The Commanders vs Eagles NFC Championship Preview
Episode notes
Brent and Dre are back as the Commanders prepare to take on the Eagles for the NFC Championship game! A few hours before recording, the Commanders announce that Da'ron Payne will not play because of a knee and finger injury.
Both Brent and Dre acknowledge that Payne's absence will be huge, but they say it only puts more weight on Jayden Daniels' shoulders for Sunday's game. JD5 will have to continue being elite, and they expect Terry to show up in a big way. The X-factors will be either Dyami, who's been on fire this postseason, or Brian Robinson, who has huge games to support Daniels in leading this team to a Super Bowl.
Defensively, Dre thinks the best plan is to sell out to stop Saquon, while Bren thinks that winning the game depends on the defensive, forcing the Eagles to score in the Redzone instead of his run plays. Both believe Hurts isn't as healthy as the media is being led to believe.
Both are picking the Commanders to win on the road and continue the Super Bowl run,
