    Hi Al. Have been a loyal listener to your pod since 2023. Another podcast ive listened to for years kept mentioning your show. (Harry Hog Football) I listened to your show and was hooked.

    Hi Al

    Comments from a lifelong fan of the Skins from Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.

    My brother got to watch 1983 SuperBowl 17 at the US embassy in Kinshasa, Zaire. As a couple of missionary kids, in the days of snail mail, this cultural experience was otherworldly; and, we’ve been Washington fans ever since.

    Wanted to say that I appreciate your pod and make it a regular part of every morning jogs.

    Because I hear you read these reviews, here’s the number one thing I would say about ... more

  • Long Time Listener

    Hey Al. Been listening since Episode #1. And I still hate the music. But the pod content makes it worth it! I am out on BA to the Commanders, but have accepted that he will likely come here. What I don’t get is why people talk about signing him to a “prove it” deal, but then say “with only about $8-10M guaranteed”!! After all this guy has done, why would anyone give him one penny over the veteran minimum?? Load the contract with incentives. Fine. But don’t guarantee him one cent more than requir... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 1,410: Dan Quinn puts Mike Sainristil on notice and more
Q: What went wrong on the two-point conversion and what would you have done differently?
Quinn explained the decision-making around the play, acknowledged the execution issues, and suggested potential tweaks like leveraging different play action or mobility for the quarterback, while also crediting Philadelphia for making a key defensive stop.
Episode 1,404: intel with Ben Standig on Washington Commanders' concerns and reasons for confidence and more
Q: What comes to mind when considering the team's chances this season?
The defense is younger and faster with a potential for more turnovers, but the offense still carries questions about line depth and the offense's ability to protect the quarterback, which will determine overall success.
Episode 1,408: preview of Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles and more
Q: How excited are you to see them in a new system compared to where they were last season?
There are always similarities when you have veteran players; with a new system, Sean has done a great job, and I know Jalen will be playing at a high level with the offense.
Episode 1,408: preview of Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles and more
Q: Good morning, Coach. How excited are you to see this offensive line come together, not just in this week of practice, but on Sunday after having some injuries early on in training camp, having guys in and out of the lineup?
I'm very excited. We have confidence in the group, and Darnell's done a fantastic job getting them ready; it's been cool to see Brandon step in after Lamrie's injury and perform well, and I'm excited to see them gel.
Episode 1,407: Dan Quinn details Jayden Daniels' preparation for major bounce-back season and more
Q: How involved will you be in in-game play calling with Blough and the new coordinators?
Quinn said he will provide guidance between plays, act as a checks-and-balances keeper of the standard, and intervene as needed, but will not micromanage each call during critical moments.
