Speaker 1: Welcome into the game Plan Command. It's faming. We're back
Speaker 1: in Northwest Stadium taking on the Atlanta Falcons. We catch
Speaker 1: away hit coach Dan Quinn to talk all about today's.
Speaker 2: Matchups and no, we're heading the film to look at
Speaker 2: Jad's five touchdown to day and what transfers to the
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons today.
Speaker 1: Five touchdowns well, and then in the show we get
Speaker 1: to our must watch matchups.
Speaker 2: All that one, all the game plays.
Speaker 1: What a way to go into the bye week with
Speaker 1: a win. What is the message to the team as
Speaker 1: you hit into the bye week after such a great win?
Speaker 3: I think for all of us watching, we we know
Speaker 3: what the vision you know of our team of what
Speaker 3: we can be. And so this play style, the attitude,
Speaker 3: the identity, the physicality, that's what we want to be.
Speaker 3: And so by playing fast, by playing physical, by taking
Speaker 3: care of the ball, by going after it, those are
Speaker 3: the things that I want to see every time we play.
Speaker 3: And that's going to be true now and ten years
Speaker 3: from now and fifteen years from now, and so that
Speaker 3: ain't ever changing.
Speaker 2: But I think that's probably the coaches like paradox is,
Speaker 2: like how do you get the guys to do it?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, because it's like that's the goal,
Speaker 2: and I know that's the goal, and you know that's
Speaker 2: the goal, but how how do you get the execution
Speaker 2: there all the time?
Speaker 3: Well, I think number one logan that has to be
Speaker 3: for the guy next to them, not for any of
Speaker 3: the coaches. And that's where real connection takes place. And
Speaker 3: so if you can get that part right and doing
Speaker 3: it over and over again, that's a big deal. What
Speaker 3: I noticed for sure was it was lead sled dog time. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And I felt that from Terry McLaurin, from Wagner, from Ertz,
Speaker 3: from others, where Okay, this is how is how we're
Speaker 3: going to get down And I love that because the
Speaker 3: best of the best leaders, they're willing to put themselves
Speaker 3: out there and make sure all the things that we're
Speaker 3: going to do on the hardest of days are practices
Speaker 3: out in the wind and the cold. But like, we're
Speaker 3: going to get it in today, and they were all
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 1: And coach we are head instead of bibe cover. There's
Speaker 1: still games to be placed. When you look at that win,
Speaker 1: what can you take from that win and game plan
Speaker 1: to help us in our next match against scenes.
Speaker 3: More than anything. We want to make sure that the
Speaker 3: things that we do well that that carries over having
Speaker 3: a late buye. I never really talked about it with
Speaker 3: the team of the buye. No one really cared, you know,
Speaker 3: and there wasn't much to be gained from that. Hey,
Speaker 3: in two weeks from now, we're gonna have a buy.
Speaker 2: And you're gonna feel great. You're gonna feel great in
Speaker 2: two weeks.
Speaker 3: I knew there would be some silver lining on the
Speaker 3: end of that, and so I just wanted us to
Speaker 3: go push to work our skills. Can we get better?
Speaker 3: And if we could do that, even as you're in
Speaker 3: a struggle, there is you do gain that. And I'd
Speaker 3: love to say that the progress comes in all the
Speaker 3: games Like yesterday, there's a lot of progress that came
Speaker 3: in the three weeks prior, and you have to sometimes
Speaker 3: go through that hard part to see the growth. And
Speaker 3: yesterday's game you got to feel some of that growth.
Speaker 3: Although it sucked to go through the hardest part. It
Speaker 3: is how you come out the other end that is
Speaker 3: what you can apply into the next games, into the
Speaker 3: next lap, into the second half of the season.
Speaker 2: Do you have an example, coach of something that you
Speaker 2: feel like the guys learned from the tough stretch that
Speaker 2: they were able to apply yes strain and they can
Speaker 2: care for the rest of the year.
Speaker 3: I would say the line of scrimmage work is the
Speaker 3: thing that stood out to me the most on both sides,
Speaker 3: and we would go as far as our big guys
Speaker 3: would take them on both sides and knowing how important
Speaker 3: that is to have balance to be able to play
Speaker 3: strong at the line of scrimmage. December cold football, we're
Speaker 3: playing outside. That part has to go downloading and if
Speaker 3: we could get that part of our game like we
Speaker 3: want to. I wasn't going to measure the success of
Speaker 3: the run game and just the total yards. Did we
Speaker 3: target right, We're our pads down, could we finish blocks,
Speaker 3: could we move the pile? Those were the things I
Speaker 3: was looking to measure. It just so happened that Brian
Speaker 3: set it off early, but I wasn't going to measure
Speaker 3: on that. I wanted it the intent taking our shots
Speaker 3: at it, and same thing defensively.
Speaker 1: And Coach, we have to talk about your boy. Bobby
Speaker 1: Wagner continues to make history thirteenth season with one hundred
Speaker 1: of more tackles. He got that on Sunday. You have
Speaker 1: a long history with Bobby Wagner. What has been like
Speaker 1: to see him continue over and over again to make
Speaker 1: that history.
Speaker 3: Yeah, consistency, man, it's not the sexiest word, but it
Speaker 3: is so strong about who you are. And if you
Speaker 3: know you'd see many mornings at six o'clock, and who'd
Speaker 3: you think you'd see first in the weight room in
Speaker 3: his wax And so I saw a tackling drill a
Speaker 3: few weeks ago. I talked about of him over and
Speaker 3: over again, where he's probably done that ten thousand times,
Speaker 3: but it was such deliberate practice about how he would bend,
Speaker 3: try to hit it on the rise, get the wrap together.
Speaker 3: And so consistency for him is just the way he lives.
Speaker 3: It's not it didn't have to do extra that he's here,
Speaker 3: but the way that he does. There's a lot of
Speaker 3: sacrifice that goes into his game. That all of the
Speaker 3: unrequired work meaning required when you're here, but there's a
Speaker 3: lot that he does not here, getting ready, taking care
Speaker 3: of his body, of watching film and studying, and so
Speaker 3: all that sacrifice. It takes away from family time, but
Speaker 3: he also knows he's playing. They'll understand when it gets
Speaker 3: to the special parts of the season, all that unrequired work,
Speaker 3: all the extra that he puts in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think about him in the same context
Speaker 2: as like London Fletcher, and I was a rookie when
Speaker 2: London was in his thirteenth season here, and just how
Speaker 2: special and how impactful it was to see someone who's
Speaker 2: been to the mountaintop yep, and it's still playing at
Speaker 2: a really high level. I know we've talked about it
Speaker 2: a bunch, but like, it just seems like such a
Speaker 2: huge part in year one to have a guy like
Speaker 2: that here to just say, hey, like this is the
Speaker 2: way follow me kind of deal, and I just I
Speaker 2: don't know if you can overstate that kind of importance.
Speaker 3: And how many people can still keep up with him,
Speaker 3: I know, but they want to what's the workout routine?
Speaker 3: How do you study? They all wanted the information and
Speaker 3: now it's up to them to apply it, but they
Speaker 3: wanted to know, like, what's the secret. Well, you're going
Speaker 3: to be disappointed. And what Bobby has done remarkably is
Speaker 3: he has raised his floor. So this is where he
Speaker 3: performs all the time. There's no dips and valleys into
Speaker 3: his performances. It's consistently good all the time, like he
Speaker 3: just doesn't allow himself to dip down into performances that
Speaker 3: aren't good enough, Like he just won't allow it.
Speaker 1: And it's funny Logan mentions his London Fletcher because he's
Speaker 1: the only other person to have more seasons with one
Speaker 1: hundred plus tackles. So shout out to London Fletcher. I
Speaker 1: know they're very close. Now another guy you're familiar.
Speaker 3: I did see them yesterday in the locker room talking
Speaker 3: and it made me really proud to see these two
Speaker 3: linebackers and I thought to myself, how many tackles do
Speaker 3: these two like they're like it was like I just
Speaker 3: saw them talking together, and it made me think, like
Speaker 3: how remarkable the both of them are, and so here
Speaker 3: they are. They weren't talking as a member of the
Speaker 3: media or they were talking as two linebackers, like just
Speaker 3: two guys that tackle everything. Yeah, and like you know,
Speaker 3: like make apologies for yeah, right, And it was one
Speaker 3: of my favorite memories of leaving the locker room yesterday,
Speaker 3: just seeing these two guys who are elite at what
Speaker 3: they do, just having a conversation.
Speaker 1: And coach is interesting. You mentioned that because London tweeted
Speaker 1: today that they he reached out. Bobby reached out to
Speaker 1: London back in twenty fourteen just to get advice. When
Speaker 1: you're a guy like Bobby Wagoner who's just so good
Speaker 1: that passion, that hunger for knowledge, Man, how special is
Speaker 1: that when you see a guy like Bobby Wagner that
Speaker 1: wants to reach out to the oldest and say, you
Speaker 1: know what, I want to learn from you?
Speaker 3: And that's his way. Now London paid it forward to Bobby,
Speaker 3: and Bobby's now doing that to some of his teammates.
Speaker 3: And that's probably the bigger part of the football brotherhood
Speaker 3: that most fans don't know about, and how much people
Speaker 3: are willing to pay their knowledge forward. And it's one
Speaker 3: of the coolest parts of our game that they get
Speaker 3: to share the information about it.
Speaker 2: Well. One of the things that I always appreciated when
Speaker 2: you when you're in Atlanta we were there together, was
Speaker 2: that I felt like you had a knack for that
Speaker 2: is like that football brotherhood. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: is like kind of encouraging guys to do that. And
Speaker 2: I think that's super special and super important. And why
Speaker 2: do you think that's so important?
Speaker 3: Anytime anybody's done anything at the highest of levels, you
Speaker 3: should want to know, you know what is you know,
Speaker 3: what was one thing you know that made a difference
Speaker 3: in your career? Like why wouldn't you ask Doug Williams
Speaker 3: a you know didn't have to be on the field.
Speaker 3: Was what was one thing you did that made a
Speaker 3: difference in your career. I can remember, like we were
Speaker 3: talking about in Atlanta, John Lynch before he was the
Speaker 3: GM at San Francisco was doing TVs. Would you come
Speaker 3: early and spend the morning with Kiki? It's kind of
Speaker 3: here was these two physical safeties and what that looked like.
Speaker 3: And sometimes just all you need to do is make
Speaker 3: a connection, just connect the dots of people that stand
Speaker 3: for that kind of football and that brand. And so
Speaker 3: for us, we're fortunate, you know to have you know,
Speaker 3: people like Dark Green that's hereby or a guy like
Speaker 3: Doug or yourself. That's just the ability to ask and
Speaker 3: the guys that are willing to share that information like
Speaker 3: that's a really cool thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you're even seeing that on the offensive side
Speaker 1: with the way that Tera mcclorin's kind of taking Jayden
Speaker 1: Daniels others. We and they've made that connection two touchdowns
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Times. We continue to see that connection grow.
Speaker 1: What have you seen from them and their relationship and
Speaker 1: how they've been able to work together throughout this season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, practice is top of the list. And you know
Speaker 3: for the fans that may seem like practice, like how
Speaker 3: could that be that valuable? You know, we have all
Speaker 3: these games, But it's the timing, it's the connection. It's
Speaker 3: the depth of a route. It's knowing where to go
Speaker 3: if it's man to man and where to sit down
Speaker 3: if it's a certain coverage. And so that doesn't happen
Speaker 3: just on film, and so it has to be an
Speaker 3: eye contact, a signal you know though them being in
Speaker 3: such connection with one another, that's the biggest part of it.
Speaker 3: And they have that together.
Speaker 2: And one of the things, like you know, work with
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan and work with some other older quarterbacks of
Speaker 2: course of my career is like guys that could basically
Speaker 2: say like this is the way I see it and
Speaker 2: communicate that to the you know, the receiver, no matter
Speaker 2: their level of experience. Have you seen that from Jaden
Speaker 2: Like his ability to kind of it's leadership, it's charisma,
Speaker 2: whatever that is and work that relationship with Terry.
Speaker 3: I see it in the way let's stay after, let's
Speaker 3: go through that again. I should have been you.
Speaker 2: Know, those are the responsibilities.
Speaker 3: Yes, and so one of the things that the team
Speaker 3: admires about Jaden from the very beginning was his ability
Speaker 3: to be consistently on the details and so knowing where
Speaker 3: your route was supposed to be, yours was, and so
Speaker 3: as they were all learning it, it wasn't like everybody
Speaker 3: else had three or four years of experience in the
Speaker 3: system before him. He was on the same exact level
Speaker 3: as everybody else learning it. So they were also asking him,
Speaker 3: which is a little different dynamic. But he worked at
Speaker 3: it so hard that they could ask him and he
Speaker 3: would be able to deliver it with the right hand.
Speaker 2: That's cool.
Speaker 1: And Coach, we have to talk about Brian Robinson Junr.
Speaker 1: His impact was felt once again. How important is his
Speaker 1: game and this running game to our overall offense.
Speaker 3: It's the uh, It's not just the size that's that's
Speaker 3: part of it as a bigger back, but there's a
Speaker 3: lot of big backs. It's his ability to either try
Speaker 3: to you know, run you over or the ability to
Speaker 3: try to break you off as they're coming down into
Speaker 3: the contact, his ability to make the two yard run
Speaker 3: into four, the five yard run into eight, you know,
Speaker 3: the now it's a first down, it's eight. And then
Speaker 3: the ability to break a long one like he did
Speaker 3: to set the whole game off on Sunday. That's an
Speaker 3: impactful player. And then the Blitz pick up. All that
Speaker 3: went into that. Like I thought, it was a really
Speaker 3: strong performance.
Speaker 1: Right Brian and coach were headed into the bye week.
Speaker 1: What do you want to see your team achieve, especially
Speaker 1: a very young team, is such a late by week.
Speaker 1: What do you want to see them achieved during this
Speaker 1: by week.
Speaker 3: Number one reset? You know, it's been a you know,
Speaker 3: long stretch for the guys, so it is important to disconnect,
Speaker 3: even if just for a few days, and then as
Speaker 3: we come back in Monday, we'll break back to the
Speaker 3: things we need to improve upon and then we go
Speaker 3: for it. Man Like, coming back into the second half
Speaker 3: of the season's like going to base camp and you
Speaker 3: just go for the next one. You go for the
Speaker 3: next one, And that's what I want to see. But
Speaker 3: there's a lot of digging I have to do still
Speaker 3: about what we want to improve upon. But moren anything,
Speaker 3: coming back as a mindset to go attack.
Speaker 1: And Coach, I can speak for myself, I can speak
Speaker 1: for Logan and the fans when I say we cannot
Speaker 1: wait to see you guys back on that field. Congrats
Speaker 1: on the success you've seen thus far, and we can't
Speaker 1: wait to see the rest of the season.
Speaker 3: We can't either. Man, the guys leave them for a week.
Speaker 3: It's important this time of year, there is this over lining.
Speaker 3: But by the time that week's over, man, we'll be
Speaker 3: chomping to get back.
Speaker 1: Oh, we're ready, Commanded family, We know you are enjoying
Speaker 1: the game plan. However, if you want to see Coach
Speaker 1: and Logan Paul said break down plays in the film room,
Speaker 1: you could check that out on the Commander's YouTube page.
Speaker 1: As always, Logan, our ticket to a win. Are these
Speaker 1: must watch matchups? He has sixty seconds. Let's get right
Speaker 1: to it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Bjon Robinson versus Bobby Wagner, and this is
Speaker 2: gonna be a huge matchup because Jhon Robinson is becoming
Speaker 2: a special player. Man. I know he's drafted as a
Speaker 2: special player, but his ability to catch the football, his
Speaker 2: silky smooth running style, the offense really has run through him.
Speaker 2: In the past couple of weeks and with a rookie quarterback,
Speaker 2: that's gonna be big piece. But Bobby Wagner is an
Speaker 2: outstanding football player I think can match up really well
Speaker 2: here and if he can contain this guy, gonna be
Speaker 2: a good day for the Washingtonmmander.
Speaker 1: We're ninety yards and two touchdowns from Vijohn in the
Speaker 1: last game.
Speaker 2: Next one, dude, Drake London and Marshawn Landimore. Drake London
Speaker 2: to me is kind of playing his way into this
Speaker 2: kind of top ten receiver category. Plays in the slot,
Speaker 2: plays outside, big body. I think our guy Marshawn is
Speaker 2: used to that. Were going against Mike Evans all the time.
Speaker 2: Can't wait to watch this matchup. Is again big big
Speaker 2: chunk of their offen.
Speaker 1: Very familiar with each other. These who as well? All right?
Speaker 2: Last one, Yeah, dude, Jesse Bates and Jaye Daniels. Reason
Speaker 2: Jesse Bates is up here is because he is a
Speaker 2: turnover machine man. His ability to attract and find the
Speaker 2: football especially really is the hard and soul that defense
Speaker 2: need know where he's at all times. And again, our
Speaker 2: guy Jaden Daniels needs to be more a little bit
Speaker 2: more protective of the football. This week two turnovers last week,
Speaker 2: let's even get that to zero goding. This guy's gonna
Speaker 2: be a big part of that.
Speaker 1: Oh Man. Huge matchups to watch in today's game for
Speaker 1: head coach dan Quinn, Logan Paulson, Brian Coper Jr. This
Speaker 1: is the game plan. Let's get this win today and
Speaker 1: of course we'll see y'all next Sunday.
