In an excerpt from The Read Optional Podcast, Ollie Connolly is joined by Mark Bullock to breakdown Eric Bieniemy leaving the Chiefs to the OC in Washington. They discuss:

• The latest goings on with Daniel Snyder and the ownership situation
• Whether Snyder’s pettiness will cost the team
• What went wrong for Scott Turner in 2022
• Philosophy versus scheme
• Whether it matters if someone is a play-caller or gameplan builder
• Whether you’d rather have a high-end gameplan builder or a high-end play-caller
• How NFL staffs build out and execute a plan collaboratively
• Some of the key principles of the Chiefs offense with Bieniemy and Andy Reid — and what Bieniemy can transplant to Washington
• How to separate out the design of the offense from the game-breaking players — and what will be transferable and not with the current Washington roster
• Which iteration of the Chiefs’ offense under Bieniemy would be best suited for the Commanders roster
• How Sam Howell could feature in a Bieniemy offense
• What would be the ideal offense for Howell
• What cosmetic work the Commanders would have to do this offseason to build out the right roster to maximize Howell
• A whole bunch more!

Will Gavin is joined by Liam Blackburn and Olly Hunter as they dig back into the stories from the weekend including whether Lamar Jackson can ever win the big game, what makes Matt Eberflus so special, and is time up for Jimmy G in San Francisco, and for Anthony Lynn in LA? All that plus a look ahead to the week 9 action. 

Will Gavin is joined by Matt Sherry and Simon Clancy as they run the rule over Week 7 in the NFL and look ahead to Week 8. How good were the Steelers? How bad is Cam Newton? And what exactly happened when Mike McCarthy tried to employ a 14-man analytics team? All that plus Joe Brady, violin music, and an ode to the 5pm start time. 

Will is joined by Matt and Liam to ask whether the Titans are the best team in football, what Tua's future will look like and whether it's the beginning of the end for both Mike McCarthy and Baker Mayfield. Plus, Super Bowl winning head coach Brian Billick joins us to talk Adam Gase, Arthur Smith and how you handle popular co-ordinators. 

Will Gavin is joined by Olly Hunter and new Gridiron editor Liam Blackburn - fresh off the practice squad - to reflect on the fallout from week 5 in the NFL. Together they discuss the issues faced by the Falcons in the aftermath of the Quinn/Dimitroff firing, ask just why Arthur Smith's Titans are so impressive in the redzone, and tell you where disgruntled former Jets running back Le'Veon Bell will end up. Plus, all the good, bad and ugly from around the league. 

Will, Matt and Simon talk historically bad defenses - here's looking at you Dallas; overrated offenses - oh, hey, Kliff Kingsbury; great rookie passers, bad back-up signal callers, why Indianapolis might be the best team in the AFC, and why BOB had to go. Plus, the Old Dominion Monarchs get some love, as does an old white coach. No prizes for guessing from whom. All that and a lot, lot more. 

Will is joined as always by Matt, Kalyn and Simon as they assess the good, the bad and the downright ugly from week three in the NFL. Why did Doug Pederson punt, why were the NFL Network obsessed with a beard and a moustache, and why is Matt LaFleur coaching his Green Bay socks off? Plus, Super Bowl winning head coach Brian Billick breaks down what's wrong in Baltimore, and the gang all agree that Andy Reid is the hero we all need. But why? 

Will is joined as always by Matt, Kalyn and Simon as they assess the good, the bad and the downright ugly from week two in the NFL. Matt is forced to concede that he might have been wrong about Jared Goff, whilst there's some rare praise for Josh Allen. Kalyn was in Chicago to witness the injury to Saquon and so the team discuss whether that ACL tear may actually benefit him in the long run. And Brian Billick gently chides Anthony Lynn over his caution, and himself over drafting Kyle Boller. Week two? Completed it right here.
