Standig Room Only: A show about the Washington Commanders and D.C. sports

The Athletic's Ben Standig is back and talking about how the Washington Commanders might change, well, many things amid a three-game losing streak. Ben goes position by position to see what upside moves are even feasible. That includes the secondary where changes are coming after Darrick Forrest and Jeremy Reaves land on IR. That hurts the defense and special teams, but also creates playing time for Quan Martin, right? Also what to make of holding serve with the coaching staff, Chase Young's stats and more.

The Athletic's Ben Standig gets everyone ready -- and hopefully less angsty -- for the Commanders' Week 4 road game against the 3-0 Philadelphia Eagles. How will Washington and Sam Howell rebound after that Bills debacle? Logan Thomas' return helps. Better red-zone production and limiting turnovers against a playmaking defense would as well.

The Athletic's Ben Standig talks big and small picture after the Commanders' brutal 37-3 loss to the Bills with Grant Paulsen (106.7 The Fan). So much went wrong, namely the inexperience of Sam Howell and the OL allowing an ungodly amount of pressures. The thing is, we knew these would be issues. How much of an issue after that performance? But there's also a sackless showing from the defense, a lack of playmaking from Jahan Dotson, Eric Bieniemy sleeping on the run game, and another Antonio Gibson fumble. Lots to discuss.
