as part of Empire Media. I'm going to give you, and that's, by the way, that's A-M-P-I-R-E.

I think you know that by now. Anyway, I'm going to get to my keys and prediction in a minute. And also, I'm going to be joined by ESPN's Michael

Rossing, covers the Falcons. And because this game is a big game, I wanted to bring Michael on

to talk about how the Falcons are doing. Why are they five and six? And Michael have all

the answer for you on their defense, what it means to not have Kyle Pitts, why Grady Jarrett is playing so well,

what he adds to that, what he continues to add to that defense and why the running game

works so well. And that's obviously going to be a point of emphasis for Washington. So stick

around from Mike. You give you some great insight on that. Be ready because this is a big game.

And while the Falcons are five or six they

both teams could easily be six and six after this game so pay attention to what mike has to say

anyway before i get to my keys of predictions i did want to go over a couple news and notes from

friday about injuries number one linebacker cole holcomb was placed on reserve. He's got that foot

injury. They did not think this was going to be that long, but the foot just never got better.

He went and saw a specialist this week. He's on IR, so they're hoping that after that he could

come back in four weeks or so and help them down the stretch. Again, they did not think it was going to be

this long. The other part is, corner Benjamin St. Jus, he is not going to play on Sunday because

of the ankle injury. He suffered against Houston. That's a big one. And this goes back to the number one,

that one of the top things that my concerns for this defense going in the season was corner depth.
