In a very special Thanksgiving installment of The Scho Show, Mark Schofield gives you some nerdy football talk to wash down your turkey with. In the first half of the show Mark dives into the Houston offense and uses some numbers to illustrate what Deshaun Watson is doing well. Then, it is nerdy schematic time, as Mark highlights some of the concepts and designs that Bill O'Brien uses to protect his QB and give him opportunities to succeed downfield. In the second half of the show, Mark highlights some instances where Watson has struggled this season, specifically in terms of his hesitation in the face of pressure. Sacks are in part a quarterback stat, and Watson's high sack numbers are partly his fault. Then Mark closes out the show with a look at Friday's slate of college games and highlights perhaps his new favorite draft quarterback: Anthony Gordon from Washington State.

The New England Patriots defense is playing at a historic level and are coming off a dominant showing against one of the top offenses in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys. They'll face another big challenge this week as they travel to Houston to take on Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins, and the rest of the Texans offense. Can Stephon Gilmore and company continue to dominate the competition? Or will Watson copy Lamar Jackson and break through? And will Tom Brady and the offense finally get on track? It's been a couple months since the Patriots offense has played at a level that resembles anything like other Patriots offenses of the past decade, so can New England get on track against a defense that is missing its cornerstone in J.J. Watt? Also, the Patriots can clinch a playoff spot with a victory and one other game going their way! Learn more about your ad choices.

It's easy to forget in the modern NFL, but football is actually a game of three phases. While the New England Patriots offense is not playing to the lofty standards its established over the past two decades, making it easy to say that the Patriots aren't the same team as they once were, the defense is playing extraordinarily well- as one of the five best defenses in NFL history through 11 games- and so is the special teams unit. Out with Tom Brady and Jakobi Meyers and Sony Michel, and their tepid production, and in with a defense that is allowing points at a rate not seen since the 1970s, and in with a special teams unit led by Matthew Slater that is just as likely to put points on the board as any Patriots tight end. The Patriots beat the Dallas Cowboys in an ugly, sloppy, rainy game in a fashion reminiscent of the 2003 Patriots team. So it goes. Learn more about your ad choices.

The New England Patriots survived against the Dallas Cowboys, winning a hard-fought contest in the wet and rainy conditions by a final score of 13-9. As he does on each Glorious Victory Edition, Mark Schofield takes you through the great, the good and the bad from this victory. As most weeks do, we begin with the defense, which slowed up the league's top passing offense and held Dak Prescott largely in check. Stephon Gilmore had another monster game, holding Amari Cooper without a reception for the first time in his Dallas career. The special teams units had another big game, with Matthew Slater chipping in with an enormous blocked punt. Also getting some attention are the two rookie wide receives, N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers. Harry notched his first NFL touchdown catch, and Meyers showed that he truly remains in the Tom Brady Circle of Trust. As always, game balls and the Takes of the Game from the Scho Show Slack Channel were announced at the end of the show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podca

The 42nd installment of The Scho Show is geared at getting you ready for Sunday afternoon's big tilt between the New England Patriots and the Dallas Cowboys. In the first half of the show Mark Schofield walks you through how Dak Prescott is putting up MVP-like numbers, and how the Dallas offense attacks defenses in the passing game. From "layering" the offense, to using pre-snap movement and motion, through Prescott's ability to throw to the boundaries to his relationship with Amari Cooper, the passing game can be deadly effective. Then Mark welcomes in RJ Ochoa from Blogging the Boys for some Quality Time. They talk more about Prescott, the impact of Cooper on the offense, the weak spots on the defensive side of the ball and what it will take for RJ to enjoy a Victory Polo Monday.

The New England Patriots offense started off the season with a great outing against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and followed that up with solid games against the hapless Miami Dolphins and the toothless New York Jets. Since that Jets game, however, the Patriots offense has had just one good performance over a span of seven games- against an awful Washington team. What's the problem? There's been a rotating cast of receivers, the running backs haven't produced, and the tight end depth is arguably the weakest the Patriots have had since 2001. But there's a lot of hope that sophomore left tackle Isaiah Wynn, who is returning from the injured reserve, will fix all the offensive woes, starting with a tough game against the Dallas Cowboys. Will Wynn right the offensive ship? Or is it wrong to entrust the improvement of the entire offensive unit to a second year player with 82 career snaps? And will the New England defense continue to play at a high level, or will they falter against another great offense? Learn more

Episode 41 of The Scho Show is here for your listening pleasure. In this game Mark Schofield breaks down four plays from Sunday afternoon's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. These plays highlight how the New England defense was able to take away what Carson Wentz wanted to do on offense. From Kyle Van Noy taking away a wheel route, to Ja'Whaun Bentley sinking under a route to Zach Ertz, and through the secondary just taking away options, the New England defense was on point. Then, the Roman senator himself, Michael J. Kist, returns to do a post-mortem on the show. He talks about things from the Eagles' perspective and shares outsider insight on Tom Brady, the state of the Patriots' offense and where New England might be headed.

The New England Patriots defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in week 11 to move to 9-1 on the season and get back on track after their poor performance before the bye week. While the Patriots were unable to pick up any games of a lead against their competition in the AFC this week, the defense got back in championship form, a positive development. Stephon Gilmore and the secondary erased the Eagles receivers, and Danny Shelton and Lawrence Guy stepped up to stop the rushing attack in the second half of the game. But while the defense excelled, what's the deal with the Patriots offense? They have put together one good game since week 3 (Week 5 vs Washington), and have looked merely average for all the other games. Is Tom Brady okay? Are reinforcements on the way?

A W is a W is a W. Episode 40 of The Scho Show is another Glorious Victory Edition. The New England Patriots went on the road against an opponent who needed a victory and came out victorious, topping the Philadelphia Eagles 17-10. As we do on each GVE, we break down the great, the good and the bad. As you might expect, we begin with the defense. After giving up 10 points this unit kept the Eagles off the scoreboard, forcing nothing but punts and turnovers on downs to close out the game. Impressive performances from a number of players on this side of the ball. But we also need to show some love for the special teams, as Jake Bailey and Matthew Slater helped control field position and keep the game tilted in New England's favor. As always, there are game balls to be awarded, and in addition a bit of a twist on our usual "take of the game" from The Scho Scho Slack Channel. Which again, you can join!

The show begins some numbers, as Mark Schofield walks through some of what scares him about the Eagles defense. Specifically their ability to generate pressure on opposing passers.

Kist joins the show for Quality Time. The cohost of the wildly popular Kist and Solak Show as well as the also popular QB Scho Show comes on to talk all things Eagles.

The New England Patriots need to shake off their lackluster week 9 performance against the Baltimore Ravens and get back on track with a strong outing against the Philadelphia Eagles. How do these teams stack up? The Patriots defense seems to match up well against the Eagles, since Philadelphia is fairly thin at wide receiver, allowing New England to dedicate more resources to stopping the run. On the other side of the ball, the Patriots offense will have their hands full against the potent Philly pass rush, which should affect how Tom Brady and company choose to attack the Eagles defense. Which Patriots players are key to victory? Who are the X Factors? And what are the predictions for the final score? Learn more about your ad choices.

With the bye week in the rear view mirror it is time to turn our attention to the Philadelphia Eagles. In the 38th installment of The Scho Show Mark Schofield focuses on the Eagles' offense. The show begins with a discussion about quarterback Carson Wentz and the duality of his style of play. Then Mark dives into Wentz and hesitation. While different from the kind of hesitation the Patriots saw from Jared Goff in Super Bowl 53, the hesitation is present, and there will be opportunities for the Patriots' defense to capitalize. Then mark turns his attention to the Eagles' rushing attack. From their tremendous play in their interior offensive line to the production they are getting from their running backs on the ground and in the air, this poses a challenge for the Patriots' defense.
