Peter Schrager on NFL Sources, MNF Recap, and Stella Blue Coffee Launch
The Washington Commanders are officially back, and PFT is walking on air after they handed the Philadelphia Eagles their first loss of the season on Monday Night Football. While the game ended on a somewhat controversial roughing the passer penalty involving Taylor Heineke, the story of the night was Washington’s ability to dominate the clock and keep Jalen Hurts off the field. PFT didn't waste any time calling the end of an era for the Commanders' former high-priced acquisition.
PFT CommenterTaylor Heineke has officially ended Carson Wentz's time as the Commanders' starter
I'll tell you who's not back. Carson Wentz because this is Taylor Heineke's team right now. He's done.
Big Cat, despite having money on the Eagles, actually thinks this loss might be the best thing for Philadelphia in the long run. The pressure of an undefeated season is gone, and they can focus on getting healthy before the playoffs. However, he does have one major concern regarding their ability to stop the run moving forward.
Big CatThe Eagles are in big trouble defensively if Jordan Davis stays out
If Jordan Davis is out for the year, I'd be like, the Eagles are in big trouble because they can't, their defensive line has no bulk and they can't stop anyone.
Speaking of the run game, PFT was mesmerized by Brian Robinson’s performance. The rookie back has a certain violent elegance to his game that fits the Commanders' new identity perfectly.
PFT CommenterBrian Robinson's running style is electric because he actively seeks out contact
Brian Robinson got shot twice. They love saying that Brian Robinson got shot and the way that he runs is electric. He just, he runs directly into, he loves contact. He just, he picks a defensive tackle and he runs at the defensive tackle and he gets like three and a half, four yards every time.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne and the Birth of Stella Blue
Hot Seat/Cool Throne featured a massive milestone as Big Cat officially launched Stella Blue Coffee. It’s been a long time coming, and the guys have already been living on the light roast to get through the early morning recordings. On the darker side of the news, PFT put the entire crypto industry on the Hot Seat following the absolute collapse of FTX.
PFT CommenterSam Bankman-Fried is the latest Bernie Madoff
My hot seat is crypto in general. Sam Bankman-Fried from FTX is the latest Bernie Madoff right now. It's been in the news. He had I think about $40 billion and now he has $0 because his entire platform went bankrupt.
Big Cat’s Cool Throne went to the Jordan family, specifically Marcus Jordan, for his rumored relationship with Larsa Pippen. It’s the kind of petty move that only the offspring of the GOAT could pull off, and Big Cat thinks he knows exactly who is pulling the strings.
Big CatThe Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen relationship is MJ's final revenge on Scottie Pippen
I just imagined MJ being like, did you hear all that shit about Scottie saying that LeBron's better than me? Go hit up Larsa. Yeah, let's, let's start this relationship Dogs. That's tough.
Peter Schrager in Studio
NFL Network’s Peter Schrager joined the guys in the studio to pull back the curtain on how NFL reporting actually works. Schrager is one of the few people who can navigate the world of high-level coaching sources while still being a genuine fan of the show. He touched on the Sean McVay retirement rumors, making it clear that the Rams coach isn't going to go out on a losing season.
Peter SchragerSean McVay is not leaving for TV and will return to coach the Rams next year
All the talk of him doing TV and all that shit, like he's in. This isn't how he's gonna be going down. He's at this crossroads of the season and his whole thing was like, I can't go out like this.
When the conversation shifted to the 2021 Quarterback draft class, Schrager didn't hesitate to give Big Cat exactly what he wanted to hear regarding the future of the Chicago Bears' franchise.
Peter SchragerJustin Fields should be the #1 pick in a re-draft of the 2021 quarterback class
I think Fields is one. Fields is one, but solely cost... and they're finally building the offense around him obviously.
Schrager also looked ahead to the playoffs, warning everyone not to sleep on the defending AFC champions. While the spotlight has been on the Bills and Chiefs, the Bengals are lurking in the weeds with a healthy Joe Burrow.
Peter SchragerI'm not done with the Bengals yet; they are a team no one will want to play in the playoffs
I'm not done with the Bengals. They're outta the playoff right now. I just think burrow's the real deal. And I think that team... they're coming out of [their bye]. I really do think that they're gonna be a team no one wants to play.
Matt Ryan and Guys on Chicks
Matt Ryan joined the show for a quick "One Question with a Quarterback" segment to discuss his massive 39-yard scramble against the Raiders and the vibe in the locker room after Jeff Saturday took the reigns. Matt was a great sport about the 28-3 jokes and even turned the tables to ask Big Cat and PFT how their gambling weekend went. We wrapped things up with a high-stakes edition of Guys on Chicks, where PFT offered some chaotic advice for a listener dealing with too many exes reaching out at once.
PFT CommenterThe best way to handle multiple ex-hookups trying to slide back in is to invite them all to the same birthday party
You just gotta invite 'em all and see who hangs around the longest. It's kinda like in the reunion episodes of Love is Blind when they just get everybody in a bar together and get 'em drunk. They all just start fighting and one person will eventually go home with a person.
Hank still hasn't hit the lottery ball, and the world remains at peace.
