WEBVTT - Playing as one: HC Dan Quinn previews the Bears vs. Commanders | The Gameplan | Washington Commanders

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Logan. The command is are back at home for another matchup.

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>This one is against the Chicago Bears. We see it's

0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:09.520
<v Speaker 1>off to head coaches Dad Quinn about our matchups today,

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>and then we end the show with our ticket to

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>a win. That is key matchups against the Chicago Bears.

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 1>All that war starts right now on the game plan.

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Commander is family welcoming in head coach Dan Quinn. Now,

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the story of today is will Jayden play? We do

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 1>not know the answer to that. However, Marcus Marriold has

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:33.199
<v Speaker 1>stepped in in a big way. How great was it

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>to see him step up and rally this team.

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 2>There's two qualities that both Jaden and Marcus have and

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:43.840
<v Speaker 2>I admire it and both of them. It's confidence and humility,

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 2>and they have this really good blend of both. And

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 2>the confidence comes from performing and doing well and knowing

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 2>that you put the work in to do that. The

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 2>humility is what you see from the joy on the

0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 2>sideline about Marcus making plays and the sideline erupting when

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>he had that. So there's this great balance between the

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>two of them that have confidence and their ability and

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 2>the way they lead the team and execute the offense.

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.839
<v Speaker 2>But there's also this humility that they have for their teammates,

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.119
<v Speaker 2>for the game, for the position, and it's this great

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 2>balance that they both have and it's something that like

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 2>I admire about both of them so much. The sideline

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 2>erupted for Marcus. They care about them, they love them

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 2>because of all the things that he does that no

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 2>one else sees. After practice, in a two minute on

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 2>a Friday afternoon, when everybody's talking to media, he's working

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>down a two minute drill you know, with some guys

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>just just in case, and so when your numbers called

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 2>and you're ready and you deliver, it's really really powerful.

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:43.320
<v Speaker 2>And man, he delivered.

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 3>That's going to be so special for him, you know,

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 3>like kind of all the hard work he's put in

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 3>and like not everybody loves the backup quarterback all the time,

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, but like to see I mean that sideline

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 3>was electric when he threw that touchdown his zac. It

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 3>just kind of speak to again, like some of the

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 3>stuff you talked about, just how everybody loves them and

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 3>have a team that's like rooting for each other that way.

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, we've talked about Cleveland Farrell before support and

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 3>not like it's just cool that there's so many guys

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 3>like that on this team.

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and he's a fantastic teammate, Logan, you would have

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 2>loved to have played with Marcus. And that actual two

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 2>minute we did one on Friday afternoon, Like he didn't

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 2>think he was going in the game, but they actually

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 2>did a two minute and here it was at the

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.360
<v Speaker 2>end of the first half. You know, two six to

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 2>go and you know ninety six yards away. All right,

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 2>there's a first down. All right, let's get going, and

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 2>then again again moving down the field. And so to

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 2>get a score to Zach like that was a really

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 2>big moment. It was I didn't necessarily impact the game

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 2>all the way. It was important to show this is

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>how we get down and we attack, and Marcus is

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>always ready for that.

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 1>And coach, let's turn the pace to today. We are

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 1>taking on the Chicago Bears. Let's start at an offensive line.

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Dave and Roland they looked really, really good. How do

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.679
<v Speaker 1>you get them ready for a tough matchup against the

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Chicago Bears.

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's one of the best parts about the NFL,

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.080
<v Speaker 2>the different matchups, the schemes. How does it change week

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 2>to week? And it's why having the whole week to

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>go through the process to get ready. What does this

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 2>look mean? What does that look mean? Is their tails

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 2>and so these guys dig in so hard. Brian to

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:14.119
<v Speaker 2>the tape the communication on the sideline. If I could

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 2>have had you down there next to me to see

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 2>the communication going on between Wiley and Cosme and game,

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>this look happens, He's over to here, We'll go to this.

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 2>And so it's always adjusting and it's always tweaking. And

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.119
<v Speaker 2>that's what I love about the line that like they're physical,

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:33.239
<v Speaker 2>they're playing as one, they're communicating well, and they love

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 2>getting this chance to run the ball. Hey guys do

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 2>so you know you saw Cosm coming out and man

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 2>more more he was excited.

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 3>That's awesome. And then you know the part of them

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 3>like playing well as Cliff and how he's called games.

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 3>And I know you've coached defensive line for a long time,

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 3>and is there anything that you're like, Man, this coordinator

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 3>does this thing really well that really is disruptive to

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 3>the defensive line. I think fans sometimes, oh it's you know,

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 3>the offensive line's got to win one on once. But

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 3>there's some tricks there. And I was wonder if you

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 3>can kind of peel back the veil on.

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>That for sure, And for me, it always starts with balance.

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 2>When a team has balance and run game and play

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>passes and then drop backs and now a defensive lineman

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 2>they're not quite sure what look is how they can

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 2>get to go. Then misdirection plays and all the things

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 2>that can slow you down, and anything that can slow

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 2>a pass rusher down is a good thing because they

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 2>want to go and they want to like have a

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, this is my man, I'm going to go

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 2>beat him. And so then now here comes a chip,

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 2>and here comes a pull, and here's a guard coming

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 2>into it. And those are the things that can slow

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 2>down a real pass rusher, and those are some of

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 2>the things that our team does well.

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:42.919
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about those guys that ship Zach erth right,

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk about Zacher's little We had a big

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>game Sunday. How do you expect him to impact this

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 1>game today?

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 2>He really has a knack in some of the specific situations.

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 2>He has a very good understanding for third down and

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>where's a zone or where's a leverage from Manda Man

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 2>red zone is a another spot you know for Zach,

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 2>he knows where a hole might be, he studies it.

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, he knows a leverage and he's friendly for

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback. And then the last piece for him is

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.160
<v Speaker 2>third down and knowing a certain route or a certain

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, leverage that can win. Those are to me

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 2>the areas that he really makes his impact the third down,

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 2>the two minute, and the red zone. And that comes

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.479
<v Speaker 2>with experience and he's been in all of the big

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 2>fights and knows how to get open. He knows how

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 2>to work, you know, see his own where to sit down.

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:30.600
<v Speaker 2>It's a man a man how to break off a leverage.

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:32.919
<v Speaker 2>He is very accomplished in that and he's able to

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 2>carry that into the game.

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 3>And it just you mentioned like his experience and it

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 3>just seems like he's able to connect kind of with

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 3>every quarterback no matter what. You know, Like Jaden's in

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 3>awesome connection, Mariota comes in same thing you think about

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 3>when he's in Arizona, wherever he's at before, Like, is

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 3>that is that because he's so good at some of

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 3>those things you're talking about, or is that because he's

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 3>just really good at building those relationships with the quarterback.

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's very intentional about both okay and building the relationship.

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 2>What did you see there? You know where we need

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:04.719
<v Speaker 2>to be, So he asks, you know, the quarterback specific questions,

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>but because of the experience, he also knows, Okay, this

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 2>is likely coming to me right here, I get to

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 2>this spot. So a combination of both. But he has

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>been really important for our office.

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.159
<v Speaker 3>And does he ever kind of like tell the quarterback

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 3>like this is maybe like this is how I see it,

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 3>and like the quarterbacks oh yeah, like I didn't even

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 3>think about that because of the level of experience, absolutely.

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 2>And showing it looking back on the iPad at practice,

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 2>discussing it, and so he is just very intentional about

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 2>being in the right spot. And as a quarterback, you

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 2>want someone to be at the right location at the

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 2>right time, at the right depth because so often you

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 2>have to throw it before the receiver even makes it

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:48.480
<v Speaker 2>out of his route and they may not be open

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 2>at that time. So you have to have a lot

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>of trust that the receiver, the tight end the back

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 2>is going to be where he's supposed to be. So

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 2>that's how it should always be. Somebody's hitting you, trying

0:06:59.120 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 2>to move you off that mare.

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 3>That's a good fun you know, like they're not just

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.839
<v Speaker 3>running straight Yeah, there's.

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Not a bigger game where no one hits you like

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>you absolutely could get hit here, and so being able

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 2>to be in the right spot at the right location,

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of trust that goes with that, and

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine Zach's earned that trust with a lot

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 2>of quarterbacks.

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>And our defense teams to have earned your guys just

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>trust as well. What has been the message to them

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>to keep that momentum going this.

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Sunday, Really we were pleased to see the two takeaways.

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 2>That is something that has to be part of how

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 2>we play defense. It's so important to make sure we

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 2>can be responsible for getting the team into the plus.

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, you want to win the turnover margin. Well,

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 2>to win the margin, you have to get turnovers. You

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 2>have to get them, and so that is a big

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>piece for it. So scoring on defense that's even bigger.

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.559
<v Speaker 2>But creating field position opportunities for the offense another drive

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 2>another scenario. Those are big deals. So tackling always a

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 2>number one top of the pile. I'm hoping that you

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 2>and our f everybody's seeing the effort, you know, to

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 2>say can they finish, can they go?

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>And then that the.

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Last piece is getting that ball and getting a few

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 2>knocked out, getting a few interceptions, so we can give

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 2>the offense you know they're shots at that.

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Absolutely, And it's something that jumped out on the film,

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 3>is like just how fast the guys are playing. And

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 3>some of that comes to like game plan and you know,

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 3>sometimes you got to pull back, sometimes you got to

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.680
<v Speaker 3>add stuff in. How do you walk that line coming

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 3>into a game like this.

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 2>I think the first thing you look at is, you know,

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 2>going through the practice, what type of errors I see?

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Are their errors? And if it is out it comes

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 2>I can remember.

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 3>Do you do it right away or is it like, hey,

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 3>this guy messed up one time, let's give him a

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 3>second shot.

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 2>You give him a second one. If it gets towards

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 2>the end of the week and it's still not clear,

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 2>I can clearly remember. And a practice a player said, hey,

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 2>we need to run that one again. This was on

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 2>a Friday asset. Now we don't no more time. It's like,

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 2>what do you mean, No, I messed it up? I

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 2>need to goad. It's all good man, Like it's out

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 2>for the game, you know, like we'll work it again

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 2>next week. And so sometimes you put something in and

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 2>it takes a while to get reps at it and

0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.280
<v Speaker 2>know because oftentimes you may see a blitz that a

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.319
<v Speaker 2>team did against another team that looks good, Well, what

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 2>do it look like against empty? Or what about their

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.320
<v Speaker 2>emotion or what if they put something? So sometimes it

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 2>just takes a few weeks to marinate if you are

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 2>going to try something new, and people are always you know,

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 2>working through things to get it just right, and I

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 2>call it game ready. And when something's game ready, you

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 2>know you've executed it. You know it and you can

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 2>go deliver.

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 1>And the Bears offensively have a ton of firepower. How

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>do you game plan for a team that poses challenges

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>like this with all their weapons.

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they've got a full arsenal of people from you know,

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 2>receivers and tight ends and running backs and quarterbacks. So

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:43.080
<v Speaker 2>you have to look at the scheme first and say, okay,

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 2>what do they do best? And then find how do

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.440
<v Speaker 2>they feature the players doing those things? And then you know,

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 2>what can we do to make sure those things they

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 2>do best aren't easy access? And so we try to

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 2>make them play a little bit left handed and say

0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>that one thing that you do really well not today,

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.439
<v Speaker 2>And so we can make sure we can try to

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.200
<v Speaker 2>take that part away matchups. Everybody has a hard down sometimes,

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, when you have weapons like that and you're

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.559
<v Speaker 2>playing people, you know, no one gets hey you can

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 2>You're good, you know you can take this one off.

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 2>No everybody has hard downs, whether you're blocking, playing defense,

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 2>all of it. And so winning those matchups is really important.

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 3>Buddy said that because everyone's like, oh, you got to

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 3>take this person away. But you can't take everything the

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:25.679
<v Speaker 3>offense does away all the time, right you got to

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.360
<v Speaker 3>kind of say, like, what are the things we are

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 3>we're prioritizing taken away and what are we kind of

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 3>okay with? And I'm sure that is really tough to

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 3>do on all.

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Because you have to be willing. It's a give and take,

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, and say, if you're willing to go, you

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 2>know and all out blitz, you should be able for this.

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 2>But you want a pressure. That's one way to do it.

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.959
<v Speaker 2>Bring more than they can block. However, there's risk go

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 2>associated with that. So it's the fun part of coaching

0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.839
<v Speaker 2>and where's the balance? What can you do? How do

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 2>you match up? And every game is different and I love.

0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>That about the NFL And We'll be going to Gains

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>working quarterback and Caleb Williams. How do you game plan

0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>for a workie quarterback with that type of skill set.

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 2>It's the mobility, you know, extending plays and I know

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 2>guy that does that a lot of practice too, So

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:17.679
<v Speaker 2>so it's it's unique because one play may start and

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 2>then a second play can begin. It doesn't happen all

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 2>the time, but big plays are often generated when a

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 2>quarterback can get outside the pocket and now the coverage

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 2>can change and it turns in demand a man and

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 2>so those are big deals to go. But you know, clearly,

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 2>you know their their quarterback. Kleeb's really talented guy. You know,

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 2>the mental quickness, the ability to process and put the

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 2>ball on the right location, the arm strength, the athleticism.

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.200
<v Speaker 2>That's what playing at the highest level is. And so

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.680
<v Speaker 2>it's awesome. You know, they's say like this is a

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.200
<v Speaker 2>really good competitor. You know a lot of skills and

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.440
<v Speaker 2>like let's go battle and.

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Course before we go home game back to back home game.

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.560
<v Speaker 1>First one, talk about that energy that the fans bring

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.960
<v Speaker 1>because we really have that home field advantage. Now, how

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 1>great is that?

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's the best and I feel it on third down,

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel it in two minutes on the defensive side

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 2>because there's this energy that can take over. And when

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 2>the place is absolutely lit up and you want to

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.040
<v Speaker 2>bring everything you have because this could be the play.

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to change the protection. It's hard to change

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.079
<v Speaker 2>the play for the offense. So the louder the better,

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:27.439
<v Speaker 2>and we need every single person there bringing all they have. Man,

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.199
<v Speaker 2>I want this thing to be absolutely rocking. So when

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 2>our defense gets that third down and first third down

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.320
<v Speaker 2>or eight third down, whatever it is, to say this

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 2>is the one fall, start and play. Because our crowd

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.680
<v Speaker 2>is so into it, it just makes it hard to

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 2>concentrate and focus.

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Commands, family, we know you are enjoying the game plan. However,

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 1>if you want to see coach and logan Paul said

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.319
<v Speaker 1>breakdown plays in the film room, you could check that

0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 1>out on the Commander's YouTube page. So, Logan, our ticket

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 1>to win are these must watch masses. So let's get

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:08.679
<v Speaker 1>right into it.

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 3>First up, the defensive line for Chicago versus the offensive

0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:14.679
<v Speaker 3>line for the Washington Commanders. And this is going to

0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 3>be maybe the most impactful one because this group for

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 3>the Shago Bears is playing good football right now and

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 3>they're supported by a really good secondary. But these guys

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.199
<v Speaker 3>are playing so well. And it's not only them, it's

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.640
<v Speaker 3>the way Cliff's call in games. He's elevating them with

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.839
<v Speaker 3>the different styles of protections and they're just a bunch

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 3>of junkyard dogs and I love that about them. So

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 3>this is going to be something that's really going to

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 3>have a big impact on this game.

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>This is something we've talked about a lot, the weapons

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:36.199
<v Speaker 1>versus our secondary.

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's so many different weapons and you know Dan

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:39.520
<v Speaker 3>and it is an the interview we did with them

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.199
<v Speaker 3>talking about how you can't take everything away, but you

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 3>can take some stuff away. And I think a lot

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 3>is going to be on the secondary and a lot

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 3>on Joe Wid Junior in terms of how to disguise

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.679
<v Speaker 3>the coverages to make it harder for these guys to

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 3>know exactly what coverage is, where the soft spots are

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.320
<v Speaker 3>on the zone. These guys are super talented, but I

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.400
<v Speaker 3>think Joe Wid Junior's got some tricks up a sleep

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 3>and Foresight logo. Oh my gosh, it's almost like we

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.319
<v Speaker 3>know this is going to be up there. So yeah,

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Joe Who Junior and Caleb well, I mean, this is

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 3>the story of the week, right Caleb Williams and his

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:06.959
<v Speaker 3>maturation of the last couple weeks of the season. He's

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 3>just getting better and better about playing on schedule at

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 3>on time. I look at the way the defense is playing,

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 3>specifically in the Carolina game, and I'm like, Joe Wi

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:14.839
<v Speaker 3>Junior is starting to get these guys bought in. They're

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 3>playing fast, they're playing physical. It's awesome to see. But

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 3>what schematically can he do to disrupt this young football player.

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait to check it out.

0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Command Is Families, these are our ticket to a win now.

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>We want to get this double against a Icago Bears today.

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 1>For head coach dan Quinn, Logan Paulson, and Brian Colbert,

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>this is the game plan. We will see you next Sunday.

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Commander's Family. You could catch us every Sunday on WSA

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>nine Sunday mornings before year games. This is game plan

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 1>with Brian Colvid Junior, Logan Paulson, head coach Dan Quinn

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 1>until next Sunday. Commanders Family. Yeah,
