The Bears had three ribs inside the 5 yard line and point in coming up here momentarily were going to head to Chicago would welcome a commanders insider is there at the game so will get the lay of the land. Yes, it's a win and ends a four-game losing skid but at the same time that there is so much swirling around the commanders right now that will talk to Ben standing of the athletic and our Washington DC affiliate 1067 the fan whenever he's ready. Producer Carlos can you tell me when is he ready now. Okay she did after hours with Amy Lawrence here on CBS sports radio were live from the rocket mortgage Studios when you need to catch out of your home and a simple way to get it rock it can bad things about her couple of minutes, especially for this been a long evening for you. How would you describe the game that the commanders just survived and one Howard. I mean. But like a week weaker felt like a bomb game go quickly with all that it will all delete chaotic bar and forward looking out over the winter are all built go through with regard to the fact that what you said that they held their 0.5 while I fully understand how the O'Donnell movie somehow get the ball over the goal line on it so it and when again with close to 199 yard.

I don't think that what we want you to know them but felt it appropriate later in family group everything swirling around before they got onto the field but looking at this game and knowing what you know about their first six weeks. One of the biggest issues for the commanders right now. Then on all wanted it covered sample for most of the year that were already down 40 starter from week one and they were giving up even the trust Kuester and Carson went among his concerns of the replevin from the pocket and that really by falling a lot of off of the production we were able to talk to Brian Robinson evening is most expensive work returned to football, and I think that's going to help them a lot, but right now that you are really struggling, you scored what all points like only be good not to get your old book better team about coming up to Green Bay next week think that's the biggest thing to be going pretty well. The last four games. At this point so there's some problems are the off of them really to figure out a way to start generating just as a side note 12.26 all the Colts managed last week and winning it over time so that's back to back Thursday night football games where the winter is only managed 12 boys yelled, but not so with a product that we've seen to start off these weeks in football. Ben Stanek is with the athletic covering the commanders also with RDC affiliate 1067 the fan still in Chicago following Thursday night football it's after hours on CBS sports radio Brian Robinson may be the bright spot. The highlight certainly a story that goes far beyond football.

What have you seen and heard from his teammates as he's come back from not even seven weeks ago being shot twice in the leg will fire watching the pretty nonchalant about the whole thing. We will have a chance to really talk to him on the record with you over the last week we've been in the locker room for several thousand people turned to you wouldn't have any idea what pretty well all cattle battered and his teammates recognize how incredibly lucky you got well clearly but you will be a lot of inspiration for Madden football thought of the shark during training camp. You don't you start running back in his first two games of the NFL coming after you stop what that's pretty insane but also spoke a lot about what you show this team during the summer you'll like it was also a veteran, but Ron Rivera admittedly had a really bad day on Monday and his taking ownership of his comment in which he essentially said the quarterback is the reason why the commanders are losing team and art sitting right there with the other teams in the NFC East and competing now. He did try to explain it.

I know he apologized and he spoke to the team but what what do you make of that moment is just to not generally what you hear from Ron Rivera known to have a dapper trooper sure was always in the room kind of new what he meant what he know you can't say why why are you guys trailing one word answer back without blaming it.

Matt Perry from Washington good job of following up on madman get pecking away thing about it is on the beat know she has been very defensive of anybody criticizing Carson went yes you president if you okay and that with somebody who criticizing Carson once they rose on out-of-the-way defendant guy and I know because I want to punch you back. Nothing terrible you deftly not the sole use of the bad so I get why the outside wall just assumed Dr. Leveille is going clearly created a distraction flow no PI mental lapse will be recommended in Waterloo to me.

You said you were around him a lot hear them a lot you can understand what he is trying to say. So what was he trying to say well that's probably what he was trying to save you a lot of what he was trying to say that even in the time you've been there you in 2020. They have not been able to build around a quarterback because they've gone through several of her quarterback went to the best one that so far in terms of lease dispute, but we don't make any sense to you, then pointed to the other teams in the division that they've had the opportunity which is not really true. Dallas yes it had… But he also has employment euros we help for the last several weeks, Cooper wash up but nondescript backup when all games of the giant is accented by Dingell bill also use with the force. Your coach if you're learning a new system yet… Same level. Carson went Philadelphia met with Jennifer very good year but a lot of questions about income again so that you felt it was weird when I get frustrated that they have been able to get this most important position annually probably is some strength because one has a completely you know solve all their problems brought yeah I don't know what he was trying to say that faith was points below the claim, except what you make out the report and then they came out on Thursday that obviously set Rivera off post game that it wasn't him but it was Dan Snyder who pressed for Carson went like this whole thing would've essentially died after the game. You know it, we we move on so quickly the NFL.

There's so much happening in the new cycle but man I just added fuel to a fire to embers that maybe were about to go out but were quite there yet someone actually they could claim that they wanted a player who most people actually think you would want to stake a claim the things you wanted this guy but I will even want a very creative fact was behind this move again. It's easy you hear dance writers for the want of God. They are tighter to the meddling owner open for the majority of his career and most of the comedy of metal.

It's been a mess and the letters recently of 2019 draft when he warned them to take when asking for the rest of the organization didn't. But in this case I really do think Rivera was the one who wanted it. And you know why you so angry about it.

I don't know exactly a combination of being no not because they just want them you know he probably just had enough of all this class, you know the spoiler for him to be more, and there's always more, you never met up with Mary Sue defense is because it is bringing back up what happened earlier in the week and the fact that that he still put himself into the middle of it by what he said on Monday.

Ben Stanek is with us from Chicago after the commanders when and yet is not a lot of mirth around then. I love excited about it right now. He covers the team for the athletic and also you can hear my 1067 the fan are CBS sports radio Philly in DC.

It's after hours here on CBS sports radio Dan Snyder chance sell the team. They were behind Brian Robinson on Thursday night football post game on Amazon prime. So he's talking about getting shot in coming back and you could hear the fans sell the team. Obviously Al Michaels address it as well on primary we played. I hear last hour how loud of the calls there for someone who lives in and in the market covers the team extensively. How loud is that noise getting been 001.

Quiet meeting so we people of checked out that they don't even care anymore. People are calling for this for what what happened over the last couple of years of investigation, the organization, so we bought a new a new focus on this, but you'll from a purely football perspective it's been a mess. Basically the entire time and you know what I grew up in the area. I was a fan of the team going up and it is insane to think where they fall in and to markets can only get any better anytime soon and go yeah man you know I think a lot of this report.

The report absolutely was a believer computer help a lot of kind of a we had departed, known, but regardless, Laura Neverland and Yorkville if that would help you select how much do you believe that his role with the team. Even though he's been suspended and not supposing part of day-to-day operations, but his role in the way he's run the team has to do with the fact that they haven't been able to find any type of success in recent years old. We have here because a lot of things no more than what you have some interesting coaches caught him over the last you know your barometer among them. But going to Because of Barrera. You have access to Carolina also have the 11 year RESPONSIBILITY for in order to get a guy like Rivera's letterhead. If you can build responsibility for part of the walk is your personnel. It's really not. No matter deeply probably wish it was more the start of years ago so comics keep going and going and I thought all the try to make yourself available. Ever I might cover the team time to 2015 and several years for the freelance way before that I have never spoken to him while I will work with him on account number on the one hand you not around and no matter for the players. They probably feel but everything else is another spinal weird sort of dysfunction that I would cry would I would cry about it one euro you'll mostly talk of the Fargo challenge for you. Not kidding about me but I know it's only my friends and family will just annoyed angrier at this point if you become apathetic ego.

Then I just wanted practices question by Sam a huge Ron Rivera stand and I don't believe that it's ever as simple as being a coaches fault as you mention.

He does have some administrative responsibilities and and certainly some say over the roster is his job in jeopardy I don't think so.

You know why we look at it. Wanted to do with one thing about Rivera's team like the last year he started 15 and seven mine would B good note that your trip when were terrible and used last year there were 216 been worthwhile for Noel to actually be in the position to be a wildcard team only for injuries in a covert outlay, take them down so I know mine are still in this.

But here's the problem. Work you don't just getting back on 500. Even with the possible the 500th getting back to middle know that's not about one another and moving to the next level and I think that's where you know what happens this way I could see the end of the year will bring the discussion about his future.

But I don't think now only okay that's all I need is a little more trauma and more controversy seems like.

Then you operate at this level. What would you do if they were actually a winning team and there was no drama would you even know how to write or how to cover the team. Now I don't actually my colleagues what I felt like you'll hit me up in our sweat sweat play like I can't even understand how you feel you left on the other hand, I know I tried to log some teamwork now.

Not much happening and that's a whole other cordially unalloyed applicable life started to display a positive signal at all times and you have no choice but to do just that right exactly all-consuming. You can find then on twitter had been standing as TAN DIG covers the commanders in the NFL for the athletic also with our affiliates in DC team 980 and 1067 the fan and I love the name of his podcast standing room only.
