And away we go, episode one thousand one hundred fifty three of the AlGaldi podcast. It is Thursday, September 11, 2025.

It, of course, is the 24th anniversary of the single worst day in the history of this country.

0:32.3

We remember and pray for all of the victims and their families. The Redskins' first game after 9-11 was a game at

0:39.8

the Green Bay Packers, a 37-0 loss at the Packers on Monday night football on September 24, 2001.

0:49.0

We hope that what happens for Washington on Thursday night is a much different result. This is a Washington

0:55.1

Commander's Game Day, commanders at the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night football at 815,

1:00.5

a massive opportunity for the commanders, a chance to be two and though just five days

into the team's 20-25 regular season. But this is a heavyweight matchup. Each team is viewed

1:10.5

as one of the best teams in the NFC. We on is a heavyweight matchup. Each team is viewed as one of the best

1:11.6

teams in the NFC. We on ESPN's Get Up on Wednesday morning had this exchange with host Mike Greenberg

1:17.9

and ESPN NFL analysts Dominique Foxworth and Jeff Saturday. Dominique Foxworth, as many of you know,

1:24.1

former NFL cornerback, a product of the University of Maryland, played for

1:27.7

the Terrapins for the 2001 through 2004 seasons, went to high school at Western Tech in Catonsville, Maryland. Anyway, here you go. All right, so, Neke, let's set the stage for what is at stake here. You got Daniels on one side. You got Micah on the other. What is at stake for the winner of this game? The winner of this game becomes the front runner and challenger of the Eagles. We're going to determine who we expect. And I think coming to the season, everyone was high on Green Bay. And a lot of people were saying Washington could regress. I think the way that Washington's D-line and their whole team honestly looked last week is like regression isn't a possibility. They could improve and we'll see how good they are going up against this Green Bay Packers team. Yeah, I love what you're saying. And when I think about this football team, the thing that I loved most was Dan Quinn, their running backs, the Washington Menors running backs were the most effective in the NFL last week. They will have to do that against Green Bay. You do not want this to be a

2:19.0

dropback game where you're playing into the hands of that Green Bay defense with Micah Parsons.

2:24.4

Go run it at him, make him play both run and pass. Do not become predictable. If you're predictable,

2:30.2

they will light you up. I think Dan Quinn, knowing Micah the way he does, will know how to attack

2:35.2

him in that run game. Lewis, all right. So, Neek, let's set the stage for what is at stake here. You got Daniels on one side. You got Micah on the other. What is at stake for the winner of this game? The winner of this game becomes the front runner and challenger of the Eagles. We're going to determine and who we expect.

2:49.4

And I think coming to the season,

2:51.0

everyone was high on Green Bay,

2:52.6

and a lot of people were saying

2:53.5

Washington could regress. I think the way that Washington's D-line and that whole team honestly looked last week is like regression isn't a possibility. They could improve. And we'll see how good they are going up against this Green Bay Packers team. Yeah. I love what you're saying.
