  • 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?

  • Jason Fitz is joined by Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab to get the inside scoop on the latest news around the NFL, including CeeDee Lamb and the Dallas Cowboys, Jori's takeaways from her training camp tour stops in Philadelphia and New England and some head coaches who may be on the hot seat heading into the season.

    CeeDee Lamb has his new mega-contract, which sparks some debate about the future of the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott, and whether or not we expect Prescott to be on the team next season.

    Jori wrapped up her training camp tour in New England and Philadelphia, and debate ensues over whether or not Drake Maye should start for the New England Patriots Week 1, and whether or not the Philadelphia Eagles can endure their losses from the offseason.

    Finally, Frank wrote a piece earlier this week on head coaches on the hot seat, and the trio discuss how hot the seats of Mike McCarthy, Robert Saleh, Brian Daboll and Matt Eberflus are heading into Week 1.

  • Jason Fitz is joined by Charles Robinson and Frank Schwab to discuss all the latest around the NFL, including drama surrounding both Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr, Charles' insights from his training camp tour and making predictions for how many games a few key quarterbacks will start this season. The trio start with Tua Tagovailoa's comments around his relationship with former Miami Dolphins HC Brian Flores, as the group have a discussion around how important it is for coaches to connect with their players. Meanwhile, Michael Penix Jr. will not play again this preseason, sparking questions around what the Atlanta Falcons have planned for Penix this season.

    Next, Charles gives his insights from latest stops on his training camp tour, including the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens.

    Finally, the hosts go around the horn predicting how many games some key quarterbacks will start, including Bo Nix, Gardner Minshew, Russell Wilson and Drake Maye.

    (3:05) Why the Brian Flores and Tua Tagovailoa relationship went south

    (12:45) Why is Michael Penix Jr. not playing more in preseason?

  • 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.

  • Jason Fitz, Frank Schwab and Jori Epstein pull back the curtain and go behind the scenes on some of the biggest stories circulating around the NFL. Trade rumors surrounding star San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk have been heating up over the past few days, and Fitz and Frank give their thoughts on potential destinations and why the 49ers should still be trying to sign him to a long-term deal.

    Next, Jori Epstein joins the show from her nation-wide training camp tour to discuss a few players that are worth keeping an eye on in preseason as potential breakout candidates this year, including Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze, Joe Alt, AD Mitchell, Andre Iosivas and more.

    Later, Fitz and Frank discuss an article detailing a divide between Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni that deepened during the team's late-season skid last year. The duo discuss how deep this divide really is, whether it can be solved this season and where the Eagles can go from here after an extremely awkward end to 2023.

    (3:00) Will Brandon Aiyuk be a San Francisco 49er in 2024?

    (27:50) Jori's top players to watch during preseason

    (48:45) Can Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni repair the divide between them?

  • Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab get together and throw a few QBs in the confidence meter before giving their way too early Super Bowl LIX picks.

    (07:15) - Bears & D.J. Moore agree on 4-year extension

    (10:00) - Jets QB Aaron Rodgers unlikely to play in preseason

    (23:30) - QB Confidence Meter: 49ers

    (30:55) - QB Confidence Meter: Steelers / Colts

    (39:15) - QB Confidence Meter: Bengals / Vikings

    (46:00) - QB Confidence Meter: Broncos

    (48:40) - Schwab Island: Super Bowl LIX picks

    On this episode of Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab go through some of the more confusing QB situations in the NFL and grade them on a made-up confidence meter, but first…

    The Bears signed WR D.J. Moore to the largest contract in team history, and everyone agrees that it’s a good deal and a smart move for both sides.

    It appears as though Aaron Rodgers will skip playing in the NFL preseason for the New York Jets after missing all of last season with a torn Achilles. How will he be able to knock the rust off? Is this a sign that the team, or the player, is in control of the situation?

    Finally, it’s time to get into the QB Confidence Meter. The guys start in San Francisco, where Frank says that the 49ers shouldn’t pay Brock Purdy and shouldn’t pay any QB that isn’t on a rookie contract. It’s a bold idea!

    Fitz says that Russell Wilson is washed up in Pittsburgh, but even if Russ plays well this year…then what? The Steelers don’t want to pay him what the market says he’s worth. Another unknown is in Indianapolis, where Anthony Richardson has a sky-high ceiling but hasn’t played very much the past two seasons.

    Fitz says that Joe Burrow is the 2nd best QB in the NFL, but there’s going to continue to be concerns about whether he can stay healthy. Meanwhile, the Vikings are betting on a rookie QB that barely threw the ball in college.

    On Broncos rookie QB Bo Nix, both guys agree that he needs to start for Sean Payton’s team immediately. Fitz has some homework to back up a strong claim he has about Bo Nix being the next Nathan Peterman.

    Finally, we put Frank on “Schwab Island” and make him defend his Super Bowl LIX pick before Fitz gives his own pick for who will be taking home the Lombardi Trophy.

  • Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab pick 6 NFL teams and play a game of “Angels & Devils” to predict the best case and worst case scenarios for each team.

    (08:10) - Green Bay Packers

    (15:00) - Los Angeles Rams

    (20:20) - Dallas Cowboys

    (27:00) - Los Angeles Chargers

    (31:46) - New York Jets

    (39:45) - Buffalo Bills

    (45:15) - Hammer It: MVP

    On this episode of Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab pick 6 NFL teams and play a game of “Angels & Devils” to predict the best case and worst case scenarios for each team.

    They start with the Packers, who still have something to prove in the regular season, and then move onto the Rams. Frank says Matt Stafford is coming off the best season of his career and that Sean McVay is energized, so why is Fitz down on the Rams?

    The guys try their best to disagree on the Dallas Cowboys but end up just agreeing with each other, and maybe disagreeing with everyone else, about America’s Team and what we can expect from them in the regular season.

    The Chargers have Jim Harbaugh, but does that mean they’ll immediately be better? Or maybe worse? Once again, the guys struggle to disagree on this one.

    Frank picks the Jets as the #1 seed in the AFC but explains why it makes sense, and Fitz is waiting for the inevitable meltdown if the Jets aren’t great. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills might excel without the weight of big expectations on them for once.

    Finally, we close the show with “Hammer It”, where the guys each tell you who they would put money on to win the NFL MVP Award this year. Tune in to find out why Frank is excited to bet on Jared Goff!
