Speaker 1: I just got off of a flight from Fort Lauderdale,

24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: sitting in the middle seat. So and if you're wondering,

25
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: if you know the state of Florida, why did you

26
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: fly from Fort Lauderdale. That's the rest of the story

27
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: I don't feel like telling. So you think yesterday you

28
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 1: told me today.

29
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: Was about to travel travel intels. Yeah, that's awful. Sitting

30
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: in the middle seat. That's that's I've always select my

31
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: seat as a bigger guy.

32
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: One thing I have to I gotta have a window seat.

33
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: I can't.

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: I don't even want to sit there on the aisle

35
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: because if I'm coming down, if I'm in the aisle

36
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: and they're coming down with the tray, I usually get bomped,

37
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: and you know, that's just awful to me. And I

38
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: love to sleep on the planes. So I feel for you.

39
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: Window seat for me. But yeah, I'm I'm ready to

40
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: rock and roll. You know, not to start we wanted,

41
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: but hey, the sun still came out and there will

42
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: be football played again this Sunday.

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: All right, let me let me just start with the

44
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: overarching theme. Well, I want to go through the game

45
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: with you, but the overarching theme of its one game. Right,

46
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: There's there's just no chance that in your career you

47
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: didn't have one of these, So you know, so like,

48
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: help us out here a little bit. This doesn't mean

49
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: it's the end of the world, right, because you've lived

50
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: through something like this before.

51
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, you know I've I've had my more more

52
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: than my fair share of owing one starts, even on

53
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: two starts, and in my career, and I I think

54
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: about back to twenty twelve season. We started that season

55
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: like four and six, four and six, and then at

56
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: one point you're like, hey, coach Shanahan tells the media, Hey,

57
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna be evaluating everybody. You know in

58
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: the media thought he was getting thrown into talent, you know,

59
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: kind of looking forward to next season, but it actually

60
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: kind of put a lit a fire onto a lot

61
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: of us and said, hey, it's time to really step

62
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: up our game, you know all you all know how

63
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: that twenty twelve season ended. We go on a six

64
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: game win Street playing Dallas, last game of the season

65
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football for the Division Championship Division Crown at

66
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: FedEx Back. Then win that game, win the division, end

67
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: up hosting a playoff game. So don't panic. Is just

68
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: one game. And even I will say this, even on

69
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: the flip side, have we won that game, you still

70
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: can't get too high and be all of a sudden

71
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: like hey, we're buying for the super Bowl.

72
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: It's a long season. There's a lot of football left

73
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: to be played.

74
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: I've already broken down and watched the offense completely through.

75
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: I was a more than halfway through the defense, and

76
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: I'll go back and see it several more times, and

77
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. I came away from the game

78
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: a little bit more incouraged from an offensive standpoint and

79
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: even from a defensive standpoint, because and Jayson Daniels.

80
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: Mentioned this when you and I interviewed him after the game.

81
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: He talked about, we left a lot of things out there,

82
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: and when you go back and see Bram, he's true.

83
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: That was absolutely correct. There were a lot of plays

84
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: left on the on that field. Uh in Tapa Bay.

85
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: They'll get those days corrected. Defensively, It's not a big,

86
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: fixed type thing that we gotta go through.

87
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 3: I'm I'm I'm encouraged, man, I'm still I'm still on board.

88
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: Jaden's least of my worries. Actually, I'm gonna go through

89
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: the offense with you. He's least of my worries after

90
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: what happened here. Say there's other things that are more concerning.

91
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to give you one story from when I

92
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: covered the team, and this is like twenty something years

93
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: ago Marty Schottenheimer. Marty Schottenheimer came here. It started oh

94
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: and five, Okay, oh and five. The scores were terrible,

95
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: right they were getting blown out. It looked terrible. It

96
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: was a similar actually was very similar in messaging to

97
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: what we're getting with Dan Quinn right now, in that

98
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna like the way we play. It's gonna be

99
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: very physical, We're gonna be very tough. And the first

100
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: five games went completely sideways, and it completely flipped in

101
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: the middle of the season and they ended up going

102
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: eight and three, And honestly, if you ask anybody that

103
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: covered the team at the time, one of the big

104
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: mistakes the previous owner made was firing Marty Schottenheimer after

105
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: that first year because it looked like it was going

106
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: in a very different direction. So I've seen this before too,

107
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,559
Speaker 1: not obviously from your standpoint, but I've seen this before

108
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: too in real time. One game doesn't mean anything. And

109
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: the other thing I want to say about Tampa Bay

110
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: because they're a good example of this too. Go look

111
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: at their record. In the first half of the season.

112
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: They didn't actually turn around and become a playoff team

113
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: last year to the middle of the season and that's

114
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: when they and Green Bay is another good example of it,

115
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: that took off and they're in this kind of launching

116
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: pad place. They got their whole team back off of

117
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: a playoff season. So we're in two different spaces here.

118
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

119
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: No, absolutely, And I think part of kind of the

120
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: we have to understand there was so much excitement about

121
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: this offseason, you know, bringing in dan Quinn, the new

122
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: ownership group, finally having a full kind of off season

123
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 2: to put things together, hiring Adam Peters, dan Quinn, getting

124
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: the free agency we brought in, the drafting Jade and Daniels,

125
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: So there was a tremendous amount of excitement and anticipation.

126
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: You saw the all the Commanders fans in Tapa Bay, Man,

127
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: it was it was a beautiful thing, saying all of

128
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: our fans that made that trip. Some of them, you know,

129
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: flew from who I've met one fan he flew as

130
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: far as up he came from the UK. Well guy, yeh,

131
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 2: as we were as we were leaving. So we had

132
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: fans all over from all over the world that came

133
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 2: to see us play, and we, yeah, we would have

134
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: loved to gotten off to a better start one at

135
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: that game, just to continue that excitement. But you know, again,

136
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: after looking at the at the looking at the tape,

137
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: I'm still encouraging. I feel like we will get and

138
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: be the type of team we want to be.

139
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: So Tampa reminds me a little bit of what Detroit

140
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: was a year ago, where two years ago Detroit had

141
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: this new staff, new team, new chemistry, said it was

142
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: gonna turn a corner. Did in that next year twenty

143
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: twenty three. Tampa feels similar to me where they turned

144
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: a corner in the middle of the season. Baker Mayfield

145
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: and whatever go around this is for him has really

146
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: found himself. We'll talk about him in a minute. He

147
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: was outstanding yesterday against the defense, and they are looking

148
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: like the type of team that is heading up in

149
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: that kind of upward trajectory. And it was strange because,

150
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: like going into week one, I was trying to sell

151
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: myself like maybe you two, look, maybe this is the

152
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: right time to catch them. They don't know what we're

153
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: gonna do. We could catch them off guard. They can't

154
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: scout us. We haven't shown anything. At the same time,

155
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: you go on the other side and you go forty

156
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: four of their fifty three players are either drafted or

157
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: undrafted free agents. That is a cohesive team. That's a

158
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: team that Adam Peters and Dan Quinn want to have

159
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: here in two years. They're ready to take off. And

160
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: if Baker's gonna play like that with the weapons that

161
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: they have and the defensive scheme that they organized, again

162
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: they're dangerous. So as it turns out, it's another reason

163
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: why I think everybody needs to chill out, calm down.

164
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: Washington played a really good, high level playoff team yesterday, right.

165
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: A team that a team that you've mentioned several times

166
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: in leading up to this game. I mentioned multiple times

167
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: a playoff game and went into Detroit and a game

168
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter.

169
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: So I think Tampa doesn't really get the type of

170
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 2: respect around the league that it probably deserves, especially if

171
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: Baker plays like he played yesterday. I grew up in Cleveland.

172
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: I remember Baker in Cleveland during those days. Man, that

173
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 2: was the most impressive that I've seen. How Like, shoot,

174
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,119
Speaker 2: I didn't.

175
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: If he played like this in Cleveland, he will still

176
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: be in Cleveland. But I could.

177
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: I can only imagine what's what it's like in DC

178
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: the sports talk radio. You know, all the different fans

179
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: in the you know, the sky is falling and all that.

180
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: Type of things.

181
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: Man, you know, especially when they talk as we get

182
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: it to the conversation about defense.

183
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, com Dow pompy your breaks. We

184
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 3: will be fine.

185
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: Having lived in that world, still living in that world.

186
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: I never take that like I get it like it's

187
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: hard and it's hard to hear it sometimes, especially in

188
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: the building here, you don't want to hear it. It's

189
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: only proof of how engaged everybody is though, how excited

190
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: everybody is, and how much it matters to everybody, right,

191
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to soft pedal it. That's the truth. Like,

192
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: the real problem with sports is if you have ambivalence

193
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't exist here. We saw it on the ground

194
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: in Tampa. We've seen it here forever. Everybody cares and

195
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: they expected better and when we do go through it.

196
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: There are parts of this, and I think dan Quinn

197
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: would agree that we all expected better and a different outcome.

198
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: But I want to go back to the point of

199
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: that's a very different team in a very different spot.

200
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: As they try to contend for a Super Bowl. This

201
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: is a team that's very new. So do you think

202
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: the newness, the coach, the GM, everything in and around

203
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: the building a very very very different roster. Did you

204
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: think that that reared up against an experienced team yesterday?

205
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 3: Absolutely it reared up.

206
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: And where you can tell where you could especially offensive defensively,

207
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: I should say, where you had seven new guys, seven

208
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: new starters playing in the news game, where guys not

209
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 2: necessarily playing the defense the way it was supposed to

210
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: be played.

211
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 3: And you know it's in real time.

212
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, I've kind of got a good feel of

213
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: what I what I feel like the fits should be

214
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: and the leverages to be rot fits should be in

215
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: run support leverages should be from a cover standpoint, And

216
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: then once I go back and I was able to

217
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: look at him, it confirmed what I thought. You know,

218
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: there was some some run fit guys, guys not being

219
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: exactly where they need to be, and some leverageting guys

220
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: not playing to those leverages, And a lot of that

221
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: is just the newness and also getting used to being

222
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: on the field together from a communication standpoint, you know,

223
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: especially on the back end from a secondary standpoint, there

224
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: has to be high, high level of communication. So the

225
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 2: newness of that maybe some of the some of the

226
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: concepts and things that Tampa presented to them that could

227
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,599
Speaker 2: have been the first time they've had this type of concept,

228
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: you know, a route and switch routes and things like that.

229
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: So working through those things, definitely there was a newness

230
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: to them. I can think about some of the players

231
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: on offense where you know, I don't know what Jaden's

232
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: primary read was on some things, but if y'all look,

233
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: if he looks to you know, maybe uh, there was

234
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 2: a bunch play on a third and three, he had

235
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: to go to his two allim of thea's and kids

236
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: and alam of they may have been.

237
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: His primary target, primary Reid.

238
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: But if he goes to the to the left side

239
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: where the bunch combination is, he had, as Luke McCaffrey

240
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 2: wide open for an easy person donal conversion.

241
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 3: Again, I don't know if the preach, not reading everything, told.

242
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 2: Jayden to go to Alaminae's A key is the defensive

243
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: back made a good play for a path breakup. But

244
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: you know, going back, hey, they may say, hey, we

245
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: had exactly got we got a guy wide open on

246
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: this other side. So it's things like that newness of

247
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: a system. I'm not That's why I'm not discouraged at

248
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: all by looking at this.

249
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: All right, let me get into the other big picture thing,

250
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: which is Quinn has talked about often you don't like

251
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: the way we play, You're gonna like the energy we bring.

252
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: You're gonna like how we get down. They say this

253
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: type of stuff in reviewing in real time and you

254
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: see the score and they just can't stop them. You know, like,

255
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like that's happening when you rewatched it.

256
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: Do you feel like the energy that he's talking about

257
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: was there and there were missed assignments and mis tackles

258
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: which we can go through, or do you think this

259
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: needs to ramp up to the level that he and

260
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: Joe Witt are trying to preach and talk about.

261
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 3: Here there were sparks of it.

262
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: There was there were times where guys were flying to

263
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: the football, you know, getting getting around the pursuit was

264
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: what what you what you would like? I think of

265
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: a play in particular, there was a short five yard

266
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: pass and the Ron Pann comes out of stack, you know,

267
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: as a defensive tackle turning and running and being the

268
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 2: first being the first guy in on a on a tackle,

269
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: and you know Jonathan Allen pursuing down the line of

270
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 2: scrimmage and Bobby Wagoner pursuing down the line of scrimmage.

271
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: There was there were sparks of it and glimpses of it,

272
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: but it wasn't consistent enough.

273
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: All right.

274
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: I want to go through the defense at a second,

275
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: but I just want to I want to read you

276
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: one thing about their schedule and just see how you

277
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: react to this, because every's hurting around here. As you

278
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: bet you don't listen to sports talk radio, it's not

279
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: going to be pretty today.

280
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 3: Everybody's all excited.

281
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: We're ready to get shot out of the cannon at

282
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: a Tampa. We were ready to go. It didn't happen.

283
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: This is the scheduled the next seven weeks. Giants at

284
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: home at Cincinnati, at Arizona, Cleveland at home at Baltimore,

285
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: Carolina at home, Bears at home. None of those teams

286
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: until you get to Chicago won yesterday. None of them.

287
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: So as we stand right now, you gotta get the

288
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: week eight to play a team with a winning record.

289
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: So they're all sitting around thinking the same thing we are.

290
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: At Chicago. They had a debut of their number one

291
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: overall pick quarterback. He didn't even throw it for one

292
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: hundred yards. They needed a blocked punt and a pick

293
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: six to knock off Tennessee at home. So there's a

294
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: lot of teams out there that are sitting there wondering

295
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: the same thing today, Like Washington.

296
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: Is hey man, half of the league and we still,

297
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: you know, got the Monday night game to come up,

298
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: but half the league lost. Half the team will win

299
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: after tonight, and you know you're going to have half

300
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: the league happy and the rest of us feeling like

301
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: we feel in Washington.

302
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 3: So you know, again what I said, even if.

303
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: We had won this game, you can't get all of

304
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: a sudden feel like you have a rived because you

305
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: still have things that even in wins, that you have

306
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: to correct. You got to tune up. You gotta stick

307
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: to the process and the plan. So pump the brakes.

308
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: And I don't know why any current player would even

309
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: listen to sports talk radio. I you know, I was oblivious.

310
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: I thought they loved me all the time, you were

311
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: good or bad. Don't listen to sports talk radio. Don't

312
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: get on social media, don't don't don't press, don't read

313
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: the reviews.

314
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: There's no purpose. It serves no purpose to you.

315
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's go through the defense, special teams in

316
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: the offense. I want to start on the defensive side

317
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: of the ball.

318
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: You mentioned a.

319
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: Couple of the players and a couple of plays that occurred.

320
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: I want to bring up what I think was maybe

321
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: one of the most disappointing parts of the whole game,

322
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: which was the tackling overall and largely like when everyone

323
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: says the whole offseason, where's the pass rush going to

324
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: come from? They could add five or six sacks had

325
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: they finished plays on Baker Mayfield, and they didn't. So

326
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: I want to give Mayfield credit here. How would everybody

327
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: feel today if Washington had posted five six sacks got

328
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: them the punt five six times, because that, to me

329
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: is the difference in the game. They did not finish plays,

330
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: and the tackling was surprising to me.

331
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, you talked about it finishing plays, especially

332
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: finishing sacks, because Baker had an ex capability.

333
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: I was.

334
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: I was very surprised, to say the least, that we

335
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: missed as many tackles as we did.

336
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: And and even like in the perimeter on some of

337
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 3: the perimeter plays, and you know, screens and things like that.

338
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: Where I was, I was a bit surprised by that,

339
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: knowing how much of an emphasis it is on being

340
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 2: a great tackling defense.

341
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: I think this too, Like I look at the NFC

342
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: this year, and I don't see some kind of behemoth

343
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: like I think the forty nine ers could be very

344
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: very good. I think the Eagles could be very very good.

345
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: I think the Rams could be good. I think Detroit

346
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: could be really good. I think Green Bay, if Jordan

347
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: Love is not injured for any period of time, could

348
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: be very good. But I don't see any of them

349
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs or the Ravens. Where you go, you

350
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: gotta beat them to get there. And Tampa's dangerous. They

351
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: are very dangerous, especially if he's gonna play at that level.

352
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: And then we got flagged before the game. Watch out

353
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: for this rookie receiver, Jalen McMillan going alongside Evans and

354
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: Godwin and Boyden. He show up yesterday, so they've got

355
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: a full arsenal. I agree with Shad White's very good,

356
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: versatile player. They've spent a lot of assets on their

357
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: offensive line. They don't need Baker Mayfield to be Lamar

358
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: Jackson or Pat Mahomes to be very successful, and they

359
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: showed that yesterday. But on our side of it, at

360
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: the same time, if you tackle the guy, you know,

361
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you have this out.

362
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't have to feel we feel totally different.

363
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into the offense here a little bit.

364
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: I want to start with Jade Daniels, who, for a

365
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: first go again, you know, I think showed the elements

366
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: that we've seen from him. I know, in the end

367
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: he ended up running the ball more, not by design

368
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: obviously than I think the team really intended. But I

369
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: think he was getting used to the game speed of

370
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I don't know where you are on it,

371
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: but for a debut, he's the last thing I'm actually

372
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: worried about after what happened yesterday. I thought he kept

373
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: us cool. I thought he stayed calm, he never put

374
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: the ball in harm's way. I actually thought for a debut,

375
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: I was very pleased with what he did.

376
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was good.

377
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 2: I was good with the way Jayden played, especially you know,

378
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 2: shooting and without his rushing man. Where we have been

379
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 2: on the offense, you know, I thought his poise in

380
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 2: the pocket and being able to find lines and create

381
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: on the run things like that. I was extremely.

382
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 3: Pleasant.

383
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 2: Not president, he's pride because that's what he does. But

384
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: I was happy he did that. I'm glad he didn't

385
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: take a hard hit to speak. You know, we want

386
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 2: to see him slide feet first, but hey, he'll give

387
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 2: to that. But you know, from a from a for

388
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 2: NFL debut, I think Jayden he'll definitely be pleased with

389
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: some things, but he'll also go back and look at

390
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: the film and say, man, there was so much more

391
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: I could have done, especially in the passing game. And

392
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 2: me and my you know, don't understand everything, not understand

393
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: everything that they're trying to do. From an office standpoint,

394
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 2: I saw multiple opportunities.

395
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 3: They were there in the passing game.

396
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: If you know, maybe Jaden opted to take a chance

397
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: on the ball downfield, or you know, instead of going

398
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: to the right, maybe looking to the left, and you know,

399
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 2: things like that and hitting the hot.

400
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: Right here or there.

401
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 2: So there's so much more that he'll look at that

402
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 2: film and I'm sure the coaches they were talking about

403
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 2: on the sideline, they'd be like Jade, man, it was

404
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 2: it was.

405
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 3: Some plays to be made in the passing game.

406
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 2: I know he's, you know, kicking himself about the miss

407
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: deep ball shot to Terry at the start the second half.

408
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 2: I'm with you, Jame's least a concerns when it comes

409
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: to that game from yesterday.

410
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I walked out of that going. You know, he

411
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: didn't have these rookie moments where he's throwing the ball

412
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: in the wrong place or putting it at harm's way,

413
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: or making really bad decisions what I might think early

414
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: and I need to rewatch it because I haven't rewatched

415
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: it yet, like you have that maybe the internal clock

416
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: for him was moving a little faster than he would

417
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: like early in the game, and he vacated a couple

418
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: of plays out of the pocket, maybe a little bit

419
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: sooner than I think. He willed down the road like

420
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: it was his debut. It's a highly aggressive team. They're

421
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: gonna bring all these blitz packages, and on a couple

422
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: of occasions, while he made plays with his legs, it

423
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: kept running for first downs, and his instincts are great.

424
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: I think looking back, he may say I could slide

425
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: and maybe give myself an extra beat, But that's an

426
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: internal clock thing that I also feel like will just

427
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: get better with time. Honestly.

428
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely some times where I thought they would

429
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: considering all things considered with the amount of five man

430
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,479
Speaker 2: pressures that the Bucks did, are also some simulated pressures

431
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: where they were able to kind of, you know, create

432
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: different rushers. I thought the offensive line for the most part,

433
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: and not just the offensive line, but you got to

434
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 2: go to throw the tight ends, and also the running

435
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 2: backs b Robin and Austin Eckler, they were outstanding and

436
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: blitz pick.

437
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: Up, I mean they were They were nailing running backs

438
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 3: Blitzen and safeties blitz And.

439
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: We will head also into Week two and we will

440
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: literally not have had a full game with what appears

441
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: to be the offensive line literally playing together, because yesterday

442
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: they wanted to ramp up Brandon Coleman and Cornelius Lucas.

443
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 3: And by the way, Brandon Coleman did a good job,

444
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: really good.

445
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring him up now because they rotated him.

446
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: I think they felt like he wasn't ready to take

447
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: on the full bore of the playbook, having not played

448
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: in the preseason at all, so they rotated him with

449
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: Cornelius Lucas, and there were moments yesterday. I know there's

450
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: not a ton of positives, but there were moments yesterday.

451
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: Go watch on film him running downfield and you'll start

452
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: to see you'll start to see why they love this

453
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: athleticism of his. And I'm not sure what the plan

454
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: is here in the near term, but obviously they're very

455
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: bullish about him potentially becoming the starting full time left

456
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: tackle when they think he's ready for it. Go watch

457
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: some of the highlights of him running behind the play

458
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: and how fast he actually is, on what level of

459
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: athlete he is, and you'll start to understand why I

460
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: think they feel the way they feel about him.

461
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there was one play.

462
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: I think it was on one of Jaden's scrambles and

463
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: I mean he's running. It reminded me of Trip Williams running,

464
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: you know, like, man, this dude could run. And this

465
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 2: was my first time actually getting the opportunity to see

466
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: Brandon Coleman play. The practice is that I was at

467
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 2: I didn't see him practice. He wasn't He wasn't practicing,

468
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: so I was I was, you know, to see what

469
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 2: he looks like as well. He looked really good and

470
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 2: passed pro really good on some and Ron block and

471
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: double teams blocking getting up to on the second level,

472
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 2: getting to the linebackers. There was one pass pro man

473
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: he just locked the dude up, so like the dude

474
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: bits basically gave up because Bradon locked his hands on

475
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 2: him and he was just.

476
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 3: Like, man, I'm done.

477
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: But I think that was the right approach in terms

478
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 2: of splitding time with him and Cornelius Lucas because he

479
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 2: hadn't had, you know, the ref necessary in the preseason.

480
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 3: And don't forget, man.

481
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 2: It was about one hundred degrees down there in Tampa

482
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 2: on that field, that humidity. You're not going to have

483
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: a guy go from not taking a single snap in

484
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 2: the preseason to all of a sudden, you know, go

485
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: ask him to play sixty to seventy snaps and that

486
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: type of heat that you know that that wouldn't be

487
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 2: fair for for anybody, let alone a rookie.

488
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: The dynamic kickoff goes into effect for real. Tampa Bay

489
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: punted on it. They barely gave us kickoff return, So

490
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that we learned much about Washington's kioff

491
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: return because they chose to just kick it out of

492
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: the end zone multiple times, and like I feel like

493
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: this change isn't punitive enough because the ball goes to

494
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: the thirty. When you do that, here's a lot of

495
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: teams going all right, well, I know you want us

496
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: to give you returns, but we don't have to so

497
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: and they've they've kind of gone in that direction and

498
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: said we don't want to. So I don't think we

499
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: saw a lot of what Washington's return game is gonna

500
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: look like now.

501
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 3: But I did. We did see who the who the

502
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 3: returners are.

503
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: Yes, they had They had Austin Ecklin back there and

504
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: also McNichols back there. So we got an idea and

505
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: they talked about the running back types being probably the

506
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 2: guys who will be best suited to beat those dynamic

507
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: kickoff returns because it kind of almost ends up being

508
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: a run play, so to speak. I would say it

509
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 2: is going back, you know, instead of if they wanted

510
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: to get more returners, I felt they should have just

511
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: moved it the kicker back five yards, you know, to

512
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: kick off another five yards.

513
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: You would have gotten a lot more returns and you didn't.

514
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: You could have kept being status quo in terms of

515
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 2: you wouldn't have had to wait to the ball for

516
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 2: the ball to be caught, but.

517
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: They didn't want everybody.

518
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: They didn't want everybody running full steam down the field

519
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: because of the collisions, which is why they changed it

520
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: in the first place, because they don't want all the

521
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 1: head injuries. That's that's why the players aren't lined up

522
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: where they were.

523
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: Well, then put it out to the thirty five.

524
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 2: Like you said, it's not pusitive enough if you're gonna

525
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 2: kick it into the end zone.

526
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 3: I would.

527
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: I really like to describe what's happened this offseason, especially

528
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: this summer into the first week with the kicking situation

529
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: here as flatly unlucky. I mean, they've had professional kickers

530
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: in here, they just they're missing. So you know, there's

531
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: another change coming with that this week. And I'm not surprised.

532
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: It wasn't even just the misses kicking a kickoff out

533
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: of bounds, Like come on, like that, that can't happen.

534
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: You know, they were trying it seems like they were

535
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 2: trying to pin the bucks returned into the corner and

536
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 2: you know, you got your you got your hey, come

537
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 2: kickoff covers, you know, and hey, we're going deep kick

538
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 2: to the left, so to speak. That means, hey, We're

539
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 2: kicking it to the corner of the left side of

540
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: the return to the field and kicked it out about

541
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how much practice he has doing that.

542
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 3: He's a young kid, you know, it takes a skill

543
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 3: to do that.

544
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: So you know, yeah, the kicking situation, it's not ideal

545
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 2: right now either for us.

546
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: No, all right, we have a new segment we're starting.

547
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: It's called hit Me with It with Big Fletch. We

548
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: got a home opener coming. I don't know what the

549
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: deal is with the Giants. In recent years, we have

550
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: a hard time beating that team. But it's whole new

551
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: world obviously now with everything changed here. So let's see

552
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: what that rivalry looks like once we get out to

Speaker 1: of it. So hit me with It. We got a

556
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: home opener where going back to sports radio, these guys

557
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: are going to be hearing it this week that it

558
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: is a must win that they got to beat the Giants.

559

Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well, here's here's hit me with It.

Speaker 2: we will win convincingly against the New York Giants, and

562
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 2: I know they've had our number, but it's a new

00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 2: day in the Burgundet Goal. Dan Quinn will get his

Speaker 2: It's gonna be a frenzy. I can't wait to watch

577
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: the party. That defense is gonna be flying around having fun.

578
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: Offense is gonna be hamming. We're gonna at least hail

579
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 2: on the New York Giants this Sunday.

580
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: So they all these coaches always talk about this. A

581
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 1: lot can change in a week. It's gonna have to

582
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: right for what for both New York and Washington for

583
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: that matter. It's gonna happen for both of these team.

584
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna be talking about the same things in both

585
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: locker rooms this week. Lot's gotta change. Explain to me

586
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: how a lot can change in.

587
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: A week, Well, a lot, a lot of things that

588
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: took place in that ball game has to change, and attention,

589
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: greater attention to detail. You know, New York Giants, man,

590
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 2: I know they got a new defensive coordinator, you know,

591
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: week Martindale is no longer there. But it'll be challenged,

592
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: It'll they'll they'll you know, present their challenges like every

593
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 2: defense in the National Football League does.

594
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 3: Wee can a week out.

595
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 2: But I'm sure they'll be a great game plan from

596
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 2: office standpoint of, hey, how to go out and attack

597
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 2: these guys. They'll be a game plan, a real game

598
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 2: worth of footage on the New York Giants defense, some

599
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: of the things they do from a strength standpoint, weakness standpoint,

600
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 2: and you know, let's let's see what they.

601
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 3: Come up from a plan to attack those guys.

602
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: Here's what I've also learned a lot to change it

603
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: the week when you win, everybody talks differently about literally

604
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: everything when you win.

605
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 3: Man, Everything is better when you win.

606
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, the sun just says like to

607
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 2: I guess it. Just the day feels better, food tastes better.

608
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 3: Man.

609
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: Your hair looks better, Bram. You know all types of things.

610
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: You just feel a lot better about yourself.

611
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with my hair. I got a lot of

612
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: issues with a lot of things. My hair looks fine.

613
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 3: Well, remember my hair looks a little better.

615
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,280

Speaker 3: Giants, all right,
