00:00But you know what is going to happen Thursday night?

00:01Carson Wentz, baby, back in the saddle.

00:04Because J.J., understand this, Joe.

00:06Is J.J., are we hiding J.J. McCarthy here?

00:09I'm being honest right now.

00:10Are we hiding him a little bit?

00:11Because I've never seen a guy, a high ankle sprain at the quarterback position,

00:15which you can gut out that ankle injury.

00:17We've seen Patrick Mahomes play on one of those ankle injuries the very next week,

00:21including the Super Bowl, and still be running wild.

00:23Are we hiding this guy, J.J. McCarthy?

00:25Like, yeah, sit him out over here a little bit.

00:27Because Wentz is getting another start.

00:28I can't believe this kid isn't chomping at the bit to get in there.

00:31And they won't let him in?

00:33They won't.

00:34I mean, listen, I'll give O'Connell the benefit of doubt.

00:38Because he said, listen, if this was a Sunday game,

00:41we'd be having a different conversation.

00:43Because it's a short week and he hasn't played,

00:47it probably makes more sense for McCarthy to want to come back

00:51with extra time to prepare to get there.

00:53In the meantime, the way they've been protecting the quarterback,

00:57I wouldn't be in a rush if I was McCarthy either.

01:00At least get your running back, Aaron Jones, back, right?

01:03I mean, he's finally eligible to come back.

01:06Get some running game going before you throw your basically rookie quarterback

01:10to the Wolves there again.

01:12Bye.

01:14Bye.

01:18Bye.

01:31Bye.

01:32Bye.
