Tackling the NFL

Josh and Adam are joined by 3 guests this week! Will Kisor comes on (18:24) to discuss the Bears with some hot takes about their receiving corps. Then, Colin Mashkuri and Alex Hall (34:44) become Tackling the NFL's first repeat guests as they lament the Jets season and debate what sort of hex was cast on their team. Also, Josh and Adam break down the Packers and Bucs shocker, and explain why Alex Smith isn't the biggest comeback story in the NFL so far.

Josh and Adam rank all 32 teams, and each choose one statistic that best summarizes each team's season so far. There really isn't a single stat that shows how bad the Jets are, is there? 

Sorry about the audio issues on this episode, but at least we were able to get it out this time!

Josh and Adam discuss Week 3's most important events and teams, like the Adam Gase's Jets and Carson Wentz's Eagles! Also, they look at how the Brian Daboll's play calling has completely changed the complexion of the Bills offense, and how unstoppable the Chiefs are with Patrick Mahomes clicking on all cylinders. Also, Josh presents a sneaky contender for the biggest threat to the Chiefs this year.

Josh and Adam discuss the biggest stories after Week 2, beginning with the massive wave of injuries. Seth Novak comes on (36:40) to talk about social movements within the NFL and the Steelers. Also, Adam goes on a rant about his Falcons, and Josh breaks down the Patriots goal line offense and how it's the most unstoppable weapon in the NFL.

Josh and Adam react to the first week of the NFL season. They talk about every team that played through Sunday, sharing their boldest reactions and mildest takes. Does Adam take a way-too-early victory lap about Aaron Rodgers? Listen to find out!

Josh and Adam draft players to make an 11-man platoon team. Each player needs to play both offense and defense, so choose carefully! Somehow Adam drafts two players who have never played a snap in an NFL game! Also, an update on the Jadeveon Clowney sweepstakes and a trade that could've been.

Inspired by the Shutdown Fullcast, Josh and Adam make somewhat reckless, 100% ridiculous, predictions about what will happen in the 2020 NFL season.

Josh and Adam share their favorite training camp storylines and rumors, and consider what it means when a coach treats grown men like middle schoolers. Then, they look at the NFC East and consider what's holding the Washington Football Team back from being this year's 49ers. Also, they discuss whether the Eagles should sign Jadeveon Clowney and if there's any hope for the Giants in 2020. Unsurprisingly, it gets heated when they argue about Dak Prescott and the Cowboys's offensive potential.

Josh and Adam are joined by two special guests on this episode! Colin Mashkuri and Alex Hall come on (48:45) to talk about their ill-fated love for the New York Jets and Sam Darnold's future with the team. Josh and Adam also play a game of Yea or Nay for contract extensions, and debate the value in paying up for DT's. Then, they argue about Josh Allen's future, why the Dolphins have the coolest player on the planet, and if New England is going to have their first losing record under Bill Belichick since 2000.

Josh and Adam are back with Adam's home division, the NFC South. They discuss whether his Falcons will get a defensive stop all season, and how they quietly have the GOAT on their team. Also, they talk about the Death Star that is the Saints entire roster, and the planet of Alderaan that is the Panthers roster. Finally, they wrap up with some TB (Todd Bowles) talk and less importantly, how their new QB fits into the Bucs offense.
