| 0:00.0 | Back from Minnesota and we got action on the field, got to watch Commanders OTAs Phase 2 folks actually running around throwing footballs, hitting sleds, it's fun out here in Asperger and let's have a podcast. |
| 0:26.0 | What up everybody, it's JP Finley, it's beltway football, Mitch and Pete are here, we're going to get this thing going, brought to you by Orsman Automotive of Virginia. |
| 0:34.0 | We were all with them, want you to do the exact same thing, they got seven locations all over Northern Virginia, my guy Andy High wants to go see some live golf, we're going to try to make that happen for him. |
| 0:43.0 | Also, before we get into anything, I just want the ground screw to know that I love them. Start with some news, some sad news, our money Rogers. |
| 0:52.0 | Blue out of his Achilles at Tuesdays OTA, Ron let us know, sad man, promising young kid, you know, didn't think he touched about seven times last year but UDFA, former quarterback turning into a tight end, I think there was some real excitement about him, nothing but bad news there, hope the best for his recovery and feel free to add something on Rogers. |
| 1:21.0 | For a tight end room that had a lot of questions heading into the season, they didn't do anything to really address it. |
| 1:26.0 | This off season, obviously we know last year there were a ton of tight end injuries, it's tough for that to happen at this point in the season and you know, now you're starting to look at a couple real young guys who are going to need to contribute. |
| 1:40.0 | I mean, it's the same group as last year, honestly, it's last year these guys were UDFA rookies, now it's Hodges has been in the league of year. |
| 1:50.0 | I think, dude, cold turner looks good, if you can stay healthy. |
| 1:53.0 | It's a hell of a practice player, what I've learned about cold turner. |
| 1:56.0 | We all tweeted about it this time last year, so I mean, we'll get into all of that. |
| 2:02.0 | I guess we can dive right in with just kind of notes and everything we saw and then do chase on the back end, because Lord knows we're going to talk about this chasing plenty. |
| 2:11.0 | The Rogers thing, I think, so you guys got to watch all of practice, I got to come out there for like 25 minutes-ish. |
| 2:17.0 | I made a point to time my day around being able to watch the last seven on sevens and the last 11 on 11s and Logan's out there a lot. |
| 2:27.0 | He's very, very clearly Andrew Norwell's not here, I think they're releasing him in June. |
| 2:32.0 | I don't think that's happening with Logan for the people out there suggesting it. |
| 2:36.0 | I think he's a big part of this offense. |
| 2:38.0 | Yeah, it probably can't happen now if Rogers hurt. |
| 2:41.0 | Maybe you'd do it if the guys looked really encouraging early on, but yes, they keep saying that Logan's healthier, that he's going to be close to what he was when his tenure with the team began. |
| 2:50.0 | Yeah, he looks good, he's got to improve that blocking and that's something we won't be able to see until the preseason, the regular season, because that was a huge weakness firm last year. |
| 2:59.0 | But the receiving looks like it's trending in a really positive direction. |
| 3:03.0 | Yeah, I mean, we talked to Logan a little after practice and he was talking about how much better he felt that he's able to really make those connections with Sam Howell and how much Howell has grown. |
