Vibe Check Tuesday got off to a solid start where we saw Craig agree with one of the callers saying that quarterback is not a huge priority for this team that has so many more dire needs: "If one of the guys who's at the top of this draft, you think is a hall of famer at quarterback, you have to take him unless you think Sam is also a hall of famer. If not, I personally would not take another quarterback."

Michael Phillips of the Washington Times joins the show to discuss the firing of Jack Del Rio, following the Commanders blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

Craig discusses how the six players he spotlighted on Wednesday played in the Week 12 game against the Cowboys.

Craig shares his other eight observations from the Commanders loss to the Dallas, including Ron Rivera's lack of aggressiveness on 4th downs, Howell's next step in his development, the total lack thereof a pass rush and more. 

Craig shares his three biggest takeaways from the Commanders loss to the Cowboys: The defense felt inevitable and that's why Jack needed to go Brent Vieselmeyer is such a miss because you not only had a bad year, but you drafted DB's with your first two picks and couldn't coach them with any efficacy

The Commanders vs Cowboys game went as expected, but that isn't a good thing. What do we make of Washington's dismal holiday performance? Is there any hope left for Ron Rivera?
