00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 I mean, I think the main thing is I'm just more confident
00:07 in the offense, and I'm way more comfortable out there
00:09 calling the plays and knowing what we're trying to accomplish
00:12 with the play that we're calling.
00:13 And I feel like I'm in a really good place
00:15 mentally with what EV's trying to do,
00:16 and we're on the same page.
00:17 And it's just a lot more fun going out there now.
00:20 And I'm kind of just playing instinctive at this point.
00:22 I'm going back to how I'm just out there playing football
00:24 at this point.
00:25 And there's not really much thinking
00:27 going on, just because I'm very comfortable with the offense.
00:30 Well, you know--
00:32 Comfortable?
00:33 I guess.
00:33 I mean, probably two weeks too late for me, but whatever, Joe.
00:36 At least he went and named him--
00:38 How could he be more comfortable now than he was last year?
00:40 There was no pressure on him last year to even perform.
00:43 I mean, let's be honest.
00:44 At the end of the day, he played a backup role
00:47 to both Taylor Heineke and Carson Wentz.
00:49 Now the pressure's on.
00:50 What a dead man walking coach.
00:52 We talked about Ron Rivera and peeling back the onion.
00:55 There is no excuse anymore.
00:57 This team does not get over 500 and doesn't get to the playoffs.
01:00 He's dead man walking.
01:02 He could be outside looking in for a job.
01:04 And at the end of the day, I think
01:06 it was Eric Bien-Ami's decision, no?
01:08 I mean, why'd you bring in Bien-Ami if he
01:10 has no autonomy of the offense?
01:14 You make a good point there.
01:15 I mean, we've kind of been getting on Ron a little bit.
01:17 And he's the head coach, and the buck stops with him,
01:19 and all that.
01:20 But do you think this maybe was Bien-Ami, obviously
01:23 new to the organization, new to the situation there.
01:26 This was him kind of saying, all right, Ron,
01:29 I've now seen enough from Sam where you can go ahead and do
01:32 this.
01:33 This is a disaster.
01:34 I'll say this.
01:34 It's a disaster for Eric Bien-Ami.
01:36 It's a disaster for the team and the fan base
01:39 looking for optimism.
01:40 Because Ron Rivera is overrated.
01:42 I'm sorry.
01:42 He's completely regressed since they won--
01:45 he is.
01:46 They won the NFC East his first year by default, basically.
01:50 They have regressed offensively and defensively.
01:53 They have great talent.
01:54 They just don't know how to utilize it.
01:56 I would give the keys to Eric Bien-Ami.
01:58 But at the end of the day, they lose one or two games early.
02:01 It's back to old man Jacoby Bursette.
02:04 And then they'll go down like a dart.
02:05 Carver, come on.
02:06 I don't like that.
02:07 Like, if you're going to play him, you play him.
02:09 It doesn't matter.
02:10 If it's a 4-13 year, now I get it.
02:13 Rivera's coaching for his job.
02:14 That's wise, though.
02:15 But honestly, if you're with Washington,
02:18 then you've got to fire Rivera.
02:20 Well, but we said that, though.
02:21 In season.
02:21 (upbeat music)
02:24 (bells chiming)
