Jack Strand

I honestly didn't expect to see Michael Penix at, at all this year, or at least not as soon as it sounds like he'll come back, but uh, he could be back in the next couple of weeks.

Is Jack Strand rookie? Honestly, they should just throw him...

Well, you don't wanna throw him out on the road in, in Pittsburgh-

[laughs]

I, I can't...

It's a laundry list of knee surgeries poor Penix has had.

But you know, Jack Strand, rookie, comes in, he's gonna lean on Bijan a lot.

I'm gonna s- I'm gonna go with, with none, because if you were concerned going in you would've let him slide, but he...

[upbeat music] Back on the Insiders, with Tua Tagovailoa dealing with an oblique injury, it's Cooper Rush set to start for the Falcons in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Rookie quarterback Jack Strand will serve as the backup quarterback.

Deshaun Watson will start for the Browns against the Jags Sunday after their quarterback competition in the preseason.

As we welcome back Sarah Walsh.

Cooper Rush is gonna be the quarterback for the Falcons.

His backup is Jack Strand out of Minnesota Moorhead.

What do you make of this? Because the Steelers, I played them early this week at, as three-point favorites at minus 125.

This line's up to five-and-a-half, some spots up to six.

I think it's going to be an under, but – I don't question whether the Steelers can beat the Falcons by six points at home.

I question at what point in time do the Falcons go from Cooper Rush to Jack Strand, the rookie.

I'm going to say midway through the third quarter.

So give me the Steelers to cover as well, clean sweep.

They had a Nepo offensive line coach.

I just think like Cooper Rush and Jack Strand out of Minnesota Duluth or whatever, Minnesota Moorhead.

That's pretty rough.

I'll give you the Browns for sure.

This one a lot less tantalizing all of a sudden as Cooper Rush is going to be starting for the Falcons.

Jack Strand will be backing him up.

No Tua, no Penix.

It's conceivable that Tua may never play another down of football again.

No, you mean Jack.

Jack Strand?

Nah, Jack...

Jack and the Beanstalk?

Cooper Rush, I think, is their third straight quarterback.

Jack Strand, preseason

legend Jack Strand, man.

Maybe Jack Strand.

But, yeah, I mean, ultimately that's going to determine the ceiling for this team.

But again, in this matchup individually, I just wonder, is Houston going to be able to get the ground game going? Because that's a big hindrance to the Bills' season outlook.

It

does.
