00:01Tonight, want to know what you want to see.
00:03Personally, I do want to see Jayden Daniels play.
00:05I said a quarter, give him a couple series,
00:08but I do think a lot of times these coaches like to see him get one touchdown in
00:13or one score in.
00:15We'll do that next week.
00:16If that happens in the first series and you're fine with his work,
00:19he completes a couple passes, then fine.
00:22I'm okay with taking him out of there.
00:24But I do want to see Jayden on the field.
00:26We did put this up as our junkies poll of the day.
00:28Right now, 64% say J.D. 5 needs to play.
00:3236% say no.
00:341-800-636-1067.
00:36I do want to see Diggs on the field.
00:38I'm just, maybe it's selfish.
00:39I want to see the new guys.
00:42So I want to see O.A.
00:44I want to see Sonny Stiles, of course.
00:47I want to see Cross.
00:48I want a Lamborghini.
00:50You want to see those guys.
00:52It just kind of depends on Dan Quinn's mentality.
00:55What do you think should happen?
00:56I think they should play the...
00:57I don't think they should play him in this game.
00:59Okay, that's J.D.
01:00What about Sonny Stiles?
01:01I think they should play...
01:02Sonny Stiles, I'm okay with.
01:03I think they should play the newcomers on defense.
01:06Yes.
01:06So O.A., Chase on...
01:08Yep, yep.
01:09As long as you're healthy.
01:09Nick Cross.
01:10Play him for a series.
01:11I just want to see him out there.
01:12I don't know.
01:12I don't think...
01:13If one of those guys ends up with a catastrophic injury,
01:15playing one dumb series in the world's meaningless game...
01:19Listen, I want J.D. to play the last three or four regular season games last year.
01:22They shut him down.
01:23That was a regular season.
01:24Do you want to see Chig on the field tonight?
01:27Yeah, I'd be fine with that.
01:28I don't think he has...
01:29I'd be fine with it.
01:29You're the head coach, EB.
01:30Well, I got to field somebody.
01:33Okay.
01:34Yeah, I'd probably...
01:35I'm okay with Chig playing.
01:37Who are the guys you're not playing?
01:38You're not playing J.D.
01:39You're the head coach.
01:40Not playing Terry.
01:41Might not play Diggs, because I don't know for sure.
01:44I don't want him to have a soft tissue thing.
01:47Those three guys, for sure.
01:50You playing O.A.?
01:51Might not play O.A.
01:52He's been dominant.
01:53Well, why play him in the second game?
01:56Well, you're going to acknowledge that you're going to play a little bit in the preseason,
02:00but you're going to do it all with all your ones.
02:02You're going to get him in, get him out.
02:04You're going to do it one time.
02:05Rams don't play him at all, right?
02:07Nope.
02:07They don't play him at all in the preseason.
02:09Yeah.
02:09Some teams just don't do it.
02:10It's not worth the risk.
02:11Yeah.
02:11I want to see the defense, especially the newcomers, but you may not.
02:16I'm going to sit.
02:16I'd love to see Styles out there.
02:18Jaden, Terry.
02:19I'm probably even going to sit Diggs.
02:21I'm okay with playing like Antonio Williams, Diami, all those guys.
02:25And I like Antonio a lot.
02:26I think he's going to be a stud.
02:28I think I might be okay with playing O.A., but I don't need to.
02:32He's been dominant.
02:33Like, in reality, you don't even need to play a guy like Marcus Mariota.
02:37You know what he is.
02:38Yeah, but he's not going to get any work.
02:41He's a backup, so.
02:41He's not going to get much work.
02:42You're going to see Hartman and Caliak-Manus.
02:44And the Caliak-Manus.
02:45Yeah, you want Mariota to get some work to be sharp,
02:49and then the last game they'll play Hartman and Athanakis or whatever his name is.
02:54Caliak-Manus.
02:55Caliak-Manus.
02:56Yeah, I'll never get that.
02:58I heard this yesterday.
02:59It was kind of funny.
03:00A buddy of mine's friend lives in the same neighborhood as Sonny Stiles.
03:04Sonny Stiles comes home from practice,
03:06and then he runs all over the neighborhood.
03:08Okay, so he's a fitness guy.
03:10Oh, yeah, just runs, runs, runs, runs.
03:13Runs for like an hour.
03:14Yeah, that's awesome.
03:16He's just a freak.
03:17I would like to see.
03:19He's also young.
03:19Oh, he can do it.
03:20Yeah, he can do it.
03:21But he's also a freak of nature.
03:22Yes.
03:23But I'd like to see.
03:24I want to see the defense out there.
03:26Just, you know, give me a reason to watch.
03:28Yeah.
03:28They're going to be vanilla.
03:30I'm sure.
03:31I just want to see them make plays.
03:32Yeah.
03:331-800-636-1067.
03:36And I think you want to see the kickers in this kicking battle.
03:40Yeah.
03:40Definitely want to see the kickers.
03:42They were both.
03:42And I would force a long kick,
03:44even if you know it's not going to be likely to go.
03:47Like, if you have a 67-yarder, put them out there.
03:51Put them out there to see how close it is.
03:55I don't know about a 67-yarder, but it's definitely a 57-yarder.
03:59You want to see him.
03:59Well, from all accounts, the kid drills the 60-yarders.
04:04Stevens?
04:04Drew Stevens.
04:05Yeah.
04:05Well, he's got the leg.
04:06He's got like a cannon for a leg.
04:08So, why not try it in the preseason?
04:11Yeah.
04:12800-636-1067.
04:14Let's go to the phones.
04:15First preseason game tonight.
04:16We will revisit the Jaden Daniels issue shortly with Paul Feinbaum.
04:21All right.
04:22Let's go to Gary in Upper Marlboro.
04:26Hey, Gary.
04:27What's up, man?
04:27You're on with the junkies.
04:30Good morning, junks.
04:31Thank you for taking my call.
04:32Thanks, man.
04:33Yeah.
04:34I don't want to see Jaden play at all in the preseason.
04:37I'm sorry.
04:38I don't want to see him play.
04:41He's the one guy that if he's injured, we're not going anywhere.
04:45Okay?
04:45And I just don't know if a quarter year, you know, a series here is going to make a dramatic
04:53difference.
04:53I mean, the Cowboys are not going to play Dak Prescott.
04:57The Rams are not going to play Stafford.
04:59Right.
05:00And it's going to be a lot of that around the league because they know if these guys go down,
05:04the season is over.
05:05It's about 50-50.
05:07We went through it earlier.
05:08I mean, Joe Burrow played.
05:10Kirk Cousins played.
05:11What's one drive of Joe Burrow going to do?
05:13Jordan Love played.
05:15And if those guys get injured, their season is over.
05:19It's the most important position.
05:21I'm curious to ask you this because I want to see where you draw the line.
05:25So, you don't want to play Jaden.
05:26What about Bill?
05:28Corey Krosky-Meritt.
05:30You play him?
05:30You play him.
05:31Yeah.
05:31He ain't that special.
05:33Yeah.
05:33I think those guys can get some reps because if he goes down, the season is not over.
05:39Okay.
05:40And he's a young player and he needs to pick up the new system.
05:43So, I don't have a problem with these younger guys.
05:45I wouldn't play Terry either.
05:47Okay?
05:47I wouldn't play Terry.
05:49You know Terry's doing his job.
05:50You know he's in shape.
05:51You know he's in shape.
05:52You play Chig.
05:54The new tight end.
05:55I can play Chig.
05:56Yeah, I play Chig because Chig hasn't proven that he's an indistensible part of the team.
06:00Okay?
06:01I mean, he comes from Tennessee, a losing organization.
06:05You know, he's not anything to put in bubble wrap.
06:08Yeah, get him out there and let's see what he has.
06:11Those young players, Nick Kros, those guys.
06:14Yeah, you can play those guys.
06:15But, you know, our season is going to be dramatically impacted if there's no Terry and if there's no Jaden.
06:21And I just don't think it's worth the risk.
06:23Yeah.
06:23That's fair.
06:24I'm with you.
06:25I'm with you, Gary.
06:26Thank you, buddy.
06:26Appreciate you.
06:28I have to go through the list.
06:29First, for sure, no Terry.
06:32I think maybe no Diggs just because he was a little late.
06:35And no Jaden.
06:35That's all you really want to do.
06:36That's for sure.
06:38What about the defensive side?
06:39Would you hold Stiles out?
06:41No, I think I would play Stiles.
06:43You play Payne?
06:44I might hold Payne out.
06:47Play Kinlaw?
06:48I might hold Kinlaw out.
06:51You play Johnny Newton?
06:53I play Johnny Newton.
06:55I mean, you got to play somebody.
06:57You know what I mean?
06:58You got to play somebody.
06:59I just wondered.
07:00He said he's wondering where he draws the line.
07:02Yeah, where I draw the line is, like, the older vets that I really don't want to lose.
07:07But you also don't want to lose Sonny Stiles.
07:09Yeah.
07:10He's young and resilient.
07:12He can tear an ACL.
07:13He needs the reps.
07:14Yeah, I know.
07:15Yep.
07:16It's a risk.
07:18But I'd play him.
07:19I'd play Stiles.
07:20The only reason I want to see Jaden, at least for a series, is because you got some new guys
07:23out there, and I just want to see them.
07:25Yeah, but that's why the joint practice helps with that a lot, too.
07:27I know, I know.
07:28And that's probably why you're not going to see him.
07:29But as a fan, I'd want to see him.
07:31Oh, yeah.
07:32But as a fan, I want to see him play four quarters.
07:33I don't care about Sam Hartman.
07:34I mean, as a fan, I want to let's just go skip preseason.
07:37Let's play.
07:37I think I'm probably going to lose the bet with EB, but it's not like I know it.
07:43I think I'm 40-60.
07:4440% that Jaden plays tonight.
07:47I think I'll be stunned if he plays.
07:49Oh, I would not be stunned at all, because Quinn has made it a point that training camp
07:53was going to be different, and that might carry over to preseason.
07:56I know, but everybody's got different rules, especially for the guys like Jaden.
08:02And I do wonder, Jason, he's built like a freaking toothpick.
08:05I don't think it's the case, but I do wonder if all of this noise somehow impacts the decision
08:13to play him.
08:14I don't think Dan Quinn cares about that.
08:15Let the story die a little bit more, because if he plays, he's going to have to step to
08:20the podium, right?
08:21Yeah.
08:21I think that's like a quarterback rule.
08:23But that might be a good thing to get it over with.
08:25That might be a good thing, too.
08:26Maybe he dies.
08:26I mean, he knows eventually he's going to have to talk about it.
08:29Yeah.
08:30He's going to say very little.
08:31I don't think Dan Quinn cares about that.
08:32He's going to say very little.
08:34Yeah.
08:34He's going to say about exactly what his statement is, and then guys have to go on to the next
08:38question.
08:38He's going to stick to whatever process.
08:40I mean, he's either going to play him because he wants to see him, or he's not going to
08:43play him because he wants to save him and doesn't want to risk it.
08:45But he's got to play him in preseason game two, I would think.
08:49I don't think he has to, but I think I'm okay with him playing like a quarter.
08:53Play all your ones for a quarter.
08:55Get some good work in.
08:56Ideally, get a nice drive and get him the hell out of there and just put him on ice until
09:01week one.
09:02Don't you want some in-game, not in a scrimmage, not in a joint practice, but in-game communication
09:08from Blau to J.D. Daniels through the helmet?
09:12Yeah, I agree.
09:14Do that for one quarter.
09:15One quarter, second game, all your ones, and then get him the hell out.
09:19I don't know why the second game over the first game.
09:22I just think you'll probably be going against better competition.
09:24I think that's where everyone's going to gear up.
09:27Joe!
09:28What's up, buddy?
09:30Hey, what's up, fellas?
09:31Big fan.
09:32Appreciate it.
09:32I would definitely be hesitant to play J.D. Daniels.
09:36I think no for today.
09:37I mean, I'm going to be at the game.
09:38I would love to see the guy play, but it's just too risky.
09:41You put him out there, one thing could go wrong, and the season's kind of derailed.
09:45We already have a tough start to the season.
09:47Don't want to make it tougher on ourselves.
09:49But I'm really excited to see these young guys play, like the Antonio Williams.
09:54We've heard a lot of them.
09:55Yeah, I can't wait to see them.
09:56I can't wait to see them.
09:57I can't wait to see them.
09:57But I can't wait to see who shines out of that group and who doesn't show up.
10:02Did you agree?
10:03Hey, did you agree who I said I would play and not play?
10:09Honestly, I am fine playing anyone besides J.D. Daniels.
10:12You would play Terry?
10:13I think.
10:14In a meaningless game?
10:15I think I'd play Terry.
10:16I mean, I don't really have a problem with it.
10:18What do you need to see from Terry?
10:19What do you need to see from him?
10:21I don't need to see anything, but I mean, it would just be nice to see the guys.
10:25One drive.
10:26A lot of serves played yesterday.
10:29Joe Burrow, who had injury problems all last year.
10:32Yeah, that's the one surprising one to me.
10:34I was kind of surprised.
10:35Yeah, I was surprised by that, too.
10:36But, I mean, one drive, it's unlikely anything really happens.
10:40But J.D. Daniels, you never know.
10:41That could really mess everything up.
10:43It's also because J.D. likes to take off.
10:44Like, instinctively.
10:45Like, you can tell J.D., hey, man, just get rid of it, get rid of it, get rid of
10:49it.
10:49And then instinct comes over and he takes off.
10:51And then, boom, you got dislocated freaking arm.
10:54You know, or whatever the hell happened last year.
10:57Let's go to Andre.
10:58Five of the teams that played last night played their starting quarterback.
11:01I know who Jason's going to be rooting for the most.
11:04Your boy, Deami Brown.
11:06I want to see Deami.
11:07Jason's man crush because of a YouTube video.
11:09I love Deami.
11:10I like Deami.
11:11You should like Deami.
11:12I do.
11:13I've always liked him.
11:14Nothing against him.
11:14I just don't think he's that good.
11:16I think he's fine.
11:17He's not Jerry Rice, but I think I want to see him make the roster.
11:20100% he's dead.
11:21I don't really care if he makes the roster or Trelon Burks makes the roster.
11:24Well, I like Deami better than Trelon Burks.
11:26It's just the way it sounded out of J.P.'s mouth.
11:29What?
11:29Nothing against him.
11:30I just don't think he's that good.
11:32Relative to the NFL.
11:33I know.
11:34It's just funny.
11:35I mean, he's a fourth or fifth receiver.
11:36I know.
11:36I know.
11:37I know.
11:37It's just funny the way he said it.
11:38Let's go to Andre in Manassas.
11:40Hey, Andre.
11:41Hey, gentlemen.
11:42Good morning.
11:43I say play them all, man.
11:45I mean, at the end of the day, you know,
11:48jobs are going to be the line at the end of this season.
11:50And the way we start up this year at Philly, at Dallas,
11:55and our first home game is the World Champs, you don't have room for error, man.
11:59This season can go sideways real quick.
12:01So I would hate for them to put everyone in a bubble wrap,
12:05and they don't need to start off slow and cold based on this particular schedule.
12:10Ramp it up.
12:11To your point, you know, why play Terry?
12:15I mean, they had, like, what, five games last year together?
12:18So there's a lot this team needs to prove on the field.
12:23Period.
12:23End of story.
12:24Jaden, Terry, everyone.
12:26The coaching staff.
12:27So I don't think this is the type of season coming off the season you had last year
12:32where people have to be on bubble wraps.
12:34You kind of have to just go hard.
12:35Period.
12:36End of story.
12:36Based on how the schedule is going to start.
12:38Three playoff games, three playoff teams to start the season, including the World Champs.
12:43It's a tough schedule, man.
12:45Thanks, pal.
12:45It's a brutal schedule.
12:47I'm with you there, buddy.
12:49Let's go to Robert in Fairfax.
12:51Robert, what's up, man?
12:52Y'all with the Jungs.
12:54How are we doing, guys?
12:55Hey.
12:57I think I don't want to see Terry or Cosme the whole preseason.
13:01There's no point.
13:02We know what they can do.
13:04Let's not get them out there.
13:06I think the defense needs to play a series or two altogether, the ones tonight.
13:11I mean, this stuff's all about ramping up.
13:13You really got to get these guys back in check.
13:15Will Harris is probably going to be your ex or whatever they call it that's giving you the on-field
13:20communication.
13:20He needs to get out there with those guys.
13:22And then, honestly, I think Jaden and Diggs, next game, just save them, play them two series.
13:28I think we're overrating this Jaden injury thing, guys.
13:31He's a football player.
13:32It's not like he's a piece of glass out there.
13:36He kind of is.
13:37He's not going to get hurt for sure.
13:38He, listen.
13:40Eric just doesn't want to risk it.
13:41I just don't want to risk it.
13:42He built like a twig.
13:44He could do a scripted drive where it's a slant.
13:48Quick throws.
13:49That would be fine.
13:50That would be fine.
13:52But you know instinctively, if somebody busts through, he's going to dance around him and take off.
13:57It's instinct.
13:57I'll be holding my breath for sure.
13:59But at the end of the day, the guy's got to play football.
14:01You know?
14:02I think he's going to play.
14:03I think he's going to play.
14:04I think he's going to play a little bit in week two.
14:06I don't think in week one of the preseason.
14:07I think he's going to play a little bit in week two.
14:09Then I'm going to never play him again.
14:10And then week one.
14:12That's what I think you're going to see.
14:14I agree.
14:14Thanks, Tom.
