Kevin opens the show by talking about the Redskins’ trade for Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and then goes into Maryland’s decision to retain DJ Durkin and Damon Evans. Chris Cooley comes on to talk about the trade, grade out Alex Smith and the rest of the offense, and a lot on the Redskins’ defense. Scott Jackson calls in to talk about the Wizards’ dreadful 1-6 start to the season. Kevin finishes up with Coaching Blunders, Kirk Cousins stats and the rest of the trades in the NFL.
How impressive was the Redskins’ win over the Giants? Kevin and Thom discuss that and they look ahead to the Falcons game. They get to the World Series, Klay Thompson, and Bryce Harper’s future. They finish up the show talking about the Redskins grievance win against their former GM, Scot McCloughan.
Redskins just won their third straight, and Kevin once again praises Doug Williams for bringing in Adrian Peterson. He goes through his game takes, including thoughts on another great performance by the defense and what he thought of Alex Smith’s outing. JP Finlay joins the show after his day in New York to give his thoughts on the Redskins win. Kevin then highlights some quotes after the game that he particularly liked. He goes Around the NFL, featuring the Saints win over the Vikings, the Rams win over the Packers, and the Eagles win in London. He wraps up the show with Weekend DVR where he looks at the Red Sox winning the World Series and Dave Roberts decision-making over the weekend, the Wizards loss to the Clippers, Maryland’s win and the rest of the college football slate, and his thoughts on what Scott Boras said about Bryce Harper.

He wraps up the show with Andy Pollin giving his historical takes on Redskins/Giants, and then Kevin, Andy and Bram Weinstein all give their predictions.
