    Jayden Daniels' Elbow is dislocated in the 38-14 loss to the Seahawks

    Brent and Dre are back the day after that beating at home, where the main concern after the game is the status of Jayden Daniels' arm after a nasty injury. They start off with news that there was no fracture, and while still early signs point to potentially no ligament damage. Then they talk about the game where they were simply outclassed by the Seahawks every way possible, and then they step back outside of the season; and take a look back at the decisions that the Peters and Quinn regime made that led us to this point. The season is over, they're looking at Tankathon in November, the Commanders are taking fans back to a painful, but very familiar place once again at the halfway point of the season.

    The Commanders get embarrassed 22-44 in Dallas, and Jayden Daniels is injured again!

    Brent and Dre are back minutes after the loss to Dallas, and the news of Jayden Daniels needing an MRI breaks. They talk about how the offensive weapons were so bad, and that it was clear JD didn't trust his WRs, and when he did they dropped the ball. Dallas sold out to stop Bill and the run game so the offense eventually grinned to a halt. Defensively, the secondary was as bad as they expected; Marshon Lattimore, and Mikey played poorly. Then Brent and Dre talked about what the future looks like moving forward, and if Adam Peters, and Dan Quinn are safe.

Defensively with the Cowboys expecting to get Ceedee Lamb back, alongside Pickens Brent and Dre feel that no matter what they Cowboys do Dak should be able to shred this secondary with ease targeting Lattimore, Mikey, and Bobby.

Then defensively the Commanders need to take advantage of the fact the Chargers are down both tackles with Joe Alt dealing with a high ankle sprain, The secondary has been so bad, that playing zone won't work, and they need to send pressure to keep Justin Herbert and those WRs from shredding the defense.

    The Falcons Offense Gets Right at Home as the Commanders Fall to 2-2 After an Embarrassing 27-34 Loss.

    Brent and Dre are back almost immediately after the Commanders loss at home, and they both are finished with the defense after Michael Penix throws for 300yds on the defense. Both are finished with Marshon Lattimore, and Bobby Wagner. Brent is calling for Bobby's job, and Dre talks about all the young LB talent that we heard about with Kain, and others. Then the both agree that Marshon needs to be benched and Mikey moved to the second outside corner. Then the age on the defense, and the team in general shows in key situations, and Brent calls for Joe Whitt Jr's job saying he should be fired today. Offensively the Commanders looked as good as you could expect outside of Bill still not getting enough carriers even though he was easily the best running back the Commanders had on the day. Then Deebo performed well, but the 27 point scored should have been enough for the win, then Brent and Dre wonder if Jayden playing would have been enough with how bad the defense was.

    Commanders vs Falcons Preview!

    Brent and Dre are back as the Commanders get ready to take on the Falcons in Atlanta without Jayden Daniels for the second week in a row, and Terry Mclaurin out as well. The start on defense where they expect the Commanders defense to contain Bijan Robinson, and keep Michael Penix flustered. The Falcons offensive line has been suspect to start the season, and the way Da'ron Payne has been performing to continue. Offensively the expect the Commanders to lean on the running back committee, along with timely Deebo Samuel plays catching a running to keep the offense ahead of the chains, and keep Mariota from having to throw the ball to much. Also Dre says this needs to be a Jaylin Lane week where he gets involved in the passing game with AJ Terrell out. The also say the special teams need to continue to be special to get the Commander to 3-1 on the road.

    The Commanders vs Raiders Pregame!

    Brent and Dre are back after the tough loss in Green Bay over a week in the rear view, but the residual effects of the Packers loss is still hanging over the team with Jayden Daniels, John Bates, and others ruled out. Brent is out on the game saying he's preparing for Jayden to be held out the next few weeks with extra caution, and Dre's response is that the caution is keeping JD out this week, and that he should be back for the Falcons matchup. They argue back and forth about the direction of the team with Jayden's injury given how the severity of his rib injury was hidden by the team last year. Then they talk about Marcus Mariota and how the Commanders offense should fare against the Raiders defense, and how to contain Maxx Crosby. Then discuss how poor Geno Smith has been to start the season and what the Commanders defense should be able to do as both predict a win in a close game tomorrow.
