Head of Football Product at Pro Football Focus Steve Palazzolo joins the show on the Farm Bureau guest line talking about the biggest storylines in the NFL live in the BankPlus Studio. Steve breaks down the Cowboys game vs the Jets and talks about Dak's great performance and a throw that luckily didn't get intercepted and returned. Steve looks at Mike McCarthy's play-calling and notes that he hasn't needed to do anything drastic because he's gotten help from his defense and other factors. Bo asks Steve about the level of use RB Tony Pollard is getting and Steve talks about how some of that has to do with running the ball to burn clock because the team is in the lead. Steve turns to talking about Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields and the statements he's made about his declining level of play and the role coaching has in his loaded thought process. Steve talks about how the offensive line isn't responsible for all of his sacks because Fields thinks too much while letting the play develop and gets sacked because of it. Steve tells Bo and the listeners that sacks numbers are driven by the QB because of the ability, or lack thereof, to get rid of the ball and talks about the rates of some of the best QB's in history. Bo asks Steve if the talent in college football and the NFL leans more to the defensive line rather than the offensive line and Steve gives the answer with reasoning for the lop sided results. Steve breaks down the game between the Saints and the Packers and talks about how Jordan Love has played well but his stats might be a little padded because of a few plays that could have gone differently. Bo asks Steve if he would take Chris Olave or Ceedee Lamb and Steve mentions how they came from a draft class that basically every team that drafted a wide receiver got the one they wanted. Bo asks Steve if it is panic time for the Bengals and Steve says that if Joe Burrow is really injured then it might be.
