Baldi. Good morning. Good morning to you guys. How are you?

We are doing well.

I want your input on what did you think of Marcus Mario to taking over for Jaden Daniels last week?

Jaden Daniels' health status in question again this week.

If you are running the commanders, do you trot out Jaden Daniels if he's not 100% or do you lean more into Marcus Marriota in week more?

You know, I mean, his college coach is up in a booth for the Raiders

call him plays, and Chip must have been looking at it going,

You know, they've been in the ball really, really well. They ran for over 200 yards. They did it in a variety of ways. But, you know, he got everybody lined up, and I thought he executed everything really good. a couple throws that he had to make, you know, that were really substantial.

I thought he made everything really good. A couple throws that he had to make,
