CBS Sports Roughing the Passer Podcast

Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson discuss the Cowboys' impressive road win against the Seahawks and what it means for the balance of power in the NFC. It's fun (and easy) to mock Jerry Jones, but he currently owns one of the best teams in football. The Seahawks' D, meanwhile, doesn't look nearly as menacing as a season ago, and that could be a problem if the offense can't consistently score. Brinson and Wilson also hit the highlights from the rest of the weekend's action.

Ryan Wilson and Jon Breech talk about the Colts' hold-on win in Houston on Thursday night before looking ahead to Sunday's slate of games. Can the Bengals bounce back against the Panthers? Is there any way the Jets cover against the Broncos? What about the Cowboys in Seattle? And Breech officially apologizes for saying that Cincy would "demolish" New England in Week 5.

Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson look ahead to Thursday night's Colts-Texans AFC South Matchup. Indy punter Pat McAfee joins the show to talk football, JJ Watt and ... Ric Flair (WOOO!).

Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson recap the Patriots' dismantling of the Bengals on Sunday Night football and what it means for both teams in their respective divisions, as well as the AFC. We also talk about Peyton Manning surpassing 500 career touchdown passes, a Cowboys team we all have to take seriously in the NFC East, and preview the Seahawks-Redskins Monday Night Football showdown.

Ryan Wilson and John Breech look ahead to the Week 5 matchups, including the Bengals-Patriots (is there any chance New England can win?), Ravens-Colts (Andrew Luck continues to make his case as one of the NFL's best QBs), Texans-Dallas (both teams are a surprising 3-1), Cardinals-Broncos (can Arizona's D slow Peyton?) as well as the rest of Sunday's action.

Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson talk about the whooping the Chiefs put on Tom Brady and the Patriots Monday night, what (if anything) replacing Dennis Allen with Tony Sparano means for the Raiders, and look ahead to Thursday night's Vikings-Packers matchup.

Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson recap the Cowboys' dismantling of the Saints and talk about what it means for the balance of power in the NFC East, NFC South and the conference overall. Do we have to take Dallas seriously now? Is New Orleans nothing more than a run-of-the-mill outfit? Other topics include the Steelers' embarrassing home loss to the Bucs, the return of Aaron Rodgers, the debut of Teddy Bridgewater and Blake Bortles and Steve Freaking Smith.

Ryan Wilson and John Breech recap the whooping the Giants put on the Redskins Thursday night and wonder what storyline has more of a shelf life: Eli Manning is finally a comfortable-in-the-pocket, high-percentage passer or Kirk Cousins is nothing more than a backup quarterback who, when forced into the starting lineup, is a turnover machine? In related news: Robert Griffin III suddenly looks like a swell consolation prize. We also preview the rest of the Week 4 action.

Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson wonder what the Sam Hill Dolphins coach Joe Philbin is thinking with third-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill, debate whether Steelers' running back Le'Veon Bell has catapulted himself to the top of the "NFL's best backs" list, and discuss which 2-1 team is most likely to slip (Hello, Carolina and Houston!). Finally, they preview the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Giants and Redskins.

Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson talk about the Steelers' big win over the Panthers on Sunday night (are they back?), Kirk Cousins' impressive performance in the 'Skins' loss to the Eagles, whether the Chargers are the best team in the AFC West, and if the Bengals are the best team in the entire conference. We also discuss rookie quarterbacks Teddy Bridgewater and Blake Bortles making their NFL debuts.

Ryan Wilson, Josh Katzowitz and Will Brinson recap the Falcons' complete and utter dismantling of the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football -- and what, if anything, that says about Lovie Smith's team -- before turning our attention to the rest of the Week 3 action, including the all-important (to us, anyway) Steelers-Panthers get-together.

Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson discuss the latest developments in the NFL's domestic-violence problem before turning their attention to actual football -- specifically, Thursday night's matchup between the 0-2 Buccaneers and 1-1 Falcons.

Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson talk about the Bears' come-from-behind win in San Francisco, the AFC East-leading Bills (!) and the NFC South-leading Panthers (!), the Chargers' making a move in the AFC South, and what -- if anything -- this Week 2 win means for the Cowboys.

Ryan Wilson and Josh Katzowitz recap the Steelers-Ravens Thursday night game and wonder what this means for both teams in the AFC North. They then preview the rest of the Sunday slate of games around the NFL.

Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson talk about the Ray Rice surveillance video that was released Monday showing the former Ravens running back punching his soon-to-be wife in the face and knocking her unconscious. The league originally suspended Rice two games but after the Ravens cut Rice Monday afternoon, that suspension became indefinite. Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league say they never saw the video but are they telling the truth? And more importantly, does it matter?
