Mike Vrabel to the Jets? plus Baker Mayfield among Pro Bowl SNUBS & Eagles sitting Saquon vs. Giants | Inside Coverage
Description
In this episode ofInside Coverage, hosts Jason Fitz, Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab dive deep into the latest coaching rumors and news across the NFL. With the New York Jets already making moves early in the offseason, the team’s pursuit of former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel is front and center. The hosts explore whether Vrabel would want the job in New York, plus the ramifications of the Chicago Bears missing out on their first shot to interview Vrabel and the potential of Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as a future head coach. The trio also touch on Mike McCarthy and whether or not he's jockeying for leverage with the Dallas Cowboys given recent rumors.
Later in the show, the three hosts tackle the controversial Pro Bowl rosters and debate the biggest snubs of the season, including Brian Thomas Jr, Baker Mayfield and more.
Saquon Barkley likely won't play on Sunday despite having an opportunity to break the single season rushing record, and Fitz and Jori have thoughts on what goes into that decision and whether or not the Philadelphia Eagles are making the right call. Finally, the episode wraps up with predictions for the Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions game, where all three hosts agree that the Vikings have the edge despite the Lions’ impressive season.
