00:00Adam, let's get to Philadelphia.

00:04I know you're tied into that team here.

00:06If we're looking at the Philadelphia Eagles in a two-pronged question, one with the Cleveland

00:09Browns also.

00:10From an Eagles perspective, coming out of the break, teams getting healthy, the expectations

00:13inside the building for the rest of the way, but also, if one in five is now the new record

00:18for Cleveland at the end of this football game, what do they do with their quarterback?

00:22You know, it's interesting, Donny.

00:24Let's go to Cleveland first.

00:26Kevin Stefanski shot down any potential quarterback change literally immediately after they lost

00:30last week, saying, no, we're going with Deshaun, we're not making any changes.

00:34It's contract-related.

00:35Let's call it like it is.

00:36You can play like this, continue to play like this, and think the defensive players in particular

00:43are eventually not going to start saying, what's going on here?

00:45Because I know their defense isn't playing lights out like it did last year, but they're

00:49keeping them in the game.

00:50The offense has been pitiful.

00:51A worse yards per pass attempt of the league for Deshaun Watson, one of the worst we've

00:55ever seen.

00:56He looks bad.

00:57Now, look, the Eagle defense, Donny, as they come out of the bye, by the way, Nick Sirianni,

01:013-0 lifetime, coming out of a bye, their defense has been really disappointing.

01:06As you know, being an Eagles fan, it's been extremely disappointing, but I'm expecting

01:10some changes.

01:11Cooper Dejean, their second-round pick out of Iowa, should see a lot of time in their

01:14nickel position where Avanti Maddox really struggled.

01:17That's one thing you're probably going to see today when they take on the Browns in

01:19less than an hour.

01:21But the bottom line is, there's a reason why this has got the biggest point spread today.

01:24It moved from 8.5 to 9.5, because the Browns can't move the football, guys.

01:28Their offense is pitiful.

01:30And unfortunately, Nick Chubb isn't ready yet.

01:31Their hope is that he'll be ready next week.

01:33We'll see.

01:34But the bottom line is, Cleveland is off on offense.

01:37They should have re-signed Joe Flacco, by the way.

01:38That's another story for another time.

01:40Jameis Winston is back up.

01:42The watch today is, what if they're down 20-0.5, where a great comeback away from Jameis Winston

01:49is right there.

01:50We'll see what happens today.

01:54We'll see what happens.
