Jason Fitz, Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab discuss the ongoing running back renaissance in the NFL and whether it’s time to reconsider how running backs are valued before diving into the latest quarterback news and a Preview the Thanksgiving games. With Saquon Barkley considered the MVP, the episode begins with the evolving role of running backs like Barkley and Derrick Henry in today’s game and whether teams should invest heavily in top backs. The hosts examine the trend of successful RB plays this season and whether we can expect this trend to continue. The three hosts also cover the NFL’s salary cap and discuss whether it still has the same power it once did. Jori discusses the impact of the cap on team building and whether teams should focus more on likely outcomes when making financial decisions rather than strictly adhering to caps.

They highlight the potential for Jones to thrive under head coach Kevin O’Connell and for the Vikings to get a bridge quarterback to mentor JJ McCarthy.
