A deep dive into Matt Patricia's "NFLized" Ohio State defense, the Cowboys' defensive struggles under Eberflus, and why Mike Vrabel has the Patriots looking like a legit threat.

—

In this episode:

*Penn State’s season is considered a “total collapse” after starting the year with national championship expectations. The team’s struggles, which began at halftime of the Oregon game, ultimately led to the firing of Head Coach James Franklin.

*The reigning champion Ohio State Buckeyes look even better this season, with their defense being “NFLized” by new coordinator Matt Patricia. He has introduced more complex schemes, including half-field zones, mixed coverages, and blitzing off of motion, which have made their already talented unit more formidable.

*The reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles are faltering, having lost back-to-back games after starting the season undefeated. The hosts criticize the offense, which is now being called by Nick Sirianni again, as looking like a “high school offense” that lacks creativity.

*The Kansas City Chiefs’ offense is officially back after putting up 30 points in a blowout win against the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football. The hosts believe the Chiefs’ defensive scheme, which favors a 4-3 base defense, was a perfect situational matchup to stop the Lions’ run-heavy offense.

*Several underdog teams are proving they are legitimate threats. Indiana, once considered just a “basketball school,” looks revitalized under coach Kurt Signetti. In the NFL, the New England Patriots are now considered a “legit AFC threat” under Mike Vrabel and quarterback Drake May.
