Today's date is Friday, August 11th. We are less than one month from the kickoff of the

0:07.2

commander's regular season. Now it's getting real. The first preseason game is tonight 730

0:14.8

in Cleveland. You're going to get your first taste of Sam Howell after winning the Dallas

0:20.2

Cowboys game to close out the 2022 season. I know the fans. I know preseason isn't exciting,

0:28.5

but just getting a glimpse of what's to come. It's kind of tantalized. There's always

0:33.9

interest in that first one, especially when you have a young quarterback. I know you don't want to

0:36.8

see Jake from play, you know, most of the game, but you're probably going to see him play for a half.

0:42.0

You know, we've been throwing around how much Howell's going to play, how much we want to see him play.

0:45.4

I'd like to see Sam Howell play minimum two series, maybe a full quarter. Not sure if you're

0:50.8

going to get that, but you know, I mean, commanders fans want to see first of all what the offense

1:06.2

want to see because we haven't seen anything unless you've been out to commanders park or you count

1:14.0

the one game we saw last year, you haven't seen anything at all. So we're desperate to see.

1:19.1

Correct. The coaches though, they seem every day. They know what they got. They think they know

1:24.0

what they got. I mean, it's great, but they know what they got. They've decided he's going to be

1:27.7

the weak one starter. I don't think they're going to be super anxious to have a mouth there and be exposed

1:33.7

longer than usual. They know what they have against their own defense though. Right. That's true.

1:37.8

And the reports are that the offense was pretty far behind the defense for a lot of training camp.

1:42.8

True. Which is a little bit concerning with the the Brains playing their starters tonight.

1:48.7

Their defense is above average. I mean, it could give the commanders starting offense some fits

1:54.5

early in this game. Yeah. So the question to you, Manders fans, 800, 636, 1067.
