    Doc Walker and Anthony lay out their essential keys to the Commanders' upcoming matchup. For them, it all starts with running the ball and committing to it for four quarters. They emphasize the importance of controlling the clock, shortening the game, and keeping pressure off the defense. On the other side of the ball, the message is simple: be physical and tackle. Doc stresses that fundamentals matter more than scheme this week, and Anthony agrees that if Washington wants any chance to win, they need to win the line of scrimmage and stop the missed tackles that have plagued them all season.

    Doc Walker and Anthony dive into an in-depth conversation about what kind of coach Dan Quinn truly is for the Washington Commanders. Is he primarily a players' coach—someone who connects, motivates, and galvanizes the locker room? Or is he more of a culture setter and builder, focused on identity, standards, and long-term foundation? Doc and Anthony weigh Quinn's career track record, leadership style, and the way players respond to him as they try to pinpoint the defining traits of the man now steering this franchise.

    After Washington drops to 3–7 on the season, Lynnell poses the big-picture question: What are you most eager to see the rest of the way? He lays out his priorities, starting with the continued development of Josh Conerly Jr. and the growth of the offensive line. Lynnell also wants to evaluate what the offense truly looks like once Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin return to the lineup together. Finally, he highlights the importance of monitoring the 2024 draft class to see which young players begin to emerge as foundational pieces for the future.

    Lynnell takes a deep dive into Offensive Coordinator Kliff Kingsbury's role in the Commanders' offensive regression this season. While acknowledging the very real challenges — constant injuries to top receivers and QB1 Jayden Daniels being in and out of the lineup — Lynnell argues that Kliff still hasn't adjusted nearly well enough. With perimeter weapons missing, Lynnell questions why the offense didn't shift its identity, especially in the run game, and critiques Kingsbury for failing to lean on the ground attack when the passing game clearly wasn't functional.

Plus, Anthony shares a bold take — he wouldn't mind if Washington lost out the rest of the way, arguing that being stuck in the middle of the pack does nothing for the team's future. A top-5 draft pick, he says, could land them the defensive game-changer they desperately need.
