After being 60 minutes from the Super Bowl and going all-in this year, does this season's bad beat make you wish last year’s NFC title run never happened? @RallyCaptain & I talk about that and more on the latest @DMVMessHall "Auld Lang Syne" Give it a listen -

Grateful to @GuyLambertNews for having me on the #Fox5DC Live Zone this afternoon to discuss the breaking news of Kliff Kingsbury and the Commanders mutually parting ways. While I’ll always appreciate how fun Kliff’s offense was to watch last season, his inability to adjust,

Possible next OC for the Commanders, former Giants head coach Brian Daboll who is clearly a fan!!

@TailgateTed This!! Not enough people are calling out the irresponsible play calling. Don’t know the exact game/play/drive, but there were multiple times Jayden had come back from injury or a hard hit and a designed QB run up the middle was called. He was too irresponsible with JDs health

This one is surprising to me. The offensive line was one of the bright spots this season.
The Commanders have also moved on from OL coach Bobby Johnson, sources told me and @DMRussini.

Kingsbury being gone doesn’t bother me. The offense put Jayden in harm’s way far too often, and the out-of-nowhere tackle-eligible and wildcat calls drove me insane. Wish him the best, but if No. 5 is the future, that system wasn’t it.

Our @RallyCaptain made it back safely from Philly — but fans are MAD he enjoyed the win 😤 “Where there’s smoke…” there’s fire. Are there leaks in Ashburn? 👀🔥 Give it a listen when you get a chance #RaiseHail 🎧 - https://t.co/XOiDbM8efi 📺 - https://t.co/UHp1TFjjqo

After finishing 5-12, the Commanders are making major changes on both sides of the ball.

. @JPFinlayNBCS Didn’t Peters say when he first arrived that the goal was to build through the draft and supplement via free agency? Am I misremembering? Or did that methodology change once they realized what they have with Jayden?

The expectation is that the #Titans, #Giants, and other teams with openings will request to interview #Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury for their HC jobs, per sources. One of the league’s top QB developers, Kingsbury has worked with Jayden Daniels and Kyler Murray in their OROY

Dan Quinn said they have not yet determined what changes will be made. "Everything needs to be thoroughly examined and discussed and answer what went wrong and what to do to fix it to make sure we never go through this again."

Under center limits the defense. More play action, better downhill running, and power plays are all possible, according to Jay Gruden.

Looking forward to going to Nashville and where ever we end up playing internationally. What trips are you hoping to make next season?

Quan Martin in the win at Philly played on just nine percent of Washington's defensive snaps. Benched in a meaningless season finale. How did he go from such a promising player last season (with two separated shoulders!) to this extreme regression this season? What happened?

Had a blast being back on Game Time yesterday with @RealChadRicardo , @LoCook18 , and @iwoodleynews 🎙️🔥 If anyone can get you fired up talking about a 5-win team, it’s Chad. Nobody brings energy and passion like he does 💯🏈
