Your favorite NFL insiders—Jason Fitz, Jori Epstein, Charles Robinson and Frank Schwab—join forces live from the Toyota Land Cruiser set at Super Bowl LIX to go behind the scenes on the latest headlines, trade talks and coaching moves that are shaping the future of the NFL. The crew digs into the Los Angeles Rams' decision to potentially trade star receiver Cooper Kupp. Is he washed, or could a contender still use his talents? Charles and Frank offer differing views on Kupp’s future, with Frank suggesting he’s nearing the end of the line, while Charles argues that a contending team could get great value out of him—despite his hefty contract. The conversation turns to the Cleveland Browns' star defensive end Myles Garrett, who’s recently requested a trade. Will the Browns actually move him?

Later, the gang dives into the saga of Kellen Moore and his potential fit with the New Orleans Saints—are the Saints gambling too much on this up-and-coming offensive mind? And with Chip Kelly taking over as the highest-paid coordinator in the NFL for the Las Vegas Raiders, could this signal a shift toward competency in Las Vegas? How much control does Tom Brady really have in the building, and could that change in the coming years?

As the episode wraps, the team shifts gears to discuss the looming Super Bowl matchup. Frank points to the Philadelphia Eagles’ laser focus as a sign they’re treating this game like a business trip, while Charles notes the Kansas City Chiefs’ seemingly casual attitude could come back to haunt them.

(2:10) - Cooper Kupp trade talks/best landing spots

(10:25) - Will the Browns actually trade Myles Garrett?

(26:00) - Why the Saints are taking a big risk with Kellen Moore

With Super Bowl LIX just over a week away, Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson and Frank Schwab dive into the hot topics Roger Goodell must confront in his State of the League address. First and foremost are the officiating errors made throughout the league, but particularly in the NFC & AFC Championship games. Human error in must-win games must be corrected, but how?

The trio react to the news that Matthew Stafford will return to play in 2025, though he’s unlikely to do so on his current contract with the Los Angeles Rams. Will Stafford and the Rams find enough common ground to make a new, one-year deal? Or will the Rams let Stafford go elsewhere and start building towards their future? Plus, the latest on Aaron Rodgers’ situation with the New York Jets and just how chaotic the quarterback carousel could become this offseason if Rodgers does retire.

Fitz, Charles & Frank debate whether or not Eli Manning should be voted into the NFL Hall of Fame. He beat Tom Brady twice, and won 2 Super Bowls, but is it enough?

(1:59) Goodell needs to fix NFL officiating

(20:02) Matthew Stafford to return

(27:39) Latest on Aaron Rodgers

(43:28) Where will Sam Darnold land?

(47:46) Is Eli Manning a Hall of Famer?

In this episode of Inside Coverage, hosts Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab give their grades for every head coaching hire so far (looking at you, New Orleans Saints) and give their thoughts and analysis on the latest news around the NFL. First up, the duo discuss the Dallas Cowboys’ hire of Matt Eberflus as defensive coordinator, with Fitz and Frank offering differing opinions on the direction of the team under Jerry Jones' leadership. They also debate the Cowboys' approach to contract negotiations, including the looming decision on Micah Parsons’ contract and what it means for the future of the franchise.

The conversation shifts to the Saints, a team in desperate need of a rebuild. Fitz and Frank analyze why the Saints' job is one no coach seems eager to take, especially given Derek Carr’s eye-popping $51 million cap hit for 2025 and the team’s grim cap situation. Is it time for the Saints to reset and embrace a multi-year rebuild, or will they continue to kick the can down the road? The guys also touch on the Houston Texans’ firing of Bobby Slowik, pondering how this impacts the future of CJ Stroud.

Later, the hosts get into the highs and lows of recent coaching moves, handing out grades for every head coach hire, including the Chicago Bears' decision to bring in Ben Johnson and the Las Vegas Raiders' hiring of Pete Carroll, the oldest coach in NFL history. Fitz and Schwab also share their thoughts on the New York Jets' bold move to bring in Aaron Glenn, and why Mike Vrabel to the New England Patriots could end up the best decision of the 2025 cycle.

In this Championship Weekend edition of Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab dive into the intense battles between the NFL's final four. The duo start with a heated conversation about the Kansas City Chiefs defeating the Buffalo Bills in a controversial, tight battle to the end. Fitz and Schwab reflect on how Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have mastered the art of winning close games, with Mahomes’ uncanny ability to perform in clutch moments making him the most dangerous player in the league. But while the Chiefs' success is undeniable, there’s a growing sense that teams like the Buffalo Bills may be on the verge of running out of time to get past their kryptonite. The discussion takes a turn toward officiating as Fitz and Schwab break down the controversy around the Chiefs and the refs.
Later in the episode, the Philadelphia Eagles dominate the conversation as Fitz and Schwab analyze their commanding win over the Washington Commanders. The Eagles’ dynamic offense, including the unstoppable Saquon Barkley, is riding high heading into the Super Bowl, while the Commanders, though not quite ready to compete at that level, show promising signs for the future.
With their eyes set on the Super Bowl matchup between Kansas City and Philadelphia, Fitz and Frank wrap up with their first impressions in what's shaping up to be a monster matchup in New Orleans.

The seemingly endless cycle of NFL coaching changes continues and Jason Fitz & Frank Schwab break down what the latest hirings mean for each team.The Las Vegas Raiders announce the hiring of Pete Carroll as their new head coach. Maybe he can’t take the Raiders to a Super Bowl, but can Carroll raise the floor in Las Vegas and bring the team back to winning ways? The Jacksonville Jaguars have reportedly hired Liam Coen as their head coach, but will the mishandling of the situation with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers leave a bad taste in the mouths of both franchises?

Fitz & Frank preview the AFC Championship game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs. On paper, the Bills are the stronger team, but it’s hard to root against the Chiefs in the postseason. Has the rivalry between these two teams and their quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes & Josh Allen become the latest edition of Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning? And, if so, where does that leave Lamar Jackson in the conversation?

(0:56) Liam Coen to Jacksonville

(17:22) Pete Carroll to Las Vegas

(25:58) Robert Salah to San Francisco

(27:23) Is Mahomes vs. Allen the new Brady vs. Manning?

In this exciting episode of Inside Coverage, hosts Jason Fitz, Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab dive into the latest coaching news (including some breaking news live on the show) before breaking down this weekend's NFC Championship game. First up, the Chicago Bears have made a big splash by hiring Ben Johnson head coach, but they apparently hired him without meeting him in person. The trio explores the implications of this decision, especially considering Caleb's role in the process and the Bears' desperate need for a fresh start. Next, the breaking news drops that Aaron Glenn is heading to the New York Jets, and the trio give their instant analysis before touching on the uncertainty surrounding the Jacksonville Jaguars' future after firing GM Trent Baalke. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Raiders are still in search of a head coach after their GM hire, and the team debates potential candidates, including the intriguing prospect of Pete Carroll or Anthony Weaver. The Dallas Cowboys seem to be moving in the direction of Brian Schottenheimer in their head coaching search, despite Kellen Moore offering a potentially higher ceiling.
The episode wraps with a preview of the NFC Championship game, where Jori will be braving the cold to watch the action live in Philadelphia. The hosts dive into the concerns surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles’ passing game and discuss how their formula of relying on the run game and a dominant defense could be enough to get them to the Super Bowl. On the other side, Frank gives high praise to Washington’s rising star Jayden Daniels, who might just be the best player on the field Sunday. The gang make their predictions for what promises to be an unforgettable game.
