Summary

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are comin' at you from Richmond(!!!!), sight of Washington training camp (until they head back to Ashburn at the end of the week). And, unfortunately, they have to focus on a negative storyline to begin, because Ron Rivera is MAD about his squad's poor vaccination rate. After recapping the coach's opening presser, which was dominated by COVID talk, the guys do get into Logan Thomas' new contract, which everyone loves (just like the Jonathan Allen deal). BUT, unfortunately again, the trio has to discuss something negative, as they react to Curtis Samuel opening up camp on the PUP list, which is a development that occurred as they were recording. So, yeah, there was a lot to delve into. If you like podcasts where Pete crashes and burns when going through Thomas' contract details and the ever-popular One Thing segment returns, then this is the episode for you.

Because Ron Rivera is pissed off about the lack of vaccinations from this team before we get any further.

1:23.7

We are simply reporters bringing you news, I am not telling you an opinion or anything on vaccinations.

1:30.7

Let's try like hell to not get caught up in this crazy political partisan bitter divide.

1:39.7

I just know the head coach wants his team to get vaccinated and he's pissed off about it.

1:43.7

He used an F-word and probably wanted to use a more severe F-word, but used the word frustrated.

1:48.7

At least four times, beyond frustrated at one point, he hates having the lowest vaccination rate in the league reportedly,

1:54.7

especially after a year where they were so good about not getting COVID outbreaks.

1:59.7

And I don't blame him, he is salty, and like JB said, it's raining on a parade that could have been pretty fun to start this camp.

2:05.7

But frustration isn't about necessarily the science and vaccines and jabs and all those different things.

2:13.7

It's about how punitive it is for NFL teams that don't reach that 85% threshold and how it's going to affect them moving forward in the way that they both prepare for games
