Post Senior Bowl Rankings, and possibly Russ to DC?

Esplicito
Brent and Dre talk about what news came out of the senior bowl and how the QBs looked during the game. They argue about the top half of the rankings and who best fits the Commanders moving forward before switching to the Pro Bowl. They note how having players at the Pro Bowl can help land free agents and address the rumors of Russell Wilson to DC that surfaced over the week. The two finish off the show quickly, discussing the Wizards and their slump that has dropped them to the 11th seed.

The rebrand is official, we are the Washington Commanders!

Esplicito
With Washington finally getting their new name, Brent and Dre talked about how they feel about the team name, the new jerseys, and whether they think this build-up was worth it. The two discuss the news that Bradley Beal is now receptive to being traded and what a potential Ben Simmons trade looks like. Of course, they get into a debate about QB tiers, and where Kyler Murray falls into them once, Brent begins talking about Joe Burrow being the best QB in the league and why. As you may have guessed, Dre thinks he's crazy.

The Wiz choke away a 35 point lead to the Clippers, and more NFL QB talk!

Esplicito
Brent and Dre started talking about the Wizards, and then Dre dropped the bomb... He's ready to move on from Brad, which then leads into NBA draft talks, and maybe a little bit of tanking as well. The two then recap the weekend's games, which leads into an argument about which QB is the best in the league, and per usual, Brent and Dre disagree. There's the Grant Paulsen clip of him losing his mind after watching Mahomes vs. Allen, and Brent suddenly decides he needed to break out a Macho Man Randy Savage impression to drive home the fact Joe Burrow will be the best QB in the NFL within the next year. This episode went everywhere, and it was a hell of a time!

The Long Awaited Dre Pre-Senior Bowl QB Rankings Release!

Esplicito
Dre is finally ready to break down his team's potential new QB-X pre-rankings! From Corral to Zappe, Dre breakdowns the top seven prospects, and then the two talk about who they think would gel the best in Washington's current system! After that, Brent and Dre talk a little Wizards with their most recent 3-game losing streak and a potential Rui trade!

Super Wild Card Weekend give WFT fans joy as all division rivals get embarrassed!

Esplicito
Brent and Dre talk about Philly getting embarrassed, and Dallas doing an epic choke job and breakdown in their collective failures! They talk about how close Washington is to Philly, how we were a few losses away from having Burrow instead of Cincy, and then talk about the Washington Wizards.

Ron's sketchy season closeout press conference, and where are the Wizards right now?

Esplicito
Brent and Dre talk about some of Ron's press conference quotes and how odd they sounded. Asking for two more years, and why wouldn't star QB's want to come here leave them both shaking their heads. Then they check in on the Wiz, who have cooled off this season but have more players returning, and a major one leaving again.

The Football Team beats the Giants 22-7, to finish the season 7-10. Another losing season, but there are serious questions going into the off-season.

Esplicito
Another disappointing season, more questions about Quarterback moving forward. Brent and Dre mention the benchmarks for Terry and Antionio, then talk about player contracts. Brent is adamant that Terry's new contract needs to be the number one concern of the off-season and should be addressed immediately. They talk about some scenarios for the answer at QB in the off-season and potential draft picks. Now that the season is officially over, it's time to begin looking at potential rookies, something they've been all too used to in January since Brent and Dre have been fans.

The Football Team comes out flat and loses to Eagles 20-16, and it feels like nothing changed from the first game.

Esplicito
Philly was without some of their best players and still managed to control the entire game. Our Offense without Gibson looked terrible, and now it's time to talk about really moving away from trying to build a top 5 defense. Brent and Dre talk about how much we truly need to upgrade the talent on the offensive side of the ball or if just upgrading QB would be enough. They get into a debate about how many teams in the NFL truly have a 1, and 2 when it comes to pass-catching duos. Then think about what the team can do this offseason to get better. And we still have a game against the Giants coming up on Sunday, thankfully the last game of the season.

The Sunday Night Slaughter: the Football Team gets destroyed by Dallas 56-14 and the while not officially out of playoff contention the season is over.

Esplicito
Players were getting into scuffles on the sideline; the issues carrying over to social media, the benches are still a talking point. Brent and Dre discuss how poorly Heinicke is playing, Coach Rivera still being 'stoic' on the sidelines in the midst of the assault on Sunday. It's time to talk about the options we have as the season thankfully comes closer to being over and whether all of our defense guys survive the off-season in Ashburn. There is a little bit of pregame for the game in Philly, but the guys aren't enthused about the odds of winning or even looking respectable.

WFT falls to the Eagles 27-17 with an all around dreadful performance.

Esplicito
With the Football Teams playoff chances all but finished, Brent and Dre discuss the game but mainly focus on who's to blame for this poor season. Players vs. Ron, Staff playcalling vs. Ron's almost too calm demeanor; they discuss that and talk about the odds of beating Dallas on a short week.
