00:00was this jayden daniels rg3 saints game from 2012 are you getting are you getting that tingle
00:06you're getting that special feeling that you got when you saw robert go down and vaporize
00:12the saints did you get that same sort of feeling last night as jayden did the same thing to the
00:17bangles i think there's a similar vibe i think people are getting that vibe i can't remember
00:22what's what rg3's numbers were that game well you had the signature moment though right yeah on the
00:27floor with his hands up he didn't quite have that oh i think you should with that pass to mcclearn
00:32on fourth down that touchdown pass was just ridiculous by the way remarkable catch by terry
00:37as great as the throw was by jayden just a remarkable catch to stay in bounds i i truly
00:43thought he was out of bounds he was getting interfered with too like if he didn't pull
00:46that in like that ball if the refs are doing their job that ball is going on the one yard line and
00:51then they should score because they were remarkably proficient in the red zone just a
00:57week after being allergic to the red zone and wanting to get out of it as soon as they got
01:03into it against the giants right so that that's another step that you like to see so in that game
01:08all right they're improving in that game rg3 was 19 for 26 for 320 and two touchdowns and ran for
01:15uh where's his russian ran for 42 so 9 for 42 here so yeah i could say yeah there's a lot of
01:21similars here's what i'm waiting for and i think jp is too is that 80 yard run that because it's
01:28coming it's coming and it you know we haven't been close yet but he's gonna bust one or she
01:33had that against the vikings right yes he's gonna bust one for 80 and that's when the pants are
01:39gonna come off do you like the amount of runs right now i know that we had this debate before
01:43the season i told you it was going to give you about eight to ten per game he's actually been
01:47above that and you thought it was going to be less than that my thing was design runs i thought
01:51would be less i know he's going to run when it breaks down yeah but the design runs are probably
01:57four to seven a game and yeah and i know this too if they're at the goal line i like it they don't
02:05hesitate using him even though he's slight of frame they use him down on the one and the two
02:11like sure they did in the preseason they showed that look in preseason games and you saw it again
02:15last night look he's vulnerable he's a skinnier guy you just have to deal with it this is what it
02:20is but again he just he's different and it's not to say he's impervious but he played 55
02:28games in college he's a star he was able to withstand major injury he's tough as nails
02:33he's a star some guys are three games in he's a he's a star he's a star some guys are just a
02:38little bit different that doesn't mean he's can't he's not capable of being hurt of course he is
02:41they could snap him like a twig in the wrong circumstance but he's found a way to navigate
02:46it so far we just have to kind of put our faith in it and i think you've seen growth in three weeks
02:51absolutely in protecting himself but i also love that he wasn't sliding in week one i also love
02:58that when he needs that yard and she's gonna go in there and take the blow yep i mean he's a baller
03:02what's not the love he needs it what the red the only red flag you can point to is his spindly frame
