He is randomly gotten from bleeding green nation BLG. How goes it?

RJ excited to be here with you as always but even more excited because we have a special guest. We do have a very special guest. We have ventured out into the ocean that is the NFC East really what the earth is like 70% water right well the NFL is like 70% NFC East and so the disgust that we have brought in the one the only the legendary the iconic internationally famous known all over the world all over the galaxy multiple galaxies at that from hogs haven.com Brian stab you Brian. How goes it?

Wow that's a lot to have to live up to fine but let's let's temper some expectations a little bit there maybe just one galaxy. Do you well what's your favorite galaxy while we're on the subject.

No, that's a good one. I'm going to go ahead and say this one. But you know I need to do the research on my own. I need to make sure like I'm.

I like being informed before answering questions of this nature, but I appreciate the ask sure sure well we want all of the informing I guess you had an informant in this capacity on the Washington football team. We've already had Ed Valentine from big blue view on but the giants are terrible everybody knows that it's great. But Washington is at least somewhat respectable the most respectable of all the NFC East teams at the moment BLG is high on the Washington football team right now. I don't know if you've seen this Brian.

But in his latest edition of power and can see has them as the 10th best team in the entire national football league. So BLG I'll I'll let you start here because you're the one who is super pumped to talk some WFT.

I mean, high is relative. I mean 10 in the in the power ranking sure. That's high. That's really high. Yeah, I mean I haven't been going 9 and 8 in my prediction. I just it just felt right to me. But I mean here again. Here's the thing I talked about this with stats on the the odd cast like power rankings.

It's not just about like to me at least like the gap from you know one to two isn't necessarily as the big as the gap from like nine to 10 you know there's different tiers within the power rankings. And you could talk me into putting Washington like 13th and I don't see that as really a big difference from 10.

Just for example. So anyway, getting off of that though. What was really interesting to me about because not only did I do power rankings for Bleeding Grenation.com within those power rankings. I included the amount of games each team is favored to win this year based on the early

I think it was a like a Westgate sports book ads from Las Vegas and Washington only three three three games for a team that won the division last year. So I just think it's interesting. Brian, why don't you give us like you're kind of overall feel about the Washington football team as we sit here on May 19th.

Yeah, I think with when you look at this team, they in some in a lot of ways have like earned the benefit of the doubt based on what we saw from them last year. And that's not something that Washington has really done a lot of in the last we'll call it two decades.

You know, the results when you look back a year ago, you know, courtesy of some from some help in the final week of the season. And we don't have to dig up all bodies there to discuss quarterback decisions and the final week of seasons.

But I mean, for Washington, I think they, I don't know that they got markedly better. But I think there was a trend in the division where a lot of teams watches included address needs to plug holes. So where I think Washington holds serve going into this season until they have proven otherwise.

I don't know that I'm not going to go out there and look through the schedule go game by game and say, oh, yeah, like this is a 12 win team like it's it's not at this point.

I would be very surprised if much like you, I think if any team in the division, one double digits, even with the extra game there, I haven't seen enough to say like that there's a repeat coming for sure. But

you know, it'd be favorite in three games that's tough. That's a that's a tough one clearly not everybody is subscribing to the benefit of the doubt ideology here. But, you know, Washington had needs in free agency. They had needs in the draft. They plugged holes that needed plugging by and large. And I will be extremely interested to see if

guys who performed above the caliber that I think they would normally do it again next year. And whether or not the guys that they brought in are able to actually be upgrades on the ones who they've jettisoned.

So Brian, I'll be honest with you. I am super low on Washington. Like I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum from BLG, which is why we're really excited to talk to you.

I mean, I know I'm not to like dig up the the body. I don't think any of us want to dig up the 2020 NFC East like that body is like decomposed and

I mean, I'm not like, I don't know, but that's a weird tangent. But anyway, this is a team that's over here. Yeah, this is a team that won seven games last year. Right.

Four of which were within the crappy division that we all know and love. They swept the Cowboys and did not play Dak Prescott either of those times.

I believe they've only defeated Dak Prescott once so far in Dak's career, which was the infamous snap and fraction that LP Liders there had in 2018.
