Obviously, I've stuff up from all week about Jane Daniels and the elbow and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

But also today had something up there on Bobby Wagner getting his MBA degree from Howard.

He walks in graduation in May, but he did complete the course last week. So good for him. Listen, I know the trouble is on the field, but this is a good accomplishment for somebody. He's doing things right. And it's funny because a lot of times you hear like, you guys need to show them, you know, you treat them like they're human or whatever. And first of all, we do. But secondly, here's a chance to do that. And it's funny because I tweet this out about him getting the NBA and the first two comments under there are calling them selfish for playing still and just ripping on his play. This is a good accomplishment, folks. And so whether or not you like what he's done in the field, I mean, he is still someone who's a leader here, et cetera.

And I think there's still, there was still a benefit to him here this year. Clearly the coverage was something that didn't go right for both linebackers. So anyways, but this is a good accomplishment.

So the story is up. Do with it with you please. All right. Some injury updates before I get to my five

thoughts for the game. Starting with Larry Metunzel, he's out with an oblique injury. Eddie Goldman's out, Colson Yankoff's out. So, and obviously, Jane Dowell is out too. So that's where we're at with those guys. Chris Rodriguez will play. Drake Jackson will play. I'm going to talk about him in a minute. So number one of my five thoughts. Let's start with Laramie Muntzel and Brandon Coleman. So obviously, Tunsell has been a very good player here, but it is a night. It's good to see Coleman get another chance to show what he can do. And I felt like he did well in the Giants game, but let's first start with Tunsel. And you know, you kind of revisit

that trade. Because when you watch how Coleman played last week, he did a nice job against the Giants coming in. Hasn't been out there in a lot. Well, he's been out there as a third tackle. So it's not like he's coming in cold, but it's first time playing heavy minutes at left tackle. You're the guy there not in the three tackle set but in the two tackle set et cetera so but you so you kind of like okay

you revisit a trade a little bit minutes at left tackle. You're the guy there, not in a three tackle set, but in the two tackle set,

etc. So, but you, so you're kind of like, okay, you revisit that trade a little bit with Tunsel. The thing is, Tunso has played at a really high level this year. So they lost a net of three picks, but this guy has been everything they could have hoped for. And, you know, they've got to signed to an extension. You've got to get it done long before

you got Terry done this year. And again, I know both sides of the blame, et cetera. Bottom line is,
