Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back once again to Camping Out with
Speaker 1: Zach Selby, where all the practices have basically blended into
Speaker 1: one long day. But that's okay because we're out here
Speaker 1: watching the commanders that they get ready for the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two season. I'm Zach Selby and today we have
Speaker 1: two more new guests. We have the man himself, Rick
Speaker 1: doc Walker and our social media correspondent Katie Phoeney. Let's
Speaker 1: go check out what they had to say. So we
Speaker 1: just got done with practice Dog and you know, I
Speaker 1: see you with the clipboarder. You're out here. You're dissecting,
Speaker 1: grinding all some of the players have You always ask
Speaker 1: me every day what position are you looking at? What position?
Speaker 1: Did you look at? What position? I was looking at
Speaker 1: the receivers today, but what were you looking at today? Interior?
Speaker 1: The guys in the in the middle. I did DBS
Speaker 1: yesterday and d line before them. Because it's two volumeents.
Speaker 1: You can't look at everything, and they don't have their
Speaker 1: names on the back of the jerseys, so I'm it's identification.
Speaker 1: I gotta look at body type so I can make it.
Speaker 1: And it's been good. Today was following a padded practice
Speaker 1: it was really physical. This was the hardest one. I
Speaker 1: saw more off sides to day, and I've seen the
Speaker 1: entire camp. So what happens mentally? Now you hit that
Speaker 1: wall and this is when you have to push through it.
Speaker 1: We had our first little little fisticus a little bit.
Speaker 1: So that happens with fatigue, and it also happens to
Speaker 1: where you're getting closer to a game, the closer another
Speaker 1: opponent comes, so kind of normal, but I like what
Speaker 1: I see. Yeah, I think they're definitely ready to hit
Speaker 1: another opponent for sure. So you mentioned the interior, you
Speaker 1: know on the offive line. I think a guy who's
Speaker 1: really stood out to me is than Chris Paul in
Speaker 1: his development. I mean, who in the offive line has
Speaker 1: stood out to you? I like Chris, it's been and
Speaker 1: I don't want to take away from the veterans, but
Speaker 1: I like when you have what Ishmael is doing because
Speaker 1: think about it, he's starting and actually he'd be third
Speaker 1: on the depth chart because because injury. Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: I look at that as an opportunity to the tight
Speaker 1: end position. You're gonna have the guy who might be
Speaker 1: listed third, but we'll start played the most so you'll
Speaker 1: be playing third, fourth, and fifth guys. But that's what
Speaker 1: preseason is all about. It's an opportunity of a lifetime.
Speaker 1: I talk to Bates as a dude, don't rush back.
Speaker 1: I know you want to be back. And maybe he
Speaker 1: came at me literally because he looked worse today just
Speaker 1: walking than he did practicing. But you gotta test your body,
Speaker 1: you gotta develop some callous But in the end we're
Speaker 1: all targeting the opener. But right now is day to day,
Speaker 1: and if I'm a young guy and I haven't been here,
Speaker 1: it's an opportunity of a lifetime, not when you see
Speaker 1: eighty eight forty five young kids coming up in here
Speaker 1: now with a chance. Yeah. So on the other side,
Speaker 1: you know, we got the devenh of line here and
Speaker 1: with Chase Young being on the pubblis still we have
Speaker 1: some of the other debt players kind of getting more opportunities.
Speaker 1: Kind like you said on the off of, on the
Speaker 1: off the line to tight end, you know, Casey two Hill,
Speaker 1: Raylan Bradley, King James with Williams, all three of those
Speaker 1: guys have kind of flashed at various points. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: like a lot of it, Westie, But William Bradley King
Speaker 1: seems like he's grown a lot out of those other three, though,
Speaker 1: I mean, who has set up to you the most. Well,
Speaker 1: you you named him because Smith Williams came back and
Speaker 1: he'd been out. Two Hills made plays. He kind of
Speaker 1: jumps at you and you go, he flashes. I don't
Speaker 1: know why you don't. The dude has he got pop
Speaker 1: and you gotta burst in him too. I'm still going
Speaker 1: with the Spartan ninety one is with my secret guy
Speaker 1: who I always look for. A guy they pop up
Speaker 1: every now and again, like Dean Hamill did when we
Speaker 1: were playing. You called him taz Tasmanian devil, and so
Speaker 1: I'm it's so kind of even nobody's kind of popped out,
Speaker 1: but the whole group is kind of solid. I'll need
Speaker 1: the game to determine the winner. Okay, y'all like that.
Speaker 1: You know with two Hill, you know he had a
Speaker 1: really good practicing last week where he had a popped
Speaker 1: up fumble, took it back, had TfL there. Um you know,
Speaker 1: last one here, we got to talk to you about
Speaker 1: the tight ends a little bit, you know. Um Cole
Speaker 1: Turner still kind of recovering a little bit. You know,
Speaker 1: we got we got Curtis Hodd is kind of stepping
Speaker 1: up Armani Rodgers also stuffed up a lot. Yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: So you think he has a shot, Well, he is
Speaker 1: a shot because he's gonna be starting same thing eight fourteen.
Speaker 1: These new guys come in, Hey, they're gonna play. We
Speaker 1: know Logan's demand he's not playing. Bates may not play.
Speaker 1: If I'm trying to make a team, I'm going thank
Speaker 1: you because I need an opportunity. All right, dog man,
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Yep. Kate, how's it been are you?
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you still staying cool? I mean trying
Speaker 1: to stay warm? Cool and all his heat right now?
Speaker 1: It's a little bit warm, but a little bit. Yeah, Honestly,
Speaker 1: can't expect anything else from Maryland, Virginia. It's it's typical here.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you really get used to it, but I
Speaker 1: would be lying because you don't ever really get used
Speaker 1: to it. Um, so tell me, you know, we've had
Speaker 1: you out here for the past couple of days. You know, Um,
Speaker 1: what's it been like for you so far? Just hanging
Speaker 1: out with some of the players, you know, just seeing
Speaker 1: the seeing the team unfold. It'sn't really cool I've been
Speaker 1: a huge Commanders fan since I was little, so getting
Speaker 1: to be right by the players, see how they interact
Speaker 1: kind of like the fun things that we don't normally
Speaker 1: get to see from just a game. Um, it's in
Speaker 1: super fun. So you do a lot of like, you know,
Speaker 1: getting to know players a little bit more. I mean,
Speaker 1: what has that been like, kind of establishing those relationships
Speaker 1: with these players? At first, it was scary, definitely the
Speaker 1: first interviews. I'm like looking up at these these players
Speaker 1: that I've only seen play on the field, But they're
Speaker 1: all so nice, and I think the more I interviewed,
Speaker 1: the more I talk to the players, the more comfortable
Speaker 1: it feels. And it's just like a fun a fun conversation. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: the first interview I ever had a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago was Adrian Peterson, and I was just sitting there
Speaker 1: in his locker really nervous, like he could just see
Speaker 1: me just sweating Bullet's like talking to a future Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer. But he was really cool. And the players
Speaker 1: are also, you know, really awesome, you know, but you
Speaker 1: have a really particular connection to one of our new players,
Speaker 1: Johan Dotson, And I mean, first of all, what was
Speaker 1: it like when you first thought he was going to
Speaker 1: be joining the Commanders. I it was so unexpected and
Speaker 1: hearing his name because I had no idea that that
Speaker 1: was a possibility. So at the night of the draft
Speaker 1: seeing his name on the big screen, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I know him, like it's I don't even just like
Speaker 1: know his name, like we actually know each other. So
Speaker 1: I was like, this is this is like the best
Speaker 1: coincidence ever. Wow. Yeah, you know, it's funny, Like I
Speaker 1: remember seeing the reaction video. It's just it's probably one
Speaker 1: of the purest, most adorable things I think I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you've talked to him a few times now,
Speaker 1: and you know, we obviously see him a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: making plays hopefully a lot, you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: touchdowns out there, But what has he been like off
Speaker 1: the field? Who is he as a person? Johan is
Speaker 1: the most genuine, down to earth person And he was
Speaker 1: one of the first people I met at Penn State
Speaker 1: because he's close family friends with my roommate from last year.
Speaker 1: So he's just the nicest guy yea, And yeah, I
Speaker 1: think just he's a great person and I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna bring a lot to the team, So I'm excited
Speaker 1: to see how everything unfolds. Yeah, you know, I talked
Speaker 1: to him for a story. I was helping him write
Speaker 1: this player's post story about how he would was like
Speaker 1: to get drafted the first time you go to the
Speaker 1: be with a team and everything. He's You're right, he's
Speaker 1: such an very often dick person. I'm really excited to
Speaker 1: get to know him a little bit more. But you're
Speaker 1: also going to be at the Jacksonville Jaguars game, the
Speaker 1: season opener. How it pumped? Are you for that? I
Speaker 1: am so pumped. Um, I get to be like on
Speaker 1: the sideline this time. I'll have a vest, get to
Speaker 1: capture footage during the game. So it's going to be unreal.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to just like look up in the stands
Speaker 1: and see everyone and yeah, I'm I'm hype. I will
Speaker 1: say so. My first home game was in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: and it is, honestly, you know that that mystique of
Speaker 1: just being on the field and like seeing the players
Speaker 1: out there in person for the first time, you're you're
Speaker 1: You're never going to forget it, honestly, But Katie, we
Speaker 1: really enjoy you having having you out here. You know,
Speaker 1: let's go back watching practice. That's all we have for
Speaker 1: you today, but be sure to check out your daily
