00:00So I said today that, you know, I think they have to run Barkley down their throat.
00:07I don't care what they have drawn up.
00:10They have to stick to that.
00:12That's what got them here.
00:14Barkley and defense.
00:15They cannot give up on Barkley.
00:19The numbers, like a buck twelve and a half, that's a low number for him.
00:23This guy's had 70-yard touchdown runs in multiples, 60-yard touchdown runs in multiples.
00:28I mean, the guy's going off.
00:31Their offensive line is enormous.
00:33They have to pound it.
00:34Because you know Spagnuolo's got it drawn up to stop Barkley.
00:36The whole thing is to stop Barkley.
00:38And I don't think just because, let's say early, they stop him in the first quarter
00:42and they snuff him out.
00:44They can't give up on that run.
00:46No, I agree with you.
00:47That's the foundation, Scott, of their offense.
00:49It starts with Barkley.
00:50And by the way, check that Hurts rushing prop, because he's going to be part of it.
00:54That left knee, he's good to go.
00:56He looked really good.
00:57He made a touchdown call back against Washington, so let's not forget that.
01:00Now, I want to touch on that Barkley prop, right?
01:03The rushing prop.
01:04You know why it's lower?
01:05Because it went under.
01:07I know, he went under in the championship game.
01:09Which is hard to believe.
01:10He has a big run in the first carry of the game.
01:12He hit a game-well, their number two back, who, by the way, has been clear to play.
01:15He'll play.
01:16He left that game with a concussion.
01:18And yet it still didn't go over and they blew them out.
01:20It was a very odd situation for it to go under, but I'm with you.
01:24If he had to take a side, I like the over there.
01:27I want to update a couple of injuries.
01:28I mentioned Kenny Gamewell.
01:29He's been clear to play.
01:30I don't understand how he got cleared.
01:31So two weeks later, you're fine?
01:33Well, concussion.
01:34I mean, usually it's around seven days, the NFL says.
01:36So he's cleared.
01:37He doesn't have any issues.
01:38Yeah, I'm not comfortable with guys that have concussions getting a lot of carries.
01:42No, but here's the thing.
01:43He's a good player.
01:44He is.
01:45He's Scotty.
01:46He's huge in pass protection.
01:47He's more or less their third down back.
01:49Barkley, believe it or not, all the hoopla is not a good pass protector.
01:53So getting Gamewell back, that's good for the Eagles.
01:55Brandon Graham should be activated tomorrow.
01:58He's looking...
01:59Do you trust a guy that has...
02:02He's four months removed from tricep surgery, but I don't...
02:07It takes four or five months.
02:09He's two months.
02:10My point is, how in God's name do you block a guy that's 300 pounds coming at you?
02:17There's no one that...
02:18Even Dr. Child told me, you can't recover in two months.
02:21He's out there.
02:22He's phonying it just so he can play.
02:25He's being a tough guy.
02:26Well, here's the thing, though.
02:28The coaches are not going to put him out there unless he can do his job.
02:30But on what you're saying, it's his left triceps, okay?
02:36Triceps is from your elbow to your shoulder.
02:38He claims he's got enough power, but they're going to test it.
02:41He's imagining things.
02:43It's not like the opponents that you've...
02:45Don't have that tape.
02:46They saw it.
02:47He got hurt against the Rams.
02:48By the way, it was week 12.
02:50He was incredible.
02:52He's 36 years old.
02:53The oldest Ed Rush of the National Football League.
02:57Is this it for him?
02:58He's going to play in this game and then retire?
03:00He already announced his retirement and then went back on it.
03:02If they win, he's definitely retiring.
03:04So is he going to do his radio show and keep upsetting the Eagles and their players when
03:11he's not playing with them anymore?
03:12Is he going to be a controversial podcaster?
03:15He actually has a podcast.
03:17Yes, he does work for WIP.
03:19For the folks to understand at home what you're referring to, he was just asked about a couple
03:24things and about the passing game and A.J. Brown made a comment about what's wrong with
03:31their offenses in the passing game, but he never mentioned Hurts.
03:35So Graham just assumed that he was taking a shot at Hurts.
03:40He assumed that A.J. Brown was and by the way...
03:42I think he did take a shot at him and I think that it got huge in the story and then when
03:48it got huge, they lied that...
03:50They tried to walk it back.
03:51Oh, they tried to walk it back.
03:52I thought it was ridiculous.
