Welcome to the Peter King Podcast. Really happy you could join me this week got a couple of really good conversations

Chris Collinsworth the analyst on Sunday night football and NBC the host of a new podcast the Chris

Collinsworth podcast featuring Richard Sherman

will be on he's also the owner of Pro Football Focus PFF and will also be joined by Thomas de Mitrov, the former general manager of the

Atlanta Falcons, do a little exit interview with Thomas de Mitrov who was let go

now a week and a half ago by Atlanta owner Arthur Blank,

we'll talk about what's in his future. But first, before we get to those, you know,

Bengals. Clearly, he's the quarterback of the long-term future in

Cincinnati and you've seen the sixth pick in the draft.

look as good or better really than Burrow

in the early season play from him.

jets 24-0.

Something about it just doesn't make sense. You know, especially because, hey, Ryan Fitzpatrick's, his numbers are good. And so you think to yourself, you know, probably a little bit too soon. But I think we're not living in normal times. And I'll tell you why. First of all to a tongue of a loa played not exactly what you would call a classic pro style offense at Alabama because he did throw the ball deep. They had a great

receiving core obviously led by Henry Rugs. They had a great receiving core.
