It’s time for Week 5 of the NFL season, and as always, Greg Cosell of NFL Films and ESPN’s NFL Matchup, and Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire and the USA Today Sports Media Group get you ready with tons of tape study and advanced metrics.
This week, Greg and Doug get into:
- When you’re a month in to the season, how much can you base your scouting on trends and repeatable patterns?
- How Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams control the middle of the field, especially with Puka Nacua;
- Why the Philadelphia Eagles could be challenged by Matthew Stafford, Nacua, and that Rams passing game;
- Why the Buffalo Bills were able to stop the Miami Dolphins’ high-flying offense, and what that means for the Jacksonville Jaguars;
- What the Dallas Cowboys’ red zone issues are, and why it’s a bad deal against a highly disciplined San Francisco 49ers defense;
- And why Zach Wilson of the New York Jets looked like a completely different quarterback against the Kansas City Chiefs.
