For today's episode of the Pick Six Podcast, we brought on two former NFL players to break down all of the latest NFL news: and .They covered a multitude of topics during Thursday's show, which included doing a temperature check on Brandon Staley's hot seat. The coach already had a warm seat heading into the season and things have only gotten uglier with his team shooting out to an 0-2 start. Quinn thinks that Staley desperately needs a win in Minnesota on Sunday in a game where the losing team will fall to 0-3."His seat is so hot, he can't sit down. If they lose this, you have to think they might fire him before the season ends ," Quinn said. One of the biggest problems with Staley is his strength is supposed to be defense -- he's even calling the defensive plays -- and that side of the ball has been the weak link for the Chargers."This is a defensive-minded coach," Douzable said. "That's your strong-suit and it's the defense that has sucked. In the past four lo ses, they've averaged 29 points per game and when you score 29 points, you're not supposed to lose. The defense has been awful."Douzable spent eight years in the NFL playing on the defensive line, so he knows a little something about what it's like to play on an NFL defense. The Chargers have a Week 5 bye this year and if they head into that bye 0-4, it's hard to see Staley surviving Andre Rison Jersey the season (After playing the in Week 3, the Chargers play the in Week 4 before hitting the bye).If you want to hear everything Quinn and Douzable had to say about Staley, then so you can listen to today's episode. The two also talked about whether the are cursed, plus they made some predictions for tonight's game between the 49ers and Giants. You .The NFL clearly has a sense of humor, because that's the only way to explain why the league keeps putting in prime time. The Giants QB has a 1-10 career record in night games, which is the worst record in NFL history for any QB with more than 10 starts. The Giants have lost those 10 games by an average of 12.4 points and the oddsmakers are clearly expecting another blowout with the 49ers currently favored by double digits (-10.5) My good buddy Jared Dubin put together CBS Sports' deep-dive preview for this game, and here's how he sees the things playing out:Why the Giants can win:If the Giants are going to pull off the upset, they're going to need a miracle game from Daniel Jones. The Giants QB won't have and he'll be playing behind a suspect offensive line, but he will have and several other receiving targets -- like , , , , and Julio Jones Jersey -- who could have some succe s getting open. If Jones can put up 300 yards between running and pa sing, the Giants might have a puncher's chance.Why the 49ers can win:The 49ers offense has been one of the best in the NFL through two weeks, and now, it gets to go up against a Giants defense that has ZERO sacks this season and hasn't forced a single turnover.
