Yahoo Sports NFL – Details, episodes & analysis

Jason Fitz is joined by Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab to take a deeper dive into some more nuanced conversation around NFL teams in a segment called "Two Things Can Be True." The trio discuss the San Francisco 49ers' odd, bad-vibes offseason and their concern level for the team at the start of the season, the Denver Broncos and whether the Sean Payton-Bo Nix hype needs to be tempered, the New England Patriots and whether or not Drake Maye being the better quarterback means he should be the starter and the Kansas City Chiefs and why their winning formula may or may not be repeatable.

Fitz, Frank and Jori finish the show off with their predictions for the Thursday night season opener between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs.

(6:50) Can the 49ers overcome an unusual offseason?

(19:10) What are reasonable expectations for the 2024 Broncos?

(26:30) Who deserves to start Week 1 for the Patriots?

(34:35) Can the Chiefs winning formula be recreated?

(47:30) Ravens @ Chiefs preview

Nate Tice is joined by Charles McDonald and Matt Harmon to give their final predictions ahead of the 2024 NFL season, including awards like MVP and rookies of the year, division winners, Super Bowl champs and more.

The trio start off with their picks for Offensive & Defensive Player of the Year (one chalky and one dark horse), as Ceedee Lamb is the favorite, but Charles likes Nico Collins as a dark horse. For Offensive & Defensive Rookie of the Year, the trio discuss Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Byron Murphy, Dallas Turner, Blake Corum and more. The hosts have three different answers for Coach of the Year and Comeback Player of the Year before moving on to MVP, where Matt likes C.J. Stroud to take a big year two leap, and Charles gets as chalky as you can get.

Later, Nate, Charles and Matt move on to their division winners and playoff teams, as they agree on every AFC division winner but disagree on some key NFC divisions. All three have the Kansas City Chiefs making the Super Bowl, but the NFC teams are all different. Nate gives the Green Bay Packers as his Super Bowl champ.

Two-time All-Pro Gerald McCoy and two-time Super Bowl champ Kyle Van Noy join forces for the premiere episode of their new podcast — where two legendary defensive players, one still in the game, and one who recently got out of it — chat about the ins and outs of life in the NFL.

(04:15) - Russell Wilson vs. Justin Fields in Pittsburgh

(15:30) - Has Daniel Jones lost the Giants’ trust?

(25:05) - Gardner Minshew named Raiders starting QB

(29:40) - Cowboys financial crunch: Can they sign CeeDee & Dak?

(40:00) - Aiyuk & Williams “hold in” for the 49ers

(48:15) - Why aren’t Penix & Bryce Young playing in the preseason?

(56:15) - Toyota Drive to Win: Preseason week 2

Quarterback controversies, holdouts, hold-ins and the curious use of a Spiderman meme — all can be found in the premiere episode of McCoy & Van Noy. Two-time All-Pro Gerald McCoy and two-time Super Bowl champ Kyle Van Noy join forces for the premiere episode of their new podcast — where two legendary defensive players, one still in the game, and one who recently got out of it — chat about the ins and outs of life in the NFL.

Gerald & Kyle kick things off discussing the QB battle in Pittsburgh, where Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are vying for the number 1 spot. In other troubling QB situations, the guys also touch on the Las Vegas Raiders naming Gardner Minshew the starter over Aidan O'Connell and in New York, Daniel Jones' troubling Week 2 preseason performance with two INTs thrown in a loss to the Houston Texans.

Later in the show, the guys discuss the summer's two football hottest topics: the situations in Dallas and San Francisco, where wideouts CeeDee Lamb and Brandon Ayiuk are expecting massive new deals. Aiyuk has requested a trade, while Lamb...it somehow involves Spiderman and it's complicated.

Fitz and Connor spend some time discussing Connor's New York Jets and who's to blame for their utter failure of a season (Joe Douglas?) before diving into this year's loaded draft class.

Later, Fitz is joined as always by the great Michael Lombardi to get a former GM's perspective on the latest stories around the NFL. Fitz and Michael go back and forth on the Buffalo Bills and whether they could still win the AFC East, the Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins facing off this weekend in a battle of good-not-great and why Brock Purdy deserves the MVP award.

Jason Fitz is joined Senior NFL Reporters Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein to go behind the scenes on the biggest storylines around the NFL. The trio start with the Philadelphia Eagles' coaching changes on defense, as they now have Matt Patricia as de facto defensive coordinator. Were the Eagles right to make big changes despite their great record? In other news, potential coach of the year candidates DeMeco Ryans and Kevin Stefanski face off this weekend, both with backup quarterbacks. Jim Harbaugh has been linked to the Los Angeles Chargers, and the trio discuss what they're hearing as far as whether or not the coaching legend will return to the NFL.

Jori and Charles are two of the 50 voters for MVP this season, and Fitz picks their brain over who is in the lead, whether a non-quarterback has a shot and Brock Purdy vs. Christian McCaffrey.

The hosts finish things off with a discussion around the Chicago Bears and their looming decision at quarterback. Charles spoke with thirteen NFL general managers to get their thoughts, and the general consensus is that the Bears should move on and take Caleb Williams with the first overall pick. But is there anything Justin Fields could do to change their mind?
