00:00I mean, we did this last week.
00:00Are we moving?
00:01I know, but it was frozen for a minute.
00:05I like this.
00:06We did this last week.
00:08It's called Call Your Shot Thursday.
00:10Who do you think could have a big game?
00:11Who do you think could give them a chance to beat Seattle?
00:15And I think, you know, one thing that's pretty interesting,
00:17I actually saw this on Twitter earlier in the week.
00:21I think I retweeted it.
00:22Scott Turner's friend of the program.
00:24Hell, B, you've known him since he was a kid.
00:26Yeah.
00:26Yeah, tied him up and threw him in a laundry pair and put water on him.
00:32Turner was obviously the O.C. here for a period of time,
00:36was the O.C. in Vegas for a period of time, a kid that grew up in football.
00:43And Scott Turner went out of his way on social to kind of say,
00:47listen, man, Terry's still an elite player.
00:49He just hasn't had the looks yet.
00:51But you know a guy that could – yeah, here's –
00:55Scott Turner came out and said,
00:56Commanders fans, don't worry.
00:57Terry is still performing at a high level, and the production will come.
01:00So I find that pretty interesting.
01:03And I think for everybody that's freaked out about this game,
01:07if we're doing Call Your Shot Thursday, I think –
01:09I'll call my shot.
01:11McLaurin has to have a big game.
01:13They need him to break out in a way.
01:16And that hasn't happened yet.
01:18Diggs has been their leading receiver through two games,
01:20and I think Steph helps you.
01:21But Steph's not going to help you with explosives down the field.
01:24I hope the Seattle Seahawks are thinking like most fans think
01:29and feel like we can go just do it one-on-one
01:31and don't have to worry about the cloud and all that type of stuff.
01:34Because I think Antonio has shown capable enough.
01:37Steph has always been like that.
01:39And now you go out there and you try to check those three dudes one-on-one
01:42and see what happens.
01:45Yeah, I mean, we'll see.
01:46I think with Seattle, the concern is the pass rush
01:50and Marcus trying to, you know, chuck it, make plays.
01:54So my guy is going to be – I go with that then.
01:57I'm going to go with White, Rashad White.
02:01Why?
02:02Because we saw how he can run the ball.
02:05He's very effective in the pass game.
02:09I believe you're saying the offensive line has to be good.
02:14Him with his blocking ability, chipping, before he gets out
02:17is going to allow him to be able to help
02:19and also be like an insurance policy for him, for the quarterback.
02:25Phone lines are open, 800-636-1067, 800-636-1067.
02:31Call your shot Thursday.
02:32Who needs to have a huge game for the Commanders
02:35to pull off a big-time upset win over the Seattle Seahawks?
02:39I mean, nobody has Washington winning this week.
02:41Let's do a Calci trending bet right now.
02:45I don't really know what that means.
02:46Well, I'm just going to say most of the calls are going to trend towards the defense,
02:50somebody on the defense.
02:51Sure.
02:52I mean, I think that might make sense.
02:53800-636-1067.
02:56Beamish and I are calling our shot.
02:57I think you need Terry McLaurin to break out.
02:59I think let him make a big catch down the side of the field, contested catch,
03:04go up and high point that thing, score a big touchdown.
03:07Like, you need Terry to show his explosiveness.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Four catches, 111 yards, and a touchdown.
03:13Like, you need a breakout.
03:16He'll take that.
03:16I'll show it, take it, too.
03:18Let's go to Brian in Georgetown.
03:20Brian, call your shot, man.
03:22Marcus Mariota.
03:25I know that's not the famous one or popular one,
03:29but I go by what the good old ball coach, Dick Ramil, once said with Kurt Warner.
03:34We're going to rally behind Kurt Warner.
03:36We're going to play good football.
03:37Shame this one happened with Marcus Mariota.
03:39He handles the ball.
03:41So, if he plays well, Terry plays well.
03:44Terry plays well.
03:45Dick plays well.
03:46It comes to the guy that handles the ball.
03:48All right, man.
03:49That's not a bad call, dude.
03:50That's a good call.
03:50You obviously need Marcus to be really good if you're going to beat Seattle.
03:54Seattle's an excellent team.
03:55They present a lot of problems.
03:58800-636-1067.
04:01Call your shot.
04:02My guy Shane is in Tennessee.
04:03What's up, Shane?
04:05What's up, JP?
04:06All ears.
04:07What's up, B. Mitch?
04:07Go balls, baby.
04:09What's up, man?
04:10Hey, look.
04:11I got a question for you, JP, B. Mitch.
04:13All right.
04:13When we pick in the top five next year, which I got a feeling we're going to,
04:17this is played by what ifs, right?
04:19And you got Arch Mangy out there, and you got Smith out there from Ohio State.
04:23What are you going to do?
04:24And David Blau is the one that's got to step up.
04:26It ain't the player.
04:27It's Blau.
04:28He's got to call them.
04:29He's got to get our players involved, right?
04:31So he's the one that's got to step up.
04:34But my question comes back to you.
04:35If we're picking in that top five, what are you going to do?
04:38Shane, you listen to this show every day,
04:40and you know I'm not going to dig into no damn draft right now.
04:44I know you're not.
04:44That's why it's JP.
04:44That's why it's JP, B. Mitch.
04:46It's too early, Shane.
04:47Shane, it's week three.
04:50It is.
04:51It is really too early.
04:52Look at last year, JP.
04:54Look at it like we cannot sit there and say we can trust.
04:57Shane, Shane, call us back in about eight weeks, eight, nine weeks,
05:02and we're doing stuff.
05:02We'll discuss that with you.
05:06Honestly, if they are, I don't even want to dive into it.
05:11Because I've made my point clear.
05:13The level of play we saw from Jaden Daniels in 2024 is so hard to achieve.
05:18And if people are like, yo, what's my man's name from Oregon?
05:22Dante Moore.
05:22What if he could be that guy?
05:23How many guys have been drafted that aren't that guy?
05:26But my gut right now, and this is probably unpopular with some folks,
05:31is if Washington does have a top five pick,
05:35because you're going to offer Jaden the fifth year extension on his rookie deal,
05:42you're going to do that no matter what, I promise you.
05:44Like, take the kid Jeremiah Smith out of Ohio State,
05:48who looks like a true all-world number one wide receiver.
05:51Wide receiver, yeah.
05:52Like, that is where my brain is.
05:54And I know people are going to be like, oh,
05:55this is the all-time quarterback draft class.
05:58This stuff changes every year.
06:00You know how many times I've heard this is the all-time quarterback draft class,
06:03and it ends up not being?
06:05That is why people still say the John Elway draft
06:08is probably the best draft class to ever come out.
06:11How long ago was that?
06:13I was still in damn college.
06:1483, I think.
06:15So, for everyone to think that that is just something that's going to happen,
06:19people talk a lot.
06:20It happening is a totally different thing.
06:22I think you're right, though.
06:24I think there is a time where that becomes a reasonable conversation,
06:27but I think it's around Thanksgiving.
06:30You know what I mean?
06:31Like, let's see what happens between now and then.
06:33But if there is a – if you're talking a top-ten pick
06:38and a kid like Jeremiah Smith or Cam Coleman,
06:42dude, if Arch Manning's last name was Billings,
06:46if he was Arch Billings, like, I mean, do people watch?
06:49He looked really good in the second half against Ohio State.
06:53But there's been plenty of kind of duds out there, too.
06:56Yeah.
06:57But they don't see that, though.
06:58It's just – it's too early for all this stuff.
07:00They don't see all that.
07:00It's too early for all that stuff.
07:03Let's go to Harold in D.C.
07:04What's up, Harold?
07:06Come on, JP.
07:08It's out there, baby.
07:09What's up, brother?
07:11Let me – I'm going to put it on special teams.
07:14Man, special teams need to make a game change and play, hopefully score.
07:17And I say, feature Bill.
07:19Put the ball in Bill's hands.
07:20And if you hold on to it, you've got momentum going forward
07:23and you get to at least establish an identity without the agent.
07:27All right, man.
07:28Yeah.
07:29I'm with you on that special teams thing.
07:31Listen, I love the pieces we have,
07:35but I need the pieces we have to begin to make plays.
07:41You've got to – like, special teams is just not a throwaway in my eyes.
07:45They have to have a mindset that we are going to make a play
07:49that makes a difference.
07:51Whether it's a big field goal, a big – like, pinning them back.
07:56Tress does an amazing job of that.
07:58Knock into somebody, hit them and knock the ball out,
08:00or hit them and get some greater momentum,
08:02or just return the hell out of a ball.
08:04Or not going backwards.
08:06The kickoff returns at Dallas were a problem.
08:08They can't afford that against Seattle.
08:10You can't have things go bad on special teams.
08:14You'd love a breakthrough.
08:15Isn't that a little new ceiling?
08:16See, I don't know when I ran out of touchdown last year.
08:19I believe Rasheed Shaheed's who you're talking about.
08:21I believe he's still there.
08:23Phone lines are open, 800-636-1067.
08:27Call your shot.
08:28Deacon is in D.C.
08:29What's up, Deacon?
08:31Hey, what's going on, guys?
08:32Good morning.
08:33Good morning, Watson, in D.C.
08:36Yeah.
08:37So, I'm looking at Josh Connolly, Jr.
08:44He's, man, he was afraid to block that Dallas guy last week.
08:49And he's blocking with his hands out in front of him
08:52instead of coming up under the pads and moving his man off of his square.
08:57You know, you're a defensive tackle.
09:00You're about three-something, man.
09:02You're supposed to be able to do something.
09:04You know what I mean?
09:05I mean, I know the other guy is big, too.
09:07But, listen, we're paying you big bucks.
09:10We're paying you the big bucks to hold that position down.
09:13I just didn't see him putting his backside into any of those blocks
09:19against Dallas last week.
09:20Josh Connolly, Jr., you need to have a better game, baby.
09:24All right.
09:25All right, man.
09:25Cool.
09:26I mean, I think the whole offensive line is really going to be –
09:28it's going to be a tough task this week because I believe –
09:31I don't see Cosby playing.
09:33Yesterday, they were putting Allegretti at guard,
09:36and the guy that just signed, Lucas Patrick, at center.
09:39At center?
09:40Okay.
09:40Now, Patrick's a guy that's done it for a lot of years in the NFL.
09:44I also think, kind of looking at hindsight now,
09:47they always plan on signing Lucas Patrick.
09:50They just wait until after week one.
09:52I think there's a real discussion on should that have been the plan
09:56at the center position that had so many questions to wait like that.
10:00But that's what they did, and that's where they've arrived.
10:03But it's – I don't know.
10:06It's going to be very, very interesting to see what this offensive line looks like,
10:09and you're going to need people to perform at a high level.
10:12Let's go to Rolo in Suitland.
10:14What's up, Rolo?
10:17What's going on, guys?
10:18Thanks for taking my call.
10:20But I'm calling my shot, though.
10:22I think this week David Blau is going to prove why we hired him
10:27to be the offensive coordinator.
10:29It'll look a little different with Marcus in there,
10:31so I think they're going to – as professionals,
10:33they're going to prepare themselves.
10:34They're coming home, home opener.
10:36They know what happened the last time the Seahawks came here.
10:38I think we see an offensive explosion.
10:41I would also like to see Patron get the ball, at least in the first half.
10:46It seems like they always wait for him until the second half
10:49and start feeding him the rock, and he's moving the ball.
10:53But, yeah, but that's my shot.
10:54You know, David Blau is going to show us something this week.
10:58I like it.
10:59Call your shot, brother.
11:02Again, entirely premature, and everybody's going to talk about quarterbacks,
11:05but I did just randomly go to Tankathon and look at next year's NFL draft.
11:09They have Jeremiah Smith going number one overall.
11:12I mean, that's –
11:13Well, how tall is he?
11:156'4", 220.
11:16How fast is he?
11:17I mean, he's the –
11:18Doesn't he look the part – he's been looking the part since he stepped up.
11:20Since he was a freshman.
11:21Yeah.
11:22And, dude, listen to this.
11:23Everybody's going to talk about Arch.
11:25We'll see.
11:26I mean, he certainly has the pedigree.
11:28I think in Texas it hasn't looked that good in his time,
11:31but that doesn't mean it can't get better.
11:33Like, who knows?
11:33Are you aware of Darian Mensah's numbers at Miami?
11:37Darian Mensah is a bad dude.
11:40But I'm hiding my computer so you can't look.
11:44Do you know what his completion percentage is through three games?
11:48About 81.
11:4990.
11:5090.
11:5189.9.
11:51I'm going to tell you, the two quarterbacks I'm looking at right now,
11:54the people that I'm looking at are Mensah and Trinidad.
11:59Trinidad's small.
12:00He's small, but the dude –
12:03He's a gamer.
12:04As long as the quarterback in Carolina is in the league, don't tell me nobody's small.
12:10I hear you.
12:11He's the smallest dude in the league.
12:13I like the guy Carr at Notre Dame too.
12:15I mean, Trinidad has made big plays in huge –
12:17How tall is Trinidad?
12:18They list him at six foot.
12:21And Bryce Young is 5'10".
12:23Sure.
12:23Bryce Young's been great this year.
12:24I mean, I stood next to Bryce Young.
12:26I'm going to say, who is this little kid?
12:27I say, that's Bryce Young.
12:29He is miniature.
12:31Yeah.
12:32And I know champion's bigger than him.
12:35The dude that stood out the most for me early is Mensah.
12:38You've also got Dante Moore, the lefty out of Oregon.
12:41That just hasn't looked that clean yet, the Oregon operation,
12:44but there's a lot of football left.
12:46Our guy Nick is in Welcome, Maryland.
12:49Nick, call your shot.
12:50Who needs a big game this weekend?
12:52All right, D-Mitch, go easy on me, man.
12:54Here's the deal.
12:55There you go.
12:56He gets dinged up.
12:58We put him in the concession.
13:01And the Greek, Caliphalacus comes in,
13:04and that's the rest of the story until you know who gets healthy,
13:08and that's where we're going with it.
13:09What's his name?
13:12Caliphalacus is the Greek.
13:14Caliphalacus.
13:16Okay.
13:18Hey, listen.
13:19Listen, Nick, you're allowed to – it's your shot.
13:22You can call it.
13:23Hey, hey, Nick, I'm letting you – that's all I'm going to do.
13:25I'm just going to give you the correct pronunciation and let you slide.
13:28I'm good.
13:29Thank you, brother.
13:30Here's the other show, man.
13:31I called in the other show that comes on after you guys.
13:34I'm starting to forget stuff, man.
13:35I didn't know.
13:37I predicted the flea flicker,
13:40but I predicted the touchdown off of it on the first game.
13:44And I'm telling you, I got a gut feeling about this.
13:48I mean, I don't know.
13:49I hope he doesn't get hurt bad, but –
13:51All right, Nick.
13:52I appreciate you, brother.
13:53All right.
13:54Thank you, man.
13:56Caliphalacus.
13:56I appreciate it, man.
13:59Let's get a couple more for calling –
14:00The Greek freak.
14:01The Greek freak.
14:01Call your shot.
14:02Juan is in Fairfax.
14:03What's up, Juan?
14:05What's going on, gentlemen?
14:06How y'all doing?
14:07We're good, buddy.
14:08How are you?
14:10Well, I'm doing okay, but the only thing is,
14:12James Daniels got hurt.
14:14But I'm calling my shot.
14:16James Daniels got hurt, and I'm not really up to being excited,
14:20but, you know, it is what it is.
14:22But we're going to win Sunday.
14:23And the first guy to have a big game is going to be Terry McLaurin
14:25calling my shot.
14:27All right.
14:27And I'm going to the game Sunday.
14:29Cool, brother.
14:30And I'm going to the game Sunday.
14:31All right.
14:32Let's go.
14:32Enjoy the game, man.
14:33Enjoy the game.
14:35I'm surprised none of these callers have said anything about defensive
14:40players.
14:40I thought it was going to be heavy.
14:41We haven't got a single Sonny Stiles or Adopo away.
14:45Yeah, I did, too.
14:47But, hey, man, people get to call their shot.
14:49Let's go to Jonesy in D.C.
14:51What's up, Jonesy?
14:53What's going on, all of you?
14:54How are you feeling this morning?
14:55I'm feeling better than I have.
14:57I'm on the mend.
14:58He got some rest yesterday, Jonesy.
15:00He finally listened.
15:02He caught me sneaking a nap in.
15:04Hey, look, you're faking the funk.
15:06But that's cool.
15:07We good.
15:08We good.
15:08We good.
15:08How am I faking the funk?
15:10Hey, man, you sleeping on the job.
15:13He was off.
15:15While we were on the job.
15:16He was off.
15:16He was off.
15:17Yeah.
15:18He was off?
15:19But he needed it.
15:20He needed it.
15:20I told him, get it.
15:22I had to talk to him like my son yesterday.
15:27Oh, yeah.
15:28Hey, as a young man, you sonning him now?
15:30Okay.
15:31All right.
15:32Check this out.
15:33I'm going to say, I'm going with Durante Jones.
15:37I think I'm calling my shot.
15:40This dude is going to dial it up and come after Drew Locke.
15:44He's going to confuse him and get after this.
15:47We don't have to worry about the secondary because Durante Jones got this on that defensive line.
15:52He's going to get that defensive line right this week.
15:54We're going to go get it, fellas.
15:56All right, man.
15:57Hope you're right.
15:58All right, bro.
15:59We'll sneak in Tim in Philly real quick.
16:01Tim, call your shot.
16:02Who needs a big game to pull off the upset against Seattle?
16:06Hey, guys.
16:07We need Bill Krosky-Meritt to step up and be the guy.
16:11Not a huge Rashad fan, but I think in order for the offense to get any success, Bill's got
16:17to really take over when he gets his opportunity.
16:20You'd love to see Bill break out, bust a long one or two.
16:23I mean, Bill's shown he can be explosive, but we haven't seen it yet this year.
