Transcript

00:00I mean, Bobby and Lou Vu are so established, right?

00:02I mean, those dudes are entrenched.

00:04There's no questions about their ability or their role.

00:07A young player we've all been excited about is Jordan McGee.

00:11He was really good last camp, and then he had the injury,

00:14and it kind of dogged him for the rest of his rookie season.

00:18There was a lot of excitement again for McGee,

00:20and then he didn't make the trip, right?

00:22Like, he missed a couple practices, didn't make this trip.

00:25And it kind of – I mean, this is a cutthroat-ass business.

00:28It's kind of opened the door for Medrano to get more reps.

00:32Medrano, he's a rookie, but he can cover, man.

00:34He's got real speed.

00:36What do you think about kind of that next tier of linebackers for Washington?

00:41Well, you hate to see that Jordan is injured

00:44and not able to get those practices to practice yesterday

00:48and also be able to play this preseason game

00:51because as a young player, you want to get as many reps as possible,

00:55and you mentioned him dealing with the injury a season ago.

00:58But for Kay Medrano, this is an opportunity for him to showcase himself

01:03and put himself in a mix to be maybe that third linebacker

01:08or whether they view him as a hybrid linebacker safety type of role.

01:14So, you just – you go out and you take advantage of the situation that you're given.

01:20Hopefully, McGee is not a long-term injury or something

01:23that he can get back on the field as quickly as possible.

01:26But I definitely want to see Medrano play.
