Lynnell is back with his Super Six-Pack, ranking his top six NFL teams following Week 4.

Lynnell welcomes on former Redskins cornerback Fred Smoot to break down what's gone wrong in the Commanders' defensive backfield, as the unit has surrendered 515 yards against offenses using motion in their two losses — including 328 against the Falcons. Smoot explains the mentality of a player when these miscues happen, the key differences in Washington's defensive plan against the Packers versus the Falcons, and whether the scheme needs to be simplified. They also assess how the pass rush performed and Smoot shares his evaluation of Mikey and Quan Martin.

Lynnell and Anthony take a step back and evaluate Adam Peters' tenure as Commanders GM after a year and eight months on the job. They break down his draft picks, free agent signings, trades, and overall team-building philosophy before giving him a grade for his performance so far.

Lynnell breaks down Adam Peters' regime as Commanders GM and examines the three sides of his roster building — the drafter, the free agent signer, and the trader. He goes through the players Peters has brought in, who's been a hit so far, and who still has the jury out on them.

The Commanders have added veteran WR Robbie Chosen to their practice squad, but Lynnell isn't convinced it will change much. He says Washington's passing game will continue to lack impact without Terry McLaurin and believes the team simply doesn't have the receivers to consistently win quick.

Lynnell welcomes on CBS Sports HQ's JP Acosta to go around the NFL, starting with a deep dive into the Commanders' defensive issues. The two discuss Washington's inability to defend motion plays and whether the problems are more about personnel or scheme. JP then shifts to the league-wide picture, sharing his biggest takeaway from Week 4 — that the Baltimore Ravens look like they could be in real trouble.

Lynnell circles back to his Super Six-Pack from Friday — the six Commanders who had the spotlight on them in the Week 4 matchup against the Falcons. He evaluates how each player performed in Sunday's 34-27 loss, breaking down who stepped up, who struggled, and who surprised him.

Lynnell welcomes on David Harrison of the LockedOn Commanders Podcast to get a read on the vibe inside the Commanders' locker room following the loss. David shares that many players were taking accountability, but he and Lynnell dive into what they see as the biggest issues on defense — from lack of adjustments to struggling in hostile road environments. They also touch on the Commanders' running back situation, whether Washington should've stuck to the ground game, and David gives his gut feel on if Jayden Daniels will return this week against the Chargers.

After Commanders defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. caught a lot of criticism for the team's defensive struggles in Sunday's loss, Lynnell pushes back on the narrative. While acknowledging Whitt deserves some of the blame, Lynnell argues the bigger issue lies with the players — from missed tackles to blown coverages to a lack of energy flying to the football.

Lynnell opens the show reacting to Washington's 34-27 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, pointing to defensive struggles as the key reason for the defeat. While acknowledging the Commanders are still 2-2 after the first month of the season, Lynnell stresses that something has to change on defense. He challenges the unit to look itself in the mirror, ask if they're living up to the standard set by their leader, and decide how they want to be talked about moving forward.

Lynnell is back with his Super Six-Pack, highlighting the six Commanders players who will have the spotlight on them in Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. With no Jayden Daniels, John Bates, and Noah Brown, Lynnell breaks down who needs to step up and why these six names could define the outcome of the game.

Lynnell goes behind enemy lines with Josh Kendall of The Athletic, who covers the Atlanta Falcons, to break down Washington's Week 4 opponent. They discuss why the Falcons' offense has struggled early in the season, how the Commanders can slow down Atlanta's attack, and just how much of a must-win game this is for the Falcons.

Lynnell and Anthony look ahead to Sunday's matchup against the Falcons by predicting what the Monday morning headlines will say. Lynnell thinks the Commanders will win the trenches battle again, predicting: “Commanders finish September 3-1 after dominating the trenches for the 3rd time in 4 weeks” Anthony believes the defense will lead the way and prove to the rest of the NFL that the defense can win games, going with: “Defense Dominates, Commanders Are A Legit NFC Contender”

With Terry McLaurin sidelined, Lynnell asks the big question: Who needs to step up in his absence? Lynnell points to offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury as the one under the most pressure, while Anthony agrees that it won't fall on just one player. Instead, he expects Kingsbury's scheme to spread the ball around, with six, seven, or even eight different players potentially making an impact on Sunday.

Lynnell opens the show with his thoughts on Jayden Daniels being ruled out for a second straight week. While Daniels was eager to play, Lynnell is glad the Commanders are protecting their young quarterback from himself. He explains why there's no rush to bring Daniels back, even questioning if we'll see him next week, and makes the case for keeping him sidelined until he's fully healthy.

Lynnell welcomes Commanders guard Chris Paul to discuss starting in place of Brandon Coleman this past Sunday. They break down how Paul prepared for his first career start, the challenges he faced on the field, and how he plans to continue seizing opportunities and contributing to the team moving forward.

Lynnell is joined by Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic to discuss whether her outlook on the Commanders has changed at all through the early part of the season. Nicki raves about Washington's dominant front four and the impact it has had on games so far. They also examine how much pressure Kliff Kingsbury is under heading into Sunday's matchup with the possibility of being without Terry McLaurin, and they close the conversation debating whether or not Jayden Daniels should play this weekend.

Lynnell sits down with Commanders safety Jeremy Reaves after practice to talk about being in year two of Washington's defensive system and how having a better understanding of it helps him play faster. Reaves also shares how being fully healthy this year has boosted his confidence, his approach to containing Falcons star Bijan Robinson, and what the Commanders must do to limit Atlanta's offense on Sunday.

Lynnell explains why he believes Washington's defense can take over Sunday's matchup against the Falcons. The Commanders have been elite at forcing opponents into tough down-and-distance situations, producing the 4th most 2nd-and-7+ and 3rd-and-11+ opportunities in the NFL. Their run defense has also been stout to start the season. Meanwhile, Atlanta's offense has struggled badly, ranking 31st in points per game, averaging just one touchdown per contest, and managing only one passing touchdown in three games. Lynnell says all the numbers point to Washington's defense setting the tone.

Lynnell opens the show with the latest Commanders injury report, reacting to Jayden Daniels being a limited participant in practice for the second straight day. He explains why he'd err on the side of caution and keep Daniels out against the Falcons, stressing that the team still doesn't know the full severity of the injury. Plus, Lynnell makes it clear—he has supreme confidence in Marcus Mariota to step in and get the job done.

They debate the pros and cons and ultimately agree—they would not trade Mariota, emphasizing his value to the Commanders' offense and leadership.

Doc Walker welcomes Maryland Terrapins legend Lamont Jordan to preview Sunday's Commanders-Falcons matchup, which Jordan calls a “playoff-like game” where each team's will is going to be tested. Jordan breaks down why Washington must continue to establish the run offensively and stop Atlanta's relentless ground attack defensively. Plus, he shares what excites him most about the Terps' 4-0 start to the season.

Doc Walker welcomes Washington Redskins legend Gary Clark to the show for a wide-ranging conversation on all things Commanders. They dive into the current state of the team, the impact of key injuries, and what Clark sees as the keys for Washington to sustain success this season.

Doc Walker welcomes in his Team 980 colleagues Lynnell Willingham and Chris Russell to weigh in on the Terry McLaurin injury situation. The crew shares their perspectives on how significant the loss could be for the Commanders' passing attack, what it means for Marcus Mariota and the offense moving forward, and how the team should approach McLaurin's absence if he can't go Sunday.

It's a Wednesday edition of Burgundy and Gold Today, which means Doc Walker is in the building. Doc opens the show with his thoughts on the latest surrounding Terry McLaurin's quad injury. He wonders if missing all of Training Camp during contract negotiations contributed to the setback, and says this is why he wishes Adam Peters and McLaurin's camp had finalized a deal earlier in the offseason. Looking ahead, Doc stresses the importance of Washington locking in future extensions early to avoid similar situations next year.
