COWBOYS PREVIEW: Debating whether Washington will make adjustments for Dallas, then JP interviews Daron Payne Sep 30, 2022

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get in and out on their portion of this Washington Football Talk, as they quickly assess what the Commanders could do to take care of the Cowboys — and more importantly, whether the coaching staff will actually have them do any of it. After their typical pregame segments, they toss to JP's one-on-one with Daron Payne, where the defensive tackle walks JP through his excellent start to the season and what the frustration level is like on the team's defense currently. If you like podcasts where Pete's lack of contributions to a group dinner is recounted and the hosts are at odds over whether Washington's going to be desperate enough to change their ways on the field, then this is the episode for you.

After failing to bounce back against the Eagles, do the Commanders truly bounce back versus the Cowboys? Sep 28, 2022

Show notes

After a brief JP Finlay rant about the area's level of traffic at the start of the program, he, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get right into this weekend's important Commanders-Cowboys tilt. Is this a bounce-back game for Ron Rivera's club (even though last week was supposed to be a bounce-back game)? How can the team stand up against Dallas' relentless pass rush? And what can Carson Wentz be expected to do? The hosts each ask and answer those questions in what's a nice initial preview of the matchup. From there, they toss to JP's Monday one-on-one with Ron Rivera, where the coach reviews Wentz's Week 3 effort among many other topics. If you like podcasts where Pete gets back on the Antonio Gibson train and your favorite trio explains how SCORCHING HOT they are with their NFL against-the-spread picks, then this is the episode for you.

There's also some Jimmy G, Dan Snyder and mascot discussion, because it's never just about what happens on the field with this club. Lastly, you'll hear JP's interview with Benjamin St-Juste, one of the few guys who did positive things in the game. If you like podcasts where JP, Mitch and Pete chat about potential and risqué ways to expand the pod's reach, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to preview the Commanders-Eagles game this weekend, and their time together begins with a simple question: Why does Philly despise Carson Wentz SO much?

Lastly, JP sits down with Curtis Samuel in a one-on-one interview, where Curtis explains a purchase he made to help jumpstart his pro career and passes along his observations of Wentz ahead of this massive contest. If you like podcasts where JP randomly declares his preferred nickname for the franchise and bemoans all of the other options, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Commanders' defense allows Lions to roar early and often in ugly Week 2 showing Sep 18, 2022

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are not nearly as fired up as they were for their last postgame production, unfortunately, as Washington went to Detroit and put up a team-wide stinker for the first half and a defense-wide stinker for the entire Week 2 affair. During their time together, the guys chat about the disappointment in Jack Del Rio's unit, the overall lack of complementary football that was played by the Commanders and what to make of this squad through two outings. There's also analysis of Ron Rivera's two-point conversion attempts. At the end of the proceedings, you'll also hear JP's interview with Logan Thomas. If you like podcasts where Pete's claims about Ford Field being loud are (sorta) proven correct and JP uses the phrase "vortex of suck", then this is the episode for you.

LIONS PREVIEW: Jack Del Rio calls out Jamin Davis as Washington heads to Detroit to try and start 2-0 Sep 16, 2022

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey open this Washington Football Talk by reacting to the Jamin Davis comments that Jack Del Rio made Thursday. They were... rather harsh. From there, the hosts get re-excited about how stacked the Commanders' offense is looking before getting into their weekly preview segments for the Lions game. After the trio finishes up, they toss to JP's one-on-one with Darrick Forrest, Week 1's defensive star. In that chat, Forrest discusses how he learned from a tough 2021 and the true meaning behind his nickname. If you like podcasts where Mitch and Pete are very upset with JP for not inviting them out to a recent social outing and a new proprietary statistic is introduced, then this is the episode for you.
