Jason Fitz is joined by Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab to dig deeper into the latest NFL news and storylines, including Anthony Richardson’s bench and trade deadline changes that have already happened or could happen during the next week.
Fitz, Frank and Jori begin by announcing that Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen has benched young quarterback Anthony Richardson, leading to a discussion about whether benching Richardson benching was the right decision in the long run. The hosts also discuss how this all relates to the quarterback evaluation process and how college experience can be a major asset for NFL evaluators.
Next, Fitz, Frank and Jori look at the NFL trade deadline coming up next week by explaining why the AFC’s top teams (and the New York Jets) have been so aggressive so far. The trio discusses what steps have already been taken before looking at fringe teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams, Cleveland Browns and Jets and determining if steps can be taken to put them at the top .
Later, Frank details some controversial decisions on his latest power rankings (including the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers) before the hosts end the show with their predictions for Thursday night’s game between the Jets and the Houston Texans.
