Summary

Rich previews NFL Week 5 and lays out which players and teams have the most at stake including Browns QB Dillon Gabriel, Bengals QB Jake Browning, Raiders QB Geno Smith, Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence and others. Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Rich discuss Seattle’s new-look offense after DK Metcalf’s trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the addition of Sam Darnold and Cooper Kupp, where Ohio State wideout Jeremiah Smith ranks among the Buckeyes’ all-time greats, the early success of former OSU WR Emeka Egbuka on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and more. Rich and the guys react to Philadelphia Eagles WR AJ Brown’s apology for his cryptic tweet that many saw as a salvo fired at the team’s coaching staff for his inconsistent usage this season.
