Nate Tice：Amari Cooper被交易到布法罗比尔队，这笔交易对比尔队的进攻非常有益。Cooper的加盟将提升比尔队的进攻能力，尤其是在传球方面。Davante Adams被交易到纽约喷气机队，这将提升喷气机队的进攻实力，但并不能解决所有问题。钢人队可能启用Russell Wilson作为首发四分卫，这引发了讨论。在球队实力排名方面，Tice认为酋长队是第一名，维京人是第二名，而比尔队、包装工队和乌鸦队也表现出色。 Matt Harmon：布法罗比尔队之前外接手的表现很差，Amari Cooper的到来将极大提升他们的进攻实力。Amari Cooper本赛季的低效表现很大程度上是因为接球失误率高以及四分卫传球不准。Cooper在克利夫兰的出色表现，以及比尔队注重地面进攻的特点，使得这笔交易非常合理。Adams的到来对喷气机队进攻的提升是有限的，因为球队还有其他问题需要解决，例如进攻线的问题。Adams虽然不如巅峰时期，但依然是顶级外接手，他的加入将提升喷气机队的进攻效率。钢人队启用Russell Wilson的决定令人费解，因为球队目前战绩不错，而且Justin Fields也有一定的潜力。在球队实力排名方面，Harmon认为乌鸦队是第一名，德州人队、酋长队和雄狮队也表现出色。

Chapters
Nate and Matt discuss the implications of Amari Cooper's trade to the Buffalo Bills. They analyze how Cooper's skillset as a wide receiver, particularly his ability to run in-breaking vertical routes on play action, complements the Bills' offensive strategy. They also discuss the potential impact on other players in the Bills' receiving corps, such as Khalil Shakir.
  • Over half of Amari Cooper's air yards were uncatchable due to inaccurate passes in Cleveland.
  • Cooper excels as a vertical and intermediate threat, fitting well with the Bills' play-action style.
  • The Bills' receiving corps struggled with separation, making Cooper a valuable addition.

Shownotes Transcript

 Nate Tice & Matt Harmon give their reactions to a HUGE day of news around the NFL before dishing out takeaways from Week 6 through the lens of their top ten power rankings.

The duo start with the news that Amari Cooper has been traded to the Buffalo Bills, as both are VERY excited about what Cooper can bring to the Bills offense. Davante Adams was also traded to the New York Jets in a slightly less exciting move, but one that will no doubt help the Jets offense. In other news, Russell Wilson will reportedly get his chance to start for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Nate and Matt give their thoughts on why the (somewhat perplexing) move was made.

Later, Nate and Matt each made a top ten power rankings list separately, and they announce them live on the show before debating their biggest differences, including the Houston Texans, Green Bay Packers, Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings and more.
