The NFL season is inching closer as teams begin their offseason training activities. Trev leads the way this episode with guest host George Carmi. The two of them discuss Chase Young, Montez Sweat, and Charles Leno missing from the start. How are the rookies doing now that the competition has been raised? How big is the EB impact and how excited are they? This and more during The Game.

Ref the District lays out their priorities for Josh Harris. Stadium? Name change? Clean house? All the options are covered. 

Rookie minicamp is underway and Emmanuel Forbes is already showing out. Ref the District talks about why it's still a good thing your first rounder shows out against undrafted free agents. We also look at the impact Eric Bieniemy has had already.

Ref the District discusses the Washington Commanders schedule. Which three games are key to the season? Can the team survive a slow start? How will this season go? We take on these questions and more.

The Washington Commanders released their 2023 schedule.  It is ranked as the 8th most difficult schedule based on the teams records from last year.

We go through game by game to react to the schedule and give our predictions.  In the end, Nathan has them going 10-7, Trev has them at 11-6 and Stoner has them at 7-9-1.

Would love to get your reaction to not only what we say but also what you think the Commanders will do.

Even when the Washington Commanders are smack dab in the middle of the offseason, there's never any shortage of news to talk about.  Last week Commanders beat reporter for ESPN John Keim wrote the Commanders checked into the availability of retired Colts QB Andrew Luck.  Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk picked up on it and wrote a story.  That caused Colts owner Jim Irsay to pop off on Twitter to not only say that would be a tampering violation, but that his team has asked the league to investigate the possibility.

In addition, veteran Center Chase Roullier was released with a post June 1st designation.  This means his salary will stay on the books until June 2nd.  Chase was the team's starting Center since 2017 but was limited to 10 games the last 2 season due to injuries.  That has us wondering who might be next.  Is Logan Thomas a candidate to be cut?  What about Andrew Norwell, Kendall Fuller or even Charles Leno?  We'll dive into the possibilties of those players and if those cuts would make sense.

Finally, two rankings came up that had us buzzing.  First was the ranking by Mike Clay of ESPN who has the Commanders with the 11th best WR room.  Mike also came out with a QB room ranking.  He placed the Washington Commanders at 32.  The disrespect!

We'll talk about that and so much more on Episode 120 of Ref The District!

We take a deep dive into each of the Washington Commanders draft picks in 2023.  It was a very unsexy draft but filled plenty of holes.  Did they get better?  Are you happy with the draft?  Here are the picks:

Round 1, Pick 16: Emmanuel Forbes (CB, Mississippi State) 
Round 2, Pick 47: Quan Martin (DB, Illinois) 
Round 3, Pick 97: Ricky Stromberg (IOL, Arkansas)
Round 4, Pick 118: Braeden Daniels (OL, Utah)
Round 5, Pick: 137: KJ Henry (EDGE, Clemson)
Round 6, Pick 193: Chris Rodriguez Jr. (RB, Kentucky)
Round 7, Pick 233: Andre Jones (EDGE, Louisiana)

What are your grades?  We'll also look into all the undrafted free agents they signed and if any of them have a chance to make the roster.

And what about linebacker?  This team refuses to invest in linebackers!

All of this and so much more on Episode 119 of Ref The District!
