30 Minutes before the ATL Kick-Off

Enter Jon Gruden with Jeff Garcia in tow.

Jon Gruden: Okay Jeff, your calf's feeling good?

Jeff Garcia: Yeah Jon, that 90-play walk through loosened it up and I think I'm ready to go.

Jon Gruden: Good, good, we're going to need your mobility.

Jeff Garcia: No problem Jon, I'm ready to go.

Enter Luke McCown with his family behind him.

Luke McCown: Hey, Jeff, how are you feeling?

Jeff Garcia: Pretty good, Luke, looks like I'm going to be able to go this one.

Luke McCown: Alright, Jeff, let me know if I need to start warming up. Coach, I'm ready to come in if needed.

Jon Gruden: Good, good, you've taken all the first-team reps this week so you should be well prepared for this game.

Enter Brian Griese with his arm in a sling.

Jon Gruden: Hey, Brian, how are you feeling? Can I massage your feet for you?

Brian Griese: Uh...I'm good, Jon, my arm's still a bit sore but I'm just keeping it in this sling for pre-cautions.

Jeff Garcia: I'll go get my helmet.

Jon Gruden: Wait a minute, not so fast there Jeff. I see a gimp in your walk.

Jeff Garcia: Jon, I'm walking just fine.

Jon Gruden: NO. THERE IS A GIMP.

Jeff Garcia: What the hell. Okay.

Jon Gruden: Luke, you're in.

Luke McCown addresses his family.

Luke McCown: Did you hear that guys? I'm going to play again.

Jon Gruden: SIKE. Brian, you're in.

Yoda: Say what he?

Brian: Uh...Jon, are you sure about this? I can't really throw yet...

Jon Gruden: I'm just going fifth-level on them Brian. Mike Smith thinks that since Luke took all the first-team reps but Jeff went through the walk-through that there's no way that Jeff is going to play so he thinks I'm starting Luke but that there's no way Jeff would go through all the walk-throughs without playing so it's all really a ploy and Jeff's playing and I'd never start you because you haven't practiced in two months. So I'm starting YOU!

Monte Kiffen watches from his desk and takes out a calendar. He marks another tally off under his countdown: Days until Tennessee
