And I have a story up now that I wrote with Jeremy Fowler about what went wrong with the commanders this season, taking a look at the trade, Eric Biennamy, Jack Del Rio, the way that the firing was handled, et cetera.

All that stuff is in there. And so I'm going to have Jeremy on in a minute so we can discuss what we learned from the reporting.

To be honest,

a lot of for me, you know, and Jeremy, once you start getting into it, you, I don't think there's a ton of surprises that we learned. We knew that there would been unrest in some areas,

especially with some of the players in the enemy. But we get into all that. And I don't think

it's as simple as, oh, they're all right and this side is all wrong.

I don't think there's ever, I think when you come to the NFL, it's rarely just a black and white issue as far as, you know, there's always gray matter in there.

And I think in this situation, you can say like, well, yes, they're upset with this. But you look at the other side and say, yeah, but. So I think there's a lot of

stuff that we get into. Do me a favor of you, you go give that story a read. It's on ESPN.com.

It was Iran Wednesday. So you're probably hearing this Thursday morning. So go give that a read and then

listen to the conversation and we go over a lot of stuff. I also talk to Jeremy, who is a national reporter for ESPN, of course, about some of the coaching names that we can expect to hear in the offseason.

Some of the GM candidates he might expect to hear, not just here, but for all over.

And so some of the names he's going to bring up may not pertain to here, but they are going to be guys that are discussing openings around the NFL. So I wanted to give you some of that as well.

And then the national perspective on what's going on here,

I always like a national set of eyes on this franchise to help you learn what outsiders think,

maybe about the roster, about the coaching situation.
