00:00the commanders had their first game on friday night my uh buddy greg was going and he was all
00:05excited he doesn't follow super closely i think he was overseas for a long time and he goes i'm
00:11excited to see jayden i was like yeah bet on jayden to play but i'm not thinking he's gonna
00:15play now and they held out a couple dozen players yep 26 that was the reported number it's it's
00:24funny how some coaches their mentality is to start guys for a series or two and then there's some
00:29coaches that say not worth it we're not going to start one guy it's kind of weird i think if
00:33you're super super secure in your job you might throw your your starters out there for a series
00:39or two yeah that doesn't really jibe with sean mcveigh he's pretty secure his job he doesn't
00:44play anybody but like if you're if you're kind of entering a hot seat ish type of season like dan
00:49quinn you're really going to get one of your guys banged up your critical guys banged up in the first
00:55preseason game if it were me i'd probably do the same thing yeah i just it's just much more
00:59interesting to see even though you're going to see him for a series to see the starters yeah i
01:02thought that was silly but i think the game two was the one where i would maybe play him a
01:06quarter
01:06maybe yeah that's even in doubt now was there anything you could truly take out of that game
01:13because there were some performances that were okay but they were by guys that you're not going to
01:17really see the running back robert henry well even like uh jayden bradley
01:22nice story yeah but he's going to be a practice squad those are stories for the you're building
01:27the first drive and i don't know what you put it this the first drive was by the dolphins
01:3414 plays 93 yards yep so there were some starters on the field like sunny styles yeah um that wasn't
01:44a
01:44great look that was the one thing they harped on post game was that first drive yeah uh not happy
01:50about that but from there on out was pretty good it was still one drive one drive but you want
01:55to
01:55start the game especially with what few starters you do have out there you want to start with a
01:59little more intensity than that you don't want to yeah i mean they went right down the field a
02:03terrible team but it's not your starting defensive line up yeah yeah yeah can't make too much of a
02:09generalization about it right the reports from the joint scrimmage was when they matched up
02:15malik willis had no time washing dominated yeah yeah that's why you can't take almost anything out
02:21of it i know all eyes were on sunny because you know he's the first round draft pick but who
02:26knows
02:26what their calls were it's probably very generic yeah and they didn't have the defensive line
02:30miami's playing their starters yeah there was a viral clip i'm sure you saw where they had every
02:35one of his plays yeah and it's just difficult to make of it so yeah you know can't put too
02:40much
02:41dan afterwards said that he was pleased with his uh with the play of uh of sunny and leo chanel
02:46so
02:46who knows even though hann was running right up the middle yeah just take him at his word 15 yards
02:52so he is a stud yeah he's i mean there's no doubt about that uh some good news quinn said
02:58that tomorrow
02:59john bates who's now the hamstring and nick allegretti who's been out the calf will actually return to
03:04practice all right that's good get them so they are getting healthier um trey amos still
03:11unknown we did get to see katron allen a lot fat man yeah scored didn't have a dynamite per carry
03:20uh but sub four yards per carry it was 3.7 yeah um but he and henry ran for buck
03:2660 combined yeah
03:28they they they did what they should do that's what i don't know what to make of it when a
03:32guy
03:32robert henry has a big day like again nice story but he's probably not gonna be on the active roster
03:39yeah earns up a job on the 70 maybe but our guy warren sharp was impressed by katron allen because
03:44he had zero negative yard rushes i think that's his thing he's just a power back gonna lean forward
03:51and get you a couple yards he became the only running back that has 20 plus rushes in a preseason
03:56game and not lose any yardage on a single rush in the last decade yeah he's got he's a guy's
04:01got a
04:01nose for the end zone so if you're close in short yard situation he's gonna find a way to get
04:05it in
04:05there so yeah a reliable piece did you have any other big takeaways watching it when there's such
04:11scrubs i actually felt bad for heli and riggins and it's almost like when you get to the end of
04:19those games it's almost like you just got to create conversations you're not even paying any attention
04:24to the game you gotta dig deep right you gotta dig deep oh we got terry mcclorn on the sideline
04:28let's
04:28interview him sure of course you're kicking it down to the sideline but you know what it's with the
04:32quickness you can't take much from it especially when the starters don't play but at least we know
04:37it's we're getting closer this way we're getting closer oh yeah one of the highlights according to
04:41dq was how the backup quarterbacks managed the end of the second quarter and the end of the game
04:48situations right so in other words how they just kept the clock moving to handle the last three
04:53minutes it didn't turn the ball over to the other team although hartman did turn the ball over
05:00that's what he does well let's just call it what it is he's jayden daniel's buddy put him on the
05:07offensive staff make him a quality he's gotta be a future whatever it is qb coach right that's fine
05:12probably let's end this charade that he's ever going to play in the nfl as you know and ever
05:17going to get a start at quarterback it's absurd i don't know who thinks he's going to get a start
05:23who thinks he's going to get a start he's a he's a time killer he's yeah i mean like last
05:28year when
05:29they needed a starter they went to jeff driscoll right yeah they went outside of the building yeah
05:33like this is not your guy he he knows the system he can kill he can kill some quarters in
05:39the preseason
05:39where you don't want to start jayden that's that's why he's there and he's jayden's buddy it's amazing
05:44i was probably blouse buddy too yeah when we go through some of the games at 745 and the junkies
05:50blitz
05:51it's amazing to see some of the names that are still in the league case keenum is still a guy's
05:56a survivor right but he's had success he's had some success but primarily been a backup for sure
06:01but he's had success so if you prove amazing how long he's been in the league you can you can
06:06last
06:0610 15 years you know you have a couple days how much money he's earned i think case keenum came
06:11in
06:11in a preseason game was like nine for ten yeah yeah because he knows what he's doing right here's why
06:17he's doing it because he's earned 57 million dollars in his career of course and he'll probably
06:23play for three or four more years yeah it depends on how old he is how old is he i
06:27mean he is he's 38
06:28oh so he's older than i thought yeah he's coming this is a year or two more in the end
06:32he'll play
06:33till he's 40 he'll play till they tell him to not play anymore yeah because he's not risking his body
06:39he's just going out there and throwing a ball around to his buddies and collecting a fat check
06:44two two year five and a half million dollar contract with chicago in 2026 and sam hartman's
06:50trying to do the same thing of course just stay in the league he knows somehow by now sam hartman
06:55knows he knows because we know if we know he knows case keen has been in the league since 2012
06:59yeah okay like sam hartman is not going to be in the league past 2026 training camp i thought they
07:07were going to cut him last year i was stunned they held on you think he's going to latch on
07:10with
07:11another team no probably not but he might i see coaching in his future he's a pretty boy
07:17he'd be a nice he'll look good on the sideline and maybe he's maybe he's some offensive wizard
07:22and he can someday be the next hot young coordinator sure or or maybe do tv yeah yeah or go
07:29model
07:30underwear or something could you gather anything fan so valdez can uh or could you gather anything
07:34from the new offense the david blau offense i don't think they show you much you really couldn't
07:40yeah i mean i guess i understand her they're not going to show you much yeah specific it's
07:44going to be very blah that's why gotta wait to the regular season blah that's why you gotta
07:49wait to the regular season i know everyone clamors for these preseason games but it's just
07:53you just gotta gotta grit your teeth get through it try to enjoy it for what it is it's football
07:58uniforms look good uniforms are great that might have been that might have been what won the day
08:01best takeaway it was good scene might have been what won it was good seeing heli up there in the
08:05booth yeah of course he's a great guy well i think they are inching towards bringing redskins
08:11back i don't think they ever will i don't think they added um they brought braves on the warpath
08:16back during the song they're gonna bring back as much as they can yeah as much as they feel like
08:20they can get away with yeah which i'm i'm i'm here for it'd be great if they could but i
08:25just think
08:26it's a pipe dream but you know get back to me in 10 years what were they singing instead of
08:31braves on the warpath at that part of the song something i can't remember something commanders
08:35related that was terrible the commanders on the warpath no no i don't think they were saying
08:40warpath were they no they weren't they dropped that line entirely i'm pretty sure yeah i can't
08:45remember our commanders fight for our commanders which should be shot straight directly our commanders
08:52come on it's so bad but really the the bit the biggest story is the mariota injury not that it's
09:00particularly devastating it's right it's a sprained mcl but i don't believe he'll be back before week
09:06one and then now suddenly you know playing jayden even just for a little bit is questionable because
09:12if jayden got hurt god forbid uh you'd be down to your third quarterback and we actually don't even
09:17really have a third quarterback the other guys are just right you wouldn't even watch the games
09:21yeah so it was a big story it was number one store top story on espn.com it was the
09:26biggest takeaway
09:27i think from the game i couldn't believe it that it was the top story that's because your espn.com
09:34is catered to what you're looking at so the commanders thing popped up up top okay it was still
09:39up there i was shocked yeah there's a backup quarterback getting hurt yeah well and he's
09:43out for a couple weeks yeah so hey they got a win for what it's worth worth nothing to seven
09:51win
09:51means nothing oh the kickers we had a doink yeah we had a doink all right yeah but that's still
09:58not
09:58great it's a doink but i think it was on a shorty it was but i think he's been missing
10:03left right so
10:04clearly maybe overcompensating because that one went right uh yeah just what was that his job is
10:11very tenuous it was a 29 yarder wasn't it yeah i mean it's not a confidence booster is the reason
10:17i
10:17bring it up hey stevens at the 41 both of them hit their field goals moody one for one with
10:23the 29
10:23yarder and stevens one for one with the 41 yarder i hope they both made their extra points personally
10:29i hope that and i'm sure this is the case that moody is renting in ashburn and didn't buy property
10:36in
10:36i think most kickers i think most of them are they're on a month-to-month year-to-year basis
10:41they're not stupid they know the business they know the business i think the other thing i said
10:45three turnovers i think you know that's obviously going to be a point of emphasis it doesn't really
10:50mean anything but hey at least in the preseason some backups uh you know for some turnovers for some
10:56turnovers a couple of them were gifts but whatever that happened yeah it happened so that that's a
11:03good thing uh backup running backs that you talked about that's about it you know johnny newton didn't
11:11pop no you know guys who had opportunities who we do know but yep preseason underway we're going to
11:20talk to chris russell later in the program coming up at 8 25 get his take commanders do get that
11:26win
11:2620 to 7 over the miami dolphins but man it was a lot of guys that are not going to
11:32be playing
11:33on sunday in a month yeah we'll see if that changes on the field on saturday by the way noon
11:37kick on
11:38saturday early at detroit at detroit but we'll be cakes eb and i are going to be doing this
11:44our heads are going to be flying as oh my god that's right the is it indy cars grand prix
11:51cars i think
11:52it's not formula one i think it's indy grand prix yeah i think it's indy cars i think that's right
11:58i don't know much about real racing just so you know i think it's gonna be cool where's bender
12:03when we need him it's gonna be fun i think it's gonna be cool it's gonna be a new experience
12:07i
12:07can tell you that that's very inside is when we went to richmond bender is a guy who used to
12:13send
12:13us weekly emails about open my daughter 20 years ago my daughter sent me a text saying dad can you
12:19get those tickets for the grand prix grand prix yeah i said i kind of told him no
12:26um she wants to bring her boyfriend and her boyfriend's dad her boyfriend's dad apparently
12:31is a huge f1 fan are you afraid to ask because they're gonna want you to come
12:36i always hate asking for other people i'm not going to be honest with you i'm not going yeah so
12:41are you gonna hit him up and ask for someone else i always hate doing that you're gonna burn that
12:45looks bad yeah it's a bad look doesn't that look bad it's not the great my son asked me
12:49yesterday he said hey do you we actually don't really have he said yeah he said me and keen and
12:54his roommate we want to take our girlfriends we want to go to the seahawks commanders game can you
12:58get us tickets yeah and i said actually it's like the one team yeah really can't get you tickets for
13:03yeah we don't really have a connection so i'm probably not gonna ask yeah kind of have a connection
13:08you could work it it's not a guarantee the part of is i listen i know i could work it
13:13there's a
13:14couple things but then when it's not for you yeah can you get me four for my son yeah i
13:19just
13:20right it's harder it is like for an ass game no problem you want to go i get you four
13:24no no problem i don't play and those situations can also fracture relationships which we learned
13:29with the homies years and years ago when they were representing us yeah in london for an hbo trip
13:35yeah you gotta sit down with people like you can't act like an idiot if i don't ruin our hook
13:41job
13:41yeah exactly yeah all right when we come back let's dive into sunny styles in particular because
13:48that was the one guy who did start and the first drive miami shoves it on him what was your
13:56takeaway
