0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand one hundred eighty three of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Thursday, October 23rd, 2025. It is the day on which the Washington commanders begin practicing for their game at the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night this Monday night at 815. This is the day after we on Wednesday afternoon had reports that the commander starting quarterback in this game will be their QB2, Marcus Marieto, not their QB1, Jaden Daniels, who in the 4422 loss at the Dallas Cowboys this past Sunday suffered a right hamstring injury.
0:52.0	Head coach Dan Quinn during his day after the game press conference on
0:54.7	Monday afternoon said that an MRI exam revealed that the hamstring injury isn't serious, but
1:00.4	Quinn did not say that Daniels necessarily would play at the Chiefs. And sure enough,
1:05.6	he reportedly is missing the game. What will be his third miss game due to injury in this
1:10.4	regular season,
1:11.1	and missed two games due to a left knee injury. Jade and Daniels over five seasons as a collegiate
1:15.8	QB1 was very durable. Daniels during his all-time great NFL rookie season, last season was
1:20.8	very durable. But Daniels now was said to be out for a third time in eight games for the commanders
1:25.5	in this regular season. So we on Monday night will not have the superstar quarterback matchup of Jaden Daniels versus Patrick
1:32.6	Mahomes.
1:33.4	Yes, Mahomes versus the commander's defense in a game in which the commanders are without
1:39.2	their QB1.
1:40.4	A big spot for Marcus Marioda.
1:42.8	I also would ask this.
2:01.2	I guess so much for making the chiefs prepare for both Daniels and Mariotta, but it may be that whatever competitive advantage might have been gained by that is overrated. And maybe the commanders see themselves as better off making it clear who their starting quarterback for the game will be. I also had this thought.
2:08.5	So commanders at the chiefs this Monday night, a struggling Washington team starting a backup quarterback against a team with a high-powered offense on the road on Monday night football
2:15.4	in late October.
2:18.4	Sound familiar?
2:21.7	The Colt McCoy game.
2:27.6	One of the most shocking Washington wins in the history of the Washington-Dalice rivalry,
2:39.8	a 2017 overtime win at the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night football on October 27th, 2014. And guess what this Monday is?
