0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand one hundred sixty-nine of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Friday, October 3rd, 2025, and the commanders
0:25.6	are in Kelly. They after practicing on Thursday afternoon, flew to California. They on Friday
0:31.4	are practicing at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and they on Sunday afternoon
0:36.4	at 425 Eastern are playing a game against
0:39.3	the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Englewood, California.
0:44.2	Plenty of connections between the Commander's franchise and the Chargers franchise,
0:48.1	even though the two franchises are thousands of miles apart and rarely play.
0:52.8	But how about the Bobby Beatherd connection?
0:55.0	Bobby Beatherd, greatest executive at Washington, D.C.S. Sports history, and there really isn't much
0:59.8	of a debate. He was the Redskins General Manager, February 1978 until May 1989.
1:06.3	He was the San Diego Chargers GM, January 1990 to April 2000. So 11 plus years as the Skins GM and 10 plus years

1:33.8	interesting. Hello and welcome to this Friday installment of the Al Galdi podcast.
1:38.2	Coming up on the show, in-depth preview of commanders at the Chargers. Next segment, the latest on
1:43.3	quarterback, Jaden Daniels, other commanders players who've been dealing with injury, and the Chargers. Next segment, the latest on quarterback, Jaden Daniels,
1:44.8	other commanders players who've been dealing with injury and key Chargers players dealing with
1:49.4	injury. A lot to go through. It is looking like the commanders will get back Daniels, but the team
1:54.5	already has ruled out three key players. I also during the segment, we'll discuss key comments
1:59.3	from offensive coordinator Cliff Kingsbury and defensive coordinator Joe Whit Jr. on Thursday.
2:03.9	Some really good stuff from Witt on a struggling defense off what went down in the 3427 loss at the Atlanta Falcons this past Sunday afternoon.
