Nick runs a solo pod to discuss:
• Dalton Risner is a Viking! But where will he play? Will he start? Is he an upgrade?
• Eagles review -- How O'Connell schemed up a storm. Why Brian Flores doesn't care about run fits. How to fix the run defense and passing shots going forward
• Chargers preview -- Herbert commands an elite offense, but a banged-up Chargers' defense means we may be headed for a shootout. How to attack Staley's defense. How Herbert could slice up Flores.
