00:00throughout the week we've been preaching patience on this program because there's a lot of time
00:05for free agency especially like on the first day when people are freaking out yeah and i said all
00:10week at noon on thursday let's have a conversation about where we think things are okay i want to be
00:17clear nothing is fixed until we see it on the field i'm with that but i believe i very much
00:23believe they have addressed needs and i think in free agency you're in a better spot to address
00:29needs and then when you get to the draft you can go get the best player so get a best
00:33player whatever
00:34right so how are folks feeling now phone lines are open let's start with our guy eli in dc has
00:43been
00:43on hold what's up elijah what's going on fellas thanks for taking my call man i'm feeling great
00:49man you hit the nail on the head i think they've addressed uh the proper things to go into the
00:55draft feeling comfortable uh to put themselves in a position that you don't have to panic
01:00i think this year what you're going to have is uh the element of surprise
01:07i think you're going to have the same thing from the there people not going to know what's going
01:12going to go on so when you're going to have the tight end that's showing uh you know an inline
01:17blocking and running that that's put a
01:21Eli your phone's coming in now see if you can get him back but that was just driving me nuts
01:27um i'm only going in order of hold here our guy easy e is in rockville what's up easy
01:36hey what's going on before i get to uh everything i just want you to know it's snowing outside jp
01:41we haven't even played our favorite game of is it snowing outside but people have made me aware and
01:47i am not happy about it the one day i can maybe go hit a golf ball dude it was
01:52ready you would go
01:53into a golf ball today in traffic i was able to go away from how he's going in traffic to
01:58it's
01:58snowing outside today that's a good audible by you good audible hey look i am i am like i'm excited
02:07because he did not react to the fans he reacted to what the team needed and he addressed the needs
02:15on the team you're not going to address 100 of their needs on a team like the commanders that
02:19essentially need like 10 12 players to like really reshape this team but he went out to address
02:26one of the weakest worst groups on this team which was the defense okay and then he still went out
02:34and got jayden a weapon on tight end with shining chase and then i just want y'all to know
02:41if you
02:42think that like i'm not freaking out but i'm telling you right now here's what the next time the fans
02:47don't freak out the draft when we don't draft the players they want when we have cut or the players
02:52they like and then they're not gonna freak out though if we make it to the playoff or something
02:58see fans have what they what i call they want the sexiest toy out there team well mommy and daddy
03:03don't get it what get them what they want for christmas they mad that's the same thing that
03:07free agency is we're not let's let adam peters do his job and stop trying to do adam peters job
03:13thanks for taking my call i appreciate you easy good way of explaining it um let's go to jayden in
03:19pennsylvania jayden i believe was hot early in the week jayden where you at now
03:25hey how's it going i mean i think free agency as a whole it's kind of just by the margins
03:30so i mean
03:30i'm not too excited but obviously not that i think peters did what he had to do and i'm obviously
03:35i'm
03:35not really a quinn or peters guy but i don't care like as long as the team is cooking and
03:40you know
03:40i'll give credit where credit's due but yeah i mean i think it's on the margins i don't think it's
03:43anything to get excited about i mean if you look at all the contenders it's through the draft
03:48and by trades like philly's build their team in the draft and by trades same with the rams same
03:53with the chiefs same with seattle so i i think these are good on the margins but again it only
03:59matters if our draft picks hit and you know we swung and miss on a big trade but i think
04:04peters did
04:05what he had to do i think this season i think we're kind of more like the giants and the
04:10bears and that
04:11kind of tier teams where we just need to be competent and not get blown out every game so
04:16at this so i kind of think that's where i'm at i don't really think we're a contender i just
04:21think
04:21this year we need to get back on track and be just competent and not get blown out and i
04:25think
04:26peters with these signings these are good on the margins so i think kind of it's by expectation i
04:30think the fans that are super upset just have unrealistic expectations i don't think we're kind
04:35of rebuilding now and i think the trade and things like that set us back but peters kind of
04:40did what he's has to do but these are marginal in my opinion all right so jayden i think you
04:46just
04:46have like some straight hater in you and that's okay people people have what they have like i'm
04:50not mad at you for it what trade really set them back latimore yeah we trade yeah trades and draft
04:58picks i think that's kind of i think you know where we've been set only the latimore trade was a
05:03setback
05:03debo for a fifth you got value and tonsil's been tonsil was their best player last year and is one
05:10of
05:10the top five offensive linemen in the nfl so if it's sure if it's picks and trades
05:18if you want to say it's marginal like i think they have increased above the margin at a position of
05:30desperate need along the edges i really like the linebacker i really like the safety so i think
05:36i i appreciate the call i appreciate you always listen to the program i appreciate your perspective
05:41i i have some disagreement he doesn't want to give he he just stated i'm not a peters or a
05:47queen guy
05:49and what i was going to say is jayden just keep moving the damn uh goal line if they do
05:56something of
05:57what he said they wouldn't and then they do that then he move it to something else now to that's
06:01just how it goes the one thing i will say have you seen pulp fiction i highly doubt the boys
06:06in the
06:06aquarium have seen pulp fiction but pulp fiction you have white brian shout out to white brian no chance
06:10strober but pulp fiction there's a very famous scene where harvey kytel comes in his character is known as
06:17mr wolf right and it's the it's travolta and samuel l jackson are these gangsters they end up at
06:24tarantino's house there's an spoiler alert the movie's 40 years old so i'm just gonna say it
06:29they like they kind of accidentally kill this dude they didn't mean to but they shot him right in the
06:34head and it exploded all over this dude's car so they had a big problem so mr wolf shows up
06:40to fix
06:41the problem but they still have to drive this car past the police station basically well clean it so
06:48they clean it they get it all relatively looking good but mr wolf makes a quote that has always stuck
06:54with me he says let's not start bleeping our own bleeps quite yet which means like yo we've got a
07:00good start to things but the job ain't over let's keep going and i think for washington fans that are
07:06super excited cool we haven't seen him play yet and i think for these cynics the jayden's from
07:12pennsylvania of the world i think you can allow a little more a little more i'm trying to think i
07:16don't know if jayden really a fan of this team i think he might be a fan of the other
07:19team he's just
07:20and he just want to troll and want to keep things going the other way we'll take the we'll take
07:26the views and the listeners uh our guy big t is in sterling now my guess is isn't it big
07:33g in
07:33sterling i think it's big g i think stallion misheard but we're about to find out hello is this big
07:38t or big g this is big g and big g it's your chicken man what stallion messed up man
07:45he put big t
07:46although big g you i can't necessarily call you my chicken man until you deliver the chicken wings
07:56i love i love is it the buffalo wing factory in sterling shout out to them yes sir anybody close
08:05to this uh 10 15 you get some chicken and some catfish bring it in i know that's right
08:12hey look check this out i think we got like uh i'll give my i give my team a b
08:17for what they did
08:19they adjusted the defense like they were supposed to do and they got a good player on offense now all
08:25these fans out here i don't i don't get them they asked for what they asked for you can't get
08:32them
08:32players like that those of them players didn't want to come here like if like the um like the
08:39like the receiver he didn't want to come here we offered him more money and he went with them
08:48thanks big g hi g please bring some chicken uh then you can be a real chicken man uh let's
08:55go to
08:55vick and akiki hey what's up man it's thursday at noon what's up fellas what's happening so um
09:04first off a b mix i definitely gotta give you a shout out because you shouted me and my brother
09:08out
09:08a couple weeks ago you were talking uh on the guest hotline and you were talking about how we uh
09:14put
09:15emphasis on uh fundamentals eyes and teeth yeah i thought that was dope um now i i give it a
09:23b plus
09:24and i want to say a b plus like a 89.8 um and i'll give the curve to dorante
09:31uh jones because he's
09:33the defensive coordinator so i feel he's going to get the most out of always so i i guess i
09:38can round
09:38it up to a a minus um it's a very precise grade there were football people i know these these
09:46uh signings
09:47were football picks these were football people making these decisions um what i saw and all the
09:54highlights of the players that we signed were football moves i saw people that uh can read
10:00guard to tackle at the linebacker position uh senator god i saw people that could uh set the edge with
10:06their hands uh use their leverage i saw people getting to the passer and setting the edge and not
10:12slicing gaps being able to identify blocks down blocks reach blocks drive blocks i saw people that
10:18made plays at the football at the point of attack um these things are what we should see as fans
10:24well
10:24knowledgeable football fans not just commander fans when we make these signings because then we say
10:29this aligns to us making winning football plays to win football games so um um i agree uh with uh
10:37mr wolf let's start blanketing blanketing let's not do that yet we're not out of the woods we still
10:43we still we still we still got to clean the upholstery yeah we still got to make sure uh you
10:47all get
10:48bathed and washed and we we got to make sure we don't run into uh uh the robber and his
10:53girlfriend
10:54at the diner vick knows the whole damn movie i appreciate you thank you man vick knows the whole movie
11:00he sure does but you know and that's that's the thing of like like my thing is we have to
11:05be able
11:06to separate things as they start going through free agency you can give them a grade on that
11:13you have to sometimes forget about what was and look at what is and you can't think about what's
11:18going to be if you don't must figure out what the hell is most people are always complaining about
11:23the past and the future and they never ever discuss the present and dude they still have
11:30work to do yeah they still gotta have receivers you probably have to add some old line depth like
11:34there's gonna be more guys coming in yes but i think giving it a little time to breathe folks are
11:41pretty excited and give a little woosah yeah uh speaking of woosah our guy uh jupe is in west
11:47virginia what's up man what's up jupe what's going on fellas hey i figured it out i figured out what's
11:54wrong with this crazy as hell fan base everybody wants us to take take advantage of him at the
12:00daniel's rookie contract we know when he gets that extension it could be astronomical but this is a
12:07this is a situation we're in we're not the broncos with bo nicks we're not the patriots with drake may
12:13where they had way better drafting and praying player development we we ap got 100 holes to fill
12:21with two draft picks and yes i'm exaggerating but that's just it means you know that's just the
12:27situation we're in you got to be patient got to give it time he's trying to do the best he
12:32can with
12:32what he got to fill the holes of you know to try to make everything work can't have that mad
12:39mentality
12:40where i can trade um deron pain for justin justinson straight up and get an extra pick on top of
12:48that
12:48it doesn't work in the real world these sidewalk gms got to chill out man we're making progress we're
12:54making work again i'll piggyback off the previous uh the previous call let's just get to the point to
13:00where we're competent i'm looking for that the communication on the field is complete and
13:07competent they're not talking to each other when the ball is snapped yeah and we are at least if
13:11we're getting beat just because we have less talent i'm fine with that we're building something
13:17we're working towards getting to that point and we're definitely going to get there it just takes
13:22time so that's all i got for you guys i appreciate you good to hear from you bud um
13:30so far i'm giving one dude top billing as far as credit on the day who mark and largo called
13:38up and
13:38apologized haven't haven't heard from many other people that were calling and yelling b they don't
13:44they because they get credit they only want to be heard they only want to be heard they don't
13:48really care about listening to you they want you to listen to them though
