After the Commanders signed Jeff Driskel off another team's practice squad instead of elevating Sam Hartman, Lynnell sounds off on Adam Peters' decision-making.

The conversation also zooms out to discuss broader offseason priorities and what this final stretch should reveal about the roster moving forward.

Lynnell makes the case for simplifying the Commanders' game plan against the Eagles by leaning heavily on one running back: Bill Croskey-Merritt.

With the Eagles coming to town this weekend, Lynnell begs the question: which version of the Commanders will show up on Saturday? Washington has been blown out five times this season, losing each of those games by 22 or more points, raising real concerns about consistency and competitiveness. Lynnell breaks down why he believes this time will be different, explains what he's looking for from the Commanders, and predicts a tightly contested game that could come down to the wire against Philadelphia.
