commanders headed to the west coast and they should have their west coast quarterback at the helm jaden daniels back to practice hopefully we see him back on the field on sunday let's have a podcast

0:14.7

what up everybody is jp finley it's beltway football that's mitchie tishler we're brought to you by MGM National Harbor. We love that place. You should too. You can have a great night, great morning, great breakfast, great dinner, whatever you're in the mood for. Or should you choose to, the commanders are playing out west. If you're not traveling L.A., go over there to watch a game. and most importantly, watch Jaden Daniels as a quarterback. Mitch, it seems like all systems go for Jaden, which is great news.

0:41.2

One thing that's... watch a game and most importantly, watch Jaden Daniels, a quarterback. Mitch, it seems like all

0:38.6

systems go for Jaden, which is great news. One thing that's really interesting, the Chargers

0:42.7

have a great defense where their most vulnerable is quarterbacks running the ball. Jaden

0:48.8

earlier this week said, I got to be smart. Cliff Kingsbury said, Jaden's got to be smart.

0:53.3

We got to be smart with what we do with him. How big is this paradox where the Chargers have a really good defense, vulnerable running quarterbacks? Jayden's a great runner at quarterback, but you got to take care of the kid. Yeah. I mean, listen, Jayden's been playing this type of football his entire career at the size that he is.

1:41.4

I agree with you, and I haven't said this before, but I think in this one, the first game back,

1:46.1

like the sideline is your friend.

1:47.7

Like, it's okay to not to leave a couple yards out there and it means you don't take a big hit.

1:53.4

I honestly think the coaching staff wants him to do the same thing.

1:56.4

That doesn't mean if this is close late in the fourth quarter that you go all out and you

2:00.6

try to win the game.

2:01.8

But first quarter, second and seven, and you get out of bounds for a third and two rather
