Nate Tice & Charles McDonald join forces to preview some very juicy matchups ahead of an exciting Week 7 slate of NFL action. The duo start with the Houston Texans visiting the Green Bay Packers, as the two hosts tell the tale of one amazing quarterback who's being set up to succeed, and another great quarterback who's doing it despite the surrounding offensive system.

Next up is the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the San Francisco 49ers in a Super Bowl rematch, as Charles breaks down why people need to calm down about the Chiefs offense not putting up explosive numbers, and Nate explains the dilemma facing Kyle Shanahan about how to attack the Steve Spagnuolo defense.

The Baltimore Ravens head to Florida to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Charles breaks down what makes the Ravens offense so unstoppable, while Nate explains how Baker and the Bucs can keep it close.

Finally, Nate and Charles deep dive on the NFC North showdown between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings. Sam Darnold had an off-game two weeks ago, and Charles wonders if that's just his floor if he's returning to the Darnold of old. On the other side of the ball, Brian Flores has to prepare for an absolute hoss fight against the bullying Detroit offense.

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

Show notes

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.

Show notes

Nate Tice & Matt Harmon give their reactions to a HUGE day of news around the NFL before dishing out takeaways from Week 6 through the lens of their top ten power rankings.

The duo start with the news that Amari Cooper has been traded to the Buffalo Bills, as both are VERY excited about what Cooper can bring to the Bills offense. Davante Adams was also traded to the New York Jets in a slightly less exciting move, but one that will no doubt help the Jets offense. In other news, Russell Wilson will reportedly get his chance to start for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Nate and Matt give their thoughts on why the (somewhat perplexing) move was made.

Later, Nate and Matt each made a top ten power rankings list separately, and they announce them live on the show before debating their biggest differences, including the Houston Texans, Green Bay Packers, Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings and more.

Jets strip Hackett of play-calling, Seahawks are not a threat & is Deshaun Watson broken beyond repair? | Inside Coverage Oct 11, 2024

Show notes

Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab react to the San Francisco 49ers 36-24 win against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night. After dominating early in the game, it seems there’s no more need for concern for Brock Purdy and the 49ers—but can the same be said of a struggling Seattle team?

Charles further breaks down the changes in the Jets organization since Robert Saleh was fired earlier this week. Is this new situation survivable beyond the end of the 2024 season for Ulbrich, Downing & Rodgers? Plus, could a Davante Adams trade possibly save the Jets’ season?

Then it’s time for QB Stock Exchange where the trio are high on Kirk Cousins but are deeply concerned about Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns.
