Ep 857An ESPN draft guru reports on Drake London, Jameson Williams and more. Plus, a quick Deebo Samuel segment
JP Finlay put his vacation on pause to hop on a Zoom with Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey to bring you this Washington Football Talk.

So, instead, the trio gives their summary of and reaction to Congress requesting that the Federal Trade Commission look into allegations made against Dan Snyder and other Washington execs regarding financial misconduct. There's a lot to get to, so much so that Pete sought out info from his dad, a former lawyer. Is this all a BIG deal, a big deal or just another deal?

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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
