On today's episode, Jason open things up by sharing his thoughts on the Philadelphia Eagles rollercoaster victory over the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football. Daniel Jones was turnover machine and Carson Wentz was wildly inconsistent, both of which were to be expected, but the big takeaway form this game was the evolution of Doug Pederson. Two years ago, he was dialing up trick plays to Nick Foles for touchdowns in the Super Bowl. Now? He's dialing up 4th down fade routes to receivers who are still without an NFL catch. Safe to say that Jason is officially done with Pederson. Later, Football Outsiders' Aaron Schatz swings by to discuss his creation of the DVOA metric that's become so wildly popular in NFL circles, how the Eagles' 2018 Super Bowl run changed the way teams feel about being aggressive playcalling, why it's hard to determine if the Las Vegas Raiders' inability to practice this week due to COVID would be a positive or a negative this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, why you should expect Ryan Tannehill to continue his high level of play moving forward, why Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns are nowhere near as good as their record while Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints are much better than theirs, and much more! Plus, Jason closes things out with a special 3-pack edition of the Best Bet for Week 7 in the NFL.
