00:00 With Armstead, I'm kind of thinking it's more than 50/50.
00:04 - Oh, he's playing.
00:05 I have no doubt in my mind that he's playing.
00:10 - See, I would be with you if it wasn't for the fact
00:12 that he was limited today.
00:13 - But he's gonna be limited.
00:15 He's probably gonna be limited every day
00:17 from the standpoint of, do you want,
00:19 even though Friday is a little light day, I mean.
00:22 - Correct.
00:24 - I see what you're saying there.
00:26 I see what you're trying to hint at.
00:28 Yeah.
00:29 - But do you want to overexert him two days before the game?
00:33 Think about it.
00:36 - Yeah, no, Mar, you said it before.
00:38 Friday practice, which anybody who would know,
00:41 if you haven't followed or you're not aware,
00:44 the Friday practice is pretty light.
00:46 The heavy days are Wednesday and Thursday.
00:49 So to me, that's why if I don't see full on Friday, mm.
00:52 So that's why I'm not ready to go 100% he's playing.
00:57 - Jaylen, they also had a bunch of guys
00:59 who were questionable.
01:00 - So hold on, time out, time out, time out.
01:02 - Time out, time out, go ahead.
01:04 - So why would Mike McDaniel say,
01:06 unless I get a red light, he's got the green light.
01:10 And when he's referring to, I think,
01:13 the red light would be soreness, setback,
01:16 looking bad during the warmup.
01:21 So why would he say that if he wasn't a go?
01:27 Why wouldn't he practice full if he's a go
01:29 during a light Friday practice?
01:31 This is why, again, I don't know.
01:34 My guess is it's gonna come down to Sunday morning.
01:37 Terram says he's gonna take part in warmups.
01:40 How do you feel, Terram, how's it looking?
01:43 Be honest with us, you gotta be straight with us.
01:46 And if there's any sort of hesitation,
01:47 if it's not, I'm good to go.
01:49 I think, Terram, you're gonna sit another week.
01:52 That's my, the fact that Kendall Lem has played
01:55 so well at left tackle in his absence,
01:58 I think, gives McDaniel, and yes, I get it.
02:03 I mean, it might contradict what I've said before,
02:04 that Terron Armstead is still at a different level
02:07 as a player, but the reality and the more I think of it,
02:10 yeah, the fact that Kendall Lem has played very well
02:14 gives Mike McDaniel a little bit of a security blanket
02:16 to not rush Armstead.
02:18 - Are you in the Kendall Lem's playing well enough,
02:21 let's rest Terron Armstead camp?
02:24 - Not let's rest, I'm in the Kendall Lem's playing
02:28 well enough that- - We don't need
02:30 Terron Armstead camp?
02:32 - That we don't need to rush Terron Armstead
02:34 if he's not completely ready to go.
02:36 Yes, I'm in that camp, absolutely.
