Brock Purdy and the 49ers continue to roll despite injuries across the roster, and Purdy is playing at an MVP level. The guys break down his processing, accuracy and command of Kyle Shanahan's offense, why San Francisco continues to thrive no matter who goes down and why it's time to stop treating Purdy's success like it's luck. 

Meanwhile, Dallas continues to find new ways to get in its own way. From abandoning the run near the goal line to questionable clock management and late-game decisions against Baltimore, the OGs break down why the Cowboys' problems go beyond the players on the field and why situational football continues to cost them.  

And things are getting ugly in New England. Drake Maye is struggling, the offense has stalled and the Patriots are finding out just how different this season looks after last year's success. The guys discuss what's going wrong with Maye, whether his problems can be fixed and just how much trouble the Patriots are actually in.   

Plus, the Browns and Raiders are turning heads, Michael Penix has transformed the Falcons offense, Green Bay has a serious problem up front, the Chargers somehow found another way to lose, the Rams aren't ready to panic, Pittsburgh finally got Aaron Rodgers going, Denver keeps starting slowly and much more.

No bits. No BS. Just ball.

Trey Wingo, Mark Schlereth, Merril Hoge, and Damien Woody break down which 2-0 NFL teams are legit through two weeks, and which ones are running on borrowed time. The Chiefs, Seahawks, 49ers, and Bengals all get the full buy-in from the table. The Raiders don't, despite matching the record.

The OGs are throwing their Challenge Flags after Week 1 — and this time, they're challenging teams, players and even themselves.

Trey Wingo, Mark Schlereth, Merril Hoge and Damien Woody are back after Week One, and now there is actual football to talk about.

Merril Hoge coined the term factor back when he was playing. This is his top five for the 2026 NFL season, and the tie at the bottom he refused to break.

Drake Maye finished second in the MVP voting and then became a different player in January. Seattle is the first defense he sees this season, and Seattle is not the team it was in February.

Trey Wingo, Mark Schlereth, Merril Hoge and Damien Woody are back together, and they are taking sides on the 2026 NFL season before a single snap.

This is the inaugural episode of The OG Football Show. Four guys who spent years arguing about football in green rooms and newsrooms, doing it on camera instead. No bits. No bullshit. Just ball.

Merril was a factor back in Pittsburgh and spent 21 years at ESPN. Mark won Super Bowls blocking in Denver. Damien blocked for a dynasty in New England. Trey ran the desk. The shows they did together were never the fun part. The green room was the fun part. That is this show. No fake arguments. No opinions manufactured because a segment needs heat. They are not interested in what people think. They are interested in what people know.

THE HURRY UP. Each guy names the team he is most intrigued by. Damien takes the Baltimore Ravens and a first year play caller in Declan Doyle. Mark takes the Rams and a defensive line with Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald on the same side. Merril takes the Raiders and argues the most valuable thing that organization can do this year is leave Fernando Mendoza on the bench. Trey says this might finally be the year the Dallas Cowboys figure it out. Then breakout picks: Tyler Shough, Brock Purdy, Jahmyr Gibbs and Kyler Murray in a contract year.

EVERYBODY CALM DOWN. Each guy takes a storyline the league has already decided and argues the other way. Damien on why the New England Patriots are not a regression team, and the one question about that roster he cannot answer. Mark on the Broncos, one score games, and a pass rush that generated pressure all year without generating takeaways. Merril on why you do not start a quarterback because he was picked first.

CRYSTAL BALL. All four turned in playoff seeds one through seven for both conferences, and the lists are not close. Trey is the only one with the Kansas City Chiefs in the field. Merril is the only one with the New Orleans Saints seeded third. Real disagreement about San Francisco and about whether the Houston defense can carry a quarterback.

SEASON PREDICTIONS. Rookie of the Year on both sides, Defensive Player of the Year, MVP and Super Bowl, all on the record so they can be graded in February. Mark explains why he will not vote for a quarterback for MVP under any circumstance and calls it a hill he is willing to die on. Merril says Joe Burrow is the best quarterback in football and then picks somebody else.

FACTOR BACKS. Merril coined the term as a player, and he explains what he is measuring: whether a back is a factor in the run game, the pass game and in protection. Then he runs his list, with a tie at the bottom he credits his wife for: James Cook, Saquon Barkley, Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey, Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson.

DAMIEN'S DUMPSTER FIRE. One team each with no chance. Damien on the Atlanta Falcons and a quarterback room nobody wants. Mark on the Arizona Cardinals and a division where he would not be surprised to see them go without a win. Merril on the Cleveland Browns, where the line is rebuilt, the quarterback spot has no stability, and the best player is now somewhere else. Trey makes his entire Miami Dolphins case in one sentence about where their money went.Almost all of this is falsifiable by February. That is the point of putting it on tape before Week 1. Come back at the end of the season and see who was right.
