00:00Doc, let's start with the quarterback position.

00:02There's a number of key guys here.

00:05And I want to just start actually with Baker Mayfield.

00:09We were just talking about him where the Bucs getting some, you know,

00:13trending up news in other spots, but at the price of Baker Mayfield,

00:17maybe not being 100%.

00:18How are you guys grading Tampa's quarterback?

00:23We've been saying all week long that Baker Mayfield is going to be fine.

00:28He left that game more for the 31-7 score and just to make sure there was

00:34nothing else with the shoulder.

00:35Once it was reported as an AC joint sprain on the left shoulder,

00:39we were very confident he would play game day injection, have no issues,

00:43and that's going to be the case.

00:44Expect him to be 100% full go.

00:47Remember, the AC joint sprain is an injury that recently Joe Flacco

00:50with the Bengals was playing through on his right throwing shoulder.

00:54This is Baker's left shoulder, complete non-issue.

00:57Wow.

00:57All right.

00:58That's good insight there.

00:58That actually takes a lot of concern,

01:00and I think that's maybe caused some overreactions within the market,

01:04which is, by the way, sick picks.

01:06They've been fantastic.

01:07Promo code, sports grid, free week.

01:10Do it.

01:11Trust me.

01:11Do it.

01:12I do not break game.

01:13I'm not just saying this.

01:14Doc knows it's true.

01:15Won't break the game downs without the dashboard up.

01:17Just won't do it.

01:18Doc Daniel Jones, this did catch me by surprise a little bit.

01:22I didn't realize how hobbled Daniel Jones might be.

01:26What are you and the team over at sixcourt.com seeing around the Colts quarterback?

01:30Well, let me tell you something.

01:31I don't think Daniel Jones or the Colts knew what it was in the beginning.

01:35Remember, it was listed as a calf.

01:37It's been several weeks now.

01:39It was listed as a calf, and then I think they finally got x-rays, and now they say it's a fibula.

01:44It's going to be fibula shaft.

01:46The reason he's able to play through is the tibia is the big, strong bone, weight-bearing bone.

01:51I'm not saying it's not painful.

01:52There is video of him limping around, but there's no doubt he's going to play.

01:56There's no doubt he's going to be able to throw the ball downfield and move around in the pocket.

02:01His rushing ability and open field ability will be a little bit limited.

02:05Not that he won't run, but he won't be as speedy.

02:08He's actually a very good straight-line runner.

02:11So it's something that will get better over time, and you have to remember, let's not overreact here.

02:15This is several weeks old for Daniel Jones.
