• Colts turn back to Anthony Richardson, getting Caleb Williams back on track & Eagles-Commanders TNF | Inside Coverage
    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.

    The three man weave returns as Nate Tice is joined by Matt Harmon & Charles McDonald for a special midseason awards show. The trio check in on their preseason takes, predict true Super Bowl contenders, give their biggest surprises & disappointments so far this season and much more.

    Nate, Matt and Charles kick things off with their short list of true Super Bowl contenders, as everyone has the same top four teams, but things get interesting after that. On the flip side, the hosts also predict which three NFL teams will end up with the top three picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, and they all happened to have the exact same list. The trio also give their thoughts on the Chicago Bears parting ways with OC Shane Waldron after a disastrous few weeks coming out of the bye.

    Nate, Matt and Charles move on to their biggest surprises & disappointments on offense and defense and their standout rookies through ten weeks, breaking down the New York Jets, Washington Commanders, the Carolina Panthers wide receivers, the Dallas Cowboys defense, the Los Angeles Chargers defense and more.

    Later, the three hosts wrap up the show with their favorite thing they've watched this season (Charles has some words on Antonio Pierce), looking back at preseason takes they made and either taking a victory lap or eating crow, their favorite niche players to watch and favorite coordinators and position coaches.

  • Ravens exploit bad Bengals defense in TNF & biggest QB surprises this season | Inside Coverage
    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

  • Week 10 lookahead: Lions-Texans deep dive, one thing to watch in EVERY game | Football 301
    Nov 8 2024

    Nate Tice is joined by Charles McDonald as they look ahead to Week 10 of the NFL season by deep diving on the biggest matchup of the weekend and giving one thing to watch in every single game.

    Nate and Charles start with the Detroit Lions taking on the Houston Texans on Sunday night, as it's hard to see how Houston can stop the Lions from dominating both sides of the ball, but Nate points out that having Joe Mixon on the field makes a big difference. Both predict a Lions win, but there is a scenario where C.J. Stroud can play enough hero ball to keep it close.

    Next, Nate and Charles give one thing to watch for every Week 10 matchup as they get into the one interesting matchup in the Munich game, a big rookie quarterback battle, the Pope sending encouraging words to the New Orleans Saints, how Bo Nix can beat the Spagnuolo defense, Jayden Daniels vs. Mike Tomlin, how Aaron Rodgers will attack the Arizona defense and much more.

    Nate finishes up with a mailbag question on the Los Angeles Chargers run game as he takes a closer look at the offense in its first year under Jim Harbaugh.

    (4:35) Detroit Lions @ Houston Texans

    (20:25) New York Giants @ Carolina Panthers

    Nov 6 2024

    Jason Fitz is joined by Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab to dive into the NFL trade deadline and determine the biggest winners and losers from Tuesday before going behind the scenes on Frank's latest NFL power rankings and giving their predictions ahead of the Thursday night AFC North showdown.

    The trio start with the winners and losers of the NFL trade deadline, as Frank and Jori disagree on which category the New Orleans Saints fall into. The hosts also cover the Washington Commanders, Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions.

    The Dallas Cowboys deserve their own chunk of the show, as the trio determine all the factors at play that led to Dallas making one of the more head-scratching moves of the season so far in acquiring WR Jonathan Mingo. Jori breaks down why Jerry Jones made the move and how the Dak Prescott injury is factoring into the Cowboys' plans for 2024 and beyond.

    Frank's latest power rankings are up, and they have a new top team. The hosts discuss the Lions taking the #1 slot, as well as the Arizona Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers before giving their predictions for the Thursday night game featuring the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens.
