Yeah. And so at the beginning of the year, when we were higher on Ricky Seals Jones, Jermaine Gresham was not yet back from his Achilles injury. But he is back now. So that's factoring in. And Austin Safarian Jacobs has been dealing with his core injury. And so, you know, because he's been playing through it, we just assumed it's going to keep happening. But he only had 27% of snaps. However, the tight end was used by Blake Borrell's Niles Paul.

55:29 ↗

The other tight in there, seven receptions for 65 yards. So this is one of those things where I actually view this in good light for Austin Saffarian Jenkins or whoever that's going to be. You need to follow the ASJ injuries, see if he's practicing through the week. If his injury is getting worse, you might just keep your eyes on Nile, Paul, because if they end up saying, hey, ASJ take the week off, then I think Niles Paul is a fine start.

55:58 ↗

If Austin Saffarian Jenkins is involved and, you know, especially with Leonard Fournett out of the way, we've talked about how much better Blake Bortals is and how much more he has to throw without Fournette in the game, then if he's practicing for a full week, I think Austin Saffarian Jenkins, even though he had a bad week this week, you can look that Blake Bortals was using the tight-in position. And we can't finish a poopy section without putting Mason Crosby.

56:27 ↗

Oh my good. On notice missed four field goals, missed an extra point. I could have. And the Packers lost. They lost 31 to 23 and he missed four field goals in an extra point. Hey, caram. Poor Mason Crosby. I mean, honestly, lucky Mason Crosby that this game comes at this point in his career. Because I don't think he'll get cut. No, I, no.

56:56 ↗

That's my point. Your response is it's a bad day. But if this happened year two in his career, he's just, he's absolutely gone. So there it is, Jason. We made it through our first show. How did you feel? I feel pretty good. I feel like I can't wait for tomorrow's show. It's going to be the best waiver show of all time. It could be. I mean, I'm not, you know, it could be. It absolutely could be.
