00:00talking about the commander's latest loss play the music cakes they fall 20 to 13 and they have
00:06larger larger issues than the ending of the game but they absolutely fumbled another end of game
00:14situation who do you blame the most for what happened at the end of the game
00:22well i just i wish i knew what the play was supposed to be so i would i would lean
00:28david
00:28blau but jayden also has to throw the ball he can't throw the ball 15 yards in front of him
00:34to
00:34when you've got three seconds left i blame blau and quinn yeah when quinn hears a play that isn't
00:40going towards the the end zone that yeah it's a hailberry that isn't getting close that is pretty
00:47stupid dan quinn has to say sorry david blau you're kind of still new at this this is your first
00:52year
00:52calling plays i'm taking over that's what head coaches do but jayden also has to know i've got
00:57to throw the ball into the end zone i've got to get around the rush and somehow get the ball
01:02into
01:02the end zone because you've got no chance of winning when you throw it to chig and then chig doesn't
01:07know what he's doing he's he runs for 15 yards and then flips it all right back to the rams
01:12i mean
01:12desperation i honestly blame the the combo the it's a bad marriage it's like when kim kardashian
01:18married chris humphries and it lasted like three months former wizard yeah it's just it's just a bad
01:23marriage the blau uh and then you could even call it maybe she'll for three she's had a lot of
01:28bad
01:29marriages some sort of polyamorous thing with quinn blau and jayden polyamory it just doesn't work
01:34because we didn't have these problems the first two years i think blau deserves the most blame but i'm
01:40with you jayden's gotta know better how do you not take a shot into the end zone at the end
01:45of the game
01:46hey also i mean unless there was no receivers in the end zone can we stop with all these embarrassing
01:50end of game situations for the washington commanders like they're adding up throughout
01:55the season one of them against the giants who they're facing this upcoming week with obviously
01:59the you with the the clock ran out on jayden the the commanders were the laughing stock of the league
02:05for a couple weeks but again now they have a chance to rectify the other thing we haven't really talked
02:10about is that the play before that when he throws the ball down the middle to digs if digs catches
02:17that
02:17ball he's not getting into the end zone yeah the game would be over the time's running out
02:21well even before that digs caught the long ball when they started on with a five or six and he
02:25doesn't get a bounce i know this team at the end of games they they just continue to shoot themselves
02:31in the foot i put this up as our junkies poll of the day brought to you by surfside grab
02:35the surfside
02:36the tailgate must have real vodka only 100 calories and zero bubbles it's not a seltzer it's surfside must
02:42be 21 please drink responsibly clearly all three are responsible you have to vote who's the most
02:49responsible quinn blau jayden i would put it on blau because the play call if we're just going to
02:55go by that last play call and you watch it if the play was designed to go to chig it's
03:00got no shot
03:01it's got no shot and i don't think it was a hook and ladder play i hope that they ask
03:06him specifically
03:07that on tuesday or wednesday whenever they have the chance to speak to him because it's a shortened
03:13week you'll clearly a ladder was part of the equation you saw jayden hall it's a first have you
03:17ever seen jayden hall ass after i understand that but it wasn't a hook and ladder play there
03:23hook and lateral whatever you think that was in his own brain i said ladder oh sorry you said ladder
03:30yeah yeah yeah no i think i think jayden realized oh i we've got a score on this play so
03:36then he's
03:37so you think that was an afterthought it didn't look like your typical like a design thing to me he
03:41threw it and he went hall and ass after him to maybe i don't know but all his other receivers
03:45were
03:45in front of yeah yeah then that's the first ever design i've ever seen in the history of hooking
03:49lateral plays yeah yeah that are designed to lateral back to the quarterback blame quinn the most
03:55because when quinn hears in his headset that one of the plays is throwing chig six yards downfield
04:01and then he's gonna laugh i'm saying no no no we're not doing that yeah i'm the head coach this
04:05is all
04:05i'm doing by the way all i'm all i'm here for is to call timeouts and be good at the
04:10end of the games
04:10which we know he's not good at and he showed it again yesterday he needs to overrule blau and say
04:15jayden throw the ball into the end zone these are critical plays and i and they're worthy of discussion
04:22but it's just more emblematic of the failure of the offense in general right in jayden's rookie
04:29year when they had the miraculous run they were scoring almost 30 a game this year he's back and he's
04:33relatively healthy and they're scoring 21 you know why offense is not productive they don't score
04:40enough points they scored three points on their last nine possessions in 2024 you know what he did
04:45he ran the ball he ran the ball for 890 yards as a rookie you know what he's not going
04:49to do in
04:502026 run the ball for 890 yards or anything even close well i mean there has to be a happy
04:55defensive coordinators really didn't know him yet i'd like a medium they're game planning for him now
04:59rush for 450 yards to 500 but i will say this though you know these two teams are going in
05:05opposite directions with the giants and commanders yeah uh giants three games ahead of them this is
05:10clearly the season for the washington commanders but the thing that would concern me about washington's
05:14offense thursday is the fact that denaro wilson the defensive coordinator for the giants he
05:20he knows he's got to come after jayden sure and you can get to jayden so i think they're going
05:24to do a
05:25lot of what they did in the first game when they played here they're going to come after jayden big
05:29time well the especially the way avril reese uh played uh this past the offensive line has been a
05:33disaster it looks like there's more upheaval again at center we don't even know who's going to start
05:37at center um obviously the left tackle position has been in flux since tunsel went down uh jayden's under
05:43pressure 35 40 of the time not always making the correct decisions he's not able to get out of
05:49the pocket and take off and run yeah it's a it's it's one of those games this is one of
05:54those games
05:54where you look at the two teams the the giants seem to be more talented but in the most important
05:59position quarterback the commanders hold a huge talent lead over the giants yeah they do the giants
06:07individually either jay mccarthy who can't stay healthy and can't stay on the field or jamis
06:11winston who's dying to throw the ball to the other team and he can't wait to throw picks to the
06:17other
06:17team it's so that this is where jayden daniels has to elevate himself and his teammates and lead them
06:23to a win on the road or else season over to your point and earlier you said you said david
06:30blau was
06:31the most responsible you then changed it to dan quinn being the most responsible i said this
06:36i said this early on the show yeah to me if they lose this game on thursday bye bye dan
06:44quinn
06:45there's no reason to keep you around i wouldn't lose one scintilla of sleep if they fired dan quinn
06:52i don't think it's going to happen but like who are you going to hand the baton to david blau
06:57no one would care and nothing would change correct mid-season that's the only that's the
07:05one's going to salvage if you fired dq and you you bring somebody else in no one's going to
07:09salvage the season it's over it's over either way when it comes to that question i kind of rank it
07:13i'm with you dan quinn ultimately the most responsible yes david blau very responsible
07:20but maybe we're being a little too kind with jayden there have been multiple situations
07:26end of game against the giants the fourth down where he doesn't even throw it in the end zone
07:30throws it out of bounds and here where he doesn't throw it into the end zone yep well i said
07:36this
07:36earlier i would have been fine if jayden had said that's the worst play call i've ever heard
07:41i'm throwing the ball to the end zone that's why i say it's the marriage between blau and you can
07:50have these problems when cliff was here i don't disagree with you by the way he did have i believe
07:55bradley on the left yeah and digs on the right running to the end zone it appeared that antonio
08:03williams was running across her at about the 10 yard line he definitely was and then chig was running
08:07the shallow cross i don't care about all the schematics you know what they should have had
08:10they should have had four wide all running vertical right to the end zone it's a madden play
08:15yes you're right it's the easiest play call ever and they botched it all right let's go to
08:20the phones 1-800-636-1067 why does this keep happening to the washington commanders they botch
08:27end-of-game situations all right let's go to musa musa what's up you're on with the junkies
08:35hey guys thanks for always taking the calls and uh congratulations once again on the 30 years
08:40keep up the amazing work thanks man you know it we've been in these situations before unfortunately
08:48uh there was a lot of good things to take away from the game believe it or not uh but
08:53i think
08:53this is the game where we get back on track what what better game but against the giants the game
08:58we
08:58should have won and um defense is playing good enough to win the games for us it's offensively we
09:05just got to get into a rhythm and it's like you guys are saying it's the marriage with blau and
09:10i just don't see jayden playing the way he once did anymore he doesn't have that confidence um
09:16he's throwing the ball he missed a lot of open guys uh could put us in a better position to
09:22win
09:22the game i mean obviously our offensive coordinator has a big hand on that but against the giants we're
09:28going to get the ball rolling we're going to be able to run the ball i like eckler he's got
09:32his legs
09:33back um and everyone was questioning well we don't have enough receivers but no we do we have great
09:38receivers shakes finally getting involved in the offense i think we get enough to get it done to
09:44beat the giants i don't know i think you're crazy if you think they have great receivers i don't think
09:49we have great receivers but they might be good enough to beat a team like the giants the problem
09:53is the giants have a lot of similar characteristics defensively that the ran i'm sorry i know they have
09:59some monsters on defense that we're going to come after jayden i know the giants have five wins
10:03but i'm sorry the giants stink tell me when they've beaten a good team on this list of teams
10:08the cowboys titans the win in houston's a good texans and eagles texans have three wins all those
10:14teams i know but it's still a good win to go on the road and beat houston i mean i
10:17know based on
10:18standings no one's saying they're particularly good they're not i don't think they are their
10:21record's a bit fraudulent but they do have guys that can kill you likely will kill you i know
10:26neighbors will kill you defensively abdul carter uh arvel reese those guys will kill you but keep it
10:33simple as cake said earlier we have a major quarterback advantage yeah jay jay mccarthy
10:39shaky injury prone jamis winston turnover prone yeah you're right but it doesn't the giants don't
10:47make the end of game mistakes to lose games the one thing that we've learned this year is that
10:51jayden is not able for whatever reason i don't think it's because of a lack of ability i don't think
10:57his ability has changed from here to 24 he's not able to put the team on his shoulders and carry
11:02him to victories by himself he did that a bunch in 24 in 26 he's not able to do it
11:08part of it is
11:08to cakes's point what made jayden special is using his legs and he's not using them at least in the
11:13last three games well he hasn't used them he did against the giants i think he tries he tries three
11:17or four times a game and it just gets bottled up that you know the league has responded the league
11:23has
11:23reacted they try to keep them in the pocket i thought the the commanders running
11:27backs were terrible until i look at devin singletary's line from yesterday against the
11:31eagles he carried the ball 21 times for 31 yards yeah look they weren't great they had six points
11:37with two minutes and 36 seconds left in the third quarter such a beatable team it's such a winnable
11:42game true such a winnable game can washington beat anybody that's a great question that's the
11:46question can they beat anybody okay the giants are beatable are the washington are they good enough
11:50to beat the giants game it's a 50-50 game i'm just not sure they are i'm goofing on a
11:54five-win team
11:55we're talking about a two-win team yeah yeah that's the sad reality yeah they've had eight games
12:02so at the beginning of the year none of us would have predicted that washington would only have two
12:07wins even when we were looking at the schedule saying it was a tough schedule we wouldn't have
12:11had them with two wins three go look at my prediction i told you it was brutal i had him
12:16at 10 or 11 wins
12:18yeah you probably had him egg on my face you probably had him at five wins right now
12:21oh he's the only one easily all right let's go to mike in rockville mike what's up man you're on
12:27with the junkies yeah this is all jd man he has played elite football at college and in the nfl
12:35he got to know the rules of the game by now and i'm sure he does but he's got happy
12:40feet and nervous
12:40eyes i don't know how painful a dislocated elbow is but that man is not the same man he was
12:46in uh
12:46uh 2024 there's one person one person at the end of the day that is the general on that field
12:53that
12:53can make the right play at the right time and he's even on fourth and third down he's dumping the
12:58ball
12:58off 10 just 10 yards before the line of game it's all game long that he is spurring them
13:06jayden he's got to get his head right all right i think there's just there's just not a good
13:11communication or just not a good comfortability with him and blau on the offense look i would
13:16give him if i had to put the uh blame pie i'd put most of it on blau and quinn
13:22but jayden probably
13:23deserves 25 of it because he's right jayden's the guy who has the ball in his hand so on that
13:28last
13:28play instead of throwing a chick because he actually had protection there even though they were bringing
13:33a blitz if you look at it yeah he's in the pocket he has a clean pocket he gets rid
13:38of it take the shot
13:39to dig the problem is you'll never know even what was supposed to happen quinn says one thing jayden
13:44says something else yeah we don't even know to this we don't even know 25 hours later what was
13:49supposed to happen on that play and we won't know it's a complete well i hope that somebody asked
13:53blau and i'm assuming that blau will speak on wednesday explain that last play was that a hook
14:01and ladder hook and lateral or a version of it yeah yeah let's go to uh let me see here
14:08let's go to
14:09dave in dc dave what's up hey what's up fellas what's up yeah so we didn't have this problem in
14:152024 maryl kingsbury i mean we were dealing with a rookie quarterback we had new pieces in the scheme
14:20and we never had gaffes not one time like this it was always resiliency and to me it's a management
14:27issue you know it's a game management issue and obviously we don't have we don't have tonsil you
14:33know the offensive line is kind of gimpy you know the defense does play better but we had so many
14:38new
14:39pieces in 2024 and never had not one gaff actually that whole season so i look at it as a
14:45management
14:45issue yeah i kind of agree with you i think if if he had some sort of fatal situational awareness
14:52flaw
14:52it would have reared its head in 24 and in 25 in the limited action he had in 25 i
14:58think you know in
14:5920 some games or so we would have seen it this year we're seeing things pop up every game yeah
15:05and and to me that's a confidence thing that's part of it i'm sure to me it's just the whole
15:10system in general is not working it almost seemed from his answer this is my interpretation that he's
15:15almost a robot on that last play that the instruction is all right if you see all these guys on
15:21the line
15:21and they're showing blitz you're going to throw to chig and you're not really thinking that it is the
15:27end of the game and that's that may be a solid move with five minutes left on the clock but
15:33when
15:33there's a couple seconds on the clock you know it's the last play that's that's not the right
15:37you tell me blau didn't understand it was the basically the last play of the game i know i know
15:41blau did but maybe he's running that play to give the defense a certain look and then jane's got to
15:50take a shot on the outside guys which is really just digs and bradley which i don't love i mean
15:54with
15:55three seconds left i mean the giants all they got to do is play back in the end zone because
15:59even if chig catches the ball with nobody around him he's not going to score you're going to you're
16:03going to tackle him the hook and maybe they were just playing everybody back the hook and lateral
16:07play should not be in the mix unless they're trying to score from like their own 30 yard line
16:13they were like on the rams 30 yard line no that wasn't a hook and lateral it because a hook
16:19and
16:19lateral the receiver catches it and they're ready to dump it almost immediately right yeah they were
16:24trying to do what the patriots did at the end of the half a couple weeks ago they thought that
16:29if
16:29the eight guys you see on the line are coming after the quarterback and there's only three corners all
16:36back on the goal line that somehow a dump off pass if you're telling me what you're telling me is
16:41that
16:41david wow saw ramondre stevenson a couple weeks ago weave his way through was that the bears defense i
16:47can't remember who the opponent was is that the raiders no i don't think so but if if he saw
16:52the play
16:53and said wow that's a really good play the ramondre stevenson did where he weaved through
16:57seven or eight guys and said i'm going to incorporate that and use it at end of game
17:01that's a fireball i don't believe that play was an anomaly from stevenson i don't think they thought
17:07that chig was going to be some sick dancer with the football the last 20 yards that could not have
17:11been the game i don't believe that i refuse to believe that's the game plan all right let's go to
17:16that was against the bears yes zach what's up you're all the junkies
17:22zach last chance here bud
17:26all right that's a no for zach failed the test you can vote adjuncts radio so far it looks like
17:31most of the commanders fans are blaming david blau the most for what happened at the end of the game
17:39dan quinn right now getting about 27 percent david blau 46 percent and jayden but jayden getting almost
17:4628 percent of the blame for the end of the uh game to buy
