On today’s episode of “Fearless,” Jason explains that offenses in the NFL have become downright offensive. The final three games of the NFL playoffs highlighted the lack of offensive ingenuity. LeSean McCoy claimed that the Philadelphia Eagles' offense was limited because Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is incapable of executing exotic elements of different formations. Jason ponders whether we’re watching the death of the RPO offenses. Danny Kanell joins Jason to discuss these topics, while answering the question of whether Aaron Rodgers or Mike Tomlin is worthy of another season in Pittsburgh. Kanell reveals whether he believes in Caleb Williams and if the 2025 Indiana Hoosiers are a historically great football team. Jay Skapinac is next up, discussing another Steelers playoff decimation before delving into the NBA world, sharing his thoughts on whether the Oklahoma City Thunder are what we thought they were and if the Lakers should trade Austin Reaves. Lastly, Jason gives his thoughts on reporter Lynn Jones-Turpin's viral clip praising Liam Coen's first season as head coach.
