Speaker 1: On this edition of The Booth Review. Another one, London,
Speaker 1: another one that comes down to the wire.
Speaker 2: Well, we know Jaydon Dan is gonna win the Offensive
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year, but why is he not in
Speaker 2: the MVP conversation. It's a good question.
Speaker 1: And how about this team getting eleven wins for the
Speaker 1: first time since nineteen ninety one?
Speaker 2: We got a guy who hit a jackpie, a try
Speaker 2: efected challenge for Big Fletcher's heavyweight championship belt.
Speaker 1: All that coming up on The Booth Review next. Welcome
Speaker 1: into the playoff clitching edition of the Booth Review podcast.
Speaker 1: Like Braham Whitside with Big Fletch London Fletcher. We're brought
Speaker 1: to you by Microsoft Surface powering a better game. Here
Speaker 1: we go the playoffs. You called it in the summer,
Speaker 1: eleven maybe twelve wins, will see here we are.
Speaker 2: It's reality is funny because a lot of people thought
Speaker 2: I was being a homer and maybe thought I was
Speaker 2: drinking a little bit of the Ashburn kool a.
Speaker 1: You were.
Speaker 2: But that's the thing, right, well anymore right. Here's the
Speaker 2: thing though, when you look at and I looked at
Speaker 2: obviously the moves that we made, having dan Quinn's the quarterback.
Speaker 2: I mean, as the new head coach, getting Jayden and
Speaker 2: just looking at the schedule, like, Okay, I really think
Speaker 2: we're gonna win this game. This game felt like we
Speaker 2: were split with the egos, feel like we would split
Speaker 2: with the Cowboys. I thought we went here and you know,
Speaker 2: obviously you'll probably lose down there. But let's flip that
Speaker 2: and get to twelve. But it's just has it been
Speaker 2: the way we've done it to get to this point. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's been surprising, you know, all the last minute victories,
Speaker 2: to come from behind wins. Even yesterday. First half didn't
Speaker 2: look good, didn't look good at all, but second half
Speaker 2: entirely different ball club. And and we can we can't
Speaker 2: say enough about Jayden and what he was able to do,
Speaker 2: especially in the second half of that game.
Speaker 1: I want to get to him. I want to stay
Speaker 1: on the big picture just for a moment, and I
Speaker 1: want to get into the game too. There's a very
Speaker 1: special moment for the organization. Oh yeah, you know, it's
Speaker 1: been four years since they've been in the playoffs. They
Speaker 1: haven't been a wildcard team since two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: so they had to win the division just to get in,
Speaker 1: which shows you. There hasn't been much consistency. They're not
Speaker 1: consistently there. Even in a year where someone else might
Speaker 1: be a little bit better than you. You get in anyway,
Speaker 1: like the Kansas City Buffalo of Baltimore of this era
Speaker 1: right now, Philadelphia too, they get in every year. And
Speaker 1: I do feel like we're at the beginning of something
Speaker 1: and it's hard not to. And I know dan Quinn
Speaker 1: and them don't want to get into award season yet,
Speaker 1: and I know that they don't want to hear all
Speaker 1: the accolades for it yet because their story isn't done
Speaker 1: being written. So I want to spend a few minutes
Speaker 1: doing it now and then getting back into the mind
Speaker 1: frame of where they want to be, because this is
Speaker 1: very special. This team has not won eleven games since
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one. This team has never in this building
Speaker 1: won seven home games, and they did it in year
Speaker 1: one together, and it's hard not to. It's hard to
Speaker 1: ignore that. Put your head in the sand and go Okay,
Speaker 1: what's next. I do want to sip a little champagne.
Speaker 2: Yes today, yeah, when you you kept you mentioned that
Speaker 2: on the on the broadcast a couple of times about
Speaker 2: having done this since nineteen ninety one, and it was
Speaker 2: a I think two or three maybe two or three
Speaker 2: different things that you mentioned. It's like, dang, since nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety one and we all know how that season and
Speaker 2: not only how that season ended, that team is considered
Speaker 2: one of the best teams in NFL history, Like it's
Speaker 2: a historical type of team. But the when some people
Speaker 2: called it the rebuilt the team, they Adam Peters and
Speaker 2: Dan Quinn called it a recalibration. And when you accomplished that,
Speaker 2: and with they what's seventy percent of new roster, sixty
Speaker 2: percent whatever of the thirty first players, Yeah, from the
Speaker 2: roster standpoint, to do this all in year one with
Speaker 2: the rookie, the whole field you mentioned seven to two
Speaker 2: our fans have been there and it droves Man, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've got to chance. Well, we
Speaker 2: walked through the concourse pregame, you had a chance. What
Speaker 2: were you thinking that when you walked through that concourse
Speaker 2: yesterday pre game?
Speaker 1: I haven't had an RFK feeling in that building for
Speaker 1: a very long time. I think there was a little
Speaker 1: bit of the RG three year where there was this
Speaker 1: oh man, there's like there's kind of been anything's possible
Speaker 1: because the quarterbacks ceiling is so high, right, and we
Speaker 1: haven't had that in a long time. But just kind
Speaker 1: of the feeling of the fan base, it never went anywhere.
Speaker 1: It's just been semi dormant in the building. But they
Speaker 1: haven't had anything consistent to cheer for in a long time.
Speaker 1: And I talk about this all the time, having grown
Speaker 1: up here and having been fortunate to have tickets to
Speaker 1: RFK when I was a kid during the heyday when
Speaker 1: they were one of the best teams, if not the
Speaker 1: best team in football. For ten years running, they're the
Speaker 1: heartbeat of the city and what people don't know and
Speaker 1: a generation of fans don't know, is what happens when
Speaker 1: they win consistently, and last night was like a sign
Speaker 1: of it's heading back in this direction, which is why
Speaker 1: I think I don't want to lose sight of the
Speaker 1: big picture. We'll get into the nitty gritty of the
Speaker 1: game and what they did and another miracle, you know,
Speaker 1: because this has been a joy ride like I've never
Speaker 1: been a part of. Every week is a heart attack,
Speaker 1: but just the overarching I think we're at the beginning
Speaker 1: of something. This isn't a one off. You know that,
Speaker 1: like we're heading back into this space where we could
Speaker 1: join the Buffalo, Kansas City, Baltimore, Philadelphia, the teams you
Speaker 1: can count on to be very competitive and vy for
Speaker 1: championships every year. We're at the beginning of something like that.
Speaker 2: No, you're one hundred percent round, and that's what that's
Speaker 2: what we all want. We want perennial contender yes, year
Speaker 2: in and year out, like competing for or you're one
Speaker 2: of the upper echeline teams in football, let's call it
Speaker 2: the top five or six teams where every year, every season,
Speaker 2: these five or six teams are going to be in
Speaker 2: the mix. They're gonna make the playoffs and you know
Speaker 2: they have a great chance to represent their their conference
Speaker 2: in the super Bowl. And that's that's where we want
Speaker 2: to get to. That's where I feel like we're building to.
Speaker 2: I saw, you know, mister Harris last night as he was.
Speaker 2: You saw him too, yeah, you were. You saw his
Speaker 2: his happiness, happy birthday, happy birthday. He celebrated his sixtyeth
Speaker 2: birthday on Saturday. I mean just the ownership group and
Speaker 2: the joy, the joy that they had. And this is
Speaker 2: you know, a guy who owns multiple sports teams and
Speaker 2: you know. But you could tell like he carries special
Speaker 2: to him. This is special to he what.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. He also grew up here too and
Speaker 1: lived it down the street, went to RFK, you know.
Speaker 1: So he emotionally connects with this team and this franchise
Speaker 1: in a way that if you're not from here, you
Speaker 1: don't understand, like what they mean. They can be the
Speaker 1: heartbeat of the city, they can be the soul of
Speaker 1: the city. They can be a religious experience, which they've
Speaker 1: been numerous times this year. We've had out of body
Speaker 1: experiences with them over and over and over this year.
Speaker 1: And you could see it on his face. He's not
Speaker 1: just an owner of the team. He genuinely cares deeply
Speaker 1: about the results and what it's going to be.
Speaker 2: Just see how he was clutching that football and I'm
Speaker 2: assuming that game a game ball, maybe for his birthday
Speaker 2: or after the game, and I haven't seen the locker
Speaker 2: room video posted yet, but he's clutching that football like
Speaker 2: this is the best president he's ever gotten. And this is,
Speaker 2: you know, a billionaire. But the way he's walking around
Speaker 2: with that football, it's like he is so happy and
Speaker 2: lated that this team has made the playoffs and you
Speaker 2: could tell he's proud of he's proud of the product
Speaker 2: on that football.
Speaker 1: It's really interesting too, Like they've spent not only a
Speaker 1: lot of money to buy the team, obviously, they've poured
Speaker 1: a lot of money into the infrastructure and the resources
Speaker 1: of the team. They've given Adam Peters a very robust
Speaker 1: front office, they give dan Quinn a very deep coaching
Speaker 1: staff with ex head coaches Cliff Kingsbury, Anthony Lynn others.
Speaker 1: Like they're they're saying, what do you need? Look around
Speaker 1: this facility. I know a lot of fans you'll see
Speaker 1: during trading camp, but you won't see it at any
Speaker 1: other time. They've poured a lot of money into this
Speaker 1: facility to try to make it better, to give this
Speaker 1: team an environment to win. With Northwest Stadium, they've poured
Speaker 1: money into light shows, They've poured money into the infra stam.
Speaker 2: That's pretty dope.
Speaker 1: Yes, Like they've spent a ton of money for on behalf,
Speaker 1: not only just to win, but to welcome the fans
Speaker 1: back in and say you want to be part of
Speaker 1: this again. We want to build what it used to
Speaker 1: be in a modern way, but we want that feeling
Speaker 1: back for you, and at the beginning of the season
Speaker 1: when they had especially the Cincinnati game where we had
Speaker 1: the first like oh my god, is this real? What's
Speaker 1: going on? In those first four to six weeks, I
Speaker 1: felt good for us, and I'm speaking for the fans
Speaker 1: because we've been waiting just so long to have something
Speaker 1: like this start to happen. As this season has progressed,
Speaker 1: I have now turned to and this is why I'm
Speaker 1: going to get back to where I know dan Quinn
Speaker 1: wants us to be, which is, hey, don't give us
Speaker 1: award yet, Like it's not over. Like we're just getting
Speaker 1: started here and this season isn't over. I feel good
Speaker 1: for this team, like I am genuinely rooting for them
Speaker 1: to finish writing this story of this season.
Speaker 2: I felt good for us.
Speaker 1: Now it's turned into I want to see how far
Speaker 1: you guys can go, because what you've pulled off the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks specifically tells me that you're gonna
Speaker 1: be the hardest out in this league. So let's see
Speaker 1: what you're going to do. And we're riding with you
Speaker 1: now and we're back.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what their mantra is, anybody anywhere, anytime, Yes,
Speaker 2: that's that's it. So whether we're the sixth seed, seventh seed,
Speaker 2: who we play, I mean, anybody anywhere, anytime, they believe
Speaker 2: that they can beat whoever they're they're lined up against
Speaker 2: on game day. And it doesn't matter whether you're facing
Speaker 2: the number one seed in the in the playoffs, or
Speaker 2: you're facing the number four or five seed, whatever the
Speaker 2: case may be, or three seed, doesn't matter. There's a
Speaker 2: belief that is instilled in this team and it's it's
Speaker 2: call it indoctrination. This is this is what they believe in.
Speaker 2: This is their mantra. This is not just coach speak.
Speaker 2: This is what they believe in. And you can tell
Speaker 2: because you don't win the Chicago game, you don't win
Speaker 2: that Philly game having five turnovers, you don't win yesterday
Speaker 2: game the way we played in the second half without
Speaker 2: a great belief and what you're accomplishing, belief in each other,
Speaker 2: sacrificing that you talked about the brotherhood. Those moments don't happen.
Speaker 2: We're not sitting here with eleven victories with the potential
Speaker 2: to have a twelfth victory this weekend against the Dallas
Speaker 2: Cowboys without Dan Quinn and doctrinating that mantra and saying
Speaker 2: this is who we are. Believe it, that's what we're about.
Speaker 1: It really starts at Jaden. I know it's the whole team,
Speaker 1: and I want to credit the whole team, especially they
Speaker 1: fought through a ton of injury, especially in the offensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball. I say, which we can go through.
Speaker 1: But Jaden Daniels, this is the second week in a row.
Speaker 1: He's done extraordinary things. And we were in the locker
Speaker 1: room with him after the game, and I knew he
Speaker 1: wasn't going to answer this question, honestly, but like I
Speaker 1: had to ask it because it's been two weeks of it.
Speaker 1: At what point do you just go, I need to
Speaker 1: take over? Because he feels like it almost feels like
Speaker 1: at some point a basketball game where Lebron James, Kevin Durant, whoever,
Speaker 1: just need to take over. And he did, and he said,
Speaker 1: I don't want to force anything. Credited all his teammates.
Speaker 1: He's humble, He's got humility that's beyond belief and beyond
Speaker 1: his years. But we've been around, you've played it. Very
Speaker 1: few people do the things that he does regularly. And
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that whether it makes
Speaker 1: him uncomfortable or not, it's just the truth.
Speaker 2: It is and what he's probably feeling, like, yeah, he said,
Speaker 2: I don't want to force anything or saying I need
Speaker 2: to take over this game, or it may be just
Speaker 2: innate in him. I believe it's just in Nate, where okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is the play called, and I'm gonna go through
Speaker 2: my reads and make the right throw. But when the
Speaker 2: play breaks down, it just clicked, like all right, it's
Speaker 2: gold time. The the play he made to zach Ertz scramble,
Speaker 2: he's making play and then he hits urge for I
Speaker 2: think with a thirty nine yard pass or something like
Speaker 2: that to maybe twenty five. That right there, that uncounty
Speaker 2: ability to get out of the get out of the
Speaker 2: potential sack by time, but still keep his eyes down
Speaker 2: the field as a passer hit urts. There's other times
Speaker 2: where all right, I gotta get out and I gotta
Speaker 2: pick up a first down. I gotta get out, I
Speaker 2: gotta do some things and I potentially can get into
Speaker 2: the end zone. So it's just it isn't innate thing
Speaker 2: that takes over. I'm gonna play the play, the play call,
Speaker 2: look to do that, execute that first and then when
Speaker 2: it's not there, Superman wagh and five is now in
Speaker 2: the building. It just happens he is clearly the rookie
Speaker 2: of the year.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just not even that right, that's not Listen,
Speaker 1: no offense to bo Nicks.
Speaker 2: Or Bro's had a really good season.
Speaker 1: Brock Bauers broke the record for receptions for a rookie.
Speaker 1: So like, there are other candidates here, but come on, like,
Speaker 1: don't kid yourself. I gotta be honest with you. When
Speaker 1: when the fans started chaining MVP at the end of
Speaker 1: the game last night, Yeah, I'm for a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks running now have felt I don't know why he
Speaker 1: doesn't have a slice of this conversation. Who has had
Speaker 1: more clutch moments or means more to their team than
Speaker 1: him this year? And look, I'm not a fool. I
Speaker 1: know they're going to give it to Josh Allen or
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. But why he's not being discussed in this
Speaker 1: conversation at this point after what you've seen week after
Speaker 1: week after week, I don't know.
Speaker 2: So and you look at, uh, what the Ravens are.
Speaker 2: Are the Ravens at ten or eleven victories? They may
Speaker 2: the Ravens already eleven. I think the Bills are at.
Speaker 1: Twelve twelve and twelve thirteen, yeah, yeah, twelve and thirteen.
Speaker 2: Thirteen and three thirteen and three. And here we are
Speaker 2: those teams on paper, better roster. You know, those guys
Speaker 2: have been there on a consistent basis for him to
Speaker 2: do what he's done, and he's probably had to do
Speaker 2: more for his team than those other guys just because
Speaker 2: of like, hey, whether it's the throwing the football last
Speaker 2: week against the Eagles, all the different plays you make
Speaker 2: against the Saints, like you to do all kinds of
Speaker 2: things in that game for us to win that game.
Speaker 2: So he's he should garner some MVP votes. I don't
Speaker 2: know exactly if you only have to cast, it's either or,
Speaker 2: like you only whether you do a hey, first play,
Speaker 2: second place, third place, if that's how it goes. When
Speaker 2: it's vote is either Josh Allen, is Lamar Jackson or
Speaker 2: his you know, Saquan or Jayden down. So he deserves some.
Speaker 2: He deserves to be in that competit conversation.
Speaker 1: Last night, he rushed for over one hundred yards. Most
Speaker 1: of it's unscripted. You're right, he has these. He had
Speaker 1: that fourth and eleven run. A week ago, he throws
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass with six seconds left to Jamison Crowder.
Speaker 1: They score a touchdown, they don't give Atlanta the ball.
Speaker 1: In overtime, they score a touchdown walk down the field.
Speaker 1: That was a third and goalplay, So there was another
Speaker 1: clutch moment. Had to have it or they were gonna
Speaker 1: have to make a choice. Do you take the lead
Speaker 1: and give it Landa the ball or not? He scores
Speaker 1: a touchdown and you'll have to answer that question. That
Speaker 1: was the fifth time this year that he's thrown or
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown with either under thirty seconds left in
Speaker 1: a game or in overtime. You know who else has
Speaker 1: done that? Nobody?
Speaker 2: What are we.
Speaker 1: Talking about here? Yes, he just broke the single season
Speaker 1: rookie rush record of RG three last night. Every week
Speaker 1: we laugh about it. I read of stats that he
Speaker 1: has posted. He is having an unprecedented, historic and maybe
Speaker 1: I don't even know, arguably the best season any rookie
Speaker 1: quarterback has ever had. And they're eleven and five in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And I think if Mike Tarico and Chris
Speaker 1: collins Worth were at more of their games this year
Speaker 1: and more people saw this weekly. I don't even think
Speaker 1: this would be a discussion whether he would be in
Speaker 1: it or not. I don't think people know how good
Speaker 1: he's been week to week to week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that narrative has to be put out there
Speaker 2: more on a national level, it's and I don't even
Speaker 2: know how much is being discussed. I know you you've
Speaker 2: you've championed that cause for for the past several weeks.
Speaker 2: But even on a local level, are we putting it
Speaker 2: out there enough to it for it to garner the
Speaker 2: national attention and national recognition that it deserves to be said,
Speaker 2: because you know narratives. These these are voters. They look
Speaker 2: at this stuff. They it may even China. They're thinking, like,
Speaker 2: how many of these voters have actually sat down and
Speaker 2: watch watched several commander's games. You see, you're going to
Speaker 2: see mahomes all the time. Those guys are a lot
Speaker 2: bunch of national TV games, Josh Allen. They have you know,
Speaker 2: four or five or six national games every season. Those
Speaker 2: guys get that recognition. We've had what three national games
Speaker 2: this year? Well, what's exceptional? Last week? Thursday night and
Speaker 2: they put in the national window Monday night football game
Speaker 2: back in you know, early in September.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati, since what he had a heroic Superman moment in
Speaker 1: that one too.
Speaker 2: I'll play Joe Burrow, Yes, who's in the MVP category.
Speaker 1: Who everyone is saying Couldwood should be the MVP even
Speaker 1: if they don't make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: The narrative needs to be put out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just I want to think about last
Speaker 1: week for a moment, because I think this encapsulates the
Speaker 1: whole thing. What's odd is it's become somewhat normal if
Speaker 1: Allen or Mahomes or Lamar or Burrow are doing these things.
Speaker 1: People be going crazy about these plays and the stats
Speaker 1: they're posting in the things that they're doing. For some reason,
Speaker 1: it's somehow in his rookie year become commonplace for him
Speaker 1: to do it, which is odd in its own right.
Speaker 1: But think about last week for a moment. They came
Speaker 1: back after five turnovers, the Eagles had the ball for
Speaker 1: ten minutes in the third quarter, They punted twice. They
Speaker 1: still scored thirty six points. They still won. He still
Speaker 1: had a clutch a throw as you're going to have
Speaker 1: at the end of a game to win. And everyone
Speaker 1: talked about the week after all the excuses, the Eagles
Speaker 1: were making for losing instead of what was the comeback
Speaker 1: of the year against a Super Bowl contender that was
Speaker 1: engineered by a quarterback who's doing things very few can do.
Speaker 2: Now, you're spot on with that, and then again it
Speaker 2: needs to be put out there a lot more.
Speaker 1: He was terrific again last night. So was the team.
Speaker 1: And I want to go on the offense for a minute.
Speaker 1: Andrew Wiley didn't play. Cornelius Lucas got hurt in the game.
Speaker 1: They got down to a third right tackle Tyler Biattish,
Speaker 1: heartbeat of the offensive line, one of them hurt towards
Speaker 1: the end of the first half. Out didn't play the
Speaker 1: second half, and they ran the ball better in the
Speaker 1: second half than they did in the first half. It's
Speaker 1: it's truly remarkable.
Speaker 2: It really is. And you know the adjustments that were
Speaker 2: made at halftime and the we talked about this, and
Speaker 2: I talked to coach Quinn on the postgame interview about
Speaker 2: the adjustment that we made as an offense and the
Speaker 2: coaches made to play better offensive offensive football, get the
Speaker 2: run game going, the the asswers they had to the
Speaker 2: pressure looks that that the Falcons were given. Given the
Speaker 2: offense and given there were about five different adjustments that
Speaker 2: they made to those looks, and and then the second
Speaker 2: half just really really took advantage of that stuff. Well,
Speaker 2: I think that the big key, a big change was
Speaker 2: when in the first half there was a lot of
Speaker 2: hey giving the ball to the to the running backs,
Speaker 2: and not a whole lot of zone reads. But later on,
Speaker 2: Jade started keeping some of those. The only reason he's
Speaker 2: able to get going around the edge, and now that
Speaker 2: defensive end has to hold just for a second before there.
Speaker 2: They can't just crash down and and and crash down
Speaker 2: on the running back. Then I thought Chris Rodriguez gave
Speaker 2: us a big spark in the run game. He had
Speaker 2: some tough, physical runs in that ball game, and then he.
Speaker 1: Had two on that touchdown drive.
Speaker 2: Oh there was one.
Speaker 1: It was as good a powerful four yard run as
Speaker 1: you're gonna see, which then led to the touchdown run
Speaker 1: where he ran over a j. Terrell going into the end.
Speaker 2: Zone and and b Rob after that, Uh, at the
Speaker 2: c Rod got his touchdown, you saw b Rob come
Speaker 2: in there. And he ran a lot better in this
Speaker 2: in the second half as well, and even after that,
Speaker 2: that series was like you know, I'm seeing Chris Rodriguez
Speaker 2: getting going on the run games, so he stepped his
Speaker 2: game up. But obviously the jade and the the the
Speaker 2: design runs or where he has the option, and then
Speaker 2: the the off schedule stuff, the office line you mentioned,
Speaker 2: you know, being on your third tackle. And they was
Speaker 2: tough manny, the Falcons. They had a heck of a
Speaker 2: game plan. Yep. Their defense playing better than I thought
Speaker 2: they were prior to the game. They did some things,
Speaker 2: especially they hadn't really been able to get after the quarterback.
Speaker 2: They got the Lisa Moss amount of sacks I believe
Speaker 2: in the National Football League they had the least amount
Speaker 2: of sacks going into that game, and they were able
Speaker 2: to get to Jada I think it was three times,
Speaker 2: had him under the rest several other times. And that
Speaker 2: defense played beyond what they, you know, billing was going
Speaker 2: into that game.
Speaker 1: You know this is this is kind of a trend here,
Speaker 1: which is interesting heading down the end of the season.
Speaker 1: I mean, this was collectively one of the best rush
Speaker 1: offenses Washington throughout the course of the year, top five
Speaker 1: rush offense if you take away the last three weeks
Speaker 1: all the unscripted crazy runs that jayden Is making. You'll
Speaker 1: see numbers that I think the team is not going
Speaker 1: to be overly happy with. So I wonder how you
Speaker 1: feel about this is three weeks in a row now, Saints, Falcons, Eagles,
Speaker 1: Eagles are very good to run defense. The other two
Speaker 1: are not ranked like that, right, and Washington's still having
Speaker 1: trouble finding consistency in the run game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was something I did a study on when
Speaker 2: when just prepping for that game, and I looked at
Speaker 2: I went back and looked at our games against the
Speaker 2: the Eagles, the the Saints. It was I looked at
Speaker 2: the game against the titles, we ran for over two
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty yards, and it was looked at Cowboy.
Speaker 2: I looked at like maybe about five or six games,
Speaker 2: seeing what we were doing well and what things weren't
Speaker 2: we doing it, and a lot of it. It wasn't
Speaker 2: just like one area where it's like, okay, you know,
Speaker 2: running backs aren't aren't hitting the holes correctly. It was
Speaker 2: a combination of a lot of different things. We weren't
Speaker 2: winning at the point of attack consistently enough. There was
Speaker 2: some some mental errors that was taking place, like guys,
Speaker 2: you know, blocking the wrong guys or leaving on black guys.
Speaker 2: There were a situation where we weren't getting to the
Speaker 2: second level enough to and we were leaving unblocked uh
Speaker 2: second level defenders, whether it was a linebacker or a safety,
Speaker 2: somebody coming in an a man box, and so there
Speaker 2: was a there was some some times we were quite frankly,
Speaker 2: we lost one on one matchups, one on one battles
Speaker 2: as well. So there was a lot of different things
Speaker 2: that that had, you know, been an issue with us
Speaker 2: not running the football as effectively as we needed to
Speaker 2: run the ball I wanted. I haven't had a chance
Speaker 2: to go back and look at what we were able
Speaker 2: to do in the second half yet, I haven't had
Speaker 2: a chance to review. It was a late night man
Speaker 2: watching all of us. Yeah so, but without having reviewed it,
Speaker 2: but just remembering just first and I know, it looked
Speaker 2: more physical. It looked like we want a lot more
Speaker 2: one on one battles. It looked like guys were I
Speaker 2: d IDA and the proper guy and who they're supposed
Speaker 2: to block with their especially whether it was your counters,
Speaker 2: your pools, different different plays where you're where you're getting
Speaker 2: the block of guys on the move. It looked a
Speaker 2: lot better looked a lot cleaner in the second half.
Speaker 1: What they said going in Both Cliff Kingsbury and Dan
Speaker 1: Quinn mentioned this throughout the week with the run games.
Speaker 1: They wanted to see it get back, they believed, and
Speaker 1: they openly said that the offensive line and blocking, you know,
Speaker 1: everyone who's participating in it, that they were thinking too much.
Speaker 1: And their message was, if you're gonna make a mistake,
Speaker 1: do it fast, do it at full speed. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you saw that last night, because this is
Speaker 1: where they were asking them. Stop over analyzing every play.
Speaker 1: If you mess up, you mess up, but do it
Speaker 1: with the ferocity that we're looking.
Speaker 2: Speaking of ferocity, you mentioned the two runs that Chris
Speaker 2: had on that run. The series weight had to touch
Speaker 2: down the two plays we ran the bar. I believe
Speaker 2: that three straight run plays. You could tell it was
Speaker 2: almost like a seismic shift where you could feel the
Speaker 2: office on line gaining confidence in the rub blocking, their
Speaker 2: blowing the Falcons defensive front off the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 2: They have their double team blocks and they're moving the
Speaker 2: defensive lineman for the Falcons out of the way, and
Speaker 2: you know, Chris is running over people and keeping his
Speaker 2: legs turning a two yard carry or one yard carry
Speaker 2: into a you know what should have been a one
Speaker 2: yard k into a four yard game. And you can
Speaker 2: see just the confidence building with the offensive line, especially
Speaker 2: in that second half as they ran that football.
Speaker 1: The other thing I don't want to bring up offensively
Speaker 1: is one of the big stories all year was who's
Speaker 1: the number two receiver? That started from the get go right,
Speaker 1: we know Terry's the number one. Who's the number two?
Speaker 1: Do you have one? And in the middle of the
Speaker 1: and they said all along, it's two by committee. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of number twos. Don't put numbers on anybody.
Speaker 1: You'll see it'll all like people will step up in
Speaker 1: this role. Noah Brown became that, he became heavily targeted, utilized.
Speaker 1: When he got hurt, it was drummed up again who's
Speaker 1: the number two receiver? And the last two weeks alameddes
Speaker 1: A Kias and Jamison Crowder have beyond filled that void.
Speaker 1: Zakias specifically not just with scoring plays, but last night
Speaker 1: became the favored target for Jaydon Daniels.
Speaker 2: And then in first in the first series he had
Speaker 2: three catches, including a touchdown. So I'm like, oh man,
Speaker 2: this is a big This is a big day. And
Speaker 2: it wasn't just like the receptions. It was what he
Speaker 2: did after the catch, the the yards after contact, the
Speaker 2: yards after reception. He had a jet sweep lad in
Speaker 2: the game where it was a bit I think it
Speaker 2: was a you know, second down conversion, third third down
Speaker 2: play where he converted and he ran with physicality, and
Speaker 2: DQ talked about in practice how o z raises the
Speaker 2: competition with his teammates and they seek how him and
Speaker 2: they they feed off that energy that oz Elaminade's a
Speaker 2: Kias brings to the practice. And and when you think
Speaker 2: about this Brown, he's five eight, yeah, maybe two out
Speaker 2: know if he's two hundred, but he's uh to do
Speaker 2: what he did yesterday in that moment, in that stage
Speaker 2: and considering everything that was at on the line, My
Speaker 2: hat's off, hat off.
Speaker 1: I think you know, he played for Quinn in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: so he knew him. Quinn's brought some of his ex
Speaker 1: Cowboys players here because he knew them. Adam Peters in
Speaker 1: rebuilding and reshaping this rosters relied on a lot of veterans.
Speaker 1: Guys have been there, done that one at a big level.
Speaker 1: Get the zach Ertz a little bit. Had a big
Speaker 1: night again, Bobby Wagner. It's had a big night, you know,
Speaker 1: big year for them, and they seem to this is
Speaker 1: very This feels very you know, for me, he was
Speaker 1: like a historian of the team. Very Gibbsey. Where they want,
Speaker 1: they don't care what size, shape, they don't care. What
Speaker 1: they want to know is do you love the game?
Speaker 1: Do you play hard? It is football? And you what's
Speaker 1: your character? Like, what are you going to bring to
Speaker 1: work every day? And Zakias, everything everyone says about him
Speaker 1: is this guy loves the game, wants to be great,
Speaker 1: pushes hard every day. And here we are at the
Speaker 1: end of the season and people are going, who's that.
Speaker 2: What's his name?
Speaker 1: And here he is being exactly what they need at
Speaker 1: the right time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll say this, and you know you probably
Speaker 2: I don't know if you thought about this or not.
Speaker 2: When you when you look at the injury reporting, you
Speaker 2: saw that, Okay, we had lost Norah Brown and Demi
Speaker 2: Brown was going to be out of this game with
Speaker 2: the hamster injury, and Terry was limited during Terry was limited.
Speaker 2: So you you you're looking and you're going to this
Speaker 2: game like, okay, where where's the productivity gonna come from.
Speaker 2: What's it going to look like? And then you see
Speaker 2: the the first drive of the offense, and it's the
Speaker 2: LZ show. He made plays and like I said, I
Speaker 2: mentioned it finished the capped off that drive with a
Speaker 2: with a touchdown reception. Should have had another one on
Speaker 2: a questionable penalty against against Sam Cosmy that that would
Speaker 2: have put us up by two scores lay in that
Speaker 2: ball game. But you know, hey, they called that and
Speaker 2: took took that touchdown off the board. But he played phenomenal.
Speaker 2: You mentioned crowd, and he made some plays and just
Speaker 2: just a big, big knight for those guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was all right. Let's get to the defense
Speaker 1: a little bit. You know, early again trouble stopping the run.
Speaker 1: Granted that is a premier running back and running game.
Speaker 1: This is you know, they played Derek Henry paid Sakon twice.
Speaker 1: They now played Jon Robinson. He is if he figures
Speaker 1: out how to hit home runs, he's going to become
Speaker 1: one of those other two. But he's got that kind
Speaker 1: of ability. He was third in scrimmage arts coming into
Speaker 1: the game, and he was every bit as advertised early
Speaker 1: and once again, Washington the rush defense is something that
Speaker 1: they need to work on here.
Speaker 2: It was and and going against Atlanta's offense and the
Speaker 2: scheme that they run, it's an extremely difficult scheme to
Speaker 2: defend because that outside zone rushing. And you know this
Speaker 2: is me kind of being a football geek. It's it's
Speaker 2: it's really they're just looking for somebody, anybody to get
Speaker 2: out of their gap. They're telling that. They're not telling
Speaker 2: that running back, hey you got to hit this through
Speaker 2: the A gap. You got to hit this to the
Speaker 2: B gap. You gotta they're telling him you this, It
Speaker 2: could be anywhere. You're just trying to find somebody to
Speaker 2: end up out of their gap. For you to find
Speaker 2: that that crease the offensive linement. They get you running
Speaker 2: sideways so they can push you pass holes. And for
Speaker 2: a guy like him, with his great vision, his one cutting,
Speaker 2: he also runs with more power than his sides would
Speaker 2: kind of uh, you know dictates or or have you
Speaker 2: think he broke some tackles, but his vision, his ability
Speaker 2: to defind small creases, get out in and out of it.
Speaker 2: And you mentioned the home runs or lack thereof, that's
Speaker 2: surprising to me. It's explosive as he is that he
Speaker 2: hasn't had a lot of kind of hall run type
Speaker 2: of I.
Speaker 1: Think he's I think it's good. I think it's the
Speaker 1: next step for him. Yeah, because he's got incredible vision.
Speaker 1: It's really sliperyk and break tackles. The Saquon thing is
Speaker 1: two four four twenty five, and that he's going to
Speaker 1: get there, like you can. You could see it. He's
Speaker 1: gonna get there. I also get it with Michael Pennix
Speaker 1: now after seeing him in person, why they made the change.
Speaker 1: I will say this, like, it's a risky thing to do.
Speaker 1: We talked about it on the broadcast last night. To
Speaker 1: put somebody in with no experience. I don't care where
Speaker 1: he was drafted at that point in the season, high
Speaker 1: leverage games.
Speaker 2: You know, it's just a risky thing to do. I
Speaker 2: get it. I thought he was really good.
Speaker 1: But the one thing they're not in sync with, and
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised about this is their deep passing game.
Speaker 1: It wasn't there, and so I think Washington was a
Speaker 1: little fortunate without Latimore on the back end and a
Speaker 1: couple of matchups. You weren't gonna love Kyle Pitts on
Speaker 1: really anybody, Drake London, you know, without Latimore out there,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna love these matchups. But they're not quite
Speaker 1: in sync yet on that deep passing game. And I
Speaker 1: think that was helpful for Washington.
Speaker 2: And they didn't connect on definitely because there were a
Speaker 2: couple overthrows or inaccurate throws by by Pinnix that with
Speaker 2: more reps, he'll probably understand, you know, if I put
Speaker 2: a little bit more air on those balls. Timing with
Speaker 2: these players exactly, you know, balls were kind of a
Speaker 2: little bit flat. He missed, He missed John on a
Speaker 2: on a double move. He missed was in London or
Speaker 2: maybe Cordell Patterson. He missed. He missed a couple of
Speaker 2: guys on some what they had a step or two
Speaker 2: on our defensive backs and fortunately for us, he missed.
Speaker 2: He missed some guys and had some inaccurate throws.
Speaker 1: Second week in a row. Again, though premier running back,
Speaker 1: premier rush attack totally bobbled up first half. They couldn't
Speaker 1: they couldn't stop bijon second half. Granted, Atlanta didn't run
Speaker 1: a lot of plays because Washing actually controlled the ball,
Speaker 1: had the ball almost eight minutes on the first drive,
Speaker 1: and they had the ball for what thirteen of the
Speaker 1: third quarter or something like that. So they really controlled
Speaker 1: the ball still, which one way to keep them on
Speaker 1: the sideline, but in general that running game wasn't there.
Speaker 1: So the adjustment defensively again, second week in a row,
Speaker 1: they did it the sac one. They did it to
Speaker 1: Bijon in the second half too.
Speaker 2: Now a big, big one. And something I noticed in
Speaker 2: the second half was you saw Duran Payne move out
Speaker 2: to defensive end a little bit stouter body. They played
Speaker 2: Jalen Holmes a lot more, you know, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: stop stouter guys. You saw Allen and Newton in the
Speaker 2: in the ball game to wet set a lot harder edges.
Speaker 2: Earlier we were we were allowing them to get the
Speaker 2: get the edge and put a lot of pressure, and
Speaker 2: they they tried to force our tackles and safeties to
Speaker 2: be the be the the tacklers on on Beijohn and
Speaker 2: he broke some tackles. But nice, nice adjustments. We talked
Speaker 2: to Bobby after the game and he talked about one
Speaker 2: of the things that the adjustments that they made was
Speaker 2: Joe Whitt Jr. Started calling a bunch of different fronts,
Speaker 2: gave him some different looks for the Falcons and that
Speaker 2: caused them some problems. And yeah, they didn't have a
Speaker 2: lot of time with the football. They have a lot
Speaker 2: of possessions. But we just looked better defending a run.
Speaker 2: You saw some negative artists plays, You saw some plays
Speaker 2: where they were just making tackles. You know, after one
Speaker 2: yard games were in the first half, those were seven
Speaker 2: and eight yard games.
Speaker 1: Before we get to the championship belt. I want to
Speaker 1: ask you one big picture question. Yes, like this locker room,
Speaker 1: they got it whatever it is, right, I mean, look
Speaker 1: how they're playing together at this point in the season.
Speaker 1: You don't win all these games like this by accident.
Speaker 1: And it's not one guy. I mean, Jaden's a big
Speaker 1: part of it. It's not one guy, it's all of them. Like,
Speaker 1: look how the defense has shifted in the second half
Speaker 1: of games that were getting away from them against playoff
Speaker 1: teams Atlanta and Philadelphia comeback win defense completely different in
Speaker 1: the second half from the team in the first half. Right,
Speaker 1: what was your favorite locker room to play in? Oh man,
Speaker 1: that's the one that it must have felt like this.
Speaker 2: I'll say this, the ninety nine Rams that won the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. We won the Super Bowl. We had for
Speaker 2: as many great players on that team, and we had
Speaker 2: some of the top two three players in the league
Speaker 2: at their position, and it was a young team. And
Speaker 2: then when we were you know, worst team in the
Speaker 2: league in ninety eight, one of the worst teams in
Speaker 2: the league, and then and I won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: But that was a fun locker room. We enjoyed being
Speaker 2: around each other when the day, when the work day
Speaker 2: was over, We didn't all just scatter our several ways
Speaker 2: and head home. We spent time in the building together.
Speaker 2: We spent time outside the building together. And even to
Speaker 2: this day, I'm on group text with those guys. It's about,
Speaker 2: you know, twenty five of us still on a group text,
Speaker 2: and we you know, are constantly, you know, texting with
Speaker 2: each other talking about you know, different things that may
Speaker 2: happen or may have happened with it's games, or different
Speaker 2: accomplishment that you know, our family members have had, or
Speaker 2: something that just ignite that conversation. And now that was
Speaker 2: that was special time, special special place, special locker room.
Speaker 1: I mean, this one feels like, no matter how this
Speaker 1: season ends, that we have one of those. It just
Speaker 1: feels that way. And I'm not let the players speak
Speaker 1: for that. But Dan Quinch talked about this a lot,
Speaker 1: where every time it's what he sees how people are
Speaker 1: interacting outside of the game, when they're not forced to
Speaker 1: practice or whatever it is. There's something that's just clicked
Speaker 1: here and it's just carried over in a way that
Speaker 1: they won't quit and it's manifested on the field in
Speaker 1: a way that is just truly remarkable to watch.
Speaker 2: Well, here's here's the So let's take you and I
Speaker 2: for example. So we you and I. We do our
Speaker 2: broadcast every week, and I think we do a damn
Speaker 2: great job. Great. So, but if we didn't spend time
Speaker 2: you and I, we we like to go have an
Speaker 2: adult beverage, gether a cigar and all that. So we
Speaker 2: spend time together off, you know, outside of the booth,
Speaker 2: and so we're able to develop a chemistry we're able
Speaker 2: to develop, you know. And and Logan he doesn't partake
Speaker 2: into the other stuff with us, but he has a
Speaker 2: chemistry with us, and that plays off. It plays huge dividends.
Speaker 2: And especially calling winter time moments or tough situations where
Speaker 2: I know what this guy is gonna do. I can
Speaker 2: trust him, he can play off of me. There's a
Speaker 2: like a an ad lib that can take place because
Speaker 2: we spend time together. I know how you think we've
Speaker 2: developed this chemistry. And that's what happens on the best
Speaker 2: football teams where you spend so much time together outside
Speaker 2: of just hey in the meeting room, on the practice field,
Speaker 2: to where like, man, I trust this guy. I know
Speaker 2: he's gonna cover me if I if I make a
Speaker 2: certain move or do these things. And that's that's what
Speaker 2: you need. That's what that's what the best teams, that's
Speaker 2: what they have.
Speaker 1: And and just for everyone who's always worried that you're
Speaker 1: gonna push me out of the booth in big moments,
Speaker 1: he's not.
Speaker 2: See, he's not gonna get you a little. I'm not
Speaker 2: going puss hard. I mean it's one like, it's not
Speaker 2: I'm telling you that the jet that's.
Speaker 1: The reaction I got on the Hail Mary and the
Speaker 1: one against Philadelphia where you it looked like you were
Speaker 1: gonna throw me out of the boots.
Speaker 2: I can't help myself. Man, It's just I told you
Speaker 2: got to get your weight up.
Speaker 1: No, I'm tougher than I look, I'm not actually gonna fall.
Speaker 1: Don't judge a book by its cover.
Speaker 2: But the poise that you exhibit why I'm pushing you,
Speaker 2: You're still able to make your call. That's the skill.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the weirdest part of it. When I see
Speaker 1: these videos, especially in those moments, I don't remember that.
Speaker 1: I don't remember you pushing me. Really, No, I have
Speaker 1: no memory of it. I'm so locked in the zone. No,
Speaker 1: I don't remember any of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you black out.
Speaker 1: I do out of body experiences. We had that with
Speaker 1: this team.
Speaker 2: It's top of the belt.
Speaker 1: There's a big London's Heavyweight Championship Commander belt, be raiding champion,
Speaker 1: two time champion.
Speaker 2: It is Jaden Daniels.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be tough to knock him off, but
Speaker 1: we'll see the contender this week is who you.
Speaker 2: Know, it's a This one was not as tough because
Speaker 2: when I looked at guys who made well, I'll say
Speaker 2: it was two other guys that I considered to challenge
Speaker 2: Jaden for the big fletch Heavyweight Commanders Championship belt, and
Speaker 2: they were both other officer guys. One was Eliminade's a
Speaker 2: kiss he had the big big game was eight catches,
Speaker 2: he had touchdown, had a really nice game. Makes some
Speaker 2: made some made some great plays. And then the second
Speaker 2: guy that I considered was zach Ertz. Zach Ertz had
Speaker 2: a heck of a football game, obviously, and they had
Speaker 2: caught the game winning touchdown.
Speaker 1: Six for seventy two, two touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Game winning touchdown, yeah, two six reception seventy two yards,
Speaker 2: two touchdowns, both one of them. The first touchdown I
Speaker 2: was on the fourth down play, or maybe it was
Speaker 2: a third down play. He also, how about this for
Speaker 2: a day for zach Ertz. In his contract, he has
Speaker 2: some incentives for six plus touchdowns touchdown receptions. He had
Speaker 2: a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bonus that kicks in.
Speaker 2: For sixty plus receptions, another two hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 2: dollar bonus that kicks in, and for six hundred plus
Speaker 2: receiving yards, there's another two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
Speaker 2: bonus that kicks in. Guess what happened on that final
Speaker 2: touchdown reception that zach Ertz had caught all of it,
Speaker 2: all of it, he hit to try efecto. He went.
Speaker 2: That catch not only won us to Gay, but he
Speaker 2: pocketed three quarters of a million dollars seven hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars, and that, my friend, is why he
Speaker 2: got the challenge Jayden Daniels for the belt.
Speaker 1: Philip Butt is coming here now.
Speaker 2: Listen. I haven't gave you Jayden's numbers twenty four for
Speaker 2: thirty six seven yards passing the three TV's in the
Speaker 2: one interception. But see he also added sixteen carries for
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty seven yards and all the different things.
Speaker 2: He brought the electricity man to beat the chap. To
Speaker 2: beat the chap, you got to beat the chap, and Zach,
Speaker 2: he put up a good fight. It was a good battle.
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be hard to give it up to
Speaker 2: the belt when you put up the numbers that Jayden did.
Speaker 2: I told you, man. And still Big Fletcher's Heavyweight Championship
Speaker 2: Commander's Belt, Jaden Daiels. The champion is Jayden Dais.
Speaker 1: Repeat three in a row with Logan last week, and
Speaker 1: I gave it to Jaden too.
Speaker 2: I mean, what are you gonna do? Right?
Speaker 1: All right? So congratulations Jayden. Well deserved something else. I
Speaker 1: want to mention, I didn't realize this happened. If I
Speaker 1: had known this happened, I would have brought him over
Speaker 1: to our postgame show. You Jeremy Reeves got engaged on
Speaker 1: the field last night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that how the game ended. No one
Speaker 2: told me.
Speaker 1: If they told me, we would have had him come
Speaker 1: on with him and his new bride to be this.
Speaker 2: You got to you gotta plan this out because you
Speaker 2: know your your family. This is not a situation now
Speaker 2: super Bowl, you win the game, and yeah, your family
Speaker 2: will come on the field with you. But after a
Speaker 2: regular season game, it's not normal for your family members
Speaker 2: to come on the field and you know, celebrate with you.
Speaker 2: So he had to plan it out. He had to
Speaker 2: have somebody bring her down on the field. Now it
Speaker 2: was you know, the fact that she probably didn't suspect
Speaker 2: anything because hey, we clinched the playoffs, so maybe he
Speaker 2: wanted to celebrate with her for clinching the playoffs. But
Speaker 2: somebody had to have the ring. I don't know who
Speaker 2: had the ring for him. So there was some planning
Speaker 2: that took place that uh that had an execution that
Speaker 2: had to take place. And when I saw that, I
Speaker 2: was like, man, this is a this is a moment
Speaker 2: that you know, it's it's a He has video footage
Speaker 2: of his engagement, so here's all.
Speaker 1: I want to ask him if Riley Patterson makes that
Speaker 1: field goal, he's still doing no, no, heck no, it's
Speaker 1: off you doing it.
Speaker 2: You might do it New Year's Eve. Maybe he does
Speaker 2: it New Year's Eve that was playing.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find out was that. Was there a plan
Speaker 1: B if the team lost.
Speaker 2: You doing I think I think it would He probably
Speaker 2: would have did it New Year's Eve? Yeah, because you
Speaker 2: don't you don't propose at their loss like that. Hey,
Speaker 2: but he probably he he know what he may have
Speaker 2: said there was no plan B because I expected us
Speaker 2: to win. That's an easy thing to say. Sure. I
Speaker 2: like the video too.
Speaker 1: She was practice like crowdsurfing and then they like had
Speaker 1: to like yanker over over the wall to get her
Speaker 1: onto the field. So I congratulations Jeremy on your engagement.
Speaker 2: That's really cool.
Speaker 1: And you know what, like of all people on this
Speaker 1: team who's kind of been through everything here, I actually
Speaker 1: think it's so apropos He did it on the field there, yeah,
Speaker 1: because that place means something to him, like I for
Speaker 1: all like especially like last night we had Tressway on
Speaker 1: Jeremy Reeve, John Allen coming back, Terry McLaurin Doron Payne,
Speaker 1: b Rob. I know I'm missing some others, but especially
Speaker 1: the longtimers who to circle really back to the beginning,
Speaker 1: Like I think they feel this too, and it probably
Speaker 1: resonates with them kind of like the way it does
Speaker 1: with the fans. Maybe a little differently because you're the
Speaker 1: ones putting your bodies on the line of the uniform.
Speaker 1: But they know, like they know what we've been waiting for.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure for them to see that stadium like
Speaker 1: that last night and to win again that way last night,
Speaker 1: I can only imagine how they're feeling tonight.
Speaker 2: When you've gone through at Versity, you've gone through years
Speaker 2: of just tough times, tough seasons, and in Santana myself,
Speaker 2: you know, Frezmu Shawn Springs, and you know, we're we're
Speaker 2: a part of just being around it and having gone
Speaker 2: through some tough times. And you know, for the fans
Speaker 2: who've been with this team, you've been a fan of
Speaker 2: your whole life, and just to see this season you
Speaker 2: know transpired away as transpire, man, it makes you proud
Speaker 2: to be a Washington Commander's fan.
Speaker 1: And it has to end with a win against Dallas.
Speaker 1: I mean, like there's kind of no other way, So
Speaker 1: I honestly don't care six or seven seed because I'm
Speaker 1: with Q on this. We'll play anybody anywhere. I'd prefer
Speaker 1: a trip to l A. If I'm being honest, over
Speaker 1: Philadelphia because I like the sun in the middle of
Speaker 1: in the middle of January and the other thing I
Speaker 1: like about it too, especially if it happens we talk
Speaker 1: about next week. I think our fans are gonna overrun
Speaker 1: so far if we end up actually playing there, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to get the tickets to get
Speaker 1: into Philadelphia, but it would. But I'm excited about either one.
Speaker 1: But I do know that no seasons complete without a
Speaker 1: win over Dallas. So let's see if we can get one.
Speaker 2: This Oh yeah, you want to? You wanna put a
Speaker 2: cap on the regular season with a victory in Big D.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll see you down in Big D and
Speaker 1: we'll see you next week on the Booth Review
