1
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: What's going on, y'all? This is another episode of the

2
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: Beatdown podcast.

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: Welcome in.

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Senior writer for the Washington Commanders, Zach Selby.

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: I don't know about y'all.

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm so kind of reeling from that New Orleans Saints

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: game where the Commanders survive a surging Switzer Rallery in

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: the second half and he misses the two point conversion

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: and they win. They get to nine wins, the best

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: starts since nineteen ninety two. So the Bible is still hot.

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: Like I said, they're still a very good position for

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They've got three games left, starting with a

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: division matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, who are all a

14
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: little bit of a role themselves with Saquon Barkley, with

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurst, A J. Brown, DeVonta Smith being beasts as

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: they always are. And the last time they played each other,

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: I think it was Thursday Night a football. The Commanders

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: had a chance to win except for that fourth down

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: play that ended up being going the other direction for

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: the Commanders, and from that point the Eagles just took

21
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: went away with it and ended up winning twenty six

22
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: to eighteen. It should be an interesting matchup between these

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: two teams heading into this next battle here at Northwest Stadium,

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: And how will the Commanders possibly be able to upset

25
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: the Eagles and give them their first loss since Week four?

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: I believe, well that is what we're gonna be talking

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: about today. Joining me will be Scott Jackson. You can

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: find us him on Big one hundred game days for us.

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: You can send him on Scott Jackson Joe as well. Scott,

30
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: how you do it?

31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: Man? Very good, good to be with you, Zach.

32
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,919
Speaker 1: And we also have Eagles insider Davis Badero. Dave, how's

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: it been been to Watson's been a while since we

34
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: last spoke.

35
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: Yes, it has been God good to see you. Good

36
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: to hear from you. And Zach, how you do it? Yeah?

37
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: I mean it's been a while.

38
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 4: And the Eagles, I mean, what a role you say,

39
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 4: a little bit of a role. Ten straight wins, franchise record,

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 4: It's been just an incredible pivot from a Week four

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: loss in Tampa Bay. Since that time, Eagles go to

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: a bye week and then if come back and they've

43
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: just been a dominant, dominant football team. So looking forward

44
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 4: to this game on Sunday against Washington should be.

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 3: A great win.

46
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Well, you know we can't hype you have too much,

47
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, But but you are correct, You're absolutely right.

48
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: But guys listening, you know you know the deal.

49
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: Here.

50
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: I'll be asking these guys three questions about the matchup

51
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: for this game between the Commanders and the Eagles. There

52
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: will be points giving out an end of each round.

53
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: And since it is my podcast, it is my show,

54
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: I get to do whatever I want. I get to

55
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: decide a winner. But as I always say, you should

56
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: be more focused on what these two guys have to

57
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: say about the matchup because they are the stars of

58
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: the show. They're pinion matters far more than mine. That's

59
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: being said, let's go ahead and get right into it.

60
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: I think we should start with safe on Barkley here, right,

61
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: because he's an Eagles off instead has just been playing

62
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: out of its mind. He really has been the biggest

63
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: difference for them. He has sixteen hundred and eighty eight

64
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: yards really on pace for a two thousand yard season,

65
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: one of the rare currences in NFL history.

66
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: And as a fan.

67
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: Of the just the game and of running the ball

68
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: out of the former office the moment, I would love

69
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: to see him hit that number as someone who works

70
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: for the Commanders.

71
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: I hope he does not. He hope he just has

72
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: a terrible game against us.

73
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: But all that being said, the chances are he's going

74
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: to be a difficult challenge for the Commanders to stop.

75
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: And Dave will start with you here, since you're closer

76
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: to Saque than us here and you've been able to

77
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: get a really first hand look at his success. I

78
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: imagine that you've seen a lot of different game plans

79
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: for how opposing team's gonna be able to stop Saquon Barkley.

80
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: But what are you expecting from the Commander's defense in

81
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: this second matchup turn how they're going to attack him?

82
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it could be very similar to what

83
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh tried to do on Sunday.

84
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: Single heighs stafety, loads the box and.

85
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: Forced Jalen Hurst to throw the football. The Feelers were very,

86
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: very physical against the Eagles. They held Take one to

87
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: sixty five yards and they made the Eagles win in

88
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: the passing game. And Eagles did win in the passing game.

89
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: So if your goal is to take Taque out, you've

90
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 4: got to put eight, sometimes nine men in the box.

91
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 4: You've got to play downhill defense and you have to

92
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 4: be ready to go get the extremely physical Eagles offensive line.

93
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: So I mean, I'm not.

94
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 4: Sure there's a single formula to stop takeuon because clearly

95
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 4: the numbers would suggest that, you know, he's been relatively.

96
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 3: Unstoppable this season.

97
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: Defenses have tried a number of things to very little success.

98
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: He is just a great football player in a system

99
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 4: that's just works with an offensive line is dominant. So

100
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 4: I would imagine that Washington, should they want to really

101
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 4: take Taque out of the equation, they are going to

102
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 4: have to fill up that box with as many defensive

103
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 4: players as they can.

104
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: And credit word is due. That Eagles offensive line is

105
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: just exceptional. They've got Pro bowlers come, you know, just

106
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: from from left tackle to right tackle, they've they've really

107
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: been strong. I think they're arguably one of the best

108
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: off of the up lines in football. You know, you mentioned,

109
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: you know, just putting eight nine good players the box.

110
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: That's probably how many of the commanders are going to

111
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: need because they have just really struggled in terms of

112
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: stopping the run this year. I think they have a

113
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: lot of one hundred and thirty two rushing yards per game.

114
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: They've improved recently against the Titans and the Saints, but

115
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: they are still in the bottom half of the league

116
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: in that regard till twenty fifth, if my memory started

117
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: me correctly. Now, Scott, like I said, you know, the

118
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: Commanders have that's been probably the biggest wigs for this

119
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: defense all year. So what are you expecting from from

120
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: Washington because in a season have a lot of really

121
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: good running backs they've seen. I mean, safe one is

122
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: undoubtedly like one of, if not the best that they've seen.

123
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean him and Derek Henry for sure.

124
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 5: I mean you look at that game going back to

125
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 5: November fourteenth, the Commanders actually did a pretty good job

126
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 5: for three quarters right on Saquad Barkley. He had those

127
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 5: two big runs and two big touchdown runs against them,

128
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 5: and I think those arecounted for sixty two of us

129
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 5: one hundred forty six on those two carries that we're

130
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 5: both tds and and with what twenty six or one

131
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 5: forty six and two touchdowns. But I think thought of

132
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 5: a similar approach. You know, clearly you want to take

133
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 5: him out of the game. I also think you know,

134
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 5: you got to also be realistic about it too. I

135
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 5: think the other the other thing you have to do. Besides,

136
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 5: what you need to do on defense is offensively, you

137
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 5: better be really good and you need to kind of

138
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 5: flip the script on the Eagles a little bit. I mean,

139
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 5: you saw how they played ball control last week and

140
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 5: kept the Steelers off the field. I think you you certainly,

141
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 5: and we've seen this with the Commanders and they've been

142
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 5: successful this year in some of the ways they've taken

143
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 5: other teams, you know, best backs or best players out

144
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 5: of it is by getting leads, you know, playing on

145
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 5: their terms as opposed to playing catchup. I just I

146
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 5: just don't think this is the type of team you

147
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 5: can fall behind against and expect good things to happen,

148
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 5: you know, or you know, too far behind early. And

149
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 5: I think that's going to be a big part of

150
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 5: this game on Sunday. And of course all of us

151
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 5: are excited to see this because you know, this is

152
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 5: a little bit of a different defense with a guy

153
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 5: who we think is a true number one corner. So

154
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 5: it allows you perhaps to be a little bit more

155
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 5: creative and maybe getting those extra players in the box

156
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 5: to deal with Saquon Barkley.

157
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you bring up the first three quarters of

158
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: that game. In the first matchup. They were really good

159
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: against Saque, but he broke out after that that failed

160
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: fourth down conversion that they had and he just went

161
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: off of those two rushing touchdowns to end the game.

162
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,559
Speaker 1: And that kind of brings up my next point here

163
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: is of the sixteen hundred and eighty eight yards, one

164
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: thousand and ninety one of those that come in the

165
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: second half of games, And that was the point that

166
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: Danklin brought up in his press conference that saque is

167
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: really good when he needs to be able to close

168
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: out these games.

169
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: So Dave, like, I.

170
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: Mean, is it there any like magic formula to like

171
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: why he's been able to really close up these games

172
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: that way, or like what have you seen from him

173
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: in the third and fourth quarters and make him so

174
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: special in those moments.

175
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: It's kind of been not just big one of Eagles often,

176
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 4: you know, until last week, they just didn't score in

177
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 4: the first quarter of games. They really struggled early in games,

178
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 4: and they have gotten better and better as the game

179
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 4: has gone along, and Saquon has followed suits. So I

180
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 4: think that there's kind of a correlation between the way

181
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 4: the Eagles offense has been operating in the way Saquon's

182
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 4: efficiency has been you know, increasing during games. So I look,

183
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 4: I mean he he is capable of breaking at any time.

184
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 4: And what Washington needs to do, I think got correct.

185
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 4: Like the Washington offense. The best way to stop Saquon

186
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 4: Barkley is for the Washington offense to have long, time

187
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 4: consuming drives that keeps the Eagles offense off the field,

188
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 4: because at the end of the day, Philadelphia is good

189
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 4: enough offensively that if Taquon is not getting it done

190
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 4: and the yards just aren't there like Pittsburgh, they'll throw

191
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 4: it to a j. Brown and they'll throw it Avonte

192
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 4: Smith and a Jalen hurshelbuster runs. So it's really incumbent

193
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: upon the Washington offense. And I know Washington rail about

194
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 4: really well last week and Jayden Daniels had a nice

195
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 4: game against New Orleans and that may be the way

196
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 4: to do it on Sunday against Eagles.

197
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll definitely see.

198
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I think that's that just brings up

199
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: I think my biggest my other question here is and

200
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: this kind of goes into more of a grander scheme

201
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: for Washington's offense. Here, Scott is in the first half

202
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball for Washington have been really,

203
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: really good. They score fourteen points in the first half

204
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: in the Saints. They scored twenty eight points against the

205
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: Titans three weeks ago. Taking half of games has been

206
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: kind of a different store from it on both sides

207
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: of the ball, particularly on defense. So what do you think,

208
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: like the cause of that is and is there a

209
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: solution especially against an offense like Philadelphia is who is

210
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: so good, and also on offense like I mean, how

211
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: do you use sustain drives against an Eagles defense that

212
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: is i mean playing like the best in the league

213
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: right now.

214
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's it's hard to say. Each week's

215
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 5: been like a different issue in its own. I also think,

216
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 5: let's be real, I mean, there was a stretch of

217
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 5: games that they played Pittsburgh Philadelphia in a five day period.

218
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 5: That's two really good teams, you know, do excellent defenses.

219
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 5: And oh, by the way, did I mention the quarterback

220
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 5: was still dealing with an issue even though they don't

221
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 5: want admit it. I mean, you know physically, I mean

222
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 5: he looks a lot different really since that Eagles game.

223
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 5: If you go back to the Dallas game, even though

224
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 5: they love look better Titans game much better obviously New

225
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 5: Orleans this past week, so I think that's been something

226
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 5: that you could look at as well.

227
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: And last week, I mean, you saw the games act.

228
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just, you know, the penalty has absolutely

229
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 5: killed you. You know, you we could question whether or

230
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 5: not they should have even attempted that long field goal

231
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: with Greg Joseph's and they should just pun him and

232
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 5: pinned him back. But you're just like a lot of

233
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 5: little things added up in that game that kind of

234
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 5: spiraled out of.

235
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: Control on them a little bit.

236
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 5: And you know, as far as like the Tennessee game,

237
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 5: you got a big you don't want to do anything

238
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 5: stupid in the second half. And there's been some other

239
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 5: games this year where they had big leads and they

240
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 5: just kind of you know, took.

241
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: The air of the ball a little bit Carolina as well.

242
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean I think overall, though, would you

243
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 5: like a better, you know, four quarter performance if you're

244
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 5: the Commanders, Absolutely, I'm sure that's what Dan Quinn and

245
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 5: you know, Cliff Kingsbury and obviously Joe Winn on the

246
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 5: defensive side are trying to figure out like what's been lacking.

247
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: But you're just going back to the Eagles game for

248
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 3: a minute, for that.

249
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 5: Thursday night game, you know, Week eleven. I mean a

250
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 5: big problem too was just inability to convert on third

251
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 5: down for the Commanders, which has been one of their

252
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 5: strong suits this year, you know, for the most part

253
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 5: as an offense, you know, six in the league. But

254
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 5: in that game with three of twelve, I mean, you

255
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 5: know you talked about that failed fourth down was another thing.

256
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: But they had the flip, you know, the script flipped.

257
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 5: On them by Philly, and Philly had a big time

258
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: of possession of you know, advantage as well. So yeah,

259
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 5: those are the things they just they got to cut

260
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 5: out some of the stupid penalties and you know, in

261
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 5: particular last week it was it was defense and even

262
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 5: offense with some of the holds. And let's be honest,

263
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 5: that could have been a huge second half if Terry

264
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 5: and and you know and Jay didn't are on the

265
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 5: same page and they missed three bombs. I mean they

266
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 5: were both like inches away and maybe the last one

267
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 5: could have been a p I but whatever. I mean,

268
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 5: but those are just plays that are close to being made,

269
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 5: that have to be made.

270
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, true, all those those plays.

271
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: But Terry, I mean, you're not You're not You're never

272
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: going to get that open in the NFL very out

273
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: let alone three.

274
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 2: Times in the in the game.

275
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: But you're right, it is multi factorial in terms of

276
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: the reasons why Washington has has come up with these

277
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: different kind of sort of problems. And you know, I

278
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: really do hope that you know, the rest did Jaden

279
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: some some some good there with his rib injury, and

280
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: I think after coming out coming off these breaks, I mean,

281
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: as they're getting back into momentum, I think they're gonna

282
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: be able to, you know, give a better fight against

283
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: Philadelphia here, and they're gonna need it for sure. We'll

284
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: move on to the next question, but first you got

285
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: the Tide heading into the second round.

286
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: Both really good points here.

287
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: But we're gonna move on to another player here for

288
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: Washington that was not in the Eagles game. That will

289
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: be marsha On Lattimore. And you know you didn't see

290
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: much of him against the Saints. That's exactly what the

291
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: what the commanders wanted because he had zero targets, zero receptions,

292
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: and zero cadges allowed. That's that's exactly what you want

293
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: against a from from your from your number one corner

294
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: there who is a four time pro bowler, and you

295
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: traded a lot of picks for He'll be going to

296
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: give us an Eagles offense that has, as they mentioned,

297
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: a lot of really good weapons here with AJ Brown

298
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: with the on to Smith, I mean, these guys are

299
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: some of the best in the league and this is

300
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: the match that you exactly want Lattimore to to to

301
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: play against here. So Scott, like, how does having Latimore

302
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: change the dynamic of the defense in terms of how

303
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: they're planned on stopping the Eagle receivers and that offense overall.

304
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 5: Well, I think what we you know, what we suspected,

305
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 5: you know when they made the deal, Like you could

306
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 5: put him on a J.

307
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: Brown, You could put him one bit.

308
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 5: Side of the field and not worry move, you know,

309
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 5: not have to you know, roll coverages, and he's going

310
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 5: to handle his guy, whoever that may be.

311
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 3: Seems like a J.

312
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 5: Brown would be the better of a matchup for him

313
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 5: if they can get that, and if they decide to

314
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 5: travel with them. I mean, he gives you options and

315
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 5: let's be let's also look at it this way. I mean,

316
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 5: and you saw it last week. Mike Sandrastril was was

317
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 5: tested a lot in the in the game against the

318
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 5: Sainctsy did a great job. And you know what, they

319
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 5: tested him in Philly. I mean, the Eagles tested him

320
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 5: and he did a pretty good job against Brown. I

321
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 5: remember one particular play in the red zone where he

322
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 5: stood up strong. So you know, even though he's a

323
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 5: smaller guy, obviously they love him the rookie from Michigan,

324
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 5: you know. I mean, did Dan Quinn talk more about

325
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 5: any pick besides Jai Jaden Daniels than Mike Sainerstrill. I mean,

326
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 5: probably not. He said, you know, after he worked it

327
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 5: out and he said to uh, I guess maybe it

328
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 5: was Adam Peters or the guy's in the car. He's like,

329
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 5: I want us to draft this guy. And it wasn't

330
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 5: you know, it wasn't trying to hide his uh his

331
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 5: interest in this player. So I think from that standpoint,

332
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 5: it gives you a lot of options. We talked about

333
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 5: earlier about dropping guys in the box, you know, having

334
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 5: him out on the field I think makes life a

335
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 5: lot easier for them. And let's see, this is a

336
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 5: huge matchup and this is only his second game back

337
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 5: after a long absence, and you hit it on the

338
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 5: head deck. He really wasn't tested I mean literally was

339
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 5: not tested. They didn't throw a single ball his direction.

340
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 5: Clearly somebody in the Saints front office came down to

341
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 5: the coach and said, we can't look bad on this trade.

342
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: Please do not test this guy.

343
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 5: Even if you know, even if he's open, if you

344
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 5: think he's open, don't throw that direction. But it was

345
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 5: kind of a weird thing to see. But yeah, I mean,

346
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 5: I think he just gives them a lot of options.

347
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 5: But as Dan Quinn pointed out a couple occasions like, look,

348
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 5: that still doesn't mean the guy's you know, are going

349
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 5: to be better tacklers in the a gap in the beginning,

350
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 5: you know, like guys have to come up and make plays.

351
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 5: Talking with the linebackers and the and the tackles and

352
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 5: the safeties, they still have to make plays.

353
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: You know.

354
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 5: The Lattimore can't handle that for him, but for them.

355
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 5: But he's certainly going to give them more options and

356
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 5: more ability to be creative and how they want to

357
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 5: cover a guy like a J.

358
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: Brown.

359
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's always been I think one of the

360
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: biggest benefit of having Marshawn is not necessarily just adding

361
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: a player of his caliber, is how he affects the

362
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: players around him and his teammates around him, and you

363
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: can see how they've they've sort of adjusted the way

364
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: that they've done their personnel to fit people in probably

365
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: better spots now, Dave. You know, like I said, Marshaan

366
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: was not in the game against the Eagles there on

367
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football, But I mean, have they have the

368
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles player has been asked about Marshawn and plug

369
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: plus like, how how do you think that the Eagles

370
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: are going to approach having a guy at Marshaan's caliber

371
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: going up against him in the Commander secondary?

372
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, A Day and DeVante have not spoken to the

373
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: media yet. They yesterday with the media availability, so they'll

374
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 4: speak today or tomorrow, and I'm sure they'll be asked

375
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 4: about Marshawn Lattimore. A great football player, big addition to

376
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 4: the Washington Commander's defense changes things for sure.

377
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 3: Gives matchup option to.

378
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 4: Dan Quinn in that defense, and you can go one

379
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 4: on one with confidence with Marshall Lattimore. That said, the

380
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 4: Eagles have multiple weapons here and aj is, if in

381
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 4: fact it is aj Aj is a very very difficult

382
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 4: guy to match up against. And so Marshawn Lattimore is

383
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 4: is and with the coaches I have talked about him.

384
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 4: Excellent football player and the Eagles know him very well

385
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 4: from years past when he was with New Orleans and

386
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 4: was just a shutdown quarterback. So if he is able

387
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 4: to match up against a J. Brown, it'll be a

388
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 4: an epic battle and.

389
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: Respect for both players.

390
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 4: But again, the Eagles believe that they've got enough options

391
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: that if AJ is quote unquote taken away, they go

392
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 4: somewhere else. And that's the beauty of this offense. That's

393
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 4: kind of the way it's been all season. I think

394
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 4: that Marshall Lattimore is a big plus for the Washington Commanders,

395
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 4: but there's more to stop.

396
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 3: So really, the truth is with his Eagles offense this.

397
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 4: Year, when they have not turned the football over, they

398
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 4: have been outstanding and in the ten game winning streak,

399
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 4: they've done a really good job of ball security and

400
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 4: that's why they're winning. So there are other options. But

401
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 4: if you if you're able to take a J. Brown out,

402
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 4: and that is the Commander's wish right, that is the goal.

403
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 4: If you are able to take him out of the offense,

404
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 4: you are taking out a huge part of the Eagles

405
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 4: arsenal and the passing game, will you have to look

406
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 4: elsewhere and potentially really struggle.

407
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was I was thinking, you know, the

408
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: other day, it seems like aj would be the be

409
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: the easy choice to go up against Marshaw because one

410
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: of Marshawn's biggest skill sets is that he's really good

411
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: in man coverage. Well, AJ Brown is real good at

412
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: beating man coverage. So I would expect that you're going

413
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: to They're going to see a lot of each other

414
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday, now, Scott, Like you know, I mentioned earlier

415
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: about the way that the Commandeers have adjusted the way

416
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: that they've they've done their personnel with Marshau and there

417
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: he is now a starter. Seems like Mark sanderstill is

418
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: going to be on the opposite of him, know, agban

419
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: Agny is going to be the slock corner. What do

420
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: you think about that current iteration of the secondary and

421
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 1: do you see that as the most viable option going forward?

422
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it absolutely has to be with you

423
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 5: look at you know, again with Latimore bringings to the table,

424
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 5: you know in Saint rostral Is, I think with the

425
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 5: top player in terms of past defense this year, and

426
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 5: of course he's been tested because he's the rookie and

427
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 5: obviously has a couple of picks so far, and I

428
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 5: ben Ageny has done a nice job overall. I mean,

429
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 5: he's you know, he's he's played a few different ways

430
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 5: for them, and you know, he's kind of been a

431
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 5: guy who's you know, his role has changed at times.

432
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 5: And you can say the same thing with with Saint

433
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 5: Ristral as well, because I think initially everybody thought he

434
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 5: would just be a slot and then that they clearly

435
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 5: had to make a decision there. So I definitely think

436
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 5: this is the best group that they have, and you know,

437
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 5: you just hope you can keep him on the field

438
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 5: together and and you know, another side note is we'll

439
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 5: see how healthy the secondary the safety situation is this

440
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 5: week with Jeremy Chin, you know, after that concussion they

441
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 5: sustained in New Orleans in the protocol this week.

442
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was out on the field on Wednesday.

443
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: Now you know, we were recording this on Thursday before practice,

444
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: so we'll we'll see how he's how he's doing. It

445
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: seemed like he's at least on the path, but again

446
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: with concussion protocols, you never really know. Hers is kind

447
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: of in the same position there he was a non

448
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: injured related rest slash concussion concussion person on the injury report,

449
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: so we'll see if he's actually out there at practice

450
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: on Thursday. But yeah, you're right, I mean the secondary

451
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: is it's going to be interesting to see how they've

452
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: how they ad just going forward. It seems like that's

453
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: going to be the path with sammer Still and a Gonogny,

454
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: But we shall see. Because the Eagles present a lot

455
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: of different challenges here, we're all we're up against the clocks.

456
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna move on to the last question here, more

457
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: of a general one. You know, there we've mentioned a

458
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: lot of big players here. You know, between Aja the

459
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: marshaw on Nolli's are the players. But you know, games

460
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: are obviously always won by more than just those key

461
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: impact players. So, Dave, for the Eagles, what's one player

462
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: aside from these other big names that we've talked about,

463
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: who you think could have a really big impact on

464
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: Sunday's outcome.

465
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 4: You know, he had a huge impact on the first game.

466
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 4: And his name is Jalen Carter and he's a second

467
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 4: year player, interior defensive lineman. He is a dominant, dominant

468
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 4: football player. He has seven tackles against Washington. You know,

469
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 4: you reference Zach that fourth down play. He really is

470
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 4: the one who blew it up from the jump.

471
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: He has a lot to handle.

472
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 4: I'm sure Washington has watched him, and he usually is

473
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 4: double team sometimes triple teams. I think that Jalen Carter

474
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 4: is such a dynamic, game wrecking player that with Washington

475
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 4: running the football as well as they did, find a

476
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 4: way to control Jalen Carter, nobody's really had that answer.

477
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 4: He has emerged as one of the top defensive linemen

478
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 4: in the NFL. I think that he's probably priority number

479
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 4: one up front for the Washington Commanders.

480
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: Oh, he absolutely is in a defense that is full

481
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 2: of studs. He has.

482
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: He was the most disruptive of thinking that in that

483
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: first matchup, and I think, you know, I mean obviously

484
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: becoming his off the line are going to take every

485
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: single player seriously, but you have to you have to

486
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: really account for him because he is just he's a

487
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: monster up front, all right, Scott, same question, But on

488
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: the commander side, what's one other player you think besides

489
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: the big names, who's going to have a nose wing

490
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: pact on Sunday's outcome.

491
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 3: Well, Frankie Louvu.

492
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, you're talking about defense, and last

493
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 5: game was awesome. I mean he had you know, a

494
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 5: couple of sacks, a couple three quarterback hits I think

495
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 5: as well, multiple double digit and tackles. I mean he

496
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 5: was everywhere. And again I just think with with again

497
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 5: the additional Lattimore, you know this, do you just feel

498
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 5: like guys like Louvu they could they can be a

499
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 5: little bit more creative with them as well, And I

500
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 5: think that that's going to be fun to watch and

501
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 5: see how he does. And again, you know, talking about

502
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 5: trying to shut down take one Barkley, I mean, he's

503
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 5: going to be a guy who's going to have to

504
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 5: meet him in a hole and get him the grounds,

505
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 5: you know, and then if Chin's not in there, then

506
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 5: it's going to have to be maybe Forrester or you know,

507
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 5: Percy Beultler that does it.

508
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: But to me, Luv was.

509
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 5: Really kind of the the interesting chess piece for them

510
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 5: on defense really every week, but really especially against this

511
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 5: tough team.

512
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're you're right, And you know, I asked a

513
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: similar question last week in if Liam the match being

514
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: the Saints and uh, the Frankie Livia was brought up again,

515
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: and I think I think that's absolutely correct because he

516
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: really is just like this versattle piece and now obviously

517
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: not comparing the players in terms of skills sets rightly

518
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: of that, but like he does seem a little Micah

519
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: Parsons ish in terms of how they've how Danklin moved

520
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: him around whenever DC at the Cowboys, and it seems

521
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: like Frankie is is.

522
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: Doing a lot of that as well.

523
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: It nearly had an interception against He's able to just

524
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: keep his hands on the ball there, which really would

525
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: have had a significant outcome impact on the outcome. But yeah,

526
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's really special player. He's

527
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: he's the lifeblood of that defense in so many ways.

528
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: And that's why I think, Scott, you have to take

529
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: the win here because I think you mentioned that batch

530
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: between say Coon Barkley. I think he's going to be

531
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: a huge factor in that. So, Scott, first picture on

532
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: the beatdown, do you have any passing words of victory

533
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: for us?

534
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 5: Well, I was I was really gonna be disappointed if

535
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 5: I didn't. With home field advantage against the Eagles insider,

536
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 5: I would have felt like there's something wrong and with

537
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 5: this thing, and I probably would approached. I would have

538
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 5: called the league officers. Frankly, I was gonna I wasn't

539
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 5: gonna take it. Well, but thank you, I'll take this.

540
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 5: I don't know what the prize is. I'll wait for

541
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 5: it in the mail though, excited to see it whenever

542
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 5: it gets here.

543
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: Zac, thank you mail.

544
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know there's a joke there, but we're gonna

545
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: we're not gonna catch on it. With that being said,

546
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: Dave Scott, thank you very very much for joining me

547

548
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: will be coming out of Northwest Stadium with a huge

549
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: win over the Eagles and delaying their NFC Eastron for

550
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: at least another week. Thank you very much for listening.
