Lynnell welcomes on Audacy NFL Insider Jason La Canfora for a trip around the league. They begin with the Commanders, breaking down why Washington sits at 3-5 and how much of the blame should fall on GM Adam Peters. Jason also shares what he’s hearing as the NFL trade deadline approaches, names his biggest disappointment in the league so far, and discusses whether or not Woody Johnson could move on from Aaron Glenn after just one season with the Jets. They wrap up by talking about other coaches who could be feeling the heat, including Brian Daboll of the Giants and Raheem Morris of the Falcons.

Lynnell Willingham welcomes David Aldridge of The Athletic to talk all things Commanders. They start by asking: Should Sunday Night Football’s outcome dictate what Washington does at the trade deadline? They also discuss how much blame Adam Peters deserves for the team’s 3-5 start, and whether the Commanders should be buyers or sellers at the deadline. Plus, Aldridge shares whether he believes the defense is trending upward, and they wrap up with his expectations for Bilal Coulibaly’s season debut and early impressions of the Wizards through four games.

With the Commanders sitting at 3-5 and the NFL trade deadline approaching next Tuesday, Lynnell poses a big question: Should Sunday Night’s game against the Seahawks dictate what Washington does at the deadline? He breaks down what a win or loss could mean for the team’s short- and long-term plans and whether the Commanders should consider being buyers or sellers depending on the outcome.

After responding to Kevin Sheehan’s comments about injuries to key players being the main reason for the Commanders’ 3-5 record, Lynnell poses a tough question: Is it fair to direct some of the blame toward GM Adam Peters for Washington’s inability to overcome those injuries, or does he deserve a pass since it’s only year two of the rebuild? Lynnell says while Peters doesn’t deserve all the blame, he shouldn’t get a free pass either, noting that roster depth and early personnel decisions are part of the equation.

Lynnell responds to his colleague Kevin Sheehan, who said earlier on The Team 980 that the number one reason the Commanders are 3-5 is due to the run of injuries to the team’s best players. Lynnell pushes back, saying while injuries have played a part, the real issue lies with the offense. He argues that after investing so many resources into the unit, the Commanders’ offense has failed to live up to expectations and fallen short of being the top-10 group it was supposed to be this season.
