We're in
10:27
playoff positioning, and we need to play better at the quarterback position.
10:30
Then I see them taking the path of whether it's Jimmy or whether it's making a trade.
10:36
There are other routes to be taken.
10:38
Josh Johnson has history with Harbaugh.
10:39
He's on the practice squad for the Bengals, so he could be signed.
10:42
He's 40 years old at this point.
14:47
What have you got going on this weekend? Are you going out to a game? Where can people
22:44
So what What are you hearing about the starting quarterback for week two? Where is Kevin Stefanski going to go?
22:53
I would not be surprised if it's Cooper Rush one more time.
22:56
And not for anything other than Tua dealing with an oblique injury, which is extremely painful.
23:02
I mean, you see it in Major League Baseball all the time.
23:04
And Sam Darnold had one during the playoffs last year that if it wasn't the postseason, maybe he sits a week as well, if not two.
23:11
So Tua dealing with that right now.
23:13
on top of everything else that they're dealing with down there in Atlanta.
28:10
uh the vikings are taking on the bears so big division game this week where are what's the status currently are you hearing anything different about how kyler murray is progressing through that protocol and where does this leave jj mccarthy in the mix
28:01
What do you think of this Saints team? Detroit's a touchdown favorite, but is Detroit in for a little bit harder of a game Sunday than fans maybe can anticipate?
28:13
Yeah, I think so.
28:14
And everybody's got their survivor picks to start the season, whether it's the Chargers or the Jaguars.
28:23
like i'd still pick the lions to win this game but i wouldn't feel as good about it as some of these other ones that that are out there um i i the saints team is really well coached i think kellen moore is excellent i really do um and tyler shuck is this might be one where we go how did this guy slide that far to a team that needed it and everybody knew that they needed a quarterback at the time i think tyler shuck uh is really good at using all of his skill set.
28:49
He throws a very catchable ball.
28:52
I hear that out of New Orleans, that he really makes it, he's receiver friendly.
28:56
And he makes smart decisions and he made some great decisions down the stretch.
30:01
But what's one thing you really like about this team heading into week one? What is one thing that concerns you?
