00:00So going for the touchdown on third and goal from the one,
00:05three seconds left,
00:08I could understand either decision in that moment.
00:11You try to tie it up, and then you get the ball coming out of halftime,
00:14or you cut it to 17-13, and you get the ball coming out of halftime.
00:18I would not have blasted him for kicking.
00:24I'm not necessarily blasting him for going for it.
00:26I don't think there's a direct correlation,
00:28but obviously that is the play Jayden got hurt on.
00:32I want to see what people think out there.
00:35Jonesy is in D.C.
00:36Jonesy, what's up, bud?
00:39Driven to tears, driven to tears.
00:44That's what it was yesterday.
00:46Good morning, fellas.
00:49Unhappy miserable Monday.
00:51Check this out.
00:52I don't have a problem with the play call.
00:54However, the execution, I thought, was poor.
01:00How much was this team together in the training camps doing this?
01:06I mean, you know what I'm saying?
01:07Because my thing is, it only looks good when it works.
01:11But when it doesn't work, I mean, what can we say?
01:14I don't have a problem with the call.
01:17It's just the execution on it.
01:18So, that's it, man.
01:20So, hopefully, going forward, we can get this thing together.
01:24I do believe Jayden will be A-OK.
01:26You know, he'll come out of it all right.
01:28They just got to pretty much get it together.
01:31They still in, in my personal opinion, preseason form.
01:35They got to come out of this.
01:37But that defense got to get things right.
01:39Blown assignments can't be tolerated.
01:42It cannot.
01:43And that's what I keep seeing every time we go to Dallas.
01:47So, that's it.
01:49Have a good day, fellas.
01:51Appreciate you, Jonesy.
01:51And we're moving on to that.
01:53All right, brother.
01:54Thanks, bud.
01:54All right, Jonesy.
01:55We'll keep these calls going.
01:58Brandon is in Pennsylvania.
01:59Brandon, what's up, dude?
02:00What did you think about going for it?
02:02Third and goal from the one.
02:04Yeah, hey, guys.
02:05What's going on?
02:06So, yeah, I don't have a problem going there.
02:08I mean, you know, it's one of the things, hindsight's 20-20, it's football.
02:13You know, like he said, the execution maybe could have been a little better.
02:17You know, who's going to be able to predict, you know,
02:20your guard's going to step on your foot, trip your quarterback,
02:22and knock him out of the game.
02:23I mean, it is what it is.
02:25Stuff happens.
02:26Again, prayers for Jaden.
02:28He's our guy.
02:29I think, you know, whatever it takes to get him right,
02:32I hope that they pursue that.
02:34I know a lot of people may not want to hear this,
02:36but if that means surgery and the dude's done for the rest of the season,
02:40you know, I support that decision as long as it means Jaden comes back
02:43and he can ball for us and stay on the field and win us football games.
02:46So, you know, that's all I really have to say this morning.
02:50Hopefully we can come back stronger from this and look to next week.
02:54All right, man.
02:55Appreciate you, man.
02:55Appreciate you, bro.
02:56Yeah, I mean, that's my thing is there's a lot to be mad at from that game.
03:00And then there's obviously the Jaden injury,
03:02which is legit reason to be like super upset and disappointed
03:06and unsure about the future, right?
03:09Like he might come back and ball out.
03:11This might knock him out for two months.
03:13It could be Thanksgiving.
03:14We don't know anything, right?
03:16And we're not going to probably for a few days.
03:20But the way that happened, Chris Paul moves his right foot back
03:27and lands on Jaden's left foot and then he falls over,
03:30goes to support himself with his left elbow, his left arm,
03:33and it pops out of place.
03:34It's just like such a...
03:36No one, like the guy said, nobody can predict that whatsoever.
03:42Chris is in Duval.
03:45Chris, you down in Jacksonville?
03:47Yeah, man, I'm down here at Jacksonville supporting you guys.
03:51I appreciate the call and good morning to you both.
03:55Thanks, bud.
03:56I want to add that that football play, it happens all the time, right?
04:03It could have happened in the middle of a drive at any point in time.
04:06It just happened in a crucial moment.
04:08So the coach making that call, I support that.
04:13But I support everything that the coach has got going on.
04:17It's two games into the season.
04:19We're not, you know, we haven't lost our net just yet.
04:23And I don't see it happening.
04:25And I see the defense, yeah, they're struggling.
04:27But I did see some changes in the second half because they tightened up
04:31on that tight end scene, which has been a problem for us for the past two seasons.
04:37But when they did tighten up on a tight end scene, he threw the pass to the kids
04:44for the touchdown.
04:45So it was just like, well, damn if you do, damn if you don't.
04:47But outside of that, I have faith in the team and the coaches.
04:51And there's no need to panic right now.
04:53That's a mature approach, man.
04:55Research, Carl.
04:56We need more cars like that.
04:57I like maturity.
04:59I hear that.
05:00Where do you think – I don't care about power rankings.
05:04I don't care about any of that, right?
05:05But at 0-2, knowing Seattle's coming to town, knowing – what we know is that
05:12they got problems in their secondary, period.
05:15We don't know what's going to happen at the quarterback position.
05:17Marcus has been capable, certainly.
05:21Turnovers tend to happen when Marcus is on the field.
05:23You saw one yesterday.
05:24But the thing of it is that everybody else has to improve as well.
05:29I make a comment all the time.
05:31I'm sure people just dismiss it.
05:32But quarterback is the most dependent position in sports.
05:35And we think quarterbacks make everybody better.
05:38Yeah, if everybody else around them is better, they're going to look – he'll look better.
05:41They're going to look better.
05:42But everybody has to improve on this team.
05:45You know, on defense, if you've got linebackers in the right spot, maybe the quarterback
05:50is going to throw all the touchdowns at the tight ends.
05:52If you get the pass rush getting home, maybe they don't get a chance to wait for CD to get
05:57way down the field.
05:59Offensively, you know, if everybody's in the right spot, maybe the ball is out quick.
06:05You don't step on the quarterback foot.
06:06He doesn't trip up.
06:08So everybody has to get better.
06:10That's why, for me, yes, Jaden is the straw that's there to drink.
06:15But everybody else has got to be good, too.
06:17You know, all these guys are pros.
06:20And they've got to improve what they're doing.
06:21Or you're going to have problems if he comes back.
06:23He can be on point doing everything.
06:25He's not going to erase everybody's mistakes.
06:28Our boy Lowe's is in Severna Park.
06:31Lowe's, what's up, man?
06:33What's up, guys?
06:34Off today, so I'm glad I get to call you guys.
06:37It's just, you know, me, I love keeping receipts.
06:40And it's a curse, not a blessing, because I remember a lot of things.
06:45You know, I remember when you guys first had Mikey Sammer still on the, for the first
06:49time ever on air, saying that he was going to buy a house in the DMV because he knows what
06:54he's good for and he's going to be here for a long time.
06:56I don't see him being here for a long time, either.
06:58And it's not just him.
06:59I feel bad for De'Ami Brown, as well.
07:01He came back.
07:02He gave us one good season before he left.
07:05The man fumbled.
07:06That's money that you're fumbling.
07:07And then another thing, with Kroski and Mary not grabbing onto that ball, I don't know
07:11if it was Jaden Daniels just throwing it up high.
07:13He just couldn't get it.
07:14You know, it's just everything together.
07:16The defense, I think the only good thing that came out of this, red zone parking passes
07:21were $270.
07:23I just got one for $110 for next week's game.
07:27I'll be there.
07:28It's going to be hard.
07:29It's going to be hard.
07:30But look, it's only week two.
07:33It's going to be a long season, guys.
07:35If you're a fan, I bleed burgundy and gold.
07:38You're just going to have to ride it out.
07:40That's all I got to say, fellas.
07:42Stay blessed.
07:43Appreciate you, Los.
07:44That play looked like Bill was going for a handoff.
07:48It looked like he was expecting to come get a handoff, and then all of a sudden, the ball
07:51was tossed.
07:52It looked like it was a toss the whole time to me.
07:54It looked like a toss the whole time to me.
07:56I wonder if Bill was supposed to round that out more, and he kind of cut it up, and Jaden
08:01was tossed into a spot, and Bill was closer to him than he was.
08:04When you first looked.
08:04Because the toss was kind of high.
08:06It was right here.
08:07But at first, when it was being tossed, you could see him starting to move his hands like,
08:12I'm going to get a handoff.
08:15And the ball, all of a sudden, is tossed to you.
08:17So I don't know if he got confused on a play or what.
08:19I thought Rashad White looked much better yesterday than we saw week one.
08:23Yeah, Rashad looked damn good.
08:23He looked good.
08:26Our guy Jupe is on the line.
08:28Jupe in the DMWV.
08:29What's up, Jupe?
08:31What's going on, fellas?
08:32How y'all feeling?
08:33We good, man.
08:34I know how y'all feeling.
08:36We all suffering right now.
08:38Hey, listen.
08:38I was coming in this season.
08:40Like, I see a lot of fans thought that this was Super Bowl or bust.
08:46We're too new.
08:48And I've been saying it for years.
08:49When you've got to constantly reset your team with half a team with new players, you've got to rebuild that
08:56chemistry.
08:56And on top of that, new O.C., new D.C.
09:00So with that being said, offense, Hemity looks sharp.
09:04It's up until the injury.
09:06If you got brief with him going forward in that moment, you're tripping.
09:11I was screaming TD all day because our defense was not stopping Dowling.
09:16They damn near scored every single drive.
09:19So for us to get the opportunity to tie it up, they didn't get the ball in the second half,
09:24knowing how we was moving the ball, you're tripping.
09:28So offensively, Blau, I don't know if it's the spacing issues.
09:32I don't know what it is, but Blau got to get that offense figured out better.
09:36Defensively, we're stopping the run, but we're not stopping the pass.
09:40So, D.J., you've got to get that part figured out.
09:44This is the parts that's coming with new D.C. and O.C. that we've got to deal with, the
09:50bumps and bruises.
09:51Trying somebody isn't going to help anything.
09:53We're going to be in the same situation.
09:56Roll with what we've got, coach up these players, coach up everybody, and keep rebuilding.
10:02We're not going to get there year one, year two.
10:06We're finally in the rebuilding stage.
10:08We need to go ahead and roll with what we've got, that regardless if we're getting to the playoffs or
10:13not, you know, that means we get a first-round pick.
10:17Let's keep rebuilding this thing, staying young, staying fresh, and keep going forward from there.
10:23Because I want a consistent winner, not a one-year winner.
10:27That's all I got for y'all.
10:28All right, brother.
10:29Appreciate you, Duke.
10:30B., how big picture with Jaden, how worried are you that injuries are just a part of his game now?
10:38Now, listen, when I see the little freak accidents like that, that doesn't seem like a thing that happens totally
10:45in football.
10:46But the thing for me is, I watch how good he is.
10:49And as I say, improving stuff around him, then you don't have to do drastic measures.
10:56It makes things a little easier for that person to do it.
10:58And as you stated earlier, team construction, a roster bill.
11:05If this thing gets better and he's playing like he was playing, you don't have to put him into too
11:10many little situations where, you know, we're questioning things of that nature.
11:17But we stated it last year.
11:20No quarterback normally plays all 16 games.
11:23If he misses one or two a year, I think he'll be okay with that.
11:27Yeah.
11:27It happens up there in Baltimore every year.
11:30Yeah, I mean, lost in that is, I mean, the Ravens just lost to the Saints.
11:34You might have been right.
11:35You expected these Saints to be plucky.
11:38They are plucky, Brian.
11:39They look plucky.
11:40Let's go to Shane in Fairfax.
11:42Shane, what did you think of the play call?
11:44Going for it there.
11:45What's up, Paul?
11:47It's B. Mitch.
11:47How y'all doing today?
11:48We're good, man.
11:49Obviously.
11:50Hey, look, you got to go for it right there.
11:52You can't, you ain't stopped, you ain't stopped them all damn game.
11:55You're on the road.
11:56You need points.
11:57Like, Dak would have threw for a million yards if they just threw the ball every down.
12:02But here's the thing.
12:03Look, on J.D., everybody needs to get off of him.
12:06Look, freaks, that's what happens, right?
12:09It's part of the game injuries.
12:11I just feel bad for him and his family right now.
12:13You saw his face, how distraught it is.
12:16But here's the thing now.
12:17Now, is he going to be gun-shy every time he gets on that field?
12:20And I know everybody's like, everything's going to be okay, but he's got the talent, right?
12:26He's got the talent.
12:27But like you know, B. Mitch, availability is everything in this league.
12:31If you're not available for me, I can't use you.
12:33And I can't have a quarterback out there playing six, seven games a season knowing he's like a talent.
12:39Give me an average quarterback that I can at least get 16 games I love.
12:42Like, I'm not sold on him right now.
12:45I hate to say it right now, but it's where we're at with him right now, right?
12:51I can't trust him to stay healthy.
12:52He's got to put weight on.
12:54Like the last caller said, and like they were saying on Sunday Night Football, he's got to put weight on.
12:59He is very, very, very small, fragile young man playing at a high level football.
13:06That is insane.
13:08I don't think weight would have made a difference in that situation right there, man.
13:11Yeah, but if you look at him, B. Mitch.
13:13Look, I hear people saying that all the time.
13:15Gain how much weight?
13:17So everybody always says gain weight.
13:19Gain weight don't help your damn joints.
13:22So if he would have gained weight and it still happened, then what you say?
13:25Because like I said, if the quarterback is good enough, you wait around for him.
13:30It happens in Baltimore.
13:33It happens in damn Cincinnati.
13:34It ain't like you just get rid of him.
13:36So what I'm saying is this.
13:40He's got – look, it's a freak accident.
13:42What happened to him was 100% freak accident.
13:45That is something we cannot control, right?
13:47That's just part of it.
13:48But what we can control is him staying safe through in the pocket,
13:52him getting better coaches around him.
13:54I'm with the last caller.
13:55Dan Quinn is done.
13:57Like, this injury right now, I hate to say it, Dan Quinn knows it too.
14:01He is – I guarantee you by the eighth, ninth game, Dan Quinn will not be on his roster.
14:07I guarantee you that.
14:09I bet a sack on that right now.
14:11I mean, we'll see.
14:13They're 0-2 with two tough games coming there.
14:16I mean –
14:16Well, look at the Rose coming back, JP.
14:19Look, the Giants right now.
14:21Don't sleep on the Giants.
14:23We'll see you in the night.
14:24Appreciate the call, Shane.
14:25Specifically with the Dan Quinn's going to get canned, I don't think it was a self-preservation
14:30league move, but typically to fire a coach in season, you have someone on the roster
14:35you feel you can turn to, you've got two first-time coordinators.
14:40Like, if you had an experienced guy on this roster, on the coaching staff, maybe you could
14:44turn to them.
14:44Maybe you could turn to Izzo.
14:45He certainly has a ton of experience.
14:47I don't see that happening.
14:48I mean, barring – what are they going to go, 0-13, and then you just got to do something
14:52to satiate the fan base?
14:53I don't know.
14:54I think it's premature, but I also understand where fans are at that it feels like the season's
15:01over.
15:02Like, it's just – it's crazy because I think plenty of us thought 0-2 was a realistic
15:07thing.
15:08Yeah.
15:08Going on the road for two divisional games, but we said –
15:11They sure did.
15:12Some of it is how you lose.
15:13And we're there now, but the whole thing about it for me is I still think you improve this
15:20thing, you can still win football games.
15:23Adrian is in Burke.
15:24Adrian, what's up, dude?
15:26Hey, good morning, gentlemen.
15:27I appreciate you taking the call.
15:30So, a few things.
15:32One, I'm happy they went for it on third down and won right before halftime to try and get
15:36seven.
15:36So, on the road, you know, starting to play like we did two years ago.
15:40We're going for it all the time on fourth down.
15:42So, I was happy with that call.
15:45For J.D., I think people need to stop feeling sorry for themselves.
15:49D. Mitch has hit some great points.
15:50He is that good, and we will keep him, and we're going to work to get him better.
15:53But, you know, we do have a locker room full of pros.
15:57I think Marcus Mariota can win games.
15:58I think we got to figure out how we stop playing from behind.
16:02I think we got to get things sorted out on the defense.
16:05The secondary is not helping us.
16:10You know, they're not able to lock down zones at a minimum.
16:14I mean, but bottom line, I think, you know, we need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves.
16:20I think, you know, it was very predictable that we start 0-2.
16:24I think we finish or figure out how we, you know, we get to a winning season.
16:28I don't think Dan Quinn, I mean, I think he's got things to worry about.
16:32I don't think his job's on the line right now, nor it should be.
16:35I am curious about Adam Peterson and why we didn't do more to help the secondary in our defense in
16:40the offseason.
16:41I think that was obvious, and, you know, that's where my curiosity is right now.
16:45But, you know, as far as the team goes, I think we got to figure out how we rally.
16:50A long-time Commanders, Redskins fan.
16:52Again, I'm about, you know, wins and losses, and we're 0-2 right now.
16:56I'd like us to get to a winning season and see how things shape up.
17:00And I hope J.D. gets better fast.
17:02I know we will.
17:03I know he's going to work hard.
17:04But, you know, I think we need to focus on how we stop, you know, start or stop playing from
17:09behind
17:09and, you know, manage the game and start getting after some wins.
17:14So, I appreciate the call, guys.
17:16Thanks, man.
17:16That was a very reasoned call.
