It’s NFC week! Who’s ready? On this pod, we cover a lot of ground, including:
Eagles - Vic Fangio’s masterful gameplan and Jalen Carter’s brilliance crushed a previously humming Saints offense. How did Fangio do it? Could Philly’s defense be turning the corner? What did they expose about New Orleans?
Saints - New Orleans battering ram of an offense came to a screeching halt in Week 3. Do they have potentially significant offensive line concerns? Are they capable of playing more than one way when their bread-and-butter gets shut down? How did Derek Carr’s old demons creep back up on Sunday?
Rams - A masterful Stafford & McVay comeback with a bunch of backups was the highlight of Sunday’s action. We walk through key sequences of the game, detailing how the Rams approach was a winning one. What personnel change was a catalyst for the Rams success on offense? How did they find enough answers without so many key pieces on that side of the ball?
Bucs - The Bucs cannot run the ball, and their desire to base out of a wide-zone rushing attack is failing miserably. What are the biggest issues? How many are fixable? Are Rachaad White and Bucky Irving part of the problem or the solution (or neither)?
Panthers - Dalton is back! And he looked like the best QB in the NFL in Week 3. What specific elements did he bring to the Panthers offense with his play? How did he dissect the Raiders blitz-heavy approach? How competitive are the Panthers moving forward?
Cowboys - Why was Dallas so miserable against the run (again) in Week 3? Which players are most responsible for the team’s complete inability to stop opposing ground games? Are there answers the team can find without making an outside move?
Cardinals - Drew Petzing is cooking in Arizona. How are the Cardinals maximizing Marvin Harrison Jr? Is Arizona’s player development getting enough attention? How does the volatility of Kyler Murray play into all of this?
Giants - Malik Nabers is on a historic pace of production for a rookie wide receiver. How is Brian Daboll featuring him in the Giants offense? How complete is Nabers skill set already? Are there any players we can comp him to three weeks into his career?
Why can't the Cowboys stop the run?
