00:00Caleb Williams will be out there, ready to go.
00:06Jaden Daniels though, Joe, questionable.
00:09I mean, there's got to be some concern about Jaden Daniels now holding up.
00:13I mean, that's what people are starting to wonder about your guy.
00:16I think he'll be fine, big picture.
00:18He's the face of the franchise, but I give him a lot of credit if he does in fact play
00:22today.
00:23Your kid's a gamer, you know?
00:25If he...
00:26What?
00:27Gutty.
00:28He is gutty.
00:29He'll probably find a way if he plays to pull out the victory over Caleb.
00:34I am very confident about that.
00:36But if it is Mariota, I still feel confident that Washington is the best side in this matchup.
00:41I really do.
00:42If we're being honest, like, Washington, I know you probably got us on in your locker
00:45room right now.
00:46Hear me out on this.
00:47Don't play the kid.
00:48I mean, don't play the kid.
00:49The kid is going to go out there.
00:50He's a rookie.
00:51He's having a sensational season.
00:52Probably needs one extra week to feel comfortable in that pocket.
00:54You're going to build him a flak jacket that's going to be Kevlar, and you're going to shoot
00:57him up for this game.
00:58What are we doing out here in these streets?
01:00Like, Mariota can fill in for one game, maybe get the win, maybe you don't.
01:03Save the kid, make sure he's healthy, because if you can't protect yourself, it's only going
01:07to get worse.
01:08What is...
01:09What if, Donnie, you know, maybe they're ready to play Mariota, but Daniels is worried about
01:16losing his job?
01:17Is that possible?
01:18That could be possible.
01:19Is that the narrative we're sprinkling on that?
01:21Come on.
01:22Salt and Pittsburgh, I mean, come on.
01:23I mean, we saw it in Pittsburgh, Joe, with one of your guys in Justin Fields.
01:28I tell you, I mean, it's one of those things where it really is a shame.
01:33We were going to get to watch these two quarterbacks go head to head.
01:37Instead, the Bears come in, awful bye, looking ready to grip it and rip it, Joe.
01:43We're not sure Jaden Daniels makes the starting gate, and that obviously has impacted the
01:48number throughout the week.
01:49The number is working back towards Washington's favor.
01:52I think it's becoming pretty clear to me that Jaden Daniels is going to play in this football
01:57game, so that kind of then begs the question, once they confirm he's in, where does this
02:03number go?
02:04Does it get up to Washington, minus three?
02:06How high does this go?
02:07I'd be all over the Bears.
02:08Washington's laying one and a half right now.
02:09I would love that.
02:10Like, if Jaden, if you can't understand how a timeline works in the NFL, like the minute
02:14you see T. Higgins injured himself on Friday, and you're like, you know what?
02:18I'm going to wait till Sunday to bet the Eagles to make sure, you should know he is out of
02:22this game.
02:23You have a rookie quarterback that couldn't finish the game last week, was injured early,
02:26barely practiced this week, and the amount of gymnastics to get him to play, it just
02:30sounds like Dan Quinn's an old school coach to me that's saying, I'm going to give you
02:33so much to think about before this game, it's still going to be Marcus Marriott at this
02:36point, but your defensive coaches had to waste hours this week preparing for a guy who's
02:41never going to get out there.
02:42Well, here's the thing.
02:43I mean, from the spread perspective, Washington is three and O at home, right?
02:47They get the victory over, you could say, a gutless Carolina team.
02:51They were catching 10 and a half.
02:52That line continued to go up, and they couldn't even make it close in the second half of that
02:56matchup.
02:57Marriott does throw for 205 yards in the game, 5.8 yards per carry on the ground attack.
03:03I think, again, if it is Daniels, I don't think he's going to run it.
03:07He'll be under center.
03:08It'll be limited RPOs.
03:10I'm serious.
03:11No, I know that you're serious.
03:13That's not who he is, though.
03:15Like I don't agree.
03:17I mean, Kev, if he carries it, let's say, three times in this game, you know, again,
03:24that doesn't mean when the pocket breaks down, he's not going to tuck it and run, but I don't
03:28think there's going to be design runs for Jaden Daniels in this ballgame.
03:33That's what I believe.
03:34I think that that can be true.
03:35I'm just telling you this right now.
03:38If they are worried, if they go, hey, listen, we're going to play a limited scrambling today.
03:44That is, that's the same as like, hey, listen, Kev, we're going to let you host the show.
03:48Just do me a favor.
03:50Don't bring up LeBron.
03:51Like, well, that's not going to happen.
03:52All right.
03:53Just brought him up.
03:54You see what I'm saying?
03:55He's going, that's who he is.
03:57It's why he got drafted second overall.
03:59It's why he's the favorite to win Offensive Rookie of the Year.
04:01Right.
