00:01feels like 2025 again doesn't it quarterbacks on the shelf with an injury don't know how long
00:07he'll be out the team is of course losing it's a devastating feeling it's not a good memory
00:14um to have but it is what it is and it's week two going to week three
00:26um you can win it in september if you sweep the month
00:31i want to see how the team evolves because i i i realize that you still have enough time to
00:38get
00:38to the ultimate goal the short term doesn't look good but there are reasons why and we just got
00:43to see if we can get some answers so that i don't have to come in here and ask you
00:47in a post game
00:48if certain starters actually played in the game you asked me a couple times a couple times i asked
00:54you certain individuals did they actually play in the game so without that and you always see it
01:00differently the second time you see it and i have to try to be mature because it is dallas it's
01:07dallas
01:07week to me and to see them clowns celebrating afterwards is why you want to bust their brains
01:16out they're having a party in the locker room now it's some kind of celebration they just got drug week
01:24one and then they and this is who they are and this is why it but it is what it
01:28is they earn the
01:29right it's a good thought doc and i want to cut you off we have breaking news from adam schefter
01:33commander's head coach dan quinn said that jayden daniels dislocated his left elbow and that he'll
01:38undergo additional testing on monday i want to go out to the phones and get some of the live
01:44well yeah but there's confirmation for you right there how devastating is it that jayden daniels is
01:52back on the shelf and the disaster that transpired at the end of that first half 800-636-1067 let's
02:11get
02:11really just tired honestly um i mean it's pretty devastating i mean i'm not the one to call for
02:17people's jobs and whatnot but i mean i really think we should consider dan quinn's job at this
02:24point i mean like let's be real it's the same exact situation in seattle you know what i'm saying like
02:32i just i really just don't understand like you know on a third and goal we got stuff twice
02:37just take the points just take the points we had the ball coming out the second half
02:44we had the momentum you have three seconds left i'm with you mike it's a great call and i appreciate
02:51you for chiming in we'll get to more 800-636-1067 that's the thing the word he brought up doc
02:57is is
02:58momentum yeah they had everything we had it dallas dallas looked like the team in trouble yeah in big
03:04trouble yeah the beauty about watching the game together is that there's nothing fake about the
03:13post game show we're not saying where we should know we saw in live time we're making decisions
03:17right this is not right wrong or indifferent it's not an opinion based on what other people said
03:22you said this in real time in real time and yeah and we thought the biggest disaster that could happen
03:28on that play is you come away with no points exactly we didn't even think of how much worse it
03:33could
03:33be no we didn't we just said we got to get oh some points because we'll get the we're going
03:37to get
03:38the ball back and it's clear now that we can play we're at the same level we're going to be
03:44better or
03:44not but at least we're not being outclassed we're not being bulldozer it's the the tough thing about
03:52this as well and the injury aside with daniels and the decision from quinn it's just it's another year
03:58you're in year three of this and it's it's a slow start for this team you could argue last week
04:03in
04:03philadelphia you played well enough to win the game but you left points on the table you made little
04:08mistakes you gave up the big plays because they didn't take these pre-season reps seriously it's
04:14now three straight years where you start slow and i know in 2024 they had a fast start record wise
04:19but
04:19you remember the first couple games they didn't look so great in tampa they didn't look great at home
04:23against new york when jaden got his first win they've they've put themselves in a hole they're
04:28oh and two i think the only team in washington franchise history that started the season oh and
04:33two and made the postseason was in 1984 i remember now you put yourself in a hole and the champs
04:40are
04:40coming to town next week doc they're without their quarterback but that doesn't that shouldn't scare
04:46you any less no no but we everybody has to be good at something we're still identifying what that
04:53is and that's the problem if we had a bell cow that's why i'm always saying give me a back
04:59between
04:59the tech between the guard i can neutralize everything it's like acid indigestion pepto bismo
05:04i can settle things down when i know i gotta i can get 3.5 i'm coming right at you
05:09we're more scat
05:11bat it you know we're we got to have a defined identity and live with it and we've got some
05:19guys now
05:19that can get first downs digs is a producer say i don't care what you say i know that i'll
05:26i'll bet
05:27on him on third down scary today was challenged more i've ever seen him challenged they we we got
05:34to have guys like they had two receivers well dag nabbit i thought we had two guys we could go
05:40to with
05:40the same ease that's what we have to be oh land held up well enough correct we had enough time
05:46to
05:46do everything that was needed we just didn't get the job done i want to get your thoughts on the
05:51running game overall between this dynamic bill and in rashad white because i'm watching white
05:57last week and he didn't look very good he looked slow he looked like he was a step behind i
06:02don't know
06:03if the injury stuff from the preseason was still nagging him but i was getting prepared to give him a
06:08gate ball the second quarter rashad white actually looked pretty good they were running the ball
06:11effectively on those drives and it set up them to pass the ball which they did well when jayden was
06:17in the game but it does what have you made of their their running attack overall you know i was
06:21a
06:21rodriguez guy i've said it up up close i know i want a bull in the backfield i don't do
06:25scat bats
06:27i like him i think bill's bill had some nice runs that's what they are they're nice i don't need
06:32nice i
06:33need ugly i need 3.5 running downhill so i my slobber knockers can come off the ball and we
06:40can
06:40create some havoc bully ball i'm not trying to finesse anybody i don't need a signal in i can
06:47tell you what we're going to do and that's the kind that's what i'm looking at our whole line
06:51wasn't the reason we didn't win we're the reason we got to make decisions that lend to our strengths
06:59and not be afraid to do the same thing over and over until somebody proves they can stop it
07:05it felt like we were heading that direction i felt that way and five let me tell you what i
07:09don't
07:09care what anybody says you may not like his perfume or not he's a rarity we're sitting there watching
07:17this going he's one of three people in the four people in the whole league that can do this to
07:23you
07:23i was texting my buddies doc and i said are you guys seeing this right now are you seeing this
07:31so i am yeah and when you have that now imagine with that in your back pocket now i just
07:38want to
07:38create diversion so you can't focus on that handing off running downhill where's the hitch game
07:46we got to get the ball in our hands of our receivers it doesn't have to be all the way
07:50down
07:50field scary was good scary's usually great he was really good we he's great we need him great
08:00you know diami popped up we got enough our receiver room i've liked it i like it all through our
08:05training
08:05camp we got a huge lean on it a little more absolutely want to keep the phone calls rolling
08:10let's get out to victor in maryland you're live on the fan what's up victor what's up y'all um
08:18doc
08:18you're the only one that calls me victor you're serving but good evening anyway um i'm gonna call
08:26it like i see it and and you know you can disagree fans can disagree um most of the people
08:32are calling
08:32their fans and not football people they're fans um dan quinn is is a above average coach um dan quinn
08:40does not hold the level of accountability and situation in football based on fundamentals and
08:46decision making that it needs to be dan quinn um i would even go as far as to say he's
08:51too nice
08:52uh you can see it and how uh the attention to detail the velocity uh the focus uh of
09:00players when we need them to do the right things to do winning and winning time um the three areas
09:08where this is apparent uh is in our defensive secondary um in his decision making the situational
09:15football and when the offense is under pressure you can tell these things were not handled correctly
09:24in the preseason obviously when we saw we were taking days off not practicing not getting reps
09:30because the situation of football when the rigorous football in second place has to be practiced the only
09:35way to get good at that play aggressively play physical play with sound decision making execution
09:40is when you practice that at a high level in our secondary mikey sanders still needs to be benched
09:47i do not i will not respect deronte jones as a defensive coordinator until he is benched
09:52i will not respect dan quinn as as a good football coach and i'm i'm doubling down on what i'm
09:58saying
09:58quickly with any film room with any football person in the league i will hold my own i will not
10:04respect him as a good football coach until he holds deronte jones accountable and says you need to
10:10bench him because he does not identify hips and coverage he does not get his head around and get
10:16in the bubble of a receiver to attack the football at his highest point he does not redirect receivers
10:21off the ball those are fundamental things that they teach in a line of football jv football and high
10:26school football dick i appreciate the call we got we got a bunch that we got to roll through here
10:29great call as always coach don't be playing victor is real but doc
10:34we ran into this issue last year and he's bringing up accountability and dan quinn with
10:39with joe witt jr last year did not give him the same level of accountability when he was struggling
10:45as a defensive coordinator no he took over himself he felt that was his dude so he filled in for
10:50him
10:50it took too long well absolutely they well they moved him to the field right like that was going
10:55to do something yeah last year but but here's the thing with mikey oh and i'll just i'll phrase it
11:01to
11:01you what's the matter with him and does he need to be benched
11:07if you're a regular listener then you'll know what my response is are you telling me the guy behind
11:13him is worse that's what you're telling me it's like you're afraid to play him i know you've got
11:19injuries i understand that you're in charge of personnel i don't want to hear it you had money
11:26you chose not to spend it so deal with the consequences and in this case it may very well
11:32cost you big time it's not my it's not my job to do yours we thought they'd get more pressure
11:41they
11:41have gotten more pressure on the quarterbacks this year they're doing a pretty decent job in that
11:46but as victor mentioned you can't look lost out there if somebody just beats you because they're
11:53physically more imposing we gotta deal with that it's called nfl both those kids in dallas who
11:59play wide receiver they make a ton of money for a reason right they're paid to beat people one-on
12:03-one
12:03and we couldn't match up with it one-on-one so we could have either blitzed more we could have
12:10rolled coverage over but the safeties needed more help that's theirs to figure out obviously they
12:17haven't and this is the third week we're going into now what is it going to happen they had a
12:22really
12:23hard time covering down the field when they needed to dallas was 7 11 7 of 11 on third down
12:28in this game and 7 11 always open yeah it's a good bit but you and i in real time
12:35as we're watching
12:35it saying it's always zero trailing always it keeps on happening every time that's the beauty we should
12:42be filmed watching the game because this is when it really comes up for real we're not doing a bit
12:47this is not a show this ain't big l i'm telling you straight up you're not the entertainer i'm not
12:51the
12:51i'm not trying to be entertaining i'm trying to be factual in that if the people behind the people
12:57that are playing are worse we're in trouble that's a personnel problem i i beat this drum the whole
13:03preseason saying if there's anything that's the biggest achilles heel this team i don't even think
13:07it's the offensive line i think it's the secondary and amos's injury factors to that yes because at
13:13that time he they were unsure of what his status was going to be for camp little did we know
13:18he'd come
13:18back and he'd be put on the ir before the season right you thought he was going to be available
13:23week one yeah we thought but it's an opportunity for someone else to step up and do a job or
13:29safety
13:30or the coverage when you go coordinator of you know new coordinator the pressure go back to philly
13:36i felt good in philly i felt like we got something that's different i like the way we're dictating
13:43tempo i don't know if i felt they dictated tempo to that degree with dak dak's a different animal
13:50dallas did what they do best to their level we didn't match it it just it felt like a vintage
13:55dak at home against washington performance exactly like most of them they put up on the screen
14:00first drive of the game for dallas in his career at home seven and make that eight no now against
14:06the
14:06commanders at home 20 touchdowns no picks and add four more touchdowns for dak today 24 touchdowns
14:12yeah no picks that's not on dan quinn there's a lot of people that come up in here so it's
14:19it's
14:19been on a lot of different people a lot of different people and what it's saying is that
14:24for maybe a decade we've been out drafted correct we've been out coached so you got to drag your
14:32program up you got to get it up to speed people are making a ton of money go earn it
14:37because right
14:39now this is unacceptable there's no reason for you to be oh and two that's on you you didn't play
14:45somebody that was insurmountably better than you than us correct we could have should have maybe
14:51whatever been in it to the fight to the end and guess what now you got the champs now you
14:56got the
14:56champions first home game of the season coming to play yeah champs are coming and you're going to
15:01yeah okay and you're not gonna have your quarterback that yeah makes that much worse i want to sneak in
15:04one more call here jamal in dc you're live on the fan hey what's going on guys how's it going
15:10oh man um so i mean great points have been made um doc one thing that you said about us
15:17being
15:18prepared i totally agree with that and like um if you if you look back to last week doc when
15:24stephan
15:25diggs got that penalty i i said you know what that is a sign of a ill-prepared team i
15:32cannot see
15:32that happening on a hardball coach team on a joe gibbs coach team because the standard is we don't
15:40do these things so before you even get to this week you see things like that and it's just like
15:45yo
15:46how do they truly respect this guy or do they like him and i know that dq is a player's
15:51coach but
15:52hey man i hate to beat on the drum like everybody else said but we might need to look at
15:55that man and
15:56unfortunately the negligent call again i don't dislike the call going for it just like the two-point
16:02conversion i didn't dislike that call i hate the play call though i don't like this i hate the
16:07play cause what i meant to say i don't like to just hate the decision but i hate the call
16:11gotcha but was the call bad the flare was there right he opted not to throw it before going back
16:18to his tight end take the flare it was right there so is it a bad play because the quarterback
16:25makes a bad decision i think that's what get lost it throughout this whole conversation let it get
16:31lost you can't get it can't get it let it be lost because we're talking about two people that we
16:38know
16:38have great skill sets they were talking about run he might get hurt when he was running when we could
16:43hardly breathe we were hyperventilating watching it it's almost like like the bear fan nation it must
16:48be watching right now when they see their guy going out there takes your breath away you go
16:54like baltimore when they're watching him it's like buffalo when they're watching they're going we have
17:00something kansas city this is joe burrow there's about nine of them and if you have one you feel
17:07like you have a chance on every possession that's how we felt watching this today i never thought we'd lose
17:14the game watching it not in the final first not in the front in the beginning a couple minutes of
17:19the first half not at all i thought we're gonna get this this is all right we can get this
17:22i said we
17:22can get this because the defense was cooperating but then again bingo 800
