00:00People are emotional. At some point, I'm going to let Jeff talk. Jeff's really in his feelings.
00:04We're going to start, though. We're going to Chicago. Our guy, Dominic. What's up, Dom? How you holding up?
00:09I'm holding up great, man. You can't, Jeff, be a champion, man. Be a champion.
00:14But I can relate to all that, man. As far as the dislocated shoulder, Brian talking about his sister.
00:20Mine dislocated for years playing basketball, and I would stick my arm under my armpit and pop it back in
00:26to continue playing.
00:27And that went on for years. The same thing, that elbow. If there's no damage there, I think they can
00:33wrap it.
00:34They can give him pain management. We're still in practice this week. I don't know how to do the damages.
00:40I had this little, my elbow, but mine was fractured. And I had to get pins in it.
00:46The heels are not fractured. So the dislocation, I'm fine with that.
00:50I think, like my shoulder was, you can pop it in, give him pain management.
00:54He got a professional team. He got experts working with him. I had just me.
00:59You know what I mean?
01:00So I think it's great.
01:02Dom, I don't mean this dismissively. It's much different for you playing pickup sports or whatever versus Jaden trying to
01:09play in the NFL.
01:10If they could have popped it back in and given them some pain meds, they would have done that in
01:14the second half.
01:15This is more severe than that. Maybe you can get to a place where you manage it, but this is
01:20more severe than that.
01:20But they popped back in on that sideline. Right. Before he got on the sideline. But the thing of it
01:25is, like, right at that moment, I understand what you're saying about he's in the pros, but it will come
01:31to a point where the pain is going to be what you got to deal with.
01:35Certainly. But I think it has to stop happening.
01:37Yeah. Probably ain't going to just stop happening. That's why I'm saying that brace is going to have to be
01:42a part of the game plan moving forward.
01:47We don't know enough, right? Like, medically, we're going to have a doctor on. Dan Quinn's going to talk to
01:52the media today at 3 o'clock.
01:54I imagine he's not going to provide much of an update unless they know they have to shut him down
01:58because, like, we saw that. Shut him down is the wrong term.
02:01Unless they know he needs an IR stent or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:05But, like, generally with MRIs, you can't even do them until the swelling goes down.
02:11I don't even know if the swelling would be down by now.
02:13Now, they've iced it overnight and all of the things, but, like, if I had to guess, he's probably getting
02:18an MRI sometime this afternoon.
02:20Does that sound about right to you? Would it be this morning?
02:22It could be this morning.
02:25Young people, stuff's going down a little quicker than us.
02:28Say it like that.
02:30Let's go to our guy Zeke is in Southeast.
02:32Zeke, how are you feeling this morning?
02:33This, last week didn't feel like a misery Monday.
02:36Today does.
02:39Today definitely feels like a misery Monday.
02:41But, um, can you hear me?
02:44We got you, Greg.
02:45Yeah, we got you, dude.
02:46Oh, okay.
02:47Yeah, yeah.
02:48Of course, everybody's disappointed, but I'm just so, I'm just thankful that it wasn't as thrown on.
02:54At least we got a chance of him coming back for some part later in the season.
02:58Because, uh, now people are talking about the, you know, with two and gone for the, um, touchdown.
03:04Of course, man, because we're playing Dallas.
03:06I was more disappointed, not at the injury, but with the defense.
03:10Oh, my God.
03:11I've never seen, why do we give Dallas receivers and quarterbacks more respect?
03:16JT, I wanted you to look at, what was the, uh, our, um, last year you looked at the pressure
03:22rate on the Eagles.
03:23What was the pressure rate for us going against the Cowboys?
03:27I'd have to pull it, but Dak was not under a lot of pressure.
03:30Javon Kinlaw got his first sack in a commander's uniform, though.
03:33Mm-hmm.
03:34Yeah, it seemed like we pressured the Eagles.
03:36They had two sacks in that game.
03:37We laid that.
03:38Chase on and Kinlaw.
03:40Honestly, you look back at the Eagles game, and Landon Dickerson went on IR after that game, and you wonder
03:45how much of that was the Eagles O-line was really banged up.
03:49I thought the Cowboys O-line was pretty good yesterday.
03:51Um, I think they still sent their blitz packages and stuff.
03:55I also, I recognize that Dak has not had success in the playoffs, period.
04:00Dak's good and torches this team.
04:03And it happened.
04:04He torches the whole NFC East.
04:05Dude, I've been in Dallas for so many disasters and ass kickings.
04:11That place is, you can just look at the numbers, man.
04:14They're 2-11 in the last, whatever that is, 13 games down there.
04:19In the Dak Prescott era, Dallas has been a real problem for Washington.
04:25Um, I want to let folks talk.
04:26Mark is in Kensington.
04:28What's up, Mark?
04:29Hey, bud.
04:30How you doing, man?
04:31I'm good, man.
04:31How are you?
04:32Good.
04:33I, uh, I rinsed my emotions out last night, and I'm, uh, very calm today.
04:38And I'll be just, I'm with you, Brian.
04:39We don't know enough yet on what's happening with his arm.
04:43Um, I think somebody said something earlier, but, you know, you guys remember when Matt Stafford got his shoulder
04:48left shoulder, knocked out, and came back in and threw a touchdown and won the game.
04:53So, you know, the extent of it.
04:55Yeah, and we've got 80% of the season left, 15 games left.
05:00There's, there's, there's solutions to everything.
05:03And so, I'm not overreacting.
05:05Let's just see how he's doing, and we'll make the adjustments.
05:09I think he played brilliantly, brilliantly, to get him back in that game.
05:14And I'm just praying that things are, things are okay, and he's back in the saddle.
05:18So, next week, or, you know, or the week after, or whatever.
05:21That's it.
05:21Appreciate the call, Mark.
05:22Appreciate it, brother.
05:24What is, is there, is there a B-Mitch gut feel on severity here, on how much time he's going
05:30to miss?
05:30No, I mean, no, I'm not going to sit up there and speculate.
05:33I get pissed at everybody for doing it.
05:34So, no, I don't know.
05:36Let's go to Max's in Richmond.
05:39What's up, Max?
05:41Hey, guys.
05:42But, you know, I don't really have a problem with the decision to go.
05:47I mean, I thought the field goal was a no-brainer in that situation.
05:50But I don't really, you know, I don't really have a problem with being aggressive.
05:53Or the play call, you ought to be able to execute a drop back without, you know, falling down.
05:57I mean, so, I have no problem with that.
05:59But I just think we're at a point with Jaden, you know, I think we're at a point with Jaden
06:06where what we've got is a really, really talented guy who's just very, very fragile.
06:11I mean, that's just about – I saw him at the podium at the Eagles game.
06:16Without his equipment on, he looks like a little kid.
06:19He does.
06:20And, you know, he's a great player.
06:22Love the guy.
06:23Love the guy.
06:24But this is a beat-up fan base.
06:27This is a – I know we don't believe, we don't practice, I get it, we don't sweat, but we
06:31invest a lot of emotional capital.
06:33At this point, I'm going to detach a little bit emotionally from this.
06:37I mean, I know you have to like that as bad for business, but, you know, I think that's pretty
06:41much what we're looking at at this point.
06:43I get it, man.
06:44You're down in the dumps.
06:46I think the entire fan base is – I appreciate the call, Max.
06:50Yeah.
06:51I walked in this morning.
06:52I'm going to let Jeff talk.
06:53I mean, I've seen Jeff a lot of mornings.
06:56We've been doing this a lot of years, a lot of ugly losses.
06:59Jeff, you're about as defeated as I've ever seen you, bro.
07:02You're a happy, upbeat, happy-go-lucky guy.
07:04And Jeff's playing slow jams and in his feelings right now.
07:09I think yesterday, it don't even have nothing to do with the play call.
07:14It don't have nothing to do with the score.
07:17I just think the luck of this franchise, it just – it sucks right now.
07:24And I was talking to some of my friends because I even called some people.
07:29Like, I was distraught yesterday.
07:32And they felt the same way I felt.
07:34This is the saddest thing that happened.
07:39Like, I know it happened last year, but it just seemed like, I guess,
07:42because he was doing so well right before the injury, it was so promising,
07:46and it just was snatched away.
07:48It was snatched away.
07:49And that hurt as a fan.
07:52But I'm not giving up.
07:53Of course, I'm going to be dramatic.
07:54I just seen my boy arm bend awkwardly.
07:57Of course, I'm going to be dramatic.
07:59But I just hope, you know, he come back this season,
08:02we get back on track to where we were.
08:06Yeah.
08:07I mean, Rashad White, Jaden's teammate, this morning at 8.53 a.m.
08:11tweeted out with a heart – a broken heart emoji,
08:14please tell me it was a bad dream and a crying emoji.
08:18That's his teammate that was out there that I talked to last night after the game.
08:22Like, that – it's okay.
08:24I need to feel emotional right now.
08:26What happened yesterday sucks because you've got a young man that invested his life,
08:32his career, his time, his effort, his passion into making it back from all these injuries.
08:37And I think through a game and a half, we saw a different player that recognized,
08:45yo, for me to succeed in this league, I do have to change some of the stuff I do.
08:49I do have to approach this game differently and take less contact.
08:53That was an organizational decision.
08:56I'm talking from corner offices to cubicles.
09:01Everybody's like, yo, let's rework this where Jaden's not taking as many shots.
09:04You saw a coaching change, an offense change.
09:07You saw all of these things happen.
09:09And then for – listen, quarterbacks get stepped on.
09:12That happens.
09:13Very rarely does it end up with a dislocated elbow and the cart coming out.
09:17Like, this series of fluky events that transpired, it's just like, damn it.
09:24Like, how is this all happening?
09:26That's what it was, JP.
09:27Like, for the first time in my life, I genuinely wanted to cry about football.
09:31Like, the only other time I ever cried genuinely was the death of Sean Taylor.
09:37But yesterday, I genuinely wanted to cry.
09:39Like, I got – I just stopped watching the game.
09:41I left it on.
09:42It was just like ambiance noise at that point.
09:44I was just cooking, just pissed off.
09:48Yeah, and the flukiness of different things.
09:51Like, if you look at the Laramie Tunsil injury, fluky.
09:58Nobody did anything that was any different than you ever seen on a one-on-one pass rush.
10:03And boom, he's out for damn near the whole year.
10:06You know, so – and that's why when I look at stuff like that,
10:10the size of a person don't mean a difference.
10:12In football, we said he was doing everything he's been told to do,
10:15everything to protect himself, and still something can happen.
10:20That's the weirdness of football.
