The Washington Commanders, in their first game without Jack Del Rio as defensive coordinator, take on the high powered Miami Dolphins at FedEx Field this Sunday.

We begin the show by learning a bit more about new secondaries coach Jim Salgado. He was recently hired in place of Brent Vieselmeyer and will look to make an immediate impact on this porous secondary.

We look at that secondary when discussing the Commanders defense against this fantastic Miami Dolphins offense, led by QB Tua Tagovailoa, WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, as well as RBs Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane. How will we stop them? Can we stop them?

We then flip the script to discuss the Commanders offense, led by NFL passing yards leader Sam Howell and our offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Will we see more balance this week? Will we see Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson make multiple plays to keep up on this side of the ball? We dive into the Dolphins defense as well, featuring DT Christian Wilkins and CBs Jalen Ramsey and Xavien Howard.

We jump into our predictions, where the Commanders are 9.5 point home underdogs with an over/under of 49.5 points.
