District Divided Amit Singh

The Washington Commanders made 2 more significant front office hires in Brandon Sosna, new Senior Vice President of Football Operations, and David Blackburn, new Director of Player Personnel. Sosna is a young rising star that comes from the Detroit Lions. Brad Holmes, Detroit Lions GM, thinks very highly of him and clearly Adam Peters does too. David Blackburn has been with the Baltimore Ravens for 17 years! He's incredibly well-respected, and our front office now holds people from San Francisco, Detroit and Baltimore.

OTAs have kicked off for the Commanders and we discuss the main observations that we have from them. Jayden Daniels, the #2 overall pick and franchise QB hopeful, has looked brilliant so far. Bobby Wagner has exhibited the leadership we've hoped for already. What other observations do we have?

That being said, there are still big questions that need answering. How quickly will this roster gel together? It is the largest turnover for this franchise in about 80 years! What about the offensive line, specifically? What about Kliff Kingsbury's offense? Will Emmanuel Forbes take a leap forward this season at CB?

Mina Kimes ranked coaches on the hot seat, and made a claim that Dan Quinn could be one and done here in Washington. Amit goes off on the comments, while KDot is much more measured.

The Washington Commanders had their schedule officially announced on Wednesday night, and it's time for the way too early predictions for each game on the schedule! KDot and Amit go through game-by-game discussing wins, losses, storylines, etc.

Dan Quinn recently wore a Commanders shirt with a couple feathers attached as a throwback to the old logo. What did you think of the shirt along with the conversations that came with it? What about the comments from Montana Senator Steve Daines in wanting to bring back the old name?

Rookie minicamp occurred and OTAs are in full swing as the Commanders gear up for their upcoming NFL season. What are early thoughts on the team and how it's looking? Is Jayden Daniels going to have a similar season to CJ Stroud his rookie year?

The Washington Commanders FINALLY dropped rookie numbers for the upcoming season, and number 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels will be wearing #5, just as he did at LSU. This means that Tress Way, our 2x Pro Bowler and All-Pro Punter, will be finding a new number to wear. In an emotional interview with some former Commanders in Fred Smoot, Santana Moss and Logan Paulsen, Tress Way announced that he has given his number to Jayden Daniels. Tress Way showed why he is so loved and adored by our fanbase. Should he have given up his number?

Jayden Daniels was also on the "All Facts No Brakes" podcast, hosted by former NFL WR Keyshawn Johnson. The interview covered the NFC East, Commanders, the bet between now NYG WR Malik Nabers and Jayden, and Virtual Reality.

On the subject of VR, KDot breaks down what he has learned around virtual reality, what it does, how it helps Jayden Daniels, and how it can revolutionize the NFL if used correctly.

The Washington Commanders came away from the 2024 NFL Draft with 9 new players. They are Jayden Daniels (QB, LSU), Johnny Newton (DT, Illinois), Mike Sainristil (CB, Michigan), Ben Sinnott (TE, Kansas State), Brandon Coleman (OG/OT, TCU), Luke McCaffrey (WR, Rice), Jordan Magee (LB, Temple), Dominique Hampton (S, Washington) and Javontae Jean-Baptiste (EDGE, Notre Dame). What do you all think of the draft that the Commanders had?

Now the question turns to the offensive line. Do we need to go get a Donovan Smith or David Bakhtiari? Or are we fine with Cornelius Lucas and Brandon Coleman?

The undrafted FAs that we signed are highlighted by QB Sam Hartman, also from Notre Dame. Do we think any of them will have an impact?

We discuss the Michael Penix pick that absolutely rocked the NFL world. Was it a good pick or bad pick? Where does this leave Kirk Cousins, fresh off signing a 4 year, $180 million deal with $100 million guaranteed.
