00:00Should yesterday's win, Keith, change your outlook on the team?

00:04How they won, you mentioned Chase Brown got them.

00:06The struggles in the red zone, which we're going to get to,

00:09may didn't look great in that game yesterday.

00:11They played down to an opponent.

00:12It's in the aftermath of Stephen A and Cam and all of those antics

00:15throughout the course of the week, and then you have the injuries on top of it.

00:18Should yesterday in any way change your outlook,

00:21like big-picture outlook for this team this year?

00:23Yeah, I think it does, and I'm not going to go freak out

00:27just because it was closer than it should have been against a bad team.

00:29I'm not doing that.

00:30It is more the injuries.

00:32So Milton Williams, we all hope that he returns on time,

00:35but we don't know that.

00:36All we know right now is they felt it was necessary to put him on IR.

00:40So it wasn't a let's wait and see, maybe he only misses two or three games.

00:45No, no, no.

00:45They're like, he's out at least four games,

00:47and it's no surprise that the game Milton Williams isn't there.

00:50They have their worst game stopping the run.

00:52True.

00:52So that's a little concerning to me.

00:54And then Will Campbell, same thing.

00:55We don't really know when he's going to be back.

00:57And so Milton Williams and Will Campbell are two of your six most important players.

01:05I mean, we could do that power ranking one day or tier,

01:08but those are two of the good tiers for tomorrow.

01:10I mean, for individual players, I mean,

01:12Drake May clearly is way out in front as the most important guy.

01:14He's his own tier.

01:15Yeah, he's his own tier.

01:15Then there's like a space.

01:16Space.

01:17Yeah.

01:17Then it's like Rabel, and then it's another space.

01:19No, no, no.

01:19But like, that position was so important from Will Campbell.

01:23And then the way Milton Williams has played this year,

01:26and then it just makes Barmore even better.

01:28And like, you just saw it firsthand yesterday.

01:29So yeah, it's not because they squeaked by.

01:31If they squeaked by and Will Campbell and Jared Wilson were healthy,

01:36I'd be like, all right, I feel kind of the same.

01:38It's the injuries that are kind of freaking me out a little bit.

01:41And no, I agree.

01:42How could it not change your outlook?

01:44It sounds like the early reporting on Will Campbell is he could be back

01:48for the playoffs.

01:48But between that and Milton Williams, and to a lesser degree, Jared Wilson,

01:52let's throw Tonga in there too, who left, came back, then left again.

01:56I'm not going to include Schooler on it, but if you want to, go for it.

01:59Like, I don't know.

02:00Dropping like flies.

02:01I don't know how that couldn't change your outlook in some way

02:04until we know Will Campbell's back and healthy.

02:06And I don't even think that's just about Will Campbell, by the way.

02:09It's about his replacement.

02:10It's not just how Will Campbell was playing.

02:12It's now we have to watch Vidarian Lowe protect the blind side

02:16of your franchise quarterback.

02:18And it was not good.
