  • Wild Card instant takeaways: Jayden Daniels is a superstar, Love & Herbert fall flat | Inside Coverage
    2025/01/13

    In this episode of Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab give their instant reactions and takeaways from every game of the Saturday and Sunday Wild Card slate as NFL playoff action is officially underway. Before they start, the guys reflect on the New England Patriots' hiring of Mike Vrabel as their new head coach. Both agree that landing Vrabel is a home-run move for the franchise. However, with a roster still in need of a massive overhaul, it's clear that Vrabel's work is only beginning.

    The action heats up when the guys break down the Washington Commanders' victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where rookie QB Jayden Daniels’ poise under pressure continues to impress. Is the young QB having a better rookie year than C.J. Stroud did? Frank thinks so, calling him a top 5 quarterback in the league right now. Next, the conversation shifts to the Green Bay Packers' disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, with Fitz calling out Jordan Love for falling flat. Is Love still a top-tier quarterback?

    Later, Fitz & Frank cover the Denver Broncos losing to the Buffalo Bills, where Josh Allen’s brilliance stood out. Jason and Frank also delve into the ongoing struggles of the Pittsburgh Steelers under Mike Tomlin, and whether or not the team’s QB issues are the missing piece to their Super Bowl hopes. Plus, the duo explores the explosive Houston Texans’ defense and Justin Herbert’s struggles in big games. Fitz & Frank finish with their final predictions for Monday night's matchup between the Minnesota Vikings & Los Angeles Rams.

On the defensive side, Patrick Surtain II stood out as the top contender for Defensive Player of the Year with his lockdown play, while Dan Campbell's leadership and resilience in Detroit is compared to Kevin O'Connell's unbelievable turnaround of Sam Darnold's career in Minnesota for the Coach of the Year award.

Meanwhile, the Executive of the Year conversation highlighted the impressive work of Jason Licht for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Brad Holmes for the Detroit Lions, turning around their teams with savvy draft picks and trades. Wrapping things up, the guys discuss the candidates for Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year, including Jayden Daniels, Brock Bowers, Quinyon Mitchell, Jared Verse, Nate Wiggins and more.

    The 2024 NFL regular season is finally in the books and the blockbuster Sunday night finale between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings was a bit more lopsided than anticipated. Jared Goff and the Lions secured an overwhelming 31-9 victory in which Jahmyr Gibbs scored 4 touchdowns and the Vikings offense never got comfortable.

Next, they talk about the Denver Broncos blowing out the Kansas City Chiefs backups in order to punch their ticket into the AFC playoffs and how this came at the expense of the Cincinnati Bengals, who beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday.

    In the latter half of the show, the guys check in on the NFC South, where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured another division title and the Atlanta Falcons blowing a game in overtime to the Carolina Panthers.

    In a surprisingly swift bit of news, the New England Patriots fired head coach Jerod Mayo after just a single season after he had reportedly been the head coach in waiting for a number of years. Charles and Nate criticize the Patriots ownership and front office with the decision making and wonder if Mike Vrabel or Ben Johnson could be the next HC in Foxboro.

    Closing out the show, the run through some quick topics including the Tennessee Titans securing the top pick in this April's NFL draft, Trey Lance getting the start in Dallas over Cooper Rush and Tanner McKee looking solid in relief of Jalen Hurts in a Philadelphia Eagles win over the Giants.
