Let's get to our Beltway Blitz. It's football heavy today. Let's get it started right now. Benjamin Brown spins us around the NFL. Then I want to start with Monday Night Football last night. The Lions beat the Seahawks. Is Seattle legit good? I actually think they are in a lot of ways legit good. We saw it a little bit last night. Obviously, the big plays DK Metcalf are going to be kind of a staple of how they move the ball offensively. But I think any time they can kind of create mismatches with Metcalf either along the sidelines or deep, they're going to be an offense that at least who lies on explosive plays. We can very much generate those. I do think, you know, kind of walker as well. We turn into the fold. Like they are a team that can move the football. I think defensively, you know, things are still kind of coming into their own a little bit. But I think if you expect a bump from Mike McDonald, you know, being the head coach in Seattle, we would expect it from the defensive side of the football. So I think as the season progresses, they're going to get stronger on that side of the ball. If they can kind of generate enough explosive plays to some of those key guys, I think they can at least, you know, be be contenders for this against the 49ers in the NFC West and very much kind of control their own destiny from a, you know, wild card playoff birth. When they get there, I think they're going to be a dangerous out in the NFC playoff picture when it's all sort of done. So Ben, forget about the tough talk guys or the dudes that do the power rankings who will always say cliche things like, until you to throw them, the defending champs are number one of my rankings. And it may be Kansas City for the answer to this question. But right now, this minute through four weeks, who's the best team in the NFL? Yeah, to me, I know it's cliche. I know it's everything else. But I do think with passionate homes, Andy Reed, obviously, there's been a lot of injuries in the building. It does sound like the Richie Rice injury. Maybe not as, you know, as it's going to be a long term as what was, you know, initially indicated on Sunday. So to me, I think, you know, if they can get Travis Kelsey going once again, the Chiefs are very much probably going to be fine. They can, whether the storm from an injury standpoint, and they very much still, I think, are the team to beat. So I would have the number one overall, you know, offensive ratings, power ratings, baddie grains and everything else. And I do think it would take a little bit of a dramatic, you know, multi-game slide to really see the move from that top spot, in my opinion, right now. What's the deal with Travis Kelsey? His numbers were finally better this past week. But anybody who's watched them, he's slower. I don't know if, you know, we had Jay Gruden on yesterday. He suggested maybe he's not quite in game shape yet. I'm not really sure. But he does not look the same. He's in his mid thirties. Are we sure Travis Kelsey is still like a top of the league tight end? Yeah, I think it's a very valid question. You know, to your point, Grant, I think in a lot of ways, obviously, we can't really measure without NGS stats, but he does seem to be moving a little bit slower in and out of breaks, a little bit slower, even some things, you know, a couple of weeks. So he was targeted on a crucial third down situation. The ball kind of got knocked out of his hands. It just seemed like he maybe like wasn't prepared to make and often to play once catching the football. So there are definitely some concerns there. You obviously want to see, you know, this most recent performance, some kind of you buy on him. It does seem in some ways like they were probably trying to, you know, conserve his snaps. Maybe not have them as involved if they didn't have to until the playoffs really came in and a lot of things kind of had to be sucked out then. But to me, given the injury situation, they're going to need to lean on him and lean on him heavily. And without him kind of returning to form, there will probably be a lot more struggles for the Kansas City Chiefs offense. And I do think, you know, that is probably the most perfect question to the Chiefs being, you know, the top dog in the NFL right now. If Kelsey can kind of return to form and be the real crutch that they need offensively for them going forward. But I thought this past weekend was a really important game for the Ravens. They've gotten off to that weird, flooky start, giving away a game against the Raiders. Very easily could be three and one right now. We wouldn't be viewing them as a disappointment, but they did. So we kind of are. I still think this team is a really high ceiling just because that program is so good. They were in the process of replacing a lot of the names that they lost or become household names here over the next season or two. I still think of them as a legit threat in the AFC, your thoughts. Yeah, I think if you know, obviously them or the bills was kind of that next tier team along with maybe the Houston Texans, I think very much on Sunday night. You know, not only did they dominate the team that was kind of supposed to be on the same tier as them, but but it was kind of over before the game. Even started right like they looked like the bills were literally, you know, scared of tackling their Henry on Sunday night football. And when that's happening in September, you know, it's a pretty easy progression to see that potentially playing outcome late January as well, right? And the fact that they do have, you know, maybe the most explosive two people in the back that we've ever seen. I think in a lot of ways, it's going to open up things offensively. You know, they flowers has been quiet, but did have a pretty strong week one and they do have, you know, at least a couple options at the wide receiver position. So although they missed with Rashad Beitman, I would say, it does seem like offensively, they can very much arise. Now, defensively, you know, the Mike McDonald, moving on, you know, where have the pieces kind of been? I think that was maybe the part that was the most, the most promising for where the direction that they can actually had come play off time was the fact that they completely shut down what the bills wanted to do offensively. And I think continue to kind of see that defense, defense progress is really going to be what probably closes the gap with them and can see chief. And might be the thing that finally put them over the edge come play off time because I do think, you know, for all intents purposes, the chief are very vulnerable. And it does seem like the Ravens coming out of last week are kind of that next best team and couldn't be the very much the team to potentially unseat them. Come play off Benjamin Brown on the blitz. Real quick here, pick one of these two teams to hang on to their division lead Washington or Minnesota. I mean, it's got to be Washington. You have me on before the season. We talked, I unfortunately mentioned the Carolina Panthers and the commanders. I thought two teams that can make the playoffs and potentially win their division. I think the NSCE says just set up so well through the first four weeks of the season that I got to ride with that prediction here and continue on because I do very much believe the hype and the Washington commanders this season for sure. Benjamin, thank you as always, but have a great rest of your week. Thank you. We will see you, my friend. Hit that sounder for the local 53. Our power force to discuss the local team Earl. How much fun is this and how much are you relying yourself to dream? Well, Danny, I don't have to dream. I mean, I, you know, we all, a lot of us went through this 30 years ago. I know a lot of you guys have a lot of listeners haven't, but it's, it's okay. No, it's not a dream. This is for real. You, you know, I was talking about the quarterback all, all summer when you had me on, we talk about different things and is the offensive line. Good enough to the secondary ownership, she, whatever, it's about the quarterback. You know, Ron was right about one thing, one thing only quarterback, right? Um, and they have one and they have not only a quarterback. Guys, we're four weeks into a sense into it. Sample size is starting to get, I'm not say large, but it's not one game fluke or it's a couple of good games and, you know, against two teams that, whatever, it's for real. Everybody around the NFL knows it's for real. Um, these are historic numbers, the first four weeks. And I know it doesn't make an entire season, but he is not only rookie of the year candidate. He is a legit MVP candidate the way he has played for this team. They are three and one and in front of the division. And I know a month into it doesn't win titles, but you talked about, I think, Grant earlier today, what a three and one start means football is interesting because, you know, if you start off nice in April and baseball. A lot of times it doesn't mean anything, right? But you can start this way in September and it carries through the whole year. And this is a conference that's in chaos with San Francisco. You saw the Christian McCaffrey thing now. It's not just Achilles 10 and nine is in one leg. He's got it in both legs now. So they're a mess fillies a mess. Cowboys, they got injuries to the best defensive players aren't going to play against Pittsburgh. This is for real. And yeah, I don't think it's going to stop. So dreaming, I don't think it's a dream. It's going to be a nightmare for everyone else is what it is with that quarterback. Yeah. And this offense is humming. What do you make of Cliff Kingsbury so far? It's been better than advertised. Look, I expect it's hard not to be enough great from what they had last year, Grant, and we we all know that right. Any competent football coach could be better on both sides of the football. In fact, for what we've seen last year in the past few years, Kingsbury, though, the great hope. And I think I brought this up to you guys at one point. We've been talking over the last weeks and months that you hope. Maybe he learned something from a previous stint in the NFL and get back to college. You get out of it. Sometimes you think, OK, well, like Dan Quinn as a coach, maybe you try something different. What what he's done, though, is he's, you know, he's taken what he did. And he did some good things with Kyler Murray, you know, early years in Arizona. We've talked about that, but he has a much better version of a player like that. And what what this offense, and there's a lot of quick stuff, and I know a lot of throws to the right. And what it is, though, it's a rhythm offense. It always is that way. And he's got a quarterback that has got a lot of rhythm as far as the passing and he can get rid of the ball quickly, which helped the offensive line, which has been a great surprise, especially the way the rookie left tackle third rounder has played. I mean, it's just it's one of those things where so much so much is going right that people aren't buying it. I think, Grant, some people, especially I think more locally than nationally. Look, this town has had, you know, we went through a world series and a lot of fans didn't really enjoy that at times because there was so much angst in the few years before that there was always going to be a heartbreak in the playoffs or something bad was going to happen after Jason Worth hits a home run. You're going to lose the next game and people never really believed it. And then it gets the end and they win. And then I think people don't enjoy it as much as they should. I think the same thing happened with the capitals. It was a lot of fun, but people kept waiting for the other shoe to drop and it never did. This is the only the start. But I think if you're denying yourself enjoyment for what this quarterback is and what this team is becoming, I think you're doing yourself as a sports fan, as a football fan in this town. You're doing yourself a disservice because this is for real. Can I bring something up before I go? Of course. I was I was out of the country last week in Montreal in Canada. Earl, the International Earl International Earl, that's a good one. So a proud and I put stuff on social media. I had my commander's shirt on a beautiful knock of hoodie because that's all I own. Anyway, but to a person, first of all, it's not just here. You know, they're sports fans. They see you're washing in commander's chairs and they know what it is. And they talk about the commanders, but to a person. I'm not talking about some people. I'm not talking about most people. Every single person I engage with about them. First of all, hates the name. I mean, I don't keep going back to that, but but internationally, they think it's dumb. And they wanted to go back to what they were and the logo and all that stuff. We we talk about that all the time and we know probably it's not going to happen, but it's funny. But that's a thing. This, this is a different level of thing. You know, they not only have a face of the franchise quarterback, they have now a face of the NFL type of player on this team and sky's the limit. And four weeks, he's gotten better every week. I mean, this is a lot of fun. So yeah, dream big, folks, because this is going to be a fun ride. And there's an opportunity this year, even for them to go a long way. And here's the other point I brought up on social media today on X right now. Washington is the third seed. I know it's only a month in three, play six, right? Six is the Atlanta Falcons. Could you imagine that? Yes, I can play off opener Kirk in DC. Yes. Oh my goodness. That would be a blast of a building. That would be fun. Shattered glass means it's your butt when all four C is on the blitz. Thank you. Thank you. Back going to be fresh to a winning town. Yes, sir. We are back. We are back. We are getting her all back by the way, Earl, four C on your beltway blitz. International or international as we call all socials. I wanted him to drop. He's like, there's a chance. There's a chance early. You missed your op there. There's a gleam. That felt like a golden. There's a gleam chance. There's a gleam man. I was waiting for it. Earl's the guy that taught me about the Marty Schottenheimer quote. There's a gleam man needs to play that on his show. I want to do two things. So first, I want to tell you, Danny, the Jaden Daniels is currently the biggest individual NFL award favorite on the board. Bigger lead right now than the favorite for the MVP, DPOY, OPOY, C.OY, D. Roy and CPOY. No one who's a leader in their award category has a bigger gap on the number two odds getter than Jaden Daniels. How about that? That's pretty telling. That is a big departure. I think he was third or fourth on the board coming into the season. There is something about the dual threat quarterback that just gets so much more love and attention than someone that just throws it. Like even if you compare him to C.J. Stroud, who had the amazing year last year, there's just more excitement or interest or love or hype with a. A dual threat for some reason, then like C.J. Stroud, everyone was like, this guy is awesome. But if you compare C.J. Stroud and the what how people were talking about him a year ago, at this time, to Daniels right now, it's there's. So you had to add up a few more weeks of going, hey, if we notice what's going on in Houston, C.J. Stroud's got this group playing bubble. I know Daniels had a Monday night game, which I do think is a big part of it. I think if that Bengals game was one o'clock on a Sunday, maybe the national conversation is a little bit different. But I've always said this right back to the Kirk Cousins conversations, the disrespect of guys like golf and Derek Carr. Like if you just stand there in the pocket and pick teams apart, no one really enjoys it that much unless you win. And then people are like, oh, that was good. But just not that exciting. If you are an athlete and you run around and you do it in a cool way, like some kid playing Madden, you're everybody's favorite guy. The jerseys just fly off the shelves. There's something to that going on with Jaden Daniels, where just compared to Stroud who had an or Dak even with the Cowboys. His rookie year was historical as well. Kind of on the on par with what we're seeing. Those two guys with Jaden Daniels, this is different. Well, the significance is is twofold as well. Like when I'm picking a couple names when Russell Wilson goes to a pretty good program and they do what they've done and Ben Rothelsberger takes over in Pittsburgh and hands it off. It's like, OK, it's expected. These are good organizations that know what they're about when one of the the the thing that gets stuck to the bottom of the toilet. You know what I mean, what one of the floaters emerges and actually starts playing good football. That's disgusting. You know, like the Houston Texans have been a joke. Now they're not never thinks of them as good. They were worse off than Washington was probably. And maybe that's a stretch they were as bad as you could be. Washington is a punchline and now they're not. I think it's a social media thing, honestly, mostly. I think that like NFL, Twitter, the. Operate from the pocket pick people apart. Thrower doesn't play the same way as the fun guy who ran for 72 yards. And I think people take their cues from that largely. So I think that's a big part of it, frankly, but what I love about Daniel's last two weeks is it's it's throw first. That's my dream, my, I don't really have a whole lot of interest in a quarterback that wants to run first. I think there's a ceiling on that you might win an MVP award, but I mean, it's it's really, really hard to thread the needle that way. But he is a passer who can run the last couple of weeks. That's what you can be salivating about. Do you know Devonta Adams wants to be traded by the Raiders? I've heard that. Do you know that there are people all over the league? People are suggesting that commanders should double click on Devonta Adams. Want to get into that next on Grant and Danny here on The Fan. When it comes to making plans, you are the best. What about those round trips which are perfect on your way there and perfect on your way back or those meetings with friends, surprise parties, camps, birthdays, the same way you plan for the important moments. Start planning to protect you and your loved ones from a natural disaster. Sign up for local weather and emergency alerts. Prepare an emergency kit and make a family communications plan. Get started at ready.gov/plan. Brought to you by FEMA and the Ad Council. Grant and Danny on The Fan taking you up to 630 tonight. Austin Echler of the commanders will be on the show in a half hour. Raiders star Devonta Adams considered to be one of the best wide receivers in the league has informed his team, Danny, that he prefers to be traded according to Ian Rappaport of NFL Network who says there's nothing imminent. But this is a situation to watch. This is one day after the head coach of the Raiders. Now, this is a really odd thing I'm about to say. So just track with me in 2024. The head coach of the Raiders liked an Instagram post suggesting that Devonta Adams had played his final down with the team. That was a week after that same coach Antonio Pierce. Pretty new school guy and not in the way of thinking about football because that's not the case at all. Is he a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a pterodacta, which dinosaur is he? But he's a new school guy in the way of using social media and his age, I suppose he played recently. I covered him. In fact, when he was with the Redskins here, I interviewed him as a little kid, awesome guy Antonio Pierce at the podium about a week ago, suggested without naming him that Devonta Adams had made business decisions and some things would be changing. That was after their game one week ago. Since then, Adams had some injury and wasn't able to play. And so it looks like maybe he will not be playing for them again. And they're now shopping him and trying to trade him your reaction to that. So a couple of things Adams went to the Raiders to be with his good buddy, Derek Carr, who then got benched and dealt with and traded. And he's kind of not signed up for a rebuild. He's in his thirties. He doesn't really want to be part of whatever this is. Now, I would, I would have raised my hand if I was advising him and said, that's what's going to happen. They're not going to be good for very long. You shouldn't go there, but, you know, here we are. He agitated his way out of Green Bay. Yes. Where they win all the time and where they have one since he left. Yeah, to go to a place where they never win, to play with a quarterback that is middling and was on the tail end of a contract. That was pretty clearly not going to be renewed. That's the summary, by the way, perfect. So here we are. Um, he's not thrilled. Probably not happy last year. I think he was extra miserable as they were, you know, just floundering. Not very good. He couldn't get the ball and still ended up with a pretty damn good season. By the way, but not by his standards, not what we're used to seeing in a year. The Derek Carr got benched. He went for 1500 yards and double digit touchdowns. But the guy is awesome. So I don't know that he's still has his 100 man hour fastball, but we could still throw 96, if that makes sense. So he's still a productive player who's still good. It's just now you got to find the right situation or whatever doesn't seem to be in Las Vegas. He got a five year, $140 million contract, by the way, to go to the Raiders. Man, an average salary of 28 million per year. They guaranteed him about 66 million bucks and it really starts to kick in cap wise next year, 44 million and then 45 million cap hits respectively in 25 and 26. It does, but there is a potential out after this year in that contract. So he signed that five year deal. Cap numbers as Danny just said of 44 million the next couple of seasons. But if you wanted to, if you brought him in, say this off season and then you didn't want to retain him with those cap numbers, you could get out of the deal at three years and 67 million and curring 15.7 million in dead cap, which sounds like a lot. It is a lot, but it's better than paying a guy two years and 88 million. What I think is actually more likely would be if a team trades for him, you extend him, you lower the AAV pretty massively in the cap number by tacking on, say, three years. So it's a five year deal or something like that, but he is 32 years old right now. So you're giving him like a five year deal and maybe the cap number then maxes out on the back end at 35 or 40, like three, four years down the road. So there's some financial ways to wiggle around this. I want to talk next hour about him as an option for Washington because I don't think it's going to surprise anybody to hear with the way the commanders have played early this season and their wide receiver room being led by Terry McLaurin and then week to week, either Noah Brown or Alama Deza Kies that they're actually being linked to him, not as a team that's interested or calling the Raiders. But by the people that cover the NFL saying, here's a team that makes a lot of sense. He's talked very publicly, positively about Jaden Daniels. This is a destination team because everybody loves Daniels and everybody loves Dan Quinn's backwards at Devonta Adams would want to come here at least initially. He would pretend to be a good soldier until he didn't get the ball. Washington should be interested in Devonta Adams. We can get into that next hour. I want to kick the tires on that a little bit. But yesterday on this show, Danny, it came to our attention that we needed to name the commander's offense. We don't have a name for this clinical. Nearly flawless unit that has been the best in football over the last couple of weeks. So I want to open up the MGM National Harbor listener lines at 806361067. I want people to take to Twitter or Instagram at Grand H. Paulson at Funny Danny and I want you to send your suggestions for the nickname we're going to come up with today and use henceforth for this juggernaut of an offense that Cliff Kingsbury put together, run by Jaden Daniels. Cause you know this, Danny, we love our nicknames of units in the end. We like to do that purple people leaders, steel curtain, no name defense. Greatest show on turf. The hogs or the greatest show on earth is another way you could put that. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah. Very good. A little iteration. You the fun bunch, right? We need a nickname for this offense. So I will allow you to give us our first suggestion. I brainstormed for a while and I think there are no bad ideas when you brainstorm, but I found a way to come up with several. Nothing, nothing really hits me and grabs me. I don't feel like I've got it yet, but I want to get the ball rolling. OK, I wanted something that reflects what it is that's happening. Kind of playing on a little bit of a play of words to, right? That's typically how nicknames happen. Smashing dash. And it's sort of like a smash and grab robbery, although we're not robbing anybody, but we're smashing you. Brian Robinson is going to thump and then it's stuff on the outside. A little catch and run. Isn't smashing dash an actual term? So when you like break someone's car window, grab something out of it and then run away, that's a smashing grab where there are a few of those reports written in the district Columbia over the last few years. Totally. But again, I agree with all of you guys out there. And I disagree with all the people that are wrong. Just I'm on your side. I just want to know I stand for the right thing against the thing that's bad. Politically speaking, we're voting for the same people. Yeah, like I think what exactly would you think? Um, so that's what I thought of. I don't know that I love that, but I think I like it. I think it's kind of a way to get the ball rolling. Smash and dash. I think smash and dash is actually really good. I think it's too similar to smash and grab. Like when I hear if someone just said smash and dash as I was walking through the hallway here, I would go, oh, no. Oh, no, what happened? Take right. You know, what would you lose? So that one's tough. What else you got? I have, uh, no punts. It's the no punt offense. Oh, the NPO. Yeah. Cause you're like, and you got the acronym. So I was going to go to the no punt offense, the NPO, because everyone runs the RPO, everyone's RPOing all the time. So I've got the NPO, the no punt offense, no pun offense is pretty good. Now I can't take credit for this one that I'll pitch. This is a former producer at one oh six, seven. The fan, this will date him a little bit. He was involved in the Mike Wise show, but I keep in touch with our buddy, Matty Emanuel, Matty ice. And he texted me yesterday when I said we needed a nickname for the offense. And I actually thought this one's really good. The thrill on the hill, throw on the hill. We're looking at Capitol Hill and DC, right? Just a way of another way of talking about DC, the thrill on the hill. Pretty damn good. What do you think? I like that one too. I like that one too. It's not alliteration to be clear that is rhyming, which is different than alliteration. But I think the thrill on the hill has some potential. So we've got smash and dash, throw on the hill. I really like this one, but I'm afraid people will think it's negative or like picking fun. And it's not my intention. It's working. It's awesome. It's how the league works. But here's how about this one? You know, the air raid, right? Yeah. How about the horizontal scramble rate? It's a mouthful, but there's I see what you're doing. We're trying to quantify this thing. The horizontal scramble rate. They throw the ball sideways. What about the horizontal scramble? I just sound sexual air raid. Horizontal scramble is definitely something your buddy tried in Cleveland once. Yeah, you know, like he got in a little trouble with his girlfriend. We're done. Yeah, he was in the, he was in a horizontal scramble situation. Had to get a shot of penicillin. The horizontal scramble rate too much or just right. That one's a mouthful because I see exactly what you're trying to do. And it takes everything that we're doing and puts it into a nickname. What are some nicknames of great offenses? The greatest show on turf was one. Is it more of a defensive thing? Yeah, I think of it. Usually defense, but like, I think of Rex when you, when you, I'll try one on you. When you go to the Rex Ryan team is where he's eating snacks, Mark Sanchez, et cetera. They played. Ground and pound, right? Right. That's so borrowing from wrestling, borrowing from, you know, UFC, et cetera. And you know exactly what that offense was that, that a thump you this group is there to thump and do something else too. Horizontal scramble, horizontal scramble. Thump and dash. I thought about thump and grind also, but again, thump and grind is pretty good. Yeah. Why are all of yours a lot like things that have nothing to do with football? That's where my mind goes. So again, this is a brainstorming session. We're just playing like some random usher, my confessions or something while the thump and grind works their way down the field. So here's what we got. I'm just thinking all the time. Steel curtain, defense, fearsome for some defense. Greatest show on turf of it. Purple people eaters, defense, doomsday, defense, the 70s. Yeah. Legion of boom, monsters of the midway. No name defense with the posse, the triplets, orange, crush, the hogs. Yep, the posse, the fun bunch, New York sack exchange. It is mostly defense. That shouldn't stop us. Nope. What's your favorite so far? I think NPO is better than throw on the hill. Cause they know there's no nobody plays on the hill. They'll do anything on the hill. They're an ash burn in the Northwest. We're just calling them. It's just DC. I know what it is. Yeah. And then in anything in DC, I could see it. I like throwing the hill to the no pun offense, the NPO. The NPO took the field. Tresway, punted twice. All right. Let's go to Mike who's in DC on Grant and Danny. What's up, Mike? What's up, fellas? So I'm driving just kicked down my little one from school. So I thought about a nickname for the offense. We don't call him the capital punishment. Cause the way we be punishing defenses, we just taken over. And also capital punishment, the new nickname for the commander's defense. I like it. Well, the problem is it is a defensive name. And the nickname for the defense already is, where are you? But that was the old Redskins defense nickname. Well, they won the Super Bowl and 91. Exactly. But it's a punishment is defense, not offense, in my opinion. Like if we were doing a topic because they'd given up three points and they had forced all of the puns, there's been one scoring drive. Maybe you could go convince me of capital punishment. This is the offense. This is a different thing all together. 806361067 is the number thump and grind. I'm going to throw out. I'm just going to say that one doesn't have legs. Although I do want to say these are my confessions. Horizontal scramble rate. You're throwing that. I got to throw it out even though I know it's it's the right thing. But I just can't say it. It's so good, though. It describes what you're going to say. It's like what it is. Smashing dash. Smashing dash. I like it. I still like that one. We'll keep it. I feel like someone just broke the glass on my driver's side window. Thrill on the hill. I'm keeping. I'm sorry, but I'm keeping it. Don't don't apologize to me. But I know you you're not happy about the whole DC thing. I'm perfectly happy. Oh, you don't like that. They don't play in. I don't I don't love the fact that there's nothing. They went back to RFK stadium. Now you've got to throw in the hill. Thrill on the hill. Thrill on the hill. 806361067. We need a name for an offense that never punts, moves the ball with these. And that is coordinated by a very handsome bearded gentleman G and D on the fan. [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] The name the commander's offense. Welcome back, Grant and Danny. Here are some of the names we've gotten on social at Grant H. Paulson at Funny Danny. Michael says DC Express. Love that. Joe says the command crew. That's a no for me, dog. Respectfully, thank you so much for listening and for your input. I hate that one. We like you. You're a wonderful dude. I'm thinking of the movie was it Will Ferrell is like a dart in his neck. Old school. Yes. He's like. That is awesome. I like you, but you're crazy, crazy. [LAUGH] I like you, but no, that's crazy. Jason says the Surgeon Generals. We're precise like Surgeons. >> Okay, okay. >> Don't hate that at all. BP says he's a sci-fi guy. How about Hyperdrive? Hyperdrive's kind of neat. >> Hyperdrive. >> Dynamic, Dan Berry, Daniels and Kingsbury. That reminds me of the lady from, what's the Netflix show? Where they, Bridgerton, Lady Dan's Berry. >> Lady Dan Berry. >> Any file? >> Yeah, I think I watched him. >> Delta Force. New offense, nickname is Air Raid. I can't do that. It's already a thing and they don't really do the Air Raid thing. The Capitol Offensive. Chuck and Thrive or Chuck and Dive. Someone has this one. Thump and Dump. >> Thump and Dump? >> Thump and Dump's pretty damn good. >> Here's one. This is born from somebody on Twitter. I'm at funded anti-grants at Grand H. Paulson. A variant of this, okay? Like Loki season two. What about college offense? In honor of the jackass from Cincinnati. Talking a little yang yang? >> That's Mr. Taylor Britt. >> How about the college offense? >> CTB, Cam Taylor Britt, that's great. My favorite three so far, Thrill on the Hill. Smash and Dash, Thump and Dump. And I'll get rid of Smash and Dash and I'll see my top two or Thrill on the Hill and Thump and Dump. Where are you at? >> NPO, 'cause I like just, we use acronyms here. Government uses acronyms. Everybody acronyms all the time, the NPO. Thrill and Dump. >> I think Darius dumped that. >> Yeah, Danny speaks then Dump. That's the name of the offense. >> I'm pretty sure Darius dumped that one. Just kidding. >> Boy, that's a stock term. It's not the thing that you guys are thinking of. >> That's certainly one use. >> It is, that is what I meant it as. >> I can think of another use. >> It's where a value is, it's a crime. It's over-inflated and then people sell it for a profit. That's, I don't know what you guys are talking about. >> Let's go to Kevin. >> Ridiculous, both of you. All three of you ganging up on me. >> Kevin, hey boys, how about this? The burgundy blast. Or how about the score and score? I don't know. I do know this. I know the slogan. That is, this offense cooks. >> Hey, we're in the lab. We got the chef hats on. Sorin score. Is that a, pay an homage to the old hell to the Redskins? >> Could be. >> Right? There's, it doesn't incorporate enough of the fact that Brian Robinson's going to hit you between the teeth. >> Exactly. >> 75 times. >> All right. I'm not adding any of those to the file. I like the, very good though. Very good suggestions. TJ and Fairfax, nickname for the offense. >> We got the big red dog, Clifford's big red dog. >> The Clifford bit. >> Oh my gosh. When I saw it in the call screen, I'm like, big red dogs is terrible. But he's gone with a Clifford for Cliffy Kingsbury. Dogs DAWGS, I think is what we're going. They've got dog in them. Let's go to crash and co-pepper on G&D. What's up crash? >> Yeah, I like hybrid drive, but I'm going DMV Express instead of DC Express, DMV Express. >> DMV Express. Yeah. So that's the second Express we've got. >> Mm-hm. >> It's just a train. They're just moving down the tracks. You're not stopping. >> Not the local. They're running over you because they just, we don't punt. We don't get off the field on third or fourth down. We just, that's the end zone. We're headed that way. >> I'm thinking of stuff that has to do with Express, like something incorporating the toll road, because that's what takes you to Ashburn, it's very like DMV area that we already paid for the roads with taxes. We also have to pay again, just to drive on the roads. >> Oh, sure. Let's go to Callahan in Minnesota listening on the always free honestly. >> So somebody break that. >> Tommy boy, what's up? >> What up guys? All right. I was walking to my truck from work. I was in a meeting. I threw the app on and I heard you guys were talking about names. Came to my mind and split second death, throw, because we have the most accurate freaking quarterback in the league right now. >> Death throw is pretty good. >> Death throw is pretty good. >> That's really good. Death throw. It's not death by paper cut. >> No. >> Death by throw. >> Death throw. >> Yeah, like death row the old. >> Death row DC? >> Exactly. Death throw. Death row DC. >> Remember that? Yeah. >> Although, again, the same way I felt weird about the smashing dash, people are going to hear that and then death row. >> Oh, I know what they're going to think, yeah. >> Death throw. I love it. >> But that's really good though. >> It should be the answer. We just live in a time where you can't do anything fun. Remember that. It can't be overly creative or overly fun. >> So you have to imagine. When you're thinking of names or being fun, somebody in six months reading a transcript, and then they called it death row. The number of homicides in America, you know, like ruining everything, you always have to picture the unfun person reading the transcript. >> Yeah. >> There's an unfun person waiting to ruin your time. On the lines right now, we've got the steamroll battalion in or out. >> Out. I like the idea though. I know exactly what they're going for. >> Burgundy braid. >> Braid, like berating people or berating people. >> I guess. >> You're berating someone? >> Burgundy bruisers. >> Something. >> East Coast offense. >> Ooh. >> Kind of like that. >> Oh, a little bit. >> The DMV and the Burgundy Blender. >> East Coast offense. >> So I think we've, for a Twitter poll, I want to put thrill on the hill, thump and dump, no punt offense, and East Coast offense on the polls. >> I'll agree. >> Should we include anything else? >> Nope, do that. >> Well, we'll run these by Austin Echler and see what he likes. He's going to join the show coming up in a few minutes. If you guys want to ask Austin Echler a question, you can hit us up at 800-636-106-7.
