Jayden Daniels will speak to the media today live from London after logging a limited practice on Wednesday. Could he be trending towards playing on Sunday?
Transcript
00:00Look, I fell asleep on the cab coming over here.
00:02So did I.
00:02And then I woke up and I'm like, I wanted to ask him, hey man, you're just going in circles.
00:07Because it's like, I remember yesterday we came, I kept looking for the hotel, I mean
00:11the restaurant you have your thing at.
00:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13And I'm like, dude, I thought I was on the street just now, I know it's right around
00:16the corner.
00:17And the dude was like, oh no, we have another mile, 1.2 miles to go.
00:21I'm like, man, I think y'all just going in circles, bro.
00:23Come on.
00:24Dude, so what was crazy, B, is when I left the Grove to get here, let's call it where
00:29the radio station is, roughly like Navy Yard, like it's downtown.
00:33My man went around, imagine taking the Beltway, imagine being in like Rockville and to get
00:39to Navy Yard, you take the Beltway all the way around to like New York Avenue and then
00:43come in the other side of the city.
00:44It might be easier doing it that way, though.
00:46That's what we did.
00:47Because once you go through the city, and I'm going to tell you, lunchtime is the worst
00:52time around here.
00:53Because people come outside, though.
00:55We break.
00:57People hang out out here.
00:58They're in the park, they have full meals, they're sitting down, they're chilling, and
01:03they don't do it on 30 minutes, they do two hours, hour and two hours.
01:06Totally.
01:07Yeah.
01:07I agree with that.
01:08Suggestion.
01:09Yeah, let's pick that up.
01:11So, you know, being here now in England, over 24 hours, kind of getting settled, being
01:16out at practice today, listening to David Blau and Durante Jones, and I got to see Jaden
01:21Daniels for a brief second.
01:22I saw a handful of players, I saw DQ for a second, as they were going to their private walk
01:27-through
01:27before they got to the portion of the practice that was open to media.
01:32The way David Blau described the situation with Jaden and Marcus as fluid, I found kind
01:40of interesting.
01:41And then, Jaden Daniels is actually going to speak later today, live to the media.
01:46We're going to take that live here on Beamish and Finley, and I just wonder for them, if
01:51Jaden playing in this game is a more realistic thought than maybe you and I expected, at
01:57least when we flew over here.
01:58It could be, but like, I was listening to the Junkies earlier, and I saw the thing that
02:03John put out there yesterday.
02:04I haven't seen anything from him today, but as I looked at him, I saw him favoring his
02:09arm a little bit.
02:11But I did see a pass thrown, and he reached out with his left hand, and he tried to catch
02:16the ball with his left hand, but I did not see any, like, you know, grabbing it or worrying
02:21about it.
02:21He reached out like, boom.
02:24So, I don't know if there's some gamesmanship going on or not, but I don't think he will
02:29be playing.
02:30I seriously doubt if he will.
02:33I tend to agree with you.
02:35I wouldn't be surprised at anything, bro.
02:37I'm just, that's where I'm at at this point, because I saw what J.P. on the Junkies saw,
02:43but I also saw another thing where I didn't see him wince or anything bother him.
02:49No, he doesn't.
02:50I mean, I saw him just walking around.
02:52He seems to be normal.
02:53Because he was, like, holding it kind of like this, like, holding it like as if he's on
02:57a break.
02:58And then you see him walking in, and he'll walk, and he drops it.
03:01And then I saw him running, and then he was here like this one time, and the other time
03:04he was running.
03:05It was, so, you know what I'm saying?
03:06It's like sometimes, like, I don't know.
03:08I just, I didn't get a complete read on what I thought.
03:12I am with you in that I have less of a, I don't have a, a lock answer.
03:20Whereas, when we were flying over here, I would have said, I don't think he's playing.
03:23And now I still don't think he's playing, but I think it's more, there's far more possibilities
03:29than there were.
03:31David Blau gave an answer that I thought was really, really good.
03:34I asked him, you know, is there a timeline where you kind of need to know?
03:38And he's like, you know, Sooner's obviously better, but we're paid to adapt, and we'll
03:42kind of figure that out.
03:44The injury I find, listen, there's no more important player than who starts at quarterback,
03:49period.
03:49But the injury we're not getting that much information about that I'm starting to really
03:54wonder if he's going to play is Rashad White.
03:56And I think you couple that with the movement towards Austin Eckler, and it lends more credence
04:03to the, how is Rashad doing here?
04:05Was it yesterday, or did I hear that somewhere where Dan stated that, you know, he was still
04:10banged up with his shoulder.
04:10His shoulder was banged up.
04:11You know, that right there could be, could be something, and that may be that move right
04:15where they went to Austin, because Austin has proven he's dangerous out the backfield.
04:21Now, the injury report that the team put out last evening, which may have been at like
04:2610 a.m. at home, but they had to put out an injury report, it's obviously Wednesday with
04:30a Sunday game, NFL rules dictate an injury report, but it was all an estimation, because
04:34all they did was a walkthrough, so you don't want to take it as gospel, but the fact that
04:39White was a DNP, the only other two DNPs on this thing are Cosme and Cross, neither of
04:46whom they didn't make the trip.
04:47They're not even here.
04:48So, it's a big day for Rashad White if he is going to go.
04:53Where it gets interesting is, like, you've got a number of players that got the limited
04:57designation, but I think we kind of expect all those guys to go.
05:01Like, Amik Robertson is on there as limited.
05:04Javon Kinlaw is on there as limited.
05:06Certainly, the expectation is those guys are going to play.
05:09Then you also see Jaden Daniels listed as limited, and you're like, alright, well, he's
05:13in the same category as these other guys.
05:16Some of that is just the designations available on these injury reports don't provide for a
05:24ton of, like, you're only allowed to say, did not participate, limited participant, or
05:31full participant.
05:33So, he participated.
05:36Right.
05:36So, he's not DNP.
05:37Right.
05:37Now, we'll see what happens today.
05:38It does seem like the Jaden situation is at least more fluid than I expected.
05:44And the fact that they're making him available to the media today, it gives them wiggle room
05:50that, hey, our starting quarterback talked to the media because it's mandated by the league
05:53to do so.
05:54Yeah, yeah.
05:54I understand.
05:55I just, listen, bro.
05:57If he plays, he plays.
05:58If he don't, he don't.
05:59That's where I'm at with this because I believe that if Marcus continue on like he did, you're
06:04not worried about it.
06:05But you just, it's just, you hate to be put in a position, I don't care if it's a coach
06:10or anybody else, where if he plays, you don't want nothing to happen.
06:15Totally.
06:16You know?
06:16So.
06:16And I just wonder, I know we had Dr. Gard on earlier, like, medically he's able to play.
06:22But able to play and could you use another week where you're just building that thing
06:29back up or letting the swelling go down or building the comfort with the brace?
06:32Because, like, there's, like, on a football team, like, Alec Gretti, like, there's players
06:38where if they're able to go, they need you to go.
06:41But let me say this, too.
06:42I don't know that you need Jaden to go in week four.
06:45But a lot of times there are injuries out there, there are hits out there that are far
06:50worse than what they, they sound or look far worse than what they are.
06:53His elbow popping out looks horrible.
06:57Okay?
06:59And I mentioned that my sister was able to drop hers out, pop it back in with her shoulder.
07:07Could it have gotten, could it be at a point where, okay, it's not as treacherous as it
07:15was the first time?
07:16You see what I'm saying?
07:17The pain and bouncing back from it.
07:19I don't know.
07:19So, yeah, I mean, if you know, like, the other side of it is, if Jaden has been through
07:30this injury before.
07:32The second time is totally different.
07:34Right.
07:35The second time.
07:35I imagine when you dislocate your elbow in the gruesome manner with which he has, it
07:39hurts like hell when it happens.
07:41Period.
07:42And it hurt like hell when Jaden did it against Dallas two weeks ago.
07:45Period.
07:45Period.
07:46But maybe he knows what the feelings are coming out of it in a manner that's much different
07:51than it was coming out of the Seattle game.
07:52Maybe his comfort level with it is much different than it was a year ago coming out of the Seattle
07:57game.
07:57Or, again, maybe this is all, let's just make the Colts think a little bit.
08:01Maybe, you know, the more they're worried about our guys, they're not worried about their
08:05guys.
08:05And maybe it's not going to work.
08:06I don't know.
08:07But it's a hella interesting little subplot to the first London game of the year.
08:12Yeah.
08:13And maybe nothing more than that.
08:15It may be a complete nothing burger.
08:17Yeah.
08:18I think some of the something burgers are Frankie Luvu and Chig Okonkwo.
08:22Seeing both of those guys at practice, in uniform, running around.
08:26You know, David Blau today got asked about the tight end position and said, you know,
08:30I'm really happy with how those guys are playing.
08:31Will we like more productivity?
08:33Certainly.
08:34But at the same time, if you can get Chig out there, really athletic guy, maybe that
08:39changes things.
08:40Here's what I know.
08:41It's be Mitchell Finley coming to you from London, just getting warmed up on, I guess
08:46it is a Bleedview Thursday.
08:47I have no idea if we have the capabilities of doing that from here, but we'll find out
08:50together.
08:51It's be Mitchell Finley.
08:51We...
