00:00Another AFC quarterback looking to make his return.

00:02And we say, for who, for what?

00:04As Ricky Waters used to say in the city of Philadelphia

00:06when the alligator arm passes when they were losing football games.

00:10Burrow, a full participant in practice.

00:13First time since the injury, Joe's 21-day practice window is now open.

00:17When they ask coach, hey, man, you think he can play this week?

00:20He's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:21Got to see some practices.

00:23But he's close to 100% now.

00:26Listen, of course, Joe Burrow wants to get back.

00:30Out on the field.

00:30I mean, who wouldn't?

00:32But I'd be watching very closely that offensive line in practice there, Joe,

00:37and ask yourself, do I really want to go out and take more hits here with it?

00:43Because once again, they're not going to protect you.

00:46And I'll say, Donnie, again, what did Flacco do?

00:50Flacco's putting up 30, 40 points a game, and your defense is giving up 50.

00:54So I'm not sure what the difference is here at this point.

00:57If you can't protect Burrow, he's your future, not Flacco.

01:01Going to be interesting to see what Zach Taylor,

01:04does he try to save his job with Flacco?

01:05I don't know.

01:06I still think he's another guy that will be fired by season's end.
