WEBVTT - Recapping the Preseason WIN, Bubble Watch, and Joint Practice | Washington Commanders 0:00:02.080 --> 0:00:04.960 All right. On today's show, we got preseason game one recap, 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:10.160 we got MVPs, we got intriguing bubble watch, and I 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:12.559 think Fredie did a great job going through that. We're 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:16.040 also looking ahead to the joint practices and fred you 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:19.680 picked off a super Bowl winning quarterback at McDonald's. Yes, sir, 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:25.439 so make sure you stay tuned for that. Welcome on 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:29.040 into the Command Center Podcast. I'm Logan Paulson here with 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.640 Santana Mos, who's really got a very excellent fit today. 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.200 Tanna looking very hollyween. 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:37.919 Look at this, I mean orange shoes, orange, I got 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.319 Mcaros City colors on and orange a chief man. 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:44.840 Actually it looks like Baltimore Oriole it does, and they're 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:46.839 hot right now. Don't get it twisted, No, I get it. 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.280 Yoshould have saw us, you know, football season back back 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.040 when I was in high school. We put on it 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.640 all black and had that orange coming out man to today, 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:57.120 were scared to see you on Friday night. 0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.440 But the other voice on there, excuse me, is Fred Smooth, 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:01.160 a guy who probably doesn't need any introduction. 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:02.080 Don't introduce me. 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:03.920 Did all right? So we just had a preseason game, Yeah, 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:05.640 we did right, so high level thoughts. What you guys 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:06.240 seen in that game. 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:08.040 It was all right for the start, you know, for 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.039 the first preseason game. You know, my biggest thing was, 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.440 you know, I don't get too caught up into preseason. 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:15.480 I do try to see who's going to be the 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.120 guy that we can say, Okay, it's gonna make the 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.080 squad from the young guys. But I wanted to see 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.080 the ones select the ones. I wanted to see our 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:22.800 ones go out there and get their feet weet. It's 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.200 hard to come out, it's hard to be in you know, preseason. 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.600 I mean mid season form in the preseason. But I 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.720 wanted to see them get out there with the amount 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:31.280 of players that they was going to be given, be 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.960 productive enough to have something to build on for the 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.559 next week. And I think for the for the most part, 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.240 both sides did that defensive well. 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.080 First of all, starting this thing off them by the 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:46.080 Browns color STU that you win is Hey, the Browns. 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:47.800 I think our legit team. 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:49.760 Doesn't it feel that way washing them. 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:50.600 Listen to me. 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.000 We know their offensive line s wrong. They can run 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.920 on anybody to pass somebody. Shun Washington's starting to look 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.800 like the Shaun Watson. And when you add be scary, 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.320 Elijah more to that, and you already got them. 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:02.000 Marri Cooper. 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.400 I just thought it was a great measuring stick and 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.760 it was a physical game, and you know, like I know, 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.200 we judged from the first man on the roster to 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.160 the fifty third on the roster, and I seen this 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.480 team go tick for tat with them, and I think 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.160 that's a great signal, especially with that division as a whole. 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.400 That's what I like about us playing this division as 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.960 a whole. You're playing against good competition. I thought the 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.160 guys came out to huddle fast. I thought the offense 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.920 looked sharp. I thought the defense was flying around. I 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.800 just thought I got more out. 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:28.280 Of this far. 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:32.000 This We've been starting slow for the last but seventeen years, 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.840 all right, So at the end of the day, it 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.640 gave me some hope that we maybe can start fast. 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.160 Yeah. Yeah, And it did have like a like a 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.520 Christmas to it, you know. Offensively, even though it didn't 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.040 go as smooth as they wanted to, I don't think 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.600 especially those first couple drives, probably the second drive there, 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.800 like it's it was sharp, the temple was good, and 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.000 defensively there were some hiccups but they made plays when 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.560 they had to make plays. Yeah, and we and I 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.760 think it's important to knowledge, like we all know that 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.160 not everything's in, but in terms of the player's mindset, 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.680 it felt like it was at a certain spot that 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:03.640 you know, we haven't seen for a couple of years. 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.640 I mean, temple is everything too. And I think you 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.640 take on, you know, the energy from your coaches. You know, 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.840 we talk about eb and already the kind of tone 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.000 he set, Uh, that's what you want to see. You 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.160 want to see the guys respond that way. I feel 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.480 like you played here with cale them. You saw how 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.280 their temple was, you saw the kind of you know, uh, 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.640 tone they set how we need to be. You know, 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.560 like I said before, I talk about them more than 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:27.880 all the other staffs I've been a. 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.200 Part of, because I think I never talk about Grooed. 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:34.239 That's my last staff really, you know, you know, I 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:35.440 mean I'm. 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.880 Not starting anything. I just never hear him talk about Grooden. 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.480 Like you know, when we was in Grooten offense and 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.880 I was coming on and he will always go to 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:42.720 calv Well one. 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.600 I didn't play in green offense. He didn't want men 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.400 to play in his offense. So that's why I don't 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.000 talk about his offense. But cal offense was the offense 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.160 that I played in more, you know what I mean. 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.560 Groenen offense was my last year here. You know how 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.160 that went. You know, I was on the sideline for 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.360 six games and I barely played in the games I 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.480 did dress up for. But I talk about them because 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.000 of the tone they sat with the young guys and 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.560 even the older guys, guys like myself, Like you walk 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.840 in that office with Mike. Mike gonna let you be 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.440 a probe, but at the same time he's gonna tell 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.400 you to a man that hey, you could do what 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.560 you want, but I need you to do this, and 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:14.240 if you ain't like it. 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:15.320 He was out the door in the. 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.320 Same way with Kyle. Kyle was me and Kyle the 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.760 same age, you know what I mean. So Peter Pierry 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.120 were sitting there talking at time. Kyle might say, Tana, 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.240 I need you to go out there and do whatever 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:24.960 you're gonna do. You know what I mean, Do this, Tanne, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:26.720 you know, and I need to see it now. So 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.800 I like those responses from coaches because me as a player, 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.000 I took him and I didn't take it for granted, 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.480 So I see that in the offense already going forward 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:35.800 with EB. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.039 That's so funny because you just made me think about 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:42.640 who was my best offensive brain trust that I ever 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.320 played with, and I think it was coach Joe Jackson 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:46.200 Gibbs aka. 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:47.080 The Joseph Oh. 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.799 Yeah, you know it's funny when you talk about Gibbs. 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.680 Sorry to cut you off, but we talked about Gibbs. 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.599 There's this very similar philosophy to Kyle. Right, we're gonna 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.360 have these runs. We're gonna change them up a little 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:58.880 bit by the formation each week, but these are the 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:00.880 ones we're gonna get to. We're gonna have some type 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.480 of passing game off of it with a little bit 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.760 of play action work. And again that was really cutting 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.479 edge when he was in the league. Like that action idea. Yeah, 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.159 it was like a totally new thing. So it is. 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.279 It is interesting because like his preparation, Gibbs, from what 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.320 you've said, it seems to mirror Kyle's. 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.280 Almost definitely does. And you gotta realize that his early years, 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:19.720 I ain't that old. I didn't play with him when 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.599 they was winning the Super Bowl, but he was the 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.560 one that really opened it up to the three and 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.400 four wide out between him and Houston. 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:26.719 Allis they was the one. 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.760 That spread it out, not only spread it out to 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.680 throw it, but spread it out to run the ball. 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:32.560 And I think that was different than I think that 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.200 would change the game with coach Gibbs. 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.520 Yeah absolutely, I mean totaldred percent. So we got a 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.200 little fun game coming up here to kind of help 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.800 us review the roster a little bit. Right, So this 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.160 is preseason game one recap, and we're gonna start with 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:49.719 We're gonna have four categories, MVP, Surprise, Standout, ooh, Intriguing, 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.680 and bubble Watch. Okay, so we're gonna have categories for 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.039 each one. We're gonna start with MVP. We'll least go 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:56.599 around and kind of say who our MVP of the 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.120 game was, Fred, I know you want to start, So. 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:00.840 All right, I'm gonna go with Young Airwolf. 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.800 Yeah, go with Sam Howe because you know what, I 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:06.480 don't need him to throw for two hundred yards. 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:07.680 I need him to look the part. 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:09.920 I need him to be comfortable, and I need him 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.359 to show that nothing ralizes him. And he showed he 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.320 all three of those things. I felt like the office 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.400 looked like an offense. You know how I'm not throwing 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.280 in the shade here, but Carson wentz Heineke. 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.279 It was always an if, but like it was always 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:25.680 a struggle. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.719 And always I was just waiting for something bad to 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.240 have it, Like I'm sorry, I was like a feeling 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.159 in my stomach with him, with Sam and just feel like, Okay, 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:34.520 it's only gonna. 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:35.200 Get better from here. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:40.120 Absolutely, you know, I definitely agree. I don't even want 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.320 to pick someone because I feel like, you know, Sam 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.440 was that he was the guy. I mean, if you 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.479 had to point pinpoint, if you had to give out, 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.839 you know, m VPS that night, everyone probably who came 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:51.840 to see Sam, which I know all our fan base, 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.200 did you know they would have went home please saying 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.440 hey we got somebody we can work with. That guy, 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.680 you know, and he went out there or what I 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.640 loved about his play more than anything is to see 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:03.680 us put in the situation that you want to see, 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.479 situation of football where okay, we didn't go out there 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.320 and play well in that second series, you know, I 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.720 mean we got backed up and we got off the field. 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.040 Third series came out there and drove down the field 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.280 and scored a touchdown. So stuff like that. It's meaningful 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:18.880 to me as a receiver, just knowing that, Okay, that 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.160 he didn't sit there and dwell in the moment and say, damn, 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.120 you know what I mean with this preseason, I'm trying 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:24.560 to hear him get out of his game. No, he 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.160 was eager to go out there and make a difference 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:27.880 in that third series and they went out there and 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:28.400 got a TV. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.640 You know what, I got an MVP for this game, 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.680 and I think it was truly an MVP moment. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.000 The owner, Josh Harris. 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:39.080 Oh my god, listen in the stands in the rain 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.840 with his son and when they interviewed him, how do 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.200 you feel, first true interview, first game? 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.680 How do you feel about the new ownership of the team? 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.840 You like, I don't own this team, the city on 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.280 this team, like the people on this team. Yeah, you 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:53.119 not MVP. 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.120 I was talking someone the other day about that, Like 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.840 it felt like I as a as a player, like 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.360 if I had seen the owner in the rain sitting 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:01.600 in it wasn't like he was in like. 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.720 A broke box. It wasn't nothing. 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.000 It's like the Browns fan was sitting right behind him here, 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:06.520 just sitting there. 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.760 I saw him do an interview on Instagram with one 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.200 of our biggest fans and followers, the road warrioror you know, 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.320 you know how you know what? He was on his 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.040 Instagram pace doing an interview with him. Like, to me, 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:23.120 that's accessibility. It's so different if you talking about getting 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.520 fans to come back and be a part of what 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.680 you got going here. He gonna have that stadium pack, 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:29.440 I mean just off of that alone. I mean one 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.040 of the things you look about, you know, I mean 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.160 we talk about in this world today sells. You know, 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.839 when we're talking about being a part of what's going on, 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.440 how can you be you know, I guess you can say. 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.800 You know, some of these wealthy guys when they're talking 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.240 about selling something, you don't have to reinvent the wheel. 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:46.880 We don't have to go out there and make something up. 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.440 You can sell something that's already been out here, that's 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:53.200 being sold Amazon. That's what they do better in accessibility. 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.440 I mean that's what he's saying, because I forget the 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.440 first his first day of ownership, he bought rounds for 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.080 everybody in his head, which I had around on those 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.440 beers right there, and no, nothing tastes batter than Josh 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:10.679 hare is Hale, especially because it was free, because it's 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.200 free man, I. 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.440 Fai yeah, So, I mean I think those are great. 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.000 Another one I wanted to kind of call attention was 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.720 eb Man, like you know what, I'm on the sideline 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.680 calling the game and like I'm trying to get in 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.400 with my analysis, right and they're going so fast you 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.960 can't get in, right. I thought the formations were great, 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.200 kind of three wide receivers to the left tight end, 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.880 isolated back motion, helping the quarterback dissect the coverage. They're 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.319 getting twenty one personnel, two backs, one tight end. That's 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.040 a running formation and they're throwing the ball out of it, right. 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.200 Like I just loved his approach, like it was you 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:43.640 could tell, like Kenn of what you were talking about 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.679 with like last year's offense, Like last year felt like 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.560 this is like what we do for offense. I felt 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.640 like there was some life and some creativity even in 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:52.559 this like very. 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.559 Plain, yes, I'm gonna show you anything. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.640 Right right. I thought that was great. And again just 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.360 the attention to detail. And then like I got to 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.560 talk to him for like five seconds before I shall say, 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:01.920 and I was like, what do you like about it? 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.080 He's like I love that we had some adversity in 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:04.560 our practice. 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.640 Yeah, because Noady got to figure it out and and. 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:08.720 I thought, like that is like what, that's who he is. 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.599 He's a guy that likes to challenges players and he 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.000 wants to see how they respond. And I thought, you know, 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:14.920 quite frankly, like Tennis said, they came out and they 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:16.840 responded really well. So I think those are good. Another guy, 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.199 I want to just call it just kind of get 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.400 my a shout out was Johan Dotson. I thought he 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:21.600 looked like that dude. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.400 Listen he is. He's so sweet running routes. 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.920 He ran a route yesterday, I mean the other day 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:30.079 when we did practice. 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.160 I thought he gave me diabetes. Listen. He came out 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.439 the top of the route. It was so sweet. 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:36.960 Listen. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.720 I was like, see this is something, this is something, 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.240 this next level right here, Like I'm sorry, like his 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.960 maturation from year one to year two, it feels like 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.160 he's a year four while I received with playing for 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:49.720 a contract. 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:55.880 Gither. Yeah, absolutely, I mean stupid. I mean, you're smiling, like, 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.520 I respect you, Tanna because you like watch the film, 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.200 you study routes and you're always man. He's doing some 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.079 mixed level stuff. 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:07.840 It's it's almost scary because and I say that because 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.880 you have a guy that we respect so much in 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.320 his game and Terry, And I'm saying to myself, like, 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.680 if you gonna check double Terry, you'll be a fool 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.280 to leave that boy one on one withich with somebody. 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.400 So it might be different this year. We might see 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.760 a lot of double teams going to number one and 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:26.880 Terry gonna still kill you. Now, you don't want to 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:28.640 leave him over because he gonna kill. He shows you 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.680 every he's a proven come on, it kill you. So 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:32.520 it's like pick your poison, you know. 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.200 I think that's the other thing is like, you know, 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.520 Johanna had a good game Cole Turner and talking about 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.719 underneath kind of manipulating that stuff. If you got to 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.560 match both those guys, you got tight ends here that 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.360 you underneath, you know. Curtis Samuel was quiet how to 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:47.320 catch I think, but you know, ultimately like we because 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.840 there's so many pieces here and because defenses can't cover everybody, 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.679 like you said, and then our production meeting today, Fred 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.280 defenses always have holes, right, Yeah, we always got we 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.080 got enough guys. I think we can exploit. 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.079 It's a problem. It's gonna be a it's gonna be 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.720 a great problem to have for us offensively. Who were 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:02.360 getting the boss? 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.079 And that's gonna be a sam Hoile thing. 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.839 How quick can he read the defense to find out 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.240 what we in and how quick can he identify where 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:10.600 the weakness that and where the man. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.280 He needs to go to? They'll feel the stat sheet up. 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.679 And I think that's why in my head, I just 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.360 you know, I like to play fantasy football, and I 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:23.040 am so tempted to get Antonio Gipsy. I feel like 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.920 he's gonna be a fantasy darling. I feel like him 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.280 and Curtis samuel Is as much as I. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:30.280 I want to do it too. 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.559 I want to give him a chance, but I need 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.720 him to stay healthy. I need him to stay healthy 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.320 for seventeen games. But I do also think he will 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:41.640 flourish in his defense in a Melachai Hartman type of 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:42.520 way in this. 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:47.480 In this defense, yeah absolutely, Okay, So yeah, defense minded. 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.800 The next one we're saying is surprise standout from the game. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:52.920 I think we had some really good m vps. This 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.960 one's gonna be tough. Who wants to start? I can 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.520 start af you so For me, I wanted to put 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.720 the Sky in as an m VP, but you can't 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:03.080 put guards and an MVP quite honestly, right, So Sam 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.839 Cosby is my guy. Sam Cosmi Versdarius Smith like that 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.240 dude put on a clinic and Zadaria Smith is one 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.559 of the best inside outside pass rushers in the NFL, 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:13.960 and he kind of said, what's up, man, Like I'm 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.360 here to party, and like, you know, he's moving positions 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.959 Sam is and he just looked super comfortable. They looked 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.320 like he had great chemistry with Gates and he locked 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:23.720 down one of the best pass rushs in the NFL. 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.080 And it wasn't like on a couple snaps. It it 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:27.679 was like four or five snaps he did that. So 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.800 I look at him in the in the physicality like 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:31.960 he's he's he's going to chip help, you know, like uh, 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:33.880 you know, like the slides to the right and he's 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:35.480 got to help Wiley and he's kind of coming in 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.880 there and trying to bust up some ribs. And I 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.839 like my offensive lineman to have that demeanor and mentality 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.400 and couple that with his athleticism and I think, man 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.600 like he uh, he's not a surprise because I know 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.360 he's a second round pick. He's a football player, and 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:48.880 again I wanted to put him for MVP, but I 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.360 just want to make sure we gave him some attention there. 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.600 I'm gonna go with Chris Rodriguez. I think it's the 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.120 it's the obvious. I mean, it's not a surprise, but 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:00.000 it's a surprise for just knowing that he's a young guy. Yeah, 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.800 and you don't know how these guys, you know, I'm 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:07.760 trying to put the best word bingo. You can always 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.160 see what they did in college and say does that 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.040 transfer over to this league? 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:12.240 You know? 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.839 And Logan said something that we all heard when his 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.320 coach talked about him, you know, looking like crap until 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.440 he get in pads. And trust me, that was a 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.960 game that guy shows you that look went in doubt. 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:25.640 You put the guy in front of me, he ain't 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.200 bringing me down. I'm gonna run them over and his 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.560 mama might be mad at me, and I'm happy with that. 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.120 I'm cool with that because just knowing what we have 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.360 in the backfield. Now we're sitting there, were talking about 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:36.880 who's potentially to be here or not. I don't want 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.120 to get too far ahead of myself, he's gonna be here, 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:43.240 yeah after he's gonna be here. And so it was 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.240 a surprise of me to to see him say this 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.640 is this is not too big for me. This is football. 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.480 I've been trained to do this. I'm gonna run you over. 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.640 I might be one of the better backs in this 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.160 in this backfield, and I'm a young guy. So I 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:56.920 got to sit here and get it how I live. 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.400 And I think he's the guy that needs some recognition 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:00.200 and all. 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:04.080 On that point, I think that second offensive line, like Montero, Lucas, 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:08.880 uh Larsen, they had great games and so you know 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:10.480 they were opening up some big holes for christ I mean, 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.600 Chris showed it was he showed the power and the 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.360 things you wanted to see from him. But that group 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.320 deserves a ton of credit. Foster the right tackle, Loof 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:19.840 and Bamb I think is the right guards. Name a 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.960 guy that I didn't think was even in like contention 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:23.640 for that spot. He hadn't had a great game. So 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.080 that that whole second group, the depth of the offensive line, 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.160 maybe that's a surprise standout is the depth of that 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.440 offensive line like they did. There was no drop off 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.080 when Jacobe Prissett came in home and they played really well. 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.440 Well, you know Yaki talking about Chris why ria his 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.440 body that he ain't the He don't get it. 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.080 You're gonna get a pro's body before we'll have a 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:40.560 six pick. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.040 But I tell you I got ran over by bad 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.240 body back a couple of times by the name of 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:49.040 Jerome benny 'letna tell you, like sometime the bad body 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.800 works for you. But my guy just surprised you, like 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.840 really stuck out to me. Cold Turner was the guy 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.720 that said, you know what, Logan, you're not gonna play. 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.000 I'm gonna take chance to show the world what I 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.240 can do. X Y Receiver buked up to play tight end. 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.960
