    Nick Ashooh and Anthony discuss how watered down the Pro Bowl has become after Shedeur Sanders and Joe Flacco were named as alternates. Nick argues that the Pro Bowl has lost much of its meaning and feels more like a participation trophy, saying the NFL needs to find a better way to truly honor players who have legitimately Pro Bowl–worthy seasons.

    Nick Ashooh explains why he doesn't believe Dan Quinn is on the hot seat heading into this season. Nick points to Quinn hiring two first-time coordinators, the Commanders still being in the middle of a roster rebuild, and the lack of depth that was exposed by injuries last year. He also believes Quinn has been given patience from ownership and the front office, giving him time to see this rebuild through.

Doc questions why Flores wouldn't want to come to Washington, where the Commanders have a bottom-half defense that clearly needs fixing.

    Lynnell and Anthony dive into Jayden Daniels' knee injury and the question that follows: does he need to adjust his play style? Both agree his legs are what make him dynamic, but Lynnell stresses that Daniels must develop better discernment to avoid unnecessary hits and know when to get down. Anthony argues that Kliff Kingsbury may need to tweak the offense, putting Jayden under center more often to create a versatile rushing attack, open up play-action, and reduce the hits Daniels takes in shotgun-heavy sets.
