00:00 Isaiah Wynn is not as weak to weak with a quadriceps injury.
00:05 More than likely he's gonna be sidelined.
00:07 We don't know if he's gonna be on IR.
00:09 That means your entire left side of your offensive line is gonna be backups like
00:14 it was against the Eagles.
00:15 Now in fairness to Isaiah Wynn who struggled, Lester Cotton,
00:20 who struggled mightily as his replacement, he won't be facing
00:25 the best, most dangerous foursome of defensive linemen in the NFL.
00:31 This week against the Patriots.
00:32 So that's a step in the right direction.
00:35 But he's clearly gotta play better than he played against the Eagles.
00:38 Costing the team a touchdown, three pressures in the sack allowed.
00:42 He's going to be competing for that left guard spot with Robert Jones.
00:48 Well, I'd like to correct myself in something that I said.
00:50 I said that I don't know if Robert Jones gonna be able to play because I see
00:55 this guy limping around the locker room.
00:57 And Chris Perkins, my former colleague with Sunset will inform me,
01:02 because this is obviously my first year covering the team in a long time and
01:06 being in the locker room.
01:07 I'm looking at a guy who's limping around the locker room, he ain't playing.
01:12 Apparently, Robert Jones has a limp and
01:15 walks with a limp naturally and has his entire career.
01:20 And I did not know this.
01:22 >> The Jalen Waddle situation.
01:23 You remember the Jalen Waddle situation?
01:27 >> I created the Jalen Waddle situation.
01:29 Are you kidding me?
01:30 >> Yes, you did.
01:32 >> Yeah, like yeah.
01:34 So Lester Cotton probably is healthy.
01:37 >> Robert Jones, you mean?
01:40 >> Robert Jones, he just looks like he's not healthy.
01:43 So my apologies to you, Robert, and your family.
01:45 Hopefully you get a fair opportunity in shake.
01:51 You got nine starts of experience starting at left guard.
01:54 But it does sound like based on talking to Mike McDaniel,
01:57 this was Lester Cotton's job to lose.
