1 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: What is going on, y'all? This is the Bedown Podcast 2 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: Madrid edition, sort of kind of we're getting there. I'm 3 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 1: your host, Senior writer for the Washington Commanders, Zach Selby, 4 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: And yes, again we're ripping off a lot of band 5 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: aids lately, and we gotta rip off another one because 6 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: the Commander's lost to the Detroit Lions forty four to 7 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 1: twenty two. Tough night all around for the defense, I think, 8 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: allowing five hundred and fifty plus yards of offense. It 9 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: was twenty one to twenty two to three at one point, 10 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: and Marcus Mariot comes in there play as well. But 11 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: still it was what it was. I mean, there's really 12 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: no other way to say it. But look, we're vibing, 13 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: y'all because the Commanders are playing in Spain this weekend 14 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins. It is my birthday, so that's 15 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: pretty awesome. I just want some some Video Game Convention 16 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: tickets that have been sold out for like weeks. I 17 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: found I found someone to transfer them for me in 18 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: exchange for some cupcakes. We're feeling great right now, and 19 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about what's hoping to be the 20 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: path to a win for the commanders this weekend and 21 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: how are they gonna do that? Well, we're going to 22 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: be discussing that today with two members of the Spanish broadcaster. 23 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: We have Wigs Leonards and Wander Marrow. Guys, how are 24 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: we doing this weekend? Or wait? Yeah, my time was 25 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: all myself because I've been in the airport. But you 26 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: know what I mean, how y'all doing? 27 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 2: You know how long I've been waiting to beat down? 28 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: So damn, that's crazy. 29 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: That's how you start the podcast by saying how you 30 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: feel at least after the first question. Man, we're doing 31 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 3: great sight. I mean, it's awesome. We're in Spain, Rando Madrid. 32 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 3: First time here for me, I believe for Juan as well. 33 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 3: I've been to Barcelona in the past, but I've never 34 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 3: been to Madrid and it's been a five star experience 35 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 3: so far. You know, we've done a lot of a 36 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 3: couple of days that we've been here. 37 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, it's the first class experience. The NFL and 38 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 4: Real Madrid have rolled out the red carpet for us 39 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 4: and we definitely enjoyed our time here and we're ready 40 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 4: for this game. 41 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: That's coming up on Sundays. 42 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: Well, I'm excited to join y'all at some point. I 43 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: think I'll be there on the thirteenth at five thirty 44 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: in the morning, so early, riser earlier. It look like 45 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: I get up at early. Anyway, the jet lag is 46 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: going to suck, but that's okay. No matter what, we'll. 47 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: Sleep, don't go to sleep, don't go to sleep. 48 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: I'll try, I'll try. I love my sleep, but either way, 49 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: all right, So onto business. I'll be asking these people 50 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: three questions offense, defense, general question at the end points 51 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: giving out every winner. There will be a loser. Hopefully 52 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: there will not be too much strength between these two. 53 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: Once five times episode is over, and always make sure 54 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: everyone is listening, be more focused on what they have 55 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: what they have to say, rather than my opinion who 56 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: wins or loses. Both these guys are going to deliver 57 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: great points. They always do every time they're wrong on 58 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: the podcast. And with all that said, let's jump right 59 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: into it, and we're gonna start off with the big 60 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: news right. D Q said that he's going to take 61 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: over play calling duties from Joe Witt. He will be 62 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: going back up to the tress box and dqbcom plays 63 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: from the field and that's going to be hopefully something 64 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: that's going to change the defense, right because they have 65 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: dripped dramatically to the point where they are rung among 66 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: the bottom five, bottom ten in just about every single 67 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: category you can think of. And something's got to change 68 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: either way, and they cannot. They have to stick inside 69 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: it if they cannot lose by twenty one, twenty two, 70 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: twenty plus points every week from now only one pun 71 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: allout in the last two weeks, and that again, something 72 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: that has to change. So what do you guys expect 73 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: out of this defense now that DQ is taking over 74 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: on the headset here and you know what one we'll 75 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: start with. 76 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: You expect a lot more aggressiveness by this defense. I think. 77 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: I think Joe Wait has been hesitant to send in 78 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 4: exotic blitzes. He's always in his best conference and said 79 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 4: that we're one of the leading blitzing teams in the league. 80 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 4: You know, he points out at stats. I'm sure you 81 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 4: know that that's correct. But if it's been something that's 82 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 4: still causing problems for you as a defense, that means 83 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 4: that that type of blitz doesn't work. To mean there's 84 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 4: more different types of blitz, safety, blitz, corner, blitz, zone blitz. 85 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 4: There's there's different types of zone schemes that that or 86 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 4: blitz schemes. I'm sorry that should be used, and I 87 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 4: feel like dan Quinn might be able to unlatch a 88 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 4: little bit more from blitzing schemes. 89 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: So there is there are some things with that that, 90 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: uh that I want to touch on later. But I 91 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: do like the initial points about bringing more pressure because 92 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: I think they definitely have to do something to put 93 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: pressure all these pusant quarterback, especially with guys like to 94 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: who you know, when he's hot, he can be pretty good. 95 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: Now more is the same question, what do you expect 96 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: out of this defense with d Q on the heads 97 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: that call on the play? 98 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 3: Can I just start by saying that I'm looking at 99 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: Juan straight in the face, so it's kind of strange. 100 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 3: Usually I'm not looking at my opponent, but today it 101 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 3: is quite different. We're here Madrid just looking at each 102 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 3: other as. 103 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 2: We answer the questions. 104 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 3: So let me add to that the fact that he 105 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 3: can only go up from this point moving forward right, 106 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: the fact that the commanders are bottom near the bottom 107 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: in a lot of these categories. With dan Quinn as 108 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 3: the defensive coordinator, you can only get better. Why do 109 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 3: I say that, Not that I'm trying to dismiss what 110 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 3: skill with during the season, but I think that somebody 111 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 3: less the experience that has the repertoire to up any defense. 112 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 3: I believe that they're gonna get better. Look at what 113 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 3: he did with Seattle, look at what he did with 114 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: Dallas as well. 115 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: He turned those those teams around. 116 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 3: Defensively speaking, I feel that I feel that the team's 117 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 3: going to be a lot more motivated and they're going 118 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: to have a reason to play. 119 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: They already do, right, They want to end the season. 120 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: They want to kind of make sure that that image 121 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 3: that people have of them this year is not the 122 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 3: one they end up with. We still have a lot 123 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 3: of games left, so I think that with Joe Witt, 124 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 3: perhaps they're gonna get fired up. 125 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: They're going to have a reason to go out there 126 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 2: and perform. 127 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 3: And I, like I said, I truly believe that with 128 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 3: Dan Quinn as the defensive pointer making the calls, this 129 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 3: defense can only get better. 130 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's always something to be said, right about changing 131 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: in the guard, getting a little bit of a spark energy. 132 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: We see that on a larger scale, right whenever there's 133 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: a head coach's lego and in comes in. They always 134 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: somehow seem to find a way to win that next 135 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: game for whatever reason. So one you brought to bringing 136 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: more pressure, and I think that is interesting because again 137 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: I said, like, that's something I think they need to do. 138 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: But you look at this defense and you have three 139 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: year starting defensive ends Al dron Payne on a suspension, 140 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: You've got your corner position is decimated through injuries. Trey 141 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: Emos is on ir now probably for the end of 142 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: the year with it with his fractic fibula. Like, they 143 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: have a serious problem in a lot of ways just 144 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: because they don't have a lot of bodies out there. 145 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: So how do you expect them to bring the pressure? 146 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: And how a DQ to call some of some of 147 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: these pressures to bring these blitzes whenever you have such 148 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: a limited amount of personnel there. 149 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: I mean, for me, I think I'd rather go out 150 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: at least trying to limit the quarterbacks time in the pocket, 151 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 2: trying tips to limit what Tua can do, which is 152 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: armed by cutting the amount of time that he has 153 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 2: to pick for his receivers. Because right now, whatever scheme 154 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: that has been run through these last two games, it's 155 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: not working and you're not even bringing you know, all 156 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: these exotic blitzes. So if you're gonna beat me over 157 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: the top with one on one all over the field, 158 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 2: I'd rather it be at least with hundred three seconds 159 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: under flore sections of time to the quarterback to throw, 160 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: because right now we've seen it, Golf had every. 161 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 4: Possible moment to throw from the pocket with the comfortable pocket. 162 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 2: This team has been produced and sat two games, so 163 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 2: the pressure is going to be important. I think the 164 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: blitz is going to be. 165 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I'm not sure what the time to 166 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: throw was for for Golf, but it had to have 167 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: been up there in terms of some of the best 168 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: of the league in a week to week basis right, 169 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: because I mean, not only was he having no pressure 170 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: at all, it just seems like he was. The players 171 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: were just wide open and that's just not a good 172 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: recipe for success. Now, moys, that's before we move on. 173 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit more about the 174 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: corn position that I touched on here. Tram Us obviously out, 175 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: probably done for the year. Marshall Lanem we're definitely out 176 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: for the year. You've got Jonathan Jones who seems like 177 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna be maybe okay, but did leave that leave 178 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: that game earlier. So what what do you think about 179 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: this core position and what can they do with the 180 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: limited bodies that they have, whether Monoghany or Mike Samorsill, 181 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: how do you what do you think they're going to 182 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: do with that position with you know, guys like Waddle 183 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: and and all these other Miami have You've got to 184 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: fight them up. 185 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 3: You've got to fire these guys up. You just mentioned 186 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: touch on the fact that there's not enough bodies. Players 187 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 3: on the bench are on the bench for a reason, right, 188 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 3: They've been out played by by the start. I truly 189 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 3: believe in that you have a limited squad, your your 190 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 3: best here is to get them fired up, to believe 191 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 3: and what's happening to believe in the fact that you 192 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 3: have to end the season on the high note, right 193 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 3: if you don't make it to the playoffs, And I 194 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 3: believe that in the past, we've seen Dan Quinn and 195 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: company kind of just take out the best and players, 196 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 3: and I think you have to tap into that once again. 197 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 2: Some of these players are perhaps not going to play 198 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 2: up to the standard and level that we want them to. 199 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 3: But he has to make sure that when they're playing 200 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 3: and when they're on the field, they're giving you absolutely 201 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 3: everything that they have because we have no more options, 202 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 3: so you have to play the cards that he dealt with. 203 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 3: And I think that that's why d Q is a 204 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 3: good choice as in stepping in as a defensive coordinator 205 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 3: right because I believe he's the type of coach that 206 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 3: can motivate players and get them to play at a 207 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 3: higher level or a lot more, a lot better than 208 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 3: what they're expected to. 209 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: I think so too. If you look at Decy's track 210 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: track record right with Dallas, I mean that that defense 211 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: was one of the best in the league for however 212 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: long he was there. I think with the exception maybe 213 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: the first year, then all of a sudden they're leading 214 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: the league and turnovers, they're they're just playing well in 215 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: every single metric possible. And maybe that's not going to 216 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: be a completely realistic expectation, but I do saysting noticeably 217 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: better from this defense, especially gets an offense that is 218 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: in Miami that has also struggled a little bit here 219 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: at times. We'll move on, but before I do, I'm 220 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: going to give one the point here, Like the points 221 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: he made about the No. Sax and two game, And 222 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: I think that's very important, especially like a guy again 223 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: into it. Like I said, who's going to really like 224 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: when he gets hot? He's a he's a pretty precise 225 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: passer of when he and when he's healthy as well. 226 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: We'll flip the field and go over to the offense 227 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: here because this is the corners are also banged up 228 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: on the defense. The wide receivers are also just really 229 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: banged up as well. And I think you've got to 230 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: get something out of those guys, right. You don't really 231 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: know exactly what's gonna be because he's got Diva out there, sure, 232 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: but Dylan Lane has been up and down at times, 233 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: and Diccaffery is on ir you you've got I mean 234 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: Groby chosen his reason come up right. Traylon Burns had 235 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: clashed a little bit, but he's also he also didn't 236 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: make a strip to Spans. He's gonna be out. And 237 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: you look at this group and it's like, okay, like 238 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: what do we make of this team? 239 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: As well? 240 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: We make of this unit here And I think no 241 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: matter what close case Kingsbury does, he has to find 242 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: a way to get some of that pressure off of them. 243 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: To kind of make them plays. So, moys, this will 244 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: start with you here, and I'm I just want to 245 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: want you want to want to know, like what do 246 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: you think this that Kingsbury is gonna do to kind 247 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: of help these receivers out, because like I said, there 248 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: is a little bit of a talent, it be there. 249 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 3: Well, I think you mentioned that right. This is a 250 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 3: team that's very limited as well on the offensive side. 251 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 3: Is it's just unfortunate the fact that the injury bug 252 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 3: has hid Washington so hard this year. But players that 253 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 3: are on the field that normally would not be on 254 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 3: the field have to make the best out of their opportunity. 255 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 3: Talking about Jalen Lane, he had a couple of great 256 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: catches last game, But what I want from Jalen is 257 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 3: I want him to be more consistent. We know the 258 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 3: talent's there, we know that he's a great player, but 259 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 3: he has to come up clutch in some of these 260 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 3: plays where he's dropping bass. Like I said, we saw good, 261 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 3: good moments during last game, but we needed to be 262 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 3: on a consistent basis. 263 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: I think that's going to play a big role. 264 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 3: And this is also an opportunity for a guy like 265 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 3: Robbie chosen who who perhaps would not be in the 266 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 3: NFL if it wasn't for this opportunity. Therefore, I think 267 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 3: that once he comes in, he has to take advantage 268 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 3: of that. And we saw moments like that when we 269 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 3: play Dallas. He had a lot of catches. Unfortunately there 270 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 3: was not much that could be done. So I think 271 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 3: that something that's going to play a big role. And 272 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 3: now I'll move to the running back position. We know 273 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 3: that Chris Rodriguez is going to have a lot more 274 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 3: participation in this game. I think that he's also a 275 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 3: guy that hungry for a chance to prove himself. He's 276 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 3: the type of guy that Kingsbury said he's taking with 277 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 3: the defense is showing him. 278 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: So I think that's a big deal. 279 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 3: But most importantly Bill right, Bill Krossky Marrit who started 280 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 3: off the season on fire Rookie of the Week averaging 281 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 3: six yards per carry. 282 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: We need to see that version of that guy. 283 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 3: We haven't seen him since we were in LA against 284 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 3: the Chargers. 285 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: This is a good game for him to get back 286 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 2: on the track. 287 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 3: I think that he if he's able to do that, 288 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 3: he'll open up the lanes for the wide receivers. 289 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: I certainly hope so, And I mean you mentioned Robbie Chosen. 290 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he really was like probably their best receiver 291 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: whenever he was playing playing in Dallas, like he looked 292 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: like he was ready to go. And that's something that 293 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: codins Aft said that they were really impressed by in 294 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: his workouts and everything. And I think he could possibly 295 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: do some for you, whether it's you know, I mean, 296 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with Marcus Mariota and all that 297 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: other stuff. But one same question over to you, like 298 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: and maybe like you know what is meant to the 299 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: run game, but like I mean and Chris Rodriguez, but 300 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: how do you feel about that group overall? Considering that 301 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: you know, Bill has had his rookie moment of times, 302 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: Rodriguez has you know, not gotten a lot of carries yet, 303 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: and mc nibble Nichols does more of like the change 304 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: of role. How do you feel about that group and 305 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: all do you think they can do to kind of 306 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: take some of the pressure off these receivers. 307 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 2: I mean, Zabra, I'm wondering if you're actually coming to 308 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 2: screen to be like the receiver because we're like one 309 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 2: injury away, you having to be out there and line 310 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: up for this team. But if we're talking about the 311 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 2: running backs, I've talked to much just a lot about this. 312 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: I felt that we put a lot of pressure on 313 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 2: having a lead back and Bill Cross, you Marrit, someone 314 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 2: who carried the loads, someone to be the bell cow 315 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 2: of this team, and maybe he wasn't ready for it. 316 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: And I feel like the rotation that the Dolphins worked 317 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 2: better when it was a rotation of running backs at 318 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: the beginning of the year. The running game, at least, 319 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 2: so in that aspect, I think that will help your receivers. 320 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 4: If your run game is clicking, and we know that 321 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 4: the Dolphins are not very good, particularly against the run. 322 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 2: That might give a little bit more space, a little 323 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: bit more Christmas. Whereas wide receivers to have a chance 324 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: to make place, we know that they're not proven names 325 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: of the league right now. We know that there's still 326 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 2: the guys like Lane who's trying to make a name 327 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 2: for himself, children is trying to come back and being 328 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: someone in this league, and other receivers that are more 329 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: and everything like that that they're trying to make something 330 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: for themselves on this team. Over the last couple of weeks, 331 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: they've just been completely blanketed because the run game has 332 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 2: not been clicking to the commander. So the run game 333 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 2: is important. Also, I think zach Ertz to be the 334 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 2: veteran that he's paid to be on this team. 335 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 4: Lots of penalties, lots of prestat penalties for him over 336 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 4: the last three games, a couple of drops healing there. 337 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 4: I think sometimes we rely on Earth to be like 338 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 4: that safety blanket you just have the last two games. 339 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that's emblematically of the entire offense, 340 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: like with the pieces just haven't exactly performed the way 341 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: you'd want them to. And I think I do like 342 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: the point you made about the run game because yeah, 343 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: I mean we've we've seen defenses that are not good 344 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: against the run going up against the commanditive and it 345 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: hasn't really mattered as much because there haven't really been 346 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: that many there's not really a legitimate threat outside of 347 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: devot at receiver and these these decons haven't been able 348 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: to over commit to them. And while they've run for 349 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: one hundred yards every now and again, it hasn't seemed 350 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: like it's been efficient as as it was earlier in 351 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: the year. And you know one you you mentioned like 352 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: earths and all other stuff, and what is this I 353 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: want to hear from you, like how, oh you know, 354 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: is there anything that scheme wise that Cliff can do 355 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: to get some of these receivers over. Maybe it's like 356 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: a quick screen or something that they can do to 357 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 1: design them open to get to make these easy receptions 358 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: for Mariota to to make to them. 359 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 3: I think you gotta take advantage of the fact that 360 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 3: you have a guy in Marcus Mariota that's really good 361 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 3: with the RFO. You got to use it right. I 362 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 3: believe that he's that's one of his weapons. You have 363 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 3: to cater the game to Marcus Mariota. He's been solid 364 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 3: when we've seen them. I can't truly put a loss 365 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 3: that you know that Washington's had on Marcus Mariota because 366 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 3: when he's come out, he's given them an opportunity to 367 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 3: win the games and we've just been outscored. It goes 368 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 3: back to the defensive side. But I think offensively speaking, 369 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 3: Marcus Mariota has registered better numbers, slightly better than Jaden 370 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 3: Daniels this season, So I think you have to take 371 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 3: advantage of the fact that, oh, yes, we're playing with 372 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 3: a backup quarterback. 373 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 2: But it's not just a backup quarterback. 374 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 3: It's a guy that's venus order in this league trade 375 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 3: very long time, that knows how to win, that has 376 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 3: particular skills that could be applied to this game in 377 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 3: order to confuse the defense to the Miami Dolphins. So 378 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 3: I think, take advantage of Marcus Mariota and use his 379 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 3: strength in your favor, use the RPO that's going to 380 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 3: allow you to open up other lanes. So I feel 381 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 3: that if that could be done and execute it properly, 382 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 3: Washington can give themselves an opportunity to compete and possibly 383 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 3: win this game. 384 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been impressed with Mariota. And you know, as 385 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: some people know, I grew up a Tidens fan. I 386 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: remember when they drafted Mariota. He's kind of been that guy, 387 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: especially with RPOs. It's like it's been one of the 388 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: best parts of his game. For Bass of Today's at Oregon, 389 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: and you really really see that still the professional game. 390 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: Now one before you move on, you mentioned Er, and 391 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm interested in the tiny group because you've got John Bates, 392 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: You've got Ben Senate, and well Earth's obviously you know 393 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: he needs to step up. I'm curious to know what 394 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: you think about the rest of this tight end group 395 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: and whether or not got like Ben Sinnett can take 396 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: on a larger role to help out this this passing unit, 397 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: and maybe even John Bates who doesn't catch a lot 398 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: of balls, but this has some pretty solid hands. 399 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 2: I mean, I think I can speak for the fan 400 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: base and people in the DMB that we've been waiting 401 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 2: for a senate time to shine with the Commanders. I mean, 402 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 2: everyone praises that he's a great blocking tight end. He's 403 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 2: growing in the blocking part of his game, but he 404 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 2: was the second round pick. Like for me, I think 405 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 2: I would expect more from a second round pick than 406 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 2: just being a block room tight end if you're going 407 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 2: to select the tight end. So I definitely think that 408 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 2: there needs to be maybe a concerted effort to get 409 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 2: him the ball. We need to see what he has. 410 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 2: You know, the season completely is not lost yet, the 411 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 2: season mathematically is still in this chase. I know it's 412 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: not time to develop that. I know it's not time 413 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: to see what you got with these kids, but we 414 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 2: do need to see if we have some weapons on 415 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 2: our offense currently that can help out this team, and 416 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 2: they can alleviate whatever pains you may have on in 417 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 2: the wide deceiver room. And I think Senate, you know, 418 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 2: lining up with with with Ertz as like a double 419 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 2: tight end formations might be something that you should explore, 420 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 2: might be something that you could confuse the defense with, 421 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 2: not in just a blocking sense, but actually past past 422 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 2: concepts give the kid an opportunity. I'm all for that. 423 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 2: I think we have a lot of young guys that 424 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 2: we haven't seen this year. 425 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 3: I think we have to see what we have right 426 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 3: moving forward, and we're gonna build the team for the future. 427 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 3: Then some of these older veterans are not going to 428 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 3: be here in a couple of years. 429 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: Yeah no, I mean that's true. 430 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 2: I mean we love some of you there, especially in 431 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: a time like this. 432 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: Yeah no, I mean we we love Urgs. We love 433 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: some of these other guys, But I mean they were 434 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: they were signing these one temporary year deals for a reason. 435 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: And I mean and plus like on top of that, 436 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: like this, like we said, the bodies just aren't there 437 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: right now. Somebody's got to go out there and play, 438 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: and I think you know, you might as well see 439 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: what you have while you're off competing and trying to 440 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: keep yourself mathematically alive in the playoffs to do so 441 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: before we move on to the final question, more than this, 442 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: you get the point because I like this. I like 443 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: what you said about Mariota because look, yeah, buddy, Marioda 444 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: had he completed seventy two point seven percent of his 445 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: passes against Detroit. I mean, I think if you look, 446 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: if you look at you know, and we're not throwing 447 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: the defense at the bus or anything like that, but 448 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: like if you look at it, like I mean, they 449 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: after after a slow start, they just seem to move 450 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: against that, against that top ten Detroit Detroit Lions defense, 451 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: and I'd be curious to see if they can finally 452 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: get off to this faster start on offense, see what 453 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: they can finally do with Mariota out there. 454 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 2: So final question, Yes, I don't want to put any 455 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 2: pressure on you. Yeah, but you know, the loser of 456 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 2: this this battle pays for the drinks at the bar after. 457 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 2: Oh man, there's a little bit of pressure on this 458 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: on this this next question. So I hope more is 459 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 2: ready to bring it. 460 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: I love it, I love love it. 461 00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 2: I love it, love it. 462 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: Best to go along with it, all, right? Final question, 463 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: Tiga stakes are high. The drinks are on the line here. 464 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: And for the last question, I think if you look 465 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: at this this Miami offense, they're the two biggest weapons. 466 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: Obviously are Tua, who has had his ups and downs 467 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: over the course for his career, but playing pretty decent 468 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: right now, I would say, And then you've got a 469 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: Change who is I mean after that monster game he 470 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 1: had last week against the Bills, I think a lot 471 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: of people are looking at him to see what he's 472 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: going to be able to do against the Samanta's defense. 473 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: So simple question here for you guys. If you had 474 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: to pick one, and obviously you want to pick both. 475 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: If if you had to pick one, who would you 476 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: want the defense to stop the most, between a Change 477 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: or Tua one, let's start up with you men. 478 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 2: For me, it's simple. If you look at the defense 479 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: for Washington, we have struggled with running backs who can 480 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 2: basically get to the outside. We're talking about about games 481 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 2: against Bijon Robinson, if we're talking about games against Switch, 482 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 2: if we're talking about last week against Gibbs. Any running 483 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 2: back who has any threat to be part of the 484 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 2: passion game and get to the outside of our defense 485 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 2: has killed us in the past. So you have to 486 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 2: somehow find a way to limit this running back in 487 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 2: the HM who is versatile, who can that's passed out 488 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 2: of the back? Deeald who can get out on the 489 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 2: edge fast. I think the key to the victory is 490 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 2: somehow stopping Hm. 491 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: He definitely didn't have a fantastic game against the Bills, 492 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: for sure, And I mean I watched that game. I'm like, oh, 493 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: my witness, Like that's gonna be a problem for us. 494 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 2: So more. 495 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 3: Man, you know what I mean, Sach, You're gonna have 496 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 3: a difficult time right now because it's definitely gonna be 497 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 3: a choice. I strongly disagree when it went on. See, 498 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the other side of the coin. I 499 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 3: think we have to worry about the pass. I think 500 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 3: taus the key, and we can stop Tua, we win 501 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 3: this game. 502 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 2: Why do I say it. 503 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 3: That because the Washington Commanders are among the worst teams 504 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 3: when it comes to the past. They're thirty first when 505 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 3: it comes to total yards allowed. I mean, I'm sorry, 506 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 3: they're thirty first. Yet when total yards allowed against the past, 507 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 3: and they're a team that's allowing seven plus yards per 508 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 3: pass per attempts, that's the bottom. Like it doesn't get worse. 509 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 3: When we're talking about stats and looking at the numbers. 510 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 3: I believe that the pass is the key. They're not 511 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 3: far off, far off. 512 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: When we're talking about the run game. I was gonna 513 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 2: tell you, I thought that that was a trick question because. 514 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 3: They're pretty similar, and it becomes a matter of choice, 515 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 3: which one do you what's your poison? 516 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 2: Right, But if you look at. 517 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 3: The numbers, if you look at the stats, Washington's far 518 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 3: worse against the past than against the rush. 519 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 2: Therefore, I believe that you have to limit the past. 520 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 3: You have to limit these explosive pass his plays that 521 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 3: have heard Washington the entire season, and it goes back 522 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 3: to communication. It goes back to being in the right 523 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 3: place when when Washington's on defense. 524 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 2: It's something we have not been able to solve. 525 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 3: We talked about it early in the season, we were 526 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 3: talking about what is happening. 527 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 2: Joe Witz spoke on the matter. 528 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 3: I think that if you can solve that issue, and 529 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 3: it's going to be a difficult issue to solve, because 530 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,719 Speaker 3: once again, we've been talking this entire time about how 531 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 3: Washington is limited, how a lot of these thoughters are 532 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 3: out some of the cornerbacks are no longer going to 533 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 3: be available because they're out for the year due to injury. 534 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 3: There or I think you have to find a solution 535 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 3: when it comes to the past, and if you're able 536 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 3: to do that, you give yourself an opportunity to win 537 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 3: this game. 538 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: Oh man, that was a great point there, and that 539 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: you're right, this is really tough because one is given. 540 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 2: Me death looks right now, Bro, you've had that looks. 541 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 2: He's like, I'm killing you after this conversation is over. 542 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 2: Oh man. 543 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: So I look at I see One's point here because 544 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: I look at Jamier Gibbs and I see the night 545 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,479 Speaker 1: that he had against us, and I think, wow, Ashan 546 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: can do exactly that against this commander's defense. On the 547 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: other hand, you look at what Sam Donald did. Do 548 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: you guys know how many passes consecutively Sam Donald completed 549 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: in in the like in that game against him? 550 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 2: It was perfect up until the interception. 551 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. And then you look at what Jared 552 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: Goff did, and Jared Goff twenty five to thirty three 553 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: three and twenty yards nine point seven yards per pack 554 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: and ninety four point one qbr like that's and I 555 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: think that is just it's you. You mentioned it. They've's 556 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: been a problem for this team for a while and 557 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,959 Speaker 1: it has continued to be an issue. 558 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 2: Man, this is the one more thing, that thing that 559 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 2: the judge judge. If you're able to limit the run, 560 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 2: then the past will also come, you know, under that wing, 561 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 2: and you'll be able to limit it. The reason why 562 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 2: Golf had such a great game, or even at some 563 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: point Caleb Williams have such a great game because the 564 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 2: running back was able to bail him out. The running back, 565 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 2: the running game, or the broken tackles as a defense 566 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 2: were able to build that team out from whatever you know, 567 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 2: run that they were in at that time. So for me, 568 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 2: if you stop the run automatically, then the past game 569 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 2: you can you can limit that too, because if you're focused, 570 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 2: if a running back is getting six, seven, eight yards 571 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 2: a clip and it's you know, third and short every time, 572 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 2: you're definitely gonna give up pass yards and two is 573 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 2: definitely going to become an important factor. But for me, 574 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 2: the most important thing is not let the running back 575 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 2: go wild. Okay, I'm just trying to fight with this guy. 576 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to fight with him. I disagree. 577 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 3: I think that I think that if it were one 578 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 3: or two games, I would agree with that point. But 579 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 3: it's been all season. It's been our Achilles tendon. We've 580 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 3: been burned all season. That's why I'm excited for d 581 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 3: Q to step in and take over this defense and 582 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 3: see what he can do, call and challenge some of these. 583 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 2: Players out right, that's what we need. 584 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 3: Like I said, if I'm being fair, I thought it 585 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 3: was a trick question when when I saw it, I 586 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 3: was like, wait, you can make an argument for either 587 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 3: or and they would both be right in my opinion. 588 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 3: But you know, I'll stick with my with my initial thought. 589 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 3: I I think we have to we have to un 590 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 3: pressure the quarterback. We have not done that in a 591 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 3: few weeks. We have not even made the quarterback uncomfortable. 592 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 3: We're making quarterbacks look like MVP candidates. That has to change. 593 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 3: I hope this weekend is the week where we change 594 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 3: it with Dan quince Stead being into the role of DC. 595 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 3: And if that happens, then I believe we closed a 596 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 3: year in a good note. 597 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: All right, So he both of you guys, first and 598 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: second points both excellent, And this is a third straight 599 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: week where where I really wish I believed in ties, 600 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,479 Speaker 1: which I don't because there's just no way you can 601 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: do a tie in this situation. And I think I 602 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: think I have to go with Moistas on this in 603 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: the win because you're right for my drinks, Bro, the 604 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: quarterback drinks, so that they these these plays have just 605 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: been wide open the quarterbacks. They the past two or 606 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: three quarterbacks I've had really just i mean almost career 607 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: nights out of the commandity defense. And yeah, I think 608 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: I gotta go with Moss because I think it's I 609 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: think it's a really really good point there, mores Ass. 610 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: How do you feel about taking the win and the drinks? 611 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 2: Hey, I feel great. 612 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 3: Normally, you know, I'm always humble, sad, you know, I'm 613 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 3: always humble, feet on the ground, always congratulate my opponent. 614 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: But tonight I want to see him want to suffer. 615 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 3: I want him to pay for these drinks because he's 616 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 3: been staring at me like he wants to beat me 617 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 3: up all night. 618 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 2: Bro.

Now. 638 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,479 Speaker 2: In all honesty, we've had a blast in Madrid so far. 639 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 3: I honestly, I've never experienced so much attention on on 640 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 3: on the Commander's brand, right, there's so much love, there's 641 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 3: so much interest in learning what we're doing as a 642 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 3: as an organization. On the Spanish side, on the English side, 643 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 3: and I think I truly enjoy that we were at 644 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 3: Real Madrid's training facility today and the amount of people 645 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 3: that came up to us just ask, you know, like 646 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 3: what do you guys think about this? Or can you 647 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 3: connect us with you know, the guys they see on you. 648 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 3: But all this stuff we do, I think it's been amazing. 649 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 3: I think this is great. I know it sucks that 650 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 3: we're three and seven, it definitely does. And I understand 651 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 3: the fan base. I understand the frustration. But like I 652 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 3: told one of you know, off on a separate conversation, 653 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 3: when we think about what's happened and what this team 654 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 3: has been through, I would choose this scenario a million times. 655 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. I understand that too, because I remember some of 656 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: those days where it was you know, it's three and thirteen, 657 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, seven and nine, or obviously that twenty twenty 658 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: season was a little bit different.
