So let's start with Ryan.

You think that Washington is going to beat Philly and make the playoffs?

Oh, sure, You know, I've been trying to tell you all this for probably the last half of this year.

I don't know, like you just never know what.

You just never know what goes on with the N F C East.

You don't know anything about these teams.

I believe if Alex Smith is the quarterback, they have the best chance toe win this week.

I believe that's the way that this team plays better under his leadership.

Under his inspiration and also the way that he protects the football and allows guys like McKissick and Gibson to play in the backfield with Gibson has been banged up in the last few weeks.

It's about this defense, right?

This chase.

Young and his defensive line dominate.

Jalen hurts when you go back to the last two games.

He's been pressured 45 times in SAT nine times against the Saints in Week one.

In the first week that he started, he wasn't sacked at all.

He made quick decisions.

He got outside of the pocket.

He used his legs.

We haven't seen those things the last two weeks.

And so you combine that with the way that this team plays defense up front.

Some of the secondary players that they have that can make some plays on the outside.

It looks like Washington should win.

But that's the NFC East, right?

Yeah, you don't dang.

No.

They might come into the game and totally blow it.

And then we see the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs and Jerry Jones is saying, I told you so.

And so it looks like Washington's to be the favorite, But these games have to be played in this.

This division is unpredictable.

Yeah, I've been asked this question like three times between get up in first take the last couple of days, and I feel like my answer changed every time because, like, Ryan, I don't dang, no.

But I'm gonna go with Washington right now because they have.

The only thing that I do know that I can rely on is a front for so I can't rely on the Cowboys offense.

I can't rely on their defense even though their offense showed up lately, and they've gotten a lot of turnovers in the past couple weeks.

They're unreliable.

Everyone knows that.

And the same is true of the Eagles.

They've been troubled with a bunch of injuries, but they also have been inconsistent.

They've been better since they got Jalen hurts, but he hasn't been consistent either.

He had that one great week in week one, and then he had a good week, but a couple of losses.

So I can't trust anything but Chase Young and those guys up front for Washington.

So I'm just gonna go with what I know and say that they're gonna find a way to win because that defense is so special.

And maybe Taylor hi Nikki or or Alex Smith?

I don't know.

Or maybe McLaurin.

They'll put him at quarterback because he's their best receiver.

Whoever they put that quarterback hopefully doesn't turn the ball over and get them in field goal range or something enough to get enough points to beat the Eagles and get into the playoffs.

That's what I would trust.

I live here in D.

C also, so maybe I'm a little biased by that.

Well, what they need to do I think is the NFC East.

There should be a stamp on the championship T shirts and hats that say no in void.

And they should know Team from the NFC East should even get into the playoffs.

Because if you look at the team that doesn't win the championship, they might have six or seven wins.

So you're going in.

You're gonna get into the playoff race with a six and 10, 6 and 10 record or or seven and nine.

Give me a break.

They should let the Cardinals or the Rams, one of those teams that actually has some, some type of fighting them.

That that in a playoff game they could possibly come out with a victory.

You think that the Cowboys are Yes, yes, right?

We saw with the CEO the question.

The question is, the question is, well, Washington make the playoffs.

We wanna know who's gonna win the NFC East.

And you're telling me that the Cardinals gonna win the NFC East?

Come on, man, I understand that way.

Have a little bit of fun, but, you know, you just gonna completely off the board.

I thought you was a Belichick.

I thought you was disciplined.

I thought, You follow rules.

It doesn't matter.

The NFC East winner is, and I'll give you the stone cold.

It doesn't matter because the rock star it doesn't matter.

Whoever wins is the NFC East get into a playoff game.

What happens?

It's like a tune up for the other team.

It s go out here.

Let's go out here and win this game.

I mean, NFC East.

Okay?

Because, look, they're not the Seattle.

They don't have beast mode.

Any of these teams don't have Lynch running in the backfield.

Okay, so they're not the Seahawks.

When they were when they got in at what?

88 79.

Not everybody, everybody and everybody in these things.

Everybody is absolutely awful.

And we asked this question every week because we don't know.

We know that it gives us good conversation and you know, he's talking about being, you know, Dom, saying, being reliable, we just don't know.
