Chris Russell opens the show with Dan Quinn’s announcement that Jayden Daniels will start Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings just weeks after dislocating his elbow. The Rooster breaks down what Daniels’ return means for Washington, weighs the risks of facing the NFL’s most blitz-hungry defense, and questions whether the young quarterback can regain his rookie-year blitz-beating form. From there, Chris pivots into a humorous detour about his deep love (sarcasm fully intended) for soccer as the 2026 World Cup draw lands at the Kennedy Center. The hour wraps with a deeper look at Daniels’ development and what Washington needs from him moving forward.
