EAGLES PREVIEW 2.0: Why this game will tell us a lot about Ron Rivera's impact on the Washington Football Team Dec 30, 2021

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to preview Washington's second tilt with the Eagles this year and are very intrigued to see how Ron Rivera's team handles this particular matchup. Will they show up with pride or will they roll over and close out FedEx Field with a whimper? That's something they kick around before discussing what next year's QB room could look like and why Terry McLaurin isn't getting targeted more. From there, they run through their pregame segments and then toss to a really fun interview between JP and Tim Settle, where the defensive lineman explains how he's been able to stay positive despite his limited playing time, passes along a first-person account of the Allen/Payne fight and reacts to his alma mater getting beaten down in their recent bowl game. Also, JP's recent 1-on-1 with Ron Rivera is tacked on at the end, too. If you like podcasts where JP predicts the date that Washington will announce its new name and the three hosts explain the cycle of hatred toward each other that they experience every season, then this is the episode for you.

COWBOYS PREVIEW, 2.0: Taylor Heinicke is off the COVID list but how much can he help in Dallas in prime time? Dec 24, 2021

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back and so is Taylor Heinicke! That's good news, but precisely how good and impactful can it be for Sunday? That's something the guys discuss. In addition to that, the guys cover what is a rather concerning injury report and then kick around a deeper subject: How is the Ron Rivera Era going? From there, they return to a more honed-in angle by previewing Sunday's matchup before tossing to JP's 1-on-1 with Jaret Patterson, where the rookie running back explains how he's settled into the NFL and how he'll handle a bigger role in Dallas if he gets one. If you like podcasts where Pete at one point accidentally says the exact opposite of what he's trying to say and Jaret heaps some heavy praise on Jennifer King, then this is the episode for you.

(ANOTHER) EMERGENCY POD: Washington's game against the Eagles has been moved to Tuesday night Dec 17, 2021

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are just as overwhelmed as you are by all that's going on in the NFL but gathered to try to make sense of the drama anyways. In this Washington Football Talk, the guys react to the postponement of the team's game against the Eagles, discuss how the news could help (and perhaps hurt) the club and debate whether Philadelphia folks have the right to be upset by the adjustment. Once they're done, you'll hear JP's interview with Cole Holcomb (which was recorded on Thursday, just FYI) where the linebacker explain what it's like for him and his teammates as they all deal with this chaos. If you like podcasts where Pete oddly brags about his fast fingers and JP enjoys miserable traffic while also running the show, then this is the episode for you.
