It’s Vibe Check Tuesday! Craig and Anthony dive into the key figures who will shape the Commanders’ 2025 season outside of rookie QB Jayden Daniels. From offensive anchors like Laremy Tunsil and Terry McLaurin to defensive leaders Marshon Lattimore and Bobby Wagner—and even veteran tight end Zach Ertz—the crew breaks down who matters most and why.

Craig responds to the backlash against Tyrese Haliburton after his scoreless performance in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. While critics called for him to be benched due to his calf injury and poor shooting night, Craig argues that Haliburton’s pace-setting, game management, and leadership still made a positive difference—highlighting his +3 second-half plus-minus as proof of his value on the floor.
