00:00I did want to put, I haven't heard this yet, John Allen talking about why he's no longer
00:06in Washington.
00:07Landon, but what's the outlet?
00:09Where are we getting this from?
00:10Rich Eisen.
00:11Okay.
00:12He was on the Rich Eisen show.
00:14Okay.
00:15John Allen with Rich Eisen talking about leaving Washington.
00:17I mean, in the NFL, it's very hard to play your entire career all in one year, you know,
00:22new regime came in.
00:23They had a path that they wanted to follow, but I wasn't a part of that.
00:26So, I mean, I got to give them a lot of credit for doing me a favor, or at least when they
00:29did, but you know, things just didn't work out for whatever reason, but super excited,
00:35super, super excited to be part of those new team and reunited coach O'Connell and yeah.
00:41I think that's pretty fair, man.
00:43Like nothing wrong with that.
00:45He's not upset that they did things the right way by letting them go.
00:48Yeah.
00:49Um, it's the business of football, man.
00:51100% how it rolls and you can't sit there and sulk over it.
00:55You got to move on, man.
00:57Yeah.
00:58Um, we got one more John Allen talking about Jaden Daniels.
01:04I think he's a real deal.
01:05Um, I know what we see on Sundays, all the things that he does, but what you don't see
01:08is the work he puts in.
01:09First one in the building, last one on the draw, the cliche thing that you always want
01:13your quarterback to do.
01:14And on top of that, man, he just got ice in his veins, man.
01:17It's just unfazed.
01:18Yeah.
01:19His mentality really reminds me of Jalen Hurst a little bit.
01:23I think we all look at Jalen Hurst.
01:24So it doesn't show a lot of emotion, good, bad, or indifferent.
01:27I see a lot of similar things in Jaden Daniels.
01:31Me too.
01:32I think John's just telling the truth, right?
01:35Yeah.
01:36100%.
01:37I mean, the thing about it, a lot of time when you hear a guy talking, once he leaves
01:43the team, you expect other stuff.
01:45But John hasn't been that guy before.
01:47And he only started in Vietnam.
01:49You know what was funny?
01:50We talked about this yesterday, that some of the folks we've heard from Houston have
01:54said Tunsil's not the best leader.
01:56And I think somewhere along the way in the NFL, the guys that kind of get paid the most
02:03are assumed to be leaders.
02:05And you're not paid for leadership.
02:07You're paid to play well.
02:08Yeah.
02:09And I think leadership is a natural thing.
02:13Dan Quinn had a great line about Wagner today.
02:15And he's like, listen, I love that Bobby's a leader.
02:18That's great.
02:19But the first part of it is that he's a really good football player.
02:23Everything else becomes kind of secondary or tertiary to, do you make plays on the field?
02:30And I think John, because of the power of the marketing department under previous regimes,
02:38I think John sometimes was a victim of, oh, he's a local guy with a military story.
02:45We got to get John out there.
02:47You know what I mean?
02:48They took advantage of that type of stuff.
02:50Yeah.
02:51And these guys didn't.
02:54He wasn't forced to be captain and all that stuff.
02:58Not forced to be captain, but Dan Quinn doesn't even do the season-long captains
03:04because he's not doing anything for clicks or human interest stories.
03:14You know what I mean?
03:15Yeah.
03:16Yeah.
03:17And I think just so much of that happened previously.
03:21A lot of it.
03:22I mean, and the thing, it was always them putting the pressure elsewhere,
03:27but they were the ones doing all the crap to have the pressure always on the good players any damn way.
03:32Right.
