Tim also tells us why he expects a big rebound for the Patriots defense as well as their team as a whole. Next up Tim talks about the Jets and rookie quarterback Zach Wilson. He tells us why despite what he showed in the preseason this is most likely going to be an uphill battle for Wilson and the Jets.

In today’s episode Tim “The Ferds” goes down south to visit the AFC teams that reside there. Tim starts off by quickly dismissing the Texans especially if DeShaun Watson is not going to be playing but he explains how funny he finds it that they added every old running back on the planet to one team.

Tim finally gets to the only two teams who actually have a chance in the Titans and Colts. Tim explains why the Colts are dependent on Carson Wentz’s health and why they could run the table in the AFC if he is out there. As for Tennessee it comes down to one thing, and that one thing is defense.

In today’s episode Tim “The Ferds” discusses his favorite division the AFC West. He starts off with the Las Vegas Raiders and explains to us why he is still very confused to what is going on there.

Derek Carr has been improving every year under Gruden but will it be enough to get them into the playoffs after another collapse last season. Next up Tim goes to Denver to talk about the Broncos scary defense.

Tim also explains why Carson Wentz’s mental abilities would be greatly impacted by a big dick Nick Foles trade. Tim quickly explains why he thinks almost every team should be in on Jeff Gladney despite the negative PR that would come with him. For the main portion of the episode Tim tells us why the Eagles and Giants are in the same boat when it comes to their quarterback but why Daniel Jones could lead the franchise down a very slippery slope if he doesn’t pan out this season. Next up with the Cowboys Tim explains why it is going to come down to the defense to save Mike McCarthy’s job, and why he is already nervous about Dak Prescott.
