Craig braves the YouTube comments section, addressing some of the biggest items currently stirring the pot in Washington Commanders land. It's a candid response to fan reactions, controversies, and the pulse of Commanders Nation.

Craig welcomes Commanders beat reporter Ben Standig to share his biggest takeaway from the joint practice with the Patriots — and it starts with the noticeable absence of Terry McLaurin. They break down the receivers’ struggles, whether that impacts Terry’s contract leverage, and who could claim the WR4 spot. Ben also shares his observations on the defensive line’s strong performance and previews which linemen he’ll be watching closely in the preseason game. They close the segment with a look at the linebacker room, where opportunities abound behind veterans Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner.

Craig is joined by Travis Thomas of NESN and WEEI in Boston to break down his biggest takeaways from the Commanders-Patriots joint practice. Travis highlights how impressive both Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye looked and why that’s a great sign for the future of each franchise. The two discuss the ceilings for both young QBs, and Travis explains why he thinks the Patriots could surprise people and hover around .500 this season.

Craig opens the show reacting to Jeremy Fowler’s latest report that the Commanders and Terry McLaurin’s camp are still about $7 million apart in contract negotiations. Craig breaks down what this means for Washington’s top wideout, what the hold-up says about the team’s approach, and whether fans should be concerned heading into the season.

Craig and Anthony revisit the six key things they said they’d be watching for during today’s joint practice between the Commanders and Patriots. From wide receiver performances without Terry McLaurin to the secondary's struggles and the trenches on both sides of the ball, they break down what delivered, what disappointed, and what it all means moving forward.

Craig welcomes on CBS Sports front office analyst Joel Corry to break down how the Terry McLaurin contract negotiations are playing out. Corry explains why he has a hard time seeing Terry sign for less than Tee Higgins, who landed top WR2 money. They also discuss whether McLaurin could command $60 million guaranteed like DK Metcalf, Terry’s reputation for being QB-proof, and whether his agent, Buddy Baker, is helping or hurting negotiations.
