Marshawn Lynch has never been shy about saying the wild part out loud, and his latest advice for Jayden Daniels came with the kind of bluntness only he can deliver.
On his Get Got Pod, the former running back weighed in on the string of ugly quarterback injuries and singled out Daniels after the Commanders quarterback suffered a brutal elbow injury in Sunday’s Week 2 loss to Dallas. Lynch’s answer was not exactly textbook. He suggested Daniels should work on his off-hand more intentionally, then spelled it out in extremely graphic terms.
“That little N need to start going to jack off,” the former running back said on his Get Got Pod. “You gotta be ambidextrous when it come to beating that motherf***er.
“He need to go beat that,” he added. “He need to get his shit right.
You feel me? And I f**k with that little N too.
Hey, man. You feel me?
Look, I’mma tell you. Had that… Look, N I ain’t had these forearms.
You feel me though? Why you think a N stiff arm was so cold?
N I was ambidextrous with this s**t. Scroll to continue reading latest in Washington Commanders news
Beneath the shock value, Lynch was making a simple point: quarterbacks can help themselves by building strength and coordination on both sides of the body, which he believes can reduce the kind of one-sided joint damage Daniels just suffered. He tied that idea back to his own playing days, saying his famous stiff arm came from being strong and coordinated on both sides.
It was a very Marshawn Lynch detour - part football lesson, part stand-up routine. That blend of insight and unfiltered humor has been a big part of why the podcast has taken off.
Lynch also touched on Caleb Williams and his hamstring injury earlier this season, bringing up the Bears quarterback’s reaction and saying that kind of visible response would have made him a target in any locker room he was in.
The reactions to Lynch’s Daniels comments came quickly.
“Mama Daniels not having that,” one fan wrote, referencing Daniels’ mother, Regina Jackson.
“C’mon now Marshawn. You know that young man has to ask permission from his mama to do anything like that,” another fan joked.
“Ambidextrous is insane lmaooooo,” a third fan offered.
If Daniels follows the advice, it’s probably not something he’ll be advertising anytime soon.

Jayden Daniels Injury Update Leaves One Big Question For Commanders Fans
Jayden Daniels has been busy consulting multiple specialists after suffering a left elbow dislocation in Week 2, and the Commanders are still sorting through the best path forward. The good news for Washington is that surgery has been ruled out, and general manager Adam Peters said the team is not currently considering a move to injured reserve, which keeps the focus on recovery rather than a longer shutdown.
Medical personnel are now guiding the next steps as the Commanders weigh different rehabilitation options for their quarterback. It leaves the biggest question open for fans: not whether Daniels will need an operation, but how Washington will manage the recovery process and what it means for the team in the meantime.

Jayden Daniels elbow scare was enough to get people around the league talking, and Marshawn Lynch offered one of the more unusual takes in the aftermath. On his podcast, Lynch suggested the Commanders quarterback should spend more time training his off-hand, arguing that building more ambidexterity could help with coordination and maybe even lessen the chance of injury down the road.

Commanders Secondary Could Soon Get Help It Desperately Needs
The Commanders secondary has been waiting on Trey Amos to get back into the mix, and the second-year cornerback still remains on injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury in training camp. Amos has had limited practice time this season, and with the team carrying five cornerbacks on the roster, his absence has been felt in a group that could use more stability and depth.
Dan Quinn has not offered a firm return timeline, even though Amos would not be eligible to come back before Week 5 of the 2026 season. For Washington, the hope is simple: get a talented young corner healthy and available, then see whether he can give a defensive backfield in need of help a lift when it finally arrives. [Read more 🡒]
