Colin is joined by John MIddlekauff, host of “3 and Out” on the Volume.
They start with the Falcons upsetting the 49ers and agree that turnovers were the killer for the Niners and that Michael Penix is starting to flourish under Kevin Stefanski (2:30). They heap praise on Cam Skattebo for his physical, punishing style of running in the Giants win over the Texans, and credit JJ McCarthy for playing well filling in for the G men (8:30).
They react to the Bengals storming back in the second half to dominate the Ravens (18:30), and Colin argues there’s not much for Aaron Rodgers to work with on offense despite the Steelers win over the Saints (28:00). They credit Browns GM Andrew Berry for hitting on draft picks to help them overcome DeShaun Watson’s contract and start 5-2 (26:30), and Colin argues the Lions were lucky to escape their game against the Packers with a win (35:30).
Colin declares Broncos DC Vance Joseph the team’s MVP after a dominating defensive performance against the Cardinals (42:30), and believes the Raiders are still a draft away after getting dominated by the Rams (51:00).
Finally, they move to college football and start with USC getting destroyed by Wisconsin and Colin wonders whether Lincoln Riley’s time is running out (56:15), and react to Texas holding on for dear life to beat Ole Miss after building a huge first half lead (1:14:00).
