00:00Well, let's start with the commanders and Eagles at the link.

00:03It should be awesome.

00:05Yes, sir.

00:06And first of all, Scott, the weather you saw the slop at the

00:09link last week.

00:10Nothing like that for this game is matter of fact the warmest

00:13day of the week on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field game

00:17time temp around 3 Eastern about 40 degrees shouldn't get

00:20lower than 37 as of now.

00:23No precip in the forecast wind should be low to moderate.

00:26So when is not to be a factor whether it's not to be a factor.

00:29That's a good thing.

00:29Now, first of all, this is the third time they played right

00:33first time Jane Daniels said that rib injury second time

00:36Daniels went off against the Eagles.

00:38He had five touchdown passes in Landover, Maryland at FedEx.

00:42So the Eagles are looking for a little bit of revenge.

00:45Now you got to understand Scott if you look at that game,

00:48right?

00:49This is when Jalen Hurts had the concussion after 12 plays.

00:53I give the Eagles credit.

00:53They fought.

00:54They actually had to leave most of the game with Kenny Pickett

00:56as quarterback, but the defense choked in the end and they

00:59wound up losing that game.

01:00Now when we look at Washington, they do have one key injury.

01:04We have to mention.

01:04This is this is interesting to watch your drawn pain.

01:07They're stud defensive tackle.

01:10He's got a dislocated thumb.

01:12He'll play with that.

01:13He's already play with it, but he also has a knee injury.

01:15So we got to watch that but turning our attention to the

01:17Eagle Scott that this this surprised me because Dallas

01:20Goddard had an excellent game last week gets the Rams.

01:23He's got an ankle injury.

01:24Now he watched practice today.

01:26He didn't practice.

01:27And then Cam Juergens, their starting center.

01:31He's got a back injury now offensive lineman Scott and

01:33back injuries.

01:34You're always concerned.

01:35So what they did today is they moved Landon Dickerson their

01:38left guard over to center.

01:40He played center in college.

01:41So he's taking those center snaps today and the tight end

01:44man up for some reason Dallas Goddard can't play.

01:47Grant Calcaterra, who's not a good blocker to pretty good

01:49athlete good pass catcher.

01:51He would fill in but man Dallas Goddard Scott is one of the

01:53better two-way tight ends of the National Football League.

01:56That would be a problem for me Scott if Goddard couldn't play

02:00really when you look at this series Scott.

02:02It's very fascinating.

02:03When you look at Washington remember in the first matchup,

02:06they held that big lead going to the fourth quarter than the

02:09Eagles went off.

02:11In fact, I scored 20 straight points Barclay to touchdown

02:13runs and then in the second game.

02:17Daniels absolutely Scott just went off and that that that's

02:21that they were Scott to be honest with you that game was

02:24the only one where the Eagles defense stroke and that's

02:27something to keep an eye on as we get closer to Sunday.

02:30All right.

02:30What about you know on the commander side?

02:34What are their problems?

02:36Well other than Jaron Payne Scott who's got that injury

02:39that they're going to be healthy enough.

02:41Now the one thing you worry about.

02:43Okay.

02:44I know Marshall Lattimore is a very good corner, but some

02:47people around the league would argue is he what he once was

02:49you and I've talked about the hamstring problems.

02:51He didn't play in that first matchup.

02:53Remember they that game was before the trade deadline.

02:55So that she was after it.

02:58But the problem is remember when Scott when they got Lattimore,

03:00he didn't play for several weeks with that hamstring.

03:02So he's healthy.

03:03He's over.

03:04That's a good thing.

03:05The thing that though that teams have told me if you go are

03:09you trying to score against Washington?

03:10You throw the football.

03:11You're not going to make your money running.

03:12I know the Eagles will run the ball.

03:13We know that it starts with them.

03:15But the bottom line is there will be opportunities if you

03:18could block up front and we know the Eagles have the NFL's

03:21best offensive lines either Detroit or Philly and most

03:23people think it's Philly.

03:25So I expect it now with the weather clearing up a little

03:27bit and by the way, Jalen Hurts.

03:28We should add this.

03:30He's taken his reps.

03:31He did today.

03:32He had that left knee injury in the last game and AJ Brown

03:35said he feels better with that left that left knee injury.

03:38Remember he got hurt against your Steelers in week 15 when

03:42the Eagles are actually throwing the ball to run the clock

03:44out and he jammed his knee in the turf.

03:46So that's one thing to look at but I will tell you this the

03:49commanders are way healthier right now than the Eagles are

03:52just stay tuned for that.
