Inside Coverage

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.

Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab join forces to give their instant reactions and takeaways from every game of the Week 10 Sunday slate. The duo kick things off by reacting to the highlight games from the weekend, including a gritty Detroit Lions W in Houston, Russell Wilson leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to a huge win and the Kansas City Chiefs dabbling in black magic once again to get a last-second win at home against the Denver Broncos.

Later, Fitz and Frank go game-by-game and give their takeaways from the other Week 10 games, as the duo discuss the New York Giants reaching a new low, Joe Flacco and Sam Darnold regressing, the Marquez Valdez-Scantling legacy game, the Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles demanding more respect, the Caleb Williams fiasco and much more before giving their picks for the Monday night matchup between the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Rams.

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.

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.

Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab join forces to give their instant reactions and takeaways to every game from Week 9 of NFL action.

The duo start with highlighting the biggest games from Sunday, including the Detroit Lions win prompting questions about if they deserve the number one spot in Frank's power rankings, the sky falling around the Dallas Cowboys and why their latest loss reveals their broken culture and the New York Giants losing to the Washington Commanders and making Fitz wonder if it's time to look for a trade partner for Daniel Jones.

Next, Fitz and Frank dive into each and every game from the Sunday slate, leading to debates and conversations over Trevor Lawrence, Jim Harbaugh being way ahead of schedule, the Denver Broncos, Bryce Young and his trade return potential, Geno Smith and more. The hosts finish up with predictions for the Monday night game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs.

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

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.

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

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.
