0:09.9

Let's have a podcast.

0:12.9

What up, everybody?

0:13.9

It's J.P. Finley, Mitch Titchler, Beltway football, brought to you by MGM National Harbor.

0:18.5

We love it over there.

0:19.3

You will too.

And maybe MGM's getting two new customers in Durante Jones and David Blow. Somebody spent the Super Bowl over there, huh? I sure did. It was great. Yeah, it looked like it. Good wings. We had fun. Um, I didn't win any money. No, no cap. We weren't in tapped. We were in the audit theater, I think it's called. Today, though, we're here in Ashburn, in the bubble, big bear.a.I. Performance Center.

0:40.8

We got to meet Durante Jones. We got to talk at length to David Blow.

0:45.4

Start with, I was impressed by the depth of the pressers.

0:51.3

I didn't think DQ was really going to give a presser, and he gave a long one.

0:54.5

Durante Jones had plenty to say. David Blow had plenty to say.

0:59.3

Biggest takeaway, I asked DQ early on, kind of thought I'd get a nothing answer.

1:04.7

What do you want the offense to look like? He's like, I want the quarterback under center.

1:27.1

You had a great question to Blau about like, you know, it's great to say this, but he hasn't done much of it. Yeah, and it's interesting because you think of an elite athlete and having to play under center versus in pistol or shotgun. And you automatically assume that he can do it, but the footwork is different. The thought process is different. The scanning, the defense is different. The whole operation is going to change for him. I thought Blau gave a good answer to it. I loved him talking about, you know, the last couple weeks of last season when Jaden wasn't playing, but was healthy, but not on IR, that that was one of the things that they identified that they wanted to work on him with. And he was doing it there. I was impressed with all three, but, you know, we've heard impressive pressers before.

2:04.4

Yeah.

2:04.8

You know, identified they wanted to work on him with and and he was doing it there uh you know i was
