Richard Sherman breaks down all the action from NFL Week 1, starting with the Sherman Bowl as the 49ers beat the Seahawks behind Christian McCaffrey’s big day and Nick Bosa’s game-clinching play despite Brock Purdy’s struggles and George Kittle’s injury. Sherman also reacts to the Packers’ statement win over the Lions with Micah Parsons wreaking havoc, Justin Herbert outdueling Patrick Mahomes as the Chargers upset the Chiefs, Geno Smith throwing for 350+ yards in a Raiders win, Aaron Rodgers leading the Steelers past the Jets, Daniel Jones’ shocking debut with the Colts, Russell Wilson’s struggles with the Giants, and why Patrick Surtain has cemented himself as the NFL’s top shutdown corner.

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the first week of the NFL season.

They start with the Packers drubbing the Lions, and highlight the lack of creativity of the Lions offense after losing OC Ben Johnson (3:00), and the immediate impact of Micah Parsons on the Packers defense (6:00). They laud Brock Purdy’s performance in the 49ers win over the Seahawks on the road but have serious questions about the 49ers ability to stay healthy (14:00). 

They recap a wildly entertaining Steelers win over the Jets and analyze Aaron Rodgers’ efficient distribution in the Steelers offense (25:00) and an impressive performance from Justin Fields (32:00). They declare the Dolphins season as DONE after being blown out by the Colts (35:00) and argue the Colts could challenge for the AFC South title (38:00). 

They break down the Raiders win over the Patriots and Colin argues that the Pats coaching staff may not trust Drake Maye (41:45) and the Raiders under Pete Carroll are going to win games in the tough AFC West (46:00). They discuss an ugly opening game for Bo Nix in a Broncos win that was powered by their league best pass rush and defense (55:45).

Colin argues that the Giants need to start Jaxson Dart after Russell Wilson couldn’t sustain drives against the Commanders and worries Brian Daboll could lose the locker room if he doesn’t make a change  (1:03:00). 

Finally, they look ahead to the Bears/Vikings Monday Night Football game and debate whether Caleb Williams could end up being a bust due to his personality and the “noise” that surrounds him (1:12:00).

John Middlekauff REACTS to UNC Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick's debut blowout loss to the TCU Horned Frogs to cap off Week 1 of the college football season. John determines that UNC is not talented enough to seriously compete in the ACC and debates if Belichick will have the patience to build this roster where it needs to be through recruiting and the transfer portal. John wraps up by talking about the disadvantages Belichick has in recruiting over the likes of Miami's Mario Cristobal & Clemson's Dabo Swinney in the coming years, and that the talent discrepancy in college football is a much wider gap than it is in the NFL.

Later, John answers your questions in this episode's mailbag segment. 4:52 - Belichick lays an egg

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to kick off the football season.

They start with Ohio State beating Texas, and their concerns with quarterback Arch Manning missing easy throws and showing a lack of elite arm strength (4:00). They recap Miami vs. Notre Dame and they argue that both teams look like top 10, playoff level teams (13:30).

They move to Florida State upsetting #8 Alabama and debate what went wrong for the Crimson Tide and whether head coach Kalen DeBoer’s more relaxed coaching style will work in the SEC (23:45).

They pivot to the NFL and discuss the Cowboys decision to trade star pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Packers and Colin argues it could be a win-win for both teams (33:45). John believes that the strong organizational culture could benefit Parsons, and Colin explains why he thinks Dallas could implode this season (40:00).

Finally, they review the betting lines for week 1 in the NFL and what they say about the 49ers, Seahawks, Bears, Vikings and more (52:15)!
