WEBVTT - MAKE DALLAS PAY! | HC Dan Quinn Previews Commanders vs. Cowboys | The Gameplan | Washington Commanders

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into the game plan logan our last game of

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the regular season and it's against the Cowboys. We catch

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:08.440
<v Speaker 1>up with hit coach Dan Quinn and talk about today's matchup.

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:09.959
<v Speaker 2>And you know how we in the show. It's the

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 2>must watch matchups.

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 1>We in the show with that against the Dallas Cowboys,

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>all that walks on the game plan.

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Welcome you in.

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Head coach Dan Quinn. Clinched the playoffs. That's something some

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>people never get to do. You did it in your

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>first year. How great does that feel? And what does

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>that say about what this team's doing this year?

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.959
<v Speaker 3>Well, this is a fun team to coach, and they

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 3>are tough. They battle for it in a lot of ways.

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.559
<v Speaker 3>And in this game, I thought, what a great demonstration

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 3>of brotherhood of guys stepping into spaces to make plays.

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 2>We knew this would be a hard game.

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.160
<v Speaker 3>We knew Atlanta was absolutely back to the wall going

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 3>for it, and so we were going to have a

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 3>five quarter mindset going into it, and sure enough, it

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 3>went into that extra session. Sometimes we just say that,

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 3>but this we meant it.

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and you've you've done it a couple of times

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 4>in it was Seattle Atlanta. What are some similarities with

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 4>those teams, maybe in this one that kind of say, hey,

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 4>this team or the structure of this team is built

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 4>the right way.

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 3>For me being along the journey with everybody and to

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.839
<v Speaker 3>see the leaders lead and have high standards logan about

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 3>how you practice, how you meet, how you do walkthroughs,

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 3>and those things matter, man. They carry over into the

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:29.119
<v Speaker 3>games and knowing that they're willing to make the sacrifices

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 3>that's needed to play well and teammate to teammate. You've

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 3>seen that what it looks like, what it feels like.

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 3>And so there's a lot of players on this team

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 3>that sacrifice a lot knowing that they're willing to give

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:42.119
<v Speaker 3>it up for one another.

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>And coach, we talk a lot about those winning time moments. Yes,

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>so you're heading into overtime at home, what is your

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>message to these guys to get their mindset right for

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>that overtime drab.

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, going out when you're in overtime, obviously you

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 3>want the ball. So we're going to take that first.

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 3>If you get a chance to go and score, and

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 3>that's the game. So we're going to be pretty aggressive

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 3>into that spot if we had our chances to be

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 3>and I thought jaden Man in that drive alone was

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 3>just on it and like all the way down the

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.920
<v Speaker 3>field and we took a time out at the end,

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 3>I could see him and Marcus talking their communication together

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 3>and an absolute rip to Zach. So those winning time

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 3>moments we practice him a lot, knowing that you know

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 3>what could happen, what's the scenario, what's the situation, and

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 3>being comfortable in those spots that's a big deal.

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 4>And so again you probably practiced two minutes quite a

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 4>bit third down, you know he's second and long. But

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 4>how much do you talk about or practice overtime scenario

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 4>because I was thinking back to when I played, and

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if we we talked about I don't

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 4>if we did it that much.

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 3>We did it two weeks ago going into Philadelphia, and

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 3>we did an overtime as part of our two minute

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 3>at the end to say this isn't fast. You know,

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 3>this is irregular because in the overtime ten minute period,

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 3>there's a two minute that would come up at the end,

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 3>just like a quarter, you get two time out. There's

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 3>no challenge for me, only from the booth. So going

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 3>through those will be good and in a few weeks

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 3>will adjust those guidelines for what it means in the playoffs,

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 3>because it's not the same regulations in the regular season

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 3>as is in the postseason. So we'll wait till then

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 3>until we discuss those. But yeah, we stay on a

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:19.119
<v Speaker 3>pretty regular case.

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:20.679
<v Speaker 2>That fantastic.

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's we just want the guys feel comfortable in

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 3>those spots and.

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Culture as we turn the page to today's game. Dallas

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>a tough place to play, as you know, what is

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the biggest key to finding success here in Dallas?

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:33.959
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's a It is a tough environment. The

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 3>fans are fantastic in Dallas. They long time tradition, you know,

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 3>there with the team, So it can get loud, and

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 3>that if you can handle the noise, you know, that's

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 3>then it's an even playing field. And so that's usually

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 3>the trick when you play at a stadium that can

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 3>get rocking to go, you gotta be able to handle

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 3>the noise.

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 4>And so much of that is probably predicated on being

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 4>effective offensively and you're going to be quiet, right like?

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 4>And how important is that going to be.

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 3>In different snap counts and different cadence is and different

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 3>silent counts. And the offensive line is really at the

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 3>front of that, and they have their ways, different silent ways,

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 3>and so.

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll work through that all through the week.

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 3>Knowing that there'll be some times when you know, no cadence,

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 3>no clap everything on socier and we'll need that. But

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 3>like I said, the offensive line, quarterbacks, everybody, we have

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 3>our ways and we do that sometimes and walk through.

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.919
<v Speaker 3>There is no verbal communication, you know on these next

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 3>you know plays, and so we try to make it

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 3>loud at practice, but nothing can simulate, you know, an

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 3>in game environment.

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 4>So when I was with you in Atlanta, you guys

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.280
<v Speaker 4>did something and I always credit it to Matt Ryan,

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 4>but maybe it's yours where he would whisper for walkthrough,

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 4>So yes, he'd whisper the cadence, he'd whisper the snapcount.

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 4>Is that is that something you've brought from him? Or

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 4>who gave you that? Greg nap Yeah, Greg nap Man.

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 3>And so make the people listen, make them engage to

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 3>pay attention. And you can see it on TV at

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 3>a stadium when everybody is putting their helmet into the huddle,

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 3>not this way, but really trying to dig in and listen.

0:04:58.080 --> 0:04:59.919
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know if there's one, you know stadium this

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 3>ticks out one to another for you where you had

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 3>to put your help and those are ones that you

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 3>have to be ready for that and Dallas is one

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 3>of those spots.

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 1>It seems like every week we watch our defense and

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>they continue to improve. Big, big moments are happening. Qualm

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Martin's an interception to start the game was huge. How

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>can our defense continue to approve today?

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:19.239
<v Speaker 2>Against Dallas?

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 3>We thought, you know, getting a fast start would be

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 3>a big deal for us, and so they decided to

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.600
<v Speaker 3>take the ball talking about Atlanta to you know, on

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 3>the opening drive and so to get the interception early

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 3>and then go get a touchdown, we call that making

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.359
<v Speaker 3>them pay. You know, here's the takeaway and then you

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 3>go get you know, the touchdown and get points off

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:37.160
<v Speaker 3>of it.

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 2>So that was an important start for us.

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 3>That's starting fast, and anytime you can get that kind

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 3>of momentum going early, that's a big deal for your team.

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 4>And so not easy to get the interception, but you

0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 4>had two sacks, which again, like I think they're really

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.479
<v Speaker 4>cool plays because the coverage is supporting the rush and

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 4>the rush is kind of coming to life. How do

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 4>you kind of build off some of that stuff that

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:56.800
<v Speaker 4>the guys did well.

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.479
<v Speaker 3>I love the use of the stunts and game. And

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 3>two of the sacks caused fumbles and we didn't get

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.719
<v Speaker 3>the ball. And so I love when we hit it

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.720
<v Speaker 3>in a sack because anytime you knock the ball out,

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 3>that is a sack. And so both Dante and Dornce

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 3>both got it, and so we got to make sure

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 3>that you can, you know, finish that play with getting

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:20.359
<v Speaker 3>the ball out, but having rushers, you know, when the

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 3>space is there, beat Chip plans do things. We'll need

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 3>you be at our best again, you know at Dallas and.

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Coach you got Jonathan Allen back.

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>And on pregame, our pregame show, we have the camera

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>on the field and we see this big scrum, this breakdown,

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.359
<v Speaker 1>and in the middle of it is Jonathan Allen getting

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the boys right.

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:37.720
<v Speaker 2>His first game back. How important is it to have

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 2>him back and how did he help this team?

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's honestly, it's great to have him back because

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.039
<v Speaker 3>you're adding another player with that type of style and

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 3>attitude that he can bring to the team. And so

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 3>we had a certain you know, amount of snaps that

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, we allotted him to play in this game.

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 3>As he's on his way back and we'll do, you know,

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 3>a little bit more as we're going into Dallas. But

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.600
<v Speaker 3>just having his presence back and his strength back, Yeah,

0:06:58.640 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 3>it's really cool.

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 4>And you know, I think it kind of allowed you

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.479
<v Speaker 4>to use some guys in some different ways. You know,

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 4>Praying gets to play defensive end, Holmes comes in, plays

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 4>in and just some different packages. And I'm sure that

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 4>flexibility is helpful, right, And I think his presence helps

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 4>out helps him.

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 3>It does because it does allow you to mix and

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 3>match when you want to load up on the run

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 3>or change it up into a certain group to pass.

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 3>And so having him back, you know, because he got

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 3>injured against Baltimore, so it's been a long time.

0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 2>So to get him back in the in the rhythm. Man,

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>he's he's really worked.

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Hard and Coach, We've talked to other players and they've

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>said that his presence was still felt even when he

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>wasn't around. How impressed were you by John than because

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, this is your first time getting to work

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>with him, seeing him and how he handled being injured.

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 2>And still stay so involved with this team.

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he had a very good demeanor throughout and oftentimes

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 3>when you're injured there's a really high and low emotional

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 3>you know cost that goes with that.

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 2>You know, you feel detached.

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 3>From the team when you're not playing, and so the

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 3>fact that there was a hook at the end to

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 3>say you can come back, that was a big deal

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 3>because oftentimes that injury can be season ending and that's

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 3>sometimes the hardest one for a ball players would know

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.960
<v Speaker 3>as a teammate er, this season's done. You don't get

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 3>to come back. And he had a sense that this

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 3>was a crew that you know, had a lot to

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 3>play for, and so having that hook out there to say,

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 3>if you hit all these markers, you know, then you

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 3>got a shot to come do it, and man, he

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 3>hit them all and then some.

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>And coach Logan touched on how our defensive guys have

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>all been ready to that next man up mentality, but

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>on the offense we see the same thing. C rot

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>all the media guys are stepping up. As a coach,

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 1>how do you keep these guys ready and prepared.

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:35.560
<v Speaker 2>For when the numbers called?

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, we have one standard and so if Logan

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 3>was a tight end, it's not just the three guys

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 3>that are up, you know, Cole Turner also has to

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 3>be ready and so everybody in that room has the

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 3>responsibility ready. You just don't know when your numbers called.

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 3>So whether that's a running back at offensive line, it's

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 3>not just the forty eight that are playing. We have

0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 3>a seventy man roster, including all the practice squad, and

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 3>so every one of those seventy if called upon, they

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 3>have to be ready to deliver. So they get reps

0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.200
<v Speaker 3>at practice, they're quizzed in the same way. So there's

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 3>no red shirting here. You've got to be ready. Not

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 3>to say everybody plays, but you do have to be ready.

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 4>Is there anybody that surprised you with how they've been

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.320
<v Speaker 4>able to stay ready because it's tough.

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 3>It's really hard. And Chris Rodriguez comes to mind where

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.559
<v Speaker 3>he started off, you know, practice squad, not a lot

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 3>of reps to go, so he would be one that

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 3>absolutely jumps out to me. On the defensive side, I

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 3>would say Michael Walker, although he hasn't played a lot,

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 3>he's done a lot on teams. He practices, he's got command,

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.719
<v Speaker 3>he can make the calls to go. That would be

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 3>another one. So Carl Davis thought, and you know, three

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 3>turns for him to come up off the practice squad

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 3>played square and strong, and so there's a number of

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.199
<v Speaker 3>players that you know, when called upon, they're really ready

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 3>to deliver. And it's a big responsibility. And so I

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 3>don't view our team as a team and then a

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 3>practice squad.

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 2>It's just one roster.

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't differentiate that some are just inactive for the games.

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.520
<v Speaker 1>And I think one thing that's probably surprised a lot

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 1>of people was the strength of zach Ertz and what

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>he's been able to do this he's especially how he's

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.679
<v Speaker 1>finished this season. What are you seeing from him that

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>we don't see on the field, in the locker rooms,

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:22.680
<v Speaker 1>in the weight rooms. What is the work he's doing

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to be able to still play at such a high level.

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:24.959
<v Speaker 2>You know what.

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.680
<v Speaker 3>He's been a man on a mission for the whole time,

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 3>and last season didn't go well for him. Wasn't sure

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 3>where his career was even going to go and would

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 3>he be able to play still, And so coming here

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 3>took a leap of faith and Adam and myself, but

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 3>he also really put the work in. We knew he

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 3>was a good route runner, and would he have a

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:47.680
<v Speaker 3>role in the red zone and on third down? And

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 3>he did, and then some and built it more into

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 3>the offense and more, and he's got great standards about him.

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 3>He's been an excellent teammate to these other tight ends

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 3>to the quarterback, and so he is really taken advantage

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.960
<v Speaker 3>of this op and really made an impact on our team.

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.080
<v Speaker 4>But you can tell that with how he runs routes

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:07.840
<v Speaker 4>and his preparation all that stuff. But the thing that

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 4>surprised me in the game was, I don't think you

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 4>had fifty six yards in him still like like that.

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 4>So it's great to see him kind of make that happen, you.

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Know what I mean?

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we uh, we give him a little, you know while,

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:26.439
<v Speaker 3>but his presence is felt. He's got honestly command like

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 3>you logan, really like he can think like a quarterback.

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:29.959
<v Speaker 3>Why is my split here? What if I was out here?

0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 3>He can see the game from the view of his

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 3>helmet differently, and not everybody can do that, but he can.

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 3>He has a wide vision, man, He sees a lot

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 3>and he's able to articulate it be in the right spots.

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Very quarterback friendly, very.

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Quarterback friendly coast is crazy to say this, but we

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 1>are at our regular season finale, lesson with a season,

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 1>what has been your message to the guys to finish

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 1>out this season strong before the playoffs.

0:11:54.960 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 3>We fight the matters on man all one day.

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:02.079
<v Speaker 4>You're gonna get it.

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 2>I feel love it. I love the vestage. I need

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.640
<v Speaker 2>it every time you try to sneak that one into real.

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.840
<v Speaker 2>So what about this week, Coach.

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 3>Let's just you know, roll the ball out there and

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 3>see what happened. We got we left a lot uh

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 3>on the field, we thought in our last game, and

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 3>so we feel like we got a number of things

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.320
<v Speaker 3>for us to work on. And if we play like

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 3>we're capable of, then anybody anywhere, anytime. But we got

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 3>to work to do to be able to you know,

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 3>play like we're capable that nobody has to put the

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.079
<v Speaker 3>kpe on. But we got to do what we do

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 3>collectively really well.

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Coach, a huge game today. Can't wait to see you

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.080
<v Speaker 1>guys play. But before we do that, you and Logan

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 1>got to get in that field. We'll appreciate your coach,

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 1>all right, thanks guys.

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Commanded family, We know you are enjoying the game plan.

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 1>However, if you want to see Coach and Logan Paul

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 1>said break down plays in the film room, you could

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 1>check that out on the Commander's YouTube page.

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Logan is always our ticket to a win. Are these

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 2>must watch masters?

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>And you only got like thirty seconds, So I'm gonna give.

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 2>You one, brother. It's the very first one right here. Yeah.

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 2>I love this.

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 4>Michael Parsons versus the offensive line, And to me, this

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:12.839
<v Speaker 4>is maybe the thing that makes the game when you

0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 4>look at the first match of this guy, obviously defensive

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 4>Player of the Year caliber player, but they moved him

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.440
<v Speaker 4>all around the front. He played in and he played tackle,

0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 4>play knows and everybody had to kind of find a

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 4>way in a one on one matchup to deal with him.

0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.560
<v Speaker 4>Can Cliff, can they work on a technique scheme to

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 4>manage a sky because if they can, it's gonna help

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 4>Jane Daniel stay upright and deliver that football down the field.

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.280
<v Speaker 1>All oys will be on Mark Michael Parson's and this

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>matchup for the last time of the regular season for
