Pushing the Pile: A CBS Sports NFL Podcast

Will Brinson is joined by Brady Quinn to dish out midseason awards as we're just about at the midway point of the 2020 NFL season. Russell Wilson was the clear MVP candidate when we delivered quarter-season awards, but that lead has shrunk with other names, mainly Patrick Mahomes, entering the mix (12:30). Will Russ hold on? Brinson and BQ also evaluate the Defensive Player of the Year race (28:30) Ultimately, it's hard to find a better defender than Aaron Donald, but does that mean he'll be properly awarded? The Rookie of the Year race is between two quarterbacks: Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert and Brady thinks Herbert has the slight edge at this point (30:30). Coach of the Year (38:45) and midseason Super Bowl selections wrap up this episode (42:00).'Pick Six' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts. Follow the Pick Six team on Twitter: @picksixpod, @willbrinson, @Brady_Quinn, @E_DeBerardinisVisit the Pick Six YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/picksixCheck out the Pick Six Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/picksixpod/?hl=enJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/758548147935545/For more NFL coverage from CBS Sports, visit https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Somehow, the Patriots won on Monday night. Actually, we shouldn't express too much surprise...the Jets snapping their winless season was too good to be true for that franchise. To break down all the action, Will Brinson is joined by Ryan Wilson, John Breech and Tyler Sullivan. The guys analyze how New England managed to win this particular game, but also spend a large chunk of time evaluating the state of the organization during this turbulent year. Bill Belichick definitely isn't tanking, he simply just doesn't have enough talent to be truly competitive. Quarterback questions will press into the second straight offseason for the Pats, as we examine potential names that could fare better than Cam Newton. Of course, we have to devote some attention to the losing team too, and we do that by speculating Sam Darnold's trade value, when Adam Gase's impending job termination could come and the odds the Jets go 0-16.

Even though this game was over pretty early, that doesn't mean there aren't a ton of angles to discuss. Will Brinson is joined by Ryan Wilson and John Breech to break down the Packers 34-17 victory over the 49ers on Thursday Night Football. It appeared to be a revenge game for Green Bay after getting dominated by San Fran last year, but that revenge was enacted vs a JV team. And despite the big win, it's still apparent that the Packers could use another wide receiver. Will Fuller could have been a great fit, but they were unable to get a deal done at the deadline. Are the 49ers completely out of contention? It'll be tough for them to re-enter the playoff conversation, but that could change if the league admits 8 teams in each conference to the postseason. And where does Aaron Rodgers sit at now in the MVP race? He's currently 3rd in odds at 5/1, but Brinson provides a better value bet down the board.

Will Brinson is joined by R.J. White to break down Packers-49ers Thursday night matchup from a gambling perspective. Both teams will be impacted by players on the COVID-19 list and San Fran even further impacted by injuries that have hampered them all season.

The 2020 NFL Trade Deadline was more about inaction rather than action. Nonetheless, Will Brinson is joined by Ryan Wilson and John Breech to break down the moves that were made and the moves that weren't made on Tuesday. Notably, the Packers failed to add a WR and get a deal done for Will Fuller. Was he worth a 2nd-round pick though? Is that really all that's separating Green Bay from a potential Super Bowl berth? Another name in the trade mills rumors that didn't get dealt was Stephon Gilmore. Again, this may have been a case of the asking price being too high. The Pick Six Superfriends then quickly roundup the other names that were traded in previous days including Carlos Dunlap, Desmond King and Kwon Alexander.'Pick Six' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts. Follow the Pick Six team on Twitter: @picksixpod, @willbrinson, @ryanwilsonCBS, @johnbreech, @E_DeBerardinisVisit the Pick Six YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/picksixCheck out the Pick Six Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/picksixpod/?hl=enJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/758548147935545/For more NFL coverage from CBS Sports, visit https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/To hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Bucs escaped New York with a 25-23 victory over the Giants on Monday night, following a controversial officiating call (or non-call) that effectively ended things. Will Brinson is joined by Ryan Wilson and John Breech to break down that 2-point conversion attempt and a whole lot more. If the Giants end up with the #2 pick in the draft, do they have to seriously consider selecting Justin Fields to supplant Daniel Jones. Jones wasn't very good again on Monday and there might not be much hope that he ever turns into a decent quarterback. Is there cause for concern for how Tampa played or was this a clear trap game for them?
