I say scary because nine we 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.160 got dubs on this side of the table. Yeah. I 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.000 don't know about that guy. We're rational I have with 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.880 or without? Okay, well you're about to get You're gonna 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:03.720 us with her without when she asked you.

All right, Okay, I'll run 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.360 through something and I'll let you decide when we get 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.400 to it. I need to who's the with and who's 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.520 the without? Okay, So easy one starting off? Then I 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:17.560 like this game, Mick Cheeto, Oh, he's up, he's up 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.440 with I don't think he makes the difference if they 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.880 win or lose, though, Okay, you never know. You might 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.160 have ye might make a play. You're right, Yeah, you 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.800 could get an interception when Drew Pearson is watching him, 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.119 cheering him on like he likes to do in front 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:37.679 of Eagles fans. All right, Dan Bailey out MALIEK Collins, 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.600 who's been with the foot limited Now he's been he's 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.880 been on the injury report for a while. So I'm 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.399 with you, guys. Yeah, let's let's let's have a good MALIEK. 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.400 Collins game this week. Yes, let's have a MALIEK. Collins 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.800 Pro Bowl game. Yeah. Yeah, nose tackle, get up the field. 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.480 I mean we've seen cape. I think he's played better 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.920 since Mickey moved him over to nose tackle. When Mickey 0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:59.880 moved him over to nose tackle, I think he's played better. 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.560 We got a mail bad question this morning about he's 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.960 not a true nose and is that a problem for 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.200 really specifically the run defense, and you I kind of 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.000 you put the shybosh on that shot that down well, 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.240 and it's not a true nose to me a nose 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.280 tackles when you play a three four and I have 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.919 one in the middle. Well, the thing about one technique, Yeah, 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.440 the thing that everybody wants to say is that Cowboys 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.000 run defense is bad because they don't have Snacks Harrison 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:27.840 playing inside. That's what they're saying. And you know, teams 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:29.520 now run the ball on the edges more than they 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.160 run the ball inside that yeah, they do. I mean 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.200 that's that's how you that's how you attack teams to 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.080 have good inside players, you try and get it on 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.120 the edge. I just feel like in this scheme it's 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.080 so important because marion Elli preaches these linemen get up 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.280 the field penetrate and the linebackers got to clean a 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:46.960 lot of that stuff up, right, And so it's more 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.240 to it's especially dependent on them to be in their 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:53.560 gaps and be assignment sound. And when they don't Hitchens 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.440 told us about this in the second half is when 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.040 they started having breakdowns, right, And they were pretty good 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.240 in the first half, right, and how they were a 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.320 ton of them. But when you leak a couple of 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:03.840 those big plays and all of a sudden, the teams 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.320 in the run zone. Yeah, it's all about the run 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.120 Fits only gave up forty one yards rushing the first half, 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.519 Cowboys out rushed them. Yeah. See that's the it's the 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.440 run Fits. I mean, Kansas City was a great example 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.440 of a tremendous back with a good offensive line and 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.560 how you choke the run run Fits. Garrett talks about 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:23.400 it all the time. They Rob said it gaps, gaps, gaps, 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.200 guys step up tackle gain of two, that's what you 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.519 gotta have. You can't have gap gap gap. Oh miss 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.120 gain of seven because you miss a tackle in the hole. Yeah, 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.440 well before we get to more obvious ones like Jeff 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:39.040 Heath than Seawan Lee. Yeah you're saying both out. Yeah. Yes. 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.760 Iron Smith was in fact present today at practice. He 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:48.760 did uh, he did the stretch, um, he did a 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.760 few warm up type things. But when they went to 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.920 we didn't get to see the blitz thing, did you 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.640 the preproctice. We weren't in for that. But when they 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.880 when they were doing you know how they line up 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.240 under that bar right the starters and then they go 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.000 low and take off. He didn't do any of that. 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.200 And they went to the two man blocking sled. He 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.000 didn't do that either. Was his hands taped up and 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.320 all that was he all taped up together and looked 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.960 like he didn't appear that he was doing something to practice. 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:25.040 Now he may have done some, and then will you rehab. 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.080 I mean, he had his helmet and everything, but you 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.279 know how they do now if you're going to be 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:34.320 out any he did have his whatever everybody else shells shells. 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:40.080 But man, if this wasn't the Eagles, you almost feel like, 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.120 give him a couple extra days and get him back 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.720 for Thanksgiving, I think. But it's the Eagles. I think 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:48.120 they'll push it to the last minute. He'll do enough 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.360 today to maybe be limited. And then the general manager 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:53.800 came out and said that, you know, they asked him 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:55.560 a question about ruling him out, and he didn't do it. 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.960 He would not confirm it. And usually and usually the 0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.520 general manager when he goes on the radio and they 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.120 asked them questions, will you say, hey, well it's gonna 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:03.920 be a long shot, or you know, he'll move on 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.840 from that. Yeah, because it was very odd that yesterday 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.800 there were some conflicting reports coming out that he was 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.520 in fact not going to play, and that that was 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.880 a source. So you know, you just gotta go with it. 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.560 But I think Mickey, I think this is going to 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.440 be a ninety minute decision. Yeah, I think they'll go 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:25.599 to six o'clock. Yeah, decide if I mean, they'll know 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.280 before that. They just don't have to announce number one. 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.720 They don't have to announce it. They can practice tomorrow. 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:32.440 We don't get to see that, right, he can go 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.280 through the walkthrough. But but his traditionally the way he's 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.119 worked and this is with the back. And it happened 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.800 to believe in Washington this week or not this week, 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.440 but this year the Washington game miss Wednesday, miss Thursday, 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:49.359 practice Friday. Yeah. Yeah, so we haven't seen a miss Wednesday, 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.640 miss Thursday, miss limited Friday. Yeah, and then practice Saturday. 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:55.760 We haven't seen that one. Could I mean, could he 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.839 get out there before six and test it? And that's 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.600 the final determine. They were sure that. Yeah, depends on 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.599 how far along he is. They'll know on Saturday if 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.280 he needs to even try anything on Sunday that they 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.800 need to work him out. Yeah. The lucky thing for 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.920 us guys is that Tyran is one of the first 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.000 guys that gets on that field on any Sunday. He's 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.920 always out there very early with boy sick I mean Mackey, 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.279 he'll probably be there when we're getting there. Probably. Yeah, 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.560 he's out there when you know, Travis Frederick and Zach 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.480 Martin start passing the ball. Yeah, work on they're running 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.920 their routes. Okay, so we gave this in case it's 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:36.000 center eligible. That's true. You can have tackle eligible. I 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.279 can't you have center eligible. Some teams have that. Somebody 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.159 threw a fake pass in college the other day to 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.600 their center. I wondered, I would did it against uh? 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:44.840 I think I would did it against the Ohio State? 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:50.239 I love Iowa? Yeah, yeah, in Manlin scrimmage center, Iowa. Yeah. 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.000 So Jeff Swaim has been limited all week. He's back, 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.719 he's in, he's in. I think Jeff he's good. Yeah yeah, 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.039 So back to it, Jeff heeds, Shaun Lee Nah out 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.720 out now. Okay. Now the trick is, how do you 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.480 replace Jeff Heath at safety? We figured out it'six Xavier 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:10.000 Woods and Cavon Frazier and potentially a Woozier. How do 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.240 you protect how do you do things with him in 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.600 special teams? He is your personal protector on the punt team, 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.960 which is you know we've seen I mean that could 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:19.760 be you have to identify. You don't want to give 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.960 up a block punt because you make a mistake. We 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.679 need to figure out who the that is that Keith 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:29.600 Smith not it used to be bury Church. Trying to 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.080 remember who else took reps and I think I think 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.600 it was Keith Smith. I believe Keith Smith's the guy there, 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.520 so yeah, or Rod Smith? Yeah, I think I think 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.400 it's Keith. I just remember it on the top the 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.240 top of my head that, so keep an eye on. Okay, 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.720 the punt protection, if it comes down to it, you're 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.000 gonna have a new personal protector in there. Again, these 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.560 are things that you just don't think about until you 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:50.960 get in the game and all of a sudden something happens. 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:52.600 You go, oh, what just happened? Did you get the 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:56.040 idea that the way Jason answered the question today about 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:01.520 a Woozier that he might just be special teams, Yes, yes, 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.440 and and memory and I said about watch out for 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.640 his volume. They didn't want to overdo it and not 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.520 do both all at once, right, And it sounded like 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.880 special teams for sure. And then he said he might 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.880 have a role in some of our defenses. The dime package, 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.360 which you love it seems like the best fit for him. 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.880 The idea is who do you feel more comfortable playing 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.800 down with? Do you feel more comfortable playing down with 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:30.520 the Woozier inside or Cavon Frasier as if you go dime? 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.400 Uh because yeah, because see Cabon Frasier will play deep. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.800 He's a kind of a deep guy, right See, I 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.600 would rather you know, you can always bring Byron Jones 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.920 down and well I'm talking about you would have Frasier. Well, 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.400 I'm talking about all three safeties going down. That's what 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.839 I'm talking about. I'm talking about. I'm talking about Oh oh, 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.120 I thought you meant down like down on the line 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.520 of scrimmage. No, no, it meant out no, no, in 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.720 the in the men. Yeah it coverage, you might because 0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:01.800 you can see Woods, Jones and a Woozier think coverage wise, 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.040 you'd picked Cheeto over Cavon. But Cheeto's been out for 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:10.679 a while. So is that factor in? Yes, Yeah, because 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.600 I think it would It would be it would be 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.920 Woods or Byron Jones because you're only gonna have two 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.360 of them in there, right Uh yeah, one in each 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.800 slot maybe or one in the slot and one in 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.880 the on the on the on the tight end, Well, 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:24.920 you got guys like you're gonna have to cover, you know, 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:29.199 with zach Ertz we talked about him, Trey Burton, you know, Selik. 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.240 I mean they've got tight ends that can that can 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.080 get up the field. I kind of like Woods back. 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:40.720 I think he sees things well right um, and you 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:44.280 know if he had him back there with Although the 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.360 first name he brought up was Freight. When they asked 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.520 about Woods, he mentioned Fraser right away, So I think 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:52.240 there's something to that too. Fraser. We'll see him kind 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.880 of taking over the Jeff Heath special team spot. Well 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.079 he has, he has. He's been out the leading tackler, yeah, 0:09:58.080 --> 0:09:59.920 and he's been good at it. He's got more tackle 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.640 He was active a game too. Yeah that too. He's 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.880 got more tackles already than anybody last year on specially. 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:06.880 And give Woods credit too. He was the one that 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:08.840 went down the ball at the two yard line, right, 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.040 was it him? Yeah? Yeah it was it was And 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.120 who somebody did he almost have the other one or no? 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:15.920 He tried to throw it behind his back, Yeah, but 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.080 did Yeah. It was pretty close. Yeah, I think it 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.439 was a lot closer than they were looking, right, the officials. 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.640 I mean, sometimes it feels like these rookies are great 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.600 on special teams because in college they had to do 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.920 so many different things. Now, Mickey's brought good points where 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.480 they forget the rules. You know, they don't know the 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.440 difference between college and NFL rules fully yet. But well, 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.320 he sure did on that one because he leaped over 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.480 the end line or the goal line and tried to 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.600 throw it back. It just couldn't quite get it all done. 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.600 He came close that Paul almost hit the guy's foot too. Yeah, 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.720 I'd have been talking to Chris Jones on the plane 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.160 on the way back and he thought maybe it hit 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:58.160 his foot and challenge it. He was hoping. But the 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.840 ball didn't look like it bounced any differently. It looked 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.200 like you bounced just like you kicked it. Yeah, but yeah, 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.840 it came real close. Yeah. Now, with different things happening 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:11.280 with Tyron Smith and not a confirm, you can't confirm 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:12.880 if he's going to be able to play or not. 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.760 You know, I'm sure they'll put questionable today on the 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:20.120 practice report. Yeah, let's say let's obviously I don't wish 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.080 this happens, but let's say he's not ready to go 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.959 on Sunday. How would you play this situation for this week, Mike, 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:27.600 I'll start with you. Well, I think it's gonna be 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.080 Byron Bell. Yeah, I agree, and then Chazz will be 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:34.000 the swing guy. Yeah, um heck, he might be inactive. 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.640 I think, so who's gonna be the backup tackle if 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:42.000 Tyron's out? Like thinking about that, you could do an 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.959 emergency thing and yeah, move over some a guard, Zach, 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:50.360 and then who's who's you're gonna play? Yeah, I'm just 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.800 saying that might be in an emergency situation, that's what 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.120 you'd get to keep seven offensive linemen up. I would 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.080 think Jazz would be active in a in a swing 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.440 role if no time just open that Tyrn Smith's active. 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.880 So that makes Bell the in the swinging guy. Yeah, 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.120 you gonna make Well, we'll get to a second segment. 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:09.640 I was going to get to an active because I've 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.520 had some interesting questions about this. Sure, let's wait on it. Then, Yeah, 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.400 I just you know, Yeah, Mickey's right, it's it's Bell. 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.120 Bell is going to get the start if if Smith 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.599 can't go, and then and they'll figure out ways to 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:23.760 Like we talked about, there's a there's a lot of 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:27.120 different ways that now that they've explored, you know, guy 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:31.120 on inline, guy at wing, guy in motion, all kinds 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.800 of words on that side. Is it Brandon Graham, No, 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.760 that would be Benny Curry hurry, okay, yeah, but they 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.400 might move Brandon Graham over there. Yeah, just a couple 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.240 to move Fletcher Cox. Yeah. Is this one of the 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.640 best front sevens this team will face? Very similar to it? Yeah, 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.160 it's as good as anybody in that first month that 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.880 they faced. Yeah, like pretty tough group, the Denver group. Yeah, 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:56.640 better than the Rams. I think it's up there because 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.079 Fletcher Cox to me, can be two inside players. He 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.640 can be as dynamic is Arab Donald at times? Yeah, yeah, 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.080 two inside players I think they might be. And then 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.040 Robert Quinn really didn't do very much in the Rams 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.400 game if I remember. I hope I'm not saying he 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.599 probably had a sack if I'm but I don't think, no, 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:18.760 he didn't. So, yeah, you're talking about Brockers. Brockers and 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:23.480 then Donald and then and then Quinn. Where the you know, 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.280 where the Eagles can run four guys out there at 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.880 you with who they've got. Yeah, Now somebody's tweeting here 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:31.840 and they say, why don't we put a headset on 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.160 Shunley when he's on the sideline to get the guys 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.959 lined up properly, because there's only one person to say, 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.960 talk to the guy with the headset on green dot 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.760 green dot. That'd be Hitchens. Yeah, yeah, Hitchens. And then 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:50.080 that and that comes from Matt Eberflus. Mary Nellie tells 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.719 Eberflus what to do, and then Aberflus and the thing 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.400 goes off with fifteen seconds left on the on the 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.600 shot clock. Yeah, it's not as so, it's not like, 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.920 oh well wait a minute, they just move, go go 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.760 get over them up, hurry up. They're going to snap 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.160 the ball. They're going to this guy. They're going to 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:13.120 Antonio Brown. That's what the Titans needed last night. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.240 well I do think it will help at least this week. 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.400 You just brought up guy Anthony Higgins. Obviously he was 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.240 out when Sean Lee was out beforehand. Yeah, just one, 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.400 just one, that's one game. And then he came back 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.680 in the one game I think that was it, the 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.520 Packer game. Higins came back. He came back and he 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.160 played the will spot. I would anticipate that happening again. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.680 That's what actually he alluded to that the other day. 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.760 So then you're probably looking at Jalen Smith and justin 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.760 Durant will get an opportunity, I think, to step in 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:41.440 and be part of that rotation. And that's you know, 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.280 he's a guy hadn't played much, but the experienced wise, 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.800 recognition wise, I think that can that could be a 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.960 boost for this defense. I think I think Durant starts 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.120 I think so. I think so too. Yeah, I think 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.680 Durant starts inactive for so many weeks. And that's and 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.640 that's what the inactive part was part of the kind 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.960 of the plan is, Yeah, you're our insurance for injury. 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.240 Now you get to ask, can you play fifty plays? 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.800 I don't. I don't know if he well, you hope, Yeah, 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.840 it's I'm asking they don't have to play sixty right seven. Yeah, 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:14.800 that's him saying as if they have to play seventy, 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.400 he's probably playing forty or fifty. Right. That's why I 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.640 mask it. If you're gonna keep Jalen Smith to the 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:24.960 twenty twenty five rings, right, yeah, do you think he could? 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:31.040 He's got fresh legs, Durant. Yeah, problem is a month. Yeah, 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:32.840 the problem is I don't think he is as good 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.960 as he was two years ago. That's my problem. He 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.640 was at the Atlanta No No No with us no 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.840 when he was here to two years ago. He was 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.920 with Atlanta last year. Well, he's two years older. Yeah, 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.120 his experience though help. You're right, though, You're right in 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.960 terms of what we talked about with fits and getting 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:51.960 guys in the right spot. When they had to play 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.280 him earlier in the season, he was not as good, 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:58.680 just didn't seem as smooth. Yeah. See, that's that's you're 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:00.320 You're you're in a bind right now. Yeah, you are. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.520 You're really on a buying with your mic linebacker because 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.400 the important position. They'll tell you the reason they moved 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.720 Sean Lee was for so Sean Lee can go get tackles, 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.600 go run. So you're putting anti Hitchens, So you think 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.560 your best tackler is at that will linebacker spot and 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:18.040 letting him run. Damien Wilson play that spot the will 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:23.280 middle middle. I worry about the I worry about how 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.280 Damien Wilson sees thinks. Yes, it's the same problem that 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:30.320 Jalen Smith's having. I don't think Jalen Smith's health is. 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.360 Of course it's not one hundred percent, but I think 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.720 that what he's seeing is about seventy. Yeah, and you 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.480 know what, both of them see a lot better when 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:44.600 Sean Lee's on the field. Absolutely the goat. Yeah they do, 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:49.040 no Damien Wilson. Damian Wilson at times looks lost when 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:52.800 Sean's not out there. When he's out there, boy, you're growing. Okay, Yeah, 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.120 I like that. Do you worry about these linebackers trying 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.480 to do too much? Yes, that's the hitch spoke to that. 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.120 In the second half. He said, the score got a 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.200 little out of hand and guys started pressing a little bit, 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.719 and that's where some of those big runs came from. 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.879 By Atlanta. Yeah, and so it's more just about just 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.600 doing your job assignment sound every play. Yeah, let's take 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.199 our first break here on a Friday.
