if you're watching on YouTube, you can see Bram Weinstein, the voice of the commanders joining me,

as always. So let's get into it, Bram. It's playoff talk. You ready?

I've been ready for this for a little while. I mean, I've kind of felt like John, for really from the early part of the season,

I thought this was really possible.

You know, like they had a flare for the dramatic.

Jane Daniels is ahead of the curve.

And I was happy they were active at the trade deadline because it felt like that this was a season that could end up here.

So I'm really excited for it.

Yeah.

What do you think about this matchup?

You know, I think the one thing I would take from week one is Todd Bowles is Todd Bowles.

So I assume that we're not going to see really a lot different from, you know, just the general idea that they're going to pressure a lot.

Let's see how Jaden handles it differently this time.

Let's see how the O-line, relative health of the O line, I think is a really big deal here in protection.
