What's up, Baldy? Good morning. baldy good morning hey good morning guys how

are you baldie we're doing well real quick baldy um you know every time we we had you on the show

i was kind of briefing you on our survivor issue and we'd always get your your feel on our

picks are you guys still alive no we're done we took the chargers and i can't i get your feel on the arm picks. Are you guys still alive? No, we're done. We took the Chargers. And I can't remember what you said about that game. But they had 14 penalties. And I'm bringing up the charges because that's who Washington's going to play. But 14 penalties. They look like ass. They gave the Giants 200 yards. Jackson Dart, okay, he was fine.

He threw for 100 yards.

I mean, that was just a bad, bad loss.

Yeah, I mean, they let the rookie quarterback take him right down the field.

The first possession.

89 yards, the opening drive and a 15-yard, you know, like quarterback draw right up to the middle. It looked like a Friday afternoon walkthrough. Nobody touched him. So that was that. And then, you know, they lost their left tackle, Joe Alt. I mean, he's a great player. They lost the right guard, McKay Beckton. All right. You know, they already lost later. They were like playing backups to backups on the line.

And, you know, those guys up front for the Giants,

you didn't get a chance really much to see it in that opening game.

But Abdul Carter and Kvon Tibido and Brian Burns,

I mean, they hit Justin Herbert 12 times just those three guys.

So they really couldn't muster much of an offense. It just didn't look like a Charger coach team. No, they looked out of it. All right, so that being said with all those injuries, especially on the offensive line. But now they are coming back home. They know they have to play a lot better. They've got to be sound. They've got to play a better mental game and not give away so many yards. But how do you feel

about this matchup with Washington? J.D. is back.

The charges have played three great games in a row. You know, they beat everybody. Kansas
