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.

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.

Brent and Dre as the Commanders get ready to take on the Cowboys in Dallas. They start by recapping the Bears game, and how the Commanders were the better team, but gave the game away thanks to two turnovers by Jayden Daniels that cost the team the victory. Then talked about the lack of tackling on defense, and how that could affect them in the upcoming matchup. Then as the prepare for the Dallas game they try to figure out who is going to play WR this week with Terry, and Deebo both out of the game. And if Jayden has enough to be able to will this team to victory in what looks like it should be a shootout in Dallas. 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.

Brent and Dre are back as the Commanders get ready to host the Bears on Monday Night Football. First they recap the best moments of the win on the road against the Chargers, and how the team performed, and Dre gives a recap of Sofi Stadium, and the game day experience in LA. Then they talk about the upcoming matchup at home against he Bears, noting that the Bears have one of the worse run defense in the league. Which means the Commnadners should use a heavy dose of Bill, and then the play action game to take advantage of tha weakness to control the clock, and put points on the board. Brent and Dre talk about the pressure that's on the defensive line to get pressure on Caleb Williams before their WRs can find wholes in the secondary.

Brent and Dre are back, and Jayden Daniels is set to return on the road against the Chargers in Sofi in his first return back to LA. Before getting into the game matchup they discuss whether or not Jayden will play with a brace this weekend, and if he does need it should he even dress. Then the duo talks about the offensive changes with Jayden back at the helm, and if Kliff will involve Bill in the run game earlier than the 2nd quarter. Then the talk about Terry not being available and can Jayden keep the offensive. 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. Even though Dre has gone out to LA, and he doesn't; think the Commanders get win, but Brent predicts a shootout Commanders win.

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.

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.

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.

Brent and Dre are back with a quick preview of the matchup between the Washington Commanders and the Green Bay Packers! They jump into the main matchup of the Commanders' O-line versus Parson and the Packers D-line. Dre believes that Conerly will need help, but it's understandable, and Brent isn't too worried about the Packers rush against the Commanders revamped line. Defensively the both think the Commanders D-line against Josh Jacobs is the matchup they need to win, because Jordan Love can and will make mistakes that give the defense chances to make plays. They both predict a Commanders win, but someone's prediction is very bullish for the Commanders.

Brent and Dre are back recapping the game today as Jayden Daniels and the Commanders defense handle the New York Giants at home! They talk about how the new look defensive line with Kinlaw, Payne, and Armstrong were able to take the running lanes away from the Giants, as well as get pressure on Russ all game. Then the secondary was able to frustrate Malik Nabers and the Giants passing attack. Offensively the Commanders line adjusted well to the Giants pass rush after a few sacks, and then were able to establish the run game with Bill Croskey, as the Commanders offense controlled the game when they needed to!

Brent and Dre are back after a long break! They quickly recap everything that took place over the off-season. From the Tunsil and Deebo trades, to the draft selections in training camp, and of course the Terry Mclaurin saga. Then they shift gears, and talk the upgrades of the offensive line, and defensive line; and how does that affect the Commanders' secondary as they begin the new season. After that they preview the Giants matchup tomorrow at Northwest Stadium. The main matchup is the Commanders new look offensive line vs the the Giants defensive line. Dre believes the game will be tight because of the pressure, but Brent feels like it will be an easy victory for the Commanders. After that they do their season predictions, and the records are very surprising.

Brent and Dre are back doing their mock draft, using Pro Football Network to create scenarios that the Commanders could find themselves in come draft night. Dre operates the machine and gives Brent options to choose from. In some scenarios, the Commanders are able to move down, and in others, Brent is forced to take a player. Brent fell in love with a scenario that landed the Commanders' Josh Simmons and Jayden Higgins which Dre thought was odd given that he complained about the defense getting worse, but they talk about adding those two to the Commanders offense, solidifying your O-line and getting an archetype you need in the WR room is too much to pass on.

Brent and Dre are back talking about the Commanders, but first needed to give the respect to the best athlete in DC sports history Alex Ovechkin breaking Wayne Gretzky's scoring record. They both talk about the Rock the Red era, and what it would mean for the Caps to end the season with a Stanley Cup. Then they get into the moves the Commanders made during free agency, trading for Debo, and Tunsil improved their offense. Dre is higher on Samuel than Brent who feels he's a low end #3 at this point, but Dre feels he'll give total production of a #2 WR. Then Brent goes glum, and doom on the defense, and wonders why the Commanders were a little more aggressive with names, people thought they would be connected to, and Dre say that the Commanders might not have every truly been in on any of them

Brent and Dre are back after the team gets pummelled by Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. There was no debate between the two. The Commanders gave this game away with four turnovers, each leading to Eagles Touchdowns. Jayden played as well as he could have, even though he had an interception late in the fourth when the game was already decided. The run game was irrelevant, but back-breaking fumbles from Dyami and Eckler killed drives that had momentum to keep things close. Defensively, the Eagles did whatever they wanted on offense; Saquon Barkley ran all over the defense, AJ Brown got open against all corners, and Jalen Hurts showed that he could still play when needed. It was a rough day but the future is bright for the Commanders with Jayden Daniels at the helm, Adam Peters has a lot of work to do this offseason to get back to the NFC Championship.

Brent and Dre are back as the Commanders prepare to take on the Eagles for the NFC Championship game! A few hours before recording, the Commanders announce that Da'ron Payne will not play because of a knee and finger injury. Both Brent and Dre acknowledge that Payne's absence will be huge, but they say it only puts more weight on Jayden Daniels' shoulders for Sunday's game. JD5 will have to continue being elite, and they expect Terry to show up in a big way. The X-factors will be either Dyami, who's been on fire this postseason, or Brian Robinson, who has huge games to support Daniels in leading this team to a Super Bowl. Defensively, Dre thinks the best plan is to sell out to stop Saquon, while Bren thinks that winning the game depends on the defensive, forcing the Eagles to score in the Redzone instead of his run plays. Both believe Hurts isn't as healthy as the media is being led to believe. Both are picking the Commanders to win on the road and continue the Super Bowl run,
