00:00I just, I don't know how much we need to determine, I don't know how much we need to even
00:05attempt to extrapolate that Robert Henry ran it four times for minus three yards and fumbled a kickoff.
00:12Like, I think in two weeks, that will be deemed completely irrelevant.
00:17Yeah, I think all of it is going to be irrelevant in two weeks.
00:19I think the center situation is undeniably relevant.
00:24Dan Quinn, his most honest comments about the center situation to date in the postgame, he was asked about the
00:32offensive line.
00:33He said, you know, I really like what Cosby's doing.
00:36I feel like he's been our best lineman.
00:37I've been pretty impressed by Brandon Coleman at left tackle.
00:40I thought all that was fair and accurate.
00:43But the first, I'd say, really honest commentary from DQ specific to the center situation.
00:50We've got work to do to figure out where we want to go at center.
00:54Yeah.
00:55That's a quote.
00:56Now, where they want to go is for Nick Allegretti to be out there healthy today.
01:00Totally.
01:01And they have to be, it's a two-fold answer for them at center.
01:06One, you need Allegretti to be healthy.
01:08You need him to be able to stay on the field, which through camp has not happened, period.
01:13Two, you need Allegretti to be the guy they claim he's going to be.
01:17So, it's like, it's not just step one, it's step one and two for their decision-making process to not
01:23look flawed at the center position.
01:25I still maintain, I expect them to add a veteran at that position or someone that has interior offensive line
01:34versatility, can play guard and center.
01:36I still expect that to happen by this time next week.
01:40Roster cuts are due Sunday afternoon.
01:42That's when all the players will hit the wire.
01:44Like, they can make adjustments then.
01:47This is hardly a finished product.
01:49But if you're concerned about the offensive line with the center position, that's real.
01:54On the first play of that game, Julian Good-Jones got a stunt, was not prepared for it.
02:01Pressure was immediately there.
02:02Jaden made a good play to throw it away.
02:06If there's any highlight of Jaden's three snaps, it's that he didn't try to hold onto the ball and make
02:11a play, and he basically just killed it at Jig's feet.
02:14That was the right decision.
02:15Smart.
02:15I think extrapolating a whole lot else from that game, particularly Sonny Stiles' stuff, is asinine.
02:25Sonny Stiles is a traditional linebacker.
02:28Like, traditional linebackers kind of make their plays over the course of a game.
02:33Yeah.
02:34Josh Dobbs had one great touchdown run.
02:37And that touchdown run was not because of Sonny Stiles.
02:40He was part of a number of people that screwed up.
02:43The DN has to stay home on that play.
02:46Will Harris can't get sucked up that far.
02:49There's a number of people that messed up.
02:51Sonny's part of it.
02:52If the DN stays home, that play's dead.
02:56Immediately.
02:57And he didn't.
03:01I thought it was 48.
03:02I'm going to go back a little bit.
03:03That's Joseph.
03:03He was past the damn center.
03:06If I'm running the option route and you're past the center, I'm smiling all day.
03:11You know, because as soon as he rode it, he was gone.
03:15If he just stays there, Dobbs is going to try and do something else.
03:18He's not trying to run the ball.
03:20You know, and that's not on Sonny.
03:23Sonny was out of position, but so was half the defense.
03:27Like, they got caught up.
03:28They bit on the run fake.
03:29Like, if you are, I can't stress enough.
03:33And I get, like, a lot of Washington players have become fodder for, specifically, this
03:41Polymarket football account.
03:44I don't understand.
03:47Polymarket, there's a real question here.
03:49White Bryant's my best bet.
03:51Does Polymarket football not have a deal with the NFL?
03:55Do these prediction markets not get deals with the leagues, like the traditional betting
04:00outlets, like FanDuel and DraftKings and all that?
04:03Yeah, I don't think there's any relationship there.
04:05Whoa!
04:06White Bryant, you sound terrible, dude.
04:09I had to cough, and I didn't clear my throat.
04:11You still sound terrible.
04:14Now, listen.
04:15Bryant and I have had some weekends, okay?
04:17We've had some weekends in our lives.
04:19But you, sir, we know you took another vacation.
04:22You were down at the beach for your fantasy draft, which somehow seems like it's like four
04:27days long, so good for you.
04:29Good luck selling that to Rose.
04:30That's my man.
04:31Yeah.
04:32You sound terrible.
04:33Did you injure yourself at all this weekend?
04:35No, I am 100% healthy.
04:37You don't sound it, bro.
04:38But I'm glad you're not physically injured.
04:42Polymarket football, I don't know.
04:44Maybe I'm giving too many people that are just out there for engagement credit.
04:48I know I did that over the weekend.
04:50By even acknowledging these accounts.
04:53That's why you got to stop acknowledging them.
04:55I mean this sincerely.
04:57If you're drawing conclusions on Sonny Stiles at this point, you're an idiot.
05:01Like, he, whether he's going to be the Sam or the Will might change depending on the
05:07setup, right?
05:09But it changes depending on what they call.
05:12But that's the fact.
05:13But, see, that's what I'm saying.
05:15Most of these idiots who's watching it don't know what the hell they're looking at.
05:18Sometimes he's at the mic or the Will or the mic, and sometimes he's not.
05:23He's on the other side because Chanel does some of the stuff.
05:26Chanel.
05:27So, what they have to understand is you don't always know where he's at.
05:32But what you want from Sonny Stiles this year is that position is not built on flash plays.
05:40And what people want to see in preseason where the guy plays 18 snaps or whatever, is like,
05:46oh, show me a flash, show me a flash.
05:48He's not a receiver.
05:49He's not a quarterback.
05:50He's not a running back.
05:51Like, Fred Warner's rookie year, played all 16 games, had 124 tackles.
05:58Like, you want maybe north of that, but you want durability, a guy that's there every week
06:03that's logging 11, 12 tackles a week.
06:06Like, that's what you're looking for from Stiles.
06:08And along the way, you want some passes knocked down.
06:11You want to force a fumble.
06:13But, like, that position is not built to wow you in a small sample.
06:18But, see, that's what people think.
06:20And that's what they're going to look for.
06:22And then you get social media, stupid media, I'm going to call it like that,
06:27you get that where all of a sudden everybody starts saying the same wrong, dumb stuff.
06:33So, when I said last week that Sonny made the quarterback come off of a pass down the middle
06:37because of his length, did anybody put that?
06:40No, because it's not juicy enough.
06:43But it's facts.
06:44But anything that seems like to be knocking somebody, putting somebody down,
06:50oh, that's going to get a lot of people hyped up about it.
06:52And we get guys who claim that they're Commander's fans, the main ones, putting it out.
06:58Because they don't care about what they're doing by trying to knock somebody
07:02and they don't know what he's doing.
07:03They just care about how many clips can they get on their account.
07:07And that's the problem with so much of this stuff.
07:09And it's gotten this point where some people even in the real media,
07:12they do a lot of that just to get clicks instead of talking about what's real and what's not.
07:17And they have the right to talk to everybody out here and find out exactly what's going on.
07:22So, listen, man, it troubles me because media has gotten to a point now where everybody's an expert.
07:30The center issue at this point is a legitimate, glaring concern.
07:35Good Jones is not the answer.
07:37I don't think they expect him to be.
07:40I think they think it's Alec Reddy.
07:41They expect him to be back at practice.
07:43They expect him to continue to be able to practice.
07:46Now, there's some pressure with that, undeniably.
07:49Like, he needs to prove, one, stay healthy, two, be the right guy.
07:53Be the answer there.
07:54Mm-hmm.
07:55But the people, the amount of people I have asking me to sign Taylor Decker,
08:01Coleman has, Cosby's been the best offensive lineman here without a doubt.
08:06Without a doubt.
08:07Cosby's looked quite good.
08:08Mm-hmm.
08:09I think Coleman's been your second best old lineman.
08:11He has.
08:12I think he's outperformed Connerly.
08:16So, my question marks aren't about, I honestly, losing Tunsell is a huge deal.
08:25He's arguably your best player, maybe your second best player, whatever that is.
08:28He's your highest paid player, I know that much.
08:30Losing him is a huge deal.
08:32I actually still kind of like the layered tackle depth.
08:35You've got Coleman and Connerly.
08:37You have Wiley and Trent Scott available.
08:39Like, for an NFL team where tackles are hard to find, like, I'm not mad at that position.
08:44On the interior, you need Chris Paul to have the relative productivity he had last year.
08:52I think you love Cosby.
08:54And so then it's the center position.
08:56And Goodjones is not the answer.
08:58I think the fact.
08:58Goodjones is not the answer, but I don't really think they expect him to be.
09:02I think what they're trying to do is find out what Goldman can do in other positions.
09:07In my eyes.
09:08So they can have him active.
09:09Goldman's number two at center right now.
09:11I agree.
09:11And if they had to go in the season, if they don't sign anybody else, he'll start.
09:14I agree.
09:15That's what I believe.
09:16And I think the thing of it, the main thing that we haven't discussed or said yet, no one is
09:22game planning for anything right now.
09:24And if you go out there and you game plan, you'll find out.
09:28They'll find out where we ain't running up the middle.
09:31We're running on the edges.
09:32We're doing different things.
09:33So until the game planning actually starts, they're finding out who can I trust to just whip somebody's ass when
09:42they have a chance.
09:42And Goodjones is not proving he can't.
09:45Phones are open.
09:46800-636-1067.
09:48800-636-1067.
09:50I'm going to start.
09:51Chris is in Hyattsville.
09:52What's up, Chris?
09:55What's up?
09:56How are you doing, guys?
09:56Good morning.
09:57Good morning, dude.
09:58Listen, I want to say something on behalf of all fans.
10:02We do not know what we are talking about, B-Mitch.
10:05I think football is the most watched and least understood sport in America, especially offensive line play.
10:13But they looked terrible the other day.
10:17And I want to ask you, in your opinion, and JP, too, was that a talent issue, an execution issue,
10:26or possibly a scheme issue?
10:27Why were they getting to Jaden so easily?
10:30And for that matter, the other QBs, too.
10:33What was going on there, in your opinion?
10:35The first two plays were blown assignments.
10:39Hands down.
10:39There was a stunt Goodjones couldn't handle, and then both your tight ends, Bates and Chig, just got beat.
10:44Yeah, you got blown assignments right there and getting whipped.
10:47And I don't believe that as you go through a season, you'll just keep doing it all the time.
10:53And they're also playing a guy where they're trying to get some work with him.
10:56And I don't believe that they feel he's the guy that's going to be there if we don't have Alan
11:02Grady there.
11:03Appreciate the call, Chris.
11:04Phone lines are open.
11:05It's B-Mitch and Finley on a Monday morning.
11:07The sky, to me, isn't falling, but to some it is.
11:11Let's talk.
