We're back with another weekly podcast featuring our favorite X's-and-O's analyst — Greg Cosell, the longtime NFL Films maven, who's also the executive producer of ESPN's "NFL Matchup." As always, we go through this week's upcoming games with a scout's eye and Greg in control of the All-22 tape.
Here are the matchups we're discussing in order this week:
Note that through the rest of the regular season, we'll be focusing much more intently on the potential playoff teams, so games like Vikings-Redskins won't get as much play. Discussions this week included: What is the value of a bridge quarterback, and how are teams like the Dolphins, 49ers, and Seahawks weighing temporary fixes at the position with the need to win long-term? Why has the Raiders' defense fallen apart in the last three weeks, and who's responsible? Do the Bengals have the best player in the 2011 draft, or are the Panthers enjoying that honor? Which Broncos player needs a lot more recognition? Why was the Steelers' defense curiously silent against the 49ers, and just how much noise can be made by these two 49ers defensive linemen? Are the Packers in more trouble than that one loss suggests, and what does that loss say about Kansas City's defense?
It's always a must-listen when Greg Cosell talks football, so check it out!
