A new episode of the Off The Charts podcast is super NFC-centric. We look at Philadelphia's hot start and Carson Wentz's awesome third-down numbers. Then we've got some shocking numbers about just how many in-game injuries there have been in 2017 compared to 2016, and in-depth previews of this week's most important games: Green Bay at Minnesota and Detroit at New Orleans.

In this week's edition of the Off the Charts podcast, we review some interesting charting stats from the first quarter of the season.

This week on the Off The Charts podcast, we expand upon this week's DVOA commentary to talk about why Pittsburgh is a surprising No. 2 and Atlanta is surprisingly not No. 2. We also hit Tankapalooza and talk about whether the Giants or Chargers should consider moving on from their aging quarterbacks after this season. Then Mike Tanier joins us to talk about his Bleacher Report piece on the Seahawks' struggles and what he's seen this year from the Philadelphia Eagles.

This week on the Off The Charts podcast, we talk about the new downfield passing of Carson Wentz and Alex Smith, and the issue of whether throwing to Jarvis Landry too much hurts the Miami offense. Special guest is NFL scout Ryan Hollern, formerly of the Saints and Bills, who discusses prospects he's had his eyes on early in the season. Does the scouting match the analytics?

This week on the Off The Charts podcast, we look at some charting stats from the Chiefs' big upset of the Patriots and play "jump to conclusions" about the Rams, Eagles, and other teams. We also wonder if Baker Mayfield might be a better NFL prospect than most people believe, and preview the most important game for our playoff odds: Tennessee at Jacksonville. (Click for audio link.)

The Football Outsiders/Sports Info Solutions Off The Charts podcast has returned for the 2017 NFL season, with Aaron Schatz from FO and new co-host (and former Saints/Browns scout) Matt Manocherian from Sports Info Solutions. (Click for link.)

I made an appearance this week on the Slate Hang Up and Listen podcast with Josh Levin and Stefan Fatsis, talking about the new wave of tanking teams in the NFL. Is this going to work? Is it a problem for competitive balance if more and more teams do this? My portion of the podcast starts about 20 minutes in. Spencer Hall is also on, as well as Ed Cunningham, the announcer who quit ESPN because of ethical concerns about football and head trauma.

It's another podcast appearance to promote the new Football Outsiders Almanac 2017! Here I talk to Dr. Ed Feng on his Football Analytics podcast. A lot of discussion here of how I got FO started, why passing is more important than rushing, and the teams we have higher and lower than conventional wisdom in 2017. (Wade Phillips plays a major role in both.)

If you enjoyed my run on Locked on Seahawks last season, you should check out my recent appearance on Locked on Jets with John Butchko. We discuss the New York Jets chapter of Football Outsiders Almanac 2017, including thoughts on the team's weaknesses (many!) and strengths (more than you might think).

I hooked up with FO alumnus Bill Barnwell on his ESPN podcast to discuss the Football Outsiders Almanac 2017 chapters of the AFC North. Find out just how good Pittsburgh can be this year; why we're lower on Baltimore and higher on Cincinnati than most; and just how bad the Browns were in 2016.
