Hail To The District Podcast

NOTE: This was recorded Wednesday, October 4th. HTTD's Pat and Rajan convene for a mid-week episode to discuss their thoughts on the Washington Commanders through the first four weeks of the 2023 season. They discuss Sam Howell (obviously), the defense leaving much to be desired, key players to date and moving forward, and their thoughts on the remainder of the Commanders' schedule.

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati provides a short and miserable recap of the Washington Commanders' 37-3 loss to the Buffalo Bills. That includes recognizing the fact that Buffalo is a really good team, calling out the fact that Washington repeatedly squandered chances to compete in this game, and identifying the most critical takeaway moving forward -- specifically in terms of quarterback Sam Howell.

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice provide their final takeaways from the Washington Commanders' 35-33 win against the Denver Broncos, before looking ahead to next Sunday's contest. Their conversation includes: Sam Howell is "HIM" at quarterback for Washington, dubbing this the "Welcome back Chase Young" game (17:57), and Sunday's matchup against Buffalo being an enormous "measuring stick game" (28:57).

HTTD's Rajan Nanavati and Pat Rice provide their thoughts on the Washington Commanders' win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1 of the 2023 season. The conversation includes: Washington's defensive line taking things into their own hands and changing the tide of the game (5:28), the difference in mindset brought by Eric Bieniemy and manifested by Sam Howell (8:44), Andrew Wylie (13:18) and Antonio Gibson (16:16) being absolute disasters, and an early look ahead to the Denver game as well as much of the first half of Washington's schedule (22:37).

In their second annual version of this podcast, HTTD's Rajan Nanavati is rejoined by John to project how the top 10 picks of the NFL Draft will shake out, and their favorite bets to make based on those predictions. Highlights include: the Jayden Daniels vs. Drake Maye debate #2 for the Washington Commanders (4:42), the LA Chargers being the "Draft starts here" pick at #5 (16:50), if the New York Giants will trade up for a quarterback (22:15), the under-the-radar dark horse selection for the Titans at #7 (29:24), the Jets debating offensive line or Brock Bowers at #10 (44:45), their favorite team-position prop bets (52:31), and their favorite player over/under prop bets (1:02:04).
