00:00Kudos to Dan Quinn and the Washington Commanders who, great season, rookie quarterback, nobody

00:07saw them doing what they've done, and here they are in the postseason for the first time

00:12and it feels like forever, taking on a very experienced Tampa Bay Bucs team and a quarterback

00:19in Baker Mayfield that has been here before.

00:24I couldn't imagine sweating out an under in this game, but I also can't imagine backing

00:29a rookie quarterback, as good as he was this year in Jaden Daniels, I just can't do it.

00:34Yeah, I'm with you.

00:35I'm not wanting to back Jaden Daniels, a rookie quarterback, on the road against a guy with

00:41playoff experience and playoff wins under his belt, not only that, a rookie quarterback

00:45with a defense that's got a very poor secondary, right?

00:48Like that is, you know, you're asking this young man to continually throw and have to

00:54put the team on his back to get them forward, you know, or get them back in the game is

00:58a really bad game script for a rookie quarterback in their first postseason start, right?

01:03You kind of want it to be very slow, very methodical, and you want the running game

01:08to sort of help him out a lot.

01:09I don't know if that's the case because the Buccaneers are really hard to run on.

01:12You want to beat the Buccaneers, you got to do it in their secondary.

01:15That's not to say Jaden Daniels isn't capable of doing that, but again, there's going to

01:20be some nerves, some jitters for him going into this start in this game and trying to

01:24win the thing.

01:25You know, again, I am someone who looks at things from a game script perspective, and

01:29I try to write a game script for the commanders here to be able to win this thing, and I just

01:34don't know if it's one that they do well, which is rely on the run, rely on the defense,

01:39and get to Baker Mayfield, right?

01:42Like they don't really have a consummate pass rush that's going to make Baker Mayfield uncomfortable

01:46and force him into some mistakes.

01:47If you can do that, you get a shot to be in this game.
