run game, Tua Tagovailoa, why the Tennessee Titans defense is actually really good, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers creamsicle uniforms and much more before finishing off the show with a mailbag question on the best role players in the NFL.

(2:20) Buffalo Bills @ Seattle Seahawks

(13:40) Chicago Bears @ Washington Commanders

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.

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