First year center here in DC, Tyler Beaudish joins us on Grant and Danny. He has been one of the leaders up front of an O line that ESPN's got ranked number one in run blocking number eight and past blocking. Tyler, thank you for the time. How are you? Hey, how are you doing? I'm great. How are you doing? We're great, buddy. Appreciate the time, man. So you, those external grades are for, you know, slubs like Grant and I to kind of try to figure out and quantify what our eyes are seeing. How would you grade so far? What you and this O line have done through four weeks? We feel like it's pretty damn good. Yeah, I mean, I think we've done some pretty good stuff up to this point. I think that, you know, obviously, you know, there's lots, lots of work on it. I think, you know, that's just the standard that we hold ourselves that. And, you know, we have some stuff to clean up and even be better. So I think, you know, it's the point of that. I think we're doing a pretty good job so far. But, you know, there's obviously a huge, huge growth that we can get to Tyler from you at center over to your right with Cosmo and Wiley. I mean, you guys have pretty much been on the field for every single snap. Obviously, Nick Allegretti's been a mainstay but missed a few snaps at the end of the game. But you guys are now basically 50 50 rotating at left tackle, which is fairly uncommon. And it doesn't seem like missing a beat. Coleman's been awesome. Lucas has played pretty well. First of all, how abnormal is that just based on your experience college in the NFL to have like a platoon at left tackle, so to speak? And what do you make of how those guys have played? Yeah, I think, you know, I think the biggest thing in my experience, you know, there's definitely been some rotations in my career so far. But at the same time, you know, we've handled that through OTA's. We've had no that through camp and we have had we do now with BC and Lucas. So I think, you know, they've done a great job of, you know, just helping each other out, seeing what they're seeing on the field when they're in. They're prepared for that. But at the same time, I think, you know, we're just jailing and we're still, you know, early in the season where, you know, you just keep stacking those great opportunities of lessons and obviously, you know, the biggest ones are whether we win or lost, but just learning from those and having that growth throughout the, the preseason, the preseason, but also through the first four games, because that's the most unscattered look you're going to get. And Tyler Beaudish with us here on GND. We don't know you tremendously well yet. I feel like you're a really nice dude off the field. Are you one of those guys that like all of a sudden becomes like mean in a menace when the whistle blows? Or are you like always nice kind of like laughing and smiling while you're knocking guys into the dirt? Like are you a are you a trash talker? Do you get mean? Like does your heart turn in the field that I am outside? So definitely. I love that comment on that. Tyler Beaudish on GND was with the Cowboys. First four years of his career became a starter about quarterway left in the season in the last three years. A mainstay in Dallas. Dan Quinn loved what he saw brought him over to DC, a former pro bowler, anchoring this offensive line up front. What do you make of the way Jaden Daniels played as the rookie of the month? You know, I think there's, you know, the who he is on and off the field in his work ethic shows tremendously. I think the way he handles himself and how poised he is in any scenario doesn't matter what the situation is. He's always in the moment. And that's the hugest, you know, biggest part. I've seen up at this point in the consistency and the growth that he's had since OTAs camp to preseason one to the first game of season. So now there's huge growth points at his career even to this point that he's just, you know, taking those steps and he's, he's handling success in the right way and game after game. He's learning each and every time. So he's done a great job. Tyler Beaudish and the commanders are home against the Browns on Sunday. Tickets are available. You can go to commanders.com to get your hands on some. He seems like one of the guys in a way that's hard for a superstar. He was a Heisman trophy winner number two overall pick, but he seems like he's able to kind of get along in the locker room with the crew. I saw you guys were sliming him for his Nickelodeon award the other day and having fun. What's his personality like? Yeah, I think, I think it kind of goes back to what I said before, he's always in the moment. He's having fun with the two and he's a competitor and he's always having an edge on and how he can get better. But when we're in the moment of whether it be on or off the field, you know, we're having a great time and we're, you know, and we haven't had, you know, we've only had since what he's been drafted about a time. So we've had numerous amount of opportunities, whether it be, you know, dinners and hanging out after or even, you know, have an experience too with the Nickelodeon, where he just, he just not, well, yesterday. So I thought it's just he's in the moment guy. And that's, and that's the best part about him is that, you know, he's continuing to grow each and every day. Tyler, obviously new to the team this year and a couple other guys are as well on that offensive line. How long does it take for you to get comfortable so that it's second nature where you know in two to the wood Sam Cos was going to do all the great is going to do where various tackles are guys that you're playing with. How long does that comfort and cohesion take to really and truly build where it becomes natural? Yeah, I think I think the biggest part is just making sure that, you know, we're locked in and we're consistent throughout the time we have together and that goes all the back from the time we were in with OTA's and, you know, we're all coming here and, you know, bringing every single day and showing our personalities is, you know, see how each and every piece of a puzzle can fit, right? And, and how we could gel together. And I think that's a huge part about it is, is the biggest thing is having experience with one another. So, and that's, that was, you know, DQ had us, you know, playing in the preseason. That's which was great for us. And joint practice is that was great for us to build not necessarily this cost to this team, but to build with each and every position group and how to, you know, obviously build chemistry and unity within the align. And, and it comes with experience whether it be practice, meeting room and just being in the moment and being consistently, you know, doing what you need to do and how do you want to fit this or how do you want to block this and what's this call and how we're going to react to this and all these stunts and everything like that. So, and that's the biggest thing, I think Tyler stand out West last week seemed like a big deal to help you guys and basically not get too high after what was one of the great wins in recent franchise history. You end up handling your business against Arizona, but now you come home to friends and family in the area. You're not basically like locked in the hotel just with your teammates. How do you guys guard against now this week? Maybe going into that Cleveland game feeling yourselves a little bit. Yeah, I think I think the biggest part about like the travel that I thought was great was that you had you had time to, you know, probably we just talked about it and how you got to job with one another and and just keep on building and, you know, that brick by brick mentality. And, you know, what kind of short week, how can we, how can we bet, how can we be better, you know, obviously being on the road, you know, going all the way to, you know, a different time zone, all that, all that stuff. And, you know, I thought we, you know, we hit that out of the park. And so there's huge growth lessons I think we can build off of. But I think the point coming off of a huge win is like that is okay, how good, how great can we be? So like, how can we, how can you take the little details and how about those plays that maybe, you know, maybe didn't hit as well as we could. And just those edges that you just want to keep, keep on your way to, you know, chasing success. And obviously, you know, you know, being at that attitude level of how great can we be. And that's how, you know, you're just nailing out the details in the meeting room. And really stay consistent on top of that. Tell her be honest with us here on J&D couple more moments left. Why are there so many ineligible receiver downfield penalties? Like what is going on? Do they come warn you guys? I mean, league wide. Yeah, like, not just you guys, but everywhere. It's like every other plane now, like every RPO based results in it. Like you guys need a lobbyist to get that out. Like that's absurd what's happening right now. What's going on? And I think that's just the emphasis around the league. I think, you know, every year, I would say that there's going to be emphasis on whether it be new or not necessarily new. But, you know, I think that's the how you how great can you be based on officiating throughout each and every year? I think each and every year there's, you know, some stuff that, you know, the referees or NFL is looking for whether it be, you know, you know, illegal formation not being, you know, on the last scrimmage or, you know, whether it be excessive celebration or whatever the case may be. I think the biggest part to take away from that is that it's how the game is getting called. And, you know, that I think every, you know, referee crew, you take that into your study and you take that and how the league is getting called right now and you take that into prep as well. I think that's a it's a huge, huge part of the game. Tyler, I know I know why. Who knows? I know he doesn't line up right across from you, but we'll end the conversation here. The Browns are in town Sunday. Miles Garrett is not practicing right now, but assuming he plays he had two sacks this week. He's got four already through four games, one of the best rusters in the league. Just generally, you know, what kind of test is he, why is he so good and how do you guys kind of as a unit collectively try to slow him down? Yeah, I think, you know, he's a great player. You know, he's one of the best in the league and that then in that, you know, we respect it for that. But also, you know, that's the prep we have to take and take full force to, you know, whether he's practicing or not, whether he's playing or not, who knows, right? Like, but at the same time, we're prepared for him and we're going to be prepping the right way as if he's playing and he's a he's a, you know, a bullseye on, on him on his teams that, you know, we, we take very consideration of what he's done in the league. It will be previous years and even up to this point, but no, we, we prep like he's playing the game. Tyler, really appreciate you joining us, man. Good luck to you. Keep it on man. It's been a blast to watch you guys. Appreciate it. Thank you. There you go. Starting center.
