Battered and Bruised

Brent and Dre are back as the Commanders return home to try to extend their winning streak to four games with a win over the Browns! Both Brent and Dre acknowledge that this is the best defense Jayden and the Commanders have faced all season thus far. But with how effective the run game has been and how poor the Browns are against the run, the Commanders should be able to defend home field.

The two discuss the concerns that the Cleveland secondary will present and that there will be less of an aerial attack than we have seen over the past few weeks. Then, they discuss how Myles Garrett and the Browns' defensive line could wreck the game.

On the opposite end of the ball, they expect the Commanders' defensive front to build off the momentum they picked up against the Cardinals last week and keep Deshaun Watson playing poorly.

After both predicting a win for the Commanders, they talk about how open the NFC is this season and how there is potential for the team to make a lot of noise as the season progresses.

Brent and Dre are back celebrating a huge win in Arizona on Sunday! The Commanders dominated the Cardinals in every aspect of the game for four quarters as Jayden Daniels shines once again!

Brent and Dre discuss how this historic QB run JD is on has been, and why the sky is the limit on his potential, and how he is slowly raising the ceiling on the season. They then give the defense props for standing up against an offense that was showing well to start the season.

Then the duo talk about what's going on the East, and why there is a small chance the Commanders to finish on top! Also there is a small chance the Commanders vs Ravens game could be flexed into Sunday in a few weeks.

Brent and Dre are back to the talk about the matchup on Sunday in Arizona. Apparently the Cardinal fans believe that there is no reason they should lose to Washington, and Dre is confused to where their confidence is coming from.

Brent and Dre talk about how similar the two teams actually are on both sides of the ball before the end up in a debate about how good the rest of the NFC East is. The finally get back to the Commanders matchup and have the team leaving the desert 3-1, but will that actually play out on Sunday.

That Monday night game will be one that Brent and Dre remember for a long time! Jayden Daniels shows why he's the QB of the future, linking with Terry downfield, answering Joe Burrow point for point, and showing poise on a game clinching drive while setting records!

The defense might be a problem for the remainder of the season, but the offense is real! Jayden is better than we thought, and the future looks bright in DC!

Brent and Dre are back after a few weeks, and there are some technical issues. The Commanders' record is what Brent predicted, but Dre is still optimistic about his predictions even though the defense struggled out of the gates the first two weeks.

Both Brent and Dre discuss the NFL's overall offensive woes but then juxtapose that against what Jayden Daniels does well when facing certain defensive looks.

Then, the duo previews the Bengals' Monday Night Matchup. Brent thinks it will be an offensive shootout, and Dre is just hoping the Commanders don't get embarrassed.

Finally, they end with a discussion between Nabers and Marvin Harrison Jr. of who will be OROY and who is better.

Brent and Dre are back with the 2024 Washington Commanders' season predictions, and as you would expect, they don't agree on the team's type of season.

They break down each game, explaining why the Commanders will win or lose, and then discuss realistic expectations for the players this year.

Brent and Dre are back to discuss the huge news that Jahan Dotson has been traded. They break down how they felt immediately after hearing the trade was made and what's next for the WR room.

They then discuss what this change means for the offense and Jayden's ceiling this season and how many games this may cost the Commanders if there isn't an outside solution.

Brent and Dre are back after the draft, discussing Peters and Co.'s selections between Thursday and Saturday.

They start by discussing the most important pick, Jayden Daniels at number two, and what that means for the franchise's future. Of course, Brent and Dre take opposing stances. Brent believes that selecting Daniels, anything less than a Wildcard Weekend bid, is a failure, while Dre doesn't agree.

Then Dre thinks that making the trade with the Eagles was savvy. Brent still thinks that letting Cooper Dejean go to the Eagles will haunt the Commanders for the next decade.

To wrap up the two, discuss what all the additions made in the draft and off-season can mean for the roster and give a quick preview of what the Commanders' record could be. The wildcard isn't that far out of the imagination.

Brent and Dre are back after the close of the first week of Free agency, and the Commanders were busy overhauling the roster.

They discuss each of the team's signings so far and address the plan for fixing both sides of the ball. Then, they believe Frankie Luvu was the best long-term signing, and Wagner mentors the locker and instills the culture that Dan Quinn has been known for.

Afterward, they talked about the masterful trade of Sam Howell to acquire another pick in the top-100 this draft before talking about all of the QBs expected to be taken in the top 3. The consensus pick between the two has switched from Maye to Daniels, but both agree that either one makes the Commanders much better at the position than last year.

Could the Commanders become the Texans from last season? Who knows, but Peters improved a team more in three days than Ron Rivera did in four years.

Brent and Dre are back as the Commanders hire Dan Quinn as their new head coach! The roles have flipped, as Brent is okay with this hire and Dre is infuriated by it. While Dre is upset, his frustrations are primarily directed at Ben Johnson for backing out of the deal, while Brent can understand how Johnson could look at the roster and decide he wouldn’t want to be part of it.

The two get into a heated debate about how much an OC hire matters since Brent is only concerned about roster turnover in the future. It’s a lot of frustration in Commander Land right now, but who knows how everything will turn out?
