Charles McDonald is joined by SB Nation's Justis Mosqueda to dive into the latest in a wild week in the NFL world. The duo start by discussing AI making its way into the NFL before recapping the Greek tragedy that unfolded on the field in last night's Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets primetime matchup, which resulted in Aaron Rodger's unfortunate injury. Later, Charles and Justis give more analysis from NFL Week 1, including the teams they have the least faith in going forward, and cap off the show with analysis about the Green Bay Packers' impressive performance against the Bears and what it means for their season.2:50 - AI has made its way to the NFL and we're not sure how to feel about it. The Dallas Cowboys introduced a very creepy Jerry Jones AI portrait, while the Los Angeles Chargers had AI robots roaming the stadium on Sunday to promote a movie. Charles is creeped out.7:40 - Disaster struck the Jets on Monday night, as Aaron Rodgers is out for the season with an Achilles injury. Charles was at the game and describes one of the most drastic shifts in energy he's ever experienced in the crowd. The duo discuss where the Jets go from here, where the Jets went wrong this offseason and a concerning performance for the Bills' Josh Allen.30:00 - Charles and Justis dive into more takeaways from Week 1, including the apparent lack of development from the Chicago Bears and the Atlanta Falcons' refusal to use their most talented players. They each decide on a team they have the least faith in going forward.42:25 - Justis covers the Packers, and he was excited about QB Jordan Love's performance in Week 1. A discussion about the Packers win over the Bears ensues, and what Green Bay should expect in a matchup against the Falcons this Sunday.Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab recap an exciting first Sunday slate of NFL action. Fitz and Frank discuss every game one by one and give their instant takeaways and analysis. The duo focus specifically on the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns for their statement wins before giving their analysis on the rest of the games.00:45 - The Cowboys showed us who they are with their dominant victory over the New York Giants, who looked unprepared for the Cowboys defense.7:05 - It's time to believe in Tua Tagovailoa as one of the best in the NFL, as the Dolphins looked like true contenders in their gutsy win over the Los Angeles Chargers.15:00 - Frank was skeptical of Brock Purdy prior to today, but he looked fantastic as the 49ers steamrolled the Pittsburgh Steelers.20:25 - The Browns defense looked better than many anticipated as they shut down the Cincinnati Bengals offense, but the Bengals always start slow and should be okay going forward.28:40 - Mike Vrabel made a decision today that probably cost the Tennessee Titans the game, as the New Orleans Saints managed to hold them off.33:20 - Frank has been confident in the Green Bay Packers all offseason, and they showed today that they are going to challenge the Detroit Lions in the division. The Chicago Bears, on the other hand, look a little too similar to what they were last year.35:50 - Jimmy Garoppolo showed up when it counts to give the Las Vegas Raiders their first win of the season. Russell Wilson seemed to be playing it a little too safe according to Frank.38:40 - Both Trevor Lawrence and Anthony Richardson impressed, while the Jacksonville Jaguars managed to pull out a close win.41:05 - Fitz may have been wrong about the Patriots. They managed to hang around and give Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles a game.43:10 - Frank was shocked to see the Seattle Seahawks look this bad. The Rams young WRs looked great in Cooper Kupp's absence.45:25 - The J.K. Dobbins injury could prove costly for the Baltimore Ravens, who had a pyrrhic victory today over the Houston Texans and may need to seek veteran help.47:20 - Frank loves Kirk Cousins, but this was a classic Kirk Cousins game for the Minnesota Vikings. He had good stats, but not enough to win when it counted.49:40 - Neither Desmond Ridder nor Bryce Young played great today, but they'll need time to get settled into their offenses. The lack of targets for Kyle Pitts and Drake London was inexplicable.52:35 - The Arizona Cardinals came to play today, and Washington escaped with what Frank thinks is a disappointing win. They'll need to show up with more energy when they're not playing a team like the Cardinals.55:20 - Fitz and Frank look ahead to Monday night, where the Buffalo Bills take on the New York Jets. Is the best game of the week yet to come?Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald kick off the inaugural episode of Zero Blitz by recapping an exciting start to the NFL season, where the Detroit Lions managed to hold off the depleted Kansas City Chiefs for a big victory. The trio recap the game and decide what's real and what's fake coming out of it. Later, the crew break down the Nick Bosa and Joe Burrow contract extensions, including the interesting timing of the Burrow announcement. Finally, the hosts get you ready for Week 1 of NFL action by giving the game they're most excited to watch this weekend.7:30 - The Lions managed to hold on to beat a Chiefs team (without stars Travis Kelce and Chris Jones) by one point. This game showed that there's a limit to how much Mahomes can carry the team around him, as his receivers were repeatedly making unacceptable mistakes. On the Lions side, this is an exciting victory for a team that looks to be a true contender in the NFC, as their strengths were apparent and the defense (especially the secondary) seemed to be improved upon last year.19:15 - Real or Fake? The trio decide what we can really take away from this game. Most importantly, the Chiefs clearly need Chris Jones back ASAP, and the Lions' dominant offensive line is no joke. Chiefs fans don't need to freak out quite yet, but this loss could end up hurting them later in the season in a tight AFC race for the first seed.31:55 - Nick Bosa became the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, and shortly afterwards, Joe Burrow became the highest-paid player overall in NFL history. Robinson thinks there was something to the timing of the announcement (right as the Chiefs game started) that might have been meant to take away the spotlight from Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, but he can't be sure. McDonald is excited that both Mahomes and Burrow are under long-term contracts, as the Chiefs' rivalry with the Cincinnati Bengals will continue for years to come.44:20 - Each host gives a game they can't wait to watch this weekend for Week 1 of the NFL season. Charles McDonald is most excited for the Miami Dolphins to take on the Los Angeles Chargers to see if Tua Tagovailoa can pick up where he left off last year. Charles Robinson can't wait for the Buffalo Bills vs. the New York Jets on Monday night for all the storylines to come out of that game – no matter who wins. Fitz is excited to see the Pittsburgh Steelers against the San Francisco 49ers to see if two young quarterbacks can carry their talented rosters and make it a close game.Zero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Charles Robinson, Jori Epstein and Charles McDonald join forces for the last time as You Pod to Win the Game as they react to a wild news week around the NFL. Jonathan Taylor may never play another snap for the Indianapolis Colts, the Dallas Cowboys shock the world and trade for Trey Lance, Josh Jacobs gets a one-year deal, Joe Burrow returns to practice ahead of his contract extension, and the crew give their most surprising cuts from roster cutdown day.00:25 - Yahoo Sports has a new NFL podcast! Charles Robinson outlines the upcoming transition to Zero Blitz and what to expect as we level up our NFL coverage heading into the 2023 season.6:55 - The Colts' deadline to trade Jonathan Taylor has passed, and he will now start the season on the PUP list. Robinson believes Taylor will never play another snap for Indianapolis.The Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers have been named as potential trade partners, and it's looking like Taylor will be traded before the deadline in October.19:40 - The Dallas Cowboys acquired QB Trey Lance from the San Francisco 49ers in a move that the hosts agree makes very little sense. Even if Lance develops into a good quarterback over the next few years, you'll immediately have to pay him what Dak Prescott is already being paid.37:00 - Josh Jacobs and Las Vegas Raiders resolved their conflict as he receives a new deal. This patches things over for now, but if the Raiders struggle early, they're going to get phone calls about players like Jacobs, Davante Adams and Chandler Jones.42:35 - Joe Burrow has returned to practice for the Cincinnati Bengals. Robinson expects his looming contract extension to get done before he steps on the field in the regular season.50:00 - Most surprising cuts from roster cutdown day: the hosts are especially confused by the Arizona Cardinals cutting QB Colt McCoy, who was slated to be the starter all offseason with Kyler Murray out. It's clear the Cardinals are tanking for next season, but this move is still surprising.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

It's an exciting week in the NFL, and Charles McDonald and Frank Schwab are here to give their analysis on all the latest news. Will Levis has a lifetime mayonnaise sponsorship, Chris Jones is threatening to hold out deep into the regular season, Jonathan Taylor is seeking a trade, Baker Mayfield has been named the starter and the Baltimore Ravens lost their 24-game preseason win streak. Later, the duo each give a team that's changed their minds through their surprising play this preseason and check in on each of the rookie quarterbacks (plus Jordan Love) as the preseason starts to come to a close.6:00 - Kansas City Chiefs star DT Chris Jones has threatened to continue his holdout up to Week 8 of the regular season, which would cost him close to $10M in fines. Charles and Frank agree this likely a bluff for leverage, and they believe the contract could get done before the start of the season, even if it's not for the #30M+ that Jones is likely seeking.12:40 - Jonathan Taylor has been given permission to seek a trade. The hosts discuss some potential landing spots, although Charles is pretty convinced that Indianapolis is the best place for him to be. Frank would love to see the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills or even the Cincinnati Bengals make a play for the star RB.22:55 - Baker Mayfield has been named the starting QB for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a drawn-out competition. The Buccaneers are not likely to compete for much this year given Tom Brady's massive dead cap hit, even in a weak NFC South.32:35 - Teams that have changed our minds this preseason: Frank points out the Pittsburgh Steelers, as their offense looks to have taken a significant step under second-year QB Kenny Pickett. Charles likes what he's seen from the Washington Commanders, who have a loaded roster capable of making noise in the NFC East if QB Sam Howell can perform.39:50 - Jordan Love has been balling out so far this preseason for the Green Bay Packers. Frank thinks the Packers roster has been underrated this offseason, and that Love is capable of being a top-15 QB or better this year. That could be enough to win the NFC North.46:10 - Rookie QB check-in: It's been hard to evaluate Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young so far, as his offensive line hasn't been able to protect him. That's a major concern heading into the season. Houston Texans rookie C.J. Stroud has struggled a bit so far, and he's looked uncomfortable in the pocket. Charles thinks he needs to relax and settle into the Houston offense. Anthony Richardson has been lighting it up for the Indianapolis Colts, and Frank thinks a Cam Newton-like rookie season isn't off the table for him, as he can use his amazing size and speed to produce.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Charles Robinson, Jori Epstein and Charles McDonald give their analysis on the latest news around the NFL – including the Washington Commanders naming Sam Howell as their starter – and give their biggest takeaways from New York Jets training camp after visiting last week. The trio wrap up the show with their biggest takeaways so far this preseason: Jori on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB competition, Charles Robinson on the offensive line problem around the NFL and Charles McDonald on the Carolina Panthers and whether or not they can protect Bryce Young.4:25 - Sam Howell was named the starting quarterback for the Commanders, and while Robinson likes the move, McDonald doesn't see how Howell is a better option over Jacoby Brissett. The Charleses debate over which QB is the better option for the long term and the short term.20:10 - Jets training camp recap: Jori was interested in Dalvin Cook's lack of energy in his first press conference as a Jet, while McDonald is concerned about their situation at offensive tackle, and specifically how they plan to get the most out of Mekhi Becton this season.29:40 - Preseason takeaways: Charles Robinson thinks the NFL has an offensive line problem. Fewer and fewer prospects are coming out of college ready to pass protect in the NFL, and it's putting a heavy premium on good coaching. McDonald gives his thoughts on what's changed in recent years to cause this problem.44:50 - Jori wonders if it's time for concern that the Buccaneers still haven't named their starting QB between Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask. There is no sign of a decision being made despite players expressing their frustration. It's important that starting offenses have time to get on the same page – it's odd that it's taking this long.53:05 - C Mac doesn't like what he's seen from the Panthers offensive line so far, and he wonders if they'll be able to protect their rookie starter, Bryce Young. Young is already undersized for the position, and Carolina doesn't have the weapons at skill positions to make up for their pass blocking deficiencies.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein recap the whirlwind of news around the NFL, including the New York Jets signing Dalvin Cook, Jonathan Taylor returning to camp, the Dallas Cowboys paying Zack Martin and the New England Patriots signing Ezekiel Elliott. Later, the duo give their biggest takeaways from the latest training camps they've visited, including the Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys.1:50 - The Jets signed Dalvin Cook, who is the cherry on top for a roster that looks ready to compete for a Super Bowl. The Jets are officially all in, and it's hard not to project them as legitimate contenders barring some concerns along the offensive line.12:50 - Cowboys All-Pro guard Zack Martin gets paid, as he gets an $8M raise for the next two seasons. Martin is the kind of player who is a no-brainer to pay, but Dallas has a few big extensions coming up they'll have to plan for in guys like Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb.20:50 - The Patriots signed Ezekiel Elliott, who will complement Rhamondre Stevenson in a backfield that needed a short-yardage guy.24:25 - Jonathan Taylor returned to camp Monday, but there's no reason to think the tension between Taylor and the Indianapolis Colts is anywhere near resolved. Charles thinks the Colts would be right to pay Taylor, especially if they see Taylor and Richardson form a connection once the season starts. The running back market continues to be a hot topic of debate around the NFL.39:30 - Jori visited Cowboys camp and is most excited to see their wide receivers take a big step forward. Dak and his receivers have made their chemistry a huge point of emphasis, and they added speedy veteran Brandin Cooks.46:20 - Charles visited Steelers camp, and he thinks the connection between QB Kenny Pickett and his wide receivers (including Allen Robinson and George Pickens) has taken a jump. The AFC North will be a bloodbath this season.52:50 - Building off the focus on QB and WR connections, Jori saw improvements in the game of both Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown. Brown appears to have gotten faster, while Hurts has put work into his passing and hopes to build off of a lethal 2022 campaign.59:10 - Charles rounds out the podcast by giving his takeaway from Titans camp: this roster is being underrated. The defense is full of stars, while the offense seems to have added some exciting new pieces. If Ryan Tannehill can stay healthy, this team could compete in the AFC South.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson and Charles McDonald start by reacting to the latest news around the NFL, including their thoughts on the first episode of Hard Knocks, some concerning comments surrounding Joe Burrow's injury and the situation with Jonathan Taylor and Kareem Hunt in Indianapolis. Later, they give some takeaways from training camps they've visited over the last week, including the San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals.2:10 - The duo give their thoughts on the first episode of Hard Knocks featuring the New York Jets. While Robinson enjoyed the energy and thought it was full of intriguing characters, McDonald thought it was too favorable towards Aaron Rodgers and clearly whitewashed by the team. Both agree it lacked real investigative journalism, but Robinson points out that you shouldn't expect that from a show like Hard Knocks anymore.17:50 - Could Joe Burrow miss the first month of the season? WR Ja'Marr Chase made some comments that hint Burrow could miss regular season time. Robinson says if he were a Cincinnati Bengals fan, he'd be concerned that Burrow's calf injury could be more serious than the team is letting on.24:15 - RB Kareem Hunt was brought in for a workout with the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts, who are both looking for backfield help after Alvin Kamara's three-game suspension and Jonathan Taylor's extended hold out, respectively. Robinson and McDonald both agree the best path forward for the Colts is to extend Taylor, who is the type of running back worth paying.41:10 - Charles Robinson was at 49ers camp and thinks the quarterback race has been decided already. Sam Darnold and Trey Lance struggled mightily, and Brock Purdy appears to be the guy heading into this season. The team hopes he can repeat the magic from his 2022 campaign.48:40 - Charles McDonald visited Ravens camp, and he is curious to see how this new-look offense will take shape. Will they ask QB Lamar Jackson to run as much as he has been in previous years, or will they allow him to command a more modern pass-heavy offense? Lamar looks like he's put on muscle and should have one of his best seasons ever if he can stay healthy.55:20 - Robinson's main takeaway from Broncos training camp: decisiveness. Head coach Sean Payton clearly knows how he wants the team to be run, and it's immediately clear that he's establishing his culture already. There are a few injuries to be concerned about for Broncos fans, but the defense looks to be good once again while the offense hopes to bounce back with QB Russell Wilson in great shape.1:01:30 - Robinson was at Cardinals training camp, and he was impressed by new head coach Jonathan Gannon's energy, and even said Gannon reminded him of when Mike Tomlin first took over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Cardinals are going to build around their defense and try to fix a culture that had been lacking over the past few years. He also thinks Gannon will put his weight behind QB Kyler Murray and won't look to move on in next year's draft without cause.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein react to the latest news out of NFL training camp, including the contentious situation between the Indianapolis Colts and Jonathan Taylor, Joe Burrow's calf injury and the Denver Broncos WR injuries. Later, the duo attempt to answer some of the biggest questions to come out of the training camps they visited, including the Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams, Chicago Bears and Las Vegas Raiders.3:55 - Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor has requested a trade, and tempers have boiled over after owner Jim Irsay made some odd comments about the situation. Both hosts agree it's very possible Taylor never plays another snap for the Colts, but Jori has trouble seeing how the Colts get much return in a trade given the availability of other cheaper running backs already in free agency. Irsay has made the situation harder to deal with for the Colts front office, and it appears one camp will need to make major concessions in order to get this resolved.12:35 - Should Joe Burrow step on the field again before his contract has been signed given his calf injury? Jori talked to agents and front office executives, the majority of which believed it would be in Burrow's best interest to "hold in" until he becomes the NFL's next highest-paid player. The injury likely won't affect the dollar amount of the contract, but it has shifted the tone of the negotiations and added urgency to the situation.20:25 - The Broncos had some unfortunate injury luck in their wide receiver room, as Tim Patrick is out for the season with a heartbreaking achilles injury. KJ Hamler will also miss time dealing with a minor heart condition. On the bright side, Charles points out this opens up opportunities for players like second-round pick Marvin Mims, who head coach Sean Payton is reportedly excited about.27:20 - Have the Seahawks made up enough ground on the San Francisco 49ers to challenge for the NFC West title? Jori was at Seahawks camp and believes there is enough talent to give the 49ers a run for their money. Jori is most excited about the lethal WR trio in DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba, while Charles is rooting for a return to a dominant running style with RBs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.32:35 - How far can the Rams go this season with such a top-heavy roster? Charles thinks the best case for this roster is about nine wins, even with Matthew Stafford, Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp and Sean McVay. While at camp, Charles said you can tell the team hasn't had a first-round pick since 2016.45:35 - Is Bears QB Justin Fields ready to take the year three Josh Allen leap? Jori said reports were all positive coming out of Bears camp so far, but it's important to not set the bar too high with Fields. The style of offense the Bears are running won't require Fields to be an air raid quarterback, and fans shouldn't be expecting that from him. If Fields does improve upon last year, the Bears will be set up well to be serious competitors in the NFC.51:15 - Should the Raiders keep WR Davante Adams on the roster? Only one season removed from the Raiders acquiring the star receiver from the Green Bay Packers, the team already looks to be in a different competitive phase. While they aren't tanking, it doesn't appear the Raiders will be ready to contend for a Super Bowl this season. Charles believes Vegas will need about three years before they are seriously competitive again. Is it smart to keep an expensive 30-year old wideout throughout that period? It will be interesting to see how the Raiders handle this dilemma.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

On Tuesday afternoon, Justin Herbert became the highest paid QB in the league...for now. Despite signing the league's richest QB deal, after Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson did the same earlier this offseason, all eyes now shift to Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow, who was selected five picks ahead of Herbert and has won considerably more playoff games in their short careers.Charles Robinson is joined by Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein to talk about what Justin Herbert's deal means for both the Los Angeles Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals. With QB money going up and up, who will be the first franchise QB to not command upwards of $40 million (or $50 million) per year?Next, they chat about New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley receiving some paltry incentives added onto his one-year deal, and how the potential $900k Barkley could receive will be very hard to earn and does nothing to change how running backs are paid in the league.Later, Jori talks about what she learned visiting Cleveland Browns camp this week & Robinson reports from Dallas Cowboys camp, where there are high expectations for success in an easy-to-win NFC landscape.3:15 - Justin Herbert's extension & Joe Burrow's impending deal26:30 - Saquon Barkley's underwhelming contract win40:10 - All eyes on Deshaun Watson at Cleveland Browns camp48:50 - It's win-now mode at Dallas Cowboys campStay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.
