You can find us there as part of Empire Media, AMPI, or E. Always much appreciated when you tune in. Don't forget, you can read my work on ESPN.com. And there you go. No stories up right now. Not a whole lot going on this week. But stay tuned for a minute. in a minute, I'll be talking to former Washington Redskins slash football team slash

commander's quarterback Alex Smith. So caught up with Alex, talked about his work with concussions, and then also a lot about the commanders. And then what Jaden Daniels faces switching offensive schemes. Now, we don't know yet what it's going to exactly look like,

but we do know there's going to be a change. And we do know that there's different influences

for David Lau. Do not assume because they're keeping guys from that staff that they're going to run the same thing.

That would be an incorrect assumption. Now incorporate elements of it, I'm sure they will.

But run the same thing, you know, it may, well, whatever. I don't expect that. I expect some sort of variation from his, from other parts of David Blow's background.

So you got Jonathan Gannon, you got Patrick Graham, Denard Wilson, Joe Collins.

You know, they've interviewed a couple of Carl Scott.

So they've interviewed a few other people. But that's, you know,'ve you know they've interviewed a couple of Carl Scott so they've interviewed a few

other people but though that's you know I don't have a I don't know who the favorite would be at

that point so the other the other name that would be interesting is it does Jim Schwartz become

available the Browns everything all indications out they did like to keep him. And if so, then that, which is why they

haven't, which is why he hasn't been interviewing anywhere else because they want to keep him. So they

can block him from interviewing anywhere. And then it depends. Do you hire a defensive mind of head

coach or do you bring in an offense guy? You bring an offense guy, sports is probably staying in
