00:00Kevin and Laurel, close us out, then we're going to get to our grades.
00:02What's up, Kev?
00:04Hey, what's up?
00:05Can you hear me, J.P.?
00:06I hear you, bud.
00:08Yes, sir.
00:09How you doing, Mr. Doc Walker?
00:10What's up?
00:10Yeah, I've been a Redskins fan all my life, 70 years.
00:14But, yes, I do believe we can win the division.
00:16Like the other caller said, and like Doc is saying, chip over there.
00:21If the guy needs help, just chip over there on the left side.
00:26And why don't we run more screen plays?
00:30And we don't do no crossing patties.
00:33Zero.
00:34You know, back in the old days with Joe Gibbs, we had crossing patties with Monk,
00:38Clock.
00:39You know, you confuse the defense, and you can't catch the guys because they're
00:45at full speed, and you're trying to break to check these guys.
00:49So, yes, I do believe we can win the division.
00:52We definitely need the coaches to step up.
00:55Discipline.
00:57You can see it on the field.
00:59I don't understand.
01:00They got a whole preseason.
01:02They're in six games.
01:03They should be more disciplined than that.
01:06You blocking the tackle, why are you going to put your hand up in his face?
01:10You already got it.
01:11The man already went around the corner and scored a touchdown,
01:13and you still blocking it.
01:15Appreciate the call, Cal.
01:16I don't understand you.
01:17Yeah, I was saying, what happened to the button cut?
01:20You got a guy going to cut him.
01:24It's just, but then again, we keep going back.
01:26Little bitty mistakes have a huge impact.
01:30And why is it?
01:32What's the remedy to it?
01:34And if you tell me there isn't a remedy to it, then to me, you should abort the whole
01:38program.
01:40They're in the business of fixing things.
01:41Got to fix things.
01:42Got to fix things.
01:43All right, time for the BMF grades.
01:45Doc, we came up with the BMF grades because everybody gets so caught up in PFF grades
01:49that are often folly.
01:51We decided to come up with our own.
01:53And you want to start on offense or defense, sir?
01:57Defense.
01:57Okay.
01:59Defensive line, Doc.
02:00How do you think they performed?
02:04Defensive line, I got to give them a C.
02:10I think that's pretty fair.
02:11I mean, at halftime, it would have been an F.
02:15But by the end of the game, they fought back.
02:20McCaffrey, right at four yards of carry, 16 for 64.
02:22The kid, Kalen Black, came in and gave them a little bit of juice.
02:25You would have liked them to see third and 11, not let Purdy go for 12.
02:30Niners.
02:31They had some pressures.
02:32They got to Purdy in the second half.
02:34He had only been sacked three times on the year.
02:36They got to him a lot in that second half.
02:41Honestly, I might go a little higher on the D-line.
02:45I can get to a B-minus.
02:48You're a nice guy.
02:49I am.
02:49That's what people always say about me.
02:52The linebackers in this game.
02:56Quietly, I think Sonny Stiles, maybe not quietly, actually.
02:58Sonny Stiles is having a heck of a rookie season.
03:01Just specifically on him, Doc.
03:02How impressed have you been with the Rook?
03:04Yeah, I'd give him a B if it was just individually.
03:07I'd individual grade him a B, but the group overall, C.
03:14I think that's fair in this one because you had a tight end.
03:18Torch him.
03:18Killed him.
03:19Torch him.
03:20And I'm doing all this, and I'm being kind because had Evans continued to play,
03:27you had to just give you Fs across the board, and we'd move on.
03:30If Evans continued to play, I don't think.
03:31We can in this segment.
03:33Oh, yeah.
03:34If Evans continued to play, I think there may have been actual changes this week
03:38from ownership.
03:39Oh, on the plane.
03:41Yeah.
03:45When we talk about the linebackers, Kittle torched him.
03:49The touchdown, the first touchdown in the corner of the end zone,
03:52he couldn't have been more open.
03:54McCaffrey historically has hurt Washington in now six career games against them
03:59through the air.
04:00It's not a gaudy yardage total, but he had nine catches for 53 yards.
04:06Every time Purdy needed to dump it off, CMC was there.
04:10And while CMC's game didn't necessarily pop, he finished with 117 yards from scrimmage
04:19and two touchdowns.
04:20And if you look at his average, it's below his average.
04:24I know.
04:25That's the kind of baller he is.
04:27Yeah.
04:28What a player.
04:31The defensive back stock.
04:34My grade at halftime would have been an F minus.
04:38I'll go D.
04:41I got to match you on the D.
04:42Yeah.
04:43I got to go D because, first of all, they could give up a score on every play,
04:48but they didn't, and they don't.
04:50And they still did enough to stop them to give the offense a chance to win.
04:55That's their job.
04:56Give us a chance.
04:58They did, and we didn't finish.
05:01It was, you know, you come out of that game.
05:05I thought Shai Tuttle had a hell of a game.
05:07There were some guys that I thought.
05:09Physical.
05:10Yeah.
05:10Perform.
05:11Yeah, he's physical.
05:12But I just, I don't know.
05:15Before we get to the offensive side of the ball, I mean, just looking at the defensive performance,
05:22Stiles leads them with 13 tackles.
05:25They got a real one in Sonny.
05:26And, Doc, I don't know if you agree with that.
05:28How about the pass he defended down the field and the forced fumble?
05:34Well, come on.
05:35Sooner or later, one of our draft choices was going to actually be good.
05:40They are mediocre at best in the people that they've selected and the results on their performances.
05:50Stallion, did you send me that?
05:53Somebody sent me this chart of Adam Peters draft picks.
05:58And it is bad.
06:00And I only grade GMs on half of that.
06:04But picking a guy, but then you got to get somebody to produce the talent.
06:08Sure.
06:09So, it may not be all on him, but in combination of his picks and their development, dude, you're lucky
06:15if you're above a D.
06:20Agreed.
06:22And they are attached to the hit.
06:24They're in this thing together.
06:26Yeah.
06:26So, it's them together.
06:28I thought, one thing I think you would really like, Doc, and unfortunately it's happened too many times now through
06:34six games, but I am tasked with talking to players after they lose.
06:40And some players, especially veterans, have been in the league long enough, understand kind of the ups and the downs
06:47and trying to stay even keel.
06:50But you get a young fella out of Ohio State.
06:53How many games do we think Sonny Stiles lost in college?
06:56Probably counted on one hand, if not less.
06:59Right?
06:59Maybe three.
07:00Stiles is so pissed off after these losses.
07:05He is a, he's not a big media guy.
07:09He's not looking for Instagram, you know what I mean?
07:12But he's about ball, and he is pissed off after these losses.
07:19I'm guessing you like that.
07:21I love it.
07:23Because, you know what, he, his, the purity of what he presents, and I think he also realizes how close
07:31they are.
07:33It's not like they got slaughtered, and that's the whole point that we have to get over emotionally.
07:40We're pulling for them to win, but if they don't, we got to judge how they play because they don't
07:43win that often anymore.
07:45It's not the same team people want to go back to two years ago.
07:49It's just not.
07:50Get over it.
07:50But with this group now, you got a chance.
07:53Dude, I was shocked.
07:55I'd be broke if I was betting.
07:57Because there's no way in the hell I'd have taken them, and yet they could have won the game.
08:02It's crazy.
08:05I thought Sonny was really good in this game, and I wanted to give him some credit.
08:09Also, getting Nick Cross back on the field.
08:12Thumbs up.
08:13He'll get there.
08:14I think there was a little bit of, like, kind of catching up.
08:17Getting Trey Amos back on the field.
08:19Yeah, he is hard.
08:20I mean, Robertson, to me, he just, I love this kid.
08:26Two is, he's just a dog.
08:29And that's what they need, that to be infectious.
08:33They're getting more production out of the big people up front than we've gotten in years.
08:37Yes.
08:38In years.
08:38Tunnel's playing well for them.
08:40Yeah.
08:40Tunnel played well the other night.
08:42Yeah, but look how many years we've been overhyped on our front.
08:44They got paid.
08:46They got bags.
08:46They're high picks.
08:47They haven't busted a grape consistently.
08:50This group is active.
08:51They're getting you some results, and they did it against maybe the best team, one of the best teams in
08:56football.
08:57They did it against the Hawks.
08:59So, I just, now, they don't have the wins to prove it, but that's on them.
09:03So, I just, now, they don't have the wins to prove it.
