00:00All right back at Super Bowl 59 Adam Kaplan here with the voice of the commanders a guy quite frankly
00:06Bram Weinstein, did you really know that the commanders will be this good? Let's go to the season. How so?
00:13Okay, all right, okay, let me make the case for I thought they'd be a playoff team
00:19Okay, why why because the Cowboys lost their defensive staff lost a good number of players off their roster
00:27Some were poached by Washington. Sure. Their offensive line wasn't gonna be as strong and they had no running game
00:32So to think that they were gonna be a double-digit win team. I thought was I expected a step back
00:38So the record the path for Washington was if you're second place in the NFC East
00:43You're probably a wild card team and that's actually exactly where they ended up now
00:48Did they get maybe a step or two above it? Sure. Like did I see the NFC Championship?
00:52No, but I also didn't know how good James Daniels was and by you know
00:57If we skip ahead to week four and they beat Cincinnati on Monday night and a week later
01:01They never go home have a short week Arizona at boat race the Cardinals. That was the point where I went
01:06Okay, this is gonna be different now
01:09Mainly because of this quarterback Bram. What is Dan Quinn mean to the commanders?
01:14Everything he's really reset the culture like everything we had heard about him the relationship building which is a big part
01:21I think of his credo that yes
01:23He's X's and O's and he wants everybody to play hard and tough and all this stuff
01:26But he really gets to know everybody
01:28Like when they hired him all we heard about from his ex-players and ex-coaches who worked with them was how much they love him
01:34Love working with them respect him trust him and that's all we've seen here. Like listen, they have
01:40They've just hit on every turn what you know is rare like the ownership brings in Adam Peters
01:47He does an incredible job
01:49Baselining the roster they bring in Dan Quinn. He resets the culture. That's right. They have 30 plus new players. They all click
01:56Where's the miss right? That's hard to believe
01:59And then it does go back to they have not had a quarterback who can play at this level in a in my lifetime
02:07Or at least my adult lifetime
02:09It's incredible. So this ride you guys were on as a play-by-play voice
02:14Were you like?
02:16What's next it's just it was unreal and you know
02:20I think like we're hoping this is the beginning of something
02:22That like they're gonna be they're gonna be in a situation where they're good for a while
02:26Whatever that means we got the quarterback that helps so we we hope that that's the case
02:30Like no matter how much they win or where they go
02:33There will be no subsequent season that is like this past one for them, even if they want to ring
02:38Well, they want to make sure but like let me we had a Hail Mary
02:42Yes never happened in the history of the franchise that is
02:46Probably my fifth favorite moment of the season for them
02:51The last six wins before they got around to the playoffs
02:55All came down to the last play from scrimmage and they won all of them like think about that like
03:03I know that's it. You're right. You're absolutely right. That's an incredible run again from my view unlikely that it would happen, but it happened
03:10It's a great story and you called it man. So congratulations, Bram Weinstein. I'm Adam Kaplan
