00:00Uh, big game coming up at the commanders on Sunday.
00:02Now, we don't know right now if Jaden Daniels is going to play, which sucks because we want
00:07to see Caleb versus Jaden Daniels one versus two.
00:09Um, I like the bears coach, whether Daniels plays or not.
00:13And the latest report said Daniels will try and practice with the rib injury tomorrow
00:17on Friday.
00:18I like the bears no matter what, if it's Mariota and if it's like a compromise Jaden Daniels
00:23here, how do you see it playing out?
00:25And just for reference, the bears are about a three point road favorite right now.
00:29So if you like the bears, do you think they can win by more than three points?
00:32Uh, I, you know what, I, I'm on the bears right now.
00:36I got less than three when I, uh, when I decided to jump on them a little bit, but I'll tell
00:41you what, I'm going to agree with you, Nick.
00:43I mean, you know, yes, the game got moved, uh, you know, the late game prime time because
00:48of the quarterback duel and that's probably, it may happen, but if it does, I don't think
00:53it's going to be what people thought it was take the quarterbacks out of it and the bears
00:59have a better football team.
01:01The bears have a better defense.
01:02The bears got better skill guys as a group.
01:06And so I, the bears got, I think special teams, the punter for the bears, the rookie, uh,
01:11Tory Taylor.
01:12I mean, you guys should make the pro bowl.
01:13The guy's phenomenal.
01:14We got a very good kicker.
01:16So my point is the bears right now are playing with a lot of confidence as Washington is,
01:22but I think the bears top to bottom are the best team and the bears win regardless of
01:27what happens at quarterback.
01:29So now, you know, you say, okay, what's going to happen when Daniels doesn't play, you know,
01:33Marcus Mariota, I was doing Fox college football when he was at Oregon and he won the Heisman.
01:39We know that they were in the college football playoffs and all that.
01:42And the offense that they ran at Oregon at the time, uh, was, was really the, the run
01:48pass option.
01:49Okay.
01:50And that's what they're doing now in Washington with Cliff Kingsbury, the offensive coordinator.
01:55So the, usually when your backup comes in, he's a lot better athlete than the starter.
02:01So you got to adjust some plays there, or he can't run.
02:05And the starter was an athlete.
02:06So now you got to adjust your package and go to more drop back passes.
02:10Well, the good thing for Washington, Marcus Mariota, they don't have to change a thing.
02:16They don't have to change any running plays.
02:17They don't have to change any passing plays.
02:19The only big difference is, you know, you got a phenomenal athlete in Jaden Daniels
02:25and Mariota can't run like that.
02:26He never could.
02:27And now, obviously he's a few years older, but as far as the scheme itself, uh, no change
02:34is necessary.
02:35Let's just go out and play.
02:36And I think that was evident when, in the last game, when they were playing and Mariota
02:41didn't miss a beat when he got in there, the offense just kept, kept trucking along.
