A cornerback's bold guarantee just handed an NFC East rival pure bulletin-board fuel ahead of Sunday night. Did he set a tone of swagger or write a check his defense can't cash?

SportsTranscript
00:00They face the Eagles on Sunday night in a must-win.
00:04Commander's now a six-point favorite.
00:06Went up from four and a half to six.
00:08Oh, no.
00:09They are facing a beleaguered Eagles team that has significant injuries,
00:13most significantly.
00:14Jalen Hurts out for the year.
00:17Here's what Amik Robertson,
00:19who's arguably been the best defensive player on the Commanders this year,
00:24here's what he said about this upcoming matchup.
00:26We definitely need to win this game, and we will.
00:28You know, we got to be detailed.
00:30We got to practice hard.
00:32We got to focus on all the little things.
00:34Stop making, you know, repeated mistakes, you know, and take it on to the game.
00:38Execute, you know, at a high level, everybody around the ball,
00:40and, you know, blow them out of the water.
00:42Like, that's just that.
00:44We had six weeks.
00:46How many weeks to get all those mistakes out, man?
00:49Like, it's really no excuses.
00:50That goes for myself.
00:51That goes for everybody.
00:52Offense, defense, like, we're trying to execute at a high level
00:55and play complementary football, and that's offense, defense, special teams.
00:58Amik, saying you guys are going to win on Sunday sounds like a guarantee.
01:02It has to be.
01:03You know, we have to win the rest of these games.
01:07If we want to go where we want to go.
01:09I mean, it's obvious what he's saying.
01:11Do you have a problem with what Amik Robertson said?
01:14That it's bulletin board material.
01:16If you're a believer in bulletin board material,
01:18that's definitely bulletin board material for the Eagles.
01:21If you believe in that sort of thing, the Eagles can be motivated.
01:24They become aware of it.
01:26We just heard from Baldy on the show that he felt like the Eagles,
01:29in their last matchup, their defensive players weren't even getting set.
01:32Maybe they'll be more on point because they feel like they've been disrespected.
01:36Well, listen, I don't think he meant it to be that way.
01:39I think he was totally meaning it just as a pump-up and confidence in his own team.
01:44So, I mean, I'll say as a fan, I kind of cringe when I see that stuff
01:47because it always feels like it comes back to haunt you.
01:49But, of course, you want them all to be confident.
01:52And especially when Scott then says, hey, are you guaranteeing?
01:56That's the only answer is yes.
01:58Yeah, you can't say no.
01:59You can't say no.
02:00You can't say that.
02:01I guess you could say, well, you never can tell who's going to win.
02:04I mean, you want him to be confident.
02:06I think his answer was it have to be.
02:08Yeah.
02:08Yeah.
02:09So, I think he didn't mean anything by it.
02:12He's just supporting his team.
02:13He's been a heart and soul guy.
02:15He's been as gritty as anybody on the defensive side of the ball.
02:18He's overmatched on virtually every play because he's an undersized guy.
02:24Those Detroit guys that said you're going to love him, they were right.
02:27I think the fan base lost him.
02:28I don't think the Eagles are going to be more motivated than they would be
02:31if he wasn't even asked about it.
02:32I mean, they're professionals.
02:34They're motivated because they're professionals.
02:36Yeah, he's not denigrating them.
02:38He's talking about it from Washington's perspective.
02:41And the Eagles players would know that.
02:43They would know why he's saying that, too.
02:44I mean, the Eagles defensive players know that the offensive guys are all
02:47banged up and their quarterback's out for the year.
02:50They know that they're underdogs by six points.
02:52They know there's a reason for it.
02:541-800-636-1067.
02:56I generally don't believe in Bolton-Ward material.
03:00However, if Baldy's correct and the players, maybe because they've been in this losing streak
03:06and their starting quarterback is out, if they're not on point and they haven't been putting
03:12forth effort, in this case, maybe the Bolton-Ward material would affect you to put forth greater
03:19effort and be more on point in practice where you feel like you have been disrespected by
03:24a Meek Robertson, and so maybe it does come back to bite them in the ass.
03:29Because on paper, the Eagles are a big underdog.
03:33The Commanders win this game.
03:34They weren't just going to phone it in otherwise.
03:37Well, they did phone it in this past week, according to a lot of people who watched the
03:40film.
03:41Well, that's another reason why they're going to play well, because they sit in meetings
03:44all week and their defensive coaches are going, what the hell are we doing?
03:46We're not this bad.
03:47We're better than this.
03:48Yeah, but they're not going to not phone it in because that guy just had confidence
03:53in his own guys.
03:54I don't believe it.
03:56And believe me, I cringe when I see it because I know they can't wait to hold that against
04:01us if the Eagles do win.
04:04Right.
04:04You know, like that'll be some sort of factor.
04:06Well, he's 100% right that they definitely need to win this game.
04:11Yeah.
04:11So when he said that, you can have 100% agreeance.
04:15And then he said, and we will, that's where people are wondering whether he should have
04:21said that.
04:22He's just, I don't mind people being confident.
04:24Yeah.
04:25I told you I watched the Tyson doc, which is excellent on Netflix.
04:29And from an early age, once, uh, Customato had him, he was saying, I'm the greatest in
04:35the world.
04:35I'm the greatest in the world.
04:37And there is something to that power of positive thinking.
04:40And this team should think that they should be able to win games.
04:44He's starting to manifest the win.
04:45I do believe in, you can manifest certain things with habits and you, but you got to
04:50do all the right things.
04:51You can't just say it.
04:51You got to do all the things behind it to back it up and assuming that they are.
04:57Um, but I think, you know, a lot of it is, is, is on DQ too.
05:02I noticed that this week he made a point of emphasis of saying, I guess he was asked at
05:07some point, he alluded to the idea that if guys keep committing these penalties, they're
05:11going to be benched.
05:12In other words, they're going to be consequences, which I have often felt like there aren't
05:18enough consequences.
05:19You can say what you want about, uh, Harbaugh, but when he basically didn't let Scadaboo carry
05:24the ball two weeks ago, I liked it.
05:27I thought it was, it was motivation for Scott.
05:29It was an important point.
05:31And, and, and, and maybe the only way that it'll hit home with some of these guys.
05:36There has to be consequences.
05:39Um, but, but you're playing coming off a buy.
05:42You're, you're playing at home prime time.
05:45You're playing against Tanner McKee, uh, banged up Saquon and banged up receivers.
05:50If they even play, uh, you know, Jay, a team with Jayden Daniels can't lose to a team with
05:56McKee.
05:57You have to beat them.
05:59So I understand why he used that word.
06:02Yeah.
06:02All right.
06:03Let's go to, uh, let's go to Ronald in Fairfax.
06:05If you want to chime in, it is open on Thursday.
06:07Chance to steer the show.
06:08800-636-1067.
06:11Ronald, what's up, man?
06:13You're all with the Chucky's.
06:14What's going on, man?
06:16Hey.
06:16What's up, Ron?
06:19I, listen, someone had to say something.
06:21This mindset in this locker room and with this team, it needs to change.
06:24You can't just sit around and say, we've been injured.
06:27The rest have been awful.
06:28Someone's got to go out there and want it and guarantee it.
06:32And I, I don't think it's both and more material.
06:34I mean, the Eagles, they're like, they're grown men with like families and kids.
06:38Like, I don't think they're really locking in on.abraham's Twitter.
06:41Like, they might see it and be like, you know, they're not going to like, they're professional
06:45athletes.
06:46They're going to go hard regardless, no matter what the game is.
06:50Well, that's not necessarily true.
06:51Wait a second.
06:52Let me ask you this.
06:52Be honest.
06:53You've been a sports fan probably all your life.
06:56Are there not differences in effort sometimes when you watch teams in sports?
07:02That is true.
07:03But like, I, this isn't one of them in my opinion.
07:06Like, maybe if it was a little bit more of a disrespectful quote, he was literally just
07:11saying like, we got to go out and get this if we want to be anything.
07:14Like, he's not saying, they got Tanner McKee, I guarantee it.
07:18He's saying, we need to win this game or else heads are going to roll.
07:23It's a survival league at this point.
07:26Yeah, I happen to agree with you.
07:28All right.
07:28Thank you, Ronald.
07:29Appreciate it, buddy.
07:30Let's go to Dwayne and Bowie.
07:33Dwayne, what's up, man?
07:34You're all with the junkies.
07:35Good morning, guys.
07:36How you doing?
07:37Hey, good.
07:37So, JP, if you listen to that again, he didn't say, oh, we're going to beat them by 20.
07:42We're going to have eight interceptions.
07:44He's the professional athlete, right?
07:46So, I don't understand what you need, bulletin board.
07:49The commanders need a bulletin board.
07:51It's not like they're on a winning streak and then the Eagles are going to break it.
07:54They're embarrassing as well.
07:55So, it's not like, put it up there, we got an eight-game winning streak and the Eagles
08:00are coming in.
08:01Okay, well, are we going to snap that streak?
08:02No.
08:03To me, to be honest, those two teams are struggling.
08:07Okay?
08:07So, there's no bulletin board material.
08:10He's not there.
08:11Let me ask you something, JP.
08:12If you're an athlete and somebody put a microphone in your face and say, do you think you're going
08:16to win tonight?
08:17What are you going to say?
08:18No, are we going to lose?
08:19No, are we going to say yes?
08:20Are we going to win?
08:20I agree.
08:21Look, I generally, if you've listened to this show for years and years, I generally don't
08:24believe in bulletin board material.
08:28If I'm asked that question, I'm going to say, yeah, I'm going to win.
08:32I feel confident.
08:33That's basically what you're saying.
08:35Right?
08:36Yeah, I'm not saying I have a problem with it.
08:38I'm throwing out a scenario, though.
08:40The only scenario where I see it could affect the game is that Baldy is a guy who looks at
08:47film, right?
08:47He said he saw on film that the Eagles didn't put forth great effort.
08:51In particular, if you watch his breakdowns, he shows defensive players who weren't in
08:57their stance during snaps, several snaps, right?
09:00Yeah, weren't ready to play.
09:01They weren't locked in, weren't ready to play.
09:03Their energy level was low.
09:05So when you get a quote like that, like it's put up, that a coach maybe highlights, maybe
09:10it fires up those defensive players who were basically phoning it in in the last game.
09:16I don't know if that's the case.
09:18I'd like to think that it doesn't affect you.
09:21Like I said, generally speaking, I don't think bulletin board affects you that much.
09:24It doesn't.
09:25They're professionals.
09:26They've lost five straight.
09:27That's what their bulletin board material should be.
09:29We've lost five straight.
09:30We're not that bad.
09:31Can you play it again?
09:33Because I don't think he's saying anything sort of relative to them.
09:36It could be any opponent.
09:38He would say the same thing, I think.
09:40We definitely need to win this game.
09:42And we will.
09:43You know?
09:43We've got to be detailed.
09:44We've got to practice hard.
09:46We've got to focus on all the little things.
09:48Stop making repeated mistakes.
09:51Take it on to the game.
09:52Execute at a high level.
09:53Everybody around the ball.
09:55And, you know, blow them out of the water.
09:56Like, that's just that.
09:58We had six weeks.
10:00How many weeks to get all those mistakes out, man?
10:03Like, it's really no excuses.
10:04That goes for myself.
10:05That goes for everybody.
10:06Offense, defense.
10:07Like, we're trying to execute at a high level and play complementary football.
10:11And that's offense, defense, special teams.
10:12Me saying you guys are going to win on Sunday sounds like a guarantee.
10:16It has to be.
10:17You know, we have to win the rest of these games if we want to go where we want to
10:22go.
10:22So, yeah.
10:22He's lumping them all in.
10:23All together.
10:24It has nothing to do with the Eagles.
10:26Exactly.
10:27They could be playing the Bills.
10:28That's why it's not really bulletin board material.
10:29He would say we have to win this game.
10:31It's not really bulletin board material.
10:32He's not saying they have a backup quarterback.
10:34They played like Butt last week.
10:36Saquon's not the same guy.
10:37He's not saying any of that.
10:39That's bulletin board material if you say that kind of thing.
10:42I put this up as the junkies poll of the day brought to you by Surfside Iced Tea and Vodka
10:47or Surfside Lemonade and Vodka.
10:49This football season, grab a Surfside, your go-to canned cocktail made with real vodka, only 100 calories, and zero
10:55bubbles.
10:55It's not a seltzer.
10:56It's Surfside.
10:57Must be 21.
10:58Please drink responsibly.
10:59And the two options are whether you mind it or not.
11:03Yes, you do mind it because it's bulletin board material.
11:07Or no, you like the confidence.
11:09I mean, if I had to vote, I like the confidence.
11:10I want my players feeling confident.
11:13I don't mind smack talking.
11:15You know what?
11:16In the NBA, we were talking about this during the break.
11:20Yaxel Lundenberg is looking to be one of the best rookies.
11:24The kid from Michigan won a national championship, plays for Golden State.
11:27Not really a kid.
11:28He's like 24 already.
11:29He's 24 years old.
11:30But he went at it against Luka Doncic in one of the games, and he basically said Luka sucks, is
11:34overrated, whatever.
11:36And so Luka's going to be motivated.
11:37They play each other on Friday.
11:40You know, Luka's going to try and bust his ass, but I like the attitude of Yaxel.
11:44Yaxel's not trying to back down.
11:45He did a pretty good job.
11:46Hey, don't let the word salad fool you.
11:49He says, we definitely need to win this game, and we will, and we'll blow him out the water.
11:54He did say that.
11:55I know, but just don't let the word salad.
11:58He said, we'll blow him out the water?
12:00He said at the end, yeah, we're going to win this game.
12:03And we will, and, you know, blow him out the water.
12:06Yeah.
12:07He said that.
12:07You probably shouldn't have said that.
12:08Do you think that was, like, opponent-specific?
12:11Well, I'm just saying that everyone's kind of like, well, it's not really bulletin board material.
12:17Well, it...
12:18I don't think any of it goes specific to the Eagles.
12:22Well, he's asked about the opponent, so I think it is specific towards the Eagles.
12:26He should have said, blow him out the water.
12:28I'm just saying that he should...
12:29I'm okay with him saying, we're going to win, we have to win.
12:32I'm okay with that.
12:33I'm just saying the word salad of complimentary football, and we've got to get our ass together
12:38and get right and everything, is masking the fact that he said, we will win,
12:43and we've got to blow him out the water.
12:45So, do you think it's bulletin board material that would make you nervous?
12:49No.
12:50I would want...
12:50I actually think there should be more swagger like this in professional locker rooms.
12:56Hmm.
12:57And I think that one of the...
12:58The first caller was right.
13:00It's kind of missing this kind of swagger in the Redskins locker room.
13:05Maybe.
13:06I mean, I guess it's hard to have swagger when you're 1-4-1, but...
13:10In general, I don't like to give teams extra motivation if they do need any.
13:14They are professionals.
13:15They're going to play hard, generally, regardless.
13:19But I don't think in this particular instance he was taking a shot at the Eagles,
13:23for whatever it's worth.
13:25I mean, maybe they can take it that way.
13:27I think he was just saying the reality of the situation.
