Charting the Commanders' course
Listen now
Description
The Athletic's Ben Standig is back for another round of Commanders' pre-draft talk -- with charts! Ben opens (1:00) with some show notes and Terry McLaurin's thoughts before playing some recent Q&A audio from Washington's top receiver (12:45). Then the chat shifts to those cool statistical charts seen all over social media. They're insightful, but with so many, how can we know which ones offer the most evaluation context? @fball_insights shares the data that best helps explain this class of quarterbacks, receivers, offensive tackles, and edge rushers (15:50) along with Jahan Dotson. Lastly, as "Curb" says goodbye, Ben begins a (hopefully not preachy) "Airing of Grievances" segment, specifically on the discourse for Commanders' rumor mill, fake LeBron-Wizards transactions, the real Stefon Diggs trade and Caitlin Clark (1:05:08).
