    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

    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 1,366: analysis with Ben Standig on state of Washington Commanders' roster and more
Q: Hey Ben, how are you?
Ben Standig replies that he's doing well, excited to discuss a Wizards-focused offseason and the Commanders' roster, and notes that the team is in a rebuilding phase with a mix of veteran presence and young talent.
Episode 1,367: analysis with Ben Standig on Washington fandom six years after retirement of "Redskins" and more
Q: What is the general mood among Commanders fans six years after the name and logo retirement?
Fans are feeling more positive and hopeful than during the darkest periods, driven by ownership changes, facility upgrades, and renewed signals of commitment, though trepidation about on-field success remains.
Episode 1,368: David Blough reveals details on rise to Washington Commanders offensive coordinator and more
Q: What led to David Blough becoming the offensive coordinator, and how did the timeline unfold?
Blough explains the decision came after a period of increased responsibility and a short, four-day search, with emphasis on his development under Dan Quinn and the organization's belief in his coaching trajectory.
Episode 1,360: analysis with Warren Sharp on Jayden Daniels and Washington Commanders' new offense and more
Q: How concerning are the surrounding weapons around Daniels, and can the pass-catching group carry the offense?
The receiving corps looks thinner than ideal, with questions about slot and outside receivers, and a lack of proven high-end depth behind McLaurin. If the supporting cast cannot consistently separate or create space, Daniels may struggle to reach optimal efficiency even with upgrades in the run game and play-action. The team needs improved development from Antonio Williams and others, plus better use of the tight end and backfield in the passing game.
Episode 1,360: analysis with Warren Sharp on Jayden Daniels and Washington Commanders' new offense and more
Q: What do you make of the change to Washington's offense under the new coordinator and how will it affect Jayden Daniels?
The new system aims to balance under-center snapping and play-action, increase pre-snap motion, and create a more varied attack. Daniels will need to adapt to more under-center snaps after years in shotgun-heavy schemes, and his performance will depend on how quickly the supporting cast develops and how well Blough scripts and adjusts in-game. It could raise efficiency if the line and run game stay ahead of schedule, but there are risks if protection or run blocking lags.
