Hour 2 - More Under Center Debate, Plus New Coordinator Omits Wagner & Payne

from The Chris Russell Show

Hour 2 dives deep into the ongoing under center vs. shotgun debate and why the focus ultimately comes down to Jayden Daniels’ performance. Chris Russell argues that if Daniels, or his backups play well, the scheme debate becomes irrelevant. The conversation continues with audio from ESPN analysts Dan Orlovsky and Ryan Clark, who highlight the benefits of playing under center, with Russell offering his counterpoints. The hour then shifts to the Commanders’ defensive coordinator press conference, noting the curious omission of veterans Bobby Wagner and Daron Payne. Russell weighs in, explaining why their absence doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t return next season and shares his prediction on which veteran might stick around.
