Welcome back to the Junks.

0:01.3

It's time for us to head out to the Rood guest hotline. Rude, the most reliable heating and air conditioning products in the DMV. We'll say good morning to Nick Shook around the NFL writer for NFL.com. What's up, Nick? Good morning. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, of course. I'm going to throw your curveball and not ask you about Terry McLaurin right out of the gate

0:21.5

because we've been talking about Terry McLaurin and his contract impasse for literally,

0:26.4

I want to say like 40 straight days.

0:28.6

It's been a lot.

0:29.5

I'm looking at your bio on NFL.com and it says at the end that you get more excited about a pulling guard

0:36.1

than a kid gets on Christmas.

0:38.4

So you must be into offensive lines and the big uglies up front.

0:42.7

Give us your take on the revamped off offensive line here for the commanders.

0:47.0

They draft Josh Connerly with their first round pick.

0:49.8

They bring in Laramie Tunsell via trade.

0:52.0

They shift Brandon Coleman off of tackle into the interior.

0:56.1

What do you think of this remade offensive line for the commanders protecting

there's a reason that it said, a pooling guard like a kid on Christmas, because I love it

1:17.6

when I can see an offensive lineman who can move well, because I think that separates them.

1:21.5

I think about guys even like Cam Juergens, why the Eagles ended up drafting him when

1:25.7

Jason Kelsey was still there because Kelsey liked the fact that he could move and move with power. So, yeah, I thought the pick of Connolly was an ideal one for them in the long term. Tonsol, you know, there's a big question mark about him because he's had such a very strong career and a reliable career. And then last year, he just didn't play well. And it was part of an offensive line on Houston that just didn't play well, generally speaking. So you hope that he gets a bounce back. And it was one of the commanders' many moves to win now. So I think that, you know, overall, I like their group. I like Tyler Beattis as well. And, you know, you continue to go down the line. You've got guys who have experienced, Andrew Wiley and Nick Allegretti and Michael Dieter.
