What is your hottest commanders take, your boldest commanders proclamation after five weeks that you actually believe? 800-636-1067. I'm going to give you a couple of examples. Okay. Yeah, I want to have one like follow-up tweak question. The first would be Cliff Kingsbury will be the most sought after head coaching candidate in the 2025 cycle. I think that's pretty bold, right? They could obviously take a big step back in the second half as his teams offensively normally do. He was a head coach very recently. It didn't go well, but I think, you know, guys like Brian Flores are going to get a job. There's a lot of assistance out there that are trending in the right direction right now. I think Cliff Kingsbury will be the most sought after head coaching candidate in the 2025 cycle. That's a good one. Another one I've got here. I said yesterday, I thought the commanders would win the NFC East. That's a that's a that works, by the way, still. Like that's bold. They're not favored to. The Eagles are still supposed to. A lot of people are waiting for the other shoe to drop. What about this? The commanders are good enough to make a deep playoff run. That's a hot take. That's crazy to say out loud. That's one of those things on October 8th that you say it with your chest. You look like a fool a couple months from now. But the hottest take I can give you right here this moment, Danny, that I kind of believe deep down is that this team is very much good enough to and I could kind of see them string and play off wins together. So when I drop my hot take that I actually believe I'm not like going on record saying this is going to happen. This is this is almost like bold prediction type stuff where I'm going. This is well within the realm of possibilities is no one's talking about. That's all I'm thinking of. This is a I could see this happening. It's not crazy and the caveat is on the back end. You kind of think it might. Yeah. See what I'm saying? I wouldn't predict it. I'm not putting money on it, but I kind of think it's so I got a couple of those. If you'd like to hear him here, go. Here we go. Number one, you're looking at a coach of the year finalist. That's Dan Quinn. His hat's going to be on backwards when he accepts right there. It'll be him. It'll be Kevin O'Connell, a couple other guys. When you inherit a hot garbage fire that won four games all last year, then you went ahead and tied that wind total through five weeks. You're on the radar. You will be the darling of the league. He's a coach of the year finalist. That is my first hot take. Similarly, Jayden Daniels will be an MVP finalist. Jayden Daniels is going to finish in the conversation for MVP. I don't believe it went. Somebody else is going to just because that's how it goes, but he will be a finalist for the MVP. There'll be a top three finish right now. He's fifth. What's bold about that is you've got him getting closer to the top, not further away. Mm hmm. Those are good. I'll give you one more. This one's a deeper cut. Tyler Beaudish right now should be the front runner for first team all pro at center. I think he's been that good. Tyler Beaudish has been whooping but and taking names. No penalties, pressures are scarce. He's gotten everybody lined up correctly and helped Jayden Daniels a young quarterback with a lot of protections and things. I think Beaudish is one of the best players through five games that rarely gets talked about on this team right now. You got one more before we hit the phone's 800 6361067. We're getting to you now. This defense will finish just outside the top 10 in nearly every meaningful metric. No way. Yeah. Well, if that happens, not only are they winning the division, but they're there. Nobody's going to want to see them in January. They are marching up their rankings. So they won't be they won't finish top 10 in things, but you're going to look up and go, did you notice that because their start was so bad that no one's going to think about it this way, but they're going to be in the in the low teens in a number of a meaningful category. Oh, when the skins come marching in. Oh, when the skins come marching in that one to be in that number. There's another song about them that I'm trying to remember. It go. Oh, there it is. Yep. Barbara Shubstock fight for our commanders. How many wins do they have right now? Four. How many losses do they have? One hit the damn music, Daris. Play it loud. Play it proud.
