Why the Patriots' COVID snafu could cost Cam Newton his job Aug 25, 2021

Show notes

After a "misunderstanding" led New England Patriots QB Cam Newton out of the league's structured COVID testing protocols, the former league MVP has been sidelined all week, opening the door for rookie Mac Jones to get first team reps at a pivotal week in training camp. Meanwhile in Dallas, owner Jerry Jones continues to be a vocal proponent of vaccines and even joked on Tuesday night's Hard Knocks, "I've had more shots than a cocker spaniel."

Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo columnist Shalise Manza Young to talk about the state of the league's COVID efforts from a player perspective & a business perspective, especially as it relates to the New England Patriots & Cam Newton. They also react to Tuesday morning's trade of former first-rounder Sony Michel to the Los Angeles Rams.

Later in the podcast, Charles & Shalise have a discussion about the importance of language when discussing player movement, hold-outs and contracts; why the word, "earned" means so much and is rarely considered in the media.

They close out the episode checking in on the rocky August for the Jacksonville Jaguars, their underwhelming offensive effort in two preseason games, the season-ending injury to Travis Etienne and why it took so long for coach Urban Meyer to finally name first overall pick Trevor Lawrence the starting QB.

How will taunting penalties & fan vaccine mandates affect the season? Plus reactions from Bears, Colts & Dolphins camps Aug 19, 2021

Show notes

Two major policy edicts are poised to drastically change the fan experience both on the field and off this NFL season. Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo's Eric Edholm to dive into a breadth of topics from around the league, including the major question marks surrounding the NFL's new focus on taunting penalties and a pair of NFL teams issuing strict rules regarding entry to their stadiums.

Before they get to those topics, Charles & Eric open the show on the latest news surrounding Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson. They also remark at how quickly former first round QB Josh Rosen appears to have flamed out of the league, following being cut earlier in the week by the San Francisco 49ers.

Later, Charles explains why the league's new emphasis on taunting penalties is not-so-secretly aimed at Tyreek Hill's celebrations from last season. (15:45)

The guys investigate news that the New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders will require fans in attendance to show proof of COVID vaccination or a negative COVID test. (26:25)

Eric then shares his insights after visiting Bears-Dolphins and Colts-Panthers joint practices. When will Justin Fields take the QB1 job from Andy Dalton? Could the Fins' offensive line slow Tua Tagovailoa's progress? Is Sam Ehlinger really a possibility to start the season if Wentz is still recovering from foot surgery? (36:50)

Finally, the guys close out the show discussing a tepid second episode of Hard Knocks, followed by the news that the Jaguars and Urban Meyer parted with Tim Tebow. (55:45)

What does the Josh Allen extension mean for Baker Mayfield and the Browns? Plus dispatches from Eagles, Jets & Panthers camps Aug 11, 2021

Show notes

You know football is around the corner when the dulcet tones of Liev Schreiber and Hard Knocks grace our television screens once again. Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo's Jay Busbee for a conversation about a number of league topics, the first and foremost being Jerry Jones' sodium intake, Dak Prescott's ire at his early-camp shoulder strain, Austin Powers references and the rest of the action from episode one of this season's Hard Knocks (5:45).

Next, Charles & Jay talk about the latest on Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson, and why the team isn't looking to trade him presently as they've only received low-ball offers from the rest of the league (13:00).

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen inked a 6-year extension with the team, paying him roughly $43 million per year. Charles breaks down what this means for the two other major QBs in the 2018 draft class, Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson, and why the Browns have a lot to think about before signing the former first overall pick to a similarly lofty deal (21:00).

In the second half of the podcast, Charles talks about his major takeaways after spending time in training camp with the Cleveland Browns (32:30), New York Jets (40:15), Philadelphia Eagles (49:15) and Carolina Panthers (55:20).

Finally, the guys close out the show discussing Peyton Manning's Hall of Fame acceptance speech and why The Sheriff could be on the shortlist to replace Roger Goodell as league commissioner in the late 2020s (1:06:30).

Ticking clock on a Deshaun Watson trade & thoughts from Rams, 49ers and Broncos camps Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

As Charles Robinson traverses the country visiting training camps, there's been one question every general manager has been asking him: What's going on with Deshaun Watson? You know we're in uncharted territory when even high-powered NFL GMs don't know what's going to happen next.

Charles is joined by Yahoo's Frank Schwab this week to discuss the offseason's biggest lingering question: what are the Texans going to do with Deshaun Watson? Can we realistically expect him to be traded before the start of the season? What sort of haul could the Texans expect at this point? One thing's for certain: the NFL has not seen a situation like this before.

Later in the show, Charles & Frank talk about Carson Wentz' foot injury and how quickly the Indianapolis Colts' 2021 season went from one full of optimism to one teetering on the verge of total collapse before a single game has been played. (21:00)

In the second half of the podcast, Charles talks about the three training camps he's visited in the past week:

Do the Los Angeles Rams feel like they're about to make a return visit to the Super Bowl with Matthew Stafford under center, even after the catastrophic loss of Cam Akers? (27:20)

A quarterback battle is brewing with the San Francisco 49ers between Jimmy Garoppolo and third-overall pick Trey Lance? Which does Charles expect to win the job? (42:00)

The Denver Broncos may have the strongest roster in the league...at every position except quarterback. How can new GM George Paton overcome this obstacle and is time running out for head coach Vic Fangio? (52:30)

Rodgers' last dance, NFL's vaccine measures & 5 key impressions from Cowboys camp Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

On Friday, Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams both posted the same cryptic image on their Instagram accounts – a screenshot of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen from The Last Dance – prompting another round of paranoia in Wisconsin. Will this season be Rodgers' last dance?

Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo's Eric Edholm to discuss the latest drama in the summer-long Aaron Rodgers soap opera as many wonder whether the reigning MVP will arrive to the start of Green Bay Packers training camp this week.

The other star QB who has commanded headlines all offseason is Houston Texans passer Deshaun Watson. Charles explains why Watson arriving to camp — regardless of his guilt or innocence in the crimes alleged against him — is a positive thing for him and why this forces the Texans' hand to potentially trade him soon. (17:45)

In the second half of the show, Eric & Charles discuss the latest from Dallas Cowboys training camp, where Jerry Jones has been surprisingly vocal about getting his team fully vaccinated. Charles also outlines 5 takeaways he noticed with the team in Oxnard, California: from how Dak looked taking his first snaps to potentially growing frustrations with Amari Cooper. (33:10)

The great QB migration, Chiefs rebound chances & Urban's reign of chaos Jul 19, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to You Pod to Win the Game. Although we will never be the same without Terez Paylor, his voice will always be a part of what we do and we hope to honor him continuously through this podcast moving forward.

Charles Robinson is joined this week by Yahoo's Dan Wetzel to talk about some of the biggest stories of the offseason, starting first and foremost, with the result of the offseason's quarterback carousel. Can Matthew Stafford finally lead a winning team now that he's in Los Angeles? Is Carson Wentz' reunion with Frank Reich in Indianapolis to put the Colts over the top? What's the latest on Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson? (9:40)

Later in the show, Charles and Dan talk about two AFC teams who are sure to command a lot of attention in 2021:

After a crushing Super Bowl defeat, can the Kansas City Chiefs rebound after making new additions at offensive line? (36:45)

The Jacksonville Jaguars added Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne in the first round of the draft, not to mention Tim Tebow. But have no doubts, the spotline will be on new head coach Urban Meyer and the trail of chaos and competitiveness he brings to every role he touches. (50:45)

Super Bowl 55 Recap: Did Tom Brady & the Buccaneers just expose the Kansas City Chiefs? Feb 08, 2021

Show notes

Super Bowl LV is in the books and it wasn't the result anyone was expecting. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers routed the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 in a completely lopsided result. Patrick Mahomes couldn't get anything going despite making some of the most impressive throws of his career. Kansas City became the third team ever not to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Meanwhile Tom Brady was efficient on a play-action heavy script & the Tampa defense absolutely smothered one of the league's top five offenses.

Charles Robinson & Terez Paylor recap the game from all angles, from Byron Leftwich & Todd Bowles' exemplary coordinating jobs that will surely land them on the head coach interview circuit next year to what the Kansas City Chiefs need to do in the offseason to prevent repeat embarrassment.

Later in the show, the guys talk about the 2021 Pro Football Hall of Fame class and the Eagles reportedly being close to a deal to trade away former second overall pick Carson Wentz.

Super Bowl 55 preview: It's all about legacy for Mahomes, Brady, Reid and Arians Feb 04, 2021

Show notes

Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson chop it up one last time before Super Bowl LV where the Kansas City Chiefs travel to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the first team to ever host a Super Bowl in their home stadium.

Terez & Charles break down what each team needs to do to succeed in this legacy-defining game. Can the battered Chiefs offensive line stop a dominant Buccaneers defensive front? Will the Buccaneers secondary have what it takes to force Patrick Mahomes into a mistake? What's on the line for head coaches Andy Reid & Bruce Arians and could we see the winning coach retire after their moment of glory?
