00:00What about the perfect first half from Darnold?
00:03I mean, it was 16-16, four scores.
00:05Again, Sam Darnold.
00:07Jayden, though, injured in the process.
00:08Sam Darnold is like Baker Mayfield.
00:10The change of scenery has done him well.
00:13The offensive line protects him.
00:15He looks like he knows where he wants to go with the football,
00:17and they have an identity and a physicality about them.
00:21When they can run the football with Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker,
00:24they are very difficult to defend, and that defense with McDonald
00:28looks similar to what he built in Baltimore.
00:30I always thought their defense was going to be really good.
00:32I was worried about Darnold behind a tough O-line and a downgrade in weapons
00:36because he was leaving Justin Jefferson.
00:38Jackson Smith and Jake has been the best receiver in football this year.
00:41I think he should be the offensive player of the year.
00:43Favorite, that's not a slight.
00:44He had a 98-and-a-half number in that game.
00:47What did he catch?
00:4811 for 129.
00:50It just didn't matter.
00:51His fourth consecutive game with eight grabs, 129 yards.
00:54He's averaging 16 yards a catch, which doesn't even feel possible.
00:58He's 52 yards away from 1,000.
01:01They've only played eight games, by the way.
01:03They've already had their bye week.
01:04And it's amazing that we looked at this roster, and we said,
01:08it's him and everybody else.
01:10But they still can't cover him.
01:12No, it's incredible.
01:13It's incredible.
01:14The only thing is, and I didn't take it because it didn't matter,
01:16but Collinsworth kept saying, ah, you see how the run has opened this up.
01:20They're so focused on stopping the run.
01:22Stopping the run.
01:24They're averaging four yards a carry and 14 yards a pass.
01:27If that's the case, give Dan Quinn a shake and get everybody out of the box, kid.
01:33Washington's defense has more goals.
01:35Are you upset about the fact that Daniels was in that game?
01:37No, no.
01:38I just, you know, he's got multiple injuries now.
01:42You know, the elbow is a non-throwing arm, but he's not going to play in the regular season.
01:50At least I wouldn't recommend it at this point.
01:54He, when he tucks it and runs, he's vulnerable.
01:57And again, he cannot be the end-all be-all for a rushing attack.
02:01They have Chris Rodriguez.
02:02I know he's not elite, but he's still a more physical runner than Crosby Merritt.
02:07Right?
02:08And you have pedestrian running backs.
02:11They had Eckler.
02:12No, the team is not well-built around him.
02:14They have all these aging stars.
02:17Deebo, they need to draft younger.
02:20Zach Ertz at the end of his career.
02:22Eckler at the end of his career.
02:24McNichols at the end.
02:25I mean, how many more?
02:26You know.
02:27Look, there is not a single player in sports you and I have debated about more than Jaden Daniels.
02:34You know I have been very gracious to him.
02:36I do not think they set him up for some success.
02:38But I've been, as much as I love Jaden Daniels, I've been objective.
02:41You've been very, especially with this commander's team, but I just want to say this, okay, about should he have been in?
02:47Because the drive that he got injured on started with 12 and a half minutes left.
02:49That's a lot of time.
02:51The first play of the fourth quarter was commander's ball at the 50.
02:56Fourth and 14.
02:58They punted.
02:59At that moment right there, you said game's over.
03:02Right.
03:02You should not have been in if you're punting at the 50 on fourth and 14.
03:07That's a great point.
03:08It's a great point.
03:09And again, you know, Jaden's a competitor and maybe he wanted to come in.
03:14He's missed some time.
03:15Maybe he did want to go up against the defense.
03:18Maybe he was, you know, itching for stats.
03:20Yeah.
03:21It is what it is.
03:22You know, it's unfortunate.
03:24But if you're Dan Quinn, that's where the coach has to take over.
03:27I know.
03:27Well, that's, again, and that's why.
03:29They're going to be happy this team is done.
03:31You know, you know, you're going to be happy this team.
