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?

| Final 2024 season predictions: Super Bowl, MVP, more awards | Football 301 | 03 Sep 2024 | 01:15:52 | |
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.

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.

The duo dive into the Miami Dolphins' criminally underrated defense and Vic Fangio's impact, the New York Jets and whether or not they'll blow it up after the season, which teams are ready for bad weather football and Justin Fields' development as a quarterback. 3:10 - Fixing the Patriots 9:50 - Fixing the Commanders 13:30 - Fixing the Bears 18:10 - Fixing the Raiders 22:20 - Fixing the Titans 25:35 - Fixing the Giants 29:15 - Fixing the Panthers 31:05 - Fixing the Chargers 32:30 - Fixing Thursday Night Football 36:40 - Fixing the Bills 44:45 - Michael Lombardi joins the show Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Jason Fitz is joined by Yahoo Sports senior NFL reporters Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein as they go behind the scenes and attempt to get to the bottom of the latest storylines around the NFL. The hosts start with the news that Zach Wilson will be the starting quarterback of the New York Jets once again, and the hosts agree it's time we all stop talking about the Jets – they are who they are at this point in the season. Next, Fitz, Charles and Jori dive into the AFC playoff race, as the news of Trevor Lawrence's ankle injury makes the race for the first seed even more complicated. All agree that the Kansas City Chiefs' historic streak of home playoff games is especially important to maintain for them this season. Later, Charles has talked to scouts and people in NFL front offices on the projected top two picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, Caleb Williams and Drake Maye, and he breaks down what he's hearing as far as how the two prospects are seen by NFL organizations on and off the field. The Dallas Cowboys face off against the Philadelphia Eagles this week in a game that has huge implications for the NFC, and the trio break down the potential ramifications of the news that Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has appendicitis. Charles and Jori give insight into Dak Prescott's upcoming contract negotiations, as he appears to hold all of the leverage. 00:40 - Zach Wilson will start once again for the New York Jets 11:50 - AFC playoff race: can the Kansas City Chiefs get the first seed again? 18:40 - Caleb Williams vs. Drake Maye 30:55 - Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles preview 43:40 - Dak Prescott's contract negotiations and the Cowboys' future 54:05 - Did the San Francisco 49ers create a blueprint on how to beat Philadelphia?

| The real NFL MVP, AFC playoff race predictions with Tony Calatayud | The Exempt List | 05 Dec 2023 | 01:00:59 | |
Charles McDonald is joined by Tony Calatayud of the Dan LeBetard Show to dive into their takeaways from Week 13 and attempt to get to the bottom of the some of the biggest questions around the NFL this week. Charles and Tony start things off with some funny storylines from the weekend, including Zach Wilson's reluctance to start again for the New York Jets and the Philadelphia Eagles head of security getting himself and Dre Greenlaw ejected from Sunday's game. Next, the duo dive into the field of contenders for MVP in an especially weird year. While Brock Purdy is the odds-on favorite currently, neither agree he truly deserves the award (and neither does Jalen Hurts). Both agree Tyreek Hill is the most deserving, but can a non-quarterback win the MVP in 2023? Charles also believes Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen is the most deserving of the Coach of the Year award currently. Later, Charles and Tony take a look at the AFC playoff race and decide who they have more trust in between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs coming off bad losses, and who they'd be more scared to face in the playoffs between the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins. 1:15 - Zach Wilson reluctant to start for the New York Jets again? 12:10 - "Big Dom" gets himself and Dre Greenlaw ejected 19:05 - Who's the true MVP of the NFL? 48:10 - Shane Steichen for Coach of the Year 52:10 - AFC playoff race talk Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab react to every game from the Week 13 NFL Sunday slate as they attempt to get ahead of the biggest storylines of the week and give their instant analysis to every game. Fitz and Frank start off by highlighting a wild Sunday night game, where Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers made a statement that they are to be taken seriously in a tight NFC Wild Card race. The San Francisco 49ers left no doubt that they should be atop everyone's power rankings this week and the race for the first overall pick is heating up with the Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots both refusing to win games. Later, Fitz and Frank react to each and every game from the weekend, highlighting the Los Angeles Rams on a win streak and staying in the playoff hunt, C.J. Stroud and the rest of the AFC South continuing to outperform expectations, Tyreek Hill for MVP (again) and much more. The dynamic duo finish off the episode by looking ahead to the Monday night game, as the Jacksonville Jaguars will attempt to keep rolling against a Joe Burrow-less Cincinnati Bengals. 00:50 - Kansas City Chiefs @ Green Bay Packers 13:35 - San Francisco 49ers @ Philadelphia Eagles 23:40 - Los Angeles Chargers @ New England Patriots 29:10 - Arizona Cardinals @ Pittsburgh Steelers 32:50 - Carolina Panthers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35:50 - Detroit Lions @ New Orleans Saints 38:05 - Atlanta Falcons @ New York Jets 40:15 - Denver Broncos @ Houston Texans 43:45 - Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans 48:40 - Cleveland Browns @ Los Angeles Rams 52:10 - Miami Dolphins @ Washington Commanders 56:40 - MNF Preview: Cincinnati Bengals @ Jacksonville Jaguars Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Fitz and Nate go through the current playoff bracket and give letter grades for each and every quarterback and head coach combo and determine who deserves more of the credit pie. The duo also discuss some fringe playoff contenders and some of the more interesting combos on bad teams. Later, Fitz is joined by former NFL GM Michael Lombardi to discuss David Tepper's ownership style and the future of the Carolina Panthers, Brandon Staley and whether it's time for the Los Angeles Chargers to move on and how a quarterback's likability in the locker room can indirectly define their success. 1:25 - Grading head coach/quarterback combos from playoff teams 21:20 - Grading head coach/quarterback combos from fringe playoff teams and teams that suck 53:50 - Michael Lombardi on the Panthers, Chargers and the importance of quarterback likability Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Jason Fitz is joined by Yahoo Sports Senior NFL Reporters Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein to go behind the scenes of the Frank Reich firing as they attempt to get to the root of the issues that have been plaguing the Panthers over the last few years. The trio discuss what led to Reich not making it through his first season, Bryce Young's future and how the Carolina Panthers plan to build around their young quarterback and how owner David Tepper needs to adjust his leadership style for the sake of the organization. Later, Fitz, Charles and Jori react to the breaking news that Aaron Rodgers has been designated to return to practice and cleared for "functional football activity." After expressing disbelief at how quickly Rodgers has recovered, the trio analyze why Rodgers is attempting to make this daring comeback and what has to go right for the New York Jets this season to make this work.

Charles McDonald is joined by the Ringer's Steven Ruiz to react to the firing of Panthers Head Coach Frank Reich, their takeaways from Week 12 of the NFL and Steven's infamous quarterback rankings. The duo start off with the Frank Reich firing as they discuss the future of the Panthers organization and how they can support Bryce Young, who looks completely overwhelmed on the field right now. Next, Charles and Steven dive into their takeaways from Week 12. Discourse has emerged around Josh Allen and Justin Herbert due to their disappointing seasons thus far, but Charles steps in to defend both quarterbacks, who are actually having great seasons. Charles and Steven discuss how we might be overrating how important interceptions are to measuring quarterback play. Later, Steven defends the latest edition of his quarterback rankings, as the duo debate over Justin Herbert at #2, C.J. Stroud at #15, Brock Purdy towards the bottom, Sam Howell at #24 and Derek Carr in the middle of the pack. 00:50 - Carolina Panthers fire Frank Reich 18:15 - Week 12 takeaways: Josh Allen, Justin Herbert & more 33:10 - Steven defends his QB rankings: Justin Herbert 38:50 - Should C.J.

Jason Fitz is joined by Yahoo Sports Senior NFL Reporter Jori Epstein to go behind the scenes and get the inside scoop on the biggest NFL storylines of the week. Fitz and Jori kick things off with the New York Jets announcing that Zach Wilson is benched and Tim Boyle will be the starter going forward. Although Wilson showed improvement, both agree this is a move that needed to be made. The Pittsburgh Steelers fired OC Matt Canada, which will allow them to properly evaluate Kenny Pickett. Next, Fitz and Jori dive into a Thanksgiving edition of Panic Meter, as they determine whether or not it's time to panic about C.J.

| Rookie QB progress reports; CeeDee Lamb, Brandon Aiyuk & Haason Reddick contract disputes | Inside Coverage | 14 Aug 2024 | 00:56:25 | |
Charles Robinson joins Frank Schwab direct from his training camp tour to go behind the scenes on the latest news around the NFL. The duo start with the Haason Reddick drama in New York, as Charles thinks Reddick will eventually run out of leverage as the situation progresses. JJ McCarthy will undergo surgery for a torn meniscus, which is a big setback after a very promising performance in preseason Week 1. The CeeDee Lamb contract dispute continues, and Charles thinks both Lamb's and JaMarr Chase's holdouts are very different than the Reddick one because they possess much more leverage. He expects a deal to get done for Lamb, but is less optimistic about Chase. Charles has gotten a good look at many of the rookie quarterbacks, and gives his thoughts on Drake Maye's slow start, Jayden Daniels' first preseason action and Caleb Williams' insane arm talent. Finally, Frank and Charles wrap the show up with thoughts on the wide receiver market, and how Amon-Ra St. Brown's contract extension earlier this year has affected players like Brandon Aiyuk, who Charles thinks might actually end up signing back with the San Francisco 49ers. (2:30) New York Jets and Haason Reddick have reached a stalemate (10:45) What the JJ McCarthy injury means for Minnesota (19:15) CeeDee Lamb and Ja'Marr Chase holdouts are tricky situations (27:30) Evaluating rookie quarterback preseason performances (41:30) One deal that changed the WR market (45:50) Where will Brandon Aiyuk play in 2024?

Charles McDonald is joined by Frank Schwab to give their takeaways from Week 11 of the NFL season and react to the latest news around the league. The duo dive into the benching of Zach Wilson, the Bears blowing a huge lead late and what Justin Fields has to do to keep the job next season, Patrick Mahomes' receivers letting him down once again on Monday night and the return of Desmond Ridder. Next, Charles and Frank react to the firing of Steelers OC Matt Canada as they attempt to determine how much of the blame pie Canada deserves for Pittsburgh's offensive struggles. Both agree Kenny Pickett is showing he's not the guy at quarterback. Charles also announces the breaking news that Colts LB Shaq Leonard is being released, and the hosts discuss the odd timing and some potential landing spots if he becomes available. Finally, the duo celebrate the holiday week by each giving something they're thankful for. Charles is thankful for Brock Purdy and the 49ers for putting out one of the prettiest offensive products we've seen in years when at full strength. Frank is thankful for the Lions being fun to watch and finally worth tuning into on Thanksgiving Day. 2:05 - Zach Wilson bowls over Robert Saleh on the sideline, gets benched 11:05 - Chicago Bears blow a big lead, but Justin Fields impresses 20:30 - Patrick Mahomes' receivers let him down again 28:30 - The return of Desmond Ridder 34:50 - Pittsburgh Steelers fire OC Matt Canada: can their offense be fixed? 42:55 - Breaking news: Shaq Leonard released by the Indianapolis Colts 49:30 - What we're thankful for: the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab join forces to recap NFL Week 11 and get ahead of the biggest storylines to come out of a bizarre Sunday slate. The dynamic duo start by highlighting a few of the bigger outcomes, including the Broncos crawling out of the grave and putting the league on notice against the Vikings, the Lions proving to us all that these aren't your grandpa's Detroit Lions (and the Bears choking historically), the Browns continuing to pull out ugly wins and the Jets once again falling short because of lackluster quarterback play (the Zach Wilson era might be over). Later, Fitz and Frank discuss each and every game from the Sunday slate and give their instant takeaways. They address whether or not Brandon Staley should still have a job, the wheels falling off in Tennessee, the Raiders keeping it close and more before they finish off the show with a preview of Monday night's huge matchup between the two best teams in the NFL in the Chiefs and Eagles. 1:20 - Minnesota Vikings @ Denver Broncos 6:50 - Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions 12:50 - Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns 19:20 - New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills 25:30 - Los Angeles Chargers @ Green Bay Packers 29:40 - New York Giants @ Washington Commanders 31:55 - Dallas Cowboys @ Carolina Panthers 33:05 - Las Vegas Raiders @ Miami Dolphins 40:50 - Tennessee Titans @ Jacksonville Jaguars 43:55 - San Francisco 49ers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers 47:50 - Arizona Cardinals @ Houston Texans 53:05 - Seattle Seahawks @ Los Angeles Rams 54:45 - Philadelphia Eagles @ Kansas City Chiefs preview Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Jason Fitz is joined by fantasy expert Andy Behrens to blur the lines of fantasy and reality as they attempt to determine who's at fault for some of the most disappointing fantasy seasons compared to expectations so far, including Calvin Ridley, Tony Pollard, Dameon Pierce, Trevor Lawrence, Christian Watson and Aaron Jones. Later, Fitz and Andy go back and forth with some start and sit recommendations for Week 11. Next, former All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman joins the show to discuss Josh Allen and Trevor Lawrence and whether or not they're meeting expectations, Antonio Pierce and the Raiders and what it means to a locker room to have a coach that played the game, Richard's favorite up-and-coming cornerbacks to watch and more. Finally, Fitz is joined as always by former NFL GM Michael Lombardi to dive into some of the biggest storylines to watch this week. Fitz and Michael discuss the dysfunction in the Browns organization and how the power dynamic in an NFL front office can make placing blame or responsibility for mistakes very difficult. The duo also discuss the Bills and whether or not they're built for success and who is built for playoff football as the weather starts to turn. 5:55 - Who's to blame for Dameon Pierce's lack of production for the Houston Texans? 10:20 - Why has Tony Pollard underperformed for the Dallas Cowboys so far? 14:10 - Calvin Ridley and Trevor Lawrence haven't clicked yet: why? 19:20 - Why have Christian Watson and Aaron Jones not produced? 22:25 - Start & sit for for your Week 11 fantasy matchups 38:35 - Richard Sherman joins the show! 46:45 - Michael Lombardi on the Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills and which teams are built for cold weather football Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

| Inside the Browns' front office perspective as Deshaun Watson out for season | Inside Coverage | 15 Nov 2023 | 00:53:31 | |
Jason Fitz is joined by Senior NFL Reporters Jori Epstein and Charles Robinson to go behind the scenes on the biggest storylines of the week. First up is the news that Browns QB Deshaun Watson will undergo season-ending surgery on his throwing shoulder. This carries massive implications for the Browns both this year and in the future given what they gave up for Watson, and Charles takes us inside the Browns front office to shed light on some of the decisions that led them to this point, including who is to blame for some of the roster's shortcomings. Later, the trio react to the Bills firing OC Ken Dorsey and discuss how this season went south for a team that was expected to be in Super Bowl contention. The group discuss Josh Allen and his apparent regression, the leadership of Sean McDermott and what the future of the Bills could hold if they continue to struggle. Finally, the hosts discuss the Jets and how Robert Saleh's continued defense of Zach Wilson could cause issues in the locker room. Jori analyzes Saleh's media strategy and points out that while Saleh is appeasing both Zach Wilson and Aaron Rodgers, he could start to lose the team's faith if the Jets continue to lose. 00:30 - Inside the Cleveland Browns front office as Deshaun Watson is out for the season 28:20 - Buffalo Bills fire OC Ken Dorsey 43:05 - Is Robert Saleh handling Zach Wilson the right way?

| Reacting to Week 10's most egregious takes with Benjamin Solak | The Exempt List | 14 Nov 2023 | 00:57:15 | |
Charles McDonald is joined by The Ringer's Benjamin Solak as they recap Week 10 by reacting to some of the hottest takes that were thrown around the NFL media space so far this week. But first, the duo discuss a few of the funniest stories from the weekend, including the Jaguars players admitting they didn't know what they were doing against the 49ers on Sunday, Aaron Rodgers setting an unlikely return date and the Bills melting down and placing 12 men on the field to hand the Broncos a win on Monday night. Next, Charles and Ben grade some hot takes from NFL media personalities on how hot they really are: Mike Greenberg claims Josh Allen is the new Brett Favre, Shannon Sharpe doesn't trust Lamar Jackson, Colin Cowherd thinks it's time to fire Brandon Staley, Stephen A. Smith thinks Patriots fans are ready to fire Bill Belichick and Dan Orlovsky says C.J. Stroud is now the frontrunner for MVP. During the pod, the duo also react live to the firing of Bills OC Ken Dorsey. Charles and Ben finish off the show by taking a look at the AFC playoff picture and predicting how it will play out going forward. They both think the Steelers are fraudulent and expect the Bengals to pull ahead by the end of the season. 2:55 - Jacksonville Jaguars players didn't know what they were doing on Sunday 10:30 - Aaron Rodgers aims for a mid-December return 20:05 - Buffalo Bills have a meltdown on Monday night 25:30 - Is Josh Allen the new Brett Favre? 31:10 - Shannon Sharpe doesn't trust Lamar Jackson 35:55 - Is it time to fire Brandon Staley? 41:15 - Are New England Patriots fans ready for a new era without Bill Belichick? 45:55 - Is C.J.

Nate Tice is joined by the great Charles McDonald to break down a few of the most intriguing position groups or units to watch this NFL season, whether good, interesting or primed for implosion. The duo start off the show with the news that Minnesota Vikings first-round pick J.J. McCarthy will undergo knee surgery, as the two give their (surprisingly positive) thoughts on presumed Week 1 starter Sam Darnold. Next, Nate and Charles give their two units to watch that should impress this season: the Chicago Bears back seven and the Detroit Lions secondary, both improved over last season. The most interesting units to keep an eye on are the Green Bay Packers defensive front, the New York Jets offensive line, the San Francisco 49ers defensive backs and the new additions to the Kansas City Chiefs offense. Some unit groups already look like they're ready to implode before our eyes this season. Nate and Charles highlight (lowlight?) the Atlanta Falcons defense, the Jacksonville Jaguars offensive line and the Cincinnati Bengals defensive line. The duo finish off the show with a lightning round of their favorite individual performances from Week 1 of NFL preseason action. (3:30) J.J. McCarthy to undergo knee surgery (10:20) Chicago Bears & Detroit Lions both have very underrated secondaries (21:45) Most interesting units: Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs (47:05) Implosion candidates: Atlanta Falcons defense, Jacksonville Jaguars offense, Cincinnati Bengals defensive line (1:01:40) Preseason standout performances Subscribe to Football 301 on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/46gILkF 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3A4mYAD 📢Yahoo Sports podcast network: https://apple.co/3zEuT 💸 Sign up for a Yahoo fantasy football league for a chance to win one million dollars! 🏈 Draft your team on Yahoo Fantasy before September 5th for one entry.

Charles and GoJo kick things off by reacting to some of the weirdest stories from the weekend, including Sean Payton getting existential as he asks why he can't be happy. Bijan Robinson was basically held out of the Falcons game on Sunday despite not being on the injury report, prompting an investigation by the NFL. Things are starting to crumble in Washington, as Jonathan Allen had some choice words to describe his frustration after the loss on Sunday, and Sam Howell is on pace for 97 sacks, which would blow the old sack record out of the water. Next, Charles and GoJo dive into what they learned from the on-the-field action. The duo discuss the Ravens putting it all together against the Lions, the Kansas City Chiefs becoming the top team in the NFL, whether or not the Dolphins were exposed against the Eagles, whether or not Mike Tomlin is using dark magic to get the Steelers to 4-2, the Deshaun Watson trade looking worse than ever and if the Bills situation is fixable this season. 1:30 - Sean Payton asks why he can't just be happy 6:20 - Bijan Robinson had one carry on Sunday 12:10 - Jonathan Allen is not happy with the state of the Washington Commanders 17:00 - Sam Howell is on pace to smash the sack record 20:30 - The Baltimore Ravens are finally clicking 24:45 - The Kansas City Chiefs are the best team in the NFL 28:30 - Did the Miami Dolphins get exposed on Sunday? 32:50 - Mike Tomlin is is putting on a master class to have the Pittsburgh Steelers at 4-2 36:10 - The Deshaun Watson trade is officially a failure 40:20 - The upcoming offseason will define the Buffalo Bills franchise 42:25 - Answering voicemails from listeners Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

| Week 7 Recap: Bad teams looked good and good teams looked bad | Sunday Night Blitz | 23 Oct 2023 | 01:01:52 | |
Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab give their instant takeaways and analysis from an interesting Week 7 slate of NFL games. Fitz and Frank kick things off by reacting to some of the more interesting results from Sunday, including the Eagles knocking off the Dolphins as we now have to wonder if the Dolphins can beat a good team. The Ravens offense finally clicked as they steamrolled a hyped-up Lions team, Deshaun Watson was oddly held out of a close game in Indianapolis as the Browns beat the Colts without his help, and the Bills suffered yet another devastating loss, this time at the hands of the Patriots and Bill Belichick, who proved why he is still one of the greatest coaches ever. Fitz and Frank move on to discussing the rest of Sunday's games one by one as they debate over the Raiders' meltdown, how much to trust the Seahawks, Jordan Love's unceremonious fall back to Earth, whether or not we're overrating Justin Herbert and much more. 2:40 - Miami Dolphins @ Philadelphia Eagles 8:10 - Detroit Lions @ Baltimore Ravens 13:45 - Cleveland Browns @ Indianapolis Colts 19:10 - Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots 24:25 - Las Vegas Raiders @ Chicago Bears 28:50 - Washington Commanders @ New York Giants 31:10 - Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers 33:55 - Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks 37:30 - Green Bay Packers @ Denver Broncos 43:35 - Pittsburgh Steelers @ Los Angeles Rams 49:10 - Los Angeles Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs 57:25 - MNF Preview: San Francisco 49ers @ Minnesota Vikings Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Jason Fitz is joined by former NFL GM Mike Tannenbaum to give his unique perspective on the NFL by going through every NFL division and giving a team Mike is buying stock in and one he's selling from each. Fitz and Mike go in-depth on the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears and more before finishing things off with "Tannenbaum's Top Tier:" the four teams Mike thinks have the legs to win the Super Bowl this season. Later, Fitz is joined as always by another former GM, Michael Lombardi, to discuss the topics Michael thinks are flying under the radar this week: the Los Angeles Chargers and their inability to win close games, the Detroit Lions and Jared Goff's career revival and the red zone troubles which have been a problem for offenses league-wide this season. 1:20 - NFC East 3:45 - NFC North 10:20 - AFC East 13:00 - AFC North 15:40 - NFC South 17:35 - NFC West 19:55 - AFC South 22:55 - AFC West 26:50 - Tannenbaum's Top Tier: San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills 30:45 - Michael Lombardi on Bruce Springsteen, the Los Angeles Chargers, the Detroit Lions and league-wide red zone struggles Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Jason Fitz is joined by Senior NFL Reporters Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein to pull back the curtain on the latest news from around the NFL. The trio start things off with the return of Kyler Murray to the Arizona Cardinals, the fallout from Anthony Richardson's season-ending injury (and Jori's one-on-one conversation with Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay), Frank Reich relinquishing play-calling duties and Jalen Ramsey's return to the Miami Dolphins. Next, Charles gives his thoughts on who will be buying and selling at the trade deadline. The group discuss Brian Burns and some potential landing spots that make sense. To finish the show, Jori was at the NFL owner's meetings in New York and she gives a behind-the-scenes view on what she's been hearing about the banning of the "hip drop tackle," Roger Goodell's contract extension and next year's international games. 2:30 - Kyler Murray returns from IR 8:00 - Anthony Richardson is out for the season 15:55 - Frank Reich relinquishes play-calling duties 20:35 - Jalen Ramsey returns to the Dolphins 25:10 - Trade deadline buyers and sellers 34:30 - Owner's meetings news and analysis: hip drop tackle, Roger Goodell, international games Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

| Friskiest teams of the 2024 NFL season | Football 301 | 08 Aug 2024 | 01:05:30 | |
Nate Tice is joined by the great Charles McDonald to determine the "friskiest" NFL teams this season. Nate and Charles start by defining "frisky" as any team with a win total below 9 games that will be a tough out for any opponent. The duo highlight the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans as the friskiest of the bunch, before highlighting why people might be sleeping on the Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Nate and Charles finish off the show with two "reverse frisky" teams (teams with a sub-9 win total that deserve to be even lower): the Los Angeles Chargers, who are still at least a year away, and the Washington Commanders, who have built a comparatively small and slow roster that doesn't appear ready to beat many NFL teams this season. (3:20) The Arizona Cardinals will surprise people this year (12:30) The Tennessee Titans added a ton of good players (22:55) The Seattle Seahawks are being slept on (28:00) The New England Patriots are not the worst team in the league (37:55) The Tampa Bay Buccaneers brought back all their good players (46:10) The Los Angeles Chargers are at least a year away (53:40) What are the Washington Commanders doing?

| Receivers on the trade block, young WR status report with Matt Harmon | The Exempt List | 17 Oct 2023 | 01:03:52 | |
Charles McDonald is joined by the great Matt Harmon, host of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Show, to talk all things wide receivers. But first, the duo react to some funny things from the sports weekend, including the conspiracy theory around the enthusiastic Los Angeles Chargers fan, Aaron Rodgers' comments on his return from injury and the Tyreek Hill backflip celebration. Next, Charles and Matt discuss a few receivers who have been rumored to be on the trade block heading into the NFL trade deadline, including Justin Jefferson, Davante Adams and the Denver Broncos WRs (Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton). Finally, Charles leans on Matt's expertise on the wide receiver position to give a status report on some rookie and sophomore wideouts, including Quentin Johnston, Zay Flowers, Puka Nacua, Drake London and Jahan Dotson (plus: what's wrong with the Washington Commanders offense?) 2:05 - Things we saw during Week 6: the "fake" Chargers fan, Aaron Rodgers on his return and Tyreek Hill's "excessive" celebration 23:55 - Could Justin Jefferson get traded in the next few weeks? 28:30 - Would the Las Vegas Raiders be willing to trade Davante Adams? 37:20 - Is it time for the Denver Broncos to give Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy a fresh start? 41:55 - Rookie WR check-in: Quentin Johnston, Zay Flowers and Puka Nacua 51:25 - Sophomore WR check-in: Drake London and Jahan Dotson Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Jason Fitz is joined by Frank Schwab to recap each and every game from the Sunday Week 6 NFL slate. The dynamic duo highlight the Buffalo Bills' narrow escape from the New York Giants, the undefeated teams' first losses as the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles fell to the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets, respectively (which leads to a debate over who is the best team in the NFL six weeks in) and the Baltimore Ravens beating the Tennessee Titans in London, as the Titans appear to be broken.
