Doc Walker kicks off Burgundy and Gold Today with a strong reaction to Dan Quinn officially taking over defensive coordinator duties and calling plays for the Commanders. Doc explains why he believes Quinn should've made the move sooner—especially after seeing how the defense responded on Sunday with renewed energy, urgency, and effort. He breaks down what changed, what it means going forward, and why this could be a pivotal moment for the team.

With the Commanders off to a disappointing start to the season, Doc Walker poses the big-picture question: How is this Commanders team going to look next year? Anthony jumps in with a nuanced take—he doesn't fault GM Adam Peters for being aggressive this offseason, sacrificing draft capital to add veterans and attempt a rapid turnaround. But Anthony also pushes back, criticizing Peters for failing to properly prepare for the worst-case scenario: life without Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin. With both stars missing significant time due to injury, the roster's lack of contingency plans has been exposed. Doc and Anthony break down what this means for the future, what lessons must be learned, and how the Commanders should approach building for 2025 and beyond.

Doc Walker kicks off Burgundy and Gold Today by reacting to the Commanders' sixth straight loss — a 16-13 defeat to the Dolphins in Madrid, Spain. Despite another frustrating outcome, Doc starts with what he liked, highlighting the offense's performance on the ground. He praises the run game for setting a physical tone, helping control the tempo, and giving the Commanders a real chance to win. Doc says he actually wants even more of it, arguing that the run game was the offense's most reliable and effective element on Sunday and should've been leaned on heavier as the game unfolded.

News broke that the Washington Commanders have released kicker Matt Gay following the team's overtime loss to the Dolphins in Madrid. Doc Walker and Anthony react to the decision, discussing what led to the move, how much responsibility Gay bears for Sunday's loss, and what this says about the team's standards during a six-game skid. They debate whether the move was justified, what it means for the locker room, and where the Commanders turn next at kicker as the season continues to unravel.

Doc Walker and Anthony break down the Commanders' defensive showing against the Dolphins, examining what went right, what continues to go wrong, and how Dan Quinn evaluated the unit after the narrow loss in Madrid. They react to Quinn's comments on physicality, discipline, and whether the defense is finally turning a corner. Then the conversation shifts to the big-picture question facing Washington fans: Should the Commanders make a push, or should they embrace the tank? Anthony argues that the smartest move is to lose more games and secure a top-5 draft pick to land a franchise-changing talent. Doc—ever the competitor—pushes back, insisting the team should chase a late-season run and keep postseason hopes alive, no matter how slim. A spirited debate breaks out on pride, progress, and the future of the franchise.

Doc Walker welcomes Maryland legend and former NFL running back Lamont Jordan for a deep, honest conversation about the state of the Washington Commanders. They start with the bright spot: the run game, which finally showed signs of life. Jordan breaks down what improved, what's sustainable, and what still needs to evolve. From there, they zoom out to assess the Commanders' injury-plagued, turbulent season. Lamont says this year has been a “reality check” for everyone in the organization and believes it should force leadership to reevaluate how they build the roster for the long haul. He goes a step further, telling Doc that he would sit Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin for the remainder of the season, even once they're medically cleared, to protect the franchise's two most important offensive pieces. The conversation wraps with Lamont's take on Maryland football, including whether the Terps made the right decision in bringing back Head Coach Mike Locksley.

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.

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.

Rick “Doc” Walker fills in for The Rooster and kicks off the show by breaking down the current state of the NFC East from the surging Cowboys to the struggling Commanders.

He also doesn't hold back on his critique of Dan Quinn and the defense's lack of talent. And to wrap up the hour, things take a hilarious turn when Doc learns A-MAC's real name live on air. You don't want to miss this mix of football insight and classic Doc Walker energy!

In the final hour of The Chris Russell show Doc Walker chats with a caller about what makes a talented offensive lineman, breaking down the skills and traits that separate the good from the great. He then expands the conversation globally, comparing the NFL to other sports leagues and discussing what lessons the league could learn. Doc also takes a critical look at the Commanders' offense, questioning what the team does best (or doesn't), offering his perspective on Kliff Kingsbury's scheme, and engaging with listeners' calls and reactions. It's an hour packed with football insight, strategy discussion, and fan-driven debate.

Doc Walker keeps the energy rolling as he opens the hour asking listeners whether Washington's defensive woes come down to a talent problem or a scheme issue. A-MAC joins the discussion as they dive into the Commanders' poor performances and whether it's time to start thinking about a full rebuild. Then, Cowboy B cracks the mic to preview the Cowboys' upcoming matchup and review some of the biggest trade deadline moves from Dallas. It's a lively, insightful hour packed with football talk, bold opinions, and classic back-and-forths only Doc Walker can deliver.

After Daron Payne posted a video on Instagram showing Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown punching him in the face during Sunday's game, Doc Walker and Anthony dive into the debate — was Payne right to retaliate, or did his ejection ultimately hurt the team more than it helped? They weigh the emotions of the moment versus the discipline needed to lead on defense.

Doc Walker opens the show reacting to Dan Quinn's decision to demote Joe Whitt Jr. and take over defensive play-calling himself. Doc and Anthony debate whether this move will spark real improvement for the Commanders' struggling defense. 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.

Nick Ashooh and Doc Walker fill in for G&D today and discuss all things Commanders, but wants to know how fans are emotionally after a wild 2025 season.

Doc Walker reacts to Daron Payne's ejection for punching Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown and Javon Kinlaw's unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for hitting a ref. Doc calls out both players for their selfishness and lack of composure, emphasizing how critical they are to the defense's success and how their actions hurt the entire team.

Doc Walker kicks off Burgundy and Gold Today fired up after the Commanders drop their fourth straight game by 21 points or more. He reacts to yet another dismal defensive showing, calling out the lack of pride and effort on that side of the ball, and questions where this team goes from here.

A caller suggests the Commanders should keep Jayden Daniels sidelined even after he's medically cleared since the season is already lost. Doc Walker disagrees — he says he does want to see the young quarterback back on the field to gain valuable experience and continue his development despite Washington's struggles.

Doc Walker reacts to Dan Quinn announcing that he'll now take over as defensive coordinator and call plays for Washington's defense. While Doc agrees with the move, he says the changes shouldn't stop there — the offense is struggling too. He questions how the Commanders are 10 weeks into the season and still don't have a clear identity, saying that lack of direction ultimately starts with the head coach himself.

Doc Walker is in on Burgundy and Gold Today and opens the show reacting to the Commanders' 38-14 blowout loss to the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football. While many fans are ready to panic, Doc still believes this team can turn things around. However, Anthony isn't nearly as optimistic, leading to a spirited back-and-forth between the two on where Washington truly stands after another primetime embarrassment.

Doc Walker welcomes on Mitch Tischler, co-host of the Beltway Football Podcast, to react to the Commanders' 38-14 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football. They dive into Dan Quinn's controversial decision to keep Jayden Daniels in the game despite Washington trailing by 31 points in the 4th quarter — a choice that proved costly when Daniels suffered a severe elbow injury. Doc and Mitch break down the decision, its implications for the team moving forward, and what it says about Washington's current state.

Doc Walker and Anthony react to Jayden Daniels' press conference after returning to practice as a full participant for the first time since his hamstring injury.

Lynnell Willingham joins Doc Walker to react to the news that Terry McLaurin re-injured his quad. Lynnell reminds listeners that he warned a month ago about bringing Terry back too soon and now fears this could be an issue that lingers all season. Despite the setback, Lynnell emphasizes that Terry's absence is no excuse for the Commanders' struggling passing attack and says it's time for others to step up.

Doc Walker kicks off Burgundy and Gold Today reacting to the tough news that Terry McLaurin re-injured his quad in the Commanders' 28-7 loss to the Chiefs on Monday Night Football. With McLaurin now ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Doc discusses what his absence means for Washington's offense and who needs to step up in his place.
