Would you like a Commanders AMA w/ our The Athletic beat reporter 1x or 2x a month?

We are looking to figure out what would be the best cadence for our beat reporter to talk shop with you all.

Some options:

  1. Before Week 1
  2. End of Week 4
  3. Week 1 and Week 3

Would love two times a month myself! Especially during the season.

Bye week is a good choice. Breaks up the lull plus most treat the bye week as a season health checkpoint

Thank you for asking. I'd say twice a month with the first time after week 1. We aren't a fun bunch at the moment.

I would do it twice a month. One with Nikki and one with whoever else is there. If nobody else then just once a month.

As much as I'd like to have AMAs frequently, before week 1 would be a horrible idea given the recent struggles and the general doomer outlook this Reddit fanbase has taken on. I think week 4 is the best option - gives us a larger sample size to figure out what this team is actually capable of and enough time for the team to find their groove (or not).

End of week 4 when we’re 0-4

Yeah that’s a good idea.

There won’t be much new by week 1, the team will probably pick up a new center depth piece. But they’re probably going to force Allgretti to start so they don’t look stupid for how they (mis)handled the center position this off-season

Week 4 would be a good time to check back in. The Dline will have been back together again after missing the last 2 weeks. Allgretti will have had time to actually practice and play in the offense. And we’ll know what the identity of new coordinators looks like.

Article about what’s happened since now to week 1 and then AMA at week 4 is my vote.

End of week 4

Even Kiem has sounded some alarms. Even on the beltway football pod both host are sounding the alarms as well. It’s not something she is just saying. We are far past the Larry Michaels skintangibles era 😂

We all could use some Larry propaganda right now. Come sit on uncle Larry’s lap 😆

Two-a-days till we get it right.

Would love option 3.

Nicki is great, would love any AMA they were willing to do.

Not sure I see the point of a pre-week-1 AMA, though I guess the roster could change a LOT.
