00:00I want to ask you about one quarterback though specifically for today's slate and that is

00:09Gino Smith because on primetime people saw him exit early.

00:13Now the projection seems to be that he's going to play.

00:17I don't know if that's because they're just begging that it's not be Sam Howell.

00:20What are you guys feeling about Seattle's quarterback?

00:23Look, sometimes what we don't see is as important as what we do see, right?

00:30Never saw anything big on Gino Smith when he left that last game and got carded off.

00:35Never saw anything significant and thankfully all the MRIs and imaging came back nothing

00:39significant.

00:40As a matter of fact, he was full practice all week.

00:42So full confidence that physically Gino Smith is fine.

00:47Let's see what happens there.

00:48We're looking at two quarterbacks that should be fine today in Philadelphia and Washington,

00:51Doc, and I'll start the conversation off right away.

00:53Jalen Hurts with that fractured finger.

00:55How do we think that plays into today?

00:57A little bit cooler temperatures.

00:58Does it affect him at all?

01:00I don't know.

01:01Maybe a little bit ball handling and ball security won't affect his throwing at all.

01:07And you probably also seen the reports of Josh Allen since week one with a broken hand

01:12left hand that he's played through and obviously he's played well.

01:16He's over that now.

01:17So I don't think that's a big factor in this game today at all.

01:21Couple quick picks here in this game.

01:23Taking a look, let's just say at the wide receiver position, AJ Brown banged up a little

01:26bit with a knee injury.

01:27Also, Zachert's getting cleared, it looks like, to play today for Washington.

01:31Was that a surprise at all coming back so quickly from the concussion?

01:34A little bit of a surprise for Zachert's.

01:36He was a late developing full practice return and clearance through the independent narrow.

01:42Little bit of a surprise for Zachert's.

01:44No surprise on AJ Brown being able to play through.

01:47We said in game, even though it was a pseudo hip drop tackle and he did fumble the ball

01:52as a result of it, his left leg wasn't planted in the ground, which makes the escape from

01:58injury better.

02:00He just got landed on rather than twisted up.
