Chris Cooley joins Kevin to preview the Redskins-Titans game. Cooley had a crazy vision of a Skins’ game-winning touchdown which is must-listen. They preview the entire NFL weekend too with Cooley talking a ton about the Ravens and Lamar Jackson. Kevin has 10 picks on his Smell Test and Andy Pollin joins him for “Skins Score and More”.
Kevin and Thom open the show talking Caps-Pens and then briefly discuss how repulsive the Wizards have become. They talk Montae Nicholson, Joe Flacco, the Redskins and their chances at Tennessee on Saturday. Scott Van Pelt joins the show to talk about a horrible college basketball beat last night and more. NFL Power Poll and more NFL discussion too.
Kevin opens with a short take on the Wizards loss in Atlanta and Trevor Ariza’s first game back. A brief discussion about the Pro Bowl follows before he considers the merits of Jay Gruden returning as head coach. He talks DC legalizing sports betting and finishes with “NFL Buy and Sell”.
Kevin and Thom talked about the uncontaminated as-of-yet Josh Johnson and why you should root for him. They also talked about the Redskin-fan conundrum of rooting for the current team to win games knowing that it may result in no off-season changes. They discussed about Bruce Allen’s influence over who plays and who doesn’t. They talked about Joe Theismann’s tweet, the MNF broadcast booth returning in ’19,Trevor Ariza, and last night’s Panthers-Saints game. The show finishes up with “Coaching Blunders” which includes a non-blunder stroke of brilliance by Bill Belichick.
Kevin recaps the Redskins’ win over Jacksonville and breaks down their current playoff position. JP Finlay/NBC Sports Washington joins the show from Jacksonville to describe the feeling in the locker room about Josh Johnson and their playoff hopes. Kevin goes “Around the NFL” and then finishes up the show with “Weekend DVR” where he brings in Chris Miller/NBC Sports Washington to talk about the Wizards’ win last night and the Trevor Ariza trade.
Redskins will beat Jacksonville if…
- …Jacksonville’s defense doesn’t post. If it does, the Skins’ offense isn’t going to score more than 10 points. It’s easily the most talented defense the Skins have played all year. Dallas is a close 2nd.
- …they punt it well. This is something they’ve done well all year. Tress Way is the teams’ MVP. Their punt coverage has been good. Make Cody Kessler drive it long distances and they can hang in there.
- …they finish plus 2 or better in the turnover category. You can probably tell I’m not very optimistic about the Skins’ chances. They are in turmoil organizationally and the team they’re facing while not very good record-wise, is better than the Skins talent-wise.
Prediction:
Jags 27-6
