There's a huge offseason coming up for Adam Peters, Dan Quinn and company.
Chris Russell discusses kicker Tress Way earning a Pro Bowl selection before shifting to a comparison between the Commanders and the 49ers following San Francisco's impressive Monday Night Football win. With the 49ers positioned to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs, The Rooster highlights their depth as the clear reason for their success. He argues that San Francisco has had nearly a decade to build its roster, creating sustained opportunities and continuity, while the Commanders are only in Year Two under Adam Peters, emphasizing the difference in timelines and expectations between the two franchises.
The Rooster breaks down the challenges facing the Commanders' roster and coaching staff. Chris explains why comparing Adam Peters to the 49ers' John Lynch is premature, noting Washington is only in Year Two under Peters while San Francisco is in its ninth year of building depth. The discussion continues as Rooster highlights that the roster is now fully in the hands of Adam Peters and Dan Quinn, moving beyond excuses tied to Ron Rivera. Listeners then react to the team's lack of depth, and Chris closes the hour by analyzing the quarterback situation, explaining why Sam Hartman is not a viable replacement for Josh Johnson after the Mariota injury. A full hour of context, analysis, and Rooster-style candid insight into Washington's current state.
Hour 1 opens with The Rooster reacting to Thursday Night Football as the 49ers beat the Colts, highlighting the impressive job Kyle Shanahan has done despite injuries to a depleted San Francisco roster. The conversation then lightens up with some holiday fun, as Chris refuses to reveal his favorite Christmas song and instead forces A-MAC to guess it. Rooster also reacts to the Pro Bowl selections, with Commanders punter Tress Way and returner Jaylin Lane earning honors, before wrapping the hour by explaining why the 49ers' roster depth, built over nearly a decade, stands in sharp contrast to Washington, which is still early in its rebuild under Adam Peters. A mix of NFL analysis, Commander's perspective, and classic Rooster personality to kick off the show.

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. In a lost season, Lynnell questions why Hartman is still occupying a practice squad spot if the team doesn't trust him enough to even see the field, arguing that two years of “development” should result in more confidence—or force a hard organizational evaluation.
