00:00We normally are talking about trying to improve a position or one side of the ball.

00:07I think they incrementally are improving both sides of the ball.

00:12I, for one, think that they got to get a legitimate kicker.

00:16I know a lot of people don't give a damn about kicking and special teams,

00:19but you don't have a good kicker, you have a problem.

00:23I think that they can jump up, and the coaching, I think,

00:27that they're going to get more out of some players than they did previously,

00:31which means that instead of us saying, well, we don't have,

00:35we'll start to say, oh, we're getting better coaching.

00:38They're playing a lot better if we had one or two more pieces here and there.

00:42Yeah, I don't think the kicker's on the roster.

00:47I don't think the kicker from week one is on the roster.

00:52You said about 35%, 40%.

00:54I think one in three sounds fair because we've seen, dude,

01:00almost every NFL team is an injury away.

01:04Injuries happen, so something could happen.

01:08They are more talented teams.

01:10I don't want to be unclear about that whatsoever.

01:13The Eagles and the Cowboys have more talent, period.

01:17But they also got stuff floating around.

01:19There's no stuff in Washington.

01:21They're pulling the same rope, to borrow the P.J. Fleck phrase.

01:24They're moving forward.

01:25Now, what is the path to going worse to first?

01:29Jayden Hitts.

01:31Jayden Hitts?

01:32Jayden Hitts is the top of the list.

01:34Significant defensive improvement.

01:36You stop having these breakdowns over and over and over in the secondary.

01:41You get better play out of Emmanuel Forbes.

01:43Jamin Davis emerges as a pass rusher.

01:46Dorrance Armstrong proves that his snap-to-sack ratio is legitimate.

01:52And with more snaps, can have more sacks.

01:56There's a path for it to work.

01:58I think there's a reason they're a long shot.

02:01But if you're telling me it's plus $1,000, Jeff,

02:04$10 wins you $100?

02:06$100 wins you a G?

02:08Lots of light there.

02:10It's tempting.

02:12It's tempting.

02:15I don't know.

02:16It's kind of tempting anyway.

02:18Hey, man, sometimes you got to just take a flyer.
