00:00Big game coming up this weekend,
00:01and it could be bigger if Jaden Danes is playing.
00:04It's still gonna be a huge game whether he plays or not.
00:06I think the ultimate thing for this team,
00:08and I predict this,
00:09they are going to come out and try to establish the run.
00:12If it's something that we do well,
00:14and they don't do well against,
00:16you have to make sure you force your will on them.
00:19I believe that Cliff Kingsbury and his offense
00:21is gonna try to do that.
00:22And yes, it may be Jaden, maybe Marcus.
00:26I think the most important person
00:28is gonna be the five guys up front, persons, people,
00:32gonna be the five guys up front and the running backs.
00:35And that's led by my guy, Brian Robinson Jr.
00:39I think if B-Rod get to the game
00:40and have the game that he's capable of having,
00:42that's gonna cause some problem,
00:43which then enables the quarterbacks
00:45to do whatever they want.
00:46But we're taking your phone calls
00:48and getting your predictions.
00:49After I get the two guys in the
00:54fishbowl opinion,
00:56who's gonna win the game?
00:57What's your predictions?
00:59I'm gonna start out,
01:00but Jeff already grabbed this thing,
01:01so I'm gonna go with Jeff first, Lanfield.
01:02I'm gonna save the best for last in there.
01:04Jeff, go ahead.
01:06I thought you were saving the best for last.
01:07That's why I'm going with Lanfield.
01:08Oh, okay, okay, okay.
01:09All right.
01:10I got the commanders pulling this game out.
01:14I think it won't be,
01:16I don't think it will be a blowout
01:18because if Jaden plays,
01:23we beat them by a touchdown or more.
01:26Marcus plays, we beat them by a field goal
01:31to maybe six points.
01:33So in other words, you're saying my man,
01:35oh, Austin.
01:37Look.
01:38Austin Cybert will be the guy.
01:40Yeah, I mean, it's just,
01:43all right, we seen Mariota against the Panthers last week.
01:47It was the Panthers.
01:48You know? Yeah.
01:49Bears got a much better defense.
01:51There was some plays that happened last week
01:54where the Panthers could have gotten to Mariota
01:56and I was like, oh, and it was scary.
01:57And it wasn't like Mariota was deadly with the ball.
02:01Like some of those passes, I was like,
02:03oh, like we about to get our receivers killed.
02:06But I think it's close game.
02:08Like I said, Mariota plays, close game.
02:11Washington grinds it out.
02:13All right.
02:14Jaden plays one to two touchdowns.
02:17All right, Landy.
02:21I think they can win.
02:22Um, Mariota convinced me.
02:26If it's Jaden playing, I think they'll just be,
02:29you know, the league's high scoring offense.
02:31Like they've been so far this year when he plays,
02:33they'll just dominate.
02:34And Mariota played well enough for me last week
02:40that I believe in him as well.
02:42I think that's, I think they can pull it off with him.
02:45I've watched a couple of Bears games.
02:46Admittedly, it was a little bit earlier in the season
02:49and Caleb Williams just kind of looked,
02:52he didn't look like, he didn't look like he had it to me.
02:55I got confidence in our guys.
02:57In our defense?
02:59They played well.
03:00Yeah, I think they've improved weekly.
03:04And I think you have to have a better game
03:06than they've had thus far.
03:08They've got to improve even more
03:09to be able to upset and disrupt that offense.
03:13For me, I believe if the running game
03:15is established properly, I think we win the game.
03:20But I don't think it's a blowout.
03:20I think it's a close game.
03:21Very much like Jeff, you know.
03:22I have a lot of faith in Austin, the kicker,
03:25because I think he's done way better
03:28than any other kicker has done over the last,
03:30what, 10, 15 years here.
03:32And I think we have a lot of people
03:33that was questioning him about his leg and all that.
03:36He's kicked it long enough.
03:37He's consistent enough.
03:38And I'll go with him.
