00:00We expect mobility. We'll talk about both, but I'll ask you this first DRS of the two quarterbacks today

00:07Running around out there. Do you prefer one over the other?

00:10It's got to be Jalen hurts because I also think there's a chip on his shoulder talking about from a Hertz perspective today

00:15Where he didn't play bad two years ago

00:17But the fact that it was a losing quarterback and so much doubt not from him not from the Eagles

00:22But the outside noise and the outside public telling them you're lucky on a really good football team

00:28We're just riding the coattails here. You're only passing for a buck 80 game at sometimes. You're clearly not an NFL player

00:33That's worthy of your 250 million dollar contract

00:35I believe he shows up today and the one thing we do love is I don't think we're worried at all about that knee

00:41So if you're asking me in this game trustability, I do think Patrick Holmes is a decent day on the ground

00:45But I expect Jalen hurts to have a good game. I second that I like hurts on the ground as well

00:50I think the added RPO value that he brings and the and the tush push value to maybe you know

00:57Take it an extra one or two yards or three yards would you know converted third downs and goal line opportunities?

01:03It's always there and Jalen hurts is a winner. That's the bottom line

01:07You know the fact that he lost this Super Bowl and his screensaver has that him walking off the field with Kansas City

01:14Celebrating I expected dynamic performance through the air but on the ground as well one thing that I was noticing

01:20Throughout the end of the regular season is Jalen at some of that pop back in the run game

01:25You look at the long run 35 against Carolina 23 against Pittburgh again, Washington

01:30he only played a quarter right whatever it was get a long run of 22 3 for 41 in that game and

01:35Against Green Bay had a 15 against the Rams the 44-yard touchdown

01:40Didn't have as much explosiveness against Washington. There weren't as many opportunities

01:45Though when you think like I know it's I'll be ran the ball ten times

01:48we had a lot of tush pushes within that football game there, so the

01:52That is what's going to be fascinating to me the 36 and a half number that we see today on sports million pick them the

01:58Pat Mahomes number today is

02:0029 and a half. There's another rushing number. I did want to ask you guys about here sports millions pick them. It's five and a half

02:07Xavier worthy

02:09It feels like it's one of those numbers that you know people were talking about going into the game against Buffalo

02:15He ended up I think with multiple carries in that football game. So now it's really on the radar

02:19Is it a number Joe?

02:21Is it something that we're hearing too much about or would you still be interested in worthy on the ground in this game?

02:27I think it's a fair point because when you have in a physical defense

02:31Right the way you potentially game plan to wear them down as you run them sideline to sideline

02:36that could be with your running backs Isaiah Pacheco Kareem hunt or it could be on fly sweeps or reverses with

02:43Xavier worthy and then we talk about his performance and how he's gotten more involved in terms of the offense

02:49He's done that he's more confident now as a route runner

02:52And I think Andy Reid is more confident in calling his number in terms of rushing a place as well

02:58So I think it's a good look five and a half is a very low number when you think about it

03:03Yeah, I go higher on that for the simple reason is I think he's getting one carry on a jet sweep

03:07He's probably going to pick up five six seven eight nine yards be at least in that realm where if you don't get it

03:12It's like okay. I got that one carry but also understands to Joe's point. You're gonna keep the defense honest

03:17You're gonna see him run that jet sweep motion multiple times in this game. You have to give it to him

03:20So the defense actually believes he's going to get the football

03:23I think it's a really really solid play higher to that for me. What's fascinating is the game against Buffalo. He had two for 16

03:30The game before that it goes against everything that we would typically subscribe to one carry again, right DRS

03:37We're not just actually one carry. He'll get six seven yard negative eight yards. And what happens is if that happens?

03:44All right, well now I need about three four carries get out to take me out of this

03:50Right, yeah

03:54That's it

03:56Boys tailback. Yeah. Oh you back in on your right switch things up ain't working. Oh

04:02What if we see Xavier worthy a tailback? I think that means things are going. Oh
