    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. I am a lifelong Washington football fan from Dallas Tx. Yep. Dallas. Served in the Navy. Second tour i chose DC just to be near my team. Met my wife in Nova Scotia canada while there on detachment. So Washington is responsible for my highest highs and lowest lows. A’la Snider years. Your show means the world to... more

    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 1,395: Dan Quinn addresses center situation and admits to "disarray" in preseason loss at Detroit and more
Q: What went wrong on that play and what would you have ideally wanted to see?
Quinn described a misread in the read option where the defense dictated the play, and emphasized wanting better execution, discipline, and pursuit to prevent the long touchdown.
Episode 1,386: Dan Quinn affirms Brandon Coleman as LT1, Daronte Jones explains progress of defense and more
Q: Have you noticed more explosiveness in the offense since Stefon Diggs got here?
Yes, Diggs has added explosiveness and leadership; his ability to work against multiple coverages and his high football IQ are helping the receivers and overall timing.
Episode 1,388: deep dive with Mitch Tischler on Washington Commanders' offensive line and more
Q: Would you say that Coleman is the guy at left tackle or is there still a testing period possible if he struggles?
I think he's the guy, though there are free-agent options if injuries or performance require it; the staff has been decisive about Coleman staying at left tackle.
Episode 1,390: intel with New England Patriots insider Taylor Kyles of Patriots on CLNS on Stefon Diggs and more
Q: Would Diggs thrive more as a slot, outside, or mixed role for Washington?
Inside the numbers is where he can thrive the most, with occasional outside work; the key is using him in space and in motion to create mismatches rather than forcing him into a traditional outside X role.
Episode 1,390: intel with New England Patriots insider Taylor Kyles of Patriots on CLNS on Stefon Diggs and more
Q: How did Diggs fare in the 2025 season with the Patriots, and what can be expected in Washington?
He was productive and reliable, especially in route discipline and after the catch, but some struggles in the postseason were tied to overall offensive setup and protection, suggesting Washington could leverage his strengths in a more favorable scheme.
