00:02what a disaster what an unmitigated disaster burgundy gold post game show ben strover
00:12and redskins legend rick doc walker with you trying to make sense of what just happened
00:19not our job stood we don't have to make sense of it that's their job road team take the points
00:26we'll get we'll definitely get into the decision you cannot not take points when you're on the road
00:33and you're not really you're playing well enough to be in it but not to dominate it so we got
00:40a lot
00:40on the plate and guess what year's not over you can't just hang it up now we got to keep
00:45going
00:45the question is are we going up or down it's week two it is week two doc 37 to 20
00:53dallas stomps the
00:55commanders you had that feeling at the end of the first half doc you and i are sitting here
01:00watching this game jayden daniels is rolling it feels like 2024 and dallas is on the ropes yeah
01:07it was a great feeling it was and we left a lot on the table in that they were like
01:15taking candy from
01:16a baby for a moment and then it's we you could see the momentum shifting they're supposed to be that
01:22good at their place coming off the rotten performance they had they had a lot to make up for too
01:28so there was a lot going on it but it didn't look like we were out of place it looked
01:32like
01:32we were just getting settled in here to make a move without really making up big plays but
01:41you could just feel it i wish i could keep that feeling going but you know you can't and we
01:47were
01:47doing it without really having we were kind of thumbing away at a ground attack we weren't
01:52completely out of the run game but we got to do better and and i think they can the question
01:59is
01:59will they we're going to open these phone lines up 800-636-1067 800-636-1067 if you want to
02:07chime
02:07in make this your therapy session for well it's not a panic deal mariotta give them credit for having a
02:13guy that can you can still win with correct we didn't just go from the luxury line to the used
02:19car lot we didn't do that we still had a chance but other areas have got to do their part
02:25we have
02:27got to be better on the back end you know we had some pressure we got to get more there
02:33are a lot of
02:33things that if this were week nine maybe we'd be talking draft i'm not doing doing that week two
02:40correct and you can still got a chance to control your destiny and nobody's going to feel sorry for
02:45you but i just think that we can get more out of our own people let's let's talk timeline here
02:51because we don't know the status of daniels and his injury we're not going to speculate that here
02:55but chris paul stepped on jayden he fell he put down that same left elbow that he injured against
03:00seattle last year playing left guard yeah okay what's chris paul okay so he falls he uses that left
03:06elbow to stop his momentum going to the ground and his elbow you could see it on the screen tom
03:11brady
03:12dropped the s word on the broadcast same elbow he was shocked same elbows last year so would we would
03:17it be really crazy for us to say you know what maybe we need a brace on that elbow since
03:24this is
03:24this is not the first time it's happened well the question could be do you consider surgery to
03:30prevent this from happening in the future is one thing that people have speculated but i don't know
03:33the nature of the injury if it's a dislocation what is surgery on the dislocation possibly to
03:39repair it in a way where it'd be less likely to happen again i'm strong where to brace when you
03:43you don't throw off that arm correct this is not throwing arm yes so brace it up the thing about
03:50this wrap it up brace it up i mean whatever it feels like such a massive gut punch regardless doc
03:56because you start getting that feeling again i know as he's carving through dallas's defense
04:0269 passing yards seven carries or sorry 69 rushing yards 111 oh he's a difference maker
04:08it was we were looking at this thing looking at each other going wow he's one of three people in
04:13the
04:13league that can do that and it is game changer and both of those guys have been mvps
04:21it's an unbelievable ability to where the defense should have you down and you end up picking up 15 yards
04:30on demand and he's one of the few people in the world that can do that and mariotta comes in
04:36and
04:36why i'm not disappointed and i felt this the whole way with him because he's got a lot of the
04:44same
04:44attributes not as defined but we go right back into where we still could win the game you still
04:50have a chance to do it i hate to be a sour grapes on the call it was a touchdown
04:57they didn't get you
04:58shouldn't get it on the road i mean but he had it he put the ball where it needed to
05:04be we got to get
05:05more out of our playmakers we need to make more plays but we got more pressure there were a lot
05:10of
05:10good things that i saw that i feel good about but new york beat them so we see in new
05:19york
05:20has turned their program around quicker than our what are we saying it's a week one thing and dallas
05:26defensively didn't look much better i will say that it's only 20 on the board for the commanders
05:31but there was a point in that game in that first half as they're driving down the field there and
05:35you
05:35start thinking this offense is going to roll the rest of the way and you start to feel like you
05:40have a chance i thought the turning point which should have been in the game was when kinlaw got
05:44the sack on first down the possession before you saw them finally get a stop because remember they
05:48dug themselves yeah in a 17-3 hole yeah good point and jayden starts leading them back and at the
05:56end
05:56of the first half you and i are sitting there doc watching saying this is where it gets kind of
06:00dangerous when you'll leave a few seconds because even if pressure breaks in and you have to throw that
06:05ball away you risk an intentional grounding call you have a 10 second runoff you get no points
06:09not only do you get no points with three seconds left there but you're going to be without your
06:15quarterback for some time and this could have major implications on the future of the entire
06:21franchise do you agree with that it could but again that's why you have backups i've found this
06:26my experience tells me you have you're prepared to lose everybody on your team they have to have
06:35gone through that scenario then you should resign if you can't handle it season goes on you got to
06:40move everybody has to do with it seattle's doing the champs are playing with a backup they're not
06:46crying they're winning games right then when's your defense gonna step up and do it we look like we had
06:52no way to defend their receivers and for a moment it looked like they were just on a joystick
07:00then we got a little bit better at it we've got to be better if we don't cover well we
07:05got to
07:05pressure better our safeties we got some hits it didn't fall apart but you're not as good as you
07:12want to be yet and i don't know if we blitzed as much as i hoped that we would but
07:17then you're playing
07:18back and we're not the first program to go into they won 80 of these games down there so let's
07:25not act
07:25like this was an upset we would winning would have been the upset but i just thought we had a
07:32chance until we decided that we didn't and that's where you wanted to be in your hands not the
07:37opponents it also just felt like one of those games doc now two weeks into the season you see
07:42you have two nfc's rivals on your schedule and then you have seattle to welcome the home slate of
07:47your schedule in week three you figured yourself you have to get one of the first two and they had
07:53chances to win both of these first two games throwing support they're owing two but what's
07:58important is that you weren't dominated you lost and now can you learn from those mistakes are you
08:06going to let a seattle team come in here as a headless horse if their starter doesn't play
08:14where's your manhood now both teams can say that seattle's gonna go a two backup quarter
08:21quarterback's gonna come out and beat us some point they it's not my job to fire them up it's
08:27their job to let their check fire them up and decide that well were you slaughtered no you weren't but
08:33you didn't win the game object is to win you don't get brownie points in this league for being close
08:39so i would assess it and going moving forward that what was i feeling during the game we got to
08:46get more
08:46of a running attack we just got to get more out of it whatever it takes to do that but
08:53it's not like
08:53we didn't have anything going we got something but it's not enough what are we going to be done what
08:59do we do best whatever that is we need to do it scary was minimized in this it's one of
09:08the few times
09:08i've ever seen him not be a dominant factor in the first two games but digs seems to be unstoppable
09:16so it's playing off each other so now you got a chance to be and the third and fourth guys
09:22are showing presence that's a plus as far as i'm concerned did a tight end touch the ball
09:32i can't do it off memory first play of the game oh that was it they threw to ben sinning
09:36ben sinning
09:36the first play of the game but then that was it he was no factor the cowboys tied in was
09:41a major
09:42factor two touchdowns for ferguson major factor so we can't keep keep having these zeros you got
09:49second round pick we got more second round picks to do less to contribute to winning than anything i've
09:56ever seen in my life but i don't care about rounds pick it's production i can get an undrafted free
10:02agent to outproduce all of them and all great teams have that the question is how do we beat seattle
10:09because eventually you have to get a victory in a month you have to start stacking up wins
10:19otherwise it's going to get ugly because once people start losing hope in your ability to turn it
10:25around you'll be beheaded bottom line a lot of mistakes a lot of points left on the table and
10:32things that washington could have done better to come away with a win over the first two weeks
10:37commanders oh and two they fall 37 to 20 the dallas cowboys
10:41you
