00:00Baltimore, as an opponent, is it almost impossible to really gauge what the threat is here because we don't really
00:08know what is going to happen with Lamar Jackson?
00:12Or do you feel like we can almost start to guess that maybe he would be back this week?
00:16Because it seems like it's been trending towards him returning the last two weeks, but he still hasn't yet.
00:22Which is why I don't want to lean all the way into, oh yeah, I think he's going to play.
00:26Because that's kind of weird to me, the way it's kind of gone down.
00:30It feels like, it felt like he was going to play this week towards the end of the week.
00:35And then he didn't.
00:36So I'm like, okay, well, that means he's got to play next week, right?
00:39But I don't know, Joe.
00:40I mean, if he was able to play this week, I guess he would have.
00:44It's a division game.
00:46I understand, like, trying to protect you from yourself and not getting re-injured and all that kind of stuff.
00:51But even if he plays, you know what that tells me?
00:53That even if he plays against the Bills, I don't think he's to the point where he's going to be
00:57the full Lamar, right?
00:59Like, if he wasn't able to play at all this week, and then, you know, you get him next week,
01:04is that suddenly like, oh yeah, he's 100%.
01:06That means he, what, he didn't want, they didn't play him at 75%, 80%, which you think they would have.
01:11I don't know.
01:11It's an interesting situation.
01:14I do think a lot of it, you know, handicapping this game depends on that.
01:18But look, I also think just from the Bills' perspective, Joe, I mean, they're getting healthy themselves.
01:24We'll find out this week their own injury report starting on Wednesday.
01:27But DJ Moore has now had a month to get that shoulder back.
01:32Ed Oliver's had a month or so whenever, you know, his last time he played to get healthier again.
01:37Chubb and Kincaid left last game with rib injuries, but they both came back in some capacity.
01:43So you feel like that's going to be okay.
01:46Jordan Hancock's eligible to come off IR, which helps because CJ Gardner-Johnson's gone.
01:50And that's the big loss, obviously, on the field, CJ Gardner-Johnson.
01:53But so, you know, I think the Bills are a good position here.
01:59But I'll say this, this reminds me a bit of New England when they came to town, which is, I
02:06mean, and the LA Chargers.
02:08Chargers were just terrible, though.
02:09It's a wounded, desperate team that needs to win with talent.
02:14Yep.
02:14And anytime you have that, it is very dangerous.
