Speaker 1: Hey, there we go. Welcome the Command Center Podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: Logan Falls here with Fretzmonenz and Tennemuntins. Today's show, we
Speaker 1: got Jade Daniels historic here man. He was a special
Speaker 1: football player, ap DQ. Is that the best pairing sets
Speaker 1: bethed and gifts. We have to think about that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like to think about That's gonna be a tough talk.
Speaker 1: And then can we get better for next year? And
Speaker 1: are we super Bowl bound? That's all of today's show,
Speaker 1: and this is a reminder were presented by Cognier Technologies
Speaker 1: to cure today, shape tomorrow. And guys, we have a
Speaker 1: very special event today because we are here at Davios
Speaker 1: Restaurants and rest. I said it right, man, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was a little worried about it.
Speaker 2: Let me get the first to.
Speaker 1: Get the prenciation guy going. So it's good to be
Speaker 1: here in front of a live audience. Guys, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for coming out tonight. Really appreciate it. And
Speaker 1: obviously we're at Tuck Commander's Football specifically, we'll start off
Speaker 1: with Jayden Daniels and I don't know what we can
Speaker 1: say that hasn't already been said.
Speaker 3: He was God sent right to change a fan base
Speaker 3: this's been down for three decades. And the things that
Speaker 3: he did in his first year, he established himself. It's
Speaker 3: the best rookie quarterback of all time?
Speaker 1: Am I sederating right there?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 1: I mean a little bit, he though. I mean, who
Speaker 1: would you put ahead of that? I mean, friend says
Speaker 1: crazy stuff, that's a crazy thing to say. But then
Speaker 1: I think about him, like, it's not that far off, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know who you're putting the
Speaker 1: same pantheon. Obviously, people will talk about it if you
Speaker 1: locked potentially, but again, his rookie year was not it
Speaker 1: was not statistically.
Speaker 4: This at least we wasn't around to actually witness no
Speaker 4: one else's rookie year to be up equal, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And what he did not just through the air,
Speaker 3: because that was impressive, not what he did on the
Speaker 3: ground that was very impressive, but his leadership skills and
Speaker 3: going knowing how to win football games that was beyond
Speaker 3: his years. He showed maturity his spots where we've all
Speaker 3: been rookies, no doubt, we didn't. We wasn't there yet
Speaker 3: like he is.
Speaker 4: Well, that's one of the things that stood out to me.
Speaker 4: You know when folks ask you questions about it. You know,
Speaker 4: of course we had you know, I guess you could
Speaker 4: say front row seat to just witnessing everything that he
Speaker 4: got a chance to go out there and do on
Speaker 4: the field. But what wild me was just the maturity,
Speaker 4: not only the maturity week in and week out. As
Speaker 4: the weeks grew, you know, teams are going to start
Speaker 4: as saying we got to pick up now on what's
Speaker 4: he displays half far? Yep, And it just he wasn't phased.
Speaker 4: He went out there every time and he became better.
Speaker 4: So when you say, was he the best rookie quarterback
Speaker 4: or the best rookie period that you've ever seen, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I can honestly say he's one of those guys I've
Speaker 4: never seen anything like.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, best is irrespective. Though to me, the
Speaker 1: thing that was most impressive about it, and you guys know,
Speaker 1: because you guys played for a long time, is just
Speaker 1: like week on week what you're talking about, Tanne, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the ability to like stay in it mentally, Like he
Speaker 1: just went through this whole off season process, got drafted high,
Speaker 1: did the whole thing. Yeah, and then for him to
Speaker 1: just kind of be that consistent mentally each week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's maybe the most impressive thing.
Speaker 3: Right, I got something that might be even more impressive
Speaker 3: the way he consumed success. He assumed success and not
Speaker 3: let it bother him. You wouldn't have known. The great
Speaker 3: thing about him I love emotionally, he's always in the middle.
Speaker 1: It don't matter if he.
Speaker 3: Just threw for four hundred yards, he just threw two interceptions,
Speaker 3: you would never know. So that maturity, and not just
Speaker 3: the maturity, but the maturity of learning how to accept success.
Speaker 1: That really shocked me. It's almost like he was more
Speaker 1: frustrated dealing with the media than he was with the season,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like that that was like
Speaker 1: that was a distraction from his main goal, which I
Speaker 1: thought was really interesting to be around him and just
Speaker 1: see like again, like we're in the building, you get
Speaker 1: to see him every day. Like his ability just to
Speaker 1: be so locked in again, I was just that was
Speaker 1: the thing that was most.
Speaker 4: You almost have to be taught to how to I
Speaker 4: guess you can say handle the media, because you know
Speaker 4: how he was as rookies.
Speaker 1: Stay.
Speaker 4: I remember going through it in New York, not understanding
Speaker 4: that my role and what it took for me to
Speaker 4: be a first round draft pick and my responsibility of
Speaker 4: talking to the media after practice, Yeah, the games. I
Speaker 4: didn't understand that until a guy you know, wrote me
Speaker 4: off in front page paper, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: And then I realized, like, oh, it's it's it's more.
Speaker 4: That's more layered than just getting in a football peah.
Speaker 4: So to have a young guy to come in and
Speaker 4: you win the Heisman, you go through all that stuff,
Speaker 4: you go through the draft and everything. Then to come
Speaker 4: in here and not know how big this media is
Speaker 4: when it comes to this football team, and to have
Speaker 4: a successful season, you know, I guess you can say
Speaker 4: it was caught off guard a little bit, but as
Speaker 4: the season went on, you can see him loosen up
Speaker 4: a little bit and understand his his his role was
Speaker 4: bigger than what he probably expected.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, So obviously there's the stuff on the field,
Speaker 1: but I think like maybe something maybe maybe a better
Speaker 1: thing to talk about it is like when did you
Speaker 1: know that he was a guy? Like what was the
Speaker 1: moment where you're like, this is the dude that is
Speaker 1: going to be something special. I've got a couple of
Speaker 1: moments in mind, but yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Got to coverage suit I think the one that stood
Speaker 4: out the most of me was Prime Time Monday night
Speaker 4: football in Cincinnati. Yeah, I mean, you look, it's one
Speaker 4: thing to say that if you look back, because before
Speaker 4: every game you can almost go back to the years
Speaker 4: and say, well, the you know, the Commanders then paying
Speaker 4: out well against.
Speaker 2: This opponent or when they playing Prime.
Speaker 4: It's always a set popped up about bigma, what we
Speaker 4: did in the past. And so leading up to that week,
Speaker 4: I heard so much of it, and I was.
Speaker 1: Not you know, I'm a superstitious guy.
Speaker 4: I don't like that stuff to kind of I guess
Speaker 4: you could say, linger over it to how I believe
Speaker 4: or how I think. And I was saying the whole time,
Speaker 4: I'm not going to mention it. I'm not going to
Speaker 4: say anything about Monday Night Football. I'm not going to
Speaker 4: say anything about Prime Time. This is a new era,
Speaker 4: new staff, new team, knew everything. And to see him
Speaker 4: go out there and play go, you know, blow for
Speaker 4: blow with Joe Burrow, Joe Burrow had a magnificent night.
Speaker 2: And to see him standing the.
Speaker 4: Paint and not flinch and not flinch then throw the
Speaker 4: dagger at the end to Terry, That's.
Speaker 1: When I knew it was he was him.
Speaker 3: Well, it's supposed the dumbest, since I have an eye,
Speaker 3: you know when it comes to young talent. Yeah, it
Speaker 3: so when I thought the guy was special, it.
Speaker 1: Was no lie. I just felt it. It was after the.
Speaker 3: Appreciate practices when I seen him practice.
Speaker 1: Not even the game. You remember practice. I do remember
Speaker 1: the practices.
Speaker 3: I got more from the practices than I did from
Speaker 3: the game because I'm like, this guy's handling this defense
Speaker 3: that had Saust Guardener, that has the Williams brothers. This
Speaker 3: guy's not flinching with them because because I'm like, all right,
Speaker 3: is he If he gonna make mistakes, he's gonna make them.
Speaker 3: At this practice with Jets like they moved too fast.
Speaker 3: This is gonna be a whot. DJ read like I
Speaker 3: can keep going on with the talent they have. And
Speaker 3: when I see him not get flinch, get nervous, have
Speaker 3: no butterflies, I said.
Speaker 2: We got us one.
Speaker 3: I was like, we got somebody that has ice water
Speaker 3: running through their veins. And not only did he make
Speaker 3: this fan based fall in love with him, he made
Speaker 3: other fan basis father of love.
Speaker 1: That's the most unbelievable thing. I'm gonna call you a
Speaker 1: liar first person. My daddy is a preacher.
Speaker 3: We don't believe in that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's probably it's the Cincinnati game. It's
Speaker 1: a third and seven where it hits that bombitary like
Speaker 1: that was like such a big moment and again like
Speaker 1: for him just and then you're like, oh, man, he's
Speaker 1: not able to do it again. Then they go to
Speaker 1: Arizona and he built off of it and they have
Speaker 1: the game, tough game versus the Steelers, the overtime win
Speaker 1: versus the Falcons. Man like every time they were kind
Speaker 1: of ring the bell, he just walked up and rang it.
Speaker 1: And it's just every day he just got better every
Speaker 1: single week.
Speaker 3: It felt like, did you early on tell the truth
Speaker 3: shame the devil? Did you early on say you know what?
Speaker 3: Because a lot of fans would call it into the
Speaker 3: show and be it aked me.
Speaker 1: Is this RG three like the first one.
Speaker 2: The first couple of games, No, just the first couple.
Speaker 3: Of games for Cincinnati or yeah, when they wasn't sure
Speaker 3: to believe or not?
Speaker 2: Did you did you hear a lot of that rumblings?
Speaker 1: And what made you say?
Speaker 3: I said it wasn't compared with the RG three because
Speaker 3: of the person.
Speaker 1: They was two different people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they might have had the same skill set, but
Speaker 3: it was two different people in the way they think
Speaker 3: and the way they leave.
Speaker 4: So I love the fact that you asked us that
Speaker 4: question because we actually played with RG in both and
Speaker 4: out the gate, I knew it was something different. I think,
Speaker 4: you know, when you look at RG magnificent first year,
Speaker 4: I mean, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: Man, it was that time we talked about this.
Speaker 4: It was times when even when he was wrong, he
Speaker 4: made it, made it right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And then it was another thing to that season.
Speaker 4: I remember having an offense in twenty ten under the
Speaker 4: same staff, and then twenty eleven the same offense, and
Speaker 4: then twelve everything just shifted and changed to basically, I guess,
Speaker 4: support him to make sure cater to what he can
Speaker 4: do well. And so you know, at the same time,
Speaker 4: when you shift like that and you have a guy
Speaker 4: that's dynamic as RG.
Speaker 2: Three was, you know, the league was caught off you know,
Speaker 2: court off guard.
Speaker 4: They didn't understand how to you know, I guess you
Speaker 4: could say, stop what we was doing out the gate.
Speaker 1: And then you saw some of those.
Speaker 4: Games later in the season where oh, you know, things
Speaker 4: are catching up to us now. The defense is are
Speaker 4: playing to some of our weaknesses and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: The reason why I always got frustrated when I heard
Speaker 4: the fans ask the question of Barji three, because I'm
Speaker 4: actually the guy that had to be out there, you know,
Speaker 4: letting him know, Hey, I'm hoping on this one. When
Speaker 4: I'm watching Jaden, I was sitting there saying, Oh, he
Speaker 4: knows it.
Speaker 2: He actually he's going to the wide receiver.
Speaker 1: This he at him.
Speaker 4: He actually has the answers, Yeah, before he gets out
Speaker 4: that huddle, you know.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So that's the difference that I saw in a young
Speaker 4: Jayden and RG three. I saw a guy that can
Speaker 4: actually dissect the defense in the pocket and not have
Speaker 4: to worry or use his legs so much.
Speaker 1: You Yeah. And I think the thing that gets me
Speaker 1: excited is, you know pretty sure Jason did a great
Speaker 1: job of putting this on. Is is this his ceiling
Speaker 1: or can he continue to improve? And I think the
Speaker 1: thing about him in this year and the difference between
Speaker 1: him and Robert is Robert it felt like he was
Speaker 1: popped up by the offense. Yes, and this feels like
Speaker 1: it's the reverse. It feels like Jaden's propping up the offense.
Speaker 1: He's reading stuff out, he's making plays, he's being discerning
Speaker 1: not only when to throw the football, but when to
Speaker 1: run the football. And that decision making process tells me
Speaker 1: that he's playing NFL football. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: He has the opportunity to play in football. And I
Speaker 1: don't want to speak for you guys, but do you
Speaker 1: think he can continue to still improve?
Speaker 3: I do, because we still as good as he was
Speaker 3: this year, he still left some plays on the field,
Speaker 3: and we know you only get bad as you be
Speaker 3: in this game.
Speaker 2: Like this is a scary fact.
Speaker 3: Philis what if I tell y'all this is the worst
Speaker 3: he's gonna be, but like it's a chance this is
Speaker 3: the worst he's Kapilo.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And we are incredibly excited about Jane Daniels, obviously,
Speaker 1: but we're also excited about Adam Peters and everything that
Speaker 1: he's done for this organization so far. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about that when we come back after the break. So
Speaker 1: Big one hundred listeners makes you stay tuned. We're talking
Speaker 1: to Adam Peters when we come back. Big one hund
Speaker 1: All right, Big one hundred listeners, Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Command Center podcast and welcome back to dabios and guys,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us here. This is fantastic.
Speaker 1: Really appreciate it. And I forgot to ask you, guys,
Speaker 1: how do you guys feel here at Davia's. How do
Speaker 1: you guys feel about Jane Daniels. Yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker 1: That's an easy one, right, I'm gonna that's an easy
Speaker 1: one right in your own time in the city, when
Speaker 1: you you know, head a quarterback that you can lean
Speaker 1: on like that.
Speaker 3: People don't like to talk about it, but the quarterback
Speaker 3: is the most important person owned a football, and.
Speaker 1: I would argue maybe in this case second post important person.
Speaker 1: The guy that really got this whole party started was
Speaker 1: Adam Peters. And when you think about him coming in
Speaker 1: here right and everything he was able to do right,
Speaker 1: obviously hiring Dan Quinn, drafting Jayden Daniels, and really just
Speaker 1: kind of changing the total map. Yeah, and the direction
Speaker 1: of this franchise. I think we got to give him
Speaker 1: some credit. And it just seems like such a pivotal
Speaker 1: key or pivotal cog, excuse me, the whole thing.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, especially with him and DQ being on
Speaker 3: the same page. You know, that's the thing about Adam's Peters.
Speaker 3: He's the guy that goes to the grocery store to
Speaker 3: get the groceries and he has to ex chief then
Speaker 3: Quinn to cook it up. So I need to be
Speaker 3: on the same page with what ingredients? How you getting
Speaker 3: for me? And when he looked at our roster, he said,
Speaker 3: you know what I need to get better in each
Speaker 3: and every room, and he did it. Think about it,
Speaker 3: we had over eighty percent, almost eighty percent of these
Speaker 3: eighty six with new players on this team, and for
Speaker 3: them to come together in one off season and do
Speaker 3: with the things that they did.
Speaker 2: You got to give Adam Peterson props.
Speaker 1: For what he did. He put together with this team,
Speaker 1: no question.
Speaker 4: But just think about how many years we went without
Speaker 4: a true gs them.
Speaker 2: And so to finally get one.
Speaker 4: And of course, you know nowadays it's a copycat league.
Speaker 1: You see other teams are successful.
Speaker 4: You see the success of San France and the Ravens
Speaker 4: every year, you know, especially when it comes to just
Speaker 4: making to the you know, to the postseason. Buffalo, all
Speaker 4: the teams that you see consistently getting to the postseason,
Speaker 4: and you're wondering to yourself, like what do they have
Speaker 4: that we don't? We have the players we probably couldn't
Speaker 4: say we could probably could juggle here and.
Speaker 2: That say we have a culture too, But what was
Speaker 2: it that we didn't have?
Speaker 4: It was a gym, Yeah, I think that was That
Speaker 4: was so you know, I guess you could say vital
Speaker 4: to our success this ship, because not only did we
Speaker 4: get a GM, we brought a guy in here that
Speaker 4: was young, that had been around the game for a
Speaker 4: long time when in football started off from being a scout,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 2: He had he basically had his steps.
Speaker 4: You know, I mean, he'd been through the whole gun,
Speaker 4: comes to you know what it takes to be in this,
Speaker 4: you know, the position that he's in now.
Speaker 2: And he just knew what to do.
Speaker 4: He knew what to do far as let me go
Speaker 4: pick the little you know they say them go out
Speaker 4: there and get you the gross like you Yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna get you the groceries. I might not can't tell
Speaker 4: you how to cook it. It's on you to do that,
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna get the groceries. And so to say
Speaker 4: that we had a huge turnover that that fast. You know,
Speaker 4: every player that you went out there and got yep,
Speaker 4: we spot on. That was amazing to me is himself
Speaker 4: and that's just what it takes, you know, to have great.
Speaker 3: He showed us what happens when you don't have a
Speaker 3: GM because the three picks before him, before he get here,
Speaker 3: they're not on his team, right, so they go to
Speaker 3: repercussions of not having a guy with an eye for
Speaker 3: talent and not just an eye for talent. What is
Speaker 3: this guy gonna be in three years when we develop
Speaker 3: him eye for tablity and it's not.
Speaker 1: Even an eye for talent, it's just the time. It's
Speaker 1: the time to go through four hundred college athletes, it's
Speaker 1: the time to go through a two hundred free agents.
Speaker 1: It's the time to look at all the trades, who's availability,
Speaker 1: make those phone calls. That's a full time job, man.
Speaker 1: And I think, not only do you need to have
Speaker 1: the time and the position to get that done, you
Speaker 1: have some skill. And I think he's cultivated. Like like
Speaker 1: you said, Tann that he was with the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1: He saw how Bill Belichick did it right. He went
Speaker 1: to Denver, saw how Denver did. They won a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl there. He went to say Francisco. They won a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl there, so he got to see three different
Speaker 1: Super Bowl winning organizations and how to handle it and
Speaker 1: for him to bring that level of experience here. And
Speaker 1: then the thing that gets me man is not only
Speaker 1: did he do do a great job with the team,
Speaker 1: but every single higher you know, like of the people
Speaker 1: that are under him in that personnel offense has been outstanding.
Speaker 1: They've been all stars. Like Lance Newmark has been a
Speaker 1: great addition. Yeah, that's someone he goes out and identifies.
Speaker 1: And so tamil acquisition is a thing on the field,
Speaker 1: but then building a structure that makes it work is
Speaker 1: also something that's extremely special.
Speaker 3: So can we come to agreement that the days of
Speaker 3: the head coach slash GM is over?
Speaker 1: Week? I think it's over. I was talking to a
Speaker 1: I was talking to an agent the other day who
Speaker 1: represents a bunch of coaches and he's like, I'm actually
Speaker 1: actively advising my clients to no longer do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's just too much time. It's too big of
Speaker 1: a time commitment. And so obviously the Washington Commanders have
Speaker 1: had good GMS in the past. One guy in particular
Speaker 1: is Bobby Bethard. Right the legend man in the meal
Speaker 1: he's a legend, and so he's a Hall of Fame guy, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a executive and you know, obviously GM from nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy eight. In nineteen eighty eight he hired Joe Gibbs,
Speaker 1: Obviously Adam Peters hired Quinn. Nineteen eighty one draft picks,
Speaker 1: you know, Mark may Russ Gram, Dexter Manly, Charlie Brown,
Speaker 1: Jojoacobe was a UDFA Hall of Fame and then after
Speaker 1: that he drafts Art Monk, Darryl Green, Charles Man, Gary Clark.
Speaker 1: So in terms of the importance of a GM to
Speaker 1: this organization, I mean, yeah, it's it's there is he
Speaker 1: can he kind of live up to that legacy that
Speaker 1: that's a big Barnes. I mean you got to.
Speaker 3: Realize Logan did a he found Dale Green at Texas
Speaker 3: A and I this food on it ain't even open the.
Speaker 1: I think they turned it into a raising Kane. I
Speaker 1: don't like he found guys that people didn't know the
Speaker 1: talent that was back in the day where they had
Speaker 1: the film that they had literally film it up in.
Speaker 3: You had to trust what a coach told you about
Speaker 3: a player when you called down there. So the environment
Speaker 3: of Bethel was probably harder than his environment we live
Speaker 3: in now, this digital environment.
Speaker 1: But I couldn't imagine, like could.
Speaker 3: You imagine, like here he go the draft, Thie's coming
Speaker 3: out this five hundred reals?
Speaker 1: I mean, do you remember watching you? I don't know
Speaker 1: how much film used to watch Fred, but watching old
Speaker 1: films before it got to be high definition and you
Speaker 1: have to be like, what number is that? The grainy fans,
Speaker 1: the dude with a towel on it, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes we did have, but I just think that's
Speaker 3: a heavy bark. But the way that they started off
Speaker 3: this year, because if you look at our draft picks,
Speaker 3: number two pick at quarterback, arguably the best rookie quarterback
Speaker 3: of all time, Mikey Sanders still comes he here and
Speaker 3: plays big time.
Speaker 2: We're waiting on being sent in to come and hits
Speaker 2: his own.
Speaker 3: We found they starting left tackle in the third round Colevid.
Speaker 1: So yes, he's starting off on that how should I say, trajectory,
Speaker 1: But he's got to take the plane offf No, you
Speaker 1: gotta take off at one point.
Speaker 3: But getting to the NFC championship the first year, it's
Speaker 3: only great things ahead. So I think he can live
Speaker 3: up to that that lawfully Bard has been said.
Speaker 4: Yea, I truly believe he can. He could probably live
Speaker 4: up to. But it's it's a tall mountain, Klaws.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're I hate to do it because we're
Speaker 1: making these comparisons, and these comparisons are somewhat unfair, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Yeah, to be fair, I mean, I'm happy with what
Speaker 4: I saw thus far. You know what, to me, it's
Speaker 4: not a look, it's not about having player for player.
Speaker 4: You know what we've seen in the past. Aren't Monk
Speaker 4: Dalrek Green all those guys. But it's just how consistent
Speaker 4: can you be at getting the right guy, getting the
Speaker 4: right guys to come in here and be a part
Speaker 4: of what we're trying to do A win, a successful team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I want to talk with this some more.
Speaker 1: Is you know, obviously dan Quinn Adam Peters working together.
Speaker 1: That seems like the thing that makes it go. So
Speaker 1: if if i'm if I'm AP and I bring in
Speaker 1: twenty six free agents, yeah, I gotta trust that dan
Speaker 1: Quinn can build the culture and make that right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And if I'm bringing all these draft picks in, I
Speaker 1: got to make sure it aligns. And so to me,
Speaker 1: when I look at that relationship, and we already talked
Speaker 1: about it a little bit, but that to me seems
Speaker 1: like the most important relationship in the entire organization.
Speaker 3: No, no, it is because because you need that synergy,
Speaker 3: you need to all be on the same page, all
Speaker 3: headed in the right direction.
Speaker 2: That's kind of colonel and sergeant working together.
Speaker 3: Right there, like we are the truths and we all
Speaker 3: been in that locker room, and one thing we do.
Speaker 3: We come into the locker room with unloftly expectations. Come
Speaker 3: on even as players. I mean I was a rookie.
Speaker 3: I come in the locker room, I see I see
Speaker 3: Dale Green, I see the other saying, I see cham Bailey,
Speaker 3: And I was like, well, I'm like, I think I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be as.
Speaker 1: Good as you guys. The bar was too high.
Speaker 4: Now, But you you also been around teams where you know,
Speaker 4: the GM and the head coach wasn't on the same page,
Speaker 4: but they was picking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, so that's that year.
Speaker 3: It was like that because they wanted to draft you remember,
Speaker 3: but instead they drafted God yeah, yeah, they blew it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the other person we got to say this
Speaker 1: great job of is Josh Harris, Oh yeah, his ability
Speaker 1: to identify and again it's it's a leadership rous Magic Johnson,
Speaker 1: My os, Rix Spielman, that whole group, and I just
Speaker 1: love the way they handle it. They said, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get a bunch of people in here that know football,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna make the best hire in Adam Peters
Speaker 1: and he's gonna set the direction for this organization.
Speaker 3: Bes Onna in the area. He's so good at his
Speaker 3: job they want him to kick him out of Phelly
Speaker 3: right now. Like this is what I'm telling you. You know, well, yeah, all.
Speaker 1: Right, We're gonna take a quick break and when we
Speaker 1: come back, we're talking dan Quinn. Is he the best
Speaker 1: coach in the in the NFL? I think so. I
Speaker 1: think so we're gonna talk about that when we get back.
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Command Center podcast time logan paulse here
Speaker 1: with fretzwod A Tenemos. We're in Davos in resting and
Speaker 1: we have the best fans in the league here with
Speaker 1: us tonight. Thank you guys so much for coming out.
Speaker 1: Sandel woke up with sleeping time. It makes tonight very
Speaker 1: very special. So we're talking dan Quinn right, and you
Speaker 1: know I love his motto anybody, anytime, anywhere.
Speaker 2: Anywhere, anywhere.
Speaker 1: I mean, Tanny, You've had a couple of interactions with him, obviously,
Speaker 1: like what makes him, in your estimation such such the
Speaker 1: right guy for this He's such a right guy for
Speaker 1: this job.
Speaker 4: I mean, you want to speak about the job first.
Speaker 4: I think being personable as a coach is key. We've
Speaker 4: been around a lot of coaches that didn't care about
Speaker 4: what was going on, didn't care about you personally. He
Speaker 4: understood that, hey man, I got to bring the best
Speaker 4: players in here. Sometime it may, it might kind of
Speaker 4: you know. I guess you can say not allow us
Speaker 4: to have the best relationship because I'm not trying to
Speaker 4: have a relationship with you. Yeah, but I think that's
Speaker 4: where most of those guys fail at. You know, you
Speaker 4: have to understand the talent you bring in and the person.
Speaker 4: It's one thing, it's the talent and it's the person.
Speaker 4: What dan Quinn especially at is knowing the man, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, before he goes out there and
Speaker 4: plays a play. He want to understand that I'm bringing
Speaker 4: the right guy in this locker room that can coexist
Speaker 4: with all these other guys. So to me, that's what
Speaker 4: his I guess you can say his special talent.
Speaker 1: Is, well, let's be honest.
Speaker 3: First of all, he met his wife it sales very University.
Speaker 3: So this in the DMV. So he found love in
Speaker 3: the d n B and that bringing love back to
Speaker 3: the DNV. And think about this. When you look at coaches,
Speaker 3: we kind of break them down in different categories. You
Speaker 3: got your brain eac what they call this new school
Speaker 3: guy that's gonna innovate things. You got your coach with
Speaker 3: the Granddaddy effect, that coach Gibt that you'll run through
Speaker 3: a brick wild for. You got your super disciplinarian. I
Speaker 3: think he's a little bit of all of them. And
Speaker 3: it allows him to shape and mold coaches. And you
Speaker 3: can only shape and mold coaches if you can get
Speaker 3: the masses on your team to believe whatever message that
Speaker 3: you're trying to get to them. And his person ability
Speaker 3: allows them to sit there and say, you know what,
Speaker 3: I believe in Coach. I'm gonna run through a brick
Speaker 3: wild for Coach. I trust what he's teaching. And he
Speaker 3: got out fifty three guys that believe in that intendent.
Speaker 1: This is something you talked about when we were talking
Speaker 1: about the coaching search, you know, and all these different candidates.
Speaker 1: You're like, I want someone who is good at being
Speaker 1: a head coach, is good at leading men. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I think when you look at Dan like his career
Speaker 1: is head coach is great. You know, it's a super
Speaker 1: Bowl obviously fall short, but he understands that element of
Speaker 1: leading and motivating people at the highest levels.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if I mentioned about you know that
Speaker 4: that's another part to me that I think that he's
Speaker 4: I guess you could say sterling at just leading me in,
Speaker 4: just being one of those guys that man, he knows
Speaker 4: how to get into a room.
Speaker 1: You know how that room is.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you got a bunch.
Speaker 3: Of out for you got fifty three after mails and
Speaker 3: here with millions of dollars, and they got guys.
Speaker 4: That sometime like what the coach said don't even matter,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: I sometimes you bring it to work. You don't take
Speaker 1: but a chance.
Speaker 2: He gambled a lot. He always had some dice and something.
Speaker 4: But honestly, you have guys, trust me, We've been in
Speaker 4: locker rooms where the guys felt like if he's not
Speaker 4: saying the right thing to me, I don't care. I
Speaker 4: don't give it the rats, you know what about what
Speaker 4: he's saying. So great to show the screen, to have
Speaker 4: a guy to come in and be able to address
Speaker 4: the room and say, look, this is what we're about,
Speaker 4: this is what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: This is me. He late that down first.
Speaker 4: Yes, you know, and most players that we talked to, like,
Speaker 4: we had player at the player come and tell us
Speaker 4: that before we went out there and played to play,
Speaker 4: he made sure we knew each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So that tells you a lot about the coach out
Speaker 4: the gate. So that's what you want. And then I
Speaker 4: told you guys, when everybody was in the you know,
Speaker 4: Ben Johnson in a frenzy of this.
Speaker 2: I want to offensive minded.
Speaker 4: God, I'm like, no, when we played those Cowboys for
Speaker 4: years after years after years, where were they lacking that.
Speaker 2: Most most of them all defense?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, until Dan Quinn got there and there was a
Speaker 4: guy there. Defense went through the roof. The team was
Speaker 4: winning twelve games every year. So when I heard we
Speaker 4: was getting him, yeah, I was ecstatic. I was ecstatic alone,
Speaker 4: but just knowing that our defense gonna get better.
Speaker 2: Ye.
Speaker 4: And then also were taking something away from those guys
Speaker 4: who we hate the most, giving him a deficion, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean. So that's where to me it
Speaker 4: all started. But I just love a guy that understands, Look,
Speaker 4: this is what I gotta do. This is the tone
Speaker 4: that we have to play with. This is the mentality
Speaker 4: we had to have. And every guy that went out there,
Speaker 4: everybody we brought in, everybody that we got rid of,
Speaker 4: the guys that was here was the guys that he
Speaker 4: believed in the most.
Speaker 3: I want to thank y'all old offensive coordinator Kyle shana Hand.
Speaker 3: He's the reason we have dan Quinn like that the
Speaker 3: bokle in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: It's the reason that we have dan Quinn at the God,
Speaker 1: you're such a hater, brother.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying they win into halftime with a thirty
Speaker 3: thirty point league and Cal gave it up.
Speaker 4: But gat what you blame that solely on col Or?
Speaker 4: Do you say he was playing against gotta check break?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: No, I blame it on these two people, Cal and Shanahan.
Speaker 1: Guess who I brain it off.
Speaker 3: But we need to like that he failed because no
Speaker 3: coach has won a Super Bowl in one place and
Speaker 3: win another place in one one.
Speaker 1: So by him failing it kind of let.
Speaker 3: Him go build himself back up and bring himself here.
Speaker 3: And what I heard him saying an interview is every
Speaker 3: mistake I made at the Atlanta Falcons is, but I'm
Speaker 3: not going to make those mistakes here.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And I think that's a great point, right,
Speaker 1: because it brings me to like maybe one of my Obviously,
Speaker 1: the players, the juice, the mentality are all there, but
Speaker 1: the hiring of his staff, right, talking about knowing your
Speaker 1: blind spots. Yeah, got Cliff Kingsbury, Joe what Junior Larry is, Oh,
Speaker 1: Anthony Lenn Bobby Ingram, Ryan Kerrigan, and then you've got
Speaker 1: guys like that are underneath Cliff kings are if Kingsberry
Speaker 1: were to leave, you feel good about him. So talk
Speaker 1: about a guy that said, hey man, this is the
Speaker 1: thing that kind of tripped me up when I was
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, Kyle Shanahan leaving, right, I lost kind of
Speaker 1: control of the offense. Yep. But he's got all these guys,
Speaker 1: you know, previous staffs that we've covered here. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: look at the staff, You're like, man, there's nobody else
Speaker 1: that I would hire here to be an Oca here,
Speaker 1: there's like four or five guys that have either been
Speaker 1: a head coach or a head coach. I say, like
Speaker 1: that is the way to troubleshoot an issue and talk
Speaker 1: about learning from a mistake. Yeah, that's one of my
Speaker 1: favorite things about that is his ability to continuously learn
Speaker 1: and get better. Well, just just go down the line.
Speaker 3: Cliff kings Beer, we just had like three people try
Speaker 3: to come out to him and be their head coach.
Speaker 1: He said, no, I'm happy. Jedi five makes me happy.
Speaker 3: Joe Witt just took a defense of guys and they got.
Speaker 1: Better each and every week.
Speaker 3: Larry Is, though, I'm sorry they got to give him
Speaker 3: props as a special team.
Speaker 1: Our special teams with specialty.
Speaker 3: Anthony leon Is head coaching, quality coaching guy. Bobby Ingram
Speaker 3: brought a lot to the wide receiver room and not
Speaker 3: very own Ryan Harry and I'm sure the knowledge that
Speaker 3: he has in his head and teacher that he is
Speaker 3: helped everything get molded the way it's supposed to be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we heard so much about you know, our defensive linement,
Speaker 4: talking about Ryan character's impact, you know, teaching them how
Speaker 4: to get off of you know. I guess you can.
Speaker 2: Say blocks and the team that. Yeah, and you don't.
Speaker 4: Understand how valuable that is of having a guy of
Speaker 4: that nature in that room. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: because yeah, we look at no, we understand it, but
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, like Forrest for the yeah, in general,
Speaker 4: average fans to understand that Ryan is.
Speaker 1: The reason why some of those guys.
Speaker 2: Fire look got double digit sex, no doubt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again like that's all, that's all. Good job hiring.
Speaker 1: And the other thing I love about Dan is he's
Speaker 1: taken a lot of responsibility for clock management, end of
Speaker 1: game situations, fourth downs, win and when not to go
Speaker 1: for him. And you look at the statistical elements of
Speaker 1: this year's team that made them a winner. Right, it's
Speaker 1: an eighty seven percent conversion rate on fourth downs. They
Speaker 1: it's a forty five percent conversion on third down. Right,
Speaker 1: it's understanding, hey, when to go for two, end of
Speaker 1: game scenario, managing timeouts and when you've got you See again,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to throw shaite on the Bears. Yes
Speaker 1: you are. I am, Actually I am exactly what we do.
Speaker 1: Like they butchered end of game scenarios, y, Yeah, their
Speaker 1: head coaches in charge of that Yeah. Look at the
Speaker 1: difference between a guy who's involved in their stands the
Speaker 1: situation and dan Quinn And how many victories that lead
Speaker 1: to this to this year for us?
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean sixth at least, right, I'm off gonna
Speaker 4: say four or five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you gotta realized we went on.
Speaker 3: We went on I think a fullth down play to
Speaker 3: extend the drive late late in the year. So him
Speaker 3: understanding situational football is what makes him different.
Speaker 2: And that's what you get when you coach, Like when.
Speaker 3: You sit back and coach and you go against these teams,
Speaker 3: you understand why.
Speaker 1: No doubt. Yeah, and the other thing. So this is
Speaker 1: a little bit from This is from producer Jason, So
Speaker 1: don't give me any hate for this, but it is
Speaker 1: dan Quinn already the best head coach in Commander's history
Speaker 1: other other than Joe Joe Gibbs. It's one year, but
Speaker 1: that's what That's what my only thought on this. His
Speaker 1: one year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, beats coach gibbs first year. We can we can
Speaker 3: all agree what was.
Speaker 1: For those of us who don't know, namingly me, what
Speaker 1: was Joe Gibbs's first year? I think he wants seven games? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think eight games, eight games games?
Speaker 3: All right, well I got went to the NFC Championship,
Speaker 3: so striped one. He was better than the Joseph in
Speaker 3: his first year. All right, Well where's the bo for
Speaker 3: coach Gibbs?
Speaker 1: Three super Bowls.
Speaker 4: And they go to bisship been the first one.
Speaker 3: But I can say this as a first year head coach,
Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever seen a job did to
Speaker 3: the t like this job was pretty impressive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was. It was definitely impressive.
Speaker 4: And I think just for the guys that I know
Speaker 4: after Joe gibbs second stint alone, you know, and one
Speaker 4: of the guys that stood out the most to me
Speaker 4: was Mike Shanninghan. Yeah, I think he had the better
Speaker 4: I guess you can say run at it, you know,
Speaker 4: with this staff and with this uh, you know, this
Speaker 4: football team. But I think he's he takes that lead
Speaker 4: over from him.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So obviously a quick break right now. But we
Speaker 1: are extremely excited about this team. Obviously, friend's extremely excited.
Speaker 1: Best coach since Joe Gibbs. And so we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: predictions for next year. Are we super Bowl bound? I'll
Speaker 1: open that one day in that van let's stay tuned
Speaker 1: to find out the window. In the Welcome Back to
Speaker 1: the Command Center podcast, I'm Logan Paul sit here with
Speaker 1: Fred Swetenna Moz. We're in Davo, so in resting and
Speaker 1: thank you guys, the fans so much for coming out
Speaker 1: and supporting us. Awesome. Yeah, I love it, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: let me go amazing. Risutta's amazing. It's the risult result.
Speaker 2: Yeah I have.
Speaker 1: I'll just you that's pretty quet. You should get the Risotta.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you tell them France sent you. Yeah. All right.
Speaker 1: So now we're gonna start with risk It for the
Speaker 1: Biscuit team predictions for next season. That's presented by Marsha
Speaker 1: McLennon Agency, your partner in Risk and People's Strategies. So
Speaker 1: first off, again when we're talking predictions, there's a couple
Speaker 1: of things we got to talk about areas improvement, and
Speaker 1: we also gotta look at the schedule for niction. Let's
Speaker 1: do it. And so I look at the schedule and
Speaker 1: you Tanna, you looked at the schedule for next year,
Speaker 1: he wrote. Initial reaction.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean that's the price you're paid on
Speaker 2: when you're good.
Speaker 1: I mean, we have a sicke place a schedule.
Speaker 4: You look at every team on here, and most of
Speaker 4: the teams they were successful, especially our way games. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean you got Minnesota, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chargers, Kansas City,
Speaker 4: Green Bay. All those teams were successful last year. They
Speaker 4: had quarterback, they had almost winning season. So you look
Speaker 4: at it and you say, no, year is gonna be
Speaker 4: like the other year? Yeah, you know what I mean
Speaker 4: out the gate. So you have to look at yourself
Speaker 4: for say, do we run it? Are we that good
Speaker 4: next year?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: You know, And that's the I guess that's the question
Speaker 4: for all ups to kind of, you know, deal with
Speaker 4: this off season. Now I look at it like this,
Speaker 4: I'm not so high on us having twelve wins. Everybody's
Speaker 4: probably gonna say that's the bar. That's what I want
Speaker 4: to see.
Speaker 1: Every your playoffs.
Speaker 2: Just get to the playoffs.
Speaker 4: So with that being said, no, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 4: expecting us to go out there and have that kind
Speaker 4: of season. But I do expect consistency in what we
Speaker 4: saw from this team as in the way they played
Speaker 4: the game.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: When I look at this schedule, all like to say,
Speaker 3: thank god, you can't say anything. Thank God for the
Speaker 3: New York Giants. You don't need a week off at
Speaker 3: the quarterback. We gotta play, Patrick Mahome. Do you think
Speaker 3: Gino Smith holds another quarterback? I've been set they do
Speaker 3: have even in the division. Dak Prescott, Ye, Dalen hurts
Speaker 3: Geno Smith.
Speaker 1: We got guys, Michael Penis again, nickt it's a gun
Speaker 1: merit golf. Let's just keep going.
Speaker 3: Just off, you know, and the charge you might have
Speaker 3: a good one too. All I'm saying is is one
Speaker 3: of those things no fair dodging. If y'all say, y'all
Speaker 3: that type of team. We a playoff team for really
Speaker 3: your playoff team. This is how you have to prove it.
Speaker 3: And nobody cares how you win these games. I don't
Speaker 3: care if at three point games over tag games. If
Speaker 3: you can get out of here with a winning schedule,
Speaker 3: I mean a winning record and get to the playoffs,
Speaker 3: you've proved everything I need to know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think the thing that makes me feel
Speaker 1: really good is that there are a lot of quarterbacks
Speaker 1: on this list. Yeah, but the Washington Commanders got a quarterback.
Speaker 1: Now they got a quarterback. Yeah. And the one thing
Speaker 1: about getting a quarterback, especially one as skilledness composed as
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels is. He lets you compete with every single
Speaker 1: everybody on here. And again it might not be twelve wins,
Speaker 1: but you're going to be in a dogfight. And so
Speaker 1: that's something else I want to talk about with you guys. Right,
Speaker 1: So obviously I think we're really happy with, you know,
Speaker 1: twelve wins, playoffs, championship game, all those different things. But
Speaker 1: I do think we all acknowledge the team needs to
Speaker 1: get better. Yeah, we always you can always get better.
Speaker 1: The first thing coming up here is the is free agency. Right,
Speaker 1: so we got to resign a bunch of guys. We
Speaker 1: got to look to other teams to find out where
Speaker 1: do we want to get kind of better? Where where
Speaker 1: the areas you want to get better?
Speaker 3: Start by resigning on starting by now, Start by resigning
Speaker 3: mister Jeremy Chin, Starting by signing mister Bobby Weck.
Speaker 1: I got a couple of clips out there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, bring back a guy like Dante five, that's
Speaker 3: much like so Caniarius Lucas a good swing tak in
Speaker 3: this league.
Speaker 2: So start with your own before you go shopping all
Speaker 2: other people teams.
Speaker 3: Now, what I would say if I was the GM
Speaker 3: of you know, Fred Peters that I would be trying
Speaker 3: to add at least one guy to each room.
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's through the draft.
Speaker 3: I don't care if it's through free agency, be a trade,
Speaker 3: because you know his rumors at there.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So I want to add at least one person to
Speaker 3: the room where he had in the pecanoida.
Speaker 1: In that room, we'll be decided.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't necessarily have when it comes to just one,
Speaker 4: you know, when it comes to every you know position,
Speaker 4: you know position, But I do believe in the trenches
Speaker 4: is key.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: I want to see some offensive linemen come in here,
Speaker 4: defensive lineman coming because you know, you hear so much
Speaker 4: about getting that other, you know, and when you have
Speaker 4: we just talked about, we have a quarterback.
Speaker 2: When you have a quarterback, the average.
Speaker 1: Guy is a great he's a good place. Talk about that.
Speaker 1: Your average receiver.
Speaker 4: Yeah, your average receiver now plays in a level of
Speaker 4: that consistent number two guy.
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying, Like your quarterback of force.
Speaker 2: We had at least four number two receivers this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: Because Jayden Daniels made those guys that leathro and so
Speaker 4: when you have a quarterback, you need to protect him
Speaker 4: more than anything. And then defensively you need to get
Speaker 4: out of their quarterback. So and you know what our
Speaker 4: main problem was defensively is stopping the run. So we
Speaker 4: able to stop the run better than we did last year. Man,
Speaker 4: you know, I hate to see what our opponents this
Speaker 4: year because we get better there, and we get better
Speaker 4: stopping the run, protecting our guy and making sure that
Speaker 4: we can run every game.
Speaker 3: Yep, man, this guy's a limits fall team. Well, you're
Speaker 3: right in our start with the guy that smell like Baker.
Speaker 3: When we won a championship here, we had the Hogs
Speaker 3: on the offense. We had dixter Manley Child's man on
Speaker 3: the defense. So it starts there. So let me go
Speaker 3: talk about the elephant in the room. Were talking about
Speaker 3: trades and drafts and stuff like that. We said we
Speaker 3: were gonna be up through the trail. But if the
Speaker 3: Browns come a ringing the phone and say, what are
Speaker 3: you willing to give up for a guy like Males Garrett,
Speaker 3: do you pull a trigger at the side, I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna get It.
Speaker 1: Depends on the price man. I'm a big price guy,
Speaker 1: but I think I think we're talking about the same thing, ultimately,
Speaker 1: want to get better. I think one of the things
Speaker 1: I want to just double c on what Fred said
Speaker 1: is you want to make sure going into the draft
Speaker 1: you have the skeleton, the spine of your team in place.
Speaker 1: You have enough guys to play a season. And then
Speaker 1: what Tanna is talking about is making sure that we
Speaker 1: get better from a talent standpoint, right, Yeah, where's the
Speaker 1: young athletic up and comer that's going to make this
Speaker 1: roster significantly better? And I think Tanner brings up a
Speaker 1: great point. You both were up a great point, and
Speaker 1: that the offensive line is critical. And I don't think
Speaker 1: you need to look any farther than the Kansas City
Speaker 1: Chiefs is a model. Yeah. Patrick Mahomes is, you know,
Speaker 1: special player, Hall of Fame player, that's quarterback and football.
Speaker 1: He struggles the most when his offensive line struggles, the
Speaker 1: month every quarterback does. They've never really had a true
Speaker 1: one since Tyreek left, Like they make it work with
Speaker 1: Travis Kelce. But I think that's something that I would
Speaker 1: look at there is how do we make sure that
Speaker 1: that offensive line, that protection plan is short up and
Speaker 1: this is this is going to sound like weird coming
Speaker 1: from an offensive guy, Tanna, I don't really care if
Speaker 1: they can stop the run because if we're scoring a
Speaker 1: lot of points, all those guys gotta do is rushing passes.
Speaker 1: You're right, right, absolutely, yeah, let's get after it. Man.
Speaker 1: Let's yeh.
Speaker 3: But but you need the dos, I think, because you
Speaker 3: got to always go with the team first of all,
Speaker 3: any of your division.
Speaker 2: It just happened to beat the Super Bowl champions.
Speaker 1: How are they built?
Speaker 2: We're built to come back them.
Speaker 1: And trench warfare is where they win it. Trench warfare. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, So that's gonna do it for risking for
Speaker 1: the Biscuit. Presented by Marsa McLennan. Thanks Martis McLennon. As always,
Speaker 1: now it's getting the hell yeah or hell now. And
Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see what I know. Friend's gonna
Speaker 1: say something crazy what Tanna says about this? So has
Speaker 1: DC arrived as a Super Bowl contender in twenty twenty five? Fans?
Speaker 1: What do you think we like? Tell them the truth
Speaker 1: the friends of the man of the people.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, speaking with your chance, That's what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: Like people called into the show out the time. They
Speaker 3: was ashamed to be a woman. Don't be ashamed to
Speaker 3: be no women. We got four quarters away from New Orleans.
Speaker 3: Four quarters away from New Orleans, all we needed four
Speaker 3: more extra quarters with a quarterback that's a year mature.
Speaker 3: Then we come add these guys were talking about I
Speaker 3: don't even know where the super Bowl live next year,
Speaker 3: but we're going.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm at a political rally when we
Speaker 1: talk vote for me, vote for friend.
Speaker 2: I love it too, but I'm one of the guys.
Speaker 1: He don't do that. Okay, So that I knew, I
Speaker 1: knew you say this. Let me just say this.
Speaker 2: Contenders, contenders, Contenders is key.
Speaker 1: So do you think with Jadon Daniels we're contender? I
Speaker 1: think we are.
Speaker 4: I think I think we continuous because we have that
Speaker 4: position sealed. We have we have that, we have the
Speaker 4: quarterback in house.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But I also believe that in order for you to
Speaker 4: really be a contender, you have to establish what I
Speaker 4: talked about earlier with the trenches.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we can still the fight those guys in
Speaker 1: the trenches. I'm with you.
Speaker 4: We going to the super Bowl. Yeah, And I think
Speaker 4: that's that's more vital than anything else. I don't care
Speaker 4: about knowing the guy you get in here, defensive line, offensive.
Speaker 1: Line, play sweat shirt. Read it for the parade. I
Speaker 1: read it for the parade. I can't I can't say
Speaker 1: anything after it just ends the conversation because now it
Speaker 1: sounds like I'm gonna be a hitter. No, So what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say is that this is I totally agree. Right,
Speaker 1: anytime you got a quarterback, questionally, you got a chance.
Speaker 1: And I think it's a chance. Now are how close
Speaker 1: do you get year on year? I think it's depending
Speaker 1: on the thing we just talked about with the roster. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is the roster ready to take you there?
Speaker 3: But but could we agree that this is probably gonna
