On this week’s TWIF, host Ryan Ruocco, and analysts Howard Cross, Gary Myers and Ross Tucker, have an exclusive interview with Houston Texans linebacker and local talent Brian Cushing. The 2009 Defensive Rookie of the Year began his playing career at Bergen Catholic High School in Oradell, N.J., which is known for its prestigious football program.

Yahoo! Sports writer Brad Evans also joins the program to discuss all things fantasy football after a Week 2 that only left six teams still without a loss on the season.

Both the New York Jets and New York Giants now possess 1-1 records, with the Jets sputtering in a loss to the Steelers after their Week 1 victory, and the Giants stunning the Buccaneers by coming back in the waning moments of the matchup. Check out what Rex Ryan, Tom Coughlin and their players have to say as they look ahead.

Big Blue will face Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers on Thursday, while the Jets will have to wait until Sunday afternoon to take on the Miami Dolphins.

Join Ryan, Howard, Gary and Ross for This Week in Football on Tuesday night at 7 p.m., with an encore presentation Wednesday at 11 p.m. following Yankees Post Game on YES.
