Also, man my Man, 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:20.880 Dianmy Brown, he was out there looking good. And you 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:23.720 know the defense. I love those guys defensive front. They 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:25.480 were in the backfield of the New York Jets. Make 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.360 us of plays. I love watching what I saw, Love 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:29.320 what I saw in practice. 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.760 Yeah, you're worried about that pass rush. You saw it 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.279 today in a first go against somebody. It's something we're 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:42.120 going to talk about today on Booth Review. Welcome into 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:46.839 this exclusive preview edition of Booth Review. I'm Bram Weinstein, 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.520 play by play voice of the Commanders with the legendary 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.199 linebacker London Fletcher joins me in the booth for all 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.160 of the games. Will be joined by Logan Pulsen this year. 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.520 But this year, London, you and I are going to 0:00:56.560 --> 0:01:00.160 be doing a podcast together. We're doing it today off 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.560 of the joint practice with the Jets. So it's our 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.400 little warm up. This is our preseason for the regular season, 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.679 I'm doing a podcast together because we're gonna be doing 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.240 one every Monday after every game. 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.760 Yeah, I'm looking forward to this, you know, just to 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.200 be able to kind of review the game, you know, 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.480 talk about what we see from our dvantage point in 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.800 the booth. And it's exciting, man, you know, the whole 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:27.400 podcast epidemic, so to speak. I'm looking forward to doing 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:28.640 this with you. I know we're gonna have a lot 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:29.039 of fun. 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.720 It's gonna be fun. August twenty sixth as we're going 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:34.320 to debut the first official one, which will be after 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.120 the last preseason games. We'll be getting into cuts. We'll 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:38.920 have seen all of the preseason, but we wanted to 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.120 do a special preview one because we're up in New 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.479 York with the team. We just got to go see 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.199 the joint practice today against the Jets. Unfortunately, the weather 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.240 was awful. It was pouring the first hour of it 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.040 and then drizzled throughout the rest of it. That led 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.360 to the Jets not even putting Aaron Rodgers out there, 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.760 so we didn't get to see Aaron Rodgers against the defense. 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.520 Let me just get your general takeaway of what kind 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:01.560 of stood out to you today. 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.200 Yeah, you know, the first thing you mentioned the weather, 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.800 and with it being a consistent rain throughout the practice, 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:13.720 at times pouring rain, I thought ball security was great, 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:15.960 you know, all things considered. I didn't see a lot 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.160 of balls on the ground, a lot of fumbles or 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:22.040 drop pass and things like that center QB exchange. Those 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.880 are things that you concern yourself with anytime you have 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.239 weather issues. So from that standpoint, I thought, I thought 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.040 the teams, both teams handled that well. 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.640 Just give me your general sense of Jayden Daniels. What 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.560 did you see today and what was the first time 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.240 he's been up against another opponent. 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.080 Well, you know, just looking at the way they started 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.000 off the practice. They started that period off with like 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.440 a seven on seven period and they were going against 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.359 a lot of man man coverage against the New York 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.600 Jets and Jay and I thought was on time and 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.280 on target with a lot of the passes. He had 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.600 a beautiful deep ball throw down the sideline to the 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.720 dam Brown and Diamy made a one hand to catch 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.640 the ball. Accuracy, the ball play where you wanted it 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.000 to be, I thought him And first pass was to 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.760 you know, zach Ertz. Nice pass, Zach has been a 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:13.240 great target for Jayden. You can see him being like 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.640 a quarterback's best friend. Him and his knowledge of this 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:17.760 offense is starting to shine a show. 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:18.480 So I was. 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.760 I was impressed with the way Jayden performed, especially in 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.800 that let's call a seven h seventh period where there's 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.280 no pass rus things like that, where you truly just 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:31.160 working on your chemistry and your time in with your receivers. 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.480 When it got into eleven on eleven, at least early, 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.680 from what I saw, and I saw honestly, more of 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:37.880 they were on separate fields, So I actually saw more 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.760 of the first team defense than I did of the 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.040 first team offense. But from what I did see from 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.200 Daniels and from what I kind of heard and gleaned 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.880 from everyone else who was paying attention, the offense collectively 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.600 as a whole had a hard time moving the ball 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.520 here early. Again, that goes back to I think the 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.320 offensive line is shuffling things around. This is all new, 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.119 and we had an opportunity to talk to Cliff Kingsbury, 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.000 you know, a few days ago, and he is open 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.560 saying we're not gonna show anything, right, Yeah, we're doing 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:04.240 And I think that that's part of this here, So 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:08.000 I wonder how you view that knowing they're not really 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.440 they don't want to show anybody what they want to 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.480 be a secret. I don't I don't blame them. No 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.440 one knows what their formations are gonna be, No one 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:15.960 knows what kind offense they're gonna run. 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.200 But you saw, and I don't want to say too 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.800 much because I did see a couple of things where 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.719 you can tell, Okay, this is something that they're saving 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.280 for Tapa Bay Week. One that you know, I saw 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.320 that we hadn't seen out in Ashburn, especially with the 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.880 fans being out there. So there was some wrinkles that 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.080 they did offensively that you can say, Okay, I really 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.800 like this, this aspect that I don't want to share 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.479 too much on the podcast. You know, you and I 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.920 can talk off air, but when you look at it 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.800 is really about just being able to compete against another team, 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.320 compete and making sure is he making the right decision 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.800 and not just him, but the quarterback in general. Are 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.480 they making the right decision? Does the pass pro are 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.640 they are they calling making the right cause I saw 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.280 Tyler biadis you know, making making the right calls from 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.800 a from a protection standpoint, You want to see those 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.159 guys making sure they're operating in the right manner. 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.320 And doing the things that they need to do. 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.159 And you know they know the offensive line is what 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.919 it is in terms of injuries right now, So I 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.680 think from nest standpoint there, they're happy with that aspect of. 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.479 These practices feel and most of the players and coaches 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.880 seem to say it these days, the way the preseason 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.960 is treated more important. It's a better learning environment. There's 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.920 more corrections to be made out of it. 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.720 You want to you want to have mistakes happen in 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:38.240 practice or corrections happen in practice as opposed to a game. 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.279 You know a great, great coach, Hall of Fame coach 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:46.200 that I play for, Dick lebau. You know, a lot 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.480 of times when you're in the practices, especially if if 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.040 you're on defense and you give up a play, something 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.440 happens and you know, everybody, all the coach are in 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.680 the uproar and things like that. Coach Leboul was like, Man, 0:05:56.240 --> 0:06:00.000 I'd much rather have those things happen right now unless 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.080 get them corrected that happened on Sunday or doing a 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.719 real game. And I'm sure you know you're not happy 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.240 when they happened on a practice field at that moment, 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.760 but it's an opportunity to coach, correct and not just 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.880 correct the guys who you know may have had the 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.520 situation that made a mistake on the field, but you're 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.360 also coaching their backups and other guys as. 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.279 Well, so you know things that happened. 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.839 You're happy when they when you're able to have those 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.200 mistakes happen and correct them up, coach them up. 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:32.040 And I know that everybody was paying attention to Jayden 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.840 obviously because they wanted to see him first go against 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.600 an opponent, But we had talked to Kingsbury a couple 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.919 days earlier and he had pointed out to us he 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.240 really actually wanted to focus on the run game. He 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.160 wanted to see it specifically against I think this defensive 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.200 front because I wanted to see how they would handle 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.159 against something like this. I don't know if you got 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.280 anything out of the practice there, because I know it 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.400 was important to the team to see how the run 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.600 game was functioning as they had towards the regular season. 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.080 Yeah, it's still a work in progress. You know, the 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.040 ruck I thought, you know, Austin Eckler, he popped a 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:08.840 couple of times, and b rob showed his toughness broke tackles, 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.880 even though it's not they weren't tackling tackling, but there 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.600 were some times where Yeah, but the defender may have 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.080 been there and tried to like thud him up, knowing 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.880 b Robb he was breaking those tackles. So you like 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.120 to see the physicality of the running backs and those 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:28.560 things like that. Anytime you work in with a office 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.160 line that hasn't had a lot of time together, you're 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:36.080 gonna have some mishaps that take place. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.080 Yeah, it's interesting with the two of them. I didn't 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.520 see be Robin Eckler. I didn't see a lot of 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:46.680 them today, But how they're going to be utilized together 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.440 is going to be very interesting. How they utilize their 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.920 formations will be very interesting. And I'm with you on Eckler. Actually, 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:54.280 I don't know if I saw a ton of it today. 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.000 It was wet and it was sloppy outside today. But 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.360 he looks as quick as he's been in the past, 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.280 like we've seen now that they've started to ramp up 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.600 to more of a game speed. And I still like, 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:06.840 and I'm gonna ask you about this in a minute, 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.160 because I haven't seen game speed yet through since the 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.880 started camp, and I see it again today. But when 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.480 it gets up to a certain point, you're starting to 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.840 see the Eckler that quick twitchy cuts that like kind 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.840 of made him what he was with the Chargers. You're 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.000 seeing that here now. 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:23.040 Yeah, I think it's a good time. 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.200 You mentioned, you know, wanting to see game speed or 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:29.760 haven't not seen it yet. You can tell that the 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.400 coaches really emphasize, hey, we want to we don't want 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.839 to have a bunch of fistic cuffs and fights, and 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.360 we don't want the inticity so high that we're not 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.600 able to accomplish what we want to accomplish. But there 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.040 was some physicality that took place at the line of 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.559 scrimmages and things like that, and I saw guys running 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.160 to the football saw you know, that's what you want 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.000 to see. Definitely on the defensive side of the ball. 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.320 You mentioned Eckler, there were some times where where he 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.920 just he's he's he's stronger than what he looks, and 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.679 we've seen videos of him in the He's not a 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.520 big guy, but he breaks a lot of tackles because 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.240 he's just he's stronger than what he appears to be. 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.560 They're gonna utilize him and be Robin in a variety 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.200 of different ways. Both of them obviously can run the 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.360 ball out of the backfield, but also being able to 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.440 catch the ball and being able to do some things 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:23.360 in that manner. I'm looking forward to seeing seeing how 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:24.840 his offense operates. 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:28.120 Yeah, So the other couple of guys that really just 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.600 stood out to me through camp and to this point, 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.319 they went and drafted Luke McCaffrey. But Alamode alamidez A 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.439 Kias has really stood out here as someone who has 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.760 really emerged I think into camp to the point where 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.000 forget just making the team, he may have a prominent 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.080 role if you were watching closely, and today he was 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.839 featured in the offense today as well, So I think 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:50.000 he's a name to watch here. 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:51.320 He's a VET. 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.560 I'm not surprised considering depth at the position group. I'm 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.360 not surprised that he's an easy ad to the fifty three, 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.360 but I think he might be a bigger role play 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.560 if I'm guessing right now, by the time we get 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.439 around to the regular season, he's got a bigger role 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:05.880 in this team than I think people might have thought 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:06.760 when they first brought him. 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.480 In here, well, he continued to show up and continues 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.760 to make plays, and you want you want that to happen. 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.120 When he was signed as a free agent back in April, 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.079 you know, it was kind of an under under the 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.160 radar sign and only had what ten catches a season ago, 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.480 and and Philly, so he's like, okay, not not that 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.720 big of a signup. But then you continue to watch 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.960 the practices and he's the one who continued to show up, 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.960 continues to make plays. I'm not the biggest guy, but 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.360 he makes plays and he's making the most of it 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.880 of his opportunities as well. It was a couple other guys, 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.400 the tight ends. I thought the tight ends looked really good. Yeah, 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.800 saw saw being sent and make some plays. I mentioned 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.320 Zach Ers making some plays as well. So I thought 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:50.560 the tight ends shoot our other tight end, the big 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:55.199 uh No, bas John Bates, he made some plays as well, 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.480 and he well, there was this one time he caught 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.640 a pass and the defender safe he was looking to 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.559 come up and thut him, and next thing you know, 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:03.880 it was like he was a speed bumper. 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:08.240 Yeah, basse man, it was. It was pretty big, pretty. 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.959 Nice offensive lineman. Yeah, in a tight ends body. That's 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:14.040 what they love about him. And Zakias seems to bring 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.880 the attitude that they're looking for. This coaching staff is 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.040 looking for a I want the ball, it's mine, yeah, 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.280 you know. And on defense, they want the guys uber confident, 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:26.920 go get the ball, turn it over, play really fast, 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:28.920 which is when I'll get into the defense in the 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:30.079 practice in a minute. But I want, I want to 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.600 stay on that thought for a minute with you, which 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:36.160 is they keep talking about Dan Quinn, Joe Witt. You know, 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.840 this is what we're about. Your friends and family gonna 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.040 watch us. You're gonna like what you see. We're gonna 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.120 play with a lot of intensity. We're gonna bring it 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.280 like those type of things. And the other day, like 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:47.960 to the point about they haven't shown game speed yet. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.760 We haven't seen it yet. We've not seen it yet. 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.040 And it's not to suggest that like they're not doing it. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:12:00.160 It's purposefully they're not going at the speed and intensity 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.200 that they intend to have at some point, which is 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.960 gonna have to obviously change on Saturday when they play 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:06.280 a game. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.720 I'll say this when you and I don't know if 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:14.160 you're just talking, and you may be talking mainly intensity 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:18.160 within the trenches. Yeah, like offensive linemen, I mean receivers, 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.600 cornerbacks like their game speed because you have to run 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.640 full speed routes. You have to run at the cover 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:26.880 guys at the at the game speed. There's no like, 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.720 all right, we're gonna be eighty percent you you need 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.959 to run these routes full speed. So a lot of 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.680 the perimeters those that's full speed. That's game speed. There's 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.880 no gonna there's not gonna be a all of a 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.360 sudden we turn it on once we get into two. 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:45.199 You know, preseason games or the regular season, finishing plays 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.080 may not be at the level that they will be 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:51.880 at once. Finishing plays from an offensive stamp, offensive line standpoint, 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:57.440 you know, de keeting, decleting somebody really uh, you know, 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.520 pancaking somebody in the in the whether in a run 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.880 block or perimeter, play screens and things like that. They're 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.440 not doing those things yet, not in the not in 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.520 the practice setting. You just don't want to do those things, 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.920 but you want to make sure you're in the right 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.680 position first and foremost, and then once once the games 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.640 really ramp up, you'll see those guys being finished. 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:19.560 With the other day in the press conference said you know, 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.520 we're living that mantra. This can't be bs. Yeah like that, 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.960 it has to be that. And so I've been waiting 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:27.880 to see because listen, I've been around a long time. 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.600 I'm covered you as a player. That is a long 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.200 time ago. Man. You know, teams before you were even 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.680 in Washington. This is not what training camp was. It's 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:39.480 just a different time. 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:43.960 It's a different it's a different time. Just that's just 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.920 the way it is. And and and even within that, 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:52.280 I think coaches have certain ways that they want to 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.120 go out go about getting their teams ready to play. 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.920 Where you're going to have some coaches they're going to 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.840 have full paths every day, yeah, you know, as much 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.319 as they possibly can. And then you're gonna have some 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.160 coaches who may take an approach where hey, we're gonna 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:11.319 be full pass this day maybe and shorts the next day. 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.080 Back in full past, things like that. 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.360 It felt like in the back of the day, he 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.880 was like, let's see who can survive you. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:21.560 Definitely there was a survival mentality, and it's it's not 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.160 that we just got embrace it. 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.480 Bra times have changed, man. 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.200 I'm not suggesting they're the only ones doing this. The 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:30.960 Jets were holding up too. I mean, it wasn't like 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:32.840 there was a lot of physical There were no fights today. 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.840 There was no reason to have any today. It wasn't 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:36.920 like anybody was taking any cheap shots. So the message 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:38.840 you got to cross on both sides today. 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.960 Right there was there were a couple of shots that 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.640 were taken where I thought this could lead to a 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.520 kind of a fistic cuff and it didn't happen, didn't 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.360 take place. So, you know, guys were conscious of the 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.920 message that was delivered to them from their head coach. 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:00.560 I know, Coach Quinn obviously let his players, hey, we 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.480 don't want those things, and I'm sure Robert Salad did 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.760 the same thing with his players. But there were some 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.080 times where I saw a couple of hits and I 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.720 was like waiting on this to be, you know, to 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.120 escalate to something a little bit more than and it 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:14.720 didn't happen. 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.600 All right, let's talk about the defense a little bit. 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.880 I actually saw more of that in the joint practice 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.160 than I did of the offense today. If you see 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.560 some clips on like Twitter from early in practice, you'll 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.480 hear all these ooze and odds and jet scoring and 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.360 all that stuff. I want to go back to what 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.640 we were just talking about. People were holding up. There 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.480 was no full tackling or anything like that. And there 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.320 were plenty of times where guys were would have been 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.000 teed up but weren't and allowed to keep running in 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.320 the fans might have been confused with what they were watching. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.480 Or a quarterback may have gotten sacked, and you just 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.320 don't never you never know. The big takeaway, actually, I 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:47.840 thought was a really good first sign. One of the 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.600 big questions about this team is are they going to 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.560 be able to generate a consistent pass rush? 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:55.480 And in a first go today they did. Actually, in 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.400 my viewpoint of what I saw from the sideline, George 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.600 Armstrong had a couple of good rushes. I think Frankie 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.640 Luvu is a very interesting movable part for this team. Again, 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.120 probably someone Joe What doesn't really want to show what 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:07.600 they're going to do with him. He was in the 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.760 backfield a couple of times. You know, I think you're 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.200 gonna have your moments with Dante Fowler for sure. I 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.080 think you're gonna have your moments with Cleveland Ferrell. I 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.560 think they're hoping Jamie Davis is gonna be somebody that 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.920 can count on there. But I saw some of it today. 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.840 So with the offensive line juggling and we're worried and 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.760 the corners you all get to in a minute. On 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.000 that question of can they generate a consistent pass rush 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.080 in the first real test of it, which is just 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:30.960 a practice, it was actually pretty good. 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:31.200 Well. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.360 I think that the question was will we be able 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.400 to generate a pass rush from the edges? 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:36.840 Correct? 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.000 Because we know we have an interior we have you know, 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.640 Jonathan Allen and Doron Pain, two of the best interior 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.320 pass rushers in the NFL, and then you add Johnny 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.600 Newton to that mix, one of the most disruptive players 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.040 in college football from the antirior. So you know, if 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:55.280 that pressure will be there the edges, are we going 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.320 to be able to have pressure out there? So it's 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.680 a I'm happy to hear that report from you about 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.920 what those guys were able to do in that practice 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.159 against the just being able to get some get some 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.480 pressure off the edges. And you mentioned Doris Armstrong, you 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:14.400 mentioned uh shoot a Dante Fowler. Yeah, those guys being 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:18.879 able to So that's that's music to my ears because 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.520 you want to be able to do it with four 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.800 and not have to you know, blitch the quarterback, not 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:26.840 have to bring a fifth rush or things like that. 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.000 So if you can do it with four and just 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.600 have those that seven concentrate on coverage, that's great. 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.680 Uh. I mean I came into this feeling like Armstrong 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:37.560 is gonna be steady. I mean if I don't know 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.920 if he's going to give them huge numbers, but he's 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:41.360 gonna be steady. I think, you know what you get. 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.119 We've seen him, We've gone up against him for a 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.800 number of years, and obviously he knows this defense. It's 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.360 that other side where is the question. Farrell's a very 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.680 good player. Fowler situationally has been very very good. 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:52.760 Still have some juice. 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:56.320 Yet you have this consistency at that other side, and 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.320 at least for day one, they found a way to 0:17:58.600 --> 0:17:59.560 kind of work around it. 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:00.920 Yeah. 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.840 I was talking to a couple of scouts about, you know, 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:06.160 just some of those guys, and they, you know, they 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:11.040 love how hard Armstrong plays. It's like he's gonna he's 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.439 gonna make plays just because of how hard he plays. 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.120 And you know, a Foler still has juice coming off 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:19.760 that edge and a situational player. As you mentioned, he's 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.879 not gonna be a every down player. But when you 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.880 get when you get in third and obvious passing situations 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.439 and you're able to bring him in and let him, 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:31.879 you know, work, attack and do those types of things, 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.320 I'm i'm I want to see what he's able to do. 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.720
