London Fletcher will be my weekly partner. 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:22.880 But today down in Miami, off of the Joint Practice, 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:24.720 the one and only Brian Mitchell. 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:25.960 What's going on. 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:27.040 I'm good. 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.040 We beat the rain. It's actually ever taping this. It's 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:34.920 pouring outside, but we had the underrated humidity humidity of 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:36.640 Miami today for the joint practice. 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:38.720 Yes, it is down south, you know, you see it 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:40.800 gets human and when you're this close to the water, 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.639 it happens. And normally right around this time the rain 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.120 comes in. It's gonna stop soon and it's gonna be hot. 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:47.960 To say all that did? All right? 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:49.519 So we did the first edition of this last week 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.199 and London and I we're in a hotel room like 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.760 you and I are right now down in Miami. And 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:55.800 then we threw it up on YouTube and everybody freaked. 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:56.760 Out because they couldn't see us. 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:58.880 So it's what you're not gonna obviously, if you're watching 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.000 this now, you're not gonna see us. But we promise 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.360 in the ones that start on the twenty six, we're 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:03.640 gonna do. 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:04.920 It out of the studio. You'll be able to see y. 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:05.560 Hey, there we go. 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:06.000 There's that. 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.279 All right, you're gonna you can watch b Mitch tomorrow 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.440 night at the game with Chickernandez and Brian Colbert Junior. 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.560 WUSA nine is the local carry of the preseason for 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.880 the Commanders and you could hear me London and Logan 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.560 Paulson on the radio. Big one hundred is the flagship 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:21.559 for the game tomorrow night. All right, now we paid 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.960 all the bills, all right, let's do it all right. 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.760 Mike McDaniel dan Quinn have a unique relationship. In fact, 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.319 even dan quinn talked about today how he helped Mike 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.119 McDaniel when he was going through some substance abuse back 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.160 in the day and really was a big fan of 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.680 his work, and he had talked openly about how this 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.840 really worked out in the preseason with these joint practices. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.200 He has a very close relationship with Robert Sala, very 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:43.360 close relationship. 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:43.759 With Mike McDaniel. 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.800 And I think today what you saw was a very 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.760 professional environment between these two teams, and it was coordinated 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:50.200 that it. 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.840 Was a very professional environment. And also because those two 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.080 people respect each other. Yeah, and know only when the 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.680 coaches respect each other, you'll get this type of practice 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.520 where you know, you see a little push in the 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.400 shove happens in sports, but you didn't see anything crazy. 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:03.960 And I think the ultimate thing. 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:08.040 Is that coaches always say what they don't want, and 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.640 a lot of times they don't respect the coaches they 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.040 are practicing against. They have their players doing some stupid. 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.400 These two people respected each other and you didn't see that. 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.359 And then you also saw the intention and day in 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.520 practice they were able to get great work on both 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:20.160 sides of the ball. 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.360 So I want to talk about that. 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:26.160 My biggest takeaway today from watching this was there was 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:30.679 an effet mentality about Miami that is unusual. I saw 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.720 this in their preseason game and getting ready to call 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.000 the game, you know, against the Dolphins this week in 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.720 their first one against Atlanta. They don't hide anything. They 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.600 have what appears to be this confidence of we're just 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.840 going to practice what we do, we don't care if 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.720 you see it, and we want to make you stop it. 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:49.359 And that was happening today in this practice. All that misdirection, 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.240 the speed, the usage of all that. Washington got to 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:53.440 experience it today. 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:54.440 They got the experience it. 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:59.040 But the thing about Mike McDaniel his offense is that 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.200 you saw his base, Okay. They threw a lot of 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.519 extra stuff off of that, and I think it was 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.480 great for Washington because normally in preseason you see the 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:08.320 vanilla stuff. 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:09.040 Okay. 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.320 His offense is more advanced than a lot of people's offenses, 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.080 so the natural stuff is a lot of movement, which 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.200 I think was great for these linebackers and for these 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.120 defensive backs. They got to see those things and they 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:21.880 also look like they below It didn't looked like they 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:22.680 were overwhelmed by it. 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:26.040 Now it's funny because the first few teams that Washington faces, 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.240 if you look at the opponents, Tampa Bay Baker Mayfield, 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.280 pocket passer, right Giants, Daniel Jones can move a little bit. 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.240 Let's see what the offense looks like when he comes back. 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:39.040 Joe Burrow like until we get to Arizona and don't 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.160 really know what Kyler Murray's offense is gonna look like. 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.800 I don't think they're gonna play anything that replicates anything 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.360 like this. But I also feel like this team Miami, 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.280 and it shows in how they performed a year ago. 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.800 They execute with speed better than most teams. And if 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.240 there ever was a good test to have in the preseason. 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.400 It's these guys you find out where you are when 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:00.000 you practice again. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.440 Like Jeremy Chin said, they have a footbaut one hundred 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:08.920 track team on their roster. It was great for them 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.480 because what happened with all the misdirection. You have to 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.920 stick to your keys, and you saw a lot of 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.560 that today where they didn't get lost. And I think 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.000 when you look at some of the games last year, 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.640 they got lost and right now I see I think 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.159 you're seeing a better job of coaching happening. And also 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.440 you're seeing a lot more people that's playing attention to detail. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.920 You know, when you pay attention to detail and you 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.000 know what you have to do. Depending on where a 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.160 person is on the field doesn't make a difference where 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.279 they started at and how they run around. You just 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.279 have when the ball is not where were they and 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.280 I have to stick to those keys and they seem 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.159 to be doing a great job of that, which when 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.560 I was talking with Jeremy, he said that they're holding 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:44.800 each other accountable. 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:46.600 You know that word right there. 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:50.240 Accountability is something that we haven't seen for the most part, 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:51.240 and now we're starting to see it. 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:52.840 There was a big change in a week. I mean 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.200 it was pouring up in New York and the conditions 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.000 were terrible. Aaron Rodgers didn't take part in it, but 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.600 the Jets really had a lot lot of success, and 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.120 I don't know how you judge. I'll ask you, how 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:03.920 do you judge these practices? Because they didn't have a 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.040 lot of success against them and it was mainly Tyrod 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:07.080 Taylor in backups. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:08.159 This week was different. 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.960 They really felt it felt unfazed by all of this. 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.159 Not that we're keeping score during all of it, but 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.120 it wasn't like a track meet like you might have 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.960 expected with a new defense trying to figure out maybe 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.120 the best offense in the league. 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:19.960 I think when you look. 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.440 At it like you going to your first game practicing 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.680 against another team, a lot of guys may have never 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.960 done it before, wasn't accustomed to it. Then you have 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.040 bad weather on top of it, so you're trying to 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:33.120 be cautious and not hurt yourself. Okay, the coaches told 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.479 you no fighting because prior to them going up there, 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.320 the bill going against the jail the Jets, you heard 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.120 about the two hundred thousand dollars fines, and you know 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.640 when Dan mentioned it in one of his press offenses. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.520 I figured he had already talked to these players. So 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.120 they went up there a little less motivated by doing 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:49.800 something that might get them in trouble, get the team 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.320 in trouble. But the Jets were ready to go. And 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.840 then this week you can see that growth came. They 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.839 came back and say, okay, we're going to match your intensity. 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:58.080 Well to your point. 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.000 Like it looked like I can the center of the 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.479 Dolphins was trying to go doron pain into something today 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.480 and he just wouldn't go there. He's keeping his money 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:08.040 in his pocket. 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:12.120 You know. See back in the day, in my days, 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.599 I saw like old man, we could fight. They wasn't 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.080 filming practice, didn't have is this much that much attention 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:20.880 on it, so you don't have to worry about fine 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.599 in practice. Now they're looking at these things just like 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:26.640 a game now. And when you're going if you're going 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.479 to bring a black eye to the league, they're going 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.240 to make sure they takes a green at your project. 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:30.599 To your point. 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.200 Like you were talking to Larry Izzo, the specialty coach, 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:34.600 and he's telling us that you got into a fight 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.240 with him down here. Yes, no fight. 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.520 For that, No fight, No fire because probably they didn't 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.320 care about the interstrui practices back then. Now football is 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.560 so big, people want to know every little thing that 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:47.040 you're training. 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:48.120 And now I know. 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.239 People like to say, oh man, you can't keep controlling practice. 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.480 The reason that people losing in practice because they wouldn't 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.560 getting fined for it. Now you're going to find out 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.200 that people will keep control even more whenever someone that's 0:06:58.200 --> 0:06:59.080 trying to take your money. 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.280 You understand which can and which can't do. 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:02.040 Uh. 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.680 The one moment that stood out for me to at 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:09.160 least defensively was in red zone drills. Yes, Ta runs 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.880 a play where it gets a single for Tyreek Hill 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.080 coming across the field back of the end zone. Mike 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.880 Sandra's still the rookie ends on him. He floats on 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:18.520 up the hill. It's one on one back of the 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:19.960 end zone, and Sandra's still wins. 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:20.880 These are the. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:22.480 Moments where I go more of that. 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.680 Yes, you know, you see him against maybe the most 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.960 elite player in the NFL right now. He's number one 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.320 in the NFL one hundred list for good reason. We 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.000 saw what he did us last December. Oh yeah, he's elite, 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.040 and here Sandra's still unfazed. 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.160 He's unfazed by anybody on the field. 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.680 And I've talked to guys throughout this team and I 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.320 asked some questions about him because I've been impressed by 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.360 him from the moment I saw him. He walked into 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.080 We were building a garden, a garden rebuild at the school, 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.960 and he walks in, and I'd like to watch. What know, 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.400 you get all the guys together, all this testouts run together, 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:55.160 who does everybody talk to? 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:55.600 Who did? 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.560 They all begin to float towards and everybody floated towards 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.240 Mike say were still okay? And when you see that, 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.440 Eva Jayden went towards him. So I was saying, this 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.600 kid has something special. Then you watch him on a 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.600 football field, and he did. He he is ready, he's prepared, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.720 he's athletic. He doesn't seem overwhelmed by anything. But we 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.800 will take a step back. That play worked a lot 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:20.040 because they ran a two gap linebacker blitz and got 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:21.760 the tool. He had to get rid of that bottle, 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:23.680 and when he floated it, Mikey was right there for 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.000 it to knock it out. So, as I stated before, 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.800 the defensive backfield is gonna get better when that rush 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.520 gets better, and I based off what I saw there, 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.160 Joe Whitt and Dan are not gonna be sitting back 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:35.719 waiting for you to just try to throw balls down 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:36.160 the field. 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.640 Jalen Wattle did not take part in the practice today 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.319 and I don't believe he's gonna play this week, and 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.280 he's nursing some kind of injury. Odell Beckham's on the 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.240 Dolphins now, but it wasn't working out on the side. 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:46.920 He's on the pup list, so we're not gonna see 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:48.960 him as well. But if they put their starters out there, 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:50.520 and I was talking to one of their reporters today 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.440 because the preseason game number two lest year, they played 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.679 him into the second Athletics League game, so we may 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:55.480 see a lot of them. 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:57.000 We're gonna get a lot of Tyreek Hill. 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.480 So I wonder where you are on just our corners 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.160 in general as a whole, because we might get a 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:03.319 real test on Saturday. 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:04.800 We will get a real test. And I think the 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:06.360 one thing I would like to see it. You know, 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.200 we saw last year and we saw the way that 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:09.319 Forest played. 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:10.680 You know, he had his. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.720 Ups and this down, but this has been a great 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.840 test for him. I think he held his own out 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.880 there today. You know he was right there and he 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.440 made some plays. So when you go into a game 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.760 like this anytime, I know when I would go into 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.840 games and my friends going against game, if you saw 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.160 somebody that was real good, you felt this is a 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.680 time I could show what I'm about. And everybody should 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.600 be thinking that way. And when you look at a 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.040 team with that much speed, this secondary who I'm sure 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.880 they all feel like last year wasn't us and we're 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:38.880 a better team this year. 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:40.640 What better team to shortage? 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.080 I mean you think that way too, don't you. Oh yeah, 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.839 bust last week it was horrible. I mean it was hard. 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.760 It's not an indictment on anybody, but the whole thing 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.480 about it is they didn't seem to be prepared. And 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.040 if you don't seem to be prepared and then you 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.200 were in the constantly being constantly being thrown out there, 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.160 you're not being held accountable. So I just look at 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.920 this whole thing now, and I can't guarantee what's going 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.040 to happen, but I can tell you one thing. Accountability 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:07.720 is something that's happening around here. 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.360 Yeah, I think there was confusion last year and told 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.319 what everybody's jobs were, and we hear Dan Quinn and 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.679 Joey talk about this over and over and over. I 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.760 want to hear the communication and then I'll know that 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.160 we're in the right spot. So there, however you want 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.240 to talk about it, simplifying it, making sure everybody understands 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.719 what their roles are, hopefully not leaving people hung out 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.480 to dry this time. And in the case with Forbes, 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.679 like I think he needs to redo, you know. I mean, 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.560 that was a very tough year on a defense that 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.319 fell to spots. I never thought i'd ever see the 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.160 team fault with the talent that they had on it. 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.599 And he needs to do over again. 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:42.360 Go to see how it goes. 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:43.640 But you know, and a lot of that comes from 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:44.080 Forbes too. 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.560 You know, your coaches can put you in the right spot, 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.480 but also you can do a love studying yourself. And 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.559 I'm not saying he doesn't, but I think you have 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.160 to help yourself out. When I had to switch from 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.800 being a quarterback to doing all these other positions, I 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.880 didn't just wait for practice. Yeah, okay, I had guys. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.800 The team would tell me, you got to watch more film, 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:02.960 and don't watch TV. 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:04.320 You watch film. It's a difference. 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:05.880 A lot of people say, hey, watching film and they 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.040 finished in what twenty thirty minutes. If you watch a film, 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:09.720 you're gonna finish in an hour and a half, two hours, 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.920 three hours. Ernest Biner showed me that I was giving 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.640 off signals to the defense about what I was about 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:15.880 to do. 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.280 So I had to change those things up. 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.400 And if you want to improve, you got to make 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.360 sure that every time, every moment, you have to make 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.599 yourself better. And that could just be studying for a 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.760 little bit, looking a little bit longer. It can help 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:28.319 you out for He's to be trying to do that 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:28.679 as well. 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.120 Yeah, the other big thing that's happening in the game 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.040 is Andrew Wiley returned. He's missed a lot of time, 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.040 so he's probably gonna start it right tackle. He did 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.719 take part in the practice today. Careelius Lucas is back. 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:41.720 He missed the game against the Jets. He's probably gonna 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:43.640 start at left tackle. We're still waiting on Brandon Coleman 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:45.719 to come back from his injury. Hopefully he'll get into 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.240 the Patriots game. We'll see, but I think this is 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.200 another let's see what we have in front of Jaden Daniels. 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.880 He had one little series. They didn't have either tackle 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.160 that would project to be a starter. Let's see what 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:57.360 that looks like on Saturday, Nyeah. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.400 I think when he played against the Jets, then they 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.959 had to call game that basically said that we don't 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.640 have our our right now, I've left tackle this game. 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.560 They could probably call a different game, and then you 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.480 get to see a little more of what you have. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:10.599 For a quarterback. You get three to four seconds to 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.199 throw the football. Your office in line is not supposed 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.200 to block eight nine seconds. So if they can block 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.719 three to four seconds and allow Jaden to be able 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.360 to go through his little process and get rid of 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.319 the football, you know, handing it off, and you can 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.240 move the people, and you can have different little plays 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.800 to play action and things like that to throw slow off. 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.680 The rush a little bit. They're going to be fine. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:33.079 Ultimately, what it comes down to, I don't know anybody 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.640 ever in the league that just takes on one person 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.600 every game and whips them all the time. You get 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.480 some help. Sometimes you get a chip from the tight end, 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.320 you get a chip from the running back. And I've 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.480 already seen him in the last preseason game where the 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:45.679 running backs were doing that. 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.040 The tight ends we're doing that. 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:48.680 So if I saw it in the first game, I 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.280 expect to see it throughout the season. So if Wily 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.200 is back and Lucas's back, you don't just stop helping them. 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.440 You know, it may be just a little bump or 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.720 just my presence may make that guy not want to 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.360 come upfield and he's syst give Luke a better chance, 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.320 or wildly a better chance the offense. The play call 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.360 in a coach can help that out as well. And 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.080 I think I already see Cliff doing that. 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:12.360 And then today you know they were sharp. And I'm 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.600 always like, I'm gonna be careful because I know they're 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.800 trying to slow roll Jaden here, like they do not 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:18.920 want to thrust him out there and say that he's 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.040 anything more than what he is, which is a rookie 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.880 quarterback who's got a great background and a lot of 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.280 athletics skills, who did a couple of cool things the 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.080 other day that everybody freaked out about. But he hadn't 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.520 played a game yet, and they're trying to like they're 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.480 trying to keep it in the bottle. But if you 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:38.440 watch this practice today, it's hard not to get excited 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.520 about what's going on here. They were prolific actually early 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:42.160 in this practice. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.959 The way I look at it is, we have seen 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.600 a lot in the Washington, DC area, so we like 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.880 to be patient and we like to pump our brakes 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.920 on it. But I stopped looking and listening to the 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.760 people in Washington. Now I start looking at the people 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.920 around the country that has seen him play. And a 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.400 guy today posted that, you know, this rookie is good, 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.840 And at first I thought he was talking about the 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.760 defensive back of Miami, but he's talking about Jade and Daniels. 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:09.280 Okay. 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.320 And when you have a guy who seems to have 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.840 a control over it, you watch him on the sidelines 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.040 and practice where after play he's talking to the veterans 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:18.960 about what he expects and where he wants them and 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.600 asking them questions. Normally, rookies, I don't care what position 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.320 you're in, you wait for somebody to talk to you. 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.880 He's initiating it. You know why, because he's there at 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.120 five o'clock in the morning. He's doing all the things 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.200 he needs to do to prepare himself. Hell, he has 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.400 one job, being a quarterback of the Western Commandery, and 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.960 he is taking full advantage of it. Unlike a lot 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.160 of rookies, they come in worried about everything. No, no, no, 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.280 he's taking this bull by the horn and he's running 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:43.520 with it. 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.320 You know, his personality matters too, Like he seems like 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:49.440 a very humble guy, very relatable guy. And he's quiet. 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.760 You know, he's not out there. He's not pushing himself 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.440 out there. His agent's not pushing him out there, the 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.520 team's not pushing him out there. He seems I don't 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.960 want to speak for me. He seems fine with that. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.520 And you're seeing this to your point more and more. 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:02.680 If these guys are going to rally around him and 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.640 play for him, it's half the battle. 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.640 Yeah, that's over half the battle. Yes, they have to 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:08.720 believe in you first. Yes. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:10.600 Like I made a comment and it's kind of about 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.040 the coach, John said. People always talk about all this 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.000 coach can draw up this scheme, This coach can do this, 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.080 he can motivate players. 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.240 The whole thing about it. Can you get somebody to 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:19.240 buy into what you're selling? 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:21.720 And dan Quinn is walking in and this coach is 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.520 staff they've gotten all their players to buy in. Well, 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.960 Jayden Daniels, when you get a quarterback. What you have 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.760 to realize is will guys following this person. And I 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:31.960 think the thing I've seen with Jayden Daniels is like 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.320 he doesn't act as if I'm bigger than everybody else. 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.200 He's like, I'm just a part of the crew. 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.760 And now when I and this is what I've done, 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.520
