commanders are riding a four-game losing streak and this team is desperate for a win.

Can they get one?

Let's have a podcast.

What up, everybody?

It's Beltway Football, brought to you by MGM National Harbor.

We love that spot.

You will too.

I'm J.P. Fenley.

This is Mitch Tishler, the big man.

Well, Mitchell, it's another week in Ashburn. It's week 10. The leaves are falling. Thanksgivans are coming. The winds are blowing. It's team's three and six. Detroit's coming to town. They are more than a touchdown favorite. Looks like an uphill climb at best. You got injuries all over the field. Jaden Daniels

isn't going to play. Terry McLaurin's not going to play. How you feeling, dude? Yeah, I mean, listen, there's not a lot going into this game that looks like it's going to go well for the commanders. You have Joe Witt moving up from the box down to the sideline. To me, it's a little bit like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, but you know what? If it gives these guys a boost,

you know, then great. I? If it gives these guys a

boost, you know, then great. I don't expect it to make a major difference. Yeah, I mean, it's,

it's a move of the, oh my gosh, things are going terrible. Let's try something playbook. You hate to be

in that playbook, but they're in it. Like, you're're in the we got to try something playbook um you

know what it feels like to me unfortunately you and i did this firsthand when you're in a golf match

and you start losing a couple holes in a row and you switch up the order on the tea it does nothing

but you're at least like let's see if this helps you're hoping it changes the mojo. Yeah, we're in mojo territory.

And mojo isn't real, folks. Sorry. But, you know, I was talking to a bunch of the players in the locker, a bunch of the defensive players. Yeah. Asking about the move down and it's something that the players wanted to happen. They had talked to the coaching staff about it. more so I asked them, hey, have you noticed the difference in kind of the way the coaching staff is going about it?

And to the coaching staff about it. Morso I asked them, hey, have you noticed the difference in kind of the way the coaching staff is going about it? And to the players' credit, you know, they took a lot of the onus on themselves. Like, hey, you know, our job is to execute what the coaches are doing. And they said they're trying to meet a little bit more amongst themselves, have those discussions, you know, during their off times, during meal breaks or whatever to try and figure stuff out. I mean, everyone recognizes there's a problem here. It's just a matter of can you figure out a way to get out of it. Yeah, dude, I mean, you got to be realistic because I feel like Joe Witt is kind of like public enemy number one for the Burgundy of Gold fans. And some of that's deserved, right? He's in charge of the defense. The defense has been really bad. But like, it's not like the plan is for Horton from the Seahawks to be 15 yards

past everybody. Like, that's not the plan. A player has messed up. Now, you can argue if they're

putting players in position to succeed, or if rather than moving the DC from the booth down
