SportsTranscript
00:00acting to a 20-13 home loss to the L.A. Rams
00:04that was largely dominated by two men, Puga Nakua and Miles Garrett.
00:09Not to say that Aaron Donald didn't have something to do with it.
00:12He was giving people hell.
00:15The Rams defense is good.
00:16I like that guy, Landman, linebacker.
00:19Emmanuel Forbes, to his credit, showed some real physicality.
00:23That hit on Rashad White was...
00:25I mean, Emmanuel Forbes got a roughing penalty, B.
00:28Is there a day you ever would have guessed that?
00:30It kind of led a little late with his head, though.
00:33With his face.
00:34The game, obviously...
00:35I mean, he said so afterwards.
00:37Like, yeah, I had this one circled.
00:38They cut me.
00:39I wanted to come back here.
00:41You cut you.
00:41They didn't cut you.
00:42You cut you.
00:42You were horrible when you were here.
00:44All right.
00:44I want to let the folks on the phones weigh in.
00:46My guy, Jim, from the chat.
00:48Jim, what's up, dude?
00:52Well, Dean Rich Finley, Aquarium Boys, how y'all doing today?
00:56We're good, man.
00:58Well, JP, man, and D-Mix, you all know.
01:02JP, you're spot on.
01:04I hear people saying, oh, you know, give them time.
01:07It's a new system.
01:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:09It's November.
01:11This is the time for you to be hitting your stride.
01:14And I think the team is just showing you who they are at this point.
01:19If we're doing Blame Pie, I'm going to give 95 to AP and 5 to DQ.
01:25DQ for sure, because the team just looks so lost out there, undisciplined, poorly coached.
01:32Situational awareness is zero.
01:33Like, I just haven't seen anything like this in a while.
01:37But I need people to stop with the whole, Jalen needs to be more aggressive and pickless.
01:43If Jalen throws three or four picks like May or Caleb, we're losing 55 to 10 at halftime.
01:51I don't want to hear that anymore.
01:53That falls on AP.
01:55He is constructing this roster.
01:56He made his bed with the center position and the offensive line.
02:00I get there's been injuries, but he just simply has not surrounded Jalen with enough talent to compete.
02:07And it's just very infuriating that we're wasting this rookie contract.
02:10I get the season isn't over yet technically, but boy, we're running out of time fast, guys.
02:16So I appreciate y'all taking the call.
02:18It'd be easy.
02:19Thanks, Jim.
02:19It's getting laid early, man.
02:20He's not wrong about that.
02:22Yep.
02:22800-636-1067.
02:25800-636-1067.
02:27We're also giving away a pair of tickets for Kings of Leon, Saturday, May 8th.
02:31That's coming up at noon.
02:32I like Kings of Leon.
02:34You know the name of their biggest hit, B?
02:35What?
02:36Sex on Fire.
02:37Mm.
02:38You know, if you have sex on fire, that's not a good thing.
02:41You're not getting extinguisher.
02:42That hurts.
02:44Lee is in North Carolina.
02:45What's up, Lee?
02:47Good day.
02:48Thanks, Jim.
02:49McCormick.
02:49I didn't know I found a heading back.
02:50I didn't know I found a coming from this game yesterday.
02:53They're disappointed.
02:54Dan Quinn does not have no sense of urgency.
02:57What's going on with his team and his tenure in D.C.
03:02Every week, 73 and 74 is being called for a false start, which is just unbelievable.
03:10Turnstiles are just saying people are selling their tickets left and right,
03:14trying to go into a new build in 2030.
03:17If they keep going this way, it's not going to be good for them.
03:20I ain't seen them, but blue jerseys had this game yesterday.
03:24And behind these seats, you know, people sell their seats, you know,
03:26they get a little gift away.
03:28And, man, it was unbelievable.
03:29To your point, I didn't know that many Rams fans existed.
03:33And I think a lot of people, since they won the Super Bowl,
03:36kind of jumped on the bandwagon.
03:37But I was quite surprised by the amount of Rams fans.
03:43Yes, yes, I'm on the subway, like, oh, my goodness, are you serious?
03:48Again, you know, like I said, people are selling tickets left and right,
03:52and it's unbelievable.
03:53It was a beautiful day.
03:54And come out on the second half, his defense, I don't know what he was thinking about.
03:59I know you may have put in the coolant like an All-American.
04:01They went down there and scored us in a minute on us.
04:03And we got the ball back.
04:05And that third and two or third and three on Eckler, play corner was abysmal.
04:10So, you know, I don't know if that got something to do with Quinn, Blau, whoever,
04:14but this team did not show a sense of urgency in a lot of games.
04:17And the Edwin-Florida games, you can see how it's going.
04:20And you had your chance to win this yesterday.
04:22Now, I understand what you guys say about Miles Garrett.
04:24You know, he did okay yesterday.
04:26He got to the quarterback.
04:27I wasn't impressed by what he did.
04:29You know, we –
04:29You weren't impressed by Garrett yesterday?
04:32No, I wasn't.
04:32No, I wasn't.
04:33He did what he was supposed to do.
04:34And it goes back to the offensive line.
04:36They're hideous.
04:37Hideous, man.
04:39You know, that's 73 on the team.
04:4073 and – I don't know the guy's name.
04:4273 and 74 every game, false start, false start.
04:46And they're hurting us big time.
04:48And so, the coach is not doing anything about to replace these guys.
04:51That's up to them.
04:52You know what I'm saying?
04:53So, and that's where the season is going to be.
04:56If we lose Thursday night, if we lose Thursday night,
04:59Quinn might as well go and get his team.
05:01We got a team with Mike Tomlin come back here.
05:04Call John Leahy.
05:05All right, Lee.
05:06Appreciate you, man.
05:07All right, bro.
05:08I thought of something.
05:10For a moment, I'm going to give Ryan Clary, Mr. Locked On,
05:15Stallion over there, give him a little credit.
05:17I think it was two weeks ago we did our GOAT segment,
05:20best player in the NFL.
05:21Uh-huh.
05:21And Stallion said Miles Garrett,
05:23and we said he hasn't played in six weeks.
05:24You can't use him.
05:26Garrett looked pretty damn good yesterday.
05:28Anyway, in his return, I don't know how my man says he's not impressed by Miles Garrett.
05:32That is a bridge too far for me.
05:35Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:37Garrett is a monster.
05:38Let's go to Jim is in Tyson.
05:41What's up, Jim?
05:43Hey, guys.
05:44I love your program.
05:45It's really been helping me getting around the region when I drive.
05:47I appreciate it.
05:48Thank you, bro.
05:50I would say, you know, it's amazing.
05:52I don't hear this much, but I'm going to say 66, Adam Peterson.
05:56Adam Peters, excuse me, 33% the rest.
05:59The reality is I'm kind of tired of hearing people blame Dan Quinn for pre-snap penalties.
06:06I really am.
06:08I mean, it's not like he and Blau aren't out there working with them on this constantly.
06:15It's the quality of the team and kind of it's the chemistry.
06:18When I look at this team right now, I'm looking for picks for three years.
06:23And if people think that Sonny Stiles and Jaden are great picks by Adam Peters, anybody could have picked either
06:29Drake May or Jaden Peters.
06:31Any general manager would have picked that.
06:34And literally, I'm sitting here as a season ticket holder for 30 years, and I'm looking at this, and I'm
06:39saying,
06:39this is like going to be Dan Snyder all over again.
06:43We're going to have another rebuild.
06:46This team, and you're right, there are injuries, but I don't see a continuity in this team to be able
06:51to compete next year.
06:53And it's really frustrating.
06:55It is frustrating, man.
06:57Appreciate the call, dude.
06:58Thank you, Jim.
06:59Thanks for listening.
07:01The players, the word I heard the most yesterday was frustrating.
07:06The players are frustrated.
07:07Quinn's obviously frustrated.
07:09He opened his remarks yesterday saying that's a frustrating game.
07:13And I think it's frustrating because they did enough defensively to get a win.
07:18Yeah.
07:19They did enough.
07:20They did.
07:20And it's almost compounded by the last play of the game with the ball not going to the end zone.
07:27Just give your team a chance to win it.
07:31And Jaden made very clear that the underneath route to Chig was what was called.
07:35You have to assume there's a ladder for the hook.
07:40Yeah.
07:40It didn't seem like that player was there.
07:42Then Jaden's trying to sprint down there to give him an opportunity, which I cannot imagine that was the design
07:49for the quarterback to get the ladder.
07:51Yeah, he's trying to make up something.
07:54I don't know.
07:56People killed Jaden in San Fran on fourth down.
08:00Then he went to the end zone.
08:01Went to Burks.
08:02Gave him a chance.
08:03People are saying, you know, everybody wants Jaden to be audibly more, I guess.
08:08Like, if that's the play call, I don't understand how you can take the ball out of his hands.
08:12But that game was lost throughout the second half.
08:16He didn't have a single first down in the third quarter.
08:19Like, you want to boil it down to one play, I can't get there.
08:23I understand that it's easier to process that, right?
08:27Like, oh, man, came down to this play.
08:29They were down seven.
08:30They needed a score from the 30 and kick the extra point.
08:33None of that's a given.
08:35No.
08:36Drew Stevens is below league average in extra points.
08:38Yeah.
08:39So, like, there's a lot of layers to that.
08:41Our guy Shane is in Fairfax.
08:44Shane, what's up, dude?
08:46What's up, all ears?
08:47What's up, B-Mitch?
08:47How y'all doing today?
08:48We're good, man.
08:49We're good, man.
08:50Hey, look, this is a good football team.
08:51They're just a poor coach football team.
08:53There's a difference.
08:54Let's call it what it is.
08:54And that last caller, you can clean up pre-snap penalties.
08:57That's a fact you can do.
08:58It's called practice.
08:59And, you know, I'm over this coaching staff.
09:02Dan Quinn made a poor exec decision.
09:05We and he and our two rookie offensive, defensive coaches, when he knew this was his year.
09:11And, unfortunately, it costs his job.
09:14And that's it.
09:15And at this point, we need to be sellers.
09:17And I'm so frustrated, by the way.
09:20Go Vols.
09:21All those Kentucky fans out there said they're going to roll us.
09:24Go Vols, baby.
09:25Yeah, they look good, man.
09:26Appreciate the call, Shane.
09:31Quinn certainly made his bet.
09:33And it was an aggressive play.
09:36You know, you wonder, there was a report towards the end of last season that Adam Peters and Cliff Kingsbury
09:42were no longer even speaking.
09:44You wonder if the decision to move on from Cliff wasn't solely Quinn's.
09:49And I don't know that, but I know that was a report, right?
09:52That Cliff and Peters weren't speaking by the end of the season.
09:56I know there was a lot of frustration within the building after the Minnesota game when they didn't run the
10:03ball down near the goal line.
10:05And then, you know, Jaden gets hurt.
10:07A lot of moving parts there.
10:09But to go with Blau, I get you're worried about losing him.
10:14But it was a gutsy move by Dan Quinn.
10:18And we'll see if it pays off.
10:20As of right now, it probably hasn't.
10:22But I don't know that Blau's definitively the problem, but we do know at 2-5-1, it's not the
10:29answer.
10:29Yeah, there is a problem.
10:30Hell yeah.
10:32Let's go to Uzman up in New York.
10:34What's up, Uzzi?
10:37What's going on, guys?
10:40Man, this is frustrating.
10:41I think it boils down to this.
10:43If you ask me before the game, what are the reasons we're at?
10:47Well, on defense, they have a lethal defensive line, right?
10:50They got Garrett and Donald.
10:52And on offense, they have Puka.
10:53It seems like everybody knew that except the coaching staff.
10:57Because Puka went off.
10:59And Donald and Garrett feasted.
11:01And I think that's the frustrating thing, is that week after week, we're just like,
11:05did the coaching staff know how to prepare for this game?
11:07You know, it's clear that Blau doesn't really have an identity.
11:11And they think he's an in over his head.
11:12I mean, the defense did not have McDuffie and Jalen Watson.
11:18And you would have thought that they did.
11:20Because they didn't stretch out the defense at all.
11:22I think the average depth of target was like negative five yards, it seemed like.
11:26We didn't test the defense at all.
11:28And we were in situations where the protection plan was so bad.
11:32You had like Miles Garrett going up against Matt Goldman like one-on-one.
11:37So clearly, they were not prepared for like a moving spot.
11:39That was a creative part, Chris Shula.
11:41But yeah, you're right.
11:42They were not prepared for that.
11:45Right.
11:45So it's just frustrating that week after week, we're stuck in this situation.
11:48And I was watching the Bears game last night.
11:51Caleb threw four picks, and the team still won.
11:54Like, they still had a shot.
11:56And I'm just like, man, it just sucks that Jaden Daniels is anchored to this horrible
12:02cooking staff, and it seemed like his development is stunted because we're just
12:07force-feeding Dan Quinn and his disciples down his throat.
12:11So I don't know, man.
12:12It's frustrating.
12:13I have tickets to the game on Thursday, and now I'm questioning whether or not I
12:17should go.
12:17But like you said on Twitter, JP, it's a must-win.
12:21If not, season's over.
12:23If it's not already over, which it's all it is.
12:25Appreciate you, man.
12:26It's frustrating.
12:27You're not incorrect.
12:28In fact, if you have tickets, maybe go back.
12:32What do you got better doing?
12:33Yeah, yeah, go.
12:34Terry is in Danville.
12:36What's up, Terry?
12:38Hey, how's it going, guys?
12:39Doing good, man.
12:40Thanks for taking my call.
12:42Yes, I believe that on defense, you brought in an advisor, and it showed yesterday that
12:49that's not going well.
12:51You have one guy to stop, and you have a whole week to plan for it.
12:56All you do is you, even if the guy's in motion, you let them know, we're going to double him.
13:03You have to fall off safely.
13:04You get him, you know, on either side or whatever, and then you come down to eight seconds left,
13:10and the guy throws, dump the ball off five yards, and you want to do a pitch pat?
13:15I mean, I just think it's time for Dan Quinn to be relieved of his duties, and we need
13:22to go get Kurt Cignetti, somebody, and give him some power with the personnel, because
13:27we don't do a very good job at drafting.
13:30And no disrespect to anyone, I just feel like it's time to move on and get somebody in there
13:37that wants to win, because ever since 2024 championship game, we've been playing not
13:43to lose instead of playing to win.
13:45Thanks for the call, Terry.
13:47Appreciate you.
13:48All right, brother.
13:49I don't know about Kurt Cignetti right now, though.
13:52Some college coaches are not just made for the pros.
13:55I mean, his mentor was Saban, who wasn't made for the pros.
13:58Alas.
13:58I'm just saying, man.
13:59I did ask Quinn towards the end of his presser, could you have done something else to try to
14:06contain Puka Nakua?
14:08Because it's easy for us to say, like, oh, man, Puka killed him.
14:12Was there something else they could try?
14:14Dan Quinn.
14:15You can.
14:15And I do like their screen package.
14:18Sean's had a good one.
14:19Running backs, tight ends.
14:20They tried the tight end one, the running backs to go.
14:22So there'll be some that we'll want back when we call, like, a cloud to a certain player.
14:28Man-to-mans, it's harder unless you're doubling someone.
14:31But in the zones, it can be challenging due to Matthew's ability to deliver the ball to
14:37the right location.
14:37And so that can be true in zone where, like, if quarterback knows right where to go, that's
14:43hard.
14:43But still 150 is still 150.
14:47You think there's something else they could have done with Nakua?
14:49Well, I don't know.
14:51Like, I'm telling you, Sean was very damn creative the way he got the ball to him.
14:56Like, you may be able to limit him some on his touches, but you're not going to completely
15:01stop him from getting the football unless you're going to go handcuff him to the damn place
15:05he's at.
15:05Because he's getting the ball in the backfield.
15:07You can't stop a running back from touching the football.
15:10And he's getting the ball where the running back gets it a lot.
15:13They're running all types of different players with him.
15:14You can't have people spying on him.
15:16Don't necessarily mean that spy is going to be able to stop him the whole game.
15:19Like, when you look at Nakua's numbers, because I talked to a lot of the players last week
15:23about Puka.
15:24I was just curious.
15:25He's a different kind of cat at receiver.
15:28He's a different kind of matchup, right?
15:30And I was just asking about it.
15:31They're like, we cannot allow him to have the big gains.
15:33We cannot allow the yak.
15:34We can't allow him to break tackles.
15:3714 catches on 19 targets.
15:3914 for 150.
15:40So, he's averaging about 10 yards a catch.
15:44Maybe it's 10.5 or whatever that might be.
15:47Like, his longest catch was 21 yards.
15:50It wasn't downfield.
15:51Yeah, yeah.
15:52But he still just killed it.
15:53Yeah, and that's the thing about it.
15:54Like, you know, we hear now a lot of fans saying, well, Jaden should take more shots.
15:59You don't have to take shots to win games.
16:02The Rams showed you that yesterday.
16:03They didn't take many deep shots.
16:05They throw the ball.
16:06And, like, we got to get back to the point where just having big plays is not what makes football
16:12fun.
16:13Getting a first down after first down after first down and scoring a damn touchdown, that's fun.
16:18But you don't have to just have big plays.
16:20They don't have to do even if you've got to do for a kind of uno'sんなさい.
16:20Those of us, many of us can do both kaufen.
16:20I remember a lot of people on those intéressflops and there's like a lot of shrubs.
16:20I think it's nothing going to be a big farm.
16:21So, we're going to look there, you know, and then that's not how much more I think.
