I wonder how honest, in an honest moment, how the rest of the locker room feels about this, because I would be concerned, but I guess they're also in desperation mode.

I look at a bunch of these teams right now and a lot of them have similar records but feel very differently.

I'm guessing the Colts who have a pretty strong record.

Their fan base and their team probably feels pretty terrible because now they're so desperate that I think honestly some of those players are probably pretty excited to have Phillip Rivers there no matter how old he is because it represents like some level of hope that I

I don't know that they had a couple weeks ago or a week ago.

And even with Daniel Jones, before he got hurt, they were headed in the wrong direction.

So it probably does represent a spark of hope that I think we all hope isn't extinguished immediately upon Phillip Rivers taking the first snap and having enormous men trying to kill him.

I think you could argue that it's more important if you only had a half step to hold on to that half step.

I think that there are so many other things in the game that you can rely on if you had a bunch of traits that were beneficial.

You could find one of those other traits to rely on.

I think Phillip Rivers' ability to read defenses.

Honestly, I think the thing that Phillip Rivers had that was special was

was not only his size, but that fire and intensity, which is hard to measure.

And I don't know how that translates now if your body can't do the same things that it once did.

And so I think the accuracy is probably going to be a little bit off.

The speed is going to be a little bit off.

And we don't pay as much attention to the speed of evolution of defenses as we do offenses because defense is a little bit more complicated.

It's not on a screen.

It's not as exciting.

But the defenses that Phillip Rivers is going to face now,
