  • Colts turn back to Anthony Richardson, getting Caleb Williams back on track & Eagles-Commanders TNF
    Nov 13 2024

    Frank Schwab and Jori Epstein join forces to break down the biggest news and storylines from around the NFL this week, including Anthony Richardson reclaiming the starting role in Indy, the Chicago Bears making a big coaching change, Micah Parsons' latest comments, Frank's updated power rankings and previewing a massive NFC East showdown on Thursday night.

    Frank and Jori kick things off with the news that Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen is placing QB Anthony Richardson back in the starting role after a disastrous couple of games for Joe Flacco. Frank and Jori discuss how we got to this decision and what a roller coaster past couple of weeks means for Richardson's future development. In other news, the Bears fired OC Shane Waldron as they try to get Caleb Williams back on track and Micah Parsons made some interesting comments about Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy when speaking with Jori on Sunday.

    Frank's latest power rankings are out, and Frank attempts to defend his more controversial placements, including moving the New York Giants to the very bottom and the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals ever closer to the top 5.

    The Thursday night matchup between the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles has game of the year potential, and Frank and Jori break down how each team can manage to come away with a win that would have huge implications for the NFC East race.

  • Ravens exploit bad Bengals defense in TNF & biggest QB surprises this season
    Nov 8 2024

    Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab break down the Baltimore Ravens 35-34 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. Joe Burrow & Ja’Maar Chase put up huge numbers, but it wasn’t enough to get past an MVP-like Lamar Jackson and a Ravens team that just might be in the best position to make it to the Super Bowl than they ever have been.

    The trio share which quarterbacks won and lost at the trade deadline earlier this week. For Jared Goff it’s a win, as the Lions grabbed a defensive piece in Za’Darius Smith from the Cleveland Browns to aid in their Super Bowl pursuit. Meanwhile Dak Prescott & Deshaun Watson are trade deadline losers as the Browns parted with Amari Cooper and the Cowboys seemingly settled for Jonathan Mingo.

    Fitz, C Rob & Frank give out some midseason QB awards such as their QB MVP, biggest surprise QB of the season (both good and bad) and the biggest QB disappointment.

    (1:35) Cincinnati @ Baltimore recap

    (26:28) Trade deadline QB winners

    (36:11) Trade deadline QB losers

  • Would Carolina Panthers trade Bryce Young? Jets break losing streak & stock up Jalen Hurts
    Nov 1 2024

    Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab break down the truly terrifying Halloween-edition of Thursday Night Football between the Houston Texans and New York Jets. The Jets come up with the win, but is it far too late to save their season and does Malachi Corley deserve any sympathy after fumbling the ball before crossing the goal line?

    The trio share several names to watch for ahead of the trade deadline on Tuesday. The Jacksonville Jaguars might be open to trading Travis Etienne, but are there any teams out there who’d be interested in a running back? If Bryce Young shows improvement, would the Carolina Panthers be willing to trade him away or would they want to keep an improved Young on their roster?

    Fitz, Frank & C Rob look at a few struggling teams with bad owners. Are the Las Vegas Raiders any better off now under new ownership? And is there hope for teams who DO have bad owners?

    The three then go inside the Week 8 QB Room to talk stock up on Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles, if Jameis Winston has the potential to become a preferred starter and what Anthony Richardson’s benching means for the future of the Indianapolis Colts.

    (2:25) Texans @ Jets recap

    (21:23) Trade deadline names to watch: Travis Etienne

    (29:11) Trade deadline names to watch: Bryce Young

    (33:56) Are Raiders better off now?

    (43:32) Is there hope for teams with bad owners?

    (51:27) Stock up on Jalen Hurts

    (53:18) Stock up on Jameis Winston

    (1:03:11) Anthony Richardson "soft benching"

  • 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.
