13TH CAMP PRACTICE RECAP: This tight end depth chart is sorta in shambles, plus JP interviews Curtis Samuel Aug 10, 2022

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler (the birthday boy) and Pete Hailey open up this Washington Football Talk by recapping the fight that occurred at Wednesday's practice, and after recapping that incident, they review Jeff Zgonina's first session in charge of the D-line and also run through the tattered tight end depth chart. After finishing off with their patented One Thing segment, they then toss to JP's one-on-one with Curtis Samuel, where JP asks Samuel to open up about "the plan" and they bond over their mutual love of lambchops. If you like podcasts where the trio tries to get on the same page about their weekend plans but end up not even landing in the same book, then this is the episode for you.

12TH CAMP PRACTICE RECAP: Why the Commanders firing their defensive line coach, Sam Mills III, is a big deal Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have some major news to react to, as the Commanders fired defensive line coach Sam Mills III and replaced him with Jeff Zgonina on Tuesday. The guys mostly discuss that change, theorize why it happened and explain why it's possibly going to be a useful one. After that, the trio also walks you through what was a promising morning for Carson Wentz and the offense, before tossing to Zgonina's first press conference as the team's D-line coach as well as Jonathan Allen's scrum with the media, too. If you like podcasts where a shocking medical discovery about Pete is unearthed, then this is the episode for you.

11TH CAMP PRACTICE RECAP: A roundtable discussion about Carson Wentz's performance so far Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey welcome on ESPN's John Keim for this Washington Football Talk, the beginning of which is dedicated to a roundtable discussion about Carson Wentz's camp performance and whether it's been discouraging enough to affect the overall outlook of the season. The four of them also kick around how Jamin Davis is looking before each identifying a takeaway in their latest One Thing segment, which includes JP's thoughts on how Sam Howell is growing. To close, you'll hear Mitch's interview with Efe Obada and David Bada, two defensive linemen who have been intertwined for a while now and are really damn fun to chat with. If you like podcasts where Mitch's encounter with a mouse is recounted and Obada complains about Bada's snoring, then this is the episode for you.

10TH CAMP PRACTICE RECAP: What to make of Carson Wentz's accuracy and chemistry with his pass catchers Aug 07, 2022

Show notes

Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and Ethan Cadeaux are in charge of this Washington Football Talk, as JP Finlay is spending the weekend in Boston for a wedding. Mitch, Pete and Ethan were all at FedEx Field for the Commanders' stadium practice, and they're more than happy to tell you all about what went down. As they do that, they debate whether Carson Wentz's inconsistencies with his wideouts is worth worrying about at this point, discuss Terry McLaurin's presser and chat about what bottom-of-the-depth-chart receivers are doing their best to stick on the roster. If you like podcasts where Mitch picks out a lineman who's impressing him in the trenches and Pete's taste in chicken is questioned, then this is the episode for you.

9TH CAMP PRACTICE RECAP: Friday observations and an early-but-useful Colts preview (along with Carson Wentz info) Aug 05, 2022

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey unite via Zoom for this Washington Football Talk, one that commences with a recap of an intense goal line session from Friday and then transitions into a One Thing segment, which includes notes on Antonio Gibson and Daron Payne. Then, at last, you'll hear the trio's interview with JJ Stankevitz, who writes for the Colts and was in Indy with Carson Wentz in 2021. So, that makes him the perfect guy to break down the Commanders' signal caller (and preview the rest of the Colts' roster, which is useful, since Washington will see them this year). If you like podcasts where the interrupting tables are turned on JP, then this is the episode for you.

7TH CAMP PRACTICE RECAP: Curtis Samuel suits up, Jamin Davis is still quiet at LB and JP interviews Sam Cosmi Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and the Richmond-Times Dispatch's Michael Phillips lead this Washington Football Talk, one that begins with more Curtis Samuel talk. How encouraging was it that he practiced on Wednesday and are people building him up to be more than he is during his lineup inconsistencies? After that, the foursome reviews what else happened during the session, if the offensive line deserves scrutiny (Mitch and Philly disagree) and the team's linebacker situation. From there, they toss to JP's one-on-one with Sam Cosmi, where the right tackle expresses disbelief that the media wants to talk with him and explains the story behind his recent engagement. If you like podcasts where Mitch's brain briefly short-circuits toward the end and Cosmi touches on his potential as a rugby player, then this is the episode for you.

6TH CAMP PRACTICE RECAP: Relaying our positive and negative takeaways through one week of Ashburn action Aug 02, 2022

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey, Ethan Cadeaux and, eventually, Sam Fortier of the Washington Post have yet another installment of your beloved show, and this one starts with a general recap of Carson Wentz's Tuesday practice (and one decision that was questionable) as well as the team's first day in pads (which allowed the offensive line to balance out the competition a little). From there, the five guys lay out both their main takeaways through a week of camp as well as their One Thing from Tuesday in particular. To close, you'll get JP's 1-on-1 with JD McKissic, where the running back discusses why he got a bit emotional before Tuesday's session and his early assessments of Carson Wentz and Brian Robinson Jr. If you like podcasts where JP gives a super-rapid intro and Pete ignites a passionate debate about music during warmups, then this is the episode for you.

5TH CAMP PRACTICE RECAP: Curtis Samuel is once again sidelined and the offense turns in a paltry day Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey can't believe the Commanders are still living in a world where Curtis Samuel can't be counted on. After covering the latest about the receiver's limitations, the guys gather themselves to chat about an offense that faltered on Monday and whether Carson Wentz's early sputtering is worth freaking out about. They then go through One Thing before tossing to Jordan Giorgio's one-on-one with William Jackson III, where the defender talks being a dad, horses and comfort at corner. If you like podcasts where Cole Turner gets more positive attention and JP's beautiful pipes make an appearance, then this is the episode for you.

4TH CAMP PRACTICE RECAP: Cole Turner shows out and JP interviews both Ryan Kerrigan and Kendall Fuller Jul 30, 2022

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have a lot to get to (and a lot of people to talk to) on this Saturday edition of Washington Football Talk. First, JP, Mitch and Pete recap the action at practice, which included lots of Cole Turner highlights as well as some great work by a depth corner. Then, they welcome in Chris Kerwin and Darryl Johnson, two photographers who intersected with Kerrigan plenty during his time in Washington. After those five finish, you'll hear JP's one-on-one with Kerrigan, who reflects on his career and why he chose to retire at this point. And lastly, JP also sits down with Kendall Fuller, who explains his comfort in the secondary and his "old soul" off-day plans. If you like podcasts where JP randomly shreds his own sock and Pete horribly misunderstands what JP is doing on Saturday evening, then this is the episode for you.

3RD CAMP PRACTICE RECAP: Chase Young will miss Week 1, Ryan Kerrigan retires and Pete interviews Jon Allen Jul 29, 2022

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are ready to run through another newsy day in Ashburn, beginning with the news that Chase Young will miss Week 1 and that Ryan Kerrigan is retiring after 11 years in the league. After covering both of those pass-rusher related stories, the guys dive into what took place on the field Friday, where the offense bounced back (mostly), Montez Sweat is turning heads and Curtis Samuel was "slowed down." Then, to close, you'll hear Pete's interview with Jonathan Allen, where the captain explains why he hates the word potential so much. If you like podcasts where Mitch tosses out a crazy Trai Turner theory and Mitch's rogue eyebrow distracts JP, then this is the episode for you.
