<v Speaker 1>Command this family.

0:00:01.400 --> 0:00:03.320
<v Speaker 2>It is week seven, that means we're taking on the

0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Caroline of Panthers.

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Here. Coach Dan quinns fitted.

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Us and talks about that matchup, and it's alumni week.

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:12.040
<v Speaker 2>That's right, Darryl greens Jersey is being retired at the game.

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 2>We talk about Washington's winning legacy in the show.

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>All that more on the game plan.

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Welcoming in our head Coach dan Quinn. Now, coach you

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>and Logan will be getting to the firm room a

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 2>little later in the show. However, looking back at that

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Baltimore game, what did you see from the film from

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 2>the Baltimore game that you guys can grow on this week?

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think coming out of it, obviously we're been

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 3>out of shape, we're disappointed to go. But to a man,

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 3>what I heard in the locker, man, we're we're gonna

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 3>learn from this, and I think that's what you want

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 3>to make sure you do, that you learn the lessons

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 3>that apply to you. And so it was our first

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 3>time good heavyweight fight, and I want us to be

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 3>very comfortable in those environments, and so I'm glad that

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 3>we had that one. We know where we stood, we're

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 3>to improve upon and that's really important to know. Everybody

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 3>says that, but what do you actually do about it?

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 3>And so getting into this week, you know, you get

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 3>to relentlessly go after some of the things that you

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.039
<v Speaker 3>want to get better at. So that's the message coming

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 3>out of it, said, we need to find that next

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 3>gear when it comes time to go, get back in it,

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 3>go close it, go make the play that next gear.

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:20.479
<v Speaker 1>That's that's a big deal.

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 4>That's going to make you feel good though, coach to

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 4>know that the guys are all kind of wired that

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.119
<v Speaker 4>same way, like they want to get better, they want

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 4>to be more competitive, Like what's I mean, it's so new,

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 4>but that's got to like just be such an optimistic

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 4>thing for you.

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And like we were not going in there to

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 3>try to you know, hang in, Like we're going there

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.680
<v Speaker 3>to win it, and we're going to be aggressive and

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 3>bold in our shots. But we did learn and we're

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 3>not there yet, but that doesn't mean we're not there.

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 3>And so it's week seven and we got a lot

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 3>of work to do between seven and eighteen. And I

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 3>told the team, how would we do seven weeks? How

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 3>would our team today do against the team from seven

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 3>weeks ago? And to a man, we say, we would

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 3>absolutely kick the You know what, the week team won,

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 3>I said, well, that's progress that has to happen again.

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 3>And so seven more weeks from now, ten weeks from

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 3>now has to be able to whoop this team. And

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 3>that comes from finding the things to improve upon. And

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 3>we've got a tough group of guys and I'm proud

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 3>of the fight, but it still there's lots of work

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 3>to get done.

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>And coach, you said, it's only week seven. It's a

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 2>very long season, and this front end of the season

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 2>has been a lot of road trips and all that.

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>How have you kept the guys locked in up until

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>this point?

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 3>We really, honestly like, don't think about the season and

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 3>think of like the military when they're undeployment and they

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 3>have to go away. You just have to focus on

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 3>the mission that you're on, and that for us is

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 3>that game for that week. And so we'll let you

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 3>guys talk about other things down the road and divisions

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 3>and all those things, but for us, it just comes

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 3>down to how good can we get and it's just

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 3>this week to go get it on and play our

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 3>way and our style and capture that for the team

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 3>and for our fans. So every time we get it

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 3>on like that's how we do it.

0:02:58.120 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 4>That's it. It'd be super helpful because you go from

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 4>like the emotional high and you can kind of flush

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 4>it and you're on to the next one. Right with Carolina,

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 4>And again, Carolina is a team in the NFL and

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 4>they're a competitive ball club. But it's it's got to

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 4>be nice to be siloed like that.

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we just there's so many things we know we

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 3>can do better, and so that's what we want to

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 3>like aggressively go after man to say what are the things,

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 3>how do we do it?

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>What does that look like to get better?

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 3>And so seeing the guys that practice, their connection, their

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 3>willingness to put in the work to do it, that's

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 3>where a lot of this toughness comes from. Logan, like

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 3>they're doing it on the practice field. To bring it

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 3>into the game. It's not just hey man, let's crank

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 3>it up. It's game day.

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>So like it's every time we battle.

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>And talk about it, be about it, right, that's right,

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 2>And coach the Panthers made a pivot to Andy Dalton.

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 2>He will be the quarterback that you will be facing.

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>He's probably the most tenured quarterback we faced so far.

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 2>How do you prepare for a guy that has so

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 2>much longevity in this league.

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's really got a remarkable like consistency about the

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 3>decision making. Think of a little bit like the point

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 3>guard who knows and can see things that others can't see.

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 3>It's when to speed up again and sublitz, you know,

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 3>is when to you know, throw it to a certain

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 3>leverage onto somebody. They get him outside the pocket on keepers.

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 3>They've got a very good run game to balance that out.

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 1>And so.

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 3>Having a veteran you know that's able to step in

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 3>in the moments that you need him to is very important.

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 3>And uh I still Brice's excellent player. And however, they

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:24.719
<v Speaker 3>want to manage their guys, but alt Dalton specifically really

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 3>has a full command of everything.

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>And that's what you see when you study to take.

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 4>Another thing that comes out when you watch the film

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 4>to me anyway, is the offensive line seeps to be playing

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 4>pretty good ball. You mentioned they want to lean on them.

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.599
<v Speaker 4>Running the football at tubehoverd has been pretty efficient, you know,

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 4>maybe not the total yardage, but pretty efficient. How do

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 4>you handle a group that's playing well like that? And

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 4>then a running back, that's that could be productive.

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, anytime a runner to me is over five yards

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 3>and he's at like five at to carry man he's

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 3>doing work.

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Is man and game.

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.359
<v Speaker 3>He plays tough, He's got a one cut style that

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 3>can get downhill in a hurry. Got a lot of

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 3>respect for the especially the interior of their offensive line.

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 3>They added two new guards during free agency this season

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.160
<v Speaker 3>and they are strong and so the two of them

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.719
<v Speaker 3>inside zone scheme, get onto people, get to the next level.

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 3>The balance of the run and the play pass. That's

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 3>where we have to be at our best.

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.799
<v Speaker 2>And coach you mentioned those interior linemen, wellf we're missing

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 2>an interior linement on the defensive side of the ball.

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Jonathan Allen a big piece. How do you supplement that loss?

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, that's a tough blow for sure, and John's

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.919
<v Speaker 3>got so much experience and toughness to add to the group.

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Johnny Newton will be the one that will take on,

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, a good bit of that work, and Johnny's

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.279
<v Speaker 3>ready to do that. You know, he missed some time

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 3>in the offseason and in the first part of training camp,

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 3>but now that the reps are coming, there'll be some

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 3>on the job training for him. But this is a

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 3>player I'm telling you, man like, he is made.

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Of the right stuff.

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 3>He is tough, He's going to play nasty and physical,

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 3>and the more reps he's going to play, the better

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 3>he's going to get. So he will take on a

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.599
<v Speaker 3>good bit of that and then it will that Sphil

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 3>will take on to some is that as we go,

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.840
<v Speaker 3>but definitely a tough blow for us.

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>How do you help those guys out?

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 4>I mean they're young players, you know in experience to

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.040
<v Speaker 4>a certain extent, I think there's some things you can

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 4>do schematically, like do you lean into that this week

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 4>going against Carolina?

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you have to, And I think what you want

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 3>to make sure you do and let me you know

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 3>this firsthand. Do the things that you can do really well?

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Sure?

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:20.799
<v Speaker 3>And you want to start from there and then build

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.719
<v Speaker 3>around that. And so that doesn't mean you know twelve

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 3>different fronts. That means these are the things that we

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 3>know we can feature. These are the stones, the movements,

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 3>the blitzes that man, I could hit that one ten

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.039
<v Speaker 3>out of ten and aggressively go get it. And for

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 3>every position that's the case, but especially when you're working

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 3>in some people that you know are making their mark,

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.159
<v Speaker 3>You've got to be able to deliver on the things

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:42.159
<v Speaker 3>that they do really well.

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Seem like that when in Arizona was a little sweeter

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 2>because of the history that some of our coaching staff

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 2>and players had with that team. Now we're playing another

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 2>team where some of our top defenders are starters have

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 2>history with the Carolina Panthers. Is there a little extra

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.360
<v Speaker 2>motivation for those guys as a team because everybody is

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 2>so close to go out there and get on against

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>these forman teams.

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 3>You know what, it's more teammate to teammate and sort

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 3>of guys like for Frankie or Jeremy certainly a lot

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 3>of teammates that they've still played with and battled with,

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 3>and as that goes on, there's a lot of fun

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 3>that goes with that. You know, you've been in the

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 3>locker room in the fights with those guys and then

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 3>you get to go play against them and they'll be

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 3>a little talking back and forth at times, but by

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 3>and large, my experience been lots of respect. You know,

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 3>when you go to play against somebody that you played

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 3>you have so much history and gave it. You're all

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 3>there and it's mostly the teammate to teammate's that's the connection,

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 3>and that's the bond that players have with one another.

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 3>They'll always be you know, guys that played together at

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 3>whether it's Carolina or Washington wherever that is, and that

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 3>mutual respect to me is always something that's kind of

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:47.239
<v Speaker 3>fun as the season goes along.

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, so obviously that's the defense side of football.

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 4>Offensive side, like they kind of play what I would

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 4>say like a bend but don't break kind of defensive structure.

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 4>How do you kind of make sure Jane Daniel's ready

0:07:58.400 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 4>for the challenges coming in there.

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Number One, it's the way that we attack and that

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 3>has to be just the downpour of aggression, the run game,

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 3>the play pass, the way we attack using tempo, not

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 3>using tempo, different personnel packages to go. There's so many

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 3>spaces for us to get stronger, and that's been the

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 3>goal for us this week to go into this game to.

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Play like us.

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 3>And we got lots of regard for Carolina, their staff,

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 3>who they are, the players there, but ultimately we've got

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 3>to get the preparation right so we can absolutely let

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 3>it rip and do our thing at full speed, no

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 3>hesitation and absolutely going after it you.

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.439
<v Speaker 4>Say, play like us, like offensively? What does that mean

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 4>for you? You know what I'm saying, Like when you're saying

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.439
<v Speaker 4>this is what Commander's offense looks like.

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean? I would say it's attacking. There's

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:45.359
<v Speaker 1>tempo involved.

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 3>There's an excellent balance of run and pass right that

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 3>we get to that space to go or run game

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 3>and play pass and owning the times of possession. And

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.599
<v Speaker 3>we're usually at our best logan when runs and completions

0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 3>are over fifty five.

0:08:58.880 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>We've had a number of.

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 3>Games that are in space where a quick game or

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 3>a screen you know that you know is a bubble

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 3>that gains five or six yards, and if that was

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 3>an extended handoff, that would be the same. So I

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.199
<v Speaker 3>don't always think of it as just runs. Sure to

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 3>think of it as runs and completions. When you add

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.319
<v Speaker 3>those two together and you're in the fifties, now you're

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 3>starting to talk about time of possessions and third downs

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.079
<v Speaker 3>and the you know, owning the clock and if we

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 3>can do that over and over again, our guys are

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 3>really tough minded, and when it comes time to go

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 3>close into that space, we've got to be able to

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 3>do that.

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.319
<v Speaker 2>And it's all about taking advantage of weaknesses right, And

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 2>it seems like the Panthers really struggle against the run.

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Our run expressing attack has been a phenomenal and we

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 2>do not know if Brian Robinson Junior will be playing

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 2>or not as of yet. However, how can we be

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:41.959
<v Speaker 2>effective on the run through the ground.

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 3>I think when you talk about, you know, a run game,

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, having the versatility is a big piece of it.

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 3>Gap schemes and zone schemes and who's involved and how

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 3>do you do it. That's where you start. And so

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 3>we haven't shown all the things that we do. But

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 3>having Brian you know, in the rotation along with Austin

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.319
<v Speaker 3>and j Mack, the three of them together really.

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:06.319
<v Speaker 1>Puts us at our best.

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 3>And it's the tight ends, it's the receivers blocking downfield.

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 3>So and say it's it's not as much of you know,

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.079
<v Speaker 3>kind of how they do it. It's really comes down

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 3>to how we do it and our commitment to that

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.719
<v Speaker 3>and our physicality that we want to play with. That's

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.959
<v Speaker 3>why I keep coming back to us. There's so many

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 3>areas for us to improve, and we're absolutely digging in

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 3>as hard as we can to.

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Go do that, coach.

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 2>This weekend, we're retiring Darryl Green's jersey. And one of

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.079
<v Speaker 2>the first things you and Anna Peters did when coming

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 2>through this building, you guys said, Darryl Green, come in,

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:35.840
<v Speaker 2>You spoke with him, you walked with him. Why was

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 2>that so important to do one of the first things

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 2>you did when.

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 1>You got here. Yeah.

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 3>I think when you're looking at an organization, you're looking

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 3>for standards, and Darryl's standard as a ballplayer and as

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 3>a man are so high and so from Super Bowl

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 3>champion to Hall of Fame player to Walter Payton, you know,

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 3>NFL Man of the Year. So when you have your

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 3>on the field world in order and you're off the

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.319
<v Speaker 3>field ward world in order, and those two things intersect,

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 3>there's some pretty cool things. And I don't think this

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 3>one will ever be broken. But nineteen consecutive years with

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.439
<v Speaker 3>an interception, Yeah, come on, what are we talking about?

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 3>So that's amazing as a skill position player, and so standards,

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 3>I would say, is the biggest reason.

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Were you a fan of him?

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:19.679
<v Speaker 4>Like when you're watching football, I.

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 3>Was, and you know, I think all of us remember

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:27.320
<v Speaker 3>the speed, but there's also a physicality that he played

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 3>with and that doesn't always happen at that position in

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 3>our league, and he definitely did it. But I think

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 3>the standard you know, how he played is what I

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.959
<v Speaker 3>remember that what set him apart.

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>And coach, I think it's so cool walk around this building.

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 2>You see so many legends. You got Logan walking around Santana, Fred.

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 2>You have all of these guys out here that played

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 2>the game at a high level and that can teach

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 2>these guys some good things. How valuable has that been

0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 2>for you as a coach coming into this building and

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 2>seeing how the legends support this team.

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's huge. And to me, it starts with Doug Williams.

0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 3>And you haven't felt support unless you felt support from Doug,

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 3>Like he has your back and you feel it and

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.960
<v Speaker 3>you know it. And so to be able to walk

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.959
<v Speaker 3>in news office or discuss some things or talk about

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.199
<v Speaker 3>something with him is so important. And so to me

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.600
<v Speaker 3>having him here on a regular basis that I get

0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 3>to go talk to about it. And let's be honest.

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 3>To know where you want to go, you also have

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 3>to know where you've been. And so I guess an

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 3>important thing. We know where we want to get to.

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 3>But it's not like we're doing something that's never been

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 3>done before here, and so we want to make sure

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:37.520
<v Speaker 3>we can capture any information, any nugget that any of

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 3>these guys that could share what was the reason, why

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.960
<v Speaker 3>did that happen? What was there one thing that took

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 3>place in your career that if we could share that

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 3>with this generation of player, then maybe they're able to

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 3>create their own standard about what it looks like moving forward.

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's a really cool thing to connect

0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 3>the past players with the present ones. And what better

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 3>weekend to do it than one that we're on and

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 3>one of the best that's ever done it.

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sir, coach, that insight and game is very valuable,

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 2>and your insight and game is always valuableas for taking time.

0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 1>With this coach, good luck today.

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, thanks guys, Commands family, We know you are

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 2>enjoying the game plan. However, if you want to see

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Coach and Logan Paul said break down plays in the

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 2>film room, you could check that out on the Commander's

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 2>YouTube page. So Logan, very special weekend this weekend, alumni weekend.

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 2>We're retiring Darryl Greene Jersey, So why not end the

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.080
<v Speaker 2>show talking about our winning legacy that is our king

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.920
<v Speaker 2>to a victory is our winning legacy. So let's start

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 2>with some legends that we love so much. First up,

0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 2>London Fletcher.

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 4>The captain man. And you know, I didn't know who

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 4>London Fletcher was until I came and played here, but

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 4>watching his professionalism, watching how well like what excellent looked

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.719
<v Speaker 4>like on an everyday basis, London Fletcher is for sure

0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 4>a legend here. It should be in the Hall of Fame.

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm really excited they get to work with them now,

0:13:58.200 --> 0:13:59.200
<v Speaker 4>and then we get to work with them together.

0:13:59.240 --> 0:13:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's so great.

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I think I get to play with him, like you

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.079
<v Speaker 2>get all three of these guys. However, I've got to

0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 2>work with him in the studio, and man, he takes

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.440
<v Speaker 2>his job so seriously. I can only imagine how he

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 2>was on that football field. Then our guy missed the cool,

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.679
<v Speaker 2>the goldst guy probably ever met, mister eight and nine

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:14.200
<v Speaker 2>tanam Loss So.

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 4>I grew up in California, obviously, and it wasn't like a

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.319
<v Speaker 4>local fan of the team, but like from afar Man,

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 4>just what he's able to do with the football in

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 4>his hands was so unique for the time, like the explosiveness,

0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 4>the dynamic playmaker and then coming to the commander to

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 4>the Redskins at the time and being like he was

0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 4>the coolest guy you've ever met, right, Yeah, the wost

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.880
<v Speaker 4>guy I remember, just the kindest human being and so like, again,

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 4>excellent football player, but a nextlee human beings.

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 2>And transcended the game. Guys like him, or is why

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 2>the games played today? Three Hill isn't around if it's

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.960

<v Speaker 4>Captain Chaos and Captain Kass to me again like I

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 4>got to play with the same with him, but I

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 4>was a fan in California of him because of what

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 4>he was able to do with the football and how

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 4>he kind of changed his position. He kind of said,

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 4>Titans now can catch the football, we can block, we

0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 4>can line up at wide receiver, we can do all

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 4>sorts of different things. And he was to me one

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 4>of those first guys to get I'd done. And then

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, thankful to him. I got a broken nose now, right,

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 4>He's the guy that did it for me. So again, awesome, dude,
