Victory Monday | Episode 49

he really settled in. And you know he talks about a lot of it. It's timing, it's chemistry with your receivers. Fred, we saw him be able to get in sync there later in the game. Well. Even a great thing about him as a backup. He has a relationship with everybody on the team already and especially with Tear Meglan, listen, if I want to keep my job, I'm gonna throw

the ball to tear like he makes it easy. And when you have a guy on the outside like that, and you can see they passion when they talk, when they go up before the play, after the play, in constant communication. He has the post of this team. This is the best situation we could ever have. He's not a backup and he's a start. He just right around thirty five thirty four when he comes into it. And

what's the challenge for that logan? You're an offense trying to catch balls when the quarterbacks keep shifting to be able to try and be in sync. Obviously at SUSK if everyone has a different style, right in terms of how they throw the ball, how the ball comes out of your hand, Like there's times where you catch a ball from a left handered quarterbackers the right hand quarterback. It's different ball valos these different so getting adjusted that's

a big deal. But like Fred said, he's been in the building, he's caught balls, or these receivers have caught balls from Taylor and you can tell it took Taylor a minute to knock the rust off. But I think the receivers are ready for it. Yep, and his team believes in him as well. The way that he goes, no play is up until that final whistle goes. They also ran the ball really well sixty six yards on the ground. Have we found a key to running the

game with Gibson and Robinson. I never thought a thunderstorm would be so fun like lightning and thunder. Yes, we do heavy and listen, Robinson gets in here, he wears people down. So when you put Gibson in the game, now he can come through the A and the B get but he could bliss out to own the side and make some plays. So I thought they made it hard and in tiia for Green Bay. And I also thought they made the Green Bay defensive backs tackle. We

don't like tackling that all the time. Yeah. Absolutely. I think the other thing there is they were excellent on third down. And when you want to run the football, ever since you got to run the football, run the football, you gotta be great on third down yea. And Taylor elevated this offense. So they were great on third down. They were able to execute in those situations. And then you get those guys more touches. They had thirty six, thirty eight touches something like that. You don't get that

if you're not possessing the football. And that's what Taylor brought to this offense, theirs of timing and execution. And if we are going to keep it on third down, how about their third down defense? Yes, their achilles heel last season. Meanwhile, the Packers did not convert a third down in this game, not a single one. That's the first time in Aaron Rodgers' career he has not converted a third down, and it's the first time since nineteen ninety nine the Packers have not read Julie, you see

this tier coming down? Hey, listen, I enjoyed watching these. You got to realize a Rodley one of the greatest quarterbacks out of time, heads and many third down completions. It's Abraham Lincoln yesterday. So listen, they told me yesterday the defense was ready to play out these we got third down, Oh deefense, they did not get third down this The difference between seventy two plays was in forty

two plays with him. Yeah. Everyone was talking about this being to get right game for the Packers and the defense had to step up and n't sure that didn't happen right, tight coverage, punching balls out. There was times when they could have caught the football. The defenders were closing windows quickly and taking advantage of like just being aggressive in terms of that area. Love that love the way the defensive line pushed, pushed Aaron Rodgers made him

more comfortable, really nice day for the defense. You know. One of the reasons this one does feel good because it was offense defense and it was special teams that all stepped up. And we got to give some major props to trust Way man. Every putting in work, he is paying them inside the twenty three times he had not. Yes, there are plenty of top performers from Sunday's game. We decided to hand out a few players dubs, and with that, Washington is on a streak two wins in a row.

We're not going to give out player balls after this. We're gonna save that for head coach Ron Rivera. We're gonna be giving hell the players dub the players dubh Right, what do you think the players know? They know what you do. We we e ws like James wins. We're giving that to doub. So I got to throw the dub up. And my player is Terry. I got a man this easy one though, listen, but he's crunching. He never and this is way I love about him. No deva, no defense at this man, I don't get the ball,

I'm still gonna play hard. You get me the ball anytime you need to, I will be there. He's always there. I love you, man, what's favorit player the game with him? It's the last play to steal the game. I know the touchdown. I had to see him. They play a hundred times. That played to seal the game was all I want to And I'm not gonna let you Jazz, I mean Alexander one of the basically league. I'm not gonna let you stop me. Absolutely, and mine mine is

kind of goes hand in hand with yours. It's Taylor Haneke, and I think Taylor Haneke is a guy who deserves a ton of credit. He started the game really slow, friends, looked like kind of rusty, looked a little nervous. But then he gets out there and starts making place. He's avoiding sacks, He's distributing that football to his playmakers, Curtis, Samuel Gibson, Terry, all these guys, and he just did a great job taking hits, getting the ball out, making

the old line better. And he deserves a ton of credit. That third down conversions, all that stuff. Love what he's doing. He gets the dove, he's gonna take it off her. He's gonna take that off the neck, all right, And who else you got Fred, you got one more? Oh, this is my guy. If you talk about him when he don't do it, don't come a good game. I'm gonna give you your profit. It's all about Jack Dale Rio over six. They went in third. Els is Mining

is Abraham Lincoln. He didn't play yesterday, Jack Delriel. For all of your news and analysis, be sure to tune into Command Center weeknights if I've thirty and ten pm on NBC Sports Washington. You can also stream on YouTube and commanders dot com
