From the episode

I think Mendoza is going to play way sooner rather than later because I've seen Kirk Cousins play.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Mendoza is expected to start sooner than the team's current Kirk Cousins plan suggests.

The source expects Fernando Mendoza to play sooner rather than later, dismissing the idea that Kirk Cousins will hold the starting job for three-quarters of the season. The source is eager to see his debut, specifically noting his ability to handle under-center snaps, which is a transition from his college experience.
