The NEW Inside the NFL

Airs Tuesday nights on the CW at 8p. For once, no cable subscription needed to catch "the show the pros watch"

It's definitely been revamped from the SHO version, which seemed to have gotten too full of themselves.

Epi 1 is covering the Super Bowl so far, and it's been good conversations.

The hosts need a bit more polish, but some of their convo has sounded less rehearsed and more player-to-player rather than studio analysts. One segment in, and what I thought would be a train wreck of new-to-TV people isn't so bad.

Chad Ochocinco is the elder statesman of the show

Chris Long, Jay Cutler, Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder round out the panel

Looking forward to what they'll do once the season starts.  Hopefully with commercial breaks, they can focus more on games and less filler talk like the previous versions resorted to.

Ryan Clark has one of the better podcast out there. I think Crowder is also with him. I like their interviews.

Explains why he seemed comfortable doing a walk-n-talk opener and leading the talks. Its definitely seems more podcast-like relaxed on the set.

If they're only going to have about 40 minutes to showcase 16 game summaries by NFL Films due to commercial breaks, that would be... uh... 2 major games @ 3 min each, 10 games @ 2 min each, 4 games @ 1 min... that will leave just 10 minutes of time to fill.

Totally doable

Week 1? Dove right into the Jets story at the top, no conversational filler. Nice to see the NFL Films editors are still good at their job. They did spend 15m+ on the MNF game, which may be a reflection on how crazy that game was rather than a regular situation

I’ve been down on ITF for the most recent Paramount+/Showtime seasons. But the CW version is a surprisingly decent watch.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
