00:00And I don't think it plays to his strength.
00:02And so I think instead, you're kind of getting the worst of both worlds between what Daniel
00:06struggles with and what Blau might be struggling with.
00:08And the result has been Jaden not pushing the ball downfield as much as he could.
00:13The result has been getting to the line pretty slow.
00:15And that doesn't help when you've got pre-snap pedal take concerns.
00:19And it makes your offense pretty predictable.
00:21I think that was one of the more underrated facets of Cliff Kingsbury's play calling is
00:25that in Washington in particular, that run game was solid.
00:29And part of that is because Jaden was working as a designed runner as well.
00:33That is not a part of this David Blau offense outside of one or two plays a game.
00:38And so having Jaden under center where I know he says he can do it, I don't think he's as
00:42comfortable.
00:43I don't think he has the same level of command of this offense either.
00:48And so he's able to get bluffed when you hear them talk about the last play of the game last
00:52week.
00:52The Rams just bluffed a blitz and Jaden made the check and the Rams won.
00:57And like, they were not actually bringing zero coverage.
01:00He thought they were, they didn't.
01:01And so it just seems like every step of the way, it's just a mismatch of what Jaden does
01:05best and what David Blau wants to implement.
01:07And so I think Jaden Daniels is a great quarterback.
01:09I think David Blau could blossom into a solid play caller one day.
01:14I definitely don't think he's there now.
01:15And Jaden said it yesterday.
01:16He's like, look, we have growing pains.
01:18That's to be expected with a play caller.
01:20And that's not him taking a shot.
01:22That's kind of facing the reality of what this offense has been.
