00:00I'm glad the Browns have problems because I bet on the Cowboys.

00:07Yeah, man, all week I wanted to look at the Browns here, look at their side, but this

00:13worries me.

00:14So both tackle Scott, okay, or dealing with injury, right?

00:17Jedrick Willis or left tackle is not going to play.

00:19He's got a knee injury.

00:20James Hudson, by the way, his backup.

00:22He should get the start.

00:23Now he started 14 times over the three years, but because Mike Parsons is on the other side,

00:28because Mike Zimmer is on the other side calling the defense.

00:32We'll talk about that in a minute.

00:33The Browns have not ruled out kind of rotating their tackles or maybe not starting Hudson,

00:38but from what I understand, they're leaning towards Hudson because he started before again,

00:41those 14 times.

00:42And Jack Conklin now, Jack Conklin, by the way, missed almost all of last season.

00:47He only played in the first game.

00:48They didn't play the rest of the season to his ACL, MCL, and PCL, brutal, brutal injury.

00:54He's back.

00:55He's also had a patella tendon tear earlier in his career.

00:58So you worry about that when guys get into their 30s on the offensive line, but he's

01:02expected to play.

01:03By the way, he's also played left tackle in his career, although in recent years, he's

01:07been a right tackle.

01:09They expect him to play, but man, this worries me with Mike Zimmer, Scott being on the other

01:12side and knows him a little bit, super aggressive, particularly with those double A-gap blitzes.

01:20He's going to throw stuff.

01:21And by the way, you're going to see Micah Parsons be moved around here.

01:23I'm with you on this one.

01:25This does worry me.

01:27The Browns in your division there with your Steelers there in the AFC North, this is not

01:31a good way to start, but it's not like they didn't know.

01:34Wills has been dealing with this injury for a while.

01:35It's not like they didn't know this.

01:36And of course, they've known about Conklin being that he got hurt in the first game last

01:40season.

01:41So this is a worry for me.

01:42And by the way, the Cowboys, on their injury report, they're good.

01:46Now remember, they've got the issue at corner with Daron Bland being out, but overall, it's

01:52all about getting Deshaun Watson, as we just touched on their offense briefly, getting

01:56him off to a good start, but it's not going to be easy with Mike Zimmer calling the defense

01:59for the Cowboys.

02:00Higgins problems in Cincy.

02:03Yeah, this is not good.

02:06You and I talked about this last year with T. Higgins with the hamstring, had problems

02:10last year with it.

02:11He's got another hamstring problem.

02:12He's not expected to play.

02:13He didn't work hardly at all this week.

02:15Trent Irwin, you might remember him, who came out of nowhere a couple of years ago and did

02:18a good job.

02:19He most likely will start for him.

02:22That does worry me.

02:23And by the way, Jamar Chase practiced a decent amount today.

02:26And I know Friday practices for Sunday games, you don't practice a lot, but he took a lot

02:30of the reps.

02:31They have not decided whether he's going to play, which I think he'll play, but how much

02:35he can play.

02:36By the way, he missed all training camp.

02:38We know this.

02:39With his hold in, you can't play his normal snaps.

02:42He's just not going to be able to do that.

02:44So look, they host the Patriots are going to have problem scoring here.

02:49And Jamar Chase and his agent, they're working hard trying to get this deal done.

02:53We know Jamar wants a Justin Jefferson deal at $35 million per season.

03:01What I would tell you when you're trying to get a deal done with the Bengals, good luck.
