00:00this is an odd one because obviously i know that you you were not super sold he would maybe even

00:06be back but he smashed expectations set by cincinnati i think some of the decision making

00:12cincinnati made at the quarterback position might have been different if they thought joe burrow

00:16was going to be under center for them into thanksgiving what do you make of burrow's return

00:22what do you expect from joe burrow late night here on thanksgiving well there's no question he

00:27exceeded expectations but there's also no question his turf toe left foot is nowhere near 100

00:35if he was a running back if he were a wide receiver if he were a defensive player almost any other

00:42position besides quarterback he would not be playing today but because he's a quarterback

00:48because he has a strong arm because he's joe burrow and because it's his front left foot

00:55he is playing what you're going to see is a lot of joe burrow from shotgun because you can't push

01:01off that left foot to get out from under center almost all shotgun obviously we know no t higgins

01:08but he will have jamar chase he's going to be able to throw the ball downfield because he's going to be

01:13push off that back foot brock purdy he's had some trouble pushing off and driving the ball three picks

01:18last game because his turf toe not as bad non-surgical but he's on his right foot so we

01:24expect a reasonable output from joe burrow today from the pocket but quick throws they're not going

01:31to put him in harm's way he's not going to run the ball etc
