00:00Here's Nick Sirianni who's going to try to sell you that the Eagles will be fine if they

00:08don't have hurts because replacing a quarterback is just like anywhere else on the roster.

00:13It's like replacing a running back or a wide receiver or anywhere.

00:16It's just a quarterback.

00:17Who cares?

00:18You know, there's there's different approaches that we take, you know, with that, you know,

00:23it depends on the skill set of guys and the different skill sets and, you know, sometimes

00:30it's to give the player the things that he operates well at.

00:36Sometimes it's, you know, what you're going against the defense.

00:38So there's there's not you obviously just like you would when a wide receivers out of

00:43the game or a defensive backside of the game, you adjust and this is no different.

00:50You adjust.

00:51There's a lot of similarities.

00:52There's little differences there, but there are differences, but it's just something that

00:58you adjust to.

00:59And this is the, you know, unfortunate part of the NFL.

01:02We have a lot.

01:03We've had a lot of experience doing this with different positions.

01:08And that includes quarterback falling asleep, listening to this guy lying through his teeth.

01:13The bottom line is, is that Kenny touchdown is nowhere near Jalen Hurts town.

01:20And that's just all there is to it.

01:21The Steelers gave up on him in five minutes.

01:24And that's just all you need to know.

01:26And I think Russell Wilson and Fields are better than Kenny Pickett.

01:31And they lost with Kenny Pickett at the helm last week.

01:34And so much for their 10 game winning streak.

01:36It doesn't matter that Kenny Pickett's playing my ass.

01:41They're completely different quarterbacks.

01:43Like Kenny Pickett cannot do the things that Jalen Hurts does in the run game and never

01:49will.

01:50It's just not the same.

01:52And we don't know if he's going to play or not this week.

01:53We're still very early in the process, but the Eagles are nine and a half point favorites

01:57at the link against the Cowboys, who, as we know, have been kind of spunky and have gotten

02:02themselves back to seven and eight.

02:04I don't know if they win, but nine and a half with the Cowboys and potentially Kenny Pickett

02:10playing.

02:12That sounds pretty good to me if I want to take the star with all those points.
