00:00So, as we go into this game on Sunday, Doc, what are we looking at here on both sides?

00:06Well, all the question marks are on the Eagles' side of the ball.

00:10Really?

00:11Like most Super Bowls, you know, you've got to be kind of healthy to get here.

00:14This is why the Lions aren't here, right?

00:16Every year, if Sports Injury Central is correct, predicting wild card and divisional round gains

00:22based on the healthier team, it's elimination of the less healthy teams.

00:26The Chiefs really don't have any issues.

00:28The only question mark is, will Sky Moore clear and return?

00:32But that's sort of a minor story.

00:34On the Eagles' side, one is Brandon Graham.

00:37Can he really come back from that triceps tear?

00:40That's what they're saying, that he's going to play.

00:42How crazy is that?

00:44Isn't he like four months early?

00:46Yeah, look.

00:47What, are you stupid?

00:49I get why he might try to play.

00:52Maybe his last game in his career, go off with the ring.

00:55But I don't know how he's going to hold off a blocker with that torn triceps.

00:58I don't see how he's going to be effective.

01:00And that's like giving them an advantage.

01:04Can you imagine knowing you've got a guy that has a torn, you know,

01:09he's out there with a fresh off of surgery.

01:12How in God's name is he going to do that job?

01:14He's not.

01:15I was on with Ross Tucker, and he asked me about him.

01:17And I said, as an offensive lineman, Ross, if you were playing,

01:20how would you feel if you knew you had to go up against the guy with the triceps

01:24less than three months from his surgery, and he couldn't hold you off the block?

01:27He said, we'd love it.

01:28We'd make that the point of attack.

01:29Of course.

01:30I'm going to take advantage of him.

01:31So I don't know that he's going to.

01:33But then, you know, Kenneth Gainwell with the concussion with the two weeks,

01:37he should clear.

01:38Jalen Hurts' knee still isn't 100%.

01:40But the bigger issues there for the Eagles are on the offensive line.

01:44Cam Juergens.

01:45So wait, timeout.

01:46Timeout.

01:47Let's go back to – I want to talk to you about Cam Juergens for a second.

01:50But I want to go back to Jalen Hurts for a second.

01:53Jalen Hurts had a concussion.

01:55Then he had a knee.

01:57Then he went out and went off in a game and scored, what, three touchdowns?

02:02I mean, the guy looked like he was the healthiest he's ever been in his life.

02:06I don't buy all of his injuries.

02:09Remember the day of the knee, he took the knee brace off,

02:12and he went out and ran for three touchdowns.

02:14I mean, I don't think there's anything wrong with him.

02:17I think you've got to give Kellen Moore and the Eagles credit for that,

02:20for the scheme that they did.

02:21They certainly had less runs than usual RPO runs.

02:24He ran the ball effectively when he did run,

02:26but he didn't run completely dynamically.

02:29They used a lot of downfield passes and A.J. Brown early.

02:32They had a good offensive game plan.

02:34The Eagles are a great team.

02:35But I just don't think his knee is 100%.

02:37But that doesn't mean he's not going to do well.

02:39There's two different stories.
