    Jeremy Greene was excellent
    Enjoyed his un biased evaluations. Have him on again.

    #1 Redskins Podcast…
    …If Logan would quit clearing his throat a dozen times an episode.

    POD Review
    I really enjoy the podcast and like how Logan goes so in depth with the X’s & O’s. Highly enjoyable show.
  • The Crafty Lefty
    Logan is great (when he’s able to get a word in)
    Logan Paulsen has amazing insight and knowledge of NFL football. Unfortunately, Craig seems to think he’s still hosting his solo radio show and constantly rambles on and/or cuts Logan off mid-thought. Dude, Logan is the reason people listen. Let him talk more.
  • Surfinmet99
    Logan is great.
    Gave the show three instead of five strictly because of Craig. Logan is great. Can’t get enough of his analysis and insight. He deserves five stars. Craig, on the other hand, tries harder than anyone I’ve ever heard to project himself as an expert. You’re not an expert. You’re not fooling anyone. We don’t care to hear your “film” breakdown. Just ask questions. You have a great asset on the show with Logan. Just play the host. Hard to get through some episodes for this reason. Seems like an easy change to make, but he seems like the type who’s too insecure to take constructive criticism.

    Great information
    Great pod. Logan’s analysis is very insightful and trustworthy due to his experience as a NFL player. Craig is a great teammate and leads the discussion. He’s an expert as well.

    Great Podcast
    This is one of my favorite podcasts to listen too.. It’s very informative and LP’s knowledge of the game, team, players and coaches makes the podcast stand above most of the other podcasters out there. LP asked for show ideas and I have one. How about doing a show on what a “walk through” is, what installing the offense means, what a nickel/dime defense is, what it means when they say Daniel’s is ahead of most rookies on understanding “protections” and any other football vernacular you can think of that your average layperson might not know.

    Informed Commanders Talk
    New and informed. Love all the talking heads but these guys speak from real experience. Clear, level headed. Come away knowing more than their opinion. Know the owners, coaches, and players. Five stars. Owen. Fort Lauderdale. Fan since 1966..

    Definitely the best
    Very thankful for the excellent work both these guys put into this podcast. I love in Kansas City and these guys keep me connected. And both are very smart analysts and not hypey.
  • HTTRallweather
    Best insightful analysis on the “Topgolf group interviews”
    This podcast stands out. Logan and Craig, with Charles Davis gave excellent, insightful and most importantly unbiased analysis on why the Topgolf group interviews were critical after all the technical aspects of those top quarterbacks are known. Their informative comments put those talking heads (e.g. PFT) to shame!!

    Insightful
    Craig and Logan provide a keen and insight view on the WFT. Thank you and keep up the good work .
  • CC12345@12345
    Excellent Show!!
    Fantastic podcast for any Washington fan who enjoys more technical analysis on the game. Highly recommended. Thanks for a great podcast guys!!
  • Jacksonpowell
    Soothes the pain
    The hosts are two wonderful communicators with a gift. I love listening to them. That’s the cherry on top of the knowledge they share breaking down games and discussing all things commanders. Especially after games when I need to know why.

    OL
    When I hear u say the OL was find before the change in LR and center I have questions, about your knowledge of football. U can see clean pocket in front of the QB and more time since change I give QB time to develop
  • Mychookie
    Enough with the Bonus Episodes
    If I want to hear half an episode I will. I don’t need you loading the same content multiple time…that isn’t a bonus, it is a duplicate If I want to listen to another person’s Podcast, I will. I don’t need you putting it under your name and calling it a Bonus..it isn’t…it is SPAM
  • P!$$$$ed Off!
    Typically a pretty good show but…
    Today was wayyyy over the top on a QB that has lost 2/3s of his games. Kind of discredits the show a little but generally it’s good with interesting updates and other pertinent team information.
  • Shauntoochie
    I disagree
    Listening to the episode where you guys are comparing Dax Milne and Kaz Allen. I disagree with the both of you and think Kaz makes this team and he’s going to return punts and kicks. Dax has only proven that he can catch a punt and do nothing else with it…Kaz returned primarily kicks in college but returned punts in high school, so he knows how to do it not to mention his time in UCLA he lined up in the backfield which Dax can’t do and he’s good in the slot. So if Kaz has a good game against Baltimore, he makes this team over Dax if they choose to keep 6 WR.

    Best Commanders related podcast
    Craig and Logan do a great job on breaking down the tape. I have always loved the game of football. Listening to Logan break down more technical knowledge of the game has educated me in more nuanced intricacies in the game. Craig has great insight into the business operations and media and really has great questions. Keep it up guys, it’s a must listen for regular and bonus episodes.
  • pcolaskins
    Outstanding
    I listen to all things Skins related, this team is top notch and the best listen in town
  • ZHyde
    One of the Best
    This podcast has quickly risen to one of, if not the, best Commanders podcasts there is. Everything you want, nothing you don’t. Only criticism is I wish they would stop releasing parts of each episode as “Bonus” episodes. They aren’t bonus episodes, they just take up memory on my phone. That being said, I can deal with it. Great content.
  • AvidListner321
    Great Show
    Great information.
  • aye oh.
    Smartest guy on the room.
    Terrific for X’s and o’s. Scott is good but Logan is the star

    Always a good listen ! Thanks for your efforts.
  • jbbwesteastlol
    Great crew
    It is a must listen!
  • Van hagger
    Great Commander’s talk
    The best by far for Commanders talk, Logan is very knowledgeable about personal & scheme should be a GM or coach, Craig is also very good & they have good chemistry, keep up the good work guys!
  • Turtle980
    STOP With the Bonus extras
    Please stop releasing the full pod then the “bonus” pods of just segments of the full pod. It makes no sense and no other real legitimate podcast does such nonsense. Just release the full pod and cut the stupid bonus crap out! This show would be soooo much better if it was with Logan and John Keim, Craig is extremely hard to listen to and brings the show down with his weird annoying “humour”
  • espn980listener
    My Go-To Commanders podcast
    I listen to 4 or 5 Commanders podcasts but I listen to this one first. Great clarifying insights into the Commanders games and teams. No what-I-had-for-dinner, no how-drunk-I-got, no Dan Snyder rants (though he deserves them)…just NFL football. THANK YOU! Logan is special but Grant brings a lot too. Got me listening to his radio show off this podcast.
  • ridgely
    Outstanding podcast
    Logan and CH. A fantastic pair. Great breakdown and analysis. I’m thinking a LP jersey. He would make an outstanding coach. Listen to CH daily on 980.
  • trajanovich
    Goto Commanders Podcast!
    Craig and Logan are a great combination and this is now my go to Commanders podcast. The in-depth play specific breakdowns of key moments of a game are greatly appreciated and they do it at a much quicker pace then say NFL Matchup that spend 5-10 minutes doing one play. I love the Immediate Reaction episodes as I have the strongest feelings about the game, right after the game.
  • Skiggidy
    Good show
    Logan is the best X’s and O’s guy in town right now. And Craig is annoying but knows about the team.
  • Unbeachbod
    Great show
    Love the pod a lot of great insights. I just wish sometimes Craig dials it back a little, it sounds like he’s trying to be the expert instead of Logan

    Washington commanders colors
    Just wanted to give my opinion about your horrible opinion on the teams colors. The burgundy and gold is iconic. For anyone to even suggest that really doesn’t understand the teams history and culture. Shame on you!! But here’s 5 stars.
  • DC21987656789
    Good analysis
    Logan is 5 stars. I search him out on other shows because he does better without CH. CH needs to stop trying to do breakdown and analysis IMO. Seems likable and polished but tries to do Logan’s job and even cuts him off on occasion. Still a great show.
  • Natetfromdc
    Very good
    Paulsen REALLY knows his stuff. Very informative. Hoffman is a polished broadcaster, obviously doesn’t really know football, lots of cringy moments when he pretends, but he sets up Logan well so definitely worth a listen.
  • Conduitjc
    Love this show
    Logan and Craig are both great at breaking down the games. Logan does finish nearly every thought with “right,” which grates on my nerves and keeps me from listening to multiple shows at a time, but they are super knowledgeable.
  • LongtimefanfromND
    The Best
    I love this podcast! It’s very interesting, informative and does the best job with balance. It doesn’t make you feel like your listening to just a couple of homers but it also doesn’t make you hate yourself for being a Commanders fan like some of the others.
  • Ken DC Native
    My #1 Commanders Pod
    Logan is simply the best and Craig tees up questions and navigates the show tremendously.
  • Madavis5050
    Great!
    Very good podcast, gets deep in the details.
  • Kevin O'L
    Great content!!
    Wow I have been listing to sports talk radio for over 40 years and this podcast has by far the most in-depth content. Keep it up guys I am hooked
  • Deen A.H.
    I like it
    In the sea of podcasts this is one of the more insightful and interesting ones I’ve found on the commanders. Definitely recommend it.
  • Jmilly12
    The Best
    Craig was always one of my favorite beat reporters and I missed his in-depth insight the last few years. He and Logan make a great team.
  • amerriam
    Nick Merriam
    Craig and Logan are great and experienced. They truly look to think critically about this team and many of the challenges they face to succeed.
  • AK in NC
    Great insight
    Logan provides detailed insight in a very easy to understand format. Great Job!
  • fiddlinmike
    Great content from guys who know the team.
    The title says it all.
  • SBassler
    It’s just so flippin’ good!
    Craig, & Logan have awesome chemistry! CH actually knows what he’s talking about, and is very easy to understand . LP knows the game inside and out and his breakdowns are on another level! Just as good as another former TE that played for this team years ago!
  • CSpillman111
    True Commanders fans look no further!
    I’ve spent 12 years listening to ALL the top available analysts and podcasts on the Commanders. There are a few that give what we’re looking for but this podcast is different. Logan Paulson, in my opinion is the best and smartest analyst that exists in Commanderland. Craig Hoffman does a great job as podcast point guard to set Logan up for the slam dunk in footbal analysys. Craig also foes great interviews which balances out the show. Im hooked! #dreamteamplaycaller #realfootballtalk #takecommand
