Summary
On today’s episode of The NFL Report, Steve Wyche & James Palmer discuss the fallout from the Raiders firing of former HC Josh McDaniels, GM Dave Ziegler, OC Mick Lombardi and the benching of Jimmy Garoppolo. They raise the question - is the organization being hindered by hanging on to the glory days of the past and do they have an identity crisis? One of the NFL’s best tight ends, Jacksonville’s Evan Engram joins us to discuss if his team has the best group of offensive skill players in the league, their opportunistic defense, which tight ends he studies on film and the Jaguars popularity in London. Broncos safety Justin Simmons tells us what it’s like to win AFC Defensive Player of The Week for the first time, how he seems to have Patrick Mahomes’ number (has intercepted him more than any other player), the excitement around the team during their 2-game win streak, and his favorite safeties past and present. Brian Baldinger is here to give us his thoughts on Antonio Pierce being named Raiders interim HC, what Chase Young brings to the 49ers, and shows us his favorite films on the Seahawks... Plus, former NFL Offensive Coordinator & NFL Network Analyst Pep Hamilton is also us with us & explains why quarterbacks are struggling so much this year and the impact the high turnover rate of coaches and play callers is having on offenses.
