35:28 - Game Day with Dave Johnson: Wizards Rookies Impress Early

Craig welcomes Wizards play-by-play announcer Dave Johnson for his regular game day appearance to preview the Wizards' upcoming matchup. Fresh from the team's trip to Mexico City, Dave shares his biggest takeaways, including what’s impressed him most about the Wizards rookies. He and Craig discuss the rookies' strong starts, their impact on the team's dynamic, and how they’re adjusting to the NBA stage as they settle into the season.

Craig welcomes Michael Phillips of 910 The Fan for his weekly "Tell the Truth Monday" segment to recap Washington's gritty 27-22 win over the Giants. Phillips calls it a "hard-hat" win, highlighting New York's struggle with their quarterback situation: while Daniel Jones isn’t the main issue, he's also not the answer for their future. They praise the Commanders' offensive line for holding strong against a league-leading Giants pass rush, which blitzed on 60% of Washington's pass attempts. The discussion then shifts to the Commanders' first-half struggles against the run, and they conclude by speculating on how aggressive GM Adam Peters might be ahead of tomorrow’s NFL trade deadline.
