NFL teams have spent a whole lot of resources upgrading on the offensive side of the ball this offseason, but which ones actually improved enough to catch our attention? Jared Dubin joins the show to break down his system for ranking every offense in the NFL after free agency and the draft. You better believe Jared is buying into the Buccaneers bandwagon, and in spite of some key offseason personnel changes, Dubin buried the Giants as having one of the NFL's worst. The crew breaks down several key standout teams -- both for better or worse -- in an all-encompassing offensive preview.
The start of the NFL season is still months (maybe longer) away, and we are still about 24 hours away from the official schedule release, but is it ever really too early to make predictions on the division winners and the wildcard teams who will be competing in the 2020 postseason? NFL Insider Jason La Canfora thinks not. La Canfora combines everything he's learned from sources with his own analysis of the 2020 offseason to come up with a slew of teams primed to make a run at the Lombardi. The AFC East finally goes to a team not named the Patriots, Tom Brady wastes no time continuing to build on his legacy, and four new teams who missed the postseason in 2019 qualify in 2020.
The NFL schedule release is set for Thursday evening, so we will have to wait a little longer, but the current times have made us all a little less patient. Thus, we figured why not make a prediction on who will be playing in the opener. John Breech used his detective work to figure out the Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs are likely to make one half of the opener (real hard work there, Breech), but who will they play? Breech breaks it all down with very interesting potential opponents that could be on the slate.

One of the most exciting running backs to take the field in the last decade is mulling over a potential return to the NFL in 2020. That's right,
The NFL has changed a lot from as late as the early 2000s when Peyton Manning's stats through the first five years of his career look eerily similar to Jameis Winston's through his first five (look it up, it's pretty crazy). One of the key changes that has led to an explosion in passing numbers across the NFL has been the transition in what personnel groupings teams lean on. In the past, teams would use 12 and 21 personnel groupings that only featured two receivers on the field at once. In the modern NFL, teams use three wide receivers on any given snap more two-thirds of the time on a whole -- and that number is only growing. Chris Trapasso breaks down where this trend started -- with one NFL team leading the way -- and how the 2020 NFL Draft signified a seismic shift in this regard.
Tom Brady is now your quarterback in Tampa so it's time for his new teammates to rejoice in the same level of excitement as the fanbase, right? Wrong. At least according to a former teammate of Brady, this is the exact opposite approach Buccaneers players should take. Teddy Bruschi breaks down how his new teammates should approach the arrival of one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.
