In short
NFL Daily’s Week 1 late/primetime slate preview, focusing on division games and key matchups (Broncos-Chiefs, Cowboys-Giants, Packers-Vikings, Commanders-Eagles) plus a late Dolphins-Raiders preview and a Chargers-Cardinals discussion.
Guests
Greg Rosenthal (host) and Jordan Rodriguez (co-host). No other guests are interviewed in the excerpt.
Key claims
- Chiefs-Broncos: Mahomes’ primetime return is risky; Andy Reid may need “tricks” due to Denver’s veteran defense. Expect heavy reliance on Kenneth Walker screens and running-game success; Denver has historically limited KC passing.
- Cowboys-Giants: Cowboys defense only needs to get “to the middle” (not overachieve) while the offense stays explosive. Giants must generate pass rush without Dexter Lawrence; run defense is the question.
- Packers-Vikings: Packers offensive line questions; Vikings blitzing is a major test for Jordan Love. Packers’ pass rush is weaker without Micah Parsons.
- Commanders-Eagles: Eagles are favored; biggest question is how Devonta Smith and Saquon Barkley fit into Sean Mannion’s offense. Commanders have multiple new/uncertain pieces on offense and defense.
- Chargers-Cardinals: Cardinals offense could exceed expectations due to weapons (Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, Kendrick Bourne) and scheme flexibility; Chargers are big favorites.
Notable examples
Xavier Worthy has 32 snaps vs Broncos coverage without a catch; KC has struggled vs Denver historically (e.g., 48 dropbacks, 249 yards last year).

2:19Welcome to NFL Daily. We're not sure how we feel about division matchups in week one, but we love week one. I'm Greg Rosenthal. I'm here in the Chris Wesseling podcast studio. I'm with my friend Jordan Rodriguez. We are previewing the afternoon games in week one, the primetime games. We're going to start with go back and listen to the early games. if you missed it. And yes, we got some big primetime division. That's where I started.
2:47Jourdan Rodrigue:Oh my gosh. What is, we got kind of a major slate here. It is my favorite week of the entire season because like possibility is endless for all the teams. I love being proven wrong. As our producer, Eric Roberts points out, all the things we talked about all off season are going to look stupid on Sunday if they don't already. All right. It's the division game that we'll be waiting all night on Monday for. The Broncos and the Chiefs. The Chiefs are favored over the Broncos in Kansas City. It's on ESPN. It's the Joe Buck-Troy Aikman game with Lisa Salters. Man, the confidence of the NFL schedule makers to put Patrick Mahomes' return from ACL surgery in primetime week one.
3:34Andy Reid won't even tell us for sure that Patrick Mahomes is starting. I think we feel pretty safe that that is going to happen. Andy Reid did tell us Josh Simmons, their left tackle, not expected to start because of a back injury. He says that's all that it is. It's, you know, last year he missed time for other reasons. This time it's an injury. But that makes my first question even more important. We're going to have an opening question for each one of these games. Does Andy Reid have any tricks up his sleeve? Because he's going to need him.
4:09Jourdan Rodrigue:well we're gonna see a lot of Cleo Benson I know that he will be the left tackle we believe Jalen Moore will be the right tackle and Cleo Benson entered training camp as an undrafted free agent rookie who was supposed to be competing at right tackle with Jalen Moore and then even played a little right guard because of some some injury and competitive stuff and and now we'll be starting at left tackle hey here now how do you stop Nick Benito just why not it'll be fine right So yeah, Andy Reid must have some tricks up his sleeve. Where I think those tricks will come into play are in Kenneth Walker.
4:44Jourdan Rodrigue:And I think, right or wrong, this offense and this football team is heavily, heavily, heavily counting on Kenneth Walker to have a huge impact in the passing game and in the running game for them. And I think that's extra important in this matchup because they've had more success on the ground, like most teams against the Broncos than throwing the ball. And I think the path towards the Chiefs winning the division, as I predicted them to do, is through a dominant offensive line. It looks a lot worse without Josh Simmons out there. But yeah, the interior with Tooney and Creed Humphrey leading the way, of course not Tooney, Trey Smith and Creed Humphrey leading the way, like has very high potential.
5:27And I mentioned, does he have any tricks up asleep? Because that used to be his thing. Like he used to come out really hot in September and create all the plays that all the rest of the league copied for the rest of the year. I feel like that hasn't been happening lately. And I think Mahomes is going to need a bit of an advantage because he's just rolling back with most of the same guys.
5:45Jourdan Rodrigue:If it's going to happen, it to me will be a little bit of a callback to exactly what you just said, which is what he used to do, which is he would use motions and he would use shifts to create different blocking matchups in the second layer specifically of the defense to account for out of screens. So basically he would motion players and set up little stacks and little things to the side of the main formation that would not only get the runner, the ball carrier past first contact, but then set up these different levels downfield that could create explosive plays. Kenneth Walker, We have talked about this all off season.
6:22Jourdan Rodrigue:One of the best screen game runners in the NFL and was last year, just very creative and artistic the way that he, he operates those. It is something that they've been doing a lot already all through training camp. I've been reading the reports on it. And to me, it's like, is it a new trick? I don't know, but it is something that what it used to be was, was every single coach in the league would watch Andy Reed screen cutups, you know, first thing Monday morning, week two. I mean, when's the last real difference-making running back they had? Jamal Charles? Yeah. Like, it's been a minute. It hasn't been in the Patrick Mahomes era.
6:56Kareem Hunt, great. Pacheco had his year, but not difference-makers. But truly, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to give you some numbers. The last games Patrick Mahomes has faced this defense against Denver. Last year, 48 dropbacks, 249 yards passing. That's a lot of dropbacks. That's a lot of work for not a lot of production. The year before, 46 dropbacks, 243 yards net passing. The year before that, 41 dropbacks, 212 yards passing. Run the ball! Yeah, you had to go back to, because he only played them once last year, you had to go back to 2023 to find kind of an explosive offensive game. Oh, interesting.
7:35Statistically.
7:36Jourdan Rodrigue:Eric Bien-Ami. That's true. But even then, they only scored 19 points in that game. And then you want to go with like one more just stat I'm going to throw at you. Xavier Worthy has taken 32 snaps against Jaquan McMillan and Riley Moss. He doesn't have a catch. It's kind of a crazy, crazy stat. Yeah. Like he's just gotten locked up in these press coverages. And like they need Xavier Worthy to do some things. Well, they need all their receivers to do some things. They need their veteran tight end to do some things. I mean, this Broncos defense, we know what it is. It's tough. It's a veteran group.
8:07Jourdan Rodrigue:It's established. Vance Joseph is in his bag of late. these recent seasons where it's not just at their front, maybe interior took like a very small step back last year, but still very, very dynamic in every single phase communicates well and understand we talked all, I could talk all I want about setting up layers against the second and third level with your, with your formations and things like that. These guys know what they are. They've seen it. They've seen so much football at this point. They really compliment each other. They limit explosives. They take the ball away. They rushed the quarterback.
8:40Jourdan Rodrigue:Patrick Mahomes' movement. We talked on the previous show about Daniel Jones and what is his movement going to look like? What is Patrick Mahomes' movement out of structure going to look like? I am so curious. Against the defense, every starter was on the roster last year. Basically, every player was on the roster last year, except for third-round pick Tyler Onyadam, the defensive tackle. They probably butchered. They are without Jonathan Cooper, who's on the commissioner's exemplary, so the pass rush, maybe not as much use. Flipping sides quickly, like what interests you the most about the Kansas city defense with such young players matching up against another side of the ball for Denver, where it's a lot of experience.
9:19Jourdan Rodrigue:Jalen Waddle, Jalen Waddle, Jalen Waddle, Jalen Waddle, Jalen Waddle, Pat Bryant, Cortland Sutton. Like I, it's going to be cool because I think Jalen Waddle is going to move all over the formation. I think that Sean Payton is going to basically see which corner and which safeties and perhaps the linebackers to give him the most leeway against using a player like we know he loves to do all over the formation. I understand that, you know, this JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey, like this, this running backs room is pretty established. Jonah Coleman is the newcomer in there. He was on my feature hits list that I released for the athletic this week, a player who I think is going to be a real factor in the pass and the run for the Broncos very, very early on, no matter what the rest of the group looks like.
10:02Jourdan Rodrigue:So figuring out, For me, it's because we trust Spaggs so much, the Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator. We also trust that Sean Payton is going to find the math advantage wherever he can. And now he has enough receivers, enough dimensionality in his receiving room, enough layers he can build to do it. We can't not talk about the Bo Nix injury recovery too. I mean, that dude's coming off an injury too. Yeah, he's coming off a couple surgeries on the ankle. He looked good throughout training camp. And so there's no reason to believe he'll be compromised, but that's absolutely a good shout out.
10:40And yeah, it's going to be interesting to see these young Chiefs defenders. They need to have some hits. So Mansoor Delane, a top 10 pick. You also have up front R. Mason Thomas rushing the passer. Peter Woods was a first round pick. It's a young group. I think the Broncos really did well schedule wise here. You're going to have to play at Chiefs at some point, right? This is the perfect time to do it. I know you're, you know, you're without Jonathan Cooper. So that's, I guess, a negative that you're going to have early in the season. But even though I picked the Chiefs to win this division, I don't think they'll win this game.
11:14I think this is the time when the Broncos and their maturity. Sounds weird to say that they're the more established side to me compared to Kansas City.
11:22Jourdan Rodrigue:This is kind of sneaky, the Rosenthal-Rodrigue bowl, because I picked the Broncos to win. Sure. But yeah, I think the Broncos win this game. And so that's a pretty good hint of where I might be leaning with one of my three picks tomorrow because they're underdogs. Let's go to Sunday Night Football. The Cowboys are favored on the road by two and a half. Like, if the Cowboys are favored on the road, like, why can't the Broncos be? They're in New York. It's the NBC crew, Mike Tirico, Chris Collinsworth, and Melissa Stark. What's your big question? My one big question is, big picture Cowboys all season, can the Cowboys defense get to just the middle?
11:58Jourdan Rodrigue:That's all I need the Cowboys defense to do. I don't need the Cowboys defense to overachieve in any way. I think that this offense is going to be so good and so explosive in multiple areas, run and pass, that getting to from worst in the league on defense to just like 14 through 17. That's great. That's where you want to live. It's like the scene in Hitch where he's teaching him where to stay when he's dancing right here. That's where you're at. Don't try to deviate from that. And I don't think Christian Parker is the type of coordinator who's going to ask some of their limitations, especially in the secondary in this with this personnel to do things that they're not capable of doing.
12:40Jourdan Rodrigue:I think there's some really exciting players on this defense. Caleb Downs front and center on that one. Quinton Williams is a great anchor for them up front. Building their pass rush around him is really important. But to me, it's like just get to the middle. Let your offense roll you the rest of the way. Let's listen to Brian Schottenheimer talk about his new defensive coordinator, Christian Parker, who came from Philadelphia, now running that Cowboys defense. Very confident. You know, listening, sitting in on his meetings and the things that he talks about. Like I said, there's a very clear plan.
13:12Jourdan Rodrigue:You know, this is a unique opportunity because they don't know what we're going to do on defense. And, you know, we don't know what they're going to do on offense. You know, they've got Matt Nagy, who's a terrific coach. Greg Roman you know very very different one's the RPO guy and sub personnel naming some guys he'd be great to have on naming some guys wait who's the other Giants offensive staff member it's a wild group there Matt Nagy Greg Roman I'm forgetting the three offensive coaches of the offensive apocalypse. I'm going to be curious because Malik neighbors is going to be out there. He practiced fully and he is expected to play according to John Harbaugh.
14:03And this is an offense that struggled throughout most of the preseason.
14:07Jourdan Rodrigue:Brian Callahan. Yes, of course. Of course. He's the third. It's just so many voices. John Harbaugh is the most important one among them. And yeah, it's a great test for two really unproven sides. And you mentioned the excitement that the Cowboys have about some of their new players. Malachi Lawrence is a rookie pass rusher, might not play a ton week one. We'll see. Caleb Downs, like how will they use him? Will they use Jaishan Barham at linebacker in practice? It was looking like they were lining up him next to DeMarvion Overshawn. So it's just a lot of new pieces there. On the flip side, how good is this Giants defensive line going to be?
14:47I think the only way that this team has a winning record this year is if Abdul Carter ascends, if Arvel Reese is in defensive rookie of the year conversation, Brian Burns is who he is. Kayvon Thibodeau is who he is. And suddenly you have one of the more compelling pass rush groups in the entire NFL.
15:05Jourdan Rodrigue:And no Dexter Lawrence there in the middle anymore. So for me, it's like, yes, I love their pass rush potential. Can they defend the run? And they couldn't last year. They were, they were one of the worst defenses of all time, really stopping the run for the last two years combined. One year with Dexter Lawrence, one year without, but it is a big loss. And on paper, they didn't look like they get much better. They're just counting on coaching from John Harbaugh and Denard Wilson, their new coordinator. One of the things that really frustrated me about the giants defense last year, among many, many things was that they had such talent and such, high ceiling players and real blue chip players that they'd gone out and drafted, but it almost seemed like they drafted them.
15:47Jourdan Rodrigue:And then it was like, okay, that's it. Like go play football. So for me, a much more cohesive plan, how they rush off of each other, how they understand each other's space using the, um, just the multiplicity of some of these players, like an Arvel Reese, for example, like a Brian Burns, like an Abdul Carter, like using these guys in different ways is going to be really, really important. And I think for the Cowboys with Tyler Smith out, I mean, he's obviously on the interior, but still having your best offensive lineman out against a pass rush that could potentially be very, very good out of the gate is a huge question mark for me.
16:21And I think they'll use Reese to rush the passer and blitz sometimes from the linebacker position. They'll use Kayvon Thibodeau or sometimes Carter on the inside, certainly on stunts and everything. I mean, they did a great job with that last year. And it's a lot for the Cowboys offensive line to deal with. That's a big X factor. There's this assumption that the Cowboys are just like a top five offense. You know, it's just going to happen. I mean, they weren't last year. They were like, they were a little more inconsistent, but I think they're going to be able to run the ball with your guy, Clayton Adams running the show.
16:53I think Javante Williams is going to be good. And I think this is a good week one matchup.
16:57Jourdan Rodrigue:I think it was, they were a really curious case study last year because you're right. They were streaky in some areas and they did fluctuate offensively in terms of their output. You know, their run game, it wasn't as explosive. They normally, a Clayton Adams design run game is normally going to lead the league in explosive runs. But it's interesting when I talked to him this summer, it was a lot of conversation about how can you create more explosive, still understanding that defenses are really going, they're really playing your quarterback first and foremost. And so everything you do, which, you know, wasn't always necessarily the case when he was in Arizona because Kyler was injured a lot or couldn't, you know, didn't finish the season.
17:35Jourdan Rodrigue:Everything you do is predicated around, okay, what are they going to present in their shell looks, first of all? And how will they then try to defend our run explosives out of that? How can we create? And they have Javante Williams. He's just not that explosive. Yeah. And they don't mind. I don't think they mind. Like you would think that they would want to be a really like, especially with Brian Schottenheimer kind of gets the reputation of like an old school guy. They're actually like, they're so pass heavy. They're so happy to be pass heavy, especially on early downs. you would think between those two guys, Shottie and Clayton Adams, they would be run heavier on early downs, but they weren't.
18:07Jourdan Rodrigue:So it was a little bit of these anomalies here and there sprinkled in that I'm curious to see what presents out of those and what the second year of both of those things look like. Because for me, their results were a bit streaky, but their ceiling was so high and the process looked good. When I see a process that looks good and I believe in the players and I believe in the quarterback, to me, I think there's such a high ceiling for them. They also had a lot of injuries. CeeDee Lamb missed a lot of time. The offensive line missed guys throughout the course of the season. It'll be great to see those two receivers.
18:38And they're matching up against a surprising duo for the Giants. I'm kind of shocked that the starting cornerbacks for New York are Greg Newsome, who they brought in, and Deontay Banks, the former first-round pick. So the high draft pick, Colton Hood, did not get a starting job. Their expensive free agent pickup from a year ago, Paul Senadivo, did not get a starting job. Now it's because they got outplayed. But that's a tough matchup against Pickens and C.D.
19:02Jourdan Rodrigue:We might not see them run the ball one time. No, that's what I like about Brian Schottenheimer. He's very aggressive and not like his dad in terms of how he's approaching. Yeah, he's the new Schottenheimer. That's a good one. Packers, Vikings. Love this one. The Vikings are favored by one and a half at home. This is the Jim Nance-J.J. Watt game. J.J. Watt getting the elevation with Tony Romo out of the mix now following his arrest. Tracy Wolfson is there. This matchup has a lot to it. And like I said, another division matchup. Like we have four straight division matchups in this like prime time and late window.
19:41It just gives this extra weight and this extra turbo boost because I always think you win a game and a half when you win a game in the division. So what an advantage, let's say the Packers can win this game on the road to have a road division win in your pocket right off the bat. What's your question?
19:57Jourdan Rodrigue:well I'm gonna imitate the rest of the Green Bay Packers beat all week this week all week last week when they were asking the coaching staff including head coach Matt LaFleur and you know offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach who is starting on the offensive line no seriously who they've used a lot of different players throughout the course of the preseason and training camp and So we can only go off of what the B reporters are saying locally because obviously preseason games are not the most indicative of what's actually going to happen. They've been dealing with injuries. So right now, according to my colleague, Matt Schneidman, says Jordan Morgan at left tackle.
20:41Jourdan Rodrigue:So that's not a position he had started. Sean Ryan at center, Jacob Monk at right guard. And then Zach Bacoboele and Aaron Banks have been limited, right? The former Zach Tom, yes. The former Zach Tom. But they spoke to Zach Bacoboile as we're taping this, basically. And he told the reporters that he's not only definitely playing Sunday, but he plans to play the entire game. Okay. So. And he'd be the right tackle. I think there's a lot of questions about their offensive line, but they have been better than the sum of their parts throughout the course of the Packers' time with Matt LaFleur. Like, I think they are an offensive line that you give them the benefit of the doubt, but on paper, it doesn't look great.
Read the full transcript
21:25And oh, you get to play the Minnesota Vikings week one.
21:29Jourdan Rodrigue:You think they're going to blitz a lot? Which just like adds a level of difficulty planning week one. Now, Jordan Love, very good against the blitz last year in general. And yet it's kind of confusing. One of the worst quarterbacks in the league against pressure in terms of the difference between how he was statistically when he was protected well, He was the best quarterback in the league, essentially. And it fell off a cliff a little bit. Him and Jared Goff are kind of the two most dramatic guys in terms of how the numbers change. So what that tells me is he's reading the defense. He's getting the ball out against the blitz for the most part.
22:04When you do get him to hold on to the ball and create some confusion, you can make some hay against the Packers.
22:09Jourdan Rodrigue:Who likes to do that? Sky Brian Flores, who, by the way, got Harrison Smith back recently. Nice. So nice for them. Seems like teammates were expecting this. Josh Metellus had his face photoshopped on to a photo of Prince. So I think, and that was like a deep cut from March that he just kept retweeting. So I feel like they knew that this was coming. Is that the one where Prince is naked on the cover? It wasn't. Okay. But I appreciate your creative thought going into that. Well, it's more of my knowledge of how Prince albums. What a flex, Greg. I'm old. but he has he has some interesting guys in the secondary josh metellus is healthy um harrison smith being back not really sure how up i think he's playing yeah but i'm not sure how up to speed he's going to be but still um good news for them and for me the other thing i'm most curious about with the vikings is on the other side of the ball which is the favorite talking point of one of ours all season which are all off season which is kyler murray what is he going to look like.
23:15Jourdan Rodrigue:And also, by the way, Carson Wentz is apparently the backup. Yes. JJ McCarthy will be QB three. It was announced by Kevin O 'Connell. That gives us the best chance to win. See if JJ McCarthy is still on the team post trade deadline. Probably will be because I think they're just keeping them in case they need to start three quarterbacks because they have in multiple seasons under Kevin O 'Connell and he's a better option than most third quarterbacks. Let's hear from Kyler Murray's former coach, Jonathan Gannon. Yes, Jonathan Gannon, the former Cardinals coach, is now the defensive coordinator for the Packers.
23:51So if ever there is a guy who knows how to attack Kyler Murray's weaknesses, it is Jonathan Gannon in week one, even if he's still bros with Kyler.
24:01Jourdan Rodrigue:Yeah, Kyler Murray, really good player. You know, he's in a really good offense with some elite players. you know obviously I got nothing but love and respect for K1 he's competitive he's smart can make all the throws and he can beat you with his legs so big time challenge all the reporting in Arizona was that those two guys kind of were in it together to the end and really appreciated each other so trauma bonded yeah I I believe him and I I think talking about the weapons around him is well said because it's a mismatch in terms of talent I don't I think there's a lot of talent on this Packers defense.
24:39Definitely not in their pass rush without Micah Parsons. And there's a lot of matchup problems potentially at cornerback when you have Jordan Addison and Juwan Jennings as your, your two and your three. Oh,
24:51Jourdan Rodrigue:and by the way, that Justin Jefferson guy can get down the field pretty good. So he's got his work cut out for him. He's going to have to get creative. Jonathan Gant. He's going to have to get creative. And it is true to like what he hopes that is not happening. I mean, I think he is. He wants to be, he wants to be firing crazy blitzes. Well, yeah, he does want to be firing crazy blitzes. He was doing that since basically they put the pads on and they're very sort of self aware about this, that there's going to be two versions of this defense, the pre Micah Parsons and the post Micah Parsons and the pre Micah Parsons one is going to be very, very blitz heavy.
25:26Jourdan Rodrigue:Somewhat ironically, this Packers team will now be very blitz heavy going against, you know, on the other sideline, obviously, but the Brian Flores, we know that's going to be very, very blitz heavy. with Kyler though I don't know that that's gonna work out the way that they think it it will or hope that it will and it's really the only way you're gonna get pressure I do not trust this defensive line um for from the Packers before Micah Parsons gets back I think that when you send a blitz the way that they can you're automatically just saying all right well we're not gonna have at least three guys you know at least an extra guy downfield to help bracket or to help cover over the top of one of these 11 personnel, three receiver sets with three very, very, very good receivers where you want all of your defensive backs covering and or bracketing around whatever those like route concepts are.
26:17Jourdan Rodrigue:And you don't want Kyler to escape with his very specific running style. You don't want him to escape and then create as a byproduct of that escaping. That's what he does so well. That's what he has done so well in creating explosive plays. I want to see him run. I mean, I'm not saying what I would like to see, but I'm saying if you're Jonathan Gannon, you almost don't want to have to lean too much on the blitz in this way, but where else are you going to get pressure? Yeah, it is a catch-22 and I'm very curious how much Kyler really will be willing to run. He tends to enter the season or different parts of the season and be like, okay, now I'm going to run.
26:55Now I'm not going to run. And it hasn't always been natural for him, even though he's one of the most gifted runners I've ever seen.
27:01Jourdan Rodrigue:He hasn't always been a journeyman. So this could be interesting. The Minnesota run game to all offseason long, and they have talked about it's going to be cool. It's going to be different. It's going to be better. It's going to be a lot of zone blocking. So we'll see. Like, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do there with Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones. Let's go to our last division game in a row here, which is commanders at Eagles. The Eagles favored by four and a half. Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady, Aaron Andrews on the game. A lot of disrespect for this Eagles team. NFL.com, 12 out of 19 analysts chose the Cowboys.
27:40I happen to notice Yahoo, I think it was Yahoo Fantasy, seven out of eight of their analysts.
27:46Jourdan Rodrigue:Josh Norris stood strong with the Eagles. Took the Cowboys. It's like the Eagles still have one of the best rosters in the entire NFL. The Eagles are always going to be the favorites to me until proven. Otherwise I chose the Eagles. I think it's going to turn out that way. And I have the question in this one. And it's just, are you ready and excited for the year of Devante Smith? Ooh, yeah. Yes, I am. I've been waiting for this for some time. I, he's been one of my favorite receivers in the league for a long time. I like that, uh, a player approximately the size in terms of narrowness of Mina Kimes is out there making things happen.
28:26Jourdan Rodrigue:And yet he's so strong somehow. Yeah. Well, so she, you know, sure. Yeah. I mean, she's not at the catch point. I don't know. Like she going up against, you know, we get, we need to do some, some analysis I think on this, but yeah, I can't wait for this. I think that this with the combination of Sean Mannion really wanting to distribute the ball or, or at least get the, you know, get the concepts in that ask for the ball to be distributed, ask for Devante Smith to do a lot of different types of things. They, they obviously, you know, minus AJ Brown, that's going to be, I think the big topic and the big question on everyone's mind.
29:00Jourdan Rodrigue:Mine is I'm more curious about what actually this offense looks like and what the run game does with Saquon Barkley, because if whispers out of camp are to be, you know, believed, it looked a lot like they were installing the 2018 version of the Los Angeles Rams offense, you know, Oh, and so getting a really strong zone predicated running game, which it sounds like they're doing, and featuring it around one running back who can really create extra space out of those zone concepts, which I'm curious to see how Saquon Barkley does it with that type of scheme, and using it to set up the under center play action game, to set up the middle of the field throws, to set up some of these deeper digs and crossers, and then to sort of pick your spots on the perimeter.
29:44Jourdan Rodrigue:that is exactly what all of that was and Sean Mannion who's the new offensive coordinator for the Eagles first year OC going to be calling it from up in the booth Nick Sirianni said today is let's see what you got you know it's four sides of the football in this game with very different expectations and continuity you have three sides you know including Sean Mannion running that Eagles. So that he has veteran players, but he's a brand new play caller. You have totally different rosters on offense and defense, especially for Washington with first time play callers. And then you have the Eagles defense, which is very predictable in some ways.
30:26Jourdan Rodrigue:The monolith, the death star. Is so talented. Got Jonathan Grenard back this week to practice. So it sounds like he could make his Eagles debut in week one. He's been out with a pectoral injury. And Vic Fangio and a group in the back end with Quinion Mitchell and Cooper Jean that is just hitting their stride. And so I look at this game and I see like four major question marks. I see four separate teams. Right. I see four, like three major question marks and then the freaking Eagles defense. And to me, it's a little bit of a nightmare of a start for David Blau, the new coordinator of the commanders and for Jaden Daniels to have to go against week one, especially on the interior of their offensive line against Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis.
31:08Jourdan Rodrigue:And coming off of a really, really long break where he hasn't been playing a lot of live football. The injury obviously was the factor last year. Coming off of questions still, you know, at receiver, there's a little bit more variety built in there now. But it just, I would like to know, I have no idea what this offense is going to look like. I can read the pieces about David Blau. I can read the articles about what they think this is going to look like. but I don't know until I see it. I actually have a much easier time conceptualizing what this Sean Mannion offense and system is going to look like, because I feel like it is basically just a copy paste of something that we've seen work.
31:53Jourdan Rodrigue:I don't know what this other is. And, and, and, and also to David Blau, and you hear sort of whispers about this is like, wants to run a similar type of system, wants to run a sort of a tree guy system. I don't know if that works with this particular set of players that they have. Never a great sign when you're playing a bunch of starters that weren't on the team until late in the offseason, like Stefan Diggs. It made sense for this team, but it's not a great sign for your team building process that he's immediately your wide receiver too. Starting at cornerback is Roswell Douglas, who signed with the team in late July, partly because Trey Amos is hurt, partly because they just don't have other players.
32:32Starting at center, they hope, is Nick Allegretti, who just has been hurt throughout the course of training camp. And then at left tackle is Brandon Coleman, who's filling in for Laramie Tunsil. So that side of the ball specifically, it's tough. And I do feel like Jaden Daniels, just publicly, you know, he's not used to not being like the bell of the ball, the most popular guy in the world. The LSU thing, like really... Good memes, though. The combination of that and the quarterback show where he was just like a little guarded and a little boring. I just feel like Jaden Daniels in a much different place entering this season.
33:11They booed him at LSU when they put him up at the scoreboard. That was tough.
33:15Jourdan Rodrigue:I saw that. Nobody wants that. Well, it is a tough challenge. I hope he I hope he moves a little bit. I hope he plays free. I hope we see shades of the guy that we saw during his rookie season where he just gave commanders fans something to hope for. there's a lot of moving pieces. And in a case like this, when there's so much new, like you pointed out, you really want to feel patience. You really want to feel continuity at the head coaching job, the GM spot ownership. I don't know how patient this group is going to be with all of this. It is weird because they're year three of the regime. And yet they're year one of these two first time play callers.
33:53Durante Jones could be spicy though.
33:55Jourdan Rodrigue:I love his story. He's from the Brian Flores coaching tree. Like he, players love him. Colleagues love him. I really like his story. They could throw a lot at this Sean Mannion, Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley offense. And it could be a little bit of a messy game. I'm feeling, I'm feeling an NFC East September, like 20 to 14 game. I'm kind of wondering if the Eagles are predicting that too. And that's why Sean Mannion's up in the booth because as a former quarterback himself, I was really surprised to see that he's calling the game from up in the booth. But you obviously, if someone's going to throw a lot of funky pressure at you, that's a better view, truly, to have of it and kind of see where all the ripple effects of that are.
34:38Jourdan Rodrigue:So that actually, normally I don't pay much attention to who's on the field, who's in the booth, but that one I do pay attention to. Ja 'Cory Krosky-Meritt, I believe, is expected to be back as the starting running back for the Commanders in this game. Bill! So we know more about that than we do about the Eagles' backup quarterback situation, which is one of the most tightly held secrets in the entire NFL. Nick Sirianni. We don't have to make that decision quite yet or announce that decision. I think for competitive reasons, again, I don't want them to be able to study one guy over the other. I'm not saying we don't have an answer of who that is yet, but I just don't have to share that quite yet publicly.
35:20I mean, are they really studying Andy Dalton? Break out your old VCR? I mean, like, how much are they studying Andy Dalton or Tanner McKee? It's going to be McKee, by the way. Competitive reasons, given the commanders a lot of, you know, respect there. Right. That they're going to have such an advantage knowing who your backup is. Get over yourself. I mean, that's another. We can't have two tiny table predictions in one show.
35:47Jourdan Rodrigue:Yeah, that's the rule. We famously did it on our early games. Per week, we'll do it. But I'm saying it's Tanner McKee's job. You're not taking it away from him. Let's take a quick break and we will wrap up the week one afternoon slate with one of the weirdest games of the entire weekend. Had to go last. Dolphins Raiders. We'll finish with that one.

39:40Wrapping up NFL Dailies, week one preview with a pair of games, including one that's going to be called by a man who tried to interrupt and ruin the show that we did earlier. Daniel Jeremiah, who's on the radio call for the Chargers. It's a home game. They're hosting the Cardinals. The Chargers are nine and a half point favorites. that Los Angeles Chargers are the biggest favorites of week one. How about that? I disagree with that.
40:10Jourdan Rodrigue:What could go wrong? I feel like the Jaguars should be bigger favorites than them. If I had to choose one team. I agree. Kevin Harlan, Trent Green, and Melanie Collins are on the call for CBS. I think I would take the Cardinals. Maybe I even will on our pick show, but we can only pick three. Would they be one of my top three picks? That's tough. What is your big question, Jordan? And I legitimately want you to answer this, Greg, because I feel like I've spent all offseason talking your ear off about this. Will the Cardinals offense be better than most people expect? Yes. Oh, yeah. Tell me why.
40:45Because they have better weapons than people recognize. The fact that Jeremiah Love is RB2 on the depth chart going into this week, I don't love to see that.
40:55Jourdan Rodrigue:That's just a status thing. Coaches do that dumb stuff all the time. It sounds like he'll probably return from the high ankle sprain this week. So if you combine him with Trey McBride, who, according to his peers, is a top 15 player in the entire NFL at any position, and a really fun young receiver group led by Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr., but a nice three in Kendrick Gordon, like you're cooking with gas. You have a franchise left tackle. It's a better infrastructure offensively than just about half the league. And I'm not saying Jacoby Brissett is better than half the league's quarterbacks, but it's a good offense.
41:30Jourdan Rodrigue:And guess what? You can play. I know Tip Raymond's hurt. It has been kind of coming back from an injury. He's like their number three tight end in a normal situation. But you can play 11 personnel because you got Kendrick Bourne, who has a longstanding relationship with Michael Floor, who I almost always call Matt when I first introduced him. And you could play 12 personnel with McBride and Elijah Higgins. You can play a lot of 11 personnel with Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson, and Kendrick Bourne. You can mix your different running backs looks because you got two running backs you can use. You can throw a fullback in there.
42:08Jourdan Rodrigue:They can do a lot of different types of things. They've got at least continuity. I think it's a middle-of-the-league-ish offensive line and with a higher ceiling, especially with this type of a scheme. I really buy it. I really buy it with these guys. question is your guy is Michael Fleur. Does he have the juice? Because that all that all works like just take if I gave Matt LeFleur all those players. You think Matt LeFleur is like kind of kind of mad looking at this roster. Oh, that's a no, I think he's rooting for his brother. You're only getting so many chances to be a head coach. So I think he wants him to have sure.
42:45But do you think he's kind of like you would take it?
42:47Jourdan Rodrigue:Oh, man, that roster. I would not if he has to give up Jordan Love. But if yeah, I think if you could big, big point here. the quarterback situation. If you could trade out everything but the quarterbacks, I actually would take the Cardinals over the Packers. That's including the offensive line. If you gave Matt LaFleur to the Cardinals, I'm changing my own personal line on this game to Chargers minus, let's say six, instead of nine and a half. Because I just need to know that Mike LaFleur actually can communicate. You know, everyone can come up with a different schematic ideas. Like, can you teach it?
43:21Can you install it? it's tough week one against what's now a veteran chargers defense. It's been, you know, period.
43:28Jourdan Rodrigue:So I'm not going to, I'm not going to judge them too harshly if they don't cover here, but I think they could give the defense of the chargers some problems. I think that, and I don't play fantasy football, but this, this particular could be a great fantasy football matchup because you do expect against a defense. If this family is, they don't want to give up the explosive play, but you could get a lot of yards and you could see a lot of productivity from some of these skill players. Chris O 'Leary's first year defensive coordinator for the Chargers. I like the potential. I'm curious to see. He's of the Jesse Minter coaching tree, essentially the former defensive coordinator, now the Ravens head coach.
44:06Jourdan Rodrigue:And Jim Harbaugh really believes in him and Jim Harbaugh hires good coaches. So for me, I give him a little bit more benefit of the doubt. And enough talent, like not top five. You're maybe not even top 10 talent, but talent that consistently outproduces kind of what it looks like on paper. Especially in the back end. And I think that's important. Yeah. I like this game. I like it. Sneaky, really fun game. Yeah. You can have this game if you want it late. This is a fun one. I mean, I would be happy too. I always love listening to Kevin Harlan. Oh, Kevin Harlan's on this. I'm taking this game. I love this game.
44:41I would love it if they mixed it up. You know, they changed a lot of the groups and stuff. Let's give someone Kevin Harlan can joke around a little bit more with. I think the Chargers have to win this game. They are going to play a compromised Raiders team week two in LA. You got to go 2-0. On paper, like strength of schedule, all this nonsense, Chargers have one of the toughest schedules in the league and yet they have the easiest weeks one and two of any team in the NFL. Two straight home games against two of the worst teams in the league on paper. So you got to go 2-0 and you have Mike McDaniel and he's been a September guy.
45:16Now that kind of fell off as the Dolphins tenure continued, but he started with being the Andy Reid guy where he had a ton of ideas and he killed people in September. And as high as I am compared to consensus on the Cardinals offense, I'm not on the defense. I think most people think the defense is not going to be good. And I think that's the direction they're headed. And, you know, they have to prove it otherwise.
45:41Jourdan Rodrigue:The potential for this being a points game for both teams to me is much higher than my extremely limited understanding of what that number is. I haven't even been going with the over-unders. I'm not that into them either. It's 47 and a half, which I would say week one is a little high. It's a little higher than average, but not that high. But part of it too is because I agree with you. I think Mike McDaniel, there's so much potential in this offense. Offensive line, yet again, still somewhat of a question. Nice to have the two, you know, Ents on the outside at tackle. We assume. We We hope because it's just more fun that way.
46:20Jourdan Rodrigue:We'll be back. Coyote, I wish, excuse me, I'm going to butcher this, but Coyote, I was Shika and Trey Pipkins have been competing at left guard. Don't love that, that that hasn't been like totally solidified. The most talked about guard battle in the NFL. There's guard battles everywhere. And for some reason, it's all anyone talks about with the chargers. Well, one of the chargers cursed positions is has to be on the interior offensive line somewhere. Right. So for me though, So it's important because I just, I love the way and the interior, it becomes so much more important because I really, really love the way Mike McDaniel, especially mixes the run in the past together, uses so many different types of personnel with, which the chargers have on this roster.
47:02Jourdan Rodrigue:I think Charlie Kolar, we saw it in camp is going to be the tight end is going to be absolutely one of the X factors on this team. I think they're going to try to have one on the depth chart. I think they're going to try to have them on the field every snap, if they possibly can playing a variety of different positions. They've obviously they use fullbacks that are very savvy with the system. I love their size at running back. I expect big things from Marion Hampton like this to me. There's so much fun potential. I can't stop thinking about that Rams Chargers preseason game that I called where the Chargers on both sides of the ball throughout a lot of different types of things that I think that they just they called a lot of a lot of stuff right that you don't usually see in a preseason game.
47:41Jourdan Rodrigue:I think about how multiple they ended up being on defense. They ran like six, one fronts against the Rams. And then on the other side of the ball, that beautiful Justin Herbert throw to Quinton Johnson, that was sprung open by like a motion. And I think about how much space Mike McDaniel somehow can always find on the field for any type of player. And I get really, really excited about this for the chargers and nervous for the, for the Cardinals defense. The Cardinals defense path is my guy, Walter Nolan, who was one of my five making the leap picks for this year, becoming a superstar, and Josh Sweat having kind of a tag team partner.
48:19We assume Josh Sweat is going to be out there. He's back at practice. He missed a lot of camp. There was trade rumors. They have some depth in terms of their pass rush. They have some hope that the secondary gets better. Garrett Williams is a good young player who's coming off a serious injury. Will Johnson is a high draft pick. A lot of people believe in. Buda Baker's still back there. There is a path to their coordinator, Nick Rallis, getting weird and throwing a lot of stuff at the Chargers offensive line and making them look like they're not quite ready for it week one. I don't think that's going to happen.
48:49I'm with you. I think there's going to be a lot of points in that nine and a half number. Yeah. Like, I'm smelling like a 35 to 26 game. You know, the Cardinals slide right under.
49:01Jourdan Rodrigue:This could easily turn out to be one of the most fun games of the week one, just for scoring. and weird stuff happening. I'll take you the weird Cardinals Chargers. I'll raise you. Dolphins at Raiders. Weird! Three and a half is the number. The Raiders are favored by more than a field goal. I know you don't know much about how this all works. That basically is saying they're better. It's not just they're at home. What's a field goal? Is this the last time all season the Raiders are favored by more than a field goal? well I mean that's gotta that's not my question what is your question I just was throwing that out there it's like that's an interesting thought experience experiment if you look like the odds are yeah probably but they do have a home game against the Titans that's probably the other chance um they have a road game against the Cardinals doubt that um I'll give you a real question okay my question for this team is just like what is this grand social experiment that are the 2026 Miami Dolphins actually look like on a football field?
50:06Because to me, they're like a process concept, but they actually have to play football. Can I give you some numbers to like back up this question?
50:15Jourdan Rodrigue:Yeah, but they're like one of those, you know, when you see those cars and they've got all the painted like squigglies all over them because they're a test car. No. And they're driving around the road and they've got these weird patterns so that the cameras can't like pick them up and see. No. On camera and see what the car model actually looks like. Have you never seen this before? I should know. I mean, you just got a new card. There's a lot of crazy Waymos out there, you know, with branding that I now notice. Sure, they're a test Waymo. That's the Dolphins. Some numbers. And this is from Doug Clausen at CBS Sports.
50:45But I just was like, wow, all these numbers are crazy. They, as we've mentioned on the show before, have the most dead cap money. So like money on players and not on the roster spent of all time. But here's just a few things that go along with that. they're still paying more on the cap to to a tongue of Iloa than the rest than their entire offense combined. That's fun. They have more rookies and more undrafted free agents than any team in the NFL. When they did cut down day, no other team claims more than three players because you got to cut three players from other teams. They claim seven players.
51:22Jourdan Rodrigue:Never a good sign for from other teams. And then here's the one I like best in terms of total starts, at least dating back. I think it was the 2001 when NGS started, they are the least experienced roster ever. Like in terms of NFL starts going into the season. Also they're starting at wide receiver, Chris Bell, who tore his ACL during last season, a rookie and Caleb Douglas, a rookie at wide receiver glass half full. They are soon to be not the least experienced team ever. because all of these guys are going to get a hell of a lot of snaps this year. And that is the point. This is a concept. This isn't a team right now.
52:01Jourdan Rodrigue:It is a concept. And Jeff Halfley just came right out and said it. He said, we just need to get better. That's all we need to do. That's why I'm insulted for the Cardinals that there's only two teams in the NFL whose win total is three and a half. And like everyone else is up at five or six and a half. And one of them is the Cardinals and one of them is the Dolphins. Like these two teams should not be similar, but the schedule's, you know, more favorable for the Dolphins. This is a winnable game for the Dolphins. If you're going to win one, this Raiders team, they have all sorts of questions as well.
52:28They're so new on defense. They spent so much money thinking that they weren't going to have Max Crosby. And now they do have Max Crosby on top of all the money on Quiddie pay and the linebackers that they spent. And Clint Kubiak is a guy who has shown, at least with New Orleans, but overall, like he can get his team starting fast. Do you think they start fast in what's going to be their most favorable will match up maybe in the season.
52:53Jourdan Rodrigue:The Brock Bowers news sort of. Oh, I buried, I buried the lead. My bad. We're taping this on Wednesday. Right as we started taping, we learned that Brock Bowers is out one to two weeks with a trim of his meniscus. Man, that is really disappointing news because he's been struggling with this knee injury now for over a year. Yeah, it's a bummer. He, I got to saw a little bit of him in camp. He was the only player who really could make productive plays against the Texans defense. and that was few and far between anyway. Clint Kubiak is actually pretty typically good at getting out to a fast start.
53:26Jourdan Rodrigue:He just kind of throws heat in these first couple of games of the season. He really likes to test space for defenses. Not as easy to do when one of your best downfield weapons will not be playing. And so for me, if I'm going to pick the thing that I'm most excited about the Raiders to watch what they can do conceptually, but then also in actuality, it's their run game. Tyler Linderbaum's there at center and Ashton Janty is probably going to play. There seems to be a lot of optimism that he's going to be able to be available week one. Our guy, Mike Washington Jr. behind him is a little bit of a one-two punch.
53:57Jourdan Rodrigue:I think you can get Ashton Janty involved in the passing game as well. Clint Kubiak historically likes to do that with the scheme that he designs. To me, I really, I'm weirdly excited for this game because I just want to see ideas in action. I am too. I think Malik Willis as a starting quarterback is going to be fascinating. I think he has a chance to break the all-time record for rushing yards for a quarterback in a season. It's been Lamar and then Michael Vick and Justin Fields. Like, pure running ability. He's right there with, I think, the best starting quarterbacks ever as just like how he can run.
54:34And I think he's going to need to run. It's just fascinating to see what this is going to look like. But this is a matchup where some weeks are going to be really hard. He could get pretty good protection. and I think he could find some open receivers in this game.
54:48Jourdan Rodrigue:Not a bad offensive line. If they can scheme up, I think the Raiders are going to like their pass rush, but in the back end, I think there's real questions. And then I am curious about how Kirk Cousins is going to look. I think he could be pretty good in this offense. I think he could play well enough that they don't have to play Mendoza for a little while. I've been saying over under is like week five or six, but I think Cousins is going to kind of do his part to not just make it easy. that he'll play a little better than people think. The only thing that I worry about with him, because I think mentally he's there, he's competitive still, the arm is sharp, like all this stuff.
55:26Jourdan Rodrigue:I don't buy that he can move the way that you need to move on some of the longer developing handoffs, the play action and the bootlegs that this offense will never quit in a million years. He might hurt the running game too. Yeah. Because it's just the play action, all that's going to be a problem. In a million years, if we are still, you know, if humanity still exists and there's football being played, the Kubiak system will still feature long ass bootlegs. And so that we're not even going to make it to the end of the decade. I don't know. Apparently so. Yeah. Apparently so. I was like, does that mean we have a decade more?
55:59Jourdan Rodrigue:Just another thing to worry about. According to the AI folks or like literally the end of this decade. Cause if that's the case, I'm out of here. Big question. There is no week two preview. I want to spend some time with my family. Do I want to be spending my time with you? I love this. You got to love what you do. And we do. We love football. I would want to do this on some level. But yeah. Maybe over the phone. I would want to spend a lot of time with my family. Just figure like we're running out of time. We have our picks coming up later in the week. And most importantly, Jordan and I will be part of this preview show, making predictions all season long.
56:39And we'll get some fun friends to join us. on Wednesdays. This time, we have to go with the Texans crew. That's us this year. You keep fist bump. I don't know why. I just, whenever I think that we pick the same Super Bowl, basically, NFL Daily, like, our integrity is based on the Texans this year. We'll see you next time!
