00:00I'll see you in a minute.
00:04Maranci, what do you think of this kid Jaden Daniels and that team?
00:07I mean, they played tough and they had Cincy all night right where they wanted him.
00:12It got close at 31-26, but I never thought that the Bengals were going to win the game.
00:18I'm done doubting Jaden Daniels and I'll be the first to admit I've always liked him,
00:23Scott, but I was the first to admit when he left Arizona State to go to LSU, whoa, I don't
00:27know about this.
00:29Yeah, you were good at Arizona State, you're kind of skinny, you're going to get lit up
00:32in the SEC.
00:33Well, no, he won the Heisman Trophy in the SEC.
00:38And coming into the draft, I thought, all right, you know what?
00:41People really, really loved him.
00:43You know, he wasn't as small as I thought.
00:46He got bigger.
00:47Like I said, every time I sort of doubt something about the kid, he proves me wrong.
00:51And I got knocked out of the Circus Survivor last night because of Jaden Daniels.
00:55The dream is dead.
00:56We're still in the Super Contest, so we're still playing for real money this year.
01:00But yeah, the dream is dead, Scott, and I could be upset about it, but what the hell
01:04can you do?
01:05The kid won 21 to 23.
01:07He's throwing dimes like 45, 50 yards in the air, and they're dropping it in a bucket in
01:12the end zone of McLaurin with the game on the line.
01:14Like, you know, one clutch play after another, and the decision making.
01:19It's not just like the, you know, the decision making.
01:21But I want to say, I got to give credit to Cliff Kingsbury, and I said it last night
01:25during the game.
01:26I said, basically, he looks like he's at LSU.
01:28He's that comfortable right now.
01:30Remember, he just walked into the end zone.
01:32They were trolling the Bengals defense, Scott, throwing to fat guys and offensive linemen
01:37for touchdowns, like the Bengals DC just got carved up by Cliff Kingsbury last night.
01:45But a lot of sports, it sort of trickles up, right?
01:48Like all what the pros do, the little leaguers will do, et cetera.
01:52Football is different.
01:53And in a modern era, and even the old school smart net coaches, they're copying college
01:59right now, not the other way around.
02:01Like, college is the one that's innovative, and you see these players run this stuff in
02:06college, and then they don't do it in the NFL, right?
02:09They run this, like, strict NFL system.
02:12Andy Reid is the first to admit it.
02:14He basically said, we took like 12, 10 to 12 plays that we liked from Texas Tech that
02:18Mahomes ran well, and we sort of tweaked them a bit.
02:22And like, Reid is watching every college game and every play and every little, you know
02:28what, I like that little sweep.
02:29I like this.
02:30Cliff Kingsbury basically ran a Texas Tech slash LSU offense last night.
02:36It was very college-like, spread out, RPO, quick decision.
02:41If it's there, throw it here.
02:43If not, take off.
02:44If it's here, go deep.
02:46Very simplified, but executed to perfection, Scott.
02:51Next to impossible to stop.
02:53They're a dangerous team.
02:54You imagine being an offensive coordinator and watching that game last night and thinking,
02:57I don't want to play this kid in this offense.
02:59You don't know where they're going, either.
03:01Every play, like, the play calling was magnificent.
03:03You know, run the ball, throw the ball, throw deep, throw short.
03:07It was like a yo-yo.
03:09It was like Cliff Kingsbury just had a yo-yo all night, little trick, you know what I mean?
03:13Very impressive.
03:14Going to be a fun game against Arizona this week, Scott.
03:16I'm expecting a track meet.
03:18One thing we should note, Washington defense is not good.
03:22So let's not get carried away as far as the whole big picture here.
03:24They're going to be in a lot of track meets, right?
03:27The Giants punted twice against them.
03:29The Bengals didn't punt last night.
03:31The Buccaneers put 37 on them in week one.
03:34So, and it's ironic because you got Dan Quinn, but I'm telling you, Scott,
03:37my prediction is in two years, the Commanders, maybe next year,
03:43but they're going to be the future of this division.
03:45The Giants are spinning their wheels right now.
03:48Daniel, they're going to get a new quarterback next year.
03:49So they're sort of in this building process.
03:52The Cowboys are going backwards, Scott.
03:54Like they're stuck in quicksand.
03:55They're not getting any better.
03:56It's not like going out of Cowboys,
03:57they're going to take over the NFL in the next couple of years.
04:00The Eagles are kind of aging a bit.
04:03You know, they're kind of in their prime right now.
04:05This is Washington's division in a year or two, Scott.
04:08Point blank.
