He's a really cool customer and he's got like real poise about him. I thought going in we knew the importance of the ball and you know the decision making for that we just couldn't give them short fields and chances to go so his ability to know when to when not to when to make a play with his legs. I thought we've seen a lot of this at practice and now it's carrying over into the games where the decision making sliding going taking your shot but I thought was a really strong performance tonight by him. Dan Quinn on the Jaden Daniels gem last night in prime time the commanders beat the Bengals with very few expecting them to. Final score 38-33 Washington scores on every one of its drives. They have now gone two consecutive games without punting and in fact have scored on double digit drives in a row. You got to go back two football games since they last started a drive that didn't result in points other than when they were kneeling down if you look at their drives last night 10 play 70 yards touchdown seven play 62 yards touchdown six plays 75 yards touchdown end of the half then only drive of the third quarter nine plays 28 yards touchdown 12 plays 46 yards field goal 12 plays 80 yards touchdown and that is a ball game get back to the phones in a second 800 636 1067 that's 800 636 1067 Danny I'll tell you this assignment was provided I'm sure and assigned before yesterday not a whole lot of respect just yet for the commanders they're going to the Cardinals as you know yes kick off in the four o'clock window on sunday the broadcast crew on that game for Fox the D team hmm it's a Chris Myers situation never the way we draw it up you've got Myers Mark slerith run the ball stop the run physicality and Jen Hale on the sidelines so Chris Myers Mark slerith on the call he get a big head shake from daris it'll be one of those sundays oh it's fine how many names will be said in a way you don't recognize them that's the big question 800 636 100 67 let's get to the phones and start with will and Stafford online five what's up will hey hey guys thanks hey mccall hey buddy got it i want to say i want to say i'll give a quick out of boy to nick all gritty for basically saving the game oh yeah fumble i think that was a great play but i'll say on jade daniels um just his body control the uh one juke move on um on shock of hayward the uh the slide that everyone like i mean it was a perfect form slide the slide where this was choice will it was so nice yeah yeah he he's got this body control if you remember RG3 ran real upright stiff kind of like uh Steven Davis on those epic you know he was just real stiff and uh jade and just smooth man he's he's like tree turner sliding across home plate he's just he's got a just a juice and a smoothness to him and i'm glad you brought up the slide i'd forgotten about it we didn't talk about it we're we're smacking each other and thanks will as always buddy we'll expect each other since good dude dude dude dude dude it was the first down was achieved there's three guys closing in i slide and it's harmless it was perfect have you seen any of the telecast yet no other than highlights yeah so last night when we got back to the hotel couple of us got together in the room and rewatched the game they showed the funniest stat i've ever seen on the broadcast after that the stat showed 34 runs one slide it was just a hilarious thing to post they put that on the ESPN screen it said 34 rushing attempts one slide it was his first of the year but it was so natural it was beautiful it looked like what you would tell a baseball player to do as they're coming into third base for a triple man not even breaking up a double place slide you know the clunky about it you're not kicking up any feet or going after someone's calf just a natural nice little pop slide add a boy to Austin Echler i feel for you brother yeah we should have been talking to him 20 minutes ago on this show every Tuesday at five o'clock all season we're gonna have to push that interview this week till later in the week because he's still in the concussion protocol the numbers don't look that big but remember they all came in one half of football three carries 35 yards and a touchdown all of those really early two catches 22 yards so it was five touches for 57 yards and a monstrous kickoff return as well add a boy he's just giving them such a jolt he is so damned good uh add a boy Luke McCaffrey we read stats last week about um Luke McCaffrey's actually getting open probably wasn't necessarily part of the plan or what uh Daniels was supposed to be looking for or who knows what was coach 12 wasn't but you got rewarded a little bit this week including a couple big plays uh to move the chains so look McCaffrey add a boy add a boy Jamart Chase who dropped a third down throw in the red zone in fact inside the 10 go to go from burrow and made a kick field goal if you remember he was like sliding just past the marker it was a low throw it would have been a nice catch but he makes it 90 percent of the time and i thought that was a big break uh add a boy Evan McPherson speaking of breaks he'd made 20 some straight kicks i believe from that distance it was 48 yard field goal they call him money McPherson here he is like automatic everybody loves him his jerseys are being worn in the crowd there like people he came out he got a like a mark wrestler or some face running out and yelling about uh the local football team they love him and then he missed the field goal that i thought was a chippy uh for him that was a pretty good break and then out of boy this was a good call but Terry made a move with the line of scrimmage and got grabbed up around the face mask a hands to the face negated what would have been a third and eight like a huge behind the the chain spot on the first drive of the second half penalty was called at that point it was like a five to zero penalty discrepancy against the bangles versus Washington add a boy referees letting the guys play there really weren't a lot of flags all night long and certainly not against the commanders but i thought that was another good fortune moment where instead of a third nate they got an automatic first down and scored a couple of plays later a couple i throw in one to the entire team as you mentioned for for not committing very many penalties at all and last week they committed more than they did the whole game just in their offensive red zone drives yeah to sabotage themselves that was very clean as far as those things go let me ask you this danny please of the turnover so far by washington's offense this year if you had to pick the one that was like the most demoralizing that did the most damage to them but you just think was the least excusable which one would you say god it's hard to think of any you know what i mean like is there been one that's been devastating or demoralizing or contributed to anything at all no i don't think there's been one well let me just i'll jog your memory i'm gonna list all of the turnovers this season yeah through 12 quarters of football go ahead yeah three games by the commander's offense okay go so don't forget the one that was the you didn't say anything so i'm gonna i'm enlisting all the turnovers yeah this is every time they've thrown a pick i'm waiting or lost a fumble right i think i'm gonna get it we know what a turnover is what are the turnovers sorry here they are yeah how are you gonna that was it that was the list oh oh so is it you know there aren't any they've had some good fortune with getting their own fumbles yeah that is that that does not continue but they've also just by and large protected the football too and that's what winners do i want winners we throw one more quick out of what if i can sure mickey sandwich still who played outside the whole game pretty much i know you're gonna say oh you're gonna be a bunch of more chase you know let's get three from tomorrow chase the entire nfl pretty much on that route single covered with a whole bunch of space on that side he was tough he was physical uh he broke up a uh one of those short little passes by that's strange knocking the snot out of somebody to get out of the way and then blew up the the would-be receiver he had six tackles yesterday a couple passes defended good game for Mikey sandwich still yeah i thought there was some really good moments and some you know young guy moments but the blowing up of the screen was something i saw at training camp but five times in a few practices that i was out there he is so good downhill he's so physical and just willing to stick his nose in there so i thought that was a big deal to just see him translate that over to the game um i thought the first touchdown i know he was trailing that's a single high safety where the heck is Percy Butler going he's the deep safety on that play i did not really understand what he was doing in fact jay gruden texted me right after that touchdown like i hadn't been texting him out of the blue and he's just like what the hell is the free safety doing that tell him to get his butt over or go sink you can't go single high against this team you'll get killed like what if you'd walk down to the side then just tap someone on the shoulder now i'll let him know jay great paulson from the club level how they mostly ended up with two deep safety they went to a one safety look later in the game you know it happened a touchdown to james another deep touchdown to james weird huh maybe jay was on to something there so joe saw that and was like you know what i'm going with this ball how about a hundred yards combined between those two throws to james let's go to darrick who's in dc on grant and danny what's up darrick how are you love you guys thanks buddy appreciate you happy tuesday um i'm uh um all in on the offensive lines i i think they're um a major reason why they were so good last night um they're doing the job there were a question mark coming into the season and now they're great and they look good because you know jane was in the pocket just hanging and throwing darts and you look confident and happy and comfortable that's not what's happening with the rest of these rupees so no any a number of times they you know picked up sorry go ahead bud i said god bless him because he gives credit and that's another thing and he's such a good leader he's like this wasn't me i you know it's the team thing and so um those beautiful man and um penalties wise coaching we got back to two penalties and only one of them was offense offensive line yeah and they both came at the end of the game thanks for the call appreciate it they did not have a single penalty at the midway point of the fourth quarter on the road and one of the loudest stadiums i've ever been in so i don't even know where to start to try to say how impressive that is uh but the o-line is not getting enough credit there's no doubt in my mind i've not looked up or dove into like the pff numbers on pressures and all it not but the number of blitz pickups times were especially in the last couple drives where Cincinnati was sending that fifth guy like the dog or six with a blitz and where they're sending someone downhill at Daniels heat-seeking missile style you know here they come and they don't penetrate like Daniels is still flat-footed with space huge they were awesome all night and i've over talked about the third and fourth downtime but like think about all those urch throws in those backbreaker moments where they move the chains Daniels was almost never on the run not harassed there yeah you know he just he had time grantin danny with you on the fan taking you up to six
