Welcome back to the Minickems show, the only NFL podcast.

0:08.5

One of the hosts pronounces it Micah Pa, since that's Lenny Pa.

0:13.2

I'm Minicimes.

0:14.7

Joining us for the first time in like two months before he was playing cover one. Now he's playing cover two. Ben Solac tried a different joke. I just want to make you laugh. You got two kids now. Welcome back to the show. Thanks. Yeah, no. It's the classic one that all like the football guys went for is like, oh, you were double coverage. Now it's man to man. Like, oh, you know, no safety help anymore. Okay, two parents, two kids. Math is fun. But yeah, you got to make, you got to make football references to married life. You got outkick your coverage. You got to play coverages against kids. It's the only way we can talk about these things. I think I revealed to the world that I was having a boy when Scott Van Pelt responded to my baby announcement

0:56.1

by saying something about playing Zoe and I said, no, I'm playing man because I was having a boy.

1:03.4

Yes, it is true. Ben Solac has returned. He's back at work. He has been bursting with takes.

1:10.6

It's been texting me some of those takes.

1:12.6

Hilariously, you're back on a week. The Eagles are on the bye because I've been dying to talk to you about the Eagles. Obviously, we will find out to... I heard you realize that live with Dominique on the recap show. You were like, I can't bring up the Eagles next week. I was like, yeah. So I got into a little bit.

1:25.1

The Eagles are so funny too because I do this

1:27.0

All-Filly podcast with Bo, who's your friend.

1:31.3

And... I got into a little bit. The Eagles are so funny, too, because I do this all-filly podcast with Bo, who's your friend. And it's like, because it's every other week, it feels like we're talking about a completely different football team every time this year. Like, the vibes is just such a roller coaster. But anyways, we're going to talk about every game, as we always do. We're going to preview them. We're going to pick them. Some of them we're going to discuss at more length than others. I actually probably should have given more, given us both sides of this because it is a big game. But I'm taking Thursday night football. I lied last week. I said Lamar Jackson would be back. It was even the title of my preview pod. But you know what? We can't trust the

2:02.3

TV these days. Not my fault. I blame the Ravens for, well, they're dealing with the repercussions

2:08.5

of that. They really made it seem like he was going to play. But he's definitely going to play.

2:13.9

And it is actually a big deal for a line of reasons that Dominique and I got into, which is the Ravens are still in it, man. They're back from the dead. They're two and five. Schedule is very easy. The Steelers have dropped a couple. And this is obviously a very, obviously a very winnable game. Now versus a dolphins team that is coming off a big win of

2:34.9

their own but many of these dolphins you might by the time you listen to this bradley tub or jalen

2:39.6

phillips might be on different i mean they're definitely one of the teams being earmarked for

2:44.3

trades so i would do my best to not i guess base my entire analysis on the availability of those

2:50.0

guys but um i'm going to focus on

2:52.2

Lamar Jackson here because Lamar Jackson is back. And he says he's really healthy. He's

2:56.3

excited to play. And I tried to put myself in the mindset of what it looked like before he got

3:01.4

hurt. And there was some, there was a lot of issues on defense. Dominique, I talked about whether

3:05.3

or not those are solved. Ravens might be an
