Lynnell reacts to Shedeur Sanders’ behavior during the Browns locker room media scrum after it was announced that Dillon Gabriel would start in place of Joe Flacco. He shares his thoughts on professionalism, accountability, and what this says about Sanders’ approach to leadership.

Lynnell welcomes on Mitch Tischler, co-host of the Beltway Football Podcast, to preview Sunday’s matchup against the Chargers. They dive into what Jayden Daniels’ return means for the Commanders’ offense, and whether the defense can bounce back after a rough performance against the Falcons.

Lynnell responds to his Team 980 colleague Kevin Sheehan, who suggested benching Marshon Lattimore in favor of moving Mikey Sainristil to outside corner and sliding Noah Igbinoghene into the slot. Lynnell strongly disagrees, arguing that while Lattimore must elevate his play, he should not be benched.

Lynnell implores Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury to craft a game plan that gives Jayden Daniels easy answers and keeps the offense on schedule. His biggest demand? Establish the ground game early and often. Lynnell’s message is simple and loud: “RUN THE DAMN BALL.”

With Jayden Daniels returning as a full participant in practice, Lynnell lays out his expectations for the rookie QB heading into Sunday’s matchup against the Chargers. He believes Daniels’ ability to use his legs will be key against a defense that’s struggled to contain mobile quarterbacks. Plus, Lynnell explains why Daniels needs to get the ball out quicker—and why part of that falls on Kliff Kingsbury’s play-calling.
