The first Commanders depth chart reveals some surprises, while QB Jayden Daniels upholds a key team standard after throwing an interception in practice.

This episode breaks down Washington's first unofficial depth chart of the 2025 season, discussing the offensive line with Laremy Tunsil and Andrew Wylie, the placement of key receivers like Deebo Samuel and Chris Moore, and why some running back placements don't quite match what's been seen on the field. Plus, hear about the continued standout performances from rookies like RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt and CB Trey Amos.

The conversation then shifts to a detailed look at Jayden Daniels' ninth practice, where he went 12-for-18 but had a critical interception. The episode explores why the consequence—the entire unit immediately leaving the field—is a positive sign of the accountability being built by the new coaching staff. The segment also covers the impressive pressure created by Von Miller and a tough day for kicker Matt Gay, who missed two potential game-winning kicks in situational drills.

The episode wraps with a conversation with rookie linebacker Kain Medrano. Kain discusses his transition to the NFL, what he's focused on sharpening in his game, and what it's like learning from veterans like Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu in the linebacker room.
