You Pod To Win The Game

Here at the Yahoo Sports NFL Podcast, we take care of our own… and sometimes that means NFL franchises. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the pod by breaking down the Twitter meltdown over the new Los Angeles Rams logo and how Charles might have helped the franchise in the long run. (00:27) Later, Charles and Terez continue to dive into the latest CBA talks. Is there cautious optimism from the union at this point in the negations? What is the one thing a powerful agent believes will be the reason the deal passes? (7:48) Speaking of contracts, it has been reported that the Cowboys offered Dak Prescott a new deal averaging $33 million dollars a year. Will Prescott accept the offer and why would he trade the leverage he has going into 2020? (18:23) Terez and Charles close the podcast by looking at a few interesting players that could be franchise tagged in the coming days. Also, who is the one free agent that has Charles and Terez more excited than the rest due to his potential impact on the draft, specifically Washington’s #2 overall pick?

A lot can happen over the course of a week. Since the last episode of the Yahoo Sports NFL Podcast, ESPN's Jeff Darlington reported that sources expect Tom Brady to hit free agency with the assumption he'll be playing outside of New England and just yesterday, multiple reports cited a phone call between Brady and Bill Belichick that "did not go well." Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson interpret the growing reports that TB12 will hit free agency, the increasingly strong rumors the San Francisco 49ers would make a play for him and throw a bit of cold water on the idea that multiple teams are going after the legend. (2:25) They devote much of the rest of the show to recapping the final days of the combine. Could as many as four QBs be drafted in the top 10? Is Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts a good fit backing up Drew Brees in New Orleans? What's the deal with that Washington lineman who joked in an interview about his...anatomy? Does a free agency rumor about an offensive lineman hint that the Redskins might indeed be interested in drafting Tua Tagovailoa? (13:20) Later, our experts touch on a number of smaller news stories from around the NFL. What's the latest with the proposed new CBA? (37:35) With the Jaguars trading CB A.J. Bouye to the Broncos, the Chris Harris, Jr. era in Denver is apparently over. (44:50) Terez talks about where the Kansas City Chiefs are at with WR Sammy Watkins and previews his interview from earlier in the day with Patrick Mahomes. (46:45) Finally, they discuss the Cincinnati Bengals, owners of the first overall pick. Historical organizational ineptitude aside, Terez makes the case their offense could show flashes of the 2018 LA Rams very soon if they make the right moves to complement presumably drafting Joe Burrow (49:00) Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.

Lies, deception, half-truths, bad weather and the 40-yard dash. It's just another year at the NFL scouting combine. Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson report on everything they've been seeing and hearing from coaches, executives and the incoming rookie class at the league's annual winter gathering in Indianapolis. First, they give the latest on the new CBA between the owners and the NFLPA. As players are expected to vote on the new deal as early as Thursday, the guys break down the immense amount of money that may flow into the league as a result, why players are split on it, and how the 2020 agreement may all be a stepping stone to an even more lucrative 2030 agreement (1:55). Also on the show: - What will Kansas City do with limited cap space and impending deals for Patrick Mahomes, Chris Jones and Frank Clark? (15:10) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers HC Bruce Arians drops Philip Rivers name as a potential Winston replacement. (17:30) - Carolina Panthers reportedly open to trade for most of their roster. What will they do with Cam and could they trade up for Tua? (21:25) - What will Washington & Detroit do with second and third overall picks? (25:45) - LSU outside linebacker Patrick Queen is shooting up draft boards. (27:50) - What will Dave Gettleman do with Giants' fourth overall draft pick? (30:35) - Does LSU have the most stacked draft class this year? (33:00) - Georgia's Jake Fromm is making an impression in Indianapolis, despite his hand size. (41:00) - What round will former Oklahoma and Alabama QB Jalen Hurts be drafted? (42:35) - Who will turn out to be the better Alabama WR: Jerry Jeudy or Henry Ruggs III? (47:00) - One colossus stands above the rest of the offensive line class (50:30) Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.

After a two-week hiatus, Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson are back from their post-Super Bowl vacations and ready to preview the exciting February through April stretch of the NFL offseason, which includes, the combine, free agency and the draft. After giving their thoughts on the Houston Astros' cheating scandal and a surprisingly competent first two weeks of the XFL season, Terez & Charles strongly debate the pros and cons of the NFL adding a 17th game to the season and if Monday Night Football should get the flex treatment. (8:45) Moving onto next week's scouting combine, our experts break down the big quarterback choice likely facing the Miami Dolphins at the fifth overall pick between Oregon's Justin Herbert and Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa. (24:30) They also dove into Utah State's Jordan Love and Georgia's Jake Fromm, likely mid-round picks who could sneak into the first round with a successful combine. (37:00) Charles & Terez try to predict the second QB off the board and compare this year's class to last year's rookie QBs (42:35), then wrap up the show entertaining rumors that LSU's Joe Burrow could try to leverage his way out of Cincinnati in a move reminiscent of Eli Manning forcing his way out of San Diego (45:35).

For a while there, it felt like the magic had truly run out two weeks ago versus Tennessee. The Kansas City Chiefs were down by 10 for much of the second half after the San Francisco 49er defense had picked off Patrick Mahomes twice. Maybe a third double-digit comeback wasn't in the cards this time. Except we all know the ending. The 2019 Kansas City Chiefs are your Super Bowl LIV champions. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson chop it up in the wee hours of the morning from inside Hard Rock Stadium in Miami to recap the game that the Chiefs take home their second Lombardi trophy since 1970. They salute the Chiefs' resiliency, the four meaningful calls that went against the San Francisco 49ers, and toast Super Bowl Champion Andy Reid. Later, they discuss Patrick Mahomes' legacy as a 24-year-old Super Bowl MVP, which Chiefs players are about to get paid, where the 49ers go from here and the spectacle of the Super Bowl (including that half-time show).

With only a few short days left before Super Bowl LIV between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson are joined on Radio Row in Miami by Dan Wetzel of the Yahoo Sports College Podcast and Netflix's Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez. Before they break down the game, the guys have to bury the hatchet. Dan grills Charles about being 30 minutes late to the podcast in Miami traffic and Terez tells a story about Dan & Charles from the night before that involves a thunderstorm, cigars and the hotel swimming pool (0:20) The guys preview Sunday's Super Bowl by each picking the game (5:45), then diving into the intriguing coaching matchup between Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan. Will Reid finally get over the Super Bowl hump and add a Lombardi to his résumé? Can Kyle Shanahan prove that the young hot-shot coach can beat the grizzled vet? (9:45) Later, they wonder if the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes could go on a run of Super Bowl victories if they win on Sunday (17:40) and outline what the 49ers have to do on offense to outlast Kansas City (25:45). Finally, they wrap up the show breaking down the strange vibe in Miami this year (30:00) and make fun of the NFL's tradition of awarding the Lombardi Trophy to the owner before handing it off to the coach and players.

Taped live at Radio Row at Super Bowl LIV in Miami, Charles Robinson & Terez Paylor chat about their initial thoughts and findings after two days on the ground in Florida. They discuss the somber shadow of Kobe Bryant that hangs over this week's festivities and how it turned the always-eccentric media night into a more subdued evening (4:00). Later they tackle a few interesting items from around the league including Jay Glazer's report that the Los Angeles Chargers will not pursue resigning Philip Rivers and what that means for the future of the Bolts (11:00), how Oregon's Justin Herbert is creeping up draft boards (16:25) and the Cleveland Browns finally completing their GM search by hiring Andrew Berry (18:45). They guys wrap up the show taking a trip to Charles Robinson's Conspiracy Corner. This may be the final Super Bowl with paper tickets.

It's official. Daniel Jones is the king of the Giants and Eli Manning is officially retiring as of this Friday. The two time Super Bowl MVP is hanging up the cleats and Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson reflect on his legacy and suggest it's not a matter of if, but when Eli will make the Hall of Fame (0:20). Later in the show, Charles & Terez dissect the last two weeks' worth of stories surrounding former Steelers, Raiders and Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown, culminating arrest warrant for Brown issued late Tuesday evening by police in Hollywood, Florida.

(24:10) They also analyze Jay Gruden's fit with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he recently was announced as their next offensive coordinator (31:45).

Two games down, one game left. Terez Paylor spent the day at Arrowhead Stadium. Charles Robinson calls in from Levi's Field. They recap a pair of admittedly underwhelming football games that yielded the best possible result of the four remaining teams. In two weeks, the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs will face off in a battle of Mahomes vs Garoppolo & Shanahan vs. Reid. The guys start the show discussing the killer matchup before diving specifically into the Kansas City/Tennessee game (3:10) and then later, the San Francisco/Green Bay game (23:15).

Sunday brings two incredible conference championship matchups in Tennessee at Kansas City and Green Bay at San Francisco, but before Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson break down those games, there was a flourish of interesting offensive coordinator moves to address from the first half of this week. Before they get to the OC carousel, Charles and Terez address the late-night surprise retirement of Carolina Panthers LB Luke Kuechly. Continuing the trend of great players in their 20s to hang up their cleats early, Charles and Terez address his legacy and chew over whether he and other recent retirees should make it to the Hall of Fame. (0:20) The Carolina Panthers made a big splash on Tuesday afternoon before Kuechly's retirement, announcing that LSU passing-attack coordinator Joe Brady would be assuming the role of offensive coordinator in Matt Rhule's new staff. What does this mean for the Panthers and Cam Newton? (14:30) In Denver, the Broncos surprisingly fired OC Rich Scangarello after only one season in the middle of last Sunday's Chiefs game and replace him with former Giants coach Pat Shurmur. The guys talk about how this signals a new arms race in the AFC West. (23:10) The Jacksonville Jaguars fired OC John Defilippo this weekend, as well. Does this mean the Jags are making a commitment to Gardner Minshew? (29:30) Wrapping up the OC moves, the Chicago Bears hired former Bengals coordinator Bill Lazor. Does this signal that the Bears could be interested in the very available Andy Dalton or just a change of offensive philosophy for Mitchell Trubisky? (33:40) And now to the big games, Charles & Terez break down what the Tennessee Titans need to do to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs (38:35) and what they're looking forward to when the Green Bay Packers face off against the San Francisco 49ers (52:10).

We hope you didn't turn the Kansas City/Houston game after the Texans blasted off to an insane 24-0 lead in the first half because some things happened after that. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open this Sunday night podcast with the Chiefs incredible comeback win over the Texans that instantly became one of those classic games the NFL Network replays late at night when there's nothing else in the news. They discuss the two points early on in the game where Houston lost the game and Patrick Mahomes' herculean "over my dead body" effort. (0:35) The Baltimore Ravens are also licking their wounds after the AFC's other outstanding matchup. Charles & Terez experts praise the Tennessee Titans' monstrous effort to shut down the league's best team and lament some fans' recency bias towards Lamar Jackson. (15:00) The NFC championship was set late Sunday night after the Green Bay Packers held serve at home against the Seattle Seahawks. Are Aaron Rodgers and the Packers finally firing on all cylinders in January? (23:30) Hosting the NFC title game is, of course, the San Francisco 49ers. Our experts praise Robert Saleh's defense, which held the Minnesota Vikings to only 10 points as the 49ers might be the most scary and balanced team remaining in the playoffs. (27:40) It goes without saying that coming out of that game, Terez & Charles also dive into the Cleveland Browns hiring Minnesota Vikings OC Kevin Stefanski as their next head coach. What is his fit with the organization and with Baker Mayfield, why didn't the heavily rumored Josh McDaniels ultimately not take the job and can we trust owner Jimmy Haslam not to mess this new situation up?

After the Cowboys stole the spotlight from the Seahawks' wild card win on Sunday night by announcing mid-game that they'd be parting ways with Jason Garrett, they kept hold of the news-cycle into Monday morning when news broke that Mike McCarthy would be his replacement. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson break down the pros and cons of the new head coaching hire in Dallas, some common criticisms of the former Packer coach and if the Cowboys should've gone after a younger coach from the college ranks instead. (0:15) Going after a successful college coach is exactly what the Carolina Panthers did when they landed Baylor's Matt Rhule for an unprecedented 7-year, $60m deal. Terez & Charles dissect owner David Tepper's big splash and the new coach's fit with the organization. (20:25) In more of a head-scratching move, the New York Giants landed on Joe Judge for their head coaching vacancy, formerly the receivers coach and special teams coordinator of the New England Patriots. What is known about Judge and can he survive in the pressure cooker that is the New York media landscape? (28:15) Wrapping up the head-coaching musical chairs, our experts break down where the Cleveland Browns are in their coaching search (37:35) before diving into the dissatisfaction surrounding the fact that Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy has yet to land a head coaching gig. Is it a failure of the Rooney Rule or someone else? (42:45) Terez & Charles take a pair of listener questions on the Texans and Cowboys (45:18) before breaking down all four divisional round matchups this weekend: Vikings/49ers, Titans/Ravens, Texans/Chiefs and Seahawks/Packers.

In a Wild Card round where two games went to overtime and the other two were decided by only one possession, of course the biggest story from the weekend had to come from the Dallas Cowboys – who didn't even play! Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson open this Sunday night podcast with Kirk Cousins' demon-shedding overtime win in the Superdome against the New Orleans Saints (0:20) before addressing the elephant in the room: the Dallas Cowboys finally fired Jason Garrett. Terez & Charles discuss a possible blockbuster move Jerry Jones could orchestrate to land one of the league's elite coaches. (12:05) The Cowboys news completely overshadowed the Seattle Seahawks 19-7 win over an injured Philadelphia Eagles squad. Our experts praise the Seahawks' strong defense and give their initial thoughts about their matchup in Green Bay next weekend. (28:45) Later, they recap Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans' impressive win over the New England Patriots and explore the chances that Tom Brady will leave for another team this offseason. (26:45) Finally, they relish in the craziness that was the Houston Texans/Buffalo Bills game on Saturday afternoon. DeShaun Watson willed the Texans to win like vintage Michael Jordan, Josh Allen threw the ball all over the place & Bills Mafia showed up to arguably the most fun game of the weekend.

Black Monday in the NFL is known for the avalanche of coach and GM hirings, but the Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys extended the suspense into Tuesday. Terez Paylor and Charles Robinson react to the spate of firings in Cleveland, New York and elsewhere in the days following the end of the 2019 regular season. They lead off the show with the Cleveland Browns firing GM John Dorsey 48 hours after they let go of head coach Freddie Kitchens. What led to this changeover within the Browns and who could they hire to replace him, knowing that Paul DePodesta still has power in Cleveland? (0:15) They shift their focus to the New York Giants firing head coach Pat Shurmur, keeping GM Dave Gettleman and focusing their head coaching search on Baylor's Matt Rhule. (16:30) Moving to Dallas, at the time of this writing and recording, Jason Garrett is still the head coach of the Cowboys. From what they're hearing, Charles & Terez believe the organization is allowing him to say his goodbyes before letting him go. With that in mind, they lay the Garrett era to rest and explore the possibility that Urban Meyer, Lincoln Riley or Greg Roman could be the next head coach in Big D. (26:45) Elsewhere in the NFC East, Washington made the first head coach hire while other teams were still firing their guys. Ron Rivera will be the next coach in burgundy and gold. Our experts react to the news and hope that some stability will return to the snake-bit organization. (35:50) Terez and Charles wrap up their coaching discussion on the Jacksonville Jaguars retaining Doug Marrone (41:25) before diving into the weekend's four wild card games: Bills at Texans, Titans at Patriots, Vikings at Saints and Seahawks at Eagles (48:50).

The 2019 regular season ended with a number of moments that seemed to perfectly encapsulate the season: another missed defensive pass interference call, a Jameis Winston pick-six, the Detroit Lions losing in heartbreaking fashion. Some things never change. Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson recap the final weekend of the 2019 NFL season, starting with the Seahawks controversial loss to the 49ers in primetime and the subsequent playoff repercussions, the Patriots even more surprising loss to the Dolphins (4:35) and the disappointing resolution to the NFC East (13:00). Later in the show, they touch on a hard-nosed Tennessee Titans team that seemingly no one wants to play in January (21:05), the Cleveland Browns firing head coach Freddie Kitchens after one season (26:15), the Broncos having a summer to build around Drew Lock (37:40) and whether Kyler Murray should win rookie of the year (48:25).
