WEBVTT - Consistency & Sacrifice | HC Dan Quinn Talks Washington’s Growth | The Gameplan | Washington Commanders

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into the game plan.

0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Logan and I sit down with head coach Dan Quinn

0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 2>to look at the outlook of the Commanders as they

0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 2>head into the bye week, and Logan and I look

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 2>forward to these last four games and how we can

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 2>get some wins and finish this season strong.

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>All that and what on the game plan.

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Welcoming get head coach dan Quinn, What a way to

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.639
<v Speaker 2>go into the bye week with a win. What is

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 2>the message to the team as you had into the

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 2>bye week after such a great win.

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 3>I think for all of us watching, we know what

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 3>the vision you know of our team of what we

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 3>can be. And so this play style, the attitude, the identity,

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.559
<v Speaker 3>the physicality, that's what we want to be. And so

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 3>by playing fast, by playing physical, by taking care of

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 3>the ball, by going after it, those are the things

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 3>that I want to see.

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Every time we play.

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 3>And that's going to be true now and ten years

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 3>from now and fifteen years from now, and so that

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 3>ain't ever changing.

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 4>I think that's probably the coaches like paradox is like

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 4>how do you get the guys to do it? You

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 4>know what I'm saying, because it's like that's the goal

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 4>and I know that's the goal, and you know that's

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.119
<v Speaker 4>the goal, but how do you get the execution there

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 4>all the time?

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think number one logan that has to be

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 3>for the guy next to them, not for any of

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 3>the coaches. And that's where real connection takes place. And

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 3>so if you can get that part right and doing

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 3>it over and over again, that's a big deal. What

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 3>I noticed for sure was it was lead sled dog time. Yeah,

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:30.320
<v Speaker 3>And I felt that from Terry McLaurin, from Wagner, from Ertz,

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 3>from others, where Okay, this is how it's how we're

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 3>going to get down And I love that because the

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 3>best of the best leaders, they're willing to put themselves

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 3>out there and make sure all the things that we're

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 3>going to do on the hardest of days, hard practices,

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 3>out in the wind and the cold, but like.

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>We're going to get it in today, and they were

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>all about.

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>It and coach, we are heading into the bie cover.

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 2>There's still games to be placed. When you look at

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 2>that win, what can you take from that win and

0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>game plan to help us in.

0:01:58.320 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Our next match against the scenes.

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 3>More than anything, we want to make sure that the

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 3>things that we do well that that carries over having

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 3>a late buye. I never really talked about it with

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:10.359
<v Speaker 3>the team of the buye.

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>No one really.

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Cared, you know, and there wasn't much to be gained

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 3>from that. Hey, in two weeks from now, we're going

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 3>to have a buy and you're gonna feel great. You're

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 3>gonna feel great in two weeks. I knew there would

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 3>be some silver lining on the end of that, and

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 3>so I just wanted us to go push to work

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 3>our skills. Can we get better? And if we could

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 3>do that, even as you're in a struggle, there is

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 3>you do gain that. And I'd love to say that

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.079
<v Speaker 3>the progress comes in all the games like yesterday, there's

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 3>a lot of progress that came in the three weeks prior,

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 3>and you have to sometimes go through that hard part

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 3>to see the growth. And yesterday's game you got to

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 3>feel some of that growth. Although it sucked to go

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 3>through the hardest part. It is how you come out

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 3>the other end that is what you can apply into

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 3>the next game, into the next lap, into the second

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 3>half of the season.

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 4>Do you have an example, coach of something that you

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 4>feel like the guys learned from the tough stretch that

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 4>they were able to apply yesterday and they can care

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 4>for the rest of the year.

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 3>I would say the line of scrimmage work is the

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 3>thing that stood out to me the most on both sides,

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 3>and we would go as far as our big guys

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 3>would take them on both sides, and knowing how important

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 3>that is to have balance to be able to play

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 3>strong at the line of scrimmage. December cold football, we're

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 3>playing outside. That part has to go Downloagan, and if

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 3>we could get that part of our game like we

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 3>want to. I wasn't going to measure the success of

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 3>the run game and just the total yards. Did we

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 3>target right, We're our pads down, could we finish blocks,

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 3>could we move the pile? Those were the things I

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 3>was looking to measure. It just so happened that Brian

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 3>set it off early. But I wasn't going to measure

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 3>on that. I wanted it the intent taking our shots

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 3>at it. And same thing defensively.

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>And Coach, we have to talk about your boy.

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Wagner continues to make history thirteenth season with one

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 2>hundred or more tackles. He got that on Sunday. You

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 2>have a long history with Bobby Wagner. What has been

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>like to see him continue over and over again to.

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Make that history.

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, consistency, man, it's not the sexiest word, but it

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 3>is so strong about who you are. And if you know,

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 3>you'd see many of mornings at six o'clock, and who'd

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 3>you think you'd see first in the weight room in

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 3>his wax And so I saw a tackling drill a

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 3>few weeks ago. I talked about of him over and

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 3>over again, where he's probably done that ten thousand times,

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 3>but it was such deliberate practice about how he would bend,

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 3>try to hit it on the rise, get the rap together.

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 3>And so consistency for him is just the way he lives.

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 3>It's not it didn't have to do extra that he's here,

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:49.599
<v Speaker 3>but the way that he does. There's a lot of

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 3>sacrifice that goes into his game. That all of the

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 3>unrequired work meaning required when you're here, but there's a

0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 3>lot that he does not here, of getting ready, taking

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 3>care of his body, of watching film and studying, and

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:07.599
<v Speaker 3>so all that sacrifice. It takes away from family time.

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 3>But he also knows he's playing. They'll understand when it

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 3>gets to the special parts of the season. All that

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 3>unrequired work, all the extra that he puts in Yeah.

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 4>And I think about him in the same context as

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 4>like London Fletcher, And I was a rookie when London

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 4>was in his thirteenth season here, and just how special

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 4>and how impactful it was to see someone who's been

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 4>to the mountaintop yep, and it's still playing at a

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 4>really high level. I know we've talked about it a bunch,

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 4>but like it just seems like such a huge part

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.599
<v Speaker 4>in year one to have a guy like that here

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 4>to just say hey, like this is the way follow

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 4>me kind of deal, And I just I don't know

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.359
<v Speaker 4>if you can overstate that kind of importance.

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 3>And how many people can still keep up with him,

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 3>I know, but.

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>They want to what's the workout routine? How do you study?

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 3>They all wanted the information and now it's up to

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 3>them to apply it, but they wanted to know, like,

0:05:55.520 --> 0:06:00.480
<v Speaker 3>what's the secret. Well, you're going to be disappointed. And

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:05.799
<v Speaker 3>what Bobby has done remarkably is he has raised his floor.

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 3>So this is where he performs all the time. There's

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 3>no dips and valleys into his performances. It's consistently good

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.039
<v Speaker 3>all the time. Like he just doesn't allow himself to

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 3>dip down into performances that aren't good enough, like he

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 3>just won't allow it.

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 2>And it's funny Logan mentions his London Fletcher because he's

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 2>the only other person to have more seasons with one

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 2>hundred plus tackles. So shout out to London Fletcher. I

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 2>know they're very close. Now another guy you're familiar with.

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 3>I did see them yesterday in the locker room talking

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 3>and it made me really proud to see these two

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.479
<v Speaker 3>linebackers and I thought to myself, how many tackles do

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.920
<v Speaker 3>these two like they're like it, like, I just saw

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 3>them talking together and it made me think, like how

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 3>remarkable the both of them are, and so here they are.

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 3>They weren't talking as a member of the media or

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 3>they were just talking as two linebackers, like just two

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 3>guys that tackle everything and like you know, like.

0:06:59.040 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Bike, no apologies.

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah right, And it was one of my favorite memories

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 3>of leaving the locker room yesterday, just seeing these two

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 3>guys who are elite at what they do, just having

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 3>a conversation and coach.

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Is interesting.

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned that because London tweeted today that they he

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 2>reached out. Bobby reached out to London back in twenty fourteen,

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 2>just to get advice. When you're a guy like Bobby

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Wagoner who's just so good that passion, that hunger for knowledge. Man,

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 2>how special is that when you see a guy like

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Bobby Wagner that wants to reach out to the.

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Oldest and say, you know what, I want to learn

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 1>from you, and that's his way.

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 3>Now London paid it forward to Bobby, and Bobby's now

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 3>doing that to some of his teammates. And that's probably

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 3>the bigger part of the football brotherhood that most fans

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 3>don't know about, and how much people are willing to

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 3>pay their knowledge forward, And it's one of the coolest

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 3>parts of our game that they get to share the

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 3>information about it.

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 4>Well. One of the things that I always appreciate when

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 4>when you're in Atlanta we were there together, was that

0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.200
<v Speaker 4>I felt like you had a knack for that is

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 4>like that football brotherhood. You know what I'm saying. It

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 4>is like kind of encouraging guys to do that. And

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 4>I think that's super special and super important. And why

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 4>do you think that's so important?

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Anytime anybody's done anything at the highest of levels, you

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 3>should want to know you know what is? You know

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 3>what was one thing you know that made a difference

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 3>in your career? Like why wouldn't you ask Doug Williams,

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 3>a you know doesn't have to be on the field.

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 3>Was what was one thing you did that made a

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 3>difference in your career. I remember, like we were talking

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 3>about in Atlanta, John Lynch, before he was the GM

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.199
<v Speaker 3>at San Francisco was doing TVs. Would you come early

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 3>and spend the morning with Kiki with kind of here

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 3>was these two physical safeties and what that looked like.

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 3>And sometimes just all you need to do is make

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 3>a connection, just connect the dots of people that stand

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 3>for that kind of football and that brand. And so

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 3>for us, we're fortunate, you know to have you know,

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 3>people like Daryl Green that's here by or a guy

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.559
<v Speaker 3>like Doug or yourself. That's just the ability to ask

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 3>and the guys that are willing to share that information

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 3>like that's a really cool thing.

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 2>And you're even seeing that on the offensive side with

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 2>the way that Tera McLain's kind of taking Jaden Daniels others.

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 2>We and they've made that connection two touchdowns against the

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Sannessee Signs. We continue to see that connection grow. What

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 2>have you seen from them and their relationship and how

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.440
<v Speaker 2>they've been able to work together throughout this season.

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, practice is top of the list. And for the

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 3>fans that may seem like practice, like how could that

0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.840
<v Speaker 3>be that valuable? You know, we have all these games,

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 3>But it's the timing, it's the connection, it's the depth

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 3>of a route. It's knowing where to go if it's

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 3>man to man and where to sit down if it's

0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 3>a certain coverage, and so that doesn't happen just on

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.679
<v Speaker 3>and so it has to be an eye contact, a signal,

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, them being in such connection with one another, that's.

0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:58.439
<v Speaker 1>The biggest part of it.

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 3>And they have found that together.

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 4>And one of the things like you know, work with

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 4>Matt Ryan and work with some other older quarterbacks. So

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.680
<v Speaker 4>of course of my career is like guys that could

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 4>basically say like this is the way I see it

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 4>and communicate that to the you know, the receiver, no

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 4>matter their level of experience. Have you seen that from

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 4>Jaden Like his ability to kind of it's leadership, it's charisma,

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.959
<v Speaker 4>whatever that is. And work that relationship with Terry.

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 3>I see it in the way. Let's stay after, let's

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 3>go through that again. I should have been you know,

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 3>those are the responsibilities.

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and so.

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 3>One of the things that the team admires about Jaden

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 3>from the very beginning was his ability to be consistently

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.079
<v Speaker 3>on the details and so knowing where your route was

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be, yours was, and so as they were

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 3>all learning it, it wasn't like everybody else had three

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 3>or four years of experience in the system before him.

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 3>He was on the same exact level as everybody else

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 3>learning it. So they were also asking him, which is

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 3>a little different dynamic. But he worked at it so

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 3>hard that they could ask him and he would be

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 3>able to deliver it with the right hand.

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 1>That's cool.

0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 2>And coach, we have to talk about Brian Robinson Junr.

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 2>His impact was felt once again. How important is his

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 2>game and this running game to our overall offense.

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 3>It's the uh, It's not just the size that's that's

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.959
<v Speaker 3>part of it as a bigger back, but there's a

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 3>lot of big backs. It's his ability to either try

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 3>to you know, run you over or the ability to

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 3>try to break you off as they're coming down. Into

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 3>the context of his ability to make the two yard

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 3>run into four, the five yard run into eight. You

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.920
<v Speaker 3>know that now it's a first down, it's eight, and

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 3>then the ability to break a long one like he

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:41.839
<v Speaker 3>did to set the whole game off on Sunday. That's

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 3>an impactful player. And then let's pick up all that

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 3>went into that. Like I thought, it was a really

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:46.680
<v Speaker 3>strong performance.

0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Right Brian and coach were heading into the bye week?

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 2>What do you want to see your team achieve, especially

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.200
<v Speaker 2>a very young team, is such a late by week.

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 2>What do you want to see them achieved during this

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 2>by week.

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Number one reset?

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's been a you know, long stretch for

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 3>the guys, so it is important to disconnect, even if

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 3>just for a few days, and then as we come

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.560
<v Speaker 3>back in Monday, we'll break back to the things we

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.160
<v Speaker 3>need to improve upon and then we go for it.

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 3>Man like coming back into the second half of the

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 3>seasons like going to base camp and you just go

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 3>for the next one. You go for the next one.

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.079
<v Speaker 3>And that's what I want to see. But there's a

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 3>lot of digging I have to do still about what

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 3>we want to improve upon, but moren anything, coming back

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 3>as a mindset to go attack and coach.

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I can speak for myself, I can speak for Logan

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 2>and the fans when I say, we cannot wait to

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 2>see you guys back on that field. Congrats on the

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:32.839
<v Speaker 2>success you've seen thus far, and we can't wait to

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 2>see the rest of the season.

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 3>We can't either, man, the guys leave them for a week.

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.120
<v Speaker 3>It's important this time of year there is this over lining.

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 3>But by the time that week's over, man, we'll be

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 3>chomping to get back.

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh, We're ready. Command is family.

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 2>We know you are enjoying the game plan. However, if

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 2>you want to see coach and logan Paul said break

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 2>down plays in the film room, you could check that

0:12:55.920 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 2>out on the Commander's YouTube page. Now, Logan, I know

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.320
<v Speaker 2>we're heading to the buy we However, we still have

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 2>four games left. So what is a ticket to a

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 2>win as we close out this season.

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:09.959
<v Speaker 4>I think the first thing is, let's use this bye

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 4>we can get healthy, right and this healthy team I

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.719
<v Speaker 4>think we saw last week first tend to see how

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.559
<v Speaker 4>physical they can be upfront. I think that's going to

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.679
<v Speaker 4>be the big driver. Honestly, in my opinion, it's how

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 4>well the offensive line can play, how healthy b rob

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.720
<v Speaker 4>can be in terms of getting downhill being physical, Because

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 4>when you look at when this team is at its best.

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.560
<v Speaker 4>They run the ball effectively. They got runs targeted effectively,

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 4>and Coach talked about that when we talked with them.

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Just the physicality of that group is the thing that's

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 4>really going to drive this Command is Family. That is

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:33.959
<v Speaker 4>your ticket to win.

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Now, we know you'll miss your commanders this Sunday, but

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 2>we will enjoy our bye week and see y'all next Sunday.

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 2>For head coach Dan Quinn, Logan Paulsen, and Brian Colbert.

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 1>This is the game plan. Commander is Family.

0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 2>You could catch us every Sunday on WSA nine Sunday

0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.800
<v Speaker 2>mornings before your games. This is game plan with Brian

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.839
<v Speaker 2>cob Junior and Logan Paulson head coach Dan Quinn till

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:52.319
<v Speaker 2>next Sunday.

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Command is Family. Yeah,
