Top 10. Look, it's so much fun to have football back. I love week one. I can't wait for Sunday. Well, the pregame show will be on with Dave's Paderra one o'clock you from the stadium count down to kick off and then the full pregame show at two o'clock. Already got withdrawal for tonight. Good draw. Two days of football on our own. Yeah, we got comments tonight. Well, we have the Phil's Braves. Yeah, no, that's right. That's you. That'll fill the voice tonight. Yes. Couch tomorrow. Those are some big games and the Phil's, but you're right. We've had two like prime time NFL games and I'm like, I might catch up. I think you're going to draw. Yeah. That's what happens. You said you NFL's back. You basically get it every night. But no, not tonight. We'll get it on Sunday. There were a lot of football, including the Eagles at 425. And for me, it's a must win game. The Eagles have an opportunity here against a team. They are far better than far more talented and that team, the commanders. This is the best time to get them. They're all banged up. Their offensive line might stink and then I've learned me tonsil. And I know division games are always weird, but here the next time we face the commanders. It will be down there in DC. It'll be on a short week. It'll be a short week after we play the Cal boys on Monday night. That's a weird spot.
So we have, I mean, this is the one we have to win. And every scenario I look at when I look at the Eagle schedule where I come up with 11 or 12 wins, which is, you know, kind of the bar you need to kind of get to. Every scenario I come up with needs the commanders win in there. And I think there's going to be some growing pains. We all do, but I want that question to start the season. Commanders this week, Titans next week, both they have to win need to be two and no going to Chicago. Here you've had a couple hours to think about it. Are you thinking your position that it is a must win thing that you're saying. And you know, you're supposed to beat the teams that you're supposed to be. Yes. But you can't. I look at it like you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Yeah, what's the worst that happens? You get your feelings hurt. I can't just start it. Think about all those people that all around. They're super clean. They bought the road tonight. They're going to go 17. No, they're going to win 20 games this year. Only I said that. No, I'm just saying. I'm not talking about you. I'm just saying somebody else said that. I'm not. You know, I would never. You know, literally Joe Joe is the only one I've ever heard. I want to tell my Joe. I would just show you.
I want to tell my Joe. Let me throw this out there. What do you do? One of the bus wouldn't throw my part none of the bus. You agree the Rams have more margin for error than the Eagles? No. I do. Well, okay, let's let's look at it. Let's look at it. Probably a better team. Okay, let's look at it like this. Go ahead. The bad division right now. You talk about the Rams and the 49ers and the C Hawks and the C Hawks. Yeah. They lost right. Yeah. They are projected to be the better teams. Yes. So they still they see and they haven't seen Seattle. No, you I agree. We're saying we we are in when you talk about that race in that division. There's a good chance that okay, say if if if Donald gets healthy, they could potentially be the 13 in that division. They could. It's possible. They could potentially be because they lost that that game that they were supposed to get, but they lost to a good team. This would be the equivalent of the Rams losing to the Cardinals. Like the commanders. I think I know I get you.
Commander in my opinion, the commanders of the worst team in the. Well, I'm just because you're you're comparing the loss to the Niners to the commanders. The Niners are good. Uh huh. This I wouldn't be sitting here today saying the Eagles have a must win. I have to play the Cowboys to on Sunday. This is this is the worst team in our division. So if the Rams played the Cardinals and lost that would be a bad for them. Are you going to be finished now? Yeah. I'm just trying to get on the same page. I know what you're saying, but you're talking about a team a new vision of four that three teams are going to be vying for that number one spot. Right. Yes. When you talk about our team, you got two. You got to you got us. Right. And you had the Cowboys and maybe maybe the Giants will be a formidable. I agree. And if we're if we're being logical because you want to be logical with us, right? The Rams, C Hawks and Niners probably all split with each other. Yeah, they're going to be each other up. They're going to be each other. But the Eagles should split the commanders. And they shouldn't, but to your point, we go say we say, this is an and I don't think this is going to happen. We drop one to the commanders, right? We sweep the Giants and we split with the Cowboys, you know, and we get the
commanders on their last one, the Commodores. We're still in a good spot. All depends on what the Dallas Cowboys do. I understand that, but you're still in a good spot. That's why I say it's not a it's not a must win because you have a better chance of being in contention in your division. Then the then the teams out West in my opinion because they're going to beat each other up. Yeah, I just it's going to be some cannibalism going on in that West out there, man. I'll just make it to this way because we keep using the Rams from last time. It's a comparison. There's I didn't I'd be shocked if the Rams don't make the playoffs. Shocked last night's loss doesn't make me think they're going to miss the playoffs. They could they could, but I'd be shocked if they did the Eagles. This is a game to make the playoffs. It's one of those you just you just you counted. No, you to your point. So you you have to it would be it would be detrimental to your mission. Yes, to lose this guy, but well, I see it as one where do you come down to one five five nine two ninety four ninety four. You know what we haven't had we haven't had talked to our guy Orlando and Wilmington in a while. He's a he's a commander's fan. Am I correct on that? Is that our guy Orlando Orlando? What's up?
Oh, man, nice to hear from you. And thanks for having me on man. I appreciate you. And I'm a number one family, but it's not we appreciate you. I'm a commander and I'm going to listen. We're stuck this year, but we were stuck. I'd call you today, man. Thank for having me. I'm going to take over. What did they take? They take hard road? The hard road. I'm going to take over the hard rock again. Did you say the commanders are stacked? Fact but what? You don't even have an offensive line. Orlando, we talk about. Okay, right there. We're in a big deal. We don't even know. No question. My bill comments played the whole year in the 2024. I'll be ready. My all we got to do is hold up. I'm going to get my main bill Cosby. It's coming running late. Bill Cosby. He's going on. Bill Cosby, please. I'll tell you this. Bill, Bill Crosby, Merritt or whatever his name is, Croskey, Merritt, running back. Running back. Not that not not the actor. Not that guy. Yeah. Yeah. I'm putting pops up. Stop. We got three number one. Why receivers on the roster? They started. Are you all taking over the hard rock? That's
I asked the third one. Ricky from the one who went. What are you talking about? We got a bit drunk. Tell my friend we coming. We hear baby. We're all saying, but you're all taking over the hard rock. Like you said, you're all the last time. Y'all take it over the hard rock. Oh, man. Listen. Listen. You're going to get the boy. I want to talk to you. No, I don't know. Okay. Let's talk or defense, man. Is that even? That's the question. Anyone here? You're not sent. Well, let's listen. We. Okay. Listen to that. We go listen to my phone. I'm listening. My office is. Nobody know what he got, but I know what you got. No, what is David Blau? Talk to us. What do you got? I want to. I want to see. I want to see. I'm defense. The best. You jumping out low and play. You start drinking already. No, it's a good point. How is our secondary going to handle those three number one wide receivers? Who's the third one? So I'm a chlorine. It's digs with the Patriots kicked out of the building last year. And then Antonio Williams.
That's how I'm at the rookie third round pick. I'm. I'm. You know, a true. You're radio on to you were the worst. And Orlando, we love you. But this is a must win for the Eagles because your commander is. Yeah, I was a rendous phone call. That's how he really didn't want to talk about. You don't think it's a must win over that guy's team. The way he just described that team. But Bill Cosby playing running back or whatever his name was. And he said Bill Cosby. I was perplexed. I saw you were about to go on a tangent. I probably didn't fit this year. So just let that go. No, no, no, today's not the day for that. Are we. Can we? Can we ease drop on the enemies here? Let's see what they're talking about. Where we starting today? We going down the DC. Yeah, it's gonna. All right. Let's. Is this be bitches? Go host. Yeah, we got to talk to him about this. Let's let's hear it. I really think they're gonna win. I think they go to Philly and win. I said it. I crease like I'm told Philly people is how I feel. I think based on vibes.
I think I like the spot a lot. I think Philly is a team that gets better over the course of the year. Okay. I think Jalen hurts. The noise there. He seems relatively impervious to the noise. But I think losing AJ Brown is a really big deal. And it seems like everybody's kind of like, oh, you know, Devon takes Smith this and, um, I'm kind of lemon that. And I just. I think Washington's defense now assuming health will get our first injury report tomorrow, which is going to be a big deal. That's going to be a big telltale sign specifically with the edge rushers away in chase on. I just really like the spot. I think this team, this organization, Jaden Daniels, you know how mad Jaden is about last year. And dude, I don't think he's paid any attention to all this LSU stuff. Do you get that sense that he is mad? Okay. That dude is a. I don't give a shit. Yeah. Period. It's in his life. I'm going to be finished talking about it.
And I think he lost last season. He knows like he doesn't pay attention to the stuff. When he knows the stuff's out there. He's a, he's aware that it exists. And the absolute best way to remind the NFL who he is is to go to Philly. That's Fox game of the week, right? Like just going to be on across the country. Oh, yeah. Philly's a Super Bowl favorite, right? I bet Philly's top five Super Bowl. Yeah. Something like that. I think this team, who Dan Quinn's point will be frothing at the mouth come Sunday at 415. This is a joke quite frankly. So, uh, is that it? Well, how about him name dropping I crease? Like, I told I crease. I told I came out. I like. You know, you know what's funny about that. And I want to hear him talk is that he, he, he twisted himself in a whole pretzel trying to convince himself. That that Jane Danes is stoked about this game. You know what Jane Danes is more stoked about anything.
That's fact that beat me to a joke. Beat me to it. And we all know that. You know why we know that? Because it was such a big story that it was, it was placid all over the media. That how him and his mother had a whole fit. Because he thought his jersey is going to be retired and, and Lane Kiffin came out and said something up to the effect that we promised his kid this number when we signed it. Yeah. And, and so to injury, everybody named Mama came out to practice one week with five jerseys on to show you how much at LSU. To show you how much we don't care about what you talking about. So you're going to sit here and tell me that this same cat that had a, his he fit about a jersey in college is, is focused and ready to play against the stock. I think he's probably focused on. No, I don't believe that. I mean, the jail on Dan, Jayden knows not focused on the game. I don't believe that. Yeah. I mean, I think he has the question is, is he, is he great or good or decent? I don't believe that. Well, yeah. I mean, I, there's three number one. Well, that's ridiculous. I don't know what's more ridiculous.
Orlando's take on three number one. I mean, nobody has three number one on wide receivers little on the commanders. They just acquired their number two off the street two weeks ago. And this is some people tell me this is not a must win game, including you Douglas joke. All right. Can we, can we, uh, he's drop on another enemy? What were they saying up in New England? Yes, trip in Boston after a tough night, Marin debut for AJ Brown and Drake. May, let's, uh, let's hear that. Max in the seat. Let's see. Part. Go ahead, Max. Hey, so number one, I think Drake may sucks and unless he turns it around, we need a new quarterback. But number two, I'm going to let you go. Are you guys doing that? No, no, no, not yet. Of course not. Not yet. Yeah. I mean, it's on, it could be on the table when end of the season. They have to make a decision on the season. Yeah. Yes, Mike. They have to make a decision on whether you pay may at the end of the season or not. This decision, they're paying on Michael Felder. If Jim Murray, if last night's game, if, if last night's game continues for this quarterback, this season, if I was Robert Kraft and I look at Drake, man, I say, I need to give him 70
million. I would say over my dead body. I'm not doing that. If he has a suck season like last night and he's continuing to make horrible decisions and all of a sudden you look at this kid and say, oh boy, I have to now pay him 70 million per. Yes, nope. Yes, go after yourself. Nope. So it's going to be to it in Miami. Great. I'm paying him. He's the guy. Now, Carifey has a bad year. Then he has a bad year. He'll have a good one next year. Oh, I'll come in with buckets full of Kraftwater. Each show. What does that mean, Kraftwater? I will carry so much water for that. The organization, the ownership next year, I'll make sure it's a practice fiscal responsibility if he has a horrible season. It looks like last night through this whole year, we're going to turn around and now that franchise is supposed to give him 70 million. No shot. I absolutely love that one game after the guy was the second MVP last year. First game bad. Yeah, we might need a new quarterback. I appreciate that level. I mean, just kind of let you know what it kind of flies in the face of when he was saying nobody talks about I was just quarter back.
Thought that same exact thing. Yeah, because dude, but it just his last game before the game that he just played in was the Super Bowl. Now, granted. He didn't play well. He didn't play well. But he was in the, but he was in the Super Bowl. So when you, when people start talking about, oh, clickbait hyperbolic, they are just his hyperbolic up there and everywhere. Yeah, for all the idiots who say, go to all of them and those dudes, so do you talking about the quarterback? That's why it's because you're not listening. Well, all the time. So here's what happens everywhere. He needs to be. They don't want to play that. Thurk saying it's improving here for Drake May. There you have it. So the action is based on play. Drake May play crap in this first game. So one of the hosts in the show is saying, I don't know if I want to pay him. You know what? I think it's probably a little overreaction, but I'm not him. I'm not a patriot, and I'm not living there. But the bottom one is that happens everywhere. Well, you know what? They've done a lot of winning up in Boston. So they don't, I think they've had it enough so that they don't lose sight of the little
things. Like, you know, like we've gotten so deluded. And I think our entire like brain chemistry has changed by the fact that we won and like what's pretty like unconventional way. And just everybody forgot football essentially. Well, Jalen broke our brains. Yeah. I mean, really did. Well, I mean, let's be, let's be real. The Eagles have won two suit bowls and bins of three with not, with quarterbacks that have not been considered the best in the league. Right? Like there's not been a Brady or a manning or a Rogers here. It's been Nick Foles and Jalen twice. And they're great. It's always about how they play. Right. Right. So I do think our brains are broken on the quarterback meter, but that was funny. Listen, all right. We have one more. This is an interesting one because there's an expectation that this coach is going to turn around this team. I'm not quite as sure as everyone else is going to work out the way people think. Look, we hear John Harbock a couple days ago up in New York. You sounds like it's a little rocky waters with him in the media up in New York. Let's hear this. Can you, I mean, there's no, I can say this. I can just say this right now. People have stopped all these questions because I'm not going to tell you who's playing
in the game. I'm not going to tell you who's starting. I'm not going to tell you what package we have in. I'm not going to tell you what plays we're running. I'm not going to tell you any of that, OK? So we can make it great and have a great press conference or we can make it uncomfortable. But I'm not going to tell you because when you know the Cowboys know or every other team we play knows. And that's not the competitive interest of our football teams. That makes sense. So I think you can respect. What would you make of that? Zero tolerance for the media, but you're in New York and they're not going to stop coming after that. And if you show that you know, you have a little bit of weakness, they're probably going to try to prod you a little bit more because they pride themselves on getting under your skin. Yeah, coach better pull that back or win. Yeah. If he does, and they're going to go out. Yeah, we'll see. To me, the East is very clear. It's the Eagles in the Cowboys. I think the giants in the commanders are not as close to people think better. Sure. But maybe not as close to people think that. There's one of monitor there. We'll see if John Harbor actually turns that team around as quick as people think he will. Let's go to Buddy, who is in Akron here.
Once I get him up here, Buddy, what's up, pal? Hey, happy football Friday, you, Joe. Happy football Friday, Buddy. How are you? I'm great. I just wanted to call in and tell you why I think it's a four-month-wing weekend. And I have a thought on 9-11, I like to just... Sure. Buddy, let's start with your thought on the must-win. You're on the right side of this. What are you feeling? So I feel like the Philadelphia fans, all of us, have been beating each other up since last football season ended. And we're like one of those training camp football teams that's ready to beat up on something else. And we got to win the Phillies games and we got to win this Eagles game so we could just really game-oomant on this fans and just kick some asses. Well, it's about time. And Buddy, I think you're right. It's been a weird off season. We've fought about a lot of things, especially the AJ thing. I mean, Hugh was on the wrong side of that, we know.
And now we got to come together and get a win and celebrate on Monday. I agree. It's time. We need it. We do. I mean, I know Kyle's pumped up. He's ready to tear something apart over there. I know Hugh. He wants to hit somebody. No. No, he does. No. I want to hit somebody, buddy. I want to hit somebody. I'm not going to do that though. Buddy, you have a memory or thought you want to share about 9-11? 9-11 thought is, you know, I live in a small town. We got a volunteer fire company. And I wanted to say thank you to them. And I want to say thank you to the effort of police. And especially thank you to my daughter, second grade teacher, Mrs. Wully, who's got, you know, responsibilities to teach our children, you know, about the importance of the history like today. And can't thank anybody enough with that. Well, buddy, well said. And obviously, you know, those first responders and volunteers, it's something that it comes up every time around this year. You can really truly remember and appreciate those people.
Rick in Eastern is up on WIP. Rick, good afternoon. And now we're talking about brain chemistry and football. I love it. We are. Rick, how are you? I'm doing great guys. You know, I just wanted to ask you something, Joe, you're an intelligent host in a very knowledgeable city, supposedly, for football. Define must win. What does that mean? Must win. Well, okay. So I think there's different definitions at different times of the year. I mean, I can't hear it, buddy. Okay. Well, my definition is, I think if they, if they lost the game, which I think they will win, but if they lost the game, I think it appreciably changes their chances to achieve what we want, which is the postseason and the division and a high seed. It's Rick. I have been a little lower on them than most people this off season. So I'm in the 10 win range. And if they drop a game that they clearly should win, that I think is one of the 10 or 11 wins they'll get, then the math to get to the number we need, it's just hard for me to find. And they'll have to win a game that I don't expect them to win.
So must. Must win. Yeah. Got that. I mean, they need, I think they need the game to get to the win total. They need to get to. I understand. Now, let's not forget reality, which is what Hughes trying to share with you. The 2007 giants, the 2011 giants, the 2020 Buccaneers and the 2021 Rams all lost their first game of the year and won a Super Bowl. What I think people should start looking at is, look at the first two games this year already. You know exactly what I'm going with this. The Rams have a 38 year old quarterback with a 48 year old back that just lost. And Seattle, your producers, you know, trying to give me that Seattle defense is going to overcome having a backup quarterback starting the next four or five weeks. You're not far, Donald's going to be out. Like they're the 85 banners.
Those first two games were in the Eagles favor before we even played a game. This is called the NFL and you, you know this. It means not for long if you anticipate what you think is going to happen. Let it play out. I don't think it's a must win because teams have one championships losing their first game of the year. They'll figure it out. They're going to get out of the starting gate slow because they always do. These guys haven't even played yet together. You know what's going to happen in the first half. Yeah. Well, they have they're undefeated the first week. They always win. They win. They win. They win. But the eye test is just not going to be there because they're going to take some time to figure it out. And we better hope the offensive line is not getting too old and not banged up. That's going to be the case guys. It is. It's a, you bring up the points. And in a, now if you had brought up the two giant teams, the, the box, the Rams, I might get you. That might have been a win for Douglas.
He didn't bring those up. I mean, he didn't give me that. Well, you know, the Eagles started was the season. Oh, and two. The year I was gone went to Jacksonville and they went, they ended up going to the playoffs. They went, they went deep into playoff. They did. Yeah. But they were, you know, a more of a favorite entry in that season than they are this year. I mean, I'm not saying you wait. Yeah, that's a good. They did. They got rid of an aging defensive end. Yeah, he was, he was washing. Yeah, well, I mean, kind of was why. Two one five five nine two and 94. 94. Actually, it was. Yeah, it was. At least we're all being honest. Yeah, it's good. Rick brings up a fair point. That all being said, I still think they have to win this football game on Sunday. I just, they do. And you know what? They also needed for our vibes. You know, Rick's talking about the season, the team. I get all that and outliers and he's not wrong. How about us, Rick? How about our, how about my blood pressure on Sunday and Monday? And I got to have excuse maker Douglas here next week if things don't go right. I need the win on Sunday. All right. Two one five five nine two, 94. 94. Based on the injury front for Sunday, a couple of things for Vic Fangio. I'm Grenard and a funny answer regarding their history gets mobile quarterbacks.
That's all coming up. It's the midday show on sports radio 94 WIP. I am ready, Joe. I'm ready. I'm excited. I am too. I'm excited. I'm excited to see what this office is going to look like. I want to, I want to see how quickly the quarterback excels in this new row. I want to see how creative everybody talk about, you know, man, you being an evil genius. I want to see what that looked like. Because when you talk about last night, what Shannon hand did, the fullback being an instrumental part, even though he didn't touch the ball, but in the blocking scheme and the run game, he was a hammer. Well, I mean, Shannon hands great, right? And he does this. He's been doing it for years and we got a guy in Manion. We hope could be, you know, in the ilk of one of the better coordinators in the NFL. We'll see. Here's what I'm excited for. I'm excited for the defense, you know, that's the, you know, they start to happen. Sam Frank Kyle. Yeah. Well, you know, they had a rocky start to the season. Sure they did. Well, I mean, between the head coach getting in the accident and the owner being a dummy. I mean, yeah, you're trying to get some strain in the trailer part.
Yeah, not good. I'm mostly excited for the defense on day. I mean, the offense, I hope and we'll see. I, you know, I think we all realize it's going to be some growing pains, but I, the defense could be great. It really could be a great defense. And they have an opportunity this weekend to face a bad offensive line. And when I think about Ojomo and Carter and Davis and Hunt against a bad, a bad offensive line, I mean, they should dominate the game. You know what I want to see? I don't know what the offense is going to look like, but I want to see rhythm because it feels like it and followed me a little bit because it feels like the last couple years. It feels like when they got up to the line, it was almost like they were still trying to figure out what they wanted to do. Especially last year. Yeah. Like, you know, you know, I'm talking about Joe. Like they, they were trying to figure out at the line, okay, what exactly do we want to do? I want to see, you know, getting in and out of the huddle. I'm going to see them call the play and just, just implement this offense and change the, the flow, the ebb and flow of the game because that's what the 49ers did last night.
They, they, they, they spit up the pace. They slowed the game down when they wanted to and they were able to do stuff at will when they wanted to, especially in that second. And they got Brock, Perty and rhythm. I mean, there was a couple of drives where it felt like the ball didn't touch the ground. I mean, it was just, it was, it was, he was, he was on a heater. Yeah, he was awesome. He was the best player probably in the field last night. Two, one, five, five, nine, two, ninety, four, ninety. For our before we go back to the phones, we had a couple things from Vic Fangio spoke yesterday. First about Jonathan Grenard. Now, yesterday he was limited in practice. We'll find out what he is on this Friday. Here is Fangio on the Eagles $100 million edge guy and is he close to playing? But Jonathan Grenard, are you, do they really ready to go and how constant are you? It's day by day. You know, he had practiced a whole lot yet, so we'll be careful with them. How do you work yesterday? Okay, it okay. We're the player like that who has a body of work in the league, but you haven't seen him play a ton in practice. How do you balance those things when you're caught with a plan for him? Yeah, I mean, there's a minimal amount of practice.
Real practice that you have to go through, especially for a guy coming off an injury. You know, it's like the guy in Donald and with the Rams, you know, he's just coming off restyness, no injury and wasn't ready this week. So we'll see. I mean, that last answer there makes me wonder if he's even active on Sunday. I don't know about that, Hugh. He said there's a baseline of practice you have to have and then he compared it to Aaron Donald, who of course did not sue that last night for the Rams. You think grenades playing Sunday? Oh, yes. I think if he's if he can play, but that's not how fans you framed it as you have to practice. No, I get that. I get that, but I think he'll have a he'll have some snaps like you got. Listen, I don't understand coach, Fange Owen and he's old school and everything like that. Yeah, that man, a hundred million dollars. Wait, they gave pop 57 and he was. And it was that was a heel. I died on the end. I'm a down. I don't know how you don't.
No, you hold on. No, I feel like if he can give me a couple snaps, I need though. But do you think Vic is going to play? I know defensive court air Douglass would put her in art out there. Do you think defensive court. If he's limited again in practice today, you know, to your point, Joe, if you're not practicing on wins and Thursday, if you're not, if you're limited, you're probably not really. Fange is big on that. Almost being on being like game ready. Yeah, he's being on, knowing your assignments. Now, Jalen Carter, a little bit of a different animal. And I know we say Fange doesn't really care that much about the money thing, but like I think he knows enough about Jalen Carter's track record player. And he's had him. He's had him here. But I think he just said a few days ago, like, you know, he is conditioning still. Could use a little bit of work. Like he still has to, like, got to get a little more up to speed there. So like that, he thinks about that stuff a lot. So he doesn't think that Grinard's ready to play. He's going to look at that as somebody just taking up snaps from somebody who is ready to play. I agree.
I'll be watching that during the pregame show Sunday when the inactive's come out to see if Grinard is playing our one more from Fange. Yeah, here goes Fange. Yeah, obviously going to get Jaden Daniels, one of the more mobile quarterbacks in NFL. Let's see what he said about facing a quarterback like this. As you saw, Scott, how do you think you guys handled mobile quarterbacks last year? You know, I don't know. You know, you might overall do a good job, but it's those ones where you don't that, and they make a big play out of it, you know, stand out. So I don't know how we would rate on that. Maybe PFF have some phony stat you can look up. But yeah, it's a problem when you play scrambling quarterback and Daniels, obviously, is excellent at that. I love how he just took a shot at PFF. Yeah, he was one of those fake stats there. Fange was the best. He just says whatever is on his mind. He had a couple of injury things to note here for the commanders and then a big one in the NFL. So commanders have cleared Adafee away.
Their edge rush. They gave a lot of money to the soft season. Jekori Kroski Merritt. That's who our caller was. He goes by Bill Kroski. Kroski, not Bill Kroski. Not Kosbi. No, and chase on their edge rush. We're all been clear for the game for the Eagles on Sunday. So those guys are playing a guy that's not playing for a while. Patriots here, placing wide receiver AJ Brown on injured reserve due to his high ankle sprain, sidelineing in him for a minimum of four games. Oh, wow. Yep. That's crazy. I mean, well, he's still got a chance. You know, it's funny when you initially say, I are to me. I are meant back in my day. You were done. Yeah, that changed it. You can come back. I'm getting right at high ankle sprain, man. I'm telling you, I tried to play through one. It's a beast. Well, and he's saying minimum of four games. So I, you guys, I mean, because it's a pain that they try to tape it up, but it don't, man, that high ankle sprain. It's a nightmare. And it continues for AJ's first season there. How am I supposed to heat watch the guy if he's not playing?
That's true. That sucks. Yeah, that's a, that's that's that's a monkey wrench. You can't hate on his rehab. No, no, Kyle's right. This is a monkey wrench into our whole plan here for the next few weeks. I hate the rehab. Can I get a refund on my NFL Sunneti? Can I get a few weeks off that price? Are they took it all in my account? Yeah, that's gone. All right, 215, 592, 9494 coming up. Marrow moments, your phone calls a football Friday. It's a must win.
