0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand one hundred eighty four of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Friday, October 24th, 2025. We now are exactly
0:25.5	two months away from Christmas Eve. Let that sink in. And are we at last going to get legendary
0:33.2	Washington Redskins offensive lineman Joe Jacoby being elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
0:39.8	This is a saga that has been going on for decades. The Pro Football Hall of Fame on Thursday
0:44.5	morning announced that following a second reduction vote of candidates in the Seniors category,
0:50.5	34 former players remain under consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's class at 2026.
0:57.0	Among those players, Joe Jacoby, and also former Skins receiver Henry Ellard.
1:02.1	Great to see that, but we have seen this kind of thing before, only to ultimately be disappointed.
1:09.2	In this step of the process, each member of the Hall of Fame's

1:52.6	Next segment, discussion of the offense as it is now official.
1:56.5	The commander's starting quarterback in the game will be their QB2, Marcus Moriota, and not their
2:02.3	QB1, Jaden Daniels, who in the 4422 loss at the Dallas Cowboys this past Sunday suffered a
2:08.3	right hamstring injury. We'll get into this latest go-round for Moriota as the commander
2:13.2	starting quarterback and into the very good injury news for this team. Yes, I did say good
2:18.9	injury news for the commanders. Imagine that this season. Receivers Terry McLaren and
