JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey kick off this Washington Football Talk by discussing the fact that Dan Snyder reportedly has a true bid on the table for his franchise.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey commence this Washington Football Talk by chatting about Steve Apostolopoulos, who's reportedly yet another name in the Commanders' ownership hunt. After covering Steve A's arrival, the guys move onto Anthony Walker's visit but lack of signing — which features a JP-produced theory that Pete disagrees with and eventually angers JP because of his disagreement — before answering a draft question that Pete poses: Will Washington draft a tight end OR corner in the first round, or will they go with any other position on the board? That segues into a larger-scale conversation about how Ron Rivera is (and should be) approaching the 2023 campaign. And finally, you'll hear JP's recent interview with the newly-signed Andrew Wylie, who provides awesome insight on Eric Bieniemy.

JP Finlay is Washington Football Talk-ing on his own today, and he begins by giving his view on the potential application of the franchise tag on Daron Payne. JP, personally, isn't crazy about that path. From there, he touches on Eric Bieniemy by addressing a couple of different points regarding the Commanders' new coordinator. Then, JP is joined by John Clark, who works for NBC10 in Philadelphia. Why Clark? Well, because he's quite familiar with Josh Harris, who's one of the possible candidates to replace Dan Snyder as Washington's owner and has been atop the 76ers for years now. During JP's chat with Clark, Clark explains why Harris could be an appealing name for Commanders fans who are desperate to move on from Snyder.

First, JP sits down with Ron Rivera, who explains the trust he and his players are building between each other and what lies between Chase Young and his 2022 debut finally happening. Secondly, Pete chats with Curtis Samuel, who describes just how down he was in 2021 with his groin problem and how rewarding this campaign has been. If you like podcasts where JP is blissfully unaware of the month and Pete vetoes a Mitch-led segment about a backup-backup lineman, then this is the episode for you.

BONUS POD: What to make of the lengthy ESPN story on Dan Snyder and his standing amongst the owners Oct 13, 2022

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey thought they'd only be recording a postgame Washington Football Talk on Thursday, which was silly of them, because well before kickoff in Chicago, ESPN dropped a massive piece about Dan Snyder, his relationship with other owners and a whole lot more. So, the guys convened for this bonus edition of their show to discuss that (and also William Jackson III's reported trade request). So, listen to this and then check back with them after the Bears game. Sigh.

From there, the trio runs through their pregame segments for what may be an unsightly but what is also nonetheless a crucial matchup with the Bears coming up on Thursday. Lastly, you'll hear JP's weekly one-on-one with Ron, which was recorded after his controversial Monday media session.

They try their damndest to make it fun, but in reality, there's not much fun going on around the Commanders these days. JP curses a bunch, so if that's up your alley, you're in luck.

The trio also recap their weekend in Dallas before passing the show off to JP's one-on-one with Jahan Dotson, one of the only redeemable parts of Week 4's loss.

After a brief JP Finlay rant about the area's level of traffic at the start of the program, he, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get right into this weekend's important Commanders-Cowboys tilt.

If you like podcasts where JP fights through an extra-gravelly voice and a kicker you had never heard of before Tuesday gives a a very entertaining interview on Sunday, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are oddly fired up to see each other, which translates over to this edition of the Washington Football Talk podcast.

POSTGAME POD: Washington goes to Mile High and finds a new low in their awful 2021 season Nov 01, 2021

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to, as Mitch so eloquently puts it, recap yet another "poop pie." Washington went to see the Broncos in Week 8, lost its fourth straight and nothing looks too great. During this Washington Football Talk, the hosts look ahead to the bleak future, look back on the defeat in Denver and say a lot of things that require bleeping.

To close, JP and Mitch test out peanut butter sandwiches in an end-of-show treat.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey kick off this Washington Football Talk with a few smaller topics before getting into one major topic and then closing the proceedings out with a few more smaller topics. At the start, they look at the NFC playoff picture — yes, the NFC playoff picture — and where Washington fits before debating which injured player's absence has been the most harmful. Then, it's major topic time, and that major topic is Deshaun Watson. Should the Burgundy and Gold pursue him or is he off limits? Not surprisingly, there's a lot to unpack there. And then to wrap up, the hosts hit their 100 Chips, Over/Unders and Benjamin Franklin segments before tossing to JP's 1-on-1 with Jamin Davis, where the rookie explains how the game is beginning to slow down for him. If you like podcasts where JP reveals his new retirement dream and there's a totally bizarre junkyard/bed analogy, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: The red zone becomes the dead zone for Washington as they lose yet again vs. Packers Oct 25, 2021

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are thankful for anyone who chooses to listen to this Washington Football Talk after the club's third-straight loss on the season. In this installment, the guys grow further agitated with the current state of the franchise they cover, the future direction of the franchise they cover and the apparent acceptance of mediocrity by those within they franchise they cover. After all of that concludes, JP talks to one of the few parts about this organization that's good: Terry McLaurin. If you like podcasts where both King Henry VIII and Garth Brooks are name-checked, then this is the episode for you.

This is a large and in charge Washington Football Talk featuring JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey, and it begins with analysis of a major move at kicker. Was this the right time to release Dustin Hopkins, why is Chris Blewitt the one to replace him and what message does it send to the rest of the team? All of those things and more are discussed in that segment. After the trio wraps that up, they catch you up on the numerous injuries affecting the offense and take a moment to reflect on how different this Sunday's lineup could be from the lineup that coaches imagined they'd have leading up to 2021. Pete also explains some mixed messaging that's going on for Taylor Heinicke. Eventually, JP, Mitch and Pete preview the Packers game — warning: They aren't that thrilled about it — before tossing to JP's 1-on-1 with Taylor Heinicke from Wednesday (where JP talks to him about his Matrix analogy for the QB and Taylor remembers his late father) and Ron Rivera from Monday. If you like podcasts where you're informed of a sweet piece of memorabilia that's now available for the very reasonable price of $20 and the hosts once again lament that they aren't covering a quality franchise, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Washington loses yet again, and they do it in an uninspiring way yet again, too Oct 17, 2021

Hopefully this Washington Football Talk is more memorable than the Burgundy and Gold's loss to the Chiefs. JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get things started by passing on an interesting note about Mitch's tie and then falling into a rabbit hole of sadness about the state of the franchise and the direction its going. That then leads into more down discussions about the faith each host has that Washington will make 2021 a positive season. Eventually, they go through their usual postgame staples, Mitch gives you a rousing update on DeAndre Carter and, to close, you'll hear JP's 1-on-1s with Chase Young and Sean Taylor's father, Pedro, plus a great mashup of guys like Joe Gibbs, Santana Moss, Ed Reed and Reggie Wayne reminiscing about Sean over the years that Mitch put together. If you like podcasts where JP relays an unbelievable story about something he thought was real but actually wasn't and Pete gives it his all after a long wedding weekend, then this is the episode for you.

CHIEFS PREVIEW: Reacting to this sad Sean Taylor situation before looking ahead to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs Oct 14, 2021

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have quite a bit to discuss on this particular Washington Football Talk. Unfortunately, as usual, the first topic doesn't have to do with the upcoming matchup, but rather the club's horrific handling of Sean Taylor's jersey retirement. Following a tremendous intro by JP, the three hosts spend the first 15 minutes or so of the show bashing the Burgundy and Gold for botching something that should've been so easy and so celebratory. After getting that out of their systems, the trio turns their attention back to football, which includes segments on whether this weekend's meeting with the Chiefs will actually stay close (Mitch thinks so) and if the current message that Ron Rivera is emphasizing is the wrong one (Pete thinks so). Then comes the typical pregame segments and an adult question from Pete that he poses to his two adult cohosts. And lastly, things close with JP going 1-on-1 with Chase Young and Ron Rivera (the Young chat happened on Wednesday, while the Rivera interview came on Monday). If you like podcasts where Mitch makes a ridiculous claim (even by his standards) and JP quotes both "Of Mice and Men" and Bane, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: We're already running out of things to say and it's only Week 5 for Washington Oct 10, 2021

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are flummoxed, once again, by the Washington Football Team, who dropped a very winnable contest on Sunday vs. the Saints. The guys discuss the disastrous defense again as well as what changes they'd like to see on that unit. They also recap the horrific Hail Mary, which was horrific. From there, they run through Game Balls and Goats and 100 Chips before looking ahead at the brutal schedule to come. They also laugh a lot, because what else is there to do? If you like podcasts where JP informs Mitch that Mitch is not "his type" and there's a completely random callback to an old Albert Pujols home run, then this is the episode for you.

It's almost time to welcome the Saints, so JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have a preview of New Orleans vs. Washington for you right here. To begin, the guys look at Washington's lengthy list of injuries and give their leans on who's playing and who isn't. That leads to a discussion about Curtis Samuel specifically. After that, the trio discuss Taylor Heinicke and whether Heinicke's sample size is big enough to start truly buying in. From there, you'll get the classic pregame segments (featuring a tweaked version of 100 Chips) and, lastly, JP's 1-on-1 with JD McKissic, who discusses his huge performance vs. the Falcons, his fantastic blitz pickups and where "JD" came from. If you like podcasts where JP opens up with a "miraculous" intro and things close out with decreasingly useful stats, then this is the episode for you.

EMERGENCY POD: Catching you up on the criminal investigation involving Ryan Vermillion, WFT's head trainer Oct 04, 2021

This might be the craziest topic behind an Emergency Pod in Washington Football Talk history, as JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to explain and react to Monday's news that WFT head trainer Ryan Vermillion is at the center of a criminal investigation involving federal law enforcement. JP, who helped break the story, sets the scene with all that he knows, and then the trio comments from there. After they're through, JP then talks to Ron Rivera, who endorses Vermillion in one respect before reviewing the Falcons game and other football topics even further. If you like podcasts where Mitch comes up with a new Ashburn-related slogan and JP gives some background on his difficult journey to his interview with Rivera, then this is the episode for you.

.......Phew.... That sums up how JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey feel after Washington's Week 4 win in Atlanta, which was equal parts exciting and disheartening. To begin, the guys try to sort through their reactions, with Mitch coming across as quite optimistic, Pete on the opposite side and JP somewhere in the middle. From there, they recap Taylor Heinicke, JD McKissic, Terry McLaurin and DeAndre Carter's exploits as well as the defense's continued issues. You'll get the postgame staples like 100 Chips and Over/Unders after that, and then to close, you'll hear JP's two postgame interviews with McLaurin and Carter, two guys who have no idea how to describe what it's like playing with Heinicke but sure as hell enjoy it. If you like podcasts where JP gives a scathing hotel review and Pete celebrates his birthday by being weirdly grumpy, then this is the episode for you.

It's time for another preview installment of Washington Football Talk show, as JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get you geared up for the Burgundy and Gold's trip to Atlanta. To open it up, the guys explain the very pleasant news that Curtis Samuel is set to debut on Sunday, though one host is more skeptical than the others. The trio also has a debate about whether Antonio Gibson is set to have a very busy weekend. From there, they do their usual pregame segments (even though JP tries to erase one). And, lastly, they toss to JP's 1-on-1 with Kam Curl, who addresses the defense's cold start and his alma mater's phenomenal college campaign. If you like podcasts where JP passes on some wise homecoming advice and Pete undersells himself in his wildest dreams, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler have a midweek Washington Football Talk for you that begins with a Curtis Samuel update and then transitions into a chat about Taylor Heinicke's reaction to needing to be more of a "game manager." From there, the guys catch you up on an interesting comment that Ereck Flowers made about Antonio Gibson before tossing to two 1-on-1s, the first of which is JP and Terry McLaurin and the second of which is JP and Ron Rivera. Terry covers his thoughts on the defense as well as milk (yes, milk) while Ron assesses what he wants to see out of his QB after a rough Buffalo outing.

In their recap of the Week 3 blowout, the hosts lament the defense's poor, poor effort, Taylor Heinicke's worst performance as a WFT QB, Chase Young's lack of involvement and more.

So, in order to commemorate both events, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey rounded up a bunch of very important people to pay tribute to both the podcast as well as its Day 1 host. After all of those messages conclude, you'll then hear a few pieces of old content from the program's early, early, early days (which features our dear friend Rich Tandler). And then, at the end, JP reacts to the surprise. If you like podcasts that are five years old and are taking a moment to reflect on that, then this is the episode for you.

Debating how legit Thursday's Curtis Samuel update was and identifying real reasons for optimism for the season Sep 02, 2021

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey all survived cuts and are ready to finally start preparing for Week 1. After attending a "bonus" practice on Thursday, the guys convened to first chat about Ron Rivera's most recent update on Curtis Samuel. Pete is buying it more than his co-hosts. After that, they have a discussion about the practice squad and, finally, try to re-identify the reasons for their optimism about Washington's 2021 season. If you like podcasts where Mitch comes up with a word that's "definity" not real and the trio updates their record predictions for the year, then this is the episode for you.

The guys cover all of those topics and more, and then close it out with a note on Brandon Scherff. If you like podcasts where there's an uncomfortably long silence right at the top and Pete tries to be very journalism-y and falls flat on his face, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Jaret Patterson takes it to the Bengals but the first-team offense sputters a bit at FedEx Field Aug 21, 2021

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are coming at you from a classic undisclosed location at FedEx Field, where they watched Washington battle with the Bengals in the second week of the 2021 preseason.

From there, they analyze the first-team offense and their somewhat disappointing effort versus Cincy, listen as Mitch discusses how the offensive line performed and recap Over/Unders, 100 Chips and Game Balls and GOATs.

After Mitch quickly recaps all of the important stuff he saw during Sunday's session, the guys discuss the release of Kelvin Harmon as well as who they see grabbing the last wideout spot on the 53-man roster, analyze whether Jaret Patterson is really pushing for a place of his own and take stock once more of who's rising and who's falling at tight end. From there, some serious shtick ensues before they toss to JP's 1-on-1 with Kam Curl, who explains how he's feeling for Year 2 now that his place on the depth chart is much more solid and knowing that he'll be playing in front of fans all season long.

Pssstt...... the Burgundy and Gold are playing football soon, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to preview exactly that. To begin, the hosts each choose something they're going to be scrutinizing when Washington takes on the Patriots on Thursday night, and after realizing that they all chose an offense-related item, they then do the same but for the defense. After that, they go through a rapid fire segment where JP throws out players and the guys predict whether said player will appear for over or under 9.5 snaps in New England. After that, you'll get JP's two sitdowns with Logan Thomas and Sam Cosmi, both of which are enjoyable.

One more pre-training camp interview with Ryan Fitzpatrick and a very bizarre snake draft that you will appreciate Jul 11, 2021

JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler kick off this Washington Football Talk by sitting down with Ryan Fitzpatrick for one more chat before training camp begins later this month.

Areas Washington must improve to be a real playoff contender and a recap of JP's up-and-down golf weekend Jun 28, 2021

The Washington Football Talk podcast is nothing if not honest, so let's be honest: JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were supposed to have a guest call in for this edition of the show, but that guest never actually called in, leaving the hosts in scramble mode.

THE SCHERFF GOT TAGGED POD: Everything you need to know about what Washington did with their All-Pro guard Mar 09, 2021

The primary topic for this Washington Football Talk is Brandon Scherff and his new franchise tag. Whether you're delighted by the news or upset by it, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to walk you through what it means for both the player and the organization. Is the $18 million that the Burgundy and Gold is set to pay Scherff prohibitive or just the price of doing business? What are the chances of a long-term agreement? And how much does Mitch love that an O-lineman is at the center of the show? You'll get all those answers and more, as well as some Dak Prescott analysis and a random Ronald Darby segment. If you like podcasts where Mitch and Pete discuss birds and JP zings Pete about being so coddled (for the 145th time), then this is the episode for you.

Covering all sorts of topics, from Washington's cap situation to Kyle Trask's fit to, yes, a Trent Williams reunion Mar 05, 2021

Nothing too, too pressing has happened as of late with the Burgundy and Gold, so JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey used this edition of Washington Football Talk to run down a list of storylines that will no doubt interest you. To begin, the three look at the team's cap situation, as well as what other teams will have to do in order to be compliant with the cap, in a free agency lookahead. After that, the guys touch on Kyle Trask potentially making it to the club in the second round of the draft, Chris Cooley's thoughts on a possible Trent Williams reunion and Terry McLaurin's toughness. They then close with JP making one hell of an Ashburn Syndrome-y statement and a recap of the 20 Questions segment they did on JP's radio show. If you like podcasts where you learn about one host's feet and get some hurricane analogies, then this is the episode for you.

Reacting to (what's basically) the end of the Alex Smith era in Washington and recapping a truly epic poker weekend Mar 02, 2021

The first half of this Washington Football Talk is centered on Alex Smith, who's expected to be released by the Burgundy and Gold soon. So, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey react to that news, do their best to grade the 2018 trade that brought Smith to the franchise and then assess how they're feeling about the QB room's future moving forward. Then, once the Smith stuff wraps, the trio recaps what was an unbelievable poker weekend for Mitch and JP, and especially JP. You're going to want to hear about the run he went on on Saturday night (and how Pete repeatedly got stonewalled by Rob Gronkowski). If you like podcasts where Pete's fear of the ocean is exposed and there's some random reminiscing on some of the guys' favorite road trips from the past few years, then this is the episode for you.

LIVE POD: Covering the latest on Alex Smith, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson, plus answering questions at Ourisman Fairfax Feb 26, 2021

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey recorded this Washington Football Talk from Ourisman Fairfax of Toyota, which is just a lovely place to record a show and also buy some cars. During this installment, you'll hear the three of them go through the latest on Alex Smith's GQ comments, Washington's lack of interest in Cam Newton, what to make of Russell Wilson's dilemma and more. Then, they allow members of the massive crowd at the dealership to ask questions, which range from draft needs at pick No. 19 to Jeff Bezos' possible involvement with the franchise. If you like podcasts where Pete broaches the idea of buying not one but two cars and there is an excessive amount of timestamping, then this is the episode for you.

2021 QBX DRAFT POD: Trying to assemble the best three-man QB room by picking from a list of all the vets and rookies Feb 22, 2021

This Washington Football Talk show mainly deals with the first-ever QBX Draft, an event that's both fun and chaotic. JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey welcome on fellow co-workers Ryan Homler and Ethan Cadeaux, and the five of them go through a three-round draft where they each try to come up with the best collection of signal callers possible but also stay within their budgets. The best part? Everyone is available to choose from, including superstars, random vets and draft picks. Once that wraps up, and JP Kiper grades each host's haul, the guys toss to yet another awesome interview featuring Brian Mitchell. This time, B-Mitch talks to Washington GM Martin Mayhew and the two reminisce about the massive impact Bobby Mitchell had on their lives and Mayhew's career in particular. If you like podcasts where JP, Mitch and Pete realize they've been mispronouncing both Ryan and Ethan's last names for quite some time and there's a weird Mike Vanderjagt side conversation, then this is the episode for you.

A real look at Marcus Mariota, a chat about Alex Smith's days being numbered and an interview from B-Mitch with Jason Wright Feb 18, 2021

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back again and they're here to rant about how much they hate computer passwords. That's true, too — but before they get to that, they begin with some more "Tesla talk" and, more importantly, a serious look at Marcus Mariota. The hosts weigh him versus Derek Carr and debate whether he'd be worth taking a flier on or not. Once they finish up that segment on the current Raider, JP brings up a story he wrote about Alex Smith and Kyle Allen, which leads into a chat about why they all feel that Smith's days in D.C. are numbered, though there's a disagreement on how many days remain for him with the franchise. Lastly, they finish up their portion of the show with a round of FUs, which includes the aforementioned password complaining as well as a few other issues you'll relate to. And to close, they toss to a really good interview that Brian Mitchell got with Washington team president Jason Wright, where Wright explains who and what shaped him into the person he is now and how he hopes to act as a role model for the Black community in the future. If you like podcasts where Mitch sings some "Frozen" and there's a touching moment between Pete and JP, then this is the episode for you.

A bunch of bold predictions about what'll happen this offseason for Washington and an interview with Taylor Heinicke Feb 15, 2021

It's a holiday, but the Washington Football Talk podcast doesn't know what holidays are, so JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got together on Zoom to record another edition of their show. To start, the guys react to Chris Polian's addition to the front office. After that, they each give three bold predictions about how Washington's offseason will unfold, ranging from what signings they'll make in free agency to which QB they'll take in the draft. And because they can't ever stick to script, they then keep giving bonus predictions on top of their original ones and weirdly end up debating whether they'll ever be back in a locker room again. Then, to close, they toss to their interview with Taylor Heinicke, who offers up insight on his mindset, his appreciation for Scott Turner and how he's waiting for Heineken to give him a call. If you like podcasts where JP yells at Mitch for fake enthusiasm and Pete debates whether he should buy a car, then this is the episode for you.

THE HEINICKE'S BACK POD: Reacting to the beloved QB's return and what it means for the position going forward Feb 11, 2021

Washington made a move at quarterback today, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are contractually obligated (basically) to record a Washington Football Talk whenever that happens. So, the three hosts got together to react to Taylor Heinicke's extension with the Burgundy and Gold. During the show, you'll hear them explain what it means for Heinicke, Kyle Allen and Alex Smith, as well as other potential additions, before placing 100 chips on how the rest of Taylor's career will look. JP also elaborates on an important contract note. They also-also run through about 15 different food analogies/metaphors to describe and discuss the aspects of the team's situation under center. If you like podcasts where there's a random break to discuss a Wizards-Raptors bet and JP really develops his Bag of Tostitos Theory, then this is the episode for you.

Recapping the Super Bowl, discussing Sam Darnold's potential fit and interviewing Joe Theismann & Antonio Gibson Feb 08, 2021

For those feeling sad that the NFL season is over — which should be all of you — this Washington Football Talk should help you out a bit. After JP Finlay updates Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey on how his new radio gig is going, the three of them decide that Washington fans shouldn't be too excited that their team hung with the now-Super Bowl champs on Wild Card Weekend and otherwise recap Bucs-Chiefs, which gives Mitch the opportunity to angrily rant on something that likely he only noticed and cares about. Once they move past the Super Bowl, the trio goes back-and-forth on Sam Darnold's potential fit in Washington and how much they'd give up to get him, a segment that leads to more QB analysis and names like Jimmy Garoppolo and Carson Wentz being tossed about. Lastly, they finalize the winner of their sad little betting pool before moving on to a pair of interviews they snagged last week with Joe Theismann and Antonio Gibson. Theismann's thoughts on Washington's hunt for a QB, and why he wouldn't go crazy to get Deshaun Watson, are compelling as usual while Gibson looking back on his rookie year (and one celebration he probably won't be doing anymore) is entertaining as well. If you like podcasts where Mitch rightly brings up the law of syllogism but wrongly loses his mind over a broadcast item that the world loves, then this is the episode for you.

THE MARTIN & MARTY POD: A rundown of everything the new execs said and JP's 1-on-1 with Ron Rivera about the additions Feb 03, 2021

Wednesday was a big day for the Washington Football Team, which means it was a big day for the Washington Football Talk hosts. After Ron Rivera and the franchise introduced Martin Mayhew and Marty Hurney to the media, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey hopped on Zoom to break it all down. As they do, you'll get their thoughts on the executives' comments about QB, how they'll collaborate with Rivera and their overall impressions on Mayew and Hurney. Also, in the midst of all that, you'll hear JP's 1-on-1 with Rivera, where the coach explains how much more he'll be able to focus on coaching thanks to the new structure as well as how the two additions' roles will differ. Eventualllllllly, after some more back-and-forths between the trio about signal callers and how necessary it is that Washington finds its answer this offseason, they each give their Super Bowl picks for their very sad betting pool before things close out with Pete asking JP and Mitch how much they know about the Weeknd. If you like podcasts where Ron Rivera goes at JP repeatedly for wearing a tie to a Zoom presser and there's way too much time devoted to which hitter recorded the most strikeouts in MLB history, then this is the episode for you.

Washington missed out on landing its QB in Matt Stafford, so what do we make of that and what's next? Jan 31, 2021

Matt Stafford is... not a Washington Football Teamer. So, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey gathered to quickly react to that trade that sent Stafford to LA and, again, not to DC. Where does the franchise go from here and is there any consolation to at least knowing they were somewhat in the race for the passer? Those discussions, and more, take place in this half bonus, half emergency installment. If you like podcasts where JP completely makes up a factoid about Babe Ruth and Pete's flaws as a boat captain are revealed, then this is the episode for you.

Coming up with our TOP offers for Deshaun Watson & Matt Stafford, and ID'ing QBs we aren't talking enough about Jan 28, 2021

After some brief announcements, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get right back into evaluating Washington's punting situation. Just kidding, Tress Way owns that spot. Of course, they truly get right back into evaluating Washington's QB situation now that Deshaun Watson is officially on the trade block. In light of that, JP, Mitch and Pete each present their BEST offers for Houston's star, and then do the same for Matt Stafford and the Lions. You can be the judge of which deals are doable and which are dumb. Once they complete that segment, they each identify a signal caller that they believe isn't being talked about enough and they wouldn't mind seeing end up in Burgundy and Gold. Those answers range from a very bland name to one extremely polarizing one. From there, they say goodbye and you get Washington Football Talk's interview with the franchise's new, full-time assistant running backs coach Jennifer King, who discusses her impressive journey to where she is today, and then, you'll hear a long chat JP had with Ron Rivera that goes in depth on Rivera's cancer battle. You'll surely appreciate both. If you like podcasts where you get a preview of JP's family ski trip, then this is the episode for you.

QBX MANIA: Deciding where Matt Stafford fits on the list of passers Washington could acquire this offseason Jan 25, 2021

JP Finlay decided that this Washington Football Talk should be called the QBX MANIA edition, and for good reason. He, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got together to talk about Matt Stafford's addition to the list of passers Washington could very well land, and at other portions of the show, they bring up names like Deshaun Watson, Aaron Rodgers and Tua Tagovailoa. As for Stafford, the hosts also dive in to what they'd give up to acquire the Lions star. Once the chatter about signal callers ends, JP, Mitch and Pete review what they saw over Conference Championship weekend as well as their awful gambling picks, a segment that includes JP making a maddening plea. Then, to close, they break out their 100 Chips and sprinkle them all over the various QB options the franchise could go for. If you like podcasts where three out-of-touch guys run through the pros and cons of various dating apps, then this is the episode for you.

Reacting to the arrivals of Martin Mayhew & Marty Hurney and going through our favorite QB options for Washington Jan 22, 2021

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Washington Football Talk by analyzing the now-clearer front office situation, as Martin Mayhew is the GM and Marty Hurney is in the fold as well. During the opening portion, the hosts explain possible reasons for the shuffling of roles and cover other important takeaways from these two moves. Once that's done with, they turn their attention to QB — something they'll be doing a lot of in the coming months — and each explain what kind of passer they think Washington must add. There are a lot of disagreements (and a lot of comparing signal callers to cars) in that stretch, and even some chatter about if they'd deal Chase Young to land Deshaun Watson. Then, to close, they book their bets for the upcoming Championship games. If you like podcasts where Rihanna gets name-dropped in bizarre fashion and Mitch struggles to explain a meme and ends up totally whiffing, then this is the episode for you.

Giving our take on how Marty Hurney will fit in Washington's front office as well as an interview with John Riggins Jan 19, 2021

While the Marty Hurney news wasn't official when this Washington Football Talk was recorded, all signs pointed to him becoming the new general manager of the club, so JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey convened to give their thoughts. As they cover the story from all angles, you'll hear JP try to calm doubters of the move down somewhat, a recap of Hurney's biggest transactions in Carolina and an overall reaction to the decision. There is also plenty of Kyle Smith mentions. Once they feel like they properly hit that topic, they proceed onward to quick segments on Curtis Samuel and Bruce Arians before transitioning into another round of FUs. And to close, you'll get their interview with the legendary John Riggins, who touches on Alex Smith's future and what he'd do under center in 2021. If you like podcasts where Pete does Kevin Malone and Jay Gruden impressions back-to-back and JP unleashes his fury about his family's new bench, then this is the episode for you.

Bringing you up to speed on Washington's GM search and touching on the Deshaun Watson trade rumors Jan 15, 2021

The Washington Football Team's offseason has begun, but the Washington Football Talk podcast never takes a break. So, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here once more, and they begin by diving into the franchise's search for a GM. In that convo, JP also explains why he feels there's some Ashburn Syndrome with Kyle Smith. Once that wraps, the trio moves on to quarterback, wondering if Alex Smith will return or retire, how Taylor Heinicke fits into the equation and why, if at all possible, the team should be in on the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes. From there, Pete reviews how he was run over by Brian Mitchell recently (and then gets salty) and then JP gets in on the FU fun before the guys give out one pick for each of this weekend's playoff games. If you like podcasts where Pete makes a very basic revelation and the possibility of Reverse Ashburn Syndrome is discovered, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Taylor Heinicke plays out of his mind, but sadly, Washington's season comes to an end vs. Bucs Jan 10, 2021

The end of the season is here, but damn, it was a memorable one. For the last time for a while, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are coming at you from the FedEx Field parking lot to break down a Washington game, this one their playoff loss to the Bucs. For many, it'll be known as the Taylor Heinicke Night, and that's where the hosts begin. What did they make of his performance and where does he fit going forward? That second question especially leads to some interesting discussions. After that, there's chatter about how the defense handled itself vs. Tom Brady, criticism about the number of drops and a brief look at the top three offseason priorities. And to close, JP, Mitch and Pete run through one final set of Over/Unders, 100 Chips and Game Balls and Goats before trying to put a bow on a wild campaign. If you like podcasts where Mitch tries to be Mr. Shtick instead of Pete and JP ends things with a magnificent monologue about roller coasters, then this is the episode for you. And thank you for following along all year. Don't worry: The momentum will still be real all offseason long.

POSTGAME POD: THE WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM IS HEADING TO THE PLAYOFFS. THEY'RE NFC EAST CHAMPS Jan 04, 2021

Was it pretty? Nope. Does it matter? Also nope. The Washington Football Team is playoff bound, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to celebrate with you. THE PLAYOFFS. The hosts discuss that achievement, praise the defense and reflect on how crazy this year has been. Yes, they also address Doug Pederson basically giving Ron Rivera's club the dub, but that's secondary to all the good vibes. Also in the show, you'll hear Mitch rant about Tom Brady's upcoming trip to Landover and Pete accidentally spill a hypothetical beer. And in the end — and you gotta work to get there — hopefully you'll realize how rare these kinds of things are. If you like podcasts when Washington's current rebuild gets compared to buying a beachfront property and JP just NAILS his opening, then this is the episode for you. (Also, at the end-end, JP interviews Chase Young. That interview was recorded before Week 17, but there's still plenty to digest from the star defensive end.)

How are Alex and Terry looking? And will Washington be division champions come Sunday night in Philly? Dec 31, 2020

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey seriously hope this isn't their last preview installment of the season. To start it off, the guys go through the injury updates you care about most, while also touching on how the Eagles are looking healthwise before Sunday's meeting. From there, they run through their pregame segments, where Mitch goes nuts in 100 Chips, there's a lot of Antonio Gibson hype in Over/Unders, and everyone ends up predicting a victory. Yup. After those all wrap, there's time for some shtick, as Pete has JP and Mitch try to guess the movie he was watching before the mics turned on and then the trio hands out some FUs. If you like podcasts where JP is afraid that the heater beneath his feet could malfunction at any second and each host does their best Chase Young impression, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Dwayne Haskins completely flames out and Washington blows a major opportunity vs. Panthers Dec 28, 2020

This could've been a division-winning edition of Washington Football Talk. Key word: could've. Instead, thanks to a very uninspiring outing from Dwayne Haskins and a few others, the Burgundy and Gold fell to the Panthers in Week 16, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have many thoughts about the loss. They, clearly, begin with Dwayne, and discuss if he was pulled at the right time, if he's now truly done in DC and what to make of his press conference drama. They then look ahead to Week 17 and wonder who the hell will be starting for this team in Philly. After more frustration, and then more frustration, the hosts go through Game Balls and Goats, Over/Unders and 100 Chips. And to close, you'll hear Chase Young's interview with NBC Sports Washington's postgame crew, which, as usual, is worth listening to. If you like podcasts where the Football Team is compared to a window and Pete gets furious with the birds who are pooping on his car, then this is the episode for you.

Dwayne's dumb decision: Reacting to the wild drama surrounding the QB (and, oh yeah, previewing the Panthers game!) Dec 24, 2020

This Washington Football Talk begins with JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey discussing a topic they NEVER could've imagined: the team's starting QB being punished for partying mask-less with strippers. The trio describe their initial reaction to the Haskins news, run through other examples of Dwayne's immaturity coming to the forefront and wonder where the franchise goes from here. They also give their opinion on how Ron Rivera handled the situation, which includes thoughts on his testy Wednesday presser. Eventually, they're able to move on to Alex Smith's health (yep, that's important too!) before turning their attention to a POTENTIALLY-CLINCHING WIN this Sunday with 100 Chips, Over/Unders and more. Lastly, JP serves as the mediator in an issue involving Mitch and Pete before they toss to an interview with — get this — Maury Povich. As in, THE Maury. Make sure you get through all of the above topics and listen to this, because Maury, who's been a fan of Washington for decades, was incredible. If you like podcasts where Mitch somewhat quotes Mark Twain and Maury tells the guys he wants to golf with them, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Washington gets a reality check against the Seahawks and their winning streak is now over Dec 21, 2020

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to break down Washington's loss to the Seahawks. What is their primary takeaway from the contest and are they coming away from it more encouraged or less encouraged about this team? From there, they do their best to evaluate Dwayne Haskins' performance, which was at times quite disappointing and at others somewhat promising. At some point, you'll also get an explanation from Mitch about those sweet camera shots that everyone was talking about. To close, it's time for Game Balls and Goats, Over/Unders and 100 Chips, and Mitch particularly enjoys the last two segments. If you like podcasts where JP very casually ruins the allure of Santa Claus (don't listen to this episode with your young children around) and Pete's intense gambling struggles are brought up, then this is the episode for you.

Bringing you up to speed on QB, discussing Seattle with a Seahawks insider and chatting with Peter Rosenberg Dec 17, 2020

There's a starting QB mystery, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey dive into it to start this Washington Football Talk. After hearing from Ron Rivera, Scott Turner and Alex Smith on Wednesday, the three hosts each give their educated guess as to who'll start this weekend against the Seahawks. Well, JP sort of guesses and sort of doesn't. Then, they toss to JP's interview with NBC Sports Northwest's Joe Fann, a Seattle insider who's the ideal guest to talk to ahead of Sunday's major matchup. After that, JP, Mitch and Pete welcome on radio star Peter Rosenberg, who reps the Burgundy and Gold despite working in New York. While on, the very energetic Rosenberg gives his thoughts on perhaps bringing Sam Darnold to DC as well as how his opinion of Ron has changed in 2020. Lastly, your three regular hosts return to go through over/unders and 100 Chips, as well as another round of FUs. If you like podcasts where JP reveals that he had to take a bullet for another media member on Wednesday and Pete goes off because of a shipping catastrophe, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Washington's defense carries them to a win over the Niners and into FIRST PLACE once again Dec 14, 2020

Any time a Washington Football Talk begins with a strong rant from JP Finlay about success, you know things are going right and that's precisely what happens on this one. Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey then join to reflect on everything from Washington's Week 14 win over the Niners, including the DOMINANT DEFENSE, Chase Freakin' Young, the QB drama and much, much more. They also look into the far future and wonder just how well Ron Rivera is setting this franchise up for many more victories. There's even more talking from there (this one is full of positive chatter, because winning rules) before the trio wraps up with their usual postgame stuff, where Pete really rakes it in. If you like podcasts where there are legit chants about wanting to face Tom Brady in the playoffs and so much praise for the defense, then this is the episode for you.

Analyzing whether Washington can keep their streak going vs. the 49ers, as well as chats about RB and Kyle Smith Dec 11, 2020

While there isn't any hypothetical bourbon in this Washington Football Talk, there is plenty of real content. To begin, you'll get JP Finlay's interview with Ron Rivera that happened on Tuesday after the Pittsburgh dub. While that game is now in the past, hearing Ron review it is still very worth it. Then, JP brings on Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey to analyze Antonio Gibson's health/the running back situation, Washington's new QB, where Kyle Smith stands in the organization and if there's any worry about a letdown this weekend against the Niners. That leads the trio into their usual preview segments before they pass it off to JP's chat with NBC Sports Bay Area Insider Matt Maiocco, who updates you on what's happening with the San Fran, Trent Williams and Jordan Reed. Then, to close, there's another round of FUs. If you like podcasts where Mitch gets desperate in 100 Chips and JP overshares about his various fantasy teams, then this is the episode for you.

Thoughts on left tackle, Alex Smith and Thomas Davis, as well as a Cam Sims interview and a Bengals preview Nov 19, 2020

Hope you're ready for this one, Washington Football Talk listeners, because it's a doozy. Before getting into a bunch of quality discussions, JP Finlay begins by losing his bleeping mind over his Zoom situation in what can only be labeled as an explosion. Once he cools off (sort of), you'll hear his 1-on-1 with Ron Rivera from earlier in the week. Then, he, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey look at Washington's dicey left tackle situation, wonder what the perfect amount of attempts for Alex Smith is, go back and forth on why Thomas Davis isn't playing and give their thoughts on the team rolling with Dustin Hopkins for at least a little longer. Next, the trio goes through their 100 Chips and Over/Under segments as they turn their attention to the Bengals game, toss to a really, really fun interview they did with Cam Sims and close by giving their scouting report on the Wizards' first-round pick from Wednesday's NBA Draft. If you like podcasts where you learn about how polite Cam Sims is and Pete's latest presser struggles are documented, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: This Washington Football Team is really frustrating and their loss to Detroit captures that perfectly Nov 16, 2020

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey start off this Washington Football Talk podcast by coming up with one word to describe the team that's at the center of their show, and the words aren't positive. They shouldn't be, either, considering how down and up and DOWN they were in their game against the Lions. After that opening segment, they review other parts about Sunday's loss, including Alex Smith's day, Chase Young's back-breaking penalty, that bizarre second-and-2 play call and Dustin Hopkins' struggles. Once those wrap up, they run through their usual Game Balls and Goats, Over/Unders and 100 Chips to conclude. During that stretch, one host gets to punch another, which you'll hear. If you like podcasts where JP comes up with a promising roller coaster bit idea and then soon kills it and Mitch tells a random John Ross story in the final minute, then this is the episode for you.

Once those finish, you'll get the trio's live pod from the Ourisman dealership in Alexandria, where they're joined by new friend Martha, who's an encyclopedia of Burgundy and Gold knowledge.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to hopefully bring you a quality podcast about a not-so-quality football team. The three hosts begin this Washington Football Talk by admitting that they are all still infected with Ashburn Syndrome before reacting to yet another major QB injury. How many times will that happen to this organization? From there, they dive deeper into the Burgundy and Gold's latest disappointing loss, doing segments on how the defense didn't step up and whether rolling with Alex Smith over Dwayne Haskins is the right call for now. Eventually, they close with their usual hallmarks, including Game Balls and Goats, 100 Chips, Over/Unders and What Made You Smile. If you like podcasts where Mitch makes maybe the strangest noise in history and JP, Mitch and Pete have to battle through a weird smell in the parking lot, then this is the episode for you.

WEEK 9 PREVIEW: JP interviews Alex Smith and Dale Earnhardt Jr., then the guys preview Sunday's Giants matchup Nov 06, 2020

This week's Washington Football Talk is a day late, but the wait is going to be worth it. Why? Oh, because JP Finlay got the chance to talk to Alex Smith for an extended amount of time AND also catch up with Dale Earnhardt Jr. NBD. First, you'll hear Smith reflect on the comeback he's made so far, talk about his new off-field cause and answer whether he wants to be the starter in 2021, in addition to discussing the NFC East race. After that, Earnhardt Jr. jumps on to give his thoughts on Dwayne Haskins and explain why he isn't necessarily all in on making the playoffs this year. Once those two stars are done, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey hop on to replace them (womp womp). Once JP, Mitch and Pete are reunited, they look ahead to this weekend's tilt with the Giants, hitting their usual preview segments. If you like podcasts where JP and Mitch are weirdly nice during the "F U" portion of the proceedings and Pete gets a bit strange in 100 chips, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Washington dismantles Dallas and, well, they’re somehow in the playoff conversation again Oct 26, 2020

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have a victory to discuss again, finally! And it was a very simple one, too. From an undisclosed location at FedEx Field, the three hosts try to decide how much about Week 7 was because Washington was on point and how much about it was because Dallas is such a disaster. They also discuss Landon Collins’ reported season-ending injury and Jon Bostic’s hit on Andy Dalton before, yes, chatting about the team’s playoff chances. The second half of the proceedings is devoted to the usual segments, and to close, you’ll hear from Terry McLaurin and Cole Holcomb, who were both guests on NBC Sports Washington’s Postgame Live show.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and their new producer, Jason Murphy, are here for one last preview before the bye week, and they start off this Washington Football Talk by getting right into an exchange Ron Rivera and Pete had during Rivera's Wednesday presser. What was said and why does it matter? You'll find out soon enough. Then, the guys go back and forth on whether Washington is positioned to take advantage of Dallas' struggling offense and STRUGGLING defense this Sunday before tossing to their interview with Mina Kimes. In that interview, the ESPN football analyst compares her beloved Seahawks to Washington to figure out what the latter needs to do like the former, expresses her confusion over the QB situation in DC and then tries to cheer up the hosts she's joining because they kept getting all emo. Then, to close, JP, Mitch and Pete return to go through their 100 Chips, Over/Unders and F U segments. If you like podcasts where Mitch reveals he's getting a Cam Sims tickle and Mina helps come up with the ideal next name for Washington, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Washington played to win but ultimately lost a real heartbreaker in New York Oct 19, 2020

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are fed up just like you, and they're here to talk about how fed up they are. They get right into it, too, wondering if Ron Rivera made the right call by going for two at the end of Washington's game versus the Giants, and then, they each choose a word to describe their overall mood. None of the words are positive. More conversation follows that, including a recap of Kyle Allen's day. In the second half of their show, the guys go through their usual segments, probably giving out too many Game Balls and Hat Tips in the process, and close things out with a quick thought on a tough anniversary. If you like podcasts where Mitch already beings to argue for the team to take a tackle in next year's draft and the hosts' moods matches yours, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are doing this preview pod for their second time, but it's your first time hearing it because the other one, uh, disappeared. So, listen as the guys, again, run through their thoughts on Dwayne Haskins' illness, Kyle Allen's aggressiveness and Alex Smith's current situation. After they look under center, Mitch takes you through some possible offensive line tinkering and Pete does the same for safety. Then, to close, the hosts run through a very simple Over/Under segment and a very complicated 100 Chips segment. If you like podcasts where JP labels Mitch the Fake Bet Police and Pete learns about a crucial scene in Varsity Blues, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Alex Smith makes his miraculous return in an otherwise DREADFUL loss to the Rams Oct 11, 2020

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are torn: Should they be more amazed that Alex Smith's comeback took place at FedEx Field in Week 5 or more horrified by everything else that occurred with the Washington Football Team vs. the Rams? That's the opening topic they tackle in this latest postgame show. They also run through if Ron Rivera's proclamation that he's going to stick with Kyle Allen (as long as he's healthy) is the right call and, oh yeah, touch on the Dwayne Haskins trade rumors! Michael Phillips, who's always a welcome presence, appears halfway through to contribute his thoughts on everything. After that, they hit their typical postgame segments, which are all low on enthusiasm and high on criticism. And to close, they explain a few of Pete's latest gaffes with a few dairy-related items. If you like podcasts where JP begins things with a supremely obscure reference and Mitch just totally flubs a well-known cliche, then this is the episode for you.

EMERGENCY POD: Dwayne Haskins is benched(!), Kyle Allen is starting(!) and Alex Smith is now backing Allen up(!) Oct 07, 2020

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have plenty to talk about. So much to talk about. The MOST to talk about. And, of course, it begins at Washington's quarterback spot. Kyle Allen is now the guy, Alex Smith is behind him and Dwayne Haskins is at the bottom of the depth chart. What did JP, Mitch and Pete make of the move, is Haskins' career in Washington over, what does this say about Ron Rivera and, overall, is it the right call? They also debate who'll have the most starts in 2020 between that QB trio, which is a very interesting topic. After that, they look ahead to Sunday's game against the Rams, wondering how many yards Allen will throw for and if he can help Washington to a much-needed win. And at the end, they run through their F U Segment (as well as a neat variation on it) and review their very fun round of golf together. If you like podcasts where Mitch can't stop talking about pigs and there's a discussion about who has the worst typos, then this is the episode for you. AIRHORN.

POSTGAME POD: Washington falls to 1-3, but was this loss another disappointment or merely expected? Oct 05, 2020

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey gather around a (new, sturdier) table for this postgame episode from outside of FedEx Field, and they begin by making a noise that they feels best describes Washington's Week 4 loss to the Ravens. None of the noises are that inspiring. After that, they run through their evaluations of Dwayne Haskins — was this a step forward, a step backward or no step at all? — and reflect on Ron Rivera's hardest game yet. They then go through their Over/Unders, 100 Chips and What Made You Smile segments before taking a look around the garbage NFC East and closing with some shtick. If you like podcasts where JP describes the Ravens' performance by coming up with a brunch analogy and Pete discusses his painful first experience with a splinter, then this is the episode for you.

JP and Gov. Hogan discuss Hogan's feelings about this weekend's meeting between Baltimore and Washington, the latest on sports betting in the state and if Hogan gets insulted when he sees the franchise so desperate to build a stadium in DC. Once Hogan says goodbye, the trio of hosts preview Sunday's matchup by going through their Over/Under and 100 Chips segments. Another interview follows that, and this one features former NFL receiver Torrey Smith, a guy who's familiar with the Ravens and who also has a terrific Sean Taylor story that you'll love. Lastly, JP, Mitch and Pete return for some heavy shtick that involves JP "gifting" clothes to Pete. If you like podcasts where Mitch angers JP with his supposed knowledge of biking and the word "frack" is used constantly, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back, but they don't waste too much time at the start of this Washington Football Talk because they want you to hear JP's newest 1-on-1 with Ron Rivera. In that interview, JP and Ron go back-and-forth about how Dwayne Haskins is performing, and Rivera brings up a very intriguing part of his past that could impact how much more time he gives his young QB. When that wraps, the trio returns to give their thoughts on what the coach told JP. Then, they move on to reacting to Matt Ioannidis' likely season-ending injury (how big of a deal is it?) as well as Chase Young's far less severe but still concerning groin issue. And, to close, they go through another segment of F Us. If you like podcasts where JP, Mitch and Pete reflect on their experience with an NBC Podcast Taskforce and JP gets upset with the Falcons, the Bears and cashiers, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Dwayne Haskins has the worst start of his NFL career as Washington loses its second straight Sep 28, 2020

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey gathered in Mitch's living room for yet another sad postgame show. The beginning bulk of it deals with Dwayne Haskins, who had a very poor outing in Cleveland. They explain why this failure felt different than last week's and even wonder if the names Kyle Allen or Alex Smith are going to become relevant at some point. Yeah, not fun. They also touch on Chase Young's injury before going through Ron Rivera's timeout usage, which again will be a topic of conversation. To wrap, they handle their What Makes You Smile, Game Balls and Goats, Over/Unders and 100 Chips segments. And at the end, you'll get Dontrelle Inman's postgame interview, which aired on NBC Sports Washington's Postgame Live.

WEEK 3 PREVIEW: Why it's so hard to grade Dwayne right now and predicting how the Cleveland game will shake out Sep 25, 2020

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have quite a Washington Football Talk for ya. To begin, they post up at one of their Ourisman spots to discuss the latest injuries, whether there's going to be a conflict when it comes to Ron's global view of operating the franchise and the win-now nature that other coaches and players possess and why it's so difficult to figure out Dwayne's production and potential right now. Then, they toss to JP's 1-on-1 with Jon Bostic, who discusses what it's like playing with Chase Young and his blossoming real estate business. After that, the hosts return, but this time they're at MGM National Harbor, where they look ahead to the Cleveland matchup and go through their over/under and 100 Chips segments. They also make fun of one of their coworkers (and it's not Pete). If you like podcasts where Mitch's phone gets compared to the Terminator and JP gives the longest answer ever for a fan question, then this is the episode for you.

In that 1-on-1, Rivera gets very, very passionate in defending how he's running the team and you'll be able to feel that passion build throughout the conversation. After that wraps, the guys return to touch on Troy Apke's struggles and whether Dwayne Haskins' play will improve. Then, to close, they bring back, for the second time, their beloved "F U" segment.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are feeling a lot different about things a week after they were feeling really good about things. To begin this Washington Football Talk ep, which comes after the disappointing loss to the Cardinals, the hosts play a fitting song (that Pete hasn't heard before) and get right into their reactions. How worried are they about the offense, how worried are they about Dwayne Haskins and how worried are they about the direction of the entire roster? They also debate Ron Rivera's field goal decision, which gets fairly complicated. To close, they run through Game Balls and Goats, go through over/unders and recap how their 100 chips were spent before closing out with a lighter segment. If you like podcasts where Mitch makes up a word then gets slammed for it and a not so tasty blame pie gets made, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back in a parking lot for this Washington Football Talk, and they begin by looking at Washington's wideouts. That quickly leads into a discussion about Allen Robinson — would he fit with the Burgundy and Gold, should they try to get him and is there even really a chance for them to get him? After finishing that segment up, they move into a game of Real or Fake, as they try to figure out what parts of the opening win are going to continue and which parts won't. To close things out, they each decide whether they want to adjust their season record predictions based on Week 1 and then debut one of JP's best ideas ever.

This Washington Football Talk starts off with a bang, just like the 2020 season did on Sunday thanks to the franchise's giant win over the Eagles.

Kyle Brandt, the other half of that controversial Kirk Cousins interview, reacts to Kirk's thoughts (and covers other topics, too) Sep 02, 2020

The Washington Football Talk pod prides itself on being timely, and few shows in our history will be as timely as this. Kirk Cousins is making major news with his opinion on the coronavirus and mask-wearing, and the person he delivered those opinions to, Kyle Brandt, was kind enough to join this operation to explain his interview with the QB. In Brandt's mind, people aren't paying attention to their entire back-and-forth. Allow him to expand. While Brandt's on, he also takes time to explain what he thinks the best-case season is for Washington and absolutely nails the franchise's ice cream flavor equivalent. In all, he was wildly entertaining. If you like podcasts where the guest has the exact same gambling preferences as the hosts, then this is the episode for you.

LIVE OURISMAN POD: Debating topics like whom McLaurin's sidekick will be and which position group is most concerning Jun 25, 2020

This Redskins Talk was recorded at Ourisman Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Alexandria, which made JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey quite happy. You wouldn't be able to tell, though, with the way JP and Mitch begin things (by getting into a bit of a tiff). Once they stop bickering, however, a fun edition of Redskins Talk ensues, where the trio cover all sorts of things, including: 1) Whom Terry McLaurin's sidekick at receiver will be, 2) Which way the Redskins would go at QB in 2021 *if* Dwayne Haskins has problems, 3) Which position group is the most concerning and 4) JP's unfortunate bee sting and lawn problems. If you like podcasts where you hear what JP, Mitch and Pete's jobs would be if they weren't covering the Redskins and you also hear about Mitch getting lost before this was recorded, then this is the episode for you.

Should the Redskins retire more numbers, and if so, whose? Plus, a debate on how many sacks the defense will get Jun 22, 2020

For this Redskins Talk, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey returned to their park and, after a few important announcements and promotions, discussed whether the team should retire more numbers, and which players have numbers that are worth retiring. They all have varying opinions on the matter, which made for intriguing back-and-forths. Eventually, the hosts then looked ahead to 2020 and wondered how many sacks the revamped defense could rack up. Is finishing first in the NFL in that category a wild thought or actually possible? If you like podcasts where you get some sprinkled-in analysis on a random pickup basketball game that was happening by the guys' picnic table and the word "shoelace" is ruined for you forever, then this is the episode for you.

Sifting through our mailbag to answer questions on Scherff and cap space, and having a chat about Rivera choosing the Redskins Jun 18, 2020

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey haven't opened their mailbag in a while (read: months), so in this Redskins Talk, the guys decided to fix that and answer questions they hadn't gotten to yet. The segments starts out with some random inquiries and spam, but once things get moving, some interesting discussions follow. Among those discussions is the idea of moving Brandon Scherff to left tackle and what Washington can do with all their cap space. Eventually, JP poses a question of his own: Why did Ron Rivera choose the Burgundy and Gold instead of the handful of other jobs that he could've taken? The trio cover that before finishing things off with some — surprise — golf content. If you like podcasts where Mitch describes the new artwork on his walls and JP commends Pete for being able to read simple words, then this is the episode for you.

JP, Mitch and Pete hold discussions about Daron Payne, Ryan Anderson, the new defensive staff and more Jun 15, 2020

For the first time in months/years/decades, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were in the same physical location for a recording of Redskins Talk, and this one bounces around between a lot of defense-focused conversations (as well as some largely un-focused conversations, too). After catching up, the guys wonder if Daron Payne is the most talented D-lineman on the team, then look at the franchise potentially trading Ryan Anderson. After that, they wonder how much of a difference the new defensive staff will make in 2020 before closing with rapid-fire analysis on all of Washington's upcoming position battles that will take place this summer. If you like podcasts where Mitch has a verbal slip-up that make JP and Pete lose it, and podcasts where Pete's haircut and JP's skin get analyzed (too?) closely, then this is the episode for you.

Chris Simms explains why Dwayne Haskins is so low in his QB rankings and what Haskins must do to climb upwards Jun 11, 2020

This is a really fun Redskins Talk, and it kicks off with an interview with NBC Sports' Chris Simms. In that interview, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey ask Simms why he put Dwayne Haskins so low (39th out of 40th, to be precise) in his annual QB rankings. The analyst explains how he arrived to that conclusion, whether he'd want Dwayne, Kyle Allen or Cam Newton for 2020 and even gives a superb breakdown of the second-year pro's mechanics. In all, it's a very enlightening segment and you'll learn a lot from it. Once Simms heads out, JP, Mitch and Pete return to recap this week's Zoom calls with Haskins and Ron Rivera, both of which were very impressive, and then close by catching up on Pete the Property Manager's recent exploits. If you like podcasts where JP nearly unravels before your eyes/ears and there's some talk about the guys returning to the casino, then this is the episode for you.

JP, Mitch and Pete compare their best-to-worst rankings of the Redskins' position groups Jun 07, 2020

Before getting into their individual rankings of the Redskins' position groups, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Redskins Talk with a few smaller items, such as chatting about JP's mileage of late, the hotel points they're all going to lose out on now that training camp in Richmond isn't happening and their new, special Facebook Live show that debuts this week, which you must tune in for. After all that, they then run through all 10 of the Burgundy and Gold's offensive and defensive position groups and rank those 10 spots from best to worst. The top of their lists all look similar, but after that, there's some parsing and disagreeing. Quarterback, receiver and cornerback were three of the more contentious ones up for debate. Then, to close, JP gives an important update on the "Who'll get married first, Mitch or Pete?" discussion. If you like podcasts where JP is especially wound up and Pete gets yelled at for thinking Ronald Darby may be an OK player, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey welcome Martin on first to get her thoughts on what's happening in our country after the George Floyd murder and explain how she thinks people should move forward from the tragedy to ensure the world really does become better from it. After that segment, the three hosts go around the horn asking Martin for her take on the Redskins, from why she thinks Dwayne Haskins will be graded unfairly this year to what qualifies as a successful 2020 in Washington. Once she says goodbye, JP, Mitch and Pete come back to wrap things up. If you like podcasts where JP's listening gets compared to that of an elementary schooler, then this is the episode for you.

Saturday was a wild one, and Redskins Talk is here to recap it. First, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey explain how the Trent Williams saga finally concluded, and in doing so, have discussions on what the trade shows about the franchise, what to expect from Saahdiq Charles and the multiple ways in which fans should still be grateful for Trent, even after this messy last year. Eventually, the guys are able to move on to what Washington did on Day 3 of the draft and the draft as a whole, holding segments on their favorite picks as well as the ones they feel like may not deliver. Then, to close out their portion, they — along with producer Tim Shovers and NBC Sports Washington legend Gary Carter — identify their top moments from the past weekend, in which they all give very different answers. Carter, by the way, also talks a lot in the earlier portions of the ep, even though he wasn't supposed to.

Get ready to get hyped up. That leads in to a really fun interview the guys had with Landon Collins (18:42), who was actually on with them when the Young pick came through (you'll enjoy his reaction). Then, the trio catches up with Young's college D-line coach, Larry Johnson (25:04), who drops a lot of useful information about the ex-Buckeye.

However, for the most part, it's a celebratory Redskins Talk, and rightly so. If you like podcasts where Pete relays a funny botch he made during Young's conference call and you hear Collins' raw reaction to his team's new weapon, then this is the episode for you.

If you like podcasts where the hosts are proud of their 'Twas the Night Before Christmas remix and there's a celebration for Tress Way's Pro Bowl berth, then this is the episode for you. And come to the Pod Party on Thursday at Rockville Matchbox. It's going to be excellent.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and John Keim hopped into Mitch's car for a Redskins Talk that's got it all.

Finally, their last segment deals with Josh Norman's new reality as a bench player.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are feeling mixed emotions in this Redskins Talk. To begin, they start off in a celebratory mood, as they enjoy the Redskins’ first home win in 13 months, a victory that featured excellent play from young receivers and a defense that came up clutch.

There’s a ton to unpack about the rookie, so pay attention to all of it. They then move onto JP’s report that Bill Callahan “ripped into” the Redskins the night before the game before closing with Game Balls & Goats and Over/Unders.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey finally found themselves in the same place again so they decided to record this Redskins Talk to celebrate.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey welcome on two of the more passionate Redskins fans you'll find in media, Chad Dukes and Barstool Nate, for this edition of Redskins Talk. First, Dukes calls in, and during his time, he explains why it's so hard to root for Washington to lose even if that may be best for them long-term, runs through his best- and worst-case head coaching moves and also lays out why he wouldn't *hate* it if the team kept Bill Callahan in charge. Then, it's Nate's turn, and he also gets a chance to say what he's rooting for before talking about the lack of hope he's been feeling for quite some time in a segment many will be able to relate to.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and John Keim got together for a long, all-over-the-place and fun Redskins Talk. To start, the four reflect on JP's report that Bill Callahan was given full control on roster decisions and why that may not be such a big deal. Then, they launch into a big Dwayne Haskins decision. What progress did he show vs. Buffalo, where can he go from here and why is the team not just naming him the starter already? Next, they briefly touch on Cam Newton rumors before JP throws out a wild draft scenario involving Washington potentially taking another QB this coming April. Lastly, a Redskins Talk staple returns: The ranking of everyone's bye week activities. Mitch is doing some incredibly fun stuff, while Keim... isn't.

Case Keenum missed walkthrough Wednesday, so what does that mean for him, Dwayne Haskins and Colt McCoy? Sep 26, 2019

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have an Urgency Pod edition of Redskins Talk, because Case Keenum is in a walking boot and missed walkthrough on Wednesday. This makes the quarterback position very interesting, because if he misses Sunday, the Redskins will have to decide between starting Dwayne Haskins or Colt McCoy. Or, he could play Sunday and then the team will have to decide who his backup is. Overall, it's a very fluid situation, and the three hosts talk about it on their own before also getting input from John Keim, Michael Phillips and Steve Whyno. Eventually, each give their opinion on who SHOULD start if Case can't, and who WILL start if Case can't. To close, they focus on another injury-riddled group: the offensive line. Brandon Scherff and Chase Roullier are dinged up, so how alarming is that? If you like podcasts where Mitch presents a somewhat good, somewhat bizarre Nationals-Redskins theory and there is a TON of QB drama, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey all tried to keep their sanity in this Redskins Talk, and it was incredibly hard considering what happened at FedEx Field on Monday night. The guys start things off with some depressing quotes that JP found on the Internet and then get right to it, assailing the team's arrogance in their offensive schemes, Greg Manusky's defense and the ugly running game especially in the fourth quarter. Next, they try to figure out what should and will happen when it comes to making a switch at quarterback, head coach and defensive coordinator. It feels like some major moves could be coming. Eventually, they go through Game Balls and Goats, where they get even angrier. To close, they try to open up some fortune cookies to find some hope for the future, and not even that goes well. If you like podcasts where the hosts are just as furious as you are and everyone's on the verge of melting down at any given second, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are already running out of words and it's only mid-September, but regardless, they're here to bring you yet another postgame podcast following a disappointing loss. Things get rowdy early, as the guys wonder what exactly is happening to this defense and whether Greg Manusky is the right man for this job. That leads into some more general analysis and anger about how this season has started and how the things that were supposed to be strengths aren't actually strengths. Eventually, they read off all of the ugly stats they can find just like they did in Week 1 before wondering if Manusky is coaching himself out of his role. Game Balls and Goats follow, which is heavy on Goats (duh) and then they recap their over/unders. Lastly, they address the listeners about something important. If you like podcasts where JP breaks out his "This Season Is Going To (Expletive) Flow Chart" and you get some random discussion about pets, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get this one going by updating you on Jordan Reed returning to the practice field and what that means for his Eagles availability.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are joined by Kareem Copeland of the Washington Post for this Sunday chapter of Redskins Talk. At the start, the four run through some injury news, which includes updates on Montez Sweat and Caleb Brantley. That transitions into a discussion about the QBs after another unimpressive day, and one filled with interceptions, too. After, they begin to wonder what the QB rotation will look like for Thursday's preseason opener. Could Dwayne Haskins sit? That's one interesting thing brought up. "One Thing" is next, and in that segment, you'll get a fantastic story from JP that involves a wild Haskins pass. Lastly, the hosts recap another memorable podcast party at the Veil (thank you to EVERYONE for coming). If you like podcasts where Pete almost voluntarily gets himself kicked off and Ajay gets roasted for some poor Saturday night behavior, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey keep on chugging along and have yet ANOTHER Redskins Talk for you. To start, the hosts discuss the Redskins' choice to go with a lighter practice and then hop into some QB analysis. Colt McCoy might be moving up the depth chart, folks, which is something JP's been pushing for a while. Then, they each choose their guy who's having the best camp behind Jordan Reed, and all three nominate different options. That leads into a chat about Cam Sims, and whether he deserves to be and can be a starting NFL wideout. Lastly, they run through "One Thing," and give observations about Jon Bostic and Cole Holcomb.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete "Chief Fight Correspondent" Hailey just keep Redskins Talking, and this one begins with another twist in the Trent Williams Saga. JP reported that Washington is exploring a potential trade of Trent, but would they actually do that? The hosts cover that angle and also update their "How confident are you that Williams will be here Week 1?" scale. Then, they evaluate Donald Penn and whether this team could function with him as their starter on the edge. After all that OL content, Pete looks to analyze another fight, but Mitch steps in with better notes and perhaps steals his title of Chief Fight Correspondent. Lastly, they run through "One Thing," where they have updates on Jeremy Sprinkle and Montez Sweat.

You'll get all those angles and more in that discussion. Eventually, they move on to "One Thing," where you'll hear thoughts on Trey Quinn and Adonis Alexander. The trio also goes back and forth on how the QBs looked as well as looking at how this roster could shape up at linebacker, where JP is beginning to notice a possible conundrum. Lastly, you'll hear JP's 1-on-1 with Josh Norman (32:45), who's pretty thrilled about how the secondary is shaping up in 2019.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were so, so ready to talk all about how great the offense looked on Sunday, but right as the Richmond session wrapped up, another Trent Williams report dropped. So, the three hosts begin this Redskins Talk by breaking that down, stating what was reported and assessing whether this makes them feel any worse about the situation.

You also, of course, get your "One Thing," where you'll hear about Montez Sweat. And, along the way, you get plenty of shtick, including lots of metric system talk. If you like podcasts where you get a pretty useless Nats update and Mitch gives Pete a new nickname that makes everyone cry with tears of laughter, then this is the episode for you.

After JP fights through some chair adversity early, the four have long, winding discussion about Washington's passers, starting with Dwayne Haskins. Troth gives you super detailed analysis on what Haskins is going through as a rookie and why being an NFL quarterback is so difficult, so be ready to learn a lot from him. He also explains Case Keenum's strengths and gives his answer for who he'd start as of now, and it might just surprise you. Eventually, JP steers things toward Donald Penn and what kind of solution he could provide the offense. You also get a PODCAST PARTY ANNOUNCEMENT. If you like podcasts where Redskins QBs are compared to cars (and other vehicles, too) and Mitch briefly ranks his favorite letters, then this is the episode for you.

Next, they analyze the day's standouts and finish with their "One Thing" segment, which features thoughts on Morgan Moses and Josh Harvey Clemons, among others.

In doing so, they assess what was talked about in terms of Trent Williams not being here, plus Mason Foster's release and the impending QB battle. At some point, Brian Mitchell inserts himself by politely (just kidding) taking Pete's mic as well as his chair.

Early Preview of Panthers/Skins + Look at 2020 Draft Jul 17, 2019

Loaded episode as JP & Pete first talk to Darin Gantt of Pro Football Talk who lives in Charlotte and then Jordan Reid from The Draft Network (not the TE from Florida).

The first thing Gantt is asked is for his national view of the Redskins, which is always a valuable thing to get from someone as plugged in as him. In that discussion, you'll hear JP lay out his theory about Washington's fan base, which Gantt supports. You'll also get Gantt's take on why Jay Gruden is a "really good" coach, which Gruden supporters and detractors should both take in. Lastly, since Gantt has lots of Panthers connections, you'll receive an update on Cam Newton's health, which matters to Washington since they travel to Carolina this year.

Then if you like NFL Draft talk, then Reid is going to be your guy. In his discussion with the hosts, he breaks down the biggest needs facing the Redskins in 2020 and also gives names that could fill those needs. He then zooms in on the wide receivers who'll be coming out next April, and as a group, it's LOADED. Before he goes, Reid also provides his take on Dwayne Haskins and Bryce Love. If you like podcasts where there's a weird amount of spelling shtick and JP and Pete laugh over a word they should be more mature about, then this is the episode for you.

Determining who or what should be responsible for deciding whether Dwayne Haskins starts right away Jun 26, 2019

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and Redskins Talk's buddy John Keim squadded up for this new edition of your go-to Burgundy and Gold podcast. First, the hosts talk about Friday's Podcast Party, providing info on when the giveaways will happen. Then, they jump into football, and today revolves around Dwayne Haskins. The guys react to Doug Williams saying that Jay Gruden, the front office and Haskins' performance will all factor into whether the rookie wins the starting job and try to decide what should matter most in this situation. In their reactions, they bounce around to a ton of related topics, from whether the franchise will use what they learned from RG3's time here to how the staff should handle the preseason to how Washington's difficult opening schedule applies (or doesn't apply) to the choice. That discussion dominates this Redskins Talk, but near the end, you'll also get cold tub stories from Keim and a back-and-forth about who'll be the stars of training camp. If you like podcasts where Keim's phone cuts out at precisely the wrong time and Mitch can't resist being weird with his percentages, then this is the episode for you.

To begin, the three reveal one more ENORMOUS prize that'll be given away at Friday's Podcast Party, which is going to be fantastic and you should absolutely come to it (Dudley's at 7 pm).

The guys kick that around for a while before tossing to an interview with Dave Birkett, who covers the Lions for Detroit Free Press. Birkett is brought in to discuss the bizarre, random Twitter rumors about the Redskins trading for Marvin Jones.

Is the analyst who picked the Redskins to go 2-14 totally wrong? Also, running through the options with Trent Williams Jun 18, 2019

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey convened inside of JP's car for this Redskins Talk to ensure they wouldn't have to bounce around to seven different locations, which allowed them to get nice and settled in for a lot of good chats. To begin, they react to NFL Network's Adam Rank's projection of the Redskins' 2019 season. He has them finishing at 2-14, which the hosts just don't agree with. So, what is the team's actual bottom and what would it take for them to fall there? That's what they go over. Once that wraps, they then cycle through JP's four scenarios that he sees the Redskins and Trent Williams could experience (21:36). All three hosts overwhelmingly agree on the most likely, but they also don't rule out a secondary one. Lastly, they explain why the Eagles' choice to close the public out of most of their training camp is a discouraging one. If you like podcasts where the beer sponsor for the upcoming party (JUNE 28TH, BE THERE) is announced and Mitch combines two real words into one fake one, then this is the episode for you.

Comparing Trent Williams' situation to Julio Jones' from last year, plus reacting to JP's latest 53-man roster projection Jun 10, 2019

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here for a fun and informative edition of Redskins Talk. To begin, the guys do some brief peanut butter and jelly-related shtick before tossing to an interview with Atlanta radio personality Mike Conti. Conti is brought on because of how familiar he is with Julio Jones' contract issues with the Falcons that began last offseason and are carrying into this one, and as it turns out, Jones' situation really resembles Trent Williams' in a lot of ways. The guys get the scoop from Conti on whether Jones' problems were a distraction and wonder whether the solution to Jones' problems could also solve the disagreement between Williams and the 'Skins. After Conti says goodbye, the three hosts then go through JP's latest 53-man roster projection, breaking down who he thinks will make the squad as of now. How many running backs, who will fill out the offensive line and what's going on at corner? All of those questions will be answered in this discussion. Also, as all of this is going on, the guys are constantly being bounced out of their recording spaces, so sorry about that. If you like podcasts where Pete gets credit for doing the simplest of tasks and there's some chatter about some new pod shirts, then this is the episode for you.

During the proceedings, you'll also hear a fun soundbite from Josh Norman. Lastly, JP makes a crucial announcement, letting you all know the date, time and location of the next Pod Party.

Minicamp recap, Day 2: The Trent Williams story takes a turn and is now even more serious Jun 05, 2019

Unfortunately, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey's Wednesday MyTeams stream was again largely focused on Trent Williams as opposed to what actually happened at Redskins minicamp, and that Williams-heavy discussion is now here as a podcast. The three hosts give you the latest on Williams' situation and then each rate how much this changes their level of concern, how much faith they have that it'll eventually be resolved and debate how much of a distraction it is. You'll also hear clips from Jay Gruden and Adrian Peterson, as they weigh in on the matter. The three do make sure to touch on other topics as well when they can, from Case Keenum's continued improvement to a very impressive Terry McLaurin touchdown. If you like podcasts where there's a lot of entertaining seesaw content and JP hints at a possible podcast party location, then this is the episode for you.

Minicamp recap, Day 1: This Trent Williams situation is absolutely cause for concern for the Redskins Jun 04, 2019

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey went on the MyTeams app to recap the first day of the Redskins' 2019 mandatory minicamp, and that broadcast is now here for you as a Tuesday podcast. The majority of it is dedicated to Trent Williams' reported holdout, which could be a major storyline for the rest of this offseason. The guys look at the situation from all angles, including why Williams has all of the leverage, what kind of trade — if any — makes sense for the team and how coaches and players reacted to the left tackle's decision. They do eventually cover some other things, though, from Case Keenum's continued improvement to Quinton Dunbar's return. And near the end, JP makes a very critical announcement, so stick around for that. If you like podcasts where Pete walks through his very intricate vegetable-making process and JP gives a discouraging update on his recent sickness, then this is the episode for you.

Once they all got settled, they basically turned on the recording and just let it all rip. From tremendous stories about Andi finding out that Rich was drinking on the road (after promising her he wasn't) to making fun of his devotion to gadgets and just recounting what made him so great, every second of this one is worth listening to. If you like podcasts where you hear about Tandler's boxers and Andi gets some surprise news, then this is the episode for you. Happy birthday, RT. We miss you.

Rob Ryan sits down for a long interview, Jon Allen & Landon Collins talk as well and is the defense slightly overrated? May 30, 2019

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey traded in the Ashburn sun for the Bethesda studios for this Thursday MyTeams stream, which is now available to you as a podcast. Before football things really get going, JP and Pete have to sort out an issue that has JP very, very upset and Pete playing defense. Once that settles down, the guys talk about Jay Gruden's job security; is he absolutely gone if the playoffs don't happen? Then, they toss to their second strong interview with Rob Ryan (9:56), and chat with the ILB coach about all of his players, how he feels post-Reuben Foster and what he thinks about the very experienced coaching staff. When that finishes, JP makes an interesting comparison between the 'Skins and the Nationals, which leads into a bigger look at whether people are expecting too much out of the 2019 defense. Eventually, you'll also hear soundbites from Jonathan Allen and Landon Collins before things wrap up with some Ereck Flowers-related shtick. If you like podcasts where the hosts discover a podcast mole and Mitch gets vindicated left and right, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were on the MyTeams app for a streaming show on Tuesday, and that show is now here for you to listen to as a podcast. To begin, the three recap their Memorial Day weekends, a weekend that hit all three pretty hard for various reasons. Then, they toss to Chris Simms' breakdown of Dwayne Haskins (where he compares Haskins to Big Ben) then react to that comparison. Once that wraps, they welcome on Santana Moss, and get Moss to talk all things 'Skins wideouts as well as Haskins, too. Who is Moss most focused among Washington's targets and which rookie receiver does he think will make a bigger early impact? The next guest, Newy Scruggs, provides an update on the Cowboys, from what kind of money they'll be looking to pay Dak Prescott to how Zeke Elliott's off-field hiccups affect his image in the franchise. Lastly, the trio returns to your favorite segment — reading through Pete's financial statements, which are predictably in shambles after a holiday weekend. If you like podcasts where Santana Moss gives solid analysis on Paul Richardson and Pete asks for a birthday present four months ahead of his birthday, then this is the episode for you.

ESPN's Matthew Berry talks his Redskins fandom and explains why he's so fired up about Dwayne Haskins May 23, 2019

Every guest we get on Redskins Talk is an important one, but here's one of the biggest to date: ESPN's Matthew Berry, who has been as crucial to the growth of fantasy football as anyone on the planet. However, JP Finlay didn't invite Berry on to talk fantasy; instead, JP and Matthew discuss strictly Redskins-related matters, all of which you'll enjoy. Why is Berry a 'Skins fan in the first place? Where does he fall when it comes to supporting Jay Gruden? You'll get those answers, plus a TON of nuggets on Dwayne Haskins, including some behind-the-scenes interactions Berry witnessed firsthand which he feels really show that Haskins is a leader and worth getting excited about. If you like podcasts where Berry directly tells younger fans why they need to stay with the Burgundy and Gold and where Berry lists a handful of reasons why the franchise's new quarterback could be the real answer under center, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey all threw on their blazers for this Redskins Talk MyTeams stream, which is now available to you as a podcast. To start, the guys further discuss the Reuben Foster injury, looking at where the 'Skins can go from here and trying to explain how Washington can withstand his loss. Then, they touch on Montae Nicholson's puzzling absence from OTAs before going in on Brandon Scherff's contract status. Do they expect a deal to get done before the season starts? JI Halsell, a salary cap guru, hops on to break down Foster's contract as well as what Scherff's new extension would look like, and while talking about Scherff, he drops a nugget that could have major consequences for a lot of reasons.

If you like podcasts where a major light bulb goes off for JP and you learn about each hosts' tennis skills, then this is the episode for you.

Looking at the Redskins' injury issues — are they bad luck or preventable? — and discussing the possibility of 'Hard Knocks' May 08, 2019

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and Richmond Bureau Chief Michael Phillips join together for this Redskins Talk, one that covers plenty of crucial topics. At the start, though, the guys get organized, both figuratively by listing off some prizes and milestones those prizes will be given away after, and literally, because JP is trying to get his life together. Then, JP lets Phillips get involved in the LG vs. WR debate from the last 'Skins Talk, a debate Pete isn't budging from despite everyone saying he should. Next, they each list their rookie to watch, since minicamp is this weekend. After that, Phillips goes in-depth on a very important and good article he wrote recently, one that tries to get to the bottom of the Redskins' injury problems. Are they bad luck and fluky, or something that's preventable? Is there even an answer? Lastly, they address the possibility of Washington being on "Hard Knocks," something a lot of fans have been asking about. If you like podcasts where you hear a bit too much about Pete being sweaty and Mitch gets way too hyped about the Bears' kicking competition, then this is the episode for you.

Make sure to listen all the way through to hear what the issue is and how, eventually, it feels like there's some resolution. Keyword: Some. After that, JP tells a very good story involving getting pulled over that has a miracle ending. If you like podcasts where Pete makes fun of Mitch being a TV rookie (much to Mitch and JP's dismay) and Mitch weirdly keeps interrupting JP's story, then this is the episode for you.

Mitch Tischler also gets cold-called and joins for a brief segment at the end. If you like podcasts where Pete gets excited because Sundberg has some of the same interests as him and JP and Nick bond over their Tupperware takes, then this is the episode for you.

Giving early guesses at how much Dwayne Haskins plays and assessing JP's way-too-early 53-man roster projection May 01, 2019

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler (who's out of his submarine from last ep) and Pete Hailey are coming at you from an undisclosed location for a really terrific Redskins Talk. To begin, the guys briefly thank the listeners for what's been a very hot streak as of late before looking at some early odds related to the 'Skins. The most interesting among them? The over/under set for Dwayne Haskins' 2019 starts. Once that wraps, along with a brief segment on JP's newfound gray hair, the hosts transition into looking at JP's way-too-early 53-man roster projection. How many QBs do they keep, who makes the cut at receiver, what's the deal up front and where is this roster basically already set? All of those topics are covered in this entertaining discussion that covers lots of side topics, too. Among those side topics — trying to predict which wideout will lead the team in catches and wondering why the Redskins haven't looked more into Tre Boston. That's about 50 minutes of football stuff total, so you should be satisfied, because then comes the shtick. You'll get a sampling of standout reviews before the three call Ajay Atayee to preview their Wednesday golf match. Ajay claims he can shoot lower than a 120 despite having never played 18 holes before, so he gets grilled on that. If you like podcasts where Mitch's shoes get roasted and JP describes one player as someone who "bathes in moxie," then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and Ben Standig are here for one more look back on the 2019 draft, one that is awfully fun to look back on. At the beginning of this Redskins Talk, the guys explain what makes this crop of players so promising. Then, Chad Dukes joins to give his take and answers questions on how he wants the 'Skins to handle Dwayne Haskins and why Washington deserves even more credit than they're getting, including the much-maligned front office. He also talks about beer and steak, which is quality too. Next up is Joe Theismann, who you may be familiar with. Theismann gives tons of good insight on Haskins' future, and also reveals his plan for Haskins potentially wearing No. 7. The back end of the pod is devoted to the listeners, who helped contribute to an unreal week of coverage, and the opening of a giant box filled with incredible goods that was sent to JP, Mitch and Pete. If you like podcasts where you get to bask in the glory of a bunch of talented new players and Mitch stands strong in the face of top button criticism, then this is the episode for you.

2019 DRAFT RECAP: Getting to know the 10 newest Redskins, a class that as of now looks fantastic Apr 28, 2019

The 2019 NFL Draft is over, and JP Finlay, Pete Hailey and Mitch Tischler are here to give you their wrap-up from what looks like an incredibly productive weekend for the Redskins. The three hosts are hanging on two respective porches, and to start, they run through Saturday's picks then give their overall impressions of the class as a whole. Then, they go through every pick, from the team's last to the first, and give their thoughts on each player. How does Jimmy Moreland fit into the secondary, what does Mitch think of the O-linemen and what does everyone make of the Bryce Love pick? All that analysis, and PLENTY more, can be found in this segment. Next, everyone identifies their GUY that they're most pumped to see in the Burgundy and Gold this season, before looking at spots that the 'Skins didn't address via the draft. Lastly, JP explains why the narrative that Washington is dysfunctional when it comes to this part of the offseason needs to be updated before they close out the proceedings with an old song that Pete of course doesn't get. If you like podcasts where Mitch gets irrationally mad at Pete for trying to bring up a fun fact and a golf tee disrupts JP's points at multiple portions, then this is the episode for you.

Breaking down what you need to know about Terry McLaurin, plus how the Redskins have a successful Saturday Apr 27, 2019

The Redskins only landed one player on Friday night but that player matters and so, too, did their trade, so JP Finlay and Pete Hailey are here to tell you all you need to know after the second and third round of the NFL Draft. To start, the guys set the scene, since they recorded this in JP's lovely basement, then get right down to reacting to Terry McLaurin's arrival. What do they like about the pick, where will he contribute most and what's their final grade of the selection? You'll hear all of that and more. Then, the two analyze the trade Washington made on Friday, explaining to you why the move made sense and how it sets them up for a productive Saturday. Next, they each come up with a question for Dwayne Haskins and Montez Sweat, since JP will be talking to them shortly. All of that is really solid football chatter, and it's all worth listening to. Following that is some fantastic shtick, which starts with JP opening some bourbon, much to the disappointment of Pete. Things then flow into a breakdown of the guys' new nap room, something JP pioneered and Pete loved, too, but also something that led to a very strange interaction. Lastly, the guys talk about the various places they'd have their draft parties if they were talented prospects. If you like podcasts where you get a very detailed description of JP's basement and Pete struggles mightily with drinking like a man, then this is the episode for you.

First, they each give their grades of the Dwayne Haskins and Montez Sweat selections, and while there are some tiny things to nitpick, they're all largely thrilled. In those conversations, you'll hear Matich explain why Sweat will be "vastly" better than Preston Smith and also what he thinks Haskins must improve on to make it in the league. After, they turn their attention to Friday, as each host identifies the most important positions to address and names that could work at those third round slots (or perhaps in the second if a trade presents itself). If you like podcasts where Trevor compliments Pete's ability to drop anchor and Mitch is in heaven with all the linemen talk, then this is the episode for you.

They then have Kevin Sheehan on (14:46), and Sheehan gives strong insight on the main predicament that's facing the Burgundy and Gold in this year's draft as well as why making a big move up would be a "massive mistake." Eric Bickel of the Junkies hops on next (27:39), and he explains why he feels a move that creates buzz is necessary as well as why he'd be cool with DK Metcalf at pick No. 15. Finally, Barstool Nate gets in on the action (45:10), ranking the passers he prefers as well before doing some tremendous Capitals shtick. If you like podcasts where JP comes up with a smooth golf analogy to describe Daniel Jones and Pete gets a very fitting Game of Thrones nickname, then this is the episode for you.

Getting the background on Josh Rosen's personality and talking to Maryland's speedy RB and future pro Ty Johnson Apr 10, 2019

Here's another fun Redskins Talk that's divided into two excellent halves. The first half features JP Finlay and Pete Hailey, as well as Katherine Fitzgerald, who covers the Cardinals out in Arizona. While on the phone, Fitzgerald provides strong insight into both Josh Rosen the QB and Josh Rosen the person. What are his strengths and weaknesses on the field, and what's he like off of it? She's got all the answers. Then, JP and Pete welcome on Maryland RB Ty Johnson (20:59), who is looking to take the next step in the NFL. In their interview, Johnson walks the guys through not being invited to the Combine, why he loves breaking off massive runs so much and how special teams will be key in making a final roster. If you like podcasts where JP's distaste for style in the NBA is revealed and Pete tries to brag to Johnson that he once lived with football players, too, then this is the episode for you.

Laying out bold predictions about the Redskins' 2019 Draft and getting a scouting report on Case Keenum from a Denver authority Apr 08, 2019

The first part of yet another strong Redskins Talk belongs to JP Finlay, Pete Hailey and John Keim, as the three read and react to JP's five (well, it's more like eight, even though he said five) predictions about the Redskins' upcoming draft, an idea taken straight from Tandler's playbook. From who's going to be the pick at 15 to whether the team goes more offense or defense, there's plenty of good debate in that segment. Once JP wraps up, Pete chimes in with a few of his own, including one related to Mitch Tischler. The second half of the action (35:48), meanwhile, is devoted to JP's interview with Mike Klis, who covers the Broncos for 9News in Denver. In their chat, Klis breaks down Case Keenum and also goes through what to expect from the Broncos in their draft (which'll directly impact the 'Skins). If you like podcasts where Keim comes up with the bizarro-world version of Redskins Talk and Pete thirsts for a guess appearance on Keim's show, then this is the episode for you.

An analyst explains why Rosen could be a "better version" of Kirk Cousins while a reporter breaks down the QB, too Apr 05, 2019

It's a Josh Rosen-heavy Redskins Talk for you to get the weekend going, and it's led by JP Finlay and Pete Hailey. To start, the two hosts bring on SI's Andy Benoit, one of the sharper analysts out there, to discuss Rosen. Benoit tweeted a few days ago that the second-year QB would be a perfect fit in Jay Gruden's offense, and he gets the chance to explain why. He also makes a very interesting comparison between Rosen and Kirk Cousins. Before he leaves, Benoit gives great analysis on the Redskins' need for a new left guard. After that, JP brings on The Athletic's CJ Holmes, who covers the Cards. Holmes discusses the likelihood of Arizona landing Kyler Murray at No. 1 and looks back on Rosen's first season with the dreadful offense he was forced to play with. Then, to wrap, JP and Pete bring on Big Apple Mitch — who all of the sudden is borderline too busy to hang out with his buddies — to break down another concerning development in Pete's finances. If you like podcasts where you get two different perspectives on a passer you're all wondering about and there's speculation about whether Pete can make it to the end of his lease, then this is the episode for you.

Parsing through Jay Gruden and Bruce Allen's recent pressers for more info, then going through Pete's ridiculous expenses Mar 28, 2019

It's just a two-man Redskins Talk today, with JP Finlay and Pete Hailey back in Bethesda to record a very interesting ep. To start, the guys open this "Parsing Pod" by picking out quotes from Jay Gruden and Bruce Allen's recent press conferences and examining them for deeper meaning and hints about the future. From Gruden saying he still doesn't like the idea of keeping 3 QBs to Bruce addressing the fact that his head coach is in a lame duck year, you'll hear those two speak then get JP and Pete's interpretation and analysis of their words. As that's going on, you'll also get to hear about Pete's terrible Facetime habits and JP's new, health-centric drink. Then, the pair transitions to some supreme shtick, as JP surprises Pete with a new game called "Take Pete's Phone And Go Through His Recent Expenses." There's some pretty shocking stuff in there, and Pete slowly crumbles as he realizes how much cash he's outlaying. If you like podcasts where JP's computer remains inoperable and you get an inside look at a millennial's spending habits, then this is the episode for you.

Next, the guys bring in Will Blackmon (16:01), who was excellent as always on Landon Collins and the myth of the "box safety," Ha Ha Clinton-Dix's first year in D.C. and what he thinks of Montae Nicholson's future. Once that segment wraps, you'll hear a brief soundbite from Case Keenum, which leads into more talk about the offense and wideout. Lastly, the hosts welcome in JI Halsell (45:08), a salary cap genius who analyzes everything from why 2019 is a make-or-break year for Josh Norman and how necessary it is for the 'Skins to land a cheap, young passer.

After the numbers have come out, the deal looks quite advantageous for the 'Skins. Next, the guys welcome on Tress Way (14:25), who was at the center of quite a "controversy" on Tuesday thanks to Stephen A. Smith mistakenly referring to Tress as a starting QB. Well, as you'll hear in the interview, Way doesn't mind it and is in fact relishing his new status as Washington's signal caller. The guys say goodbye to Way and then look at Jamison Crowder's departure, wondering if Trey Quinn is the guy to take over in the slot. Chris Simms hops on next (31:05), and the NBC Sports analyst gives his opinion on tons of topics, from Collins to the mid-round QB he likes as a potential Redskin. If you like podcasts where Mitch brings up the idea of doing a solo emergency pod about potential lineman signings and you get more insight on the team's biggest signing in a while, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and John Keim are here in this Redskins Talk podcast, which was supposed to be a long one but turned into a longgggggggggg one. After some chair complaints off the top, the guys go heavy on Josh Rosen. They evaluate everything, from his rookie year to the price it'd cost to get him to what worries them about him and how they feel about the move in general. That leads into a discussion on Kyler Murray, with thoughts on whether the Cardinals taking him is a done deal and how the Redskins could be interested in jumping up to grab him if they don't. Yes, repeat: The Redskins may want to get Murray if he slips past 1. Eventually, they move onto Antonio Brown, where the four hosts again look at potential compensation for the WR and how Bruce Allen and Dan Snyder factor into the decision. The final football segment includes rapid fire thoughts on Landon Collins and Preston Smith, and then it's shtick time. JP, Mitch, Pete and Ajay are soon playing in a fundraising poker tournament, so Keim was asked to rate each guy's potential at the table.

NFL COMBINE, DAY 1: Chris Simms pumps up Drew Lock big-time and the guys evaluate Redskins' first round options Feb 27, 2019

JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler's first day at the NFL Combine had a little bit of everything, and you'll get all those pieces in this episode of Redskins Talk. The show starts with Larry Michael on set as well, and the voice of the 'Skins breaks down various topics, including how the team's draft board gets built and the level of maturity that JP has. After that segment, the guys toss to an interview with Chris Simms, who drops some KNOWLEDGE about QBs (18:02). Included: Why Colt McCoy isn't that different from Alex Smith, why Kyler Murray is his top-rated option and why Drew Lock is higher in his mind than Dwayne Haskins, which is a very unique stance. Following Simms' stop at the table, JP and Mitch bring in Ben Standig to react and also look at non-QBs who'd make sense for the Burgundy and Gold at #15 (34:52). Lastly, Pete Hailey joins the show (49:32) and puts the guys through a Wonderlic/WonderShtick test, which Mitch dazzles in. If you like podcasts where you learn a ton about 2019 passers and Mitch's top button is a flash point, then this is the episode for you.

After watching all four Wild Card games, is it fair to say the Redskins weren't THAT far off from the teams who played in the first weekend of the playoffs? It's a discussion with a few layers to it. The second half of the podcast has to do with two assistant coaches whose futures aren't decided — Greg Manusky and Bill Callahan (25:47). Should, and will, those two guys be let go this offseason? That chat has some good nuggets from JP when it comes to Callahan. If you like podcasts where Pete gets yelled at for multiple things and JP tries, and fails, again to give even a respectable Jay Gruden impression, then this is the episode for you.

2018 Redskins season superlatives — Handing out some traditional, and some very non-traditional, season-long awards Jan 04, 2019

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have a fun Friday pod for you today that'll get your weekend started off right. The bulk of the action is devoted to the handing out of superlatives to Redskins players for this past year. JP decided on the awards, and they include regular ones such as MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, but also some out-there ones, too, like the Who Needs a Hug? award and a Wild Card superlative that of course causes confusion. JP, Mitch and Pete read their lists, and also talk about ones sent in by other members of NBC Sports Washington's Redskins coverage. It's a pretty wild offseason Redskins Talk and it features plenty of smack talk and disrespecting of everyone's lists. If you like podcasts where you get to hear about JP's low college GPA and Mitch registers a very high rating on the "Ehhhhhh Scale," then this is the episode for you.

If you like hard core football talk mixed in with a new Keim's Time segment, this is the episode for you.

Getting a chance to review the 2018 season (was it AS bad as it feels?) and looking at FedEx Field's ugly attendance numbers Jan 02, 2019

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey hopped into JP's whip for their first offseason pod and first pod of 2019. To begin, they reflect on how weird it is not to be at Redskins Park and also explain that while there are no staff changes yet, you shouldn't fret if you're hoping for some. Then, they jump into their first big topic, presented by JP: Was 2018 as bad overall as it feels right now? JP contends that, eventually, it won't feel as awful as it does today. Then, they quickly address the chatter about Dan Snyder's end-of-year meetings at FedEx Field, which a lot of fans are asking questions about. Next, they run through some of the low and high points of the year, with each host giving their opinions on what sticks out the most. Their last football topic deals with FedEx Field attendance, where all three explain why the 'Skins had the biggest drop in the league. And finally, they wrap up with some shtick, as everyone gets a chance to recap their New Years Eve. If you like podcasts where Pete drops a Toyota fun fact and no one gets clowned TOO hard for their NYE activities, then this is the episode for you.

Jay Gruden goes 1-on-1 to explain why the Redskins don't need to rebuild, and Tress Way reacts to his "perfect" season Dec 31, 2018

You have a couple of quality interviews to close out your 2018, courtesy of JP Finlay. First comes JP's final Monday 1-on-1 with Jay Gruden. In their last chat, JP asks the coach about how hard it'll be to construct his team going forward with Alex's Smith's future being so murky, if he considers guys like Preston Smith and Jamison Crowder as part of the 'Skins' nucleus and why Washington will not look to rebuild in 2019. Then, you'll hear JP's postgame interview from Sunday with Tress Way, where the punter explains why he loves playing for Gruden, what Adrian Peterson's postgame speech was like and how proud he is to have gone an entire season without a touchback. If you like podcasts where Gruden reveals the real reason why he did every interview with JP this season and JP goes all F. Scott Fitzgerald on the coach, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Redskins get embarrassed on and off the field in season finale, and it's now time to begin thinking about the future Dec 31, 2018

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here for their last postgame pod of the season, which serves as a recap for that "colossal turd" of a Week 17 performance as well as a brief look ahead to the future. The three hosts bounce back and forth between small picture things like Josh Johnson's performance and how jarring the crowd was at FedEx Field and big picture things like Jay Gruden and Bruce Allen's future. They also do one more Game Balls and GOATs segment, which Mitch stars in. Next comes some intriguing, behind the scenes stories, including one about Adrian Peterson and what his postgame speech to his teammates was like. Things wrap with some shtick, as Pete tells a somewhat funny and somewhat pathetic story about his trip to an urgent care facility. If you like podcasts where Mitch Tischler becomes D.A. Tischler and JP calls Pete "beautiful," then this is the episode for you. And, because it needs to be said, thanks to all of you who listened throughout the year.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and John Keim are here for one last game preview, so you better be here, too. After hyping up the Jan. 17 Live Redskins Talk Q&A (another place you better be), the four hosts give their percentages for Jay Gruden's return next season. They also ask whether he should be back, as well. That's followed by a similar discussion about Bruce Allen's future in D.C. Is he 100-percent safe? Then, they turn their attention to the Redskins-Eagles finale by going through over/unders (20:02), and the third one is a Tress Way special. Mitch starts a brief tangent on Samaje Perine before they initiate How the Game Will Unfold, and all four guys are expecting it to not exactly end well. Things wrap up with some good shtick, as JP opens up a gift that was sent to the pod. If you like podcasts where Mitch gets really heated over the memory of his least favorite game on the beat and the imporant and underappreciated effect of Alex Smith is re-emphasized, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to cover a few topics and then toss to another incredible interview with Adrian Peterson. Before the RB speaks, though, the three hosts take an extra look at the Redskins' recent decisions and firings. JP doesn't see this as a HUGE deal like others do, and he explains why. They then quickly touch on Vernon Davis' future and hype up the upcoming Live Redskins Talk Podcast Q&A, which includes the grand reveal of the location of Jan. 17's must-attend event. After that, they hand the ball off to JP's 1-on-1 with the legendary Peterson. In the chat, you'll hear No. 26 talk about Washington's future (which he thinks is bright), what kind of vindication he's feeling after a standout 2018 season, how fresh he feels, why he would "love" to be a Redskin again, what he thinks of possibly pairing with Derrius Guice, if it feels crazier in D.C. than other places and how impressed he's been by Washington's fans. If you like podcasts where Mitch accidentally ages JP and Peterson compliments this team's ability to handle adversity, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay has two great interviews for you following that not-so-great loss to the Titans. First, JP traveled out to Ashburn on Sunday for his weekly, exclusive 1-on-1 with Jay Gruden, and in this discussion, Gruden opened up about a lot. Among the things the coach touched on included Josh Johnson's unfortunate fourth quarter interception and what Johnson has meant to him in his brief time with the 'Skins, Adrian Peterson's future in D.C., why he was "not impressed" by DJ Swearinger's postgame comments about Greg Manusky and the scuffle involving Josh Norman. After that, you get JP's postgame 1-on-1 with Chase Roullier, where the young lineman reacts to the emotional loss, too, and gives his thoughts on Peterson cracking the 1,000-yard mark. If you like podcasts where Gruden's Christmas list is revealed and Roullier explains why Peterson's big year is special for him as well, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: The Redskins come up just short in Tennessee and it was pretty heartbreaking Dec 23, 2018

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are coming at you from Tennessee and are pretty distraught, much like you are. To start, JP plays a fitting Johnny Cash song and the guys give their initial reactions, which are basically all sad. After that, they talk about DJ Swearinger's postgame comments regarding Greg Manusky, which were very critical. That leads to a conversation about coaching changes where the hosts wonder if Jay Gruden has done enough to return. Eventually, Game Balls and Goats are handed out, and then they all wonder: Are they being too nice about the loss? Things close out with Mitch talking about the Norman-Lewan scuffle and a brief recap of Pete's hijinks. If you like podcasts where one of the hosts is awarded a very deserved Game Ball and you get tons of Johnny Cash, then this is the episode for you.

Redskins-Titans is basically a playoff game, so let's get you prepared for the important showdown Dec 21, 2018

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have one more podcast for you before Saturday's game in Tennessee, and JP battled through a cold to make it happen so you gotta listen. To start, they look back at some points in the season the 'Skins are probably regretting right about now before looking ahead to what's basically amounting to a postseason game for Washington. While doing that, they take stock of what the team's going to roll with at tight end, offensive line and corner. Is there enough at those spots to produce a win? That leads into over/unders, which is followed by How the Game Unfolds, where just one of the three hosts is feeling a W on the horizon. If you like podcasts where Pete is appointed ambassador of something he's beginning to love and there's a lot to talk about because there's a lot on the line, then this is the episode for you.

A 1-on-1 with Josh Johnson, where the QB touches on his journey, becoming a Redskin and his love for football Dec 20, 2018

He's the guy everyone's talking about, and on this Redskins Talk podcast, he's the guy talking with JP Finlay. Josh Johnson went 1-on-1 with JP on the Thursday before the Titans game, and in their discussion, the two covered a lot. Among the topics: What has stuck with him from the Jacksonville W, how comfortable he feels as the starter, what its been like to reunite with Jay Gruden, what his initial workouts with the 'Skins were like, how there's really nothing that will slow him down from going all out in the Burgundy and Gold and how he used Madden to familiarize himself with Washington's roster. It's all tremendous stuff. If you like podcasts where Johnson gets FIRED UP to talk Madden and you get a real sense of what football means to him, then this is the episode for you.

There's some quick shtick off the top, with the guys talking about their athletic dreams growing up and setting the date for their upcoming, live Q&A podcast that'll be going down in January. The football topics come soon, though, and there's quite a bit of them. To start, they debate the biggest story to come out of Wednesday's time at the Park in Ashburn: Was it Montae Nicholson's arrest, Tony Bergstrom appearing to be close to a return, Colt McCoy showing up or the injuries in the secondary? Everyone has their own take, you can decide who's right. Next, the trio reviews the 'Skins' playoff chances, a discussion that no one thought would be happening until at least 2019. What are the odds of them making the postseason via the division and via the wild card? JP, Mitch and Pete all state their case. Lastly, JP asks listeners to participate in a fun ornament movement before tossing to a cool conversation fittingly on National Signing Day where Trent Williams outlines to Ben Standig what gave him the confidence to eventually become the standout pro football player he is. If you like podcasts where everyone's math is shockingly accurate and Pete reveals what he wanted to be when he grew up, then this is the episode for you.

The good vibes from Sunday continue into this Monday Redskins Talk, which starts off with JP Finlay's cheery and informative 1-on-1 with the head coach. In that interview, Jay Gruden explains the fight his players showed in Jacksonville, describes the traits he loves from Josh Johnson, reflects on if he wishes he went to Johnson sooner, gauges the likelihood of a Colt McCoy return for Week 17 (this part is extra interesting) and goes over the decisions to release Kapri Bibbs and not activate Simmie Cobbs when he could've. Next comes JP's postgame chats with Ryan Kerrigan and Trent Williams, two 'Skins mainstays. You'll hear Kerrigan discuss moving up the franchise's sacks list and Williams show appreciation for Gruden's dedication to the run game.

You get a bunch of Game Balls and a few GOATs after that as well as an over/unders recap.

Addressing it all, from Mason Foster to Zach Brown to Josh Johnson, from a busy Wednesday at Redskins Park Dec 12, 2018

For a 6-7 team, the Redskins sure don't have a shortage of things to talk about, and that's precisely why JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are all here (and for the first time in pod history, all on the phone). To begin, they look at the Mason Foster situation, including Jay Gruden's response to the controversy as well as what Foster's teammates were saying. Is there any excuse for what Foster said? After that, they move on to another 'Skins linebacker, as the hosts react to Zach Brown's comments where he said he expects to leave the 'Skins after the year. How volatile could that get? Then, they transition to yet another starting QB, breaking down what Josh Johnson told the media on Wednesday and how he could influence this team in a more positive way than Mark Sanchez did. If you like podcasts where there's not a lot of holding back, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Breaking down what was one of the most embarrassing and awful games the Redskins have played in years Dec 10, 2018

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were at a loss for words, much like you probably were, but did their best to find enough words for this postgame Redskins Talk following the team's blowout L against the Giants. They get right to it, wondering how this defense continues to regress and how this team could turn in a game like that when they were still technically in the mix for the postseason. They also dissect what was said at the podium and in the locker room and try to discern whether the players are at odds with the coaches. Eventually, they get to Game Balls and Goats, and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out which part of that segment runs longer. After, there's more discussion about the debacle and some questioning about whether anyone will lose their jobs over this. If you like podcasts where there's an extended period of sighing between the hosts and things close out with a fitting song, then this is the episode for you.

Interviewing a salary cap expert about the (lack of?) options the Redskins have with Alex Smith's contract Dec 06, 2018

With reports starting to come out about Alex Smith's recovery from surgery taking a turn, JP Finlay felt the need to get a salary cap expert on the phone to look at what kind of options the Redskins have when it comes to the QB's contract. So, after an intro from JP where he gives you the latest about what's going on with Smith, he brings on Joel Corry — a former NFL agent — to look at the numbers. In their chat, you'll hear Corry break down the structure of the deal Smith has with the' Skins, give the most realistic year the franchise could part ways with him if they need to and explain why they'll need to draft a rookie passer in 2019. If you like podcasts where a complicated topic is broken down by someone who's incredibly knowledgeable about said topic, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to try and walk you through what was a loss in many ways on Monday night vs. the Eagles.

Eventually they move onto Game Balls and Goats, handing out plenty of the latter. They wrap with a recap of over/unders and more general sighing. If you like podcasts where Pete gets oddly aggressive and the hosts get very excited about the thought of drinking at the Pod Party, then this is the episode for you.

EMERGENCY POD: Trying to process and break down the highly-controversial Reuben Foster news Nov 28, 2018

Tuesday became a two-pods-for-the-price-of-one day for Redskins Talk listeners once the 'Skins claimed Reuben Foster off waivers. So, once that broke, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got together for an Emergency Pod. In it, they do their best to look at the acquisition from all angles, both on and off the field. And there's plenty of angles. What potential does this have for success? What potential does this have to be a failure? Could the Alabama players help him out? When could he possibly play? All of that, plus plenty of other points, are made throughout the discussion. In the end, the hosts are skeptical of the claim. Now, listen for yourself and make up your own mind.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey hit the podcast studio in Bethesda for this edition of Redskins Talk, which starts out with Mitch addressing fans who think the season is over.

Next, you'll get a final tally on the over/unders, which fortunately didn't end in a tie. COOL THING ALERT: Once the four hosts wrap, you'll hear Josh Norman's appearance on Redskins Postgame Live, where he and DeAngelo Hall were able to talk man-to-man after their interesting past few days.

Get your weekend started off right with this fresh Redskins Talk.

If you like podcasts where Tandler brings up the fact he once wore bell bottoms and you get to hear how mature Jonathan Allen is, then this is the episode for you.

Running through ALL of the injuries, giving Josh Norman some credit and setting Carolina over/unders Oct 11, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and John Keim (filling in for TV Pete) took shelter from some serious Ashburn weather to deliver this Redskins Talk. First, the guys run through the injuries on both sides of the ball, and have discussions on why Shawn Lauvao being a participant in practice matters more than you'd think and whether Brandon Scherff is more hurt than he's letting on. Then, they address the Josh Norman situation a little further, with a few hosts actually giving the corner credit for some things in what's been an otherwise tough week. And finally, the gang picks and sets over/unders, a segment that includes a battle on the number of Adrian Peterson rush yards and plenty of fantastic fan submissions for the wild card category. If you like podcasts where rain is present in the background for most of the action and JP sends a strong, Norman-inspired one-liner toward Tandler, then this is the episode for you.

"They ain't for real": Immediate reactions to the Redskins' disastrous Monday night performance vs. the Saints Oct 09, 2018

The opening to this podcast may go down as the most memorable in the history of the show, thanks to great work by JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler and some very NOT great work by the Redskins. Where do they begin after that AWFUL performance vs. New Orleans? After a bunch of curse words and sound effects, they dive in to the mess. In the pod, you'll hear everything, from some questions about whether Jay Gruden is the right man for the job to a ton of criticism for the 'Skins' idiotic penalties to thoughts on the benching of Josh Norman. The hosts also go through a Game Balls and Goats segment that's much heavier on one category than it is on the other. They then recap their over/unders, which featured a funky ending yet again. Overall, the game was a tragedy but you still need to digest it with Redskins Talk. If you like podcasts where Mitch tells JP that no one cares about his ankle and Tandler goes real deep into how many La-Z-Boys he has, then this is the episode for you.

A fantastic 1-on-1 interview with Adrian Peterson and projecting how Monday night's showdown will unfold Oct 07, 2018

Your Redskins-less Sunday just got better, thanks to JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and John Keim. Before getting to an excellent interview with Adrian Peterson, the guys participate in their new "How the Game Will Unfold" segment, as each tries to imagine what will take place in New Orleans on Monday. They also take sides on over/unders, and it becomes clear that no one can really agree when or even if Drew Brees is going to break the passing yardage record against the 'Skins. Then comes JP's sitdown with Peterson. In their chat, you'll hear the running back reflect on his whirlwind journey with the Burgundy and Gold thus far, bring up some lofty goals and explain where his ridiculous handshake came from. If you like podcasts where Tandler is at his best when it comes to making unnecessary and unfair clarifications and Peterson addresses the people who question whether he can keep up his production all 2018, then this is the episode for you.

How much would Doctson being inactive matter? Plus the setting of over/unders and the final bye week rankings Oct 05, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and John "I only show up on Fridays" Keim have lots of football and lots of shtick for you to start your weekend. To open up this Redskins Talk, the four discuss Josh Doctson being in a walking boot and how much his absence would really affect the offense on Monday night. Another injury chat follows, this one about Trent Williams, which leads to a bold bet made by Tandler. Next, Tandler does his weekly inactives projection, but this edition of that segment is particularly boring and slow. Listen anyways, though. After that comes the setting of Week 5 over/unders, including an interesting one regarding Drew Brees' pursuit of history. And lastly, the hosts revisit each other's bye weeks and put out the final rankings of who had the best one. Let's just say Pete isn't the winner. If you like podcasts where Tandler's got his shades on and everyone's bye weeks are compared to college football bowl games, then this is the episode for you.

An update on Josh Doctson's heel and another installment of the oral history of 1991 featuring Earnest Byner Oct 04, 2018

It takes just two to tango on this episode of Redskins Talk, as JP Finlay and Rich Tandler lead the action together after Thursday's practice. The guys give listeners an update on Josh Doctson's heel, as the mystery at least becomes a tiny bit clearer, and also try to figure out if Adrian Peterson playing Monday is truly a lock. Also in this episode is the second installment of JP's look back at the magical 1991 season, and this one features Earnest Byner. What does the 'Skins running back remember about that team and that run to the Super Bowl? If you like podcasts where JP gets offended that people thinks he drinks too much alcohol and Byner tells some incredible stories about arguably the best team in the history of the sport, then this is the episode for you.

Trying to make sense of Josh Doctson's interesting Wednesday and taking an early look at the test vs. the Saints Oct 03, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey gathered 'round the picnic table in Ashburn to bring you this packed pod. First, the three guys give the necessary injury updates, checking up on Adrian Peterson, Trent Williams and Josh Doctson, who had an interesting Wednesday. The receiver was missing for at least part of practice and afterward, Jay Gruden delayed giving an update until Thursday. What's that all mean? Following that, JP gets the hosts talking about Mack Brown's return and what it could mean about Peterson's status the rest of the way. Next, they start to look ahead to Monday's showdown vs. the Saints, discussing how much a win would improve their perception around the league, before Tandler brings up a couple of topics regarding Washington's standing in the NFL through their first three games. If you like podcasts where an amazing, new Redskins Talk measuring stick is invented and Tandler refuses to do anything even remotely nice for Pete's birthday, then this is the episode for you.

All those questions and more are answered in that segment. And finally, the action wraps up with Tandler defending himself from all the haters who think he's not tech-savvy, which is a very fun few minutes.

Here's a Redskins Talk installment that perfectly blends football and shtick. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey are your guides for the action and they welcome regular guest John Keim on to join them for the proceedings. First, the four each choose a player to watch on the 'Skins once they return from the bye (JP, of course, doesn't exactly abide by the "one player" designation). Players listed include Vernon Davis and Montae Nicholson. Then, they each explain what they're doing on their bye weeks and ask around for rankings on who's doing the bye week right. As you can imagine, everyone's handling the time off VERY differently, so there's some fun discussion and jabs here. And finally...no, sorry, and FINALLY... you get to hear the legendary interview with Mitch Tischler, as the big man checks in from Germany and Oktoberfest. It doesn't get much better than this segment, guys, so listen to it once and then listen to it again.

Talking important NFL issues with the NFLPA's DeMaurice Smith and choosing the team's surprises and disappointments Sep 26, 2018

This is a neat little episode of Redskins Talk for those of you itching for content on the bye. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey briefly welcome you in before tossing to JP and Rich's chat with the Executive Director of the NFLPA DeMaurice Smith. Smith is about as sharp as a guest as Redskins Talk as ever had, and he's willing to answer questions on the roughing the passer calls that are plaguing the league, player safety as a whole and how the NFL views marijuana vs. painkillers. After that strong interview, the three hosts debate the Redskins' biggest surprise player and biggest disappointment player through three weeks of the season. Who makes the good list and who finds themselves on the not-so-good-list? If you like podcasts where Tandler gets screwed by traffic before an interview he set up and the guys do their best to treat the bye like the midway point of the season even though it's certainly not, this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey are your hosts for this Redskins Talk, with JP and Pete hanging in the studio and Tandler out in Ashburn...at the picnic table...by himself.

Next, the guys set their Week 3 over/unders, which includes a fantastic segment where they read ALL of the suggestions they got from listeners. Some were solid but most were terrible.

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were in Ashburn for Wednesday's practice and then got together to give you this lovely pod. Unfortunately, most of it has to do with injuries, as Paul Richardson is now apparently dealing with an additional issue while Shawn Lauvao is likely to miss some time as well. Are the Redskins already hanging by a thread? The guys also explain how much to expect from the two new wideouts and then debate whether the Packers game is a full on must-win.

Reacting to the Floyd and Perriman signings. Would Dez or Gordon have been better ideas? Sep 18, 2018

Tuesday was supposed to be an off day, but with all these receiver moves happening, JP Finlay decided to corral Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey to break down what's going on at that position. After promoting this Sunday's second-ever Redskins Talk Podcast Tailgate at FedEx Field, the guys give their reactions to the signings of Michael Floyd and Breshad Perriman. Should they have pursued Dez Bryant or Josh Gordon instead? One host believes Gordon should've been the target. Other side discussions include what parts of this roster all this WR shuffling will affect most and the level of concern about this part of the offense just two weeks in. If you like podcasts were Pete uses the word "onomatopoeia" correctly and Mitch gets a little too much enjoyment from almost running a cohost over earlier in the day, then this is the episode for you.

Also, Pete is in a weird mood the entire time.

A big-time announcement, picking Week 1 over/unders and a 1-on-1 with DJ Swearinger Sep 06, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, and Mitch Tischler are again in car talking 'Skins, which means it's again time for you to listen to them talking 'Skins. After informing listeners that the Redskins Talk podcast survivor pool is LIVE (and you should join it on NFL.com) JP makes ANOTHER big podcast announcement. Mitch then reintroduces the over/unders for Week 1 and JP and Tandler make their picks. Finally, the guys toss to JP's 1 on 1 with DJ Swearinger, who has some intriguing things to say about the secondary and the amount the team played in the preseason. If you like podcasts where Tandler does a projection of the freakin' inactive list and Mitch reveals that someone made a mess in his car during yesterday's pod, this is the episode for you.

Week 1 injury news you must know, a strong 1-on-1 with Preston Smith and JP's beer rant Sep 05, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Ajay Atayee (who's not in the trunk this time) hopped into Mitch's car for this very fun edition of Redskins Talk. The guys open things up by telling you some GREAT injury news about two very crucial Redskins players before eventually transitioning into one mysterious injury storyline that no one really gets as of now. After that, they move into setting their first three over/unders of the season, a tradition that new listeners will enjoy and old listeners will recognize. Then a special treat arrives in the form of a long Preston Smith interview (18:01), where the pass rusher and JP look ahead to the 2018 season, talk about Smith owning Sam Bradford and kick around Tandler possibly being his publicist. If you like podcasts where JP complains a TON about things such as the AC in Mitch's car as well as a beer-related issue (28:50) (which eventually turns into everyone complaining about the beer-related issue), then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey piled into the Mobile Podcast Studio for this podcast, most of which is spent breaking down the team's decision to get rid of Anthony Lanier and add Caleb Brantley. Why did the team choose to move on from a player who looked like he was on the rise? You'll get that answer from the hosts, as well as the background info on Brantley. Also included in the action: a reminder about the upcoming podcast tailgate and a preview of the week to come.

The 53-man roster reaction pod: What do we think of the 2018 Redskins at this moment? Sep 02, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and John Keim sat in the hot sun for this installment of Redskins Talk so you better listen to every second of it. The main objective of this episode is to react to the team's 53-man roster as its currently constructed (it certainly could change, by the way). Who were the most surprising cuts and why were those decisions made? You'll get plenty of insight into those questions. The four hosts also look forward, as they agree on the position group they're most concerned about and talk about a few guys such as Josh Doctson who need to really step up starting Week 1. For the shtick crowd, you'll enjoy the part where Pete drinks Tandler's water and John's usual needling of Rich. If you like podcasts where Tandler puts on baller shades and transforms into a badass and JP presents a Junior Galette conspiracy theory, then this is the episode for you.

Breaking down the Redskins-Ravens preseason finale and what the 53-man roster will look like Aug 31, 2018

From an "undisclosed location" in M&T Bank Stadium, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler are here to wrap up the preseason. The three hosts spend much of the pod giving their final projections for the tight races at running back, receiver and linebacker. Questions they pose include whether Samaje Perine's fumble vs. the Ravens cost him a spot on the team and how Maurice Harris' murky health situation is affecting the depth chart on the outside. They also run through their game balls and goats segment, shouting out Rob Kelley and calling out the 'Skins' tackling. And finally, you'll hear JP's 1-on-1s with Trey Quinn and Pete Robertson, both of which are very interesting. If you like podcasts where Tandler and JP sing some strange old songs and Quinn goes really in-depth on his celebration habits, then this is the episode for you.

A key thing to remember about the final preseason game and two 1-on-1s with young defenders Aug 28, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey piled into the mobile podcast studio to enjoy its glorious AC and bring you quality Redskins insight. Things kick off with the guys reminding listeners and fans a critical thing about the fourth preseason game that you need to remember. They then run through the roster and try to determine just how many jobs are still up for grabs. Eventually, JP tosses to two interviews; one with Troy Apke and another with Jerod Fernandez. How is Apke planning on bouncing back from a rough Denver game and what's it like for Fernandez as he tries to scratch and claw his way onto the 53? Finally, the pod wraps with JP and Rich offering up some incentive to those of you who haven't followed @RedskinsTalkPod on Instagram yet. If you like podcasts where the wacky "Hi Tandler" bit continues and Pete botches the year Tandler graduated from high school, then this is the episode for you.

A sneaky player to watch, an argument against AP and a 1-on-1 with Adonis Alexander Aug 27, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler bring you this pod from the interview room at Redskins Park and start off by looking at the injuries that Colt McCoy, Zach Brown, Josh Norman, Chris Thompson and Jordan Reed are dealing with. Are any of them a big deal? They then move into a discussion on a surprise guy who *might* steal a spot on the roster and become a really awesome storyline if so. After, JP tosses to an interview with Warren Sharp, an analyst who is mega-intelligent about football (13:44). Be sure to listen as Sharp breaks down why 'Skins fans should maybe chill out when it comes to the Adrian Peterson excitement. And finally, JP goes 1-on-1 with Adonis Alexander (23:33) and asks the rookie corner to grade his debut and where he likes to play in the secondary. If you like podcasts where Tandler says hi to himself and you get to hear from one of the more intriguing prospects on the roster, then this is the episode for you.

Recapping the good (Adrian Peterson) and the BAD (basically everything else) from the Redskins-Broncos dress rehearsal Aug 25, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler recorded this postgame podcast from the sidelines of FedEx Field, so please excuse the constant lawn-mowing/grass-blowing sounds in the background. The opening section of the episode is heavy on Adrian Peterson, who was the lone bright spot in an otherwise dreadful performance by the 'Skins. Is it time to adjust expectations for No. 26 already? After the Peterson praise, the hosts move on to the rest of Washington's roster and look at everything from Alex Smith's lackluster effort to Troy Apke's night to forget. If you like podcasts where two out of three Redskins Talkers aren't wearing shoes and JP gives out half game-balls in an effort to find something to celebrate, then this is the episode for you.

Making observations from Adrian Peterson's first day as a Redskin and dissecting all that was said about the RB Aug 21, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were all in attendance for what is now being deemed "Adrian Peterson Day" and are here to tell you all about it. From the picnic table in Ashburn, the four go through what they (briefly) saw from him on the field and also run through all that was said about the RB at the podium. From Jay Gruden calling him a "physical freak" to Doug Williams' thoughts on the former MVP to AP saying he intends to be the starter, there's a lot to parse through. There's also some non-Peterson nuggets in the pod, too, from JP catching up with Cam Sims to a funny Colt McCoy story courtesy of Mitch.

Making sense of Adrian Peterson's reported visit and the shifting RB situation, plus discussing how crucial Week 1 is Aug 19, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and pod favorite John Keim got together at the picnic table in Ashburn for this all-encompassing and strong episode of Redskins Talk. The first of many topics is the team's messy running back situation, with the hosts covering all of the free agent visits that are being reported and whether or not fans should expect a guy like Adrian Peterson to actually sign. Next is a conversation on Jamison Crowder and Josh Harvey-Clemons, two guys who have missed a decent chunk of practice time this offseason and who are slated to play vital roles in 2018. You'll also be treated to a talk about how important a Week 1 win is as well as an all-over installment of "One Thing." Finally, things wrap with JP presenting a Pete theory that is immediately proven correct and the Redskins Talkers putting a percentage on the 'Skins' chances to win a playoff game. If you like podcasts where Keim fights through a weird mic issue to contribute solid content and a large amount of one-to-ten scales are used, then this is the episode for you.

Redskins-Jets preseason recap: This D-line looks LEGIT, and are Sims and Bibbs making pushes for the 53? Aug 17, 2018

For the FIRST time in 2018, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler recorded a post-victory podcast (yeah, it's preseason, but don't be so technical) and it's ready for you to enjoy. And, even though a 15-13 exhibition game sounds very boring, this episode is anything but. The receivers dominate the early portion of this recap, as the hosts wonder if Trey Quinn is at fault for his failed end zone connection with Alex Smith and also evaluate whether Cam Sims is primed to overtake Brian Quick. Eventually, though, as he usually does, Mitch steers things toward the BIG men and gushes over Daron Payne, Jonathan Allen and the rest of the 'Skins' defensive line. In fact, he even makes a bold proclamation about that specific unit. In the Game Balls and Goats segment, JP, Rich and Mitch hype up Kapri Bibbs (another riser) but don't give as much love to the NYJ LB who blasted Colt McCoy. Plus, stick around for the end as JP exclusively interviews both Sims & Bibbs postgame. If you like podcasts where JP and Tandler find a way to argue about whether there's an MRI machine at FedEx Field and Tandler also gets super grumpy about Dustin Hopkins receiving a game ball, then this is the episode for you.

Training Camp, Final Day: Recapping Swearinger punking Pryor, the stars of Richmond and a Tomsula 1-on-1 Aug 14, 2018

It's time for the guys to get the F out of Richmond. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are fired up to give you one last Redskins Talk to close out camp. The start of the episode is devoted to DJ Swearinger going after Terrelle Pryor, which was quite a scene. The hosts also trade in their "One Thing" segment for "One Player," and each pick their biggest standout from the action in Richmond. Then you have a real special treat, as JP goes 1-on-1 with Jim Tomsula and asks the defensive line coach all about his young, talented unit. If you like podcasts where Tomsula also heaps praise on Jordan Reed and everyone is just delirious from working a million straight days at camp, then this is the episode for you.

In this recap of the session, you'll get plenty of O-line notes — from the guys appreciating Trent Williams to Pete focusing in on Chase Roullier — as well as praise for the first team offense as a whole. You'll also hear JP's interview with Williams, as No. 71 goes in depth on Alex Smith, Preston Smith and plenty of other topics including his status for Week 1. If you like podcasts where you hear about more successful read options and Washington's blockers standing up New York's pass rushers, then this is the episode for you.

Training Camp, Day 15: The Fight Pod — Breaking down the Redskins-Jets brawls in Richmond Aug 12, 2018

The Redskins Talk crew witnessed the fights at 'Skins camp and are here to tell you all about them. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey congregated in Pete's hotel room for this edition of the podcast and spend a good chunk of it breaking down the Washington-New York brawls in Richmond. How'd it happen, who was involved and will there be more? Everyone wants to hear about the scrap, so you'll hear plenty about the scrap. Eventually, after recapping the melee, they do move on to analyze the football portion of the joint session. There's more Derrius Guice conversation — including making a list about which players would hurt the team more with a season-ending injury — as well as a debate about whether Rob Kelley will reach 1,000 yards in 2018. And finally, you'll hear Kelley talk to JP, as the running back breaks down his role in the offense and what he thought about the fight. If you like podcasts with higher energy than usual, then this is the episode for you.

Everyone is back in the tent for this podcast, with JP Finlay leading the way and Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey riding along with him. In the episode, the guys discuss what looks like another season-ending injury to a skill player and how that affects the team's fortunes before diving deep into a Derrius Guice conversation. They recap how players like Chris Thompson and Rob Kelley took the news and, later, try to convince (by yelling a lot) Pete that the running back situation will still be productive without him. You'll also hear JP's sit-down interview with safety DJ Swearinger, as the defensive leader talks about his relationship with Montae Nicholson and how people are sleeping on the 'Skins. If you like podcasts where Mitch tells a fantastic Daron Payne story and JP gets on Tandler for forgetting his iPad, this is the episode for you.

In the saddest Emergency Pod to date, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey break down everything they can in the aftermath of the Derrius Guice torn ACL news. First, they explain how we got here, with JP, Rich and Mitch sharing various nuggets they picked up while at the game in New England that relate to Guice. Then, the hosts look at what the team could do to fill Guice's spot, whether that be a trade or a free agency signing. Do they expect them to make an aggressive move or stand pat? It's a lot of information in a short amount of time, and it absolutely a must-listen for 'Skins fans trying to deal with the news.

Since you made it through the NFL offseason, you deserve a BONUS POD.

Here is your first postgame recap podcast of 2018, courtesy of JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler, who are coming at you from New England. The three hosts open the pod by reviewing the injuries that happened in the exhibition opener and explaining how each player looked and sounded in the postgame locker room afterward. After that, they hold their first Game Balls and Goats segment of the season, in which they give props to players who stood out and also make not of guys who didn't. In that portion of the action, you'll hear insight on everyone from Colt McCoy to Samaje Perine and even Kyle Kalis, because Redskins Talk gives insight on EVERYONE. If you like podcasts where Rich uses the phrase "ocean of sloppiness" and JP is mature enough to label one of his favorites a preseason Week 1 goat, then this is the episode for you.

The first-ever Redskins Talk Roster Projection Pod: Who will be the 53 players to make this team? Aug 07, 2018

Instead of recapping Tuesday's lighter practice, JP Finlay came up with a different idea to execute along with Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey: a roster projection episode. So, you'll hear the guys go through the offense, defense and special teams (that's Pete's specialty) and pick the 53 players who will make the Redskins going into Week 1. Of course, things will change — injuries will happen and no one's stock has risen or dropped in preseason games yet. But this is their projection based on RIGHT NOW. Who'll be the final receiver? Who'll be the final running back? What's the number of linemen they'll keep on both sides? And are there any spots where they'll have to go heavy or light? All of that and more is discussed, so enjoy it. If you like podcasts where things are actually somewhat organized and Mitch gets uncomfortable with the amount of times he agrees with Pete, then this is the episode for you.

Training Camp, Day 13: How is Jordan Reed progressing? Plus, 1-on-1 with Vernon Davis and Preston Smith Mic'd Up Aug 06, 2018

A surprise rain storm tried to throw off Redskins Talk, but thanks to some quick thinking by Mitch Tischler, he, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey found a backup room to record this chapter of the pod. Because of that, though, this is a bit of an accelerated episode. Things open up with the guys taking a look at two of the team's cornerstones in Jordan Reed and Trent Williams. How are each looking and should they play vs. New England in the preseason opener? Next, each host gives their "one thing," which include thoughts on Geron Christian and this insane Richmond heat. After that, they toss to JP's 1-on-1 with Vernon Davis, who talks about his ridiculous body fat stats, how he checks up on Jordan Reed often and what he thought when he first heard he was reuniting with Alex Smith. And after that, we're trying something new. Mitch has been shooting Mic'd Up segments at camp, so once Davis wraps up, you'll get a chance to hear one featuring Preston Smith. The full video is available on nbcsportswashington.com, but let us know how you like hearing it at the end of Redskins Talk, too. If you like podcasts where there's minimal shtick (except for the part about Tandler's iPad overheating again) then this is the episode for you.

Training Camp, Day 12: Observations on the RBs and Sprinkle, a 1-on-1 with Derrius Guice and the debut of the "Lost Pod" Aug 05, 2018

There is a LOT going on in this podcast, so let's divide it into three parts. The first part is the usual recap of practice, as JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey look at all that happened on Sunday in Richmond. How many RBs will the team keep, what's going on with Josh Doctson and how is Jeremy Sprinkle developing? Those football topics and more are covered, and then the hosts take some time to bask in the glory of yet another successful Podcast Party. Thank you all for coming out and hanging with us, it was a BLAST. The second part of the episode is JP's 1-on-1 with Derrius Guice, in which JP asks the rookie RB how he's adjusting to life as a pro, whether he feels he must start in Week 1 and what his message to the fans would be. And finally, the third part is what we're calling the Lost/Forgotten Pod, which was recorded after Saturday's Fan Appreciation Day practice but was left by Pete at the facility, meaning it couldn't get posted until now. In that portion of things, you'll hear about a big day from Rob Kelley and a less-than-stellar day from Alex Smith. If you like podcasts where Mitch describes a massive hit by Ryan Anderson and a bunch of you get shoutouts, then this is the episode for you.

Training camp, Day 10: Answering fan questions and getting hyped for the Podcast Party Aug 03, 2018

The Redskins are taking an off day but the Redskins Talk crew is too addicted to podcasting to do so as well. So that means it's BONUS PODCAST O'CLOCK. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey recorded this one from Pete's hotel room and had some fun with it. First, because of the listeners' effort, the guys crossed the 350-review mark, meaning they have to wear bolos to August 4th's Podcast Party. So, they open one up live on the pod and celebrate the accomplishment. Then, it's football time. Before the episode, the hosts asked fans to submit questions then they each chose one to read on air. Rich's deals with trying to find a trade-able Redskin, Pete talks about Mo Harris and Anthony Lanier, Mitch has an interesting one regarding two linebackers and JP evaluates the best road game on the schedule. Lastly, JP and Co. hype up the Podcast Party, which'll be at the Matchbox in Short Pump (YOU SHOULD COME). If you like podcasts where Tandler gets riled up about the difference between a raffle and a random drawing and the giveaways for the party are revealed, then this is the episode for you.

Training camp, Day 9: Updates on the CBs, Ryan Anderson and Maurice Harris, then JP goes 1-on-1 with Jordan Reed Aug 02, 2018

It's a special day on Redskins Talk, because our bud Jackson brought the second-ever Redskins Talk-themed sign to training camp. So, Jackson got to join JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey for this episode of the podcast. Practice was a bit lighter than usual today, with the backups getting more reps than the starters. Therefore, the hosts bounce around (more than they normally do, at least) and cover all sorts of things. Included: A chat about Trey Quinn's not-so-strong performance, more Maurice Harris hype, a nugget from JP on a sneaky cornerback, a note about Brian Quick on special teams and the usual "one thing" segment, which features a look at Josh Norman and Ryan Anderson. You'll also hear a cameo by NBC Sports Washington's Julie Donaldson and a story about JP almost getting destroyed by Mitch. And finally, today's interview is held with Jordan Reed, and JP asks the tight end just how much work he puts into his conditioning and about his growing bond with Alex Smith. If you like podcasts where Tandler's Millennial Meter starts going off and a hypothetical on what Mitch's first phone call from jail would be like is floated around, then this is the episode for you.

The DeAngelo Hall episode: The now-retired Redskin joins to tell some fantastic stories and reflect on his career Aug 01, 2018

When DeAngelo Hall first walked into the Redskins Talk podcast tent, the plan was for the interview to run at the start of a regular pod. But Hall was so willing to talk and so interesting that we just had to make the conversation its own episode. The 'Skins legend, who officially retired in Richmond, offers up all types of amazing stories, from a recap of some of his scoop-and-scores to the time he said he was going to be Pro Bowl MVP and then, well, became Pro Bowl MVP. He also gets serious and explains why he's choosing to retire now. If you like podcasts where one of the best players for the franchise from the past decade takes the mic and just goes on unfiltered, then this is the episode for you.

Training camp, Day 8: Paul Richardson steps up big-time and JP has an intriguing 1-on-1 chat with Alex Smith Aug 01, 2018

Coming at you from the famous tent in Richmond is another Redskins Talk episode with JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey. The first football topic covered in this one is Josh Doctson, who left at the end of practice with a shoulder injury. The extent of the injury hadn't been released at the time of the recording, but the guys still are able to describe how it happened and then look at how his potential absence could affect the wide receiver race as a whole. After, everyone gives their "one thing," which for Mitch was basically every single thing that makes him happy — a spotting of Ty Nsekhe at guard and a Kenny Landler interception, both of which happened right after each other. Tandler, meanwhile, looks at Paul Richardson's excellent day, while Pete gives his take on a rookie who has yet to show much promise. The hosts then toss to JP's 1-on-1 with Alex Smith, which is fully of juicy stuff, from how much he loves running the read-option to a really good question from JP about Kirk Cousins. If you like podcasts where Tandler hums the Rocky theme song and Smith gets really honest about a lot of topics, then this is the episode for you.

Training camp, Day 7: Taking a close look at the crowded receiver battle, plus JP sits down with Jonathan Allen Jul 31, 2018

The Redskins returned to the practice field on July 31, so the Redskins Talk podcast has returned to recapping the sights and sounds from Richmond in this installment. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get things started by quickly thanking the listeners for helping them set another record before kicking the football things off with a conversation about Ty Nsekhe's health and potential move to guard. Will Mitch ever get to see it happen? Following that, they briefly focus on the linebacker spot and wonder if Martrell Spaight's days are numbered in D.C. That is followed by a really long chat about the receivers, as the four try to figure out who the heck is going to make the team behind the three top targets. Pete, for one, believes Trey Quinn is already safe, a claim that's met by plenty of pushback (like always) by the others. JP, for example, wants to see Quinn make a difference on special teams before he feels good about placing him on the final 53 (or 54, since it's JP). Finally, as usual, they go around to speak about their "one thing" from the session before tossing to JP's interview with Jonathan Allen. In that back-and-forth, Allen explains how his defense can become the "badasses" he wants them to be and scouts Daron Payne, too. If you like podcasts where JP announces when the season's tailgate party will be and Allen goes in on how much he loves freeing up others to make plays, then this is the episode for you.

Training camp, Day 6: Trey Quinn talks Fortnite, Montae Nicholson talks Year 2 and the hosts talk Jamison Crowder Jul 30, 2018

BONUS PODCAST TIME. We said we'd give you a new pod every day of practice, but even on an off day, we're giving you more content. Special guests Craig Hoffman of 106.7 The Fan and Kareem Copeland of the Washington Post join JP Finlay for this one, which opens up with two 1-on-1 interviews. First up is Pete's talk with Trey Quinn, where the two get super nerdy and go all in on Fortnite. How long did it take Trey to become the Fortnite beast that he is and does he play with other 'Skins teammates? He's got some strong one-liners on those questions and more. Then, Tandler catches up with Montae Nicholson, as the second-year safety lets Tandler in on how he's planning to avoid injuries and why keeping an underdog mentality is so crucial to him. After those segments, JP, Craig and Kareem discuss how nicely Alex Smith and Jamison Crowder's connection is developing and what to expect from Crowder in 2018. They also examine the team's improved depth and their plans for the off day. If you like podcasts where JP's ankle randomly pops yet again and Brandon Scherff's greatness is brought up, then this is the episode for you.

Training camp, Day 5: Recapping the best, most intense practice so far, and a 1-on-1 talk with Ryan Kerrigan Jul 29, 2018

Now THAT was a good session of football. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey found Sunday's practice in Richmond to be the best one of training camp thus far and they are here to talk about it. This installment kicks off with praise for the offense, especially Alex Smith, who was really, really dialed in. You'll also hear conversations about both Josh Harvey Clemons and Byron Marshall, two players who are opening eyes in Richmond. JP has an interesting theory about JHC in particular, so make sure to listen to that. The guys then give their daily takeaway, which includes Rich bringing up Mo Harris (again) and Mitch talking up Derrius Guice's hunger for learning. Smaller but still important topics mentioned as well are Vernon Davis' lack of body fat and Kenny Ladler's performance, and the action wraps with JP interviewing Ryan Kerrigan. Kerrigan's got good opinions on not being ranked on the NFL's Top 100 list, Greg Manusky's scooter and his own up-and-down golf game. If you like podcasts where Mitch calls out JP for being a bad guy and Kerrigan picks one word to describe teammates like Preston Smith and Josh Norman, then this is the episode for you.

Training camp, Day 4: Players are seeing differences between Alex and Kirk, plus Chris Thompson evaluates Derrius Guice Jul 28, 2018

A whopping studio audience of three people joined JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey for this edition of Redskins Talk from Richmond, which comes to you after the first padded practice of 2018's camp. The first topic addressed is a tough one, as the guys break down Daron Payne's injury and discuss how big of a deal it is for him to miss a few weeks because of it. Then, they review Josh Doctson's media session, including him talking about his health following his MRI and one really interesting difference he sees between Alex Smith and Kirk Cousins. That leads nicely into JP's chat with Chris Thompson, another guy who is noticing how the team's new QB operates compared to the team's old one. Be sure to pay attention to those really cool details from Thompson, as well as his one word to describe Derrius Guice. Once the Thompson interview wraps, each host gives his daily takeaway, which includes notes on Robert Davis vs. Maurice Harris and a nice performance by Fabian Moreau. And finally, they break down a strange night they had in the city, which featured Pete getting owned by a stingy karaoke operator. If you like podcasts where you get incredible insight into how Smith acts as a leader and a passer and Pete botches the artist of Tandler's all-time favorite song, then this is the episode for you.

Training camp, Day 3: Notes on DJ Swearinger, Phil Taylor and Daron Payne, plus a sit-down interview with Paul Richardson Jul 27, 2018

This is a very, very special edition of Redskins Talk, because everyone FINALLY has their own microphone. It only took 250+ episodes for that to happen, which is super efficient. Regardless, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are all able to chime in on things now, and there was plenty to talk about after the team's second day of practice in Richmond. First, there's the injury updates: How did Zach Brown look and what's up with Daron Payne and Ryan Anderson? Then, the guys run a quick interview featuring our guy Nick, who made history today by bringing the first ever Redskins Talk-themed sign to training camp. After that, a Phil Taylor/Ziggy Hood discussion starts up, with JP wondering whether Taylor could make the squad over Hood. Eventually, JP provides another piece to the puzzle of his insane shoeless breakfast story from Day 2, everyone provides a key takeaway from the on-field action and also briefly touch on Colt McCoy's new deal. This chapter then wraps up with JP's 1-on-1 interview with Paul Richardson, where the wideout explains why having a No. 1 target isn't necessary and delves deeper into plenty of other topics. If you like podcasts where the mic-stealing is non-existent and Richardson explains why Jay Gruden is "special," then this is the episode for you.

Training camp, Day 2: Jordan Reed and Josh Doctson look healthy, and JP goes 1-on-1 with Josh Norman Jul 26, 2018

"Football happened on a field," JP Finlay says at the start of this pod after the 'Skins first day of camp. And he's correct, which means there's plenty for him, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey to chat about. So let's get to it. First, the guys provide an update on the newly-injured Zach Brown (don't worry about it too much - yet) and also review Josh Doctson's productive first day after all the stressing over his health. Then, they evaluate Jordan Reed, who is starting to look like himself again. Next is a discussion on a big statement made by Jonathan Allen and how the 'Skins need an attitude shift on defense. More analysis follows that, including a guest appearance by Larry Michael and an introduction to one little-known DB who may just be worth watching. Finally, JP tells a totally absurd story about something that happened at breakfast, the other three hosts confront Tandler about a weird thing he did on Day 1 and, most importantly, things wrap up with JP's fun, insightful 1-on-1 interview with Josh Norman. If you like podcasts where JP's ankle randomly pops despite the fact that he's sitting down and other people besides Mitch talk about big men, then this is the episode for you.

Training camp, Day 1: What's up with Josh Doctson's health and these soggy Richmond fields? Jul 25, 2018

Richmond, good to see you again. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey all made it down to Redskins training camp, checked out Jay Gruden's first press conference and then recorded this very pod, the first of many to come during camp. After quickly discussing the players who are starting on the PUP list, the group jumps into a discussion on Josh Doctson's precautionary MRI, an MRI that is causing plenty of concern. While it could end up being nothing, right now, it's worrisome, and the hosts explain why. Next, they go around the table to each identify an additional takeaway from Gruden's lengthy chat with the media, from Ty Nsekhe to Jay's attitude in Richmond. And finally, the installment wraps up with a discussion on the weather and how that could really negatively affect the proceedings in Richmond. As JP says during the recording, "It's gonna be a show." If you like podcasts where things get back to the nitty gritty details of 'Skins football, then this episode (and the rest of the daily episodes) is the one for you.

Let's get really excited about the fact that the Redskins are about to open 2018 training camp down in Richmond Jul 24, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here for this Richmond preview podcast and are all FIRED UP to be heading to training camp soon. So, to capture that excitement and look ahead to all that camp will have to offer, the hosts invited Michael Phillips of the Richmond Times-Dispatch to discuss the area's ridiculous-sounding new bus, the best restaurants and the top places to drink beer (and some 'Skins football, too). After Phillips hangs up, the four Redskins Talkers each identify a player no one's focusing on who they think will have a big 2018 as well as some fringe roster guys who could surprise folks. Also, JP presents one of his most brilliant ideas that the listeners should definitely follow up on. If you like podcasts where JP and Tandler get into a weirdly intense fight about how many linebackers the team kept last year and Pete professes his love for "TGI's," then this is the episode for you. COME SAY WHAT'S UP TO US DOWN IN VIRGINIA. AND BRING YOUR SIGNS TOO.

Will Junior Galette eventually return to the Redskins? Plus, looking at the team's Madden ratings and a weird Taylor Swift segment Jul 11, 2018

Not only did you get an Emergency Podcast on July 11, but you get this podcast, which was recorded an hour before the Redskins drafted Adonis Alexander. So, make sure you listen to both. This one includes JP Finlay — who's celebrating another one of his favorite holidays — Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey. The first topic in this installment deals with Junior Galette, who has been tweeting about how a reunion with the Redskins isn't totally out of the question. Should the 'Skins bring him back, though? Then, another opinion on Washington's offense and Alex Smith is presented, and this one is more positive than the one from a few shows ago. Following that chat, the hosts look at how Madden 19 rated various players in the Burgundy and Gold, from Alex Smith to Preston Smith to Fish Smithson. And finally, two segments dreamt up by Pete wrap things up: first, everyone identifies their favorite all-time video game, and second, (almost) everyone picks a Taylor Swift song to relate to the Redskins since Swift is having concerts at FedEx Field. If you like podcasts where JP oddly calls 7-Eleven a restaurant and Tandler gets strangely angry about anonymous scouts, then this is the episode for you.

EMERGENCY PODCAST: Breaking down the Redskins' selection of Adonis Alexander in the Supplemental Draft Jul 11, 2018

The Redskins Talk hosts had a feeling it would happen, and sure enough, the Redskins took Adonis Alexander in the 2018 Supplemental Draft. So, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey converged for an Emergency Podcast to look at the move, its potential and a bunch of other angles. Was it worth it? How did Torrian Gray influence the decision to draft Alexander? And how will he transition to the NFL? If you like podcasts where JP got off of a bus to be a part of the action and you get instant analysis about a 'Skins transaction, then this is the episode for you.

Getting an in-depth scouting report on Adonis Alexander from a Va. Tech expert and making a major podcast announcement Jul 09, 2018

JP Finlay and Pete Hailey teamed up for this Redskins Talk episode, as Rich Tandler is on vacation and Mitch Tischler is somewhere doing something. Even with just half the squad, though, it's a full installment. First, JP gets things started by making a crucial and exciting announcement regarding a certain celebration that'll be taking place in Richmond. You're going to want to listen to that, and then mark it down in your calendar (if people still do that these days). Then, he and Pete react to a write-up on the Redskins by an anonymous scout, in which the scout gave some useful and some not-so-useful thoughts on Alex Smith, Derrius Guice and even Jeremy Sprinkle. After that, the two welcome on Wes McElroy, a Virginia Tech football host who'll give you all you need to know about Hokie DB Adonis Alexander before the NFL's Supplemental Draft on Wednesday. Alexander could be drafted in the middle to late rounds of the event, but should he be? McElroy has some strong opinions on that. If you like podcasts where JP's raspy voice is a recurring topic and Pete's current living situation is — again — made fun of, then this is the episode for you.

Previewing Jets-'Skins training camp practices with a Jets reporter and playing an absolutely epic game of 20 Questions Jul 06, 2018

Training camp is closing in, so JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey invited The Athletic's Jets reporter Connor Hughes onto this edition of Redskins Talk to preview New York's visit to Richmond this August. Among the things Hughes covers with the guys includes how thrilled the franchise was to land Sam Darnold, what his early impressions of ex-'Skins great Terrelle Pryor are, how Leonard Williams' career has gone since being drafted one slot behind Brandon Scherff and which Jet is most likely to start a fight in practice against the Burgundy and Gold. After Hughes hangs up, JP leads the group into the third-ever installment of 20 Questions, and this time, it's his turn to pick the mystery player. And, for once, the game goes as planned — and then ends in a fashion you won't believe. If you like podcasts that discuss the "fight potential" of various players and feature as dramatic of a conclusion to a game of 20 Questions you'll ever come across, then this is the episode for you.

4TH OF JULY SPECIAL: A debate about if the Redskins are done being dysfunctional and a bunch of yelling about holidays Jul 03, 2018

It's on you to purchase the meats and beers, but we've got the podcast you need to make your 4th of July complete. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are in the holiday spirit for this edition of Redskins Talk, yet — kind of accidentally — they open up by talking about football for a decent amount of the action. First, JP makes an important podcast announcement related to training camp, and then, the guys wonder if the 'Skins' days of being really dysfunctional are over, a question that causes some disagreement between Tandler and JP (crazy, right?) After that debate, things give way to a handful of random holiday discussions, including JP's list about the top 4 holidays, Tandler bragging about how good his Thanksgiving turkey is and Pete's argument that Memorial Day is better than July 4th. If you like podcasts where Pete still doesn't know whether he's actually going to camp in Richmond and Tandler gets grumpy about Halloween, then this is the episode for you.

Is it realistic to expect a 1,000-yard season from Derrius Guice in his first year with the Redskins? Jul 01, 2018

This Redskins Talk podcast is a full one, with JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey in studio and ESPN's John Keim on the phone. The majority of the pod is dedicated to discussing two guys: Derrius Guice and Jay Gruden. For Guice, the main question asked is whether he can get over 1,000 yards as a rookie, and the guys look at factors including how his running style could affect his health, whether he'll get enough carries to reach that milestone and how Samaje Perine's first year as a pro relates to Guice's. After that, they examine where Gruden landed in NFL.com's ranking of head coaches, who he's slotted behind and whether the spot they placed him in was a fair one. If you like podcasts where Keim needles Tandler — just like he does on Twitter and in person — and JP mixes up the Bills coach with an NBA player, then this is the episode for you.

Oral History of the '91 Redskins: Mark Rypien looks back at all of the beatdowns he and the Super Bowl champs handed out Jun 28, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and, eventually, Mitch Tischler (listen to find out why the word "eventually" is needed) are joined by special guest Mark Rypien for the majority of this Redskins Talk episode. It's the first edition of JP's project in which he rounds up 'Skins players from one of the best teams in NFL history to talk about all that the 1991 squad accomplished, and Rypien was happy to do so for what turned out to be a fun and lengthy interview. During the chat, the QB discusses when he knew the roster was special, a game where he threw six touchdowns on just 16 completions, what quality he thinks today's Redskins could borrow from that group and how crazy the city was while all this winning was going on. But the fun doesn't stop when Rypien hangs up. On the back end of things, Mitch joins the guys AFTER GETTING STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR FOR 40 MINUTES. How did it happen, how did he survive and who amongst the four would panic the most if their particular elevator got stuck? Be sure to hang around for all of that action as well. If you like podcasts where Rypien drops a terrific line about how much he hates losing to the Cowboys and Mitch details what it was like to experience everyone's worst nightmare, then this is the episode for you.

Predicting Josh Doctson's 2018 statline and interviewing an analyst who isn't expecting Alex Smith to thrive in D.C. Jun 27, 2018

After getting a bit off schedule, Redskins Talk is back with this episode that is hosted by JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey. Following the shocking discovery that Rich wasn't checking in from the La-Z-Boy for the first time in who knows how long, JP moves the pod into a couple of solid football topics. First, Pete explains an issue he thinks is flying under the radar that's related to the team's first round picks. That leads into a talk about Josh Doctson, one that includes an attempt at predicting how many catches and TDs he'll post in 2018 and an evaluation of his ability to consistently get open. Next is a really fun back-and-forth interview originally from 'Redskins 100' with Chris Raybon, a football analyst who doesn't like Alex Smith's chances of continuing his late-career revival in Washington. Why? Well, Chris has a few reasons, actually. After that, the hosts pay tribute to NBCSW photographer Mike DiVenere. We miss you, Mike D.

Do we think this will be Jay Gruden's last year as Redskins head coach? And how much has he "stabilized" the team? Jun 21, 2018

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and an extra energetic Brian Mitchell are the voices who'll take you through this chapter of Redskins Talk. After botching the open so badly that they needed to get back in the huddle and restart, the guys open up a lengthy discussion on Jay Gruden that goes a bunch of different ways. Among the questions asked about Gruden in the discussion: Does he deserve to be on the list of coaches most likely to be fired in 2018? How much credit should he get for making the 'Skins respectable? And is he the guy to elevate the Burgundy and Gold? It's all interesting stuff and leads to a lot of good points that'll make you think as you're sitting in devastating traffic or mowing your lawn. The end portion of the pod, meanwhile, is devoted to a neat idea that JP is cooking up and a strong Russ Grimm story, as told by B-Mitch. If you like podcasts where it's revealed that Brian plays more games on his phone than a teenager and Pete is muted for the first time in a long time, then this is the episode for you.

Analyzing whether Alex Smith is a top-100 NFL player and revisiting a past discussion on Brandon Scherff's value Jun 20, 2018

A recovering JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler joined up for this mid-week, football heavy edition of Redskins Talk. The beginning of the podcast includes two different discussions centered on Alex Smith, with the first regarding how he seems well aware of how he needs to start the year fast and the second spent wondering if he's a top-100 player in football, since he hasn't shown up on the NFL Network's Top 100 list yet. Then, the guys look back on a debate they held on Brandon Scherff and wonder whether they need to adjust their take that he wasn't worth such a high draft selection considering how guards are getting paid more and more these days. And finally, JP enlists the help of Rich and Mitch in an early look at the next Podcast Party. If you like podcasts where JP puts up a solid effort in his Flu Game and all three hosts turn in decent Jay Gruden impressions, then this is the episode for you.

Zach Brown has some thoughts on Terrelle Pryor you'll want to hear, and JP goes 1-on-1 with DJ Swearinger Jun 18, 2018

For Redskins Talk fans who want to hear talk about the Redskins (as opposed to the Capitals or Pod Parties) you're in luck, because JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey actually talk a lot of Burgundy and Gold in this episode. Imagine that! After Tandler's unusual intro and JP showing that he may actually be committed to becoming more organized, the guys get into a discussion about what Zach Brown said regarding Terrelle Pryor. You'll hear the audio itself as well as everyone's take on it. Then, that is followed by an evaluation of the team's safeties and whether that group is sufficient enough for 2018. And, finally, you'll be treated to JP's 1-on-1 interview with DJ Swearinger, an interview where Swearinger gives his thoughts on communication, Orlando Scandrick and what he's been telling Montae Nicholson. If you like podcasts where Tandler quotes Allen Iverson and Swearinger reveals that he's invented a spin-off version of golf, then this is the episode for you.

"Holy moly, we did it again," is how JP Finlay opens this Redskins Talk podcast, which is the perfect way to get things started. He, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and Brian Mitchell hosted this edition from B-Mitch's very large, very nice backyard and devoted the entire time to a recap of the most fun Podcast Party yet — a recap that has the calming sound of lawn mowers buzzing in the background throughout.

You'll also hear JP thank the listeners many times and deservedly so, and at the end, you'll be treated to a nice phone call from Rich Tandler and get his take on all that went down.

Naming players who made strong minicamp impressions and thoughts on the Redskins trying to improve the fan experience Jun 13, 2018

For the last time for a while, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey hung out at the picnic tables in Ashburn for this Redskins Talk episode following the team's final minicamp session. After opening with a chat about Pete's overall dumbness, the guys take turns talking about players who stood out on the field, including Daron Payne, Robert Davis, Greg Stroman and an undrafted receiver who will be worth watching in Richmond. They also briefly discuss a pretty intense fight that happened between two defensive linemen and Trey Quinn as a punt returner. Then, they move into a conversation about how the 'Skins are really trying to improve the fan experience at FedEx Field, which is a thing that probably affects many of you listeners. Finally, the pod closes out with JP analyzing how incredibly disorganized he is (there's a fun story here that ends with him getting roasted by his wife). If you like podcasts where Robert Davis' growth is brought up and JP gets a live taco delivery, then this is the episode for you. COME TO THE PODCAST PARTY AT MATCHBOX IN ASHBURN ON THURSDAY, JUNE 14, BY THE WAY.

How much pressure does the Caps' win apply to the Redskins? Also, Mitch makes his triumphant return to the pod Jun 10, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and — please try to hold your applause until the end of this sentence — Hockey Mitch Tischler joined up for this chapter of Redskins Talk. After a quick hyping up of the upcoming Podcast Party (June 14 at Matchbox in Ashburn; bring everyone), Mitch recaps what its been like to cover the Capitals as they ascended to the top of the NHL. Included: Tales from the ice immediately following the team's clinching win as well as how he was able to get into the Vegas club where Washington's players were partying later that evening. Conveniently, all of his bragging leads nicely into a chat regarding a blog Tandler wrote about how the 'Skins should now feel pressure to get their act together in order to hold their top spot in terms of popularity in D.C. Eventually, there's a riveting minicamp preview since the Burgundy and Gold are having theirs this week, and the pod closes out with more Podcast Party excitement. If you like podcasts where JP invents the Millennial Meter and you get to hear all of the sweet raffle items that'll be given away at Matchbox, then this is the episode for you.

OTA session 3 recap: Are the Redskins in trouble at outside linebacker? And Paul Richardson goes 1-on-1 with JP Jun 06, 2018

This Redskins Talk podcast is coming at you from the picnic tables at the team's Ashburn facility, features JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey and was recorded after the 'Skins' third open OTA session. As you listen, you'll hear observations about Jamison Crowder's chemistry with Alex Smith, Quinton Dunbar's consistency, Kevin Hogan's unfortunate day and Josh Doctson getting extra reps. Eventually, the conversation shifts to Ryan Anderson, which leads to a broader talk about whether the Redskins are deep enough at outside linebacker behind Preston Smith and Ryan Kerrigan. As of now, it sure doesn't feel like it. Next, JP reads some funny tweets about Trey Quinn as Quinn's "Hype Rocket" continues to gain speed, before things wrap up with JP's post-practice, 1-on-1 interview with Paul Richardson. If you like podcasts where Tandler doubts JP's ability to start the recording device and Richardson brings up how his speed can be a weapon, then this is the episode for you.

While crashing the Eastern Motors commercial shoot, JP Finlay caught up with Jamison Crowder, Alex Smith, Ryan Kerrigan and Josh Norman, and in this pod, you'll hear his interviews with the DEFENSIVE players — and these interviews are fun because they're largely about non-football things. With Kerrigan, JP brings up things like the Capitals, whether OTAs are boring, if he has advice for Preston Smith before Smith's contract year, his early thoughts about Daron Payne and what it was like to once wear the number 53. And with Norman, you'll hear the corner talk about cars, how he was robbed on Dancing with the Stars, kilts and Quinton Dunbar. If you like podcasts where JP and Ryan talk about Ryan's old flow and JP and Norman discuss the proper way to wear a kilt, then you will LOVE this episode.

Your pod is your credit, pt. 1: JP talks to Jamison Crowder about coleslaw and Alex Smith about Derrius Guice Jun 05, 2018

This is a VERY COOL episode of Redskins Talk, listeners!!! While crashing the Eastern Motors commercial shoot, JP Finlay caught up with Jamison Crowder, Alex Smith, Ryan Kerrigan and Josh Norman, and in this pod, you'll hear his interviews with the OFFENSIVE players — and these interviews are fun because they're largely about non-football things. With Crowder, JP asks questions about the receiver being a new homeowner, Duke basketball, barbecue, how he found out about the Smith trade and his (lack of) social media habits. And with Smith, you'll hear the QB talk about how great it feels to be featured in an Easterns ad, traffic in the various places No. 11 has played in, how winning can be infectious throughout a city, his early impressions of Derrius Guice and the benefits of a training camp that's separate from the team facility. If you like podcasts where JP and Jamison go in-depth on beaches in Carolina and your team's new passer explains why Jay Gruden is fun to play for, then you will LOVE this episode.

An interesting way to compare Alex Smith and Kirk Cousins, plus a complete vacation recap from Rich and Pete Jun 03, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler (yup, the legend has returned from the Outer Banks), Pete Hailey and Chick Hernandez (who joins halfway through) came together for this half football, half life edition of Redskins Talk. After their usual back-and-forths, the crew brings up a neat statistic regarding interceptions and analyze how that stat affects their perception of Kirk Cousins and Alex Smith. Next, JP references an article he wrote that brought up some useful numbers regarding Orlando Scandrick and the Redskins' overall commitment to stopping the run this year. And finally, Pete and Tandler recap their respective Memorial Day trips to Ocean City and OBX, leading to stories about insane cover charges and the time JP nearly drowned. If you like podcasts where Pete actually mutes himself throughout and you learn some pretty cool info about Scandrick you probably didn't know about before, then this is the episode for you.

A chat about whether Josh Doctson's ready to turn the corner, a handful of OTA nuggets and JP's best Vegas stories May 31, 2018

A really raspy-voiced JP Finlay joins Pete Hailey for this two-host installment of Redskins Talk. After Pete's mediocre rendition of "Happy Birthday" dedicated to the absent Rich Tandler, JP drops a promising announcement regarding the upcoming Podcast Party. Then, Pete rattles off some of his favorite nuggets from the team's most recent OTA session, including thoughts on Josh Doctson and whether he's ready to ascend, Josh Norman playing in the slot and Ryan Anderson getting a little action with the D-linemen. After that, JP transitions to a review of his Vegas trip and his blossoming friendship with Raiders owner Mark Davis. And in the pod's closing minutes, Brian Mitchell makes a surprise appearance and gives his thoughts on Doctson, burner accounts and various other topics. If you like podcasts where it's immediately evident that JP is still battling the post-Vegas bug and Pete's sheltered lifestyle is brought up, then this is the episode for you. (Also, come to the Podcast Party on June 14 at Matchbox in Ashburn. Tell your friends to come, too).

Predicting who will emerge at corner opposite Josh Norman and a maybe-too-early-but-still-fun look at training camp May 28, 2018

Your Memorial Day needs a few things to be successful: Beer, food and this new Redskins Talk pod. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey get together and open this installment up with a conversation about — get this — the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon. It's a Hoover Dam/Grand Canyon chat you never knew you needed. Things eventually get serious, however, when JP brings up the topic of which corner among Quinton Dunbar, Fabian Moreau and Orlando Scandrick will play opposite of Josh Norman. JP and Pete are high on Dunbar, while Tandler isn't exactly there. Then, the hosts take a very early look at training camp in Richmond, because why not? And finally, the conclusion of this Redskins Talk edition is devoted to an intriguing look at the guys' various vacations. If you like podcasts where Tandler drops one of the best lines in the history of the show and (possibly too much) time is used to analyze walk-throughs that are happening two months from now, then this is the episode for you.

After that, a little football is discussed, as Tandler goes through some rule changes and how 'Skins players are reacting to them. Then, Caps expert Rob Carlin returns to the show to preview Caps-Knights in a very fun, very easy to understand fashion. And finally, JP, Rich and Pete go through a ranking of "guys," as in, the best kinds of guys to know. It's all excellent stuff.

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and a barely invited Ajay Atayee check in for this Redskins Talk installment from the Mobile Podcast Studio/JP's 2013 Honda Pilot following Washington's first open OTA session in Ashburn. And in this installment, the crew covers a ton. From JP coining the term "hype rocket" regarding Trey Quinn's growing popularity to a recap of a sweet Alex Smith to Paul Richardson pass to observations on players like Josh Harvey-Clemons, Derrius Guice and Zach Brown (who wasn't in attendance, BUT DON'T FREAK OUT), you'll get a ton of news on the 'Skins in under 20 minutes. If you like podcasts where Tandler reveals how much he can squat and JP reminds you not to give up on Rob Kelley, then this is the episode for you.

Are people counting out Jordan Reed too soon? Also, what and whom to look at as the Redskins start OTAs May 21, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey didn't reserve the studio in time for this podcast, so instead, they jerry-rigged some phones to make this episode of Redskins Talk happen. After bouncing around on various topics, including Pete reaching 1,000 Twitter followers, JP randomly promoting a mechanic and a Vince Lombardi joke gone kinda wrong, the three jump into a Jordan Reed discussion. Using comments made by Vernon Davis, JP asks the question: Are people counting the talented Reed out too soon? That is followed by an OTAs preview (you're damn right you're getting an OTAs preview) as JP, Rich and Pete bring up the players and things they'll be watching for over the next few sessions in Ashburn. If you like podcasts where the audio is pretty wack but the insight sure isn't (seriously, sorry about the audio, it was the best we could do :-/) and Tandler talks about the time he ran into Morgan Moses at Target, then this is the episode for you.

Re-grading the team's 2015 draft class plus the return of 20 Questions AND Tandler's Got Jokes May 18, 2018

This Redskins Talk podcast is jam-packed with info and with fun. The info comes in the first half, as JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and Mitch Tischler (yep, Mitch is back!!!!!) re-grade the Redskins' 2015 draft class, a class that included the likes of Brandon Scherff and Matt Jones. How does this haul compare to the 2014 group, which was graded in the last podcast? That look back leads into a chat about Preston Smith and Jamison Crowder, two 'Skins who could be in line for big extensions soon. Then the fun kicks in. First, there's the return of 20 Questions, with Pete serving as the question answerer and the rest of the group (again) getting angry at the game, even though it was a blast and they're just salty all the time. 20 Questions is followed up by a 5-joke edition of Tandler's Got Jokes, all of which are just as cheesy as you hoped they'd be. If you like podcasts where Preston Smith's future and massive bank account is discussed and Tandler spills his water, then this is the episode for you.

Trying to identify the best position group on the 2018 Redskins and re-grading the team's 2014 draft class May 16, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey linked up for this particular Redskins Talk, which starts with JP campaigning for Pete to get to 1,000 Twitter followers (FOLLOW @_PeterHailey, 1000th person gets a t-shirt!) Then, the three react to news that Bashaud Breeland is taking visits with a few teams again and speculate on what kind of deal the corner should take with his next club. That conversation sparks a discussion about the strongest and weakest positions on the team, with the first category proving to be a somewhat hard answer to come up with. Next, it's time to re-evaluate the Redskins' 2014 draft class, which included Breeland, Trent Murphy and Morgan Moses. How does that haul look now? And finally, JP and Tandler weigh in on the bizarre Yanny vs. Laurel Internet thing. If you like podcasts where Pete does a questionable caveman impression and Tandler provides more info on Ted Bolser than you'll ever need, then this is the episode for you.

Tracing DeAngelo Hall's impact through the years and discussing if the Redskins are the second-best NFC East team May 14, 2018

JP Finlay and Pete Hailey open up this Redskins Talk podcast by recapping their recent golf triumph but are quickly joined in the studio by Brian Mitchell, who proceeds to make fun of JP and Pete's recent golf triumph. Things turn back to the Burgundy and Gold quickly, though, with the three talking about DeAngelo Hall's retirement, recounting some of his best moments and arguing about whether D-Hall was a true shutdown corner or not. That is where you'll hear B-Mitch call Pete "soft," so you don't want to miss that. After, Brian tells a short but insightful story about Derrius Guice that gives you some insight into the RB's personality. The trio then tosses to an interview that JP and Rich Tandler held with Sirius XM's Adam Caplan, an NFL Insider who possesses a ton of knowledge about your favorite sport. Caplan gives his opinion on the Redskins offense — a group he thinks can be VERY dynamic, but also very problematic — before taking you on a tour of the rest of the NFC East. Things might be shaking out OK for Washington in the division, according to him. If you like podcasts where classic DeAngelo Hall TDs are brought up and a reporter pays compliments to Alex Smith, then this is the episode for you.

Making observations from rookie minicamp and having a conversation about left guard now that Kouandjio is hurt May 11, 2018

This podcast is coming at you from the podcast picnic table at Redskins Park in Ashburn and features JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Chick Hernandez, Pete Hailey and 'Redskins 100' producer/heavy hair gel user Ajay Atayee. The guys open up by having (yes, another) discussion about left guard after JP reported that Arie Kouandjio's 2018 season is in jeopardy due to a quad injury. Is it time to panic? There's disagreement answering that one. Then, everyone gives their observations and standouts from Friday's rookie minicamp session, including notes on Derrius Guice and Trey Quinn, after watching the Burgundy and Gold's first-year players get after it in practice under Jay Gruden's watchful eye. If you like podcasts where Tandler calls someone a redneck and the Trey Quinn hype train starts rolling, then this is the episode for you.

Could the Redskins be grooming their next GM? Also, a perfectly bite-sized Caps-Lightning preview May 10, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey are steering this particular Redskins Talk show, and things get goin' early. The trio review the 20 Questions controversy stemming from the previous pod, and to NO ONE'S SURPRISE, Tandler isn't budging and thinks he's right when he's clearly wrong. After that early dust-up, JP brings up the departure of Scott Campbell and the rise of Kyle Smith, and explains why Smith could be Washington's future GM — and soon, too. He also relates the situation back to Sean McVay. Then, NBC Sports Washington's Rob Carlin joins the show to give 'Skins fans a short but sweet preview of the Capitals' series vs. the Lightning, because it's necessary for all DC sports fans to stick together and support the other squads in town. If you like podcasts where the future of the Redskins' front office is discussed and JP and Tandler's lack of hockey knowledge is exposed in about 30 seconds, then this is the episode for you.

Ranking the Redskins' best draft gems from the 2000s, plus the debut (and possibly the finale) of a new game May 08, 2018

By the end of this Redskins Talk, you're either going to say it was your favorite episode or your phone will be in the garbage can because you hated it so much. Let's hope it's the first one. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get things moving by examining a list Pete created that ranks the 15 best mid-to-late round picks the 'Skins have made this century. And while it starts off poorly, the top half is pretty much widely accepted by JP, Rich and Mitch. But who's No. 1? After that, the four hosts each choose a mid-to-late rounder from the 2018 class that they each think could be the next Washington gem. That's where things get INTERESTING. First, there's Tandler unknowingly muting his phone in the middle of the pod, which is just fantastic. That is then followed by the first ever round of 20 questions, a game that Pete has been dying to debut on Redskins Talk for a while and a game that goes just DISASTROUSLY. Hopefully the listeners like it enough so it can make an appearance again, though. If you like podcasts that include bizarre requests regarding Tandler's backyard and lots of yelling, then this is the episode for you.

Discussing Shawn Lauvao's return, an interesting decision on Bashaud Breeland and various breakfast items May 06, 2018

The Redskins Talk crew is in full force for this new edition of your favorite podcast. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey open things up with a recap of everyone's Cinco de Mayo — from Pete's awful bowling score to Tandler being a grump about the holiday — before getting into Shawn Lauvao's return. In that Lauvao chat, the four rank the team's options at left guard, debate whether the position's current makeup is acceptable and listen as JP drops very intriguing nuggets from a conversation he had with a starting 'Skins lineman. Then, Tandler walks the pod through a unique path Washington can take with Bashaud Breeland (one they must decide on soon) and whether it's a smart play to execute. The back portion of things is reserved for lots of breakfast talk, from a look at the types of breakfast potatoes to JP's curious stance on bacon. If you like podcasts where a Tandler-centric review is read and the left guard position is covered from all angles, then this is the episode for you.

A respected NFL writer grades the Redskins' draft and advocates for Jay Gruden. Then, JP and Rich rank minor injuries May 04, 2018

This is a very fun Friday edition of Redskins Talk, listeners, so get ready. JP Finlay and an in-studio Rich Tandler open up with a brief intro before getting into a long interview with longtime NFL writer Don Banks, who is about as respected as they come in the business. As a Bostonian, Banks is a good guy to provide an outsider's opinion on the franchise, and he does so about their draft, Derrius Guice and the direction of the team. He's skeptical about Washington's choice not to draft Derwin James, for instance, but he's very impressed by what Jay Gruden has accomplished and thinks the coach should get more shine. After JP, Rich and Don's chat, the two pod hosts rank various minor injuries before getting confused about how to close things out, an exchange that Producer Pete leaves in for all the listeners to hear. If you like podcasts where Rich misses his La-Z-Boy and JP really defends Jay Gruden, then this is the episode for you.

A discussion on Bruce Allen — has he really been THAT bad? — and Tandler and JP compare roster projections May 02, 2018

The Redskins Talk crew opens up May with a fun edition of the program. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey make this episode happen from three different states and open it up by having a long chat about Bruce Allen. While the whole Kirk Cousins situation was a giant mess — no one can deny that — has Allen been as BAD as fans have made him out to be with everything else in his tenure in D.C.? It's an interesting chat full of different angles and points, and considering how much Allen draws a reaction from 'Skins fans, it's worth listening to. Then, JP and Rich go head-to-head and compare their recent 53-man roster projections, debating amongst themselves who will make the final cut and which rookies and veterans will be dropped. Other highlights of the episode: Pete owns up to a blogging botch and JP makes a major promise when it comes to reviews. If you like podcasts where Tandler talks his favorite topic — interior linemen — and Tress Way's punting numbers are examined, then this is the episode for you.

The crew reacts to Doug Williams' post-NFL Draft press conference and JP goes 1-on-1 with Doug himself Apr 30, 2018

On Redskins Talk, there's no such thing as a post-draft break. Even though JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler all worked long hours during the actual draft, they're back for yet another pod covering what the team did during the NFL's biggest offseason event. The trio were all in attendance for Doug Williams' press conference on Monday, a presser in which he recapped all that went down in Rounds 1-7. So, JP, Rich and Mitch open the pod by reacting to what Doug said at the podium, analyzing things such as Williams' confidence in Derrius Guice and the team's plan at left guard. Then, they move into some housekeeping items — which includes a shoutout to the listeners for helping set a record on the pod for a FOURTH straight month — read another excellent review and then toss to JP's 1-on-1 interview with Williams. There, you'll hear Doug get particularly excited over Sean Dion Hamilton and Trey Quinn. If you like podcasts that continue to bring shine on the 2018 draft class and also include Mitch and Rich calling JP soft (and rightfully so), then this is the episode for you.

DRAFT WRAP-UP: Guys, it kinda looks like the Redskins absolutely crushed the 2018 NFL Draft Apr 29, 2018

JP Finlay and Rich Tandler are tired, ready for some alcohol and relieved that the NFL Draft is over. But the two Redskins Talk hosts also have something else in common: They're both very impressed with what Washington did with their eight picks. So, in this podcast, they wrap up everything that went down. From how excited JP is that the 'Skins landed Tim Settle in Round 5 to Tandler's praising of other late-round choices like Troy Apke and Greg Stroman, this edition of Redskins Talk will make you a little prouder to wear the Burgundy and Gold. If you like podcasts where JP does a horrible Jay Gruden impression while Tandler gets to brag about (somehow) nailing a seventh-round pick in one of his insane mock drafts, then this is the episode for you. (Sorry about the audio, by the way, the primary record went out, which you should blame JP for. -Producer Pete #GuiceIsNice)

EMERGENCY(?) PODCAST: Processing the WILD Derrius Guice pick, plus grading the Redskins through two nights of the Draft Apr 28, 2018

Even though Rich Tandler wants to deny it, JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler are (properly) declaring this an EMERGENCY PODCAST. That's only fair when the Redskins end up with one of the draft's most talented players late in the second round. JP, Tandler and Mitch try to process the selection of Derrius Guice while sitting in a Redskins Park parking lot. There, Finlay talks about his impressions of the LSU RB (who he talked to at the Combine), while all three tout the insane value he presents Washington. They also discuss how his lack of pass catching may not be a huge deal. Guice wasn't the only 'Skins pick on Friday night, of course, and an excited Mitch gives his scouting report on Louisville lineman Geron Christian before grades are assigned for what the Burgundy and Gold have done through the first two nights of the draft. If you like podcasts where jets are constantly flying overhead and Tandler acts especially petty, then this is the episode for you.

The Da'Ron Payne podcast: How should Redskins fans feel about their new defensive lineman? Apr 27, 2018

The pick is in, folks, and it's Da'Ron Payne. So, how should YOU feel about that? That's what JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler are here to talk about. Topics covered include: Whether the Redskins made a mistake in not taking Derwin James or Tremaine Edmunds, how high Payne's ceiling is and what the pick says about how Washington views itself against other NFL teams. Also a part of this pod: Charley Casserly's pre-draft scouting report on the lineman as well as Chris Cooley's interesting take on the selection. If you like podcasts where Mitch is a little sad about not seeing one big man in the Burgundy and Gold but pretty happy to welcome another, and where Tandler is his usual mic-hogging self, then this is the episode for you.

BONUS PODCAST: Interviewing Virginia Tech's stud linebacker Tremaine Edmunds Apr 26, 2018

We couldn't let Redskins Talk listeners have a draft day without a little content, so here's a bonus episode featuring an interview with Virginia Tech LB Tremaine Edmunds. Hear from the talented first-round prospect about what his pre-draft process has been like and what he's most comfortable doing at the next level. Who knows, this could just be who the 'Skins end up taking in Round 1, so you might as well do a little homework on him now.

THE MEGA MOCK: 40+ DC sports personalities all make their first-round pick for the Redskins Apr 24, 2018

You haven't heard a podcast like this one before, folks. What started as a crazy idea from JP Finlay turned into a MEGA MOCK draft, but only one that you Redskins fans will care about. Finlay solicited the opinion of 40-plus sports figures from around the DC area, asking each person who they think the Redskins will take in the first round. And the answers strayed all over the place, from both sides of the ball to picks that take place after trades and more. Included as guests: Larry Michael, the Sports Junkies, PFT Commenter, Chris Cooley, Brian Mitchell, Chick Hernandez, Fred Smoot, Santana Moss, Chad Dukes, George Wallace, Kevin Sheehan, METE and, of course, JP and Rich Tandler.

Draft Month: NFL Network's Charles Davis evaluates EVERYONE, from Derrius Guice to Vita Vea to Billy Price and more Apr 23, 2018

The Redskins Talk podcast's list of draft guests keeps getting stronger, as NFL Network's Charles Davis joins JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler on this edition. Davis is not only a draft analyst, but also a commentator who has done Redskins games in the past and knows what the team needs. In the interview, the two hosts ask the expert about whether Vita Vea is a steal or a reach at 13, and how Vea compares to other D-linemen such as Da'Ron Payne and Maurice Hurst. Then, Davis switches over to the other side of the ball and discusses a bunch of guard and tackle prospects. Don't rule out the team looking at tackle, he says, because of Trent Williams and Morgan Moses' injury history. Next, he evaluates the running backs, including Derrius Guice, before answering whether JP's dream scenario of Billy Price falling to Washington in the second round is even possible. If you like podcasts where Mitch gets giddy over the amount of large linemen talk, then this is the episode for you.

Draft Month: Profiling Derwin James, a safety who "eats, sleeps and breathes football" Apr 21, 2018

The Derwin-James-to-the-Redskins movement is picking up steam, so for this edition of Redskins Talk, JP Finlay invited Seminole Radio Network sideline reporter Tom Block on to talk about FSU's standout safety. In the interview, Block describes James as a missile and a physical freak (multiple times). So where does Block think James should be drafted? After that discussion, Block provides the names of some other 'Noles who will be drafted this year and who he thinks will have lengthy pro careers. If you like podcasts where some pretty sick Derwin James stories get told and where two guys bond over how nice of a guy Chris Thompson is, then this is the episode for you.

Draft Month: An expert who's all in on Derwin James, high on Derrius Guice but lukewarm on Tremaine Edmunds and Minkah Fitzpatrick Apr 19, 2018

You want more draft insight? WELL YOU GOT MORE DRAFT INSIGHT. After an intro from JP Finlay in which he sets another podcast review milestone number and drops a little wisdom about drafting for future seasons and not just next season, JP and Mitch Tischler welcome draft pundit Josh Norris onto Redskins Talk. In the interview, Norris explains why he feels Derwin James is super underrated and why he's not so high on prospects such as Tremaine Edmunds and Minkah Fitzpatrick. He also drops plenty of Derrius Guice knowledge and some random interior offensive line players to keep an eye on, just because he can. If you like podcasts that'll continue to make you a smarter fan and where the guest borderline insults Mitch's love for Vita Vea , then this is the episode for you.

First, Ferreira walks hosts JP Finlay and Rich Tandler through what the league thinks as it makes each team's schedule, including how it weighs travel, stadium sharing, conflicts with concerts and more.

How many times will they appear under the national spotlight? And who do they open against?

After that comes a fantastic interview with Washington Huskies beat reporter Ryan Clark, a guy who watched Vita Vea first-hand while the "almost video game character" was wrecking O-lines in college. What makes Vea great, and does he have an effort problem like some say he has? And finally, JP takes over to tell a story that involves his wife, some pizza and a trash bag. If you like podcasts that give definitive answers to your Dez Bryant questions and where Mitch finally gets to talk about his man-crush on Vita Vea, then this is the episode for you.

So the three pivoted into an episode focused on Jimmy G's deal and how it relates to Kirk Cousins, the Redskins and Alex Smith. How were the situations in San Fran and D.C. different? Between Garoppolo, Cousins and Smith — considering their current prices — which QB is the best option moving forward? And what kind of milk does JP prefer? (OK, so not everything was about the Niners' passer.) Once you're done listening, take your finger over to the subscribe button and press it, will ya?

John Feinstein, who's literally writing the book on Alex Smith, has some awesome insight about the QB Feb 07, 2018

JP Finlay's back from Minnesota and is joined by Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey for this edition of Redskins Talk. The guys open by (mostly) dismissing the tag and trade speculation surrounding Kirk Cousins after JP shares stories from his time at the Super Bowl (be sure to listen to the one about how he crashed and burned during an Al Michaels interview and let him know about it, too). Then, the pod transitions into an interview with author John Feinstein, who is writing a book about NFL quarterbacks — and conveniently enough, one of his subjects is Alex Smith. Feinstein sheds light on all things Smith, including his personality, his intelligence and how he'll fit in with his new team. If you're looking for new nuggets on Washington's new leader, this is the episode for you.

Vernon Davis (a former teammate) and Jason Campbell (a fellow 2005 draftee) analyze Alex Smith Feb 05, 2018

Redskins Talk's run of excellent guests continues in this episode, as Vernon Davis — who has caught more TDs from Alex Smith than any other player — talks with JP Finlay about Smith's arrival and how people mislabel the passer. Then, Mitch Tischler and Chick Hernandez welcome Jason Campbell — who was taken in the first round of the 2005 draft, like Smith — on to the pod, and Campbell explains why he thinks the 'Skins should still draft a quarterback early this year. You just don't get quality insight like this on many other podcasts, people, so keep subscribing and telling other fans to join the fun.

Chatting with ex-Redskins Ricky Jean Francois and Nate Sudfeld at the Super Bowl Jan 30, 2018

The Super Bowl is fantastic because you can talk to so many people involved in football, and JP Finlay does just that in this episode of Redskins Talk. First, JP chats with 1998's second overall pick Ryan Leaf, who had a wild career on the field and has also really learned a lot off of it. Leaf gives his insight into what's going on with Kirk Cousins and also explains why Baker Mayfield is his favorite passer prospect this year. Then, JP catches up with two former Redskins who are hoping to pick up a ring on Sunday: Ricky Jean Francois and Nate Sudfeld. How does RJF look back on his time in D.C.? Will Sudfeld still answer JP's texts if his Eagles beat the Pats? Those questions and much more are covered in the interviews.

How much will it cost to bring back Zach Brown and extend Preston Smith? Jan 29, 2018

Aside from the time JP Finlay recorded a live pod at NBC Sports Washington's holiday party, this is about as interesting a setup as you'll find on Redskins Talk. This go-round, JP calls Rich Tandler from the back of a Lyft, and the two get to chat for the first time in a while before Finlay gets to the airport and departs for the Super Bowl. They begin by listing which of the four main outcomes they think is most likely to play out between Kirk Cousins and the Redskins, and then they move on to two more important contract situations regarding Zach Brown and Preston Smith. In Tandler's eyes, fans need to appreciate one of those defenders a lot more. Finally, they debate which of the area airports is their favorite and, duh, there's a disagreement.

JP Finlay didn't just talk to the quarterback prospects while in Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl; he also caught up with Jay Gruden and Vice President of Player Personnel Doug Williams there, too. In his interviews with the two decision-makers, JP asks about how Kirk Cousins' contract uncertainty affects the team's operations while scouting QB prospects, what exactly they're looking for in the young guys and whether there's tension between Cousins and the 'Skins. Also included: Gruden asking JP if he can just leave him alone and let him watch some damn football.

Four 1-on-1 interviews with rookie QBs Josh Allen, Mason Rudolph, Luke Falk and Mike White Jan 24, 2018

If you're interested in the 2018 quarterback class, then you can't hit play on this episode fast enough. While in Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl, JP Finlay interviewed Wyoming's Josh Allen, Oklahoma State's Mason Rudolph, Washington State's Luke Falk and Western Kentucky's Mike White. The first is a contender to be the top overall pick in April, the second is a near-lock for the first round (and grew up as a 'Skins fan), the third is the Pac-12's all-time record holder for TDs and yards and the fourth threw 63 scores in his final two years. Here's your chance to get to know them.

With the Senior Bowl approaching, it's time to start talking about Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen Jan 22, 2018

JP Finlay and Rich Tandler recorded this episode following the NFL's conference championship games while sitting in their respective comfy office chairs. The best pair in podcasting begin by analyzing what went down between the Jags and Pats and the Eagles and Vikings and try and figure out what the Redskins can take away from the NFL's top teams. They then talk about the quarterback position, but not about the guy you're used to hearing them discuss. Instead, JP and Tandler debate which prospect is more interesting between Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield, since JP is heading to Alabama to cover some of the Senior Bowl, where both young passers will be. Finally, the pod wraps with a celebration of an amazing accomplishment by Tandler, so make sure you have the champagne bottles ready.

This season is proving that a QB needs help, and Kirk Cousins didn't have much of it on the Redskins Jan 19, 2018

JP Finlay and Rich Tandler open up this podcast by discussing how Jay Gruden's seat may actually be cooler in 2018 if Kirk Cousins doesn't return. They also chat about Tandler's impressive beer-drinking habits. Most of the episode belongs to Finlay's interview with NBC Sports analyst Chris Simms, though, and the former QB gives a ton of great thoughts on what's going on with Cousins. Included: Why he thinks Jay Gruden's end-of-year assessment of No. 8 wasn't fair at all, his opinion on the importance of building a strong team around Cousins and his evaluation of Washington's chances if a rookie or Colt McCoy are starting next year instead.

This may be the most unique of the 157 Redskins Talk episodes that have been published so far. In the midst of NBC Sports Washington's holiday party, JP Finlay brought out the podcast equipment and asked a bunch of reporters and analysts two questions about Kirk Cousins: What should the Redskins do, and what will the Redskins do? Among those who were kind enough to join: Joe Beninati, Chick Hernandez, Trevor Matich, Tony Massenburg, Tarik El-Bashir, Chase Hughes, Rob Carlin, Julie Donaldson and Shawn Springs. The most impressive part of it all? He did it in one take.

Deciding what Blake Bortles' success in Jacksonville means for Kirk Cousins' future Jan 16, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey recovered from the Vikings-Saints game just in time to deliver this episode of Redskins Talk. In it, they try to figure out whether what Blake Bortles is doing with the Jaguars has any effect on Kirk Cousins' future with the 'Skins and discuss how fans shouldn't allow the fact that three of the four QBs left standing are mediocre influence how they feel about No. 8. Also included: A fun gameshow called "Who's more likely to know who Slick Rick is, Pete or Tandler?"

Does playing in D.C. give a boost to Kirk Cousins' marketability, and therefore, an edge to the Redskins? Jan 11, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are your podcast guides on yet another loaded offseason episode. To open, the four discuss whether the Redskins should look to extend other 2015 draft picks like Brandon Scherff and Preston Smith, since they're trying to get a new deal done with Jamison Crowder. Then, the pod jumps into an interview with Sports Business Journal's John Ourand, who goes back and forth with Finlay over whether playing in the nation's capital carries extra value to Kirk Cousins' marketability as opposed to, say, Jacksonville or Denver. The final few minutes are then devoted to the return of Tandler's Got Jokes, and Swaggy T absolutely brings the goods.

"It's disgraceful" how the Redskins have neglected their succession plan at quarterback Jan 10, 2018

There's a lot of fun stuff happening on this edition of Redskins Talk. The episode opens up with JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler doing a deep dive on the news that Jamison Crowder is open to signing an extension in D.C. before Tandler goes off on Washington for not having a viable plan at QB should Kirk Cousins leave town. Then, all-time great guy and former 'Skin Darrel Young does an interview with Finlay, and Young gives some really good insight into Cousins' relationship with Jay Gruden, Robert Griffin III and the 5-on-5 pickup games he used to play in while with the team. Things then wrap with a rousing debate over whether the cookies JP brought in look appetizing or not.

Is there a disconnect between Jay Gruden and Kirk Cousins? Jan 08, 2018

This podcast is such a full house that it feels weird not to have Bob Saget on it. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler, Chick Hernandez and Pete Hailey are the starting 5 for this episode, which continues to dive into Kirk Cousins' relationship with the Redskins. What should be made of Jay Gruden's comments that he doesn't want to go through "another" one-year deal? Is there a disconnect between the head coach and the QB? And what did this weekend's playoff games teach us about where No. 8 stands in the hierarchy of passers? Also included: Pete's awful flop after JP kindly set him up to contribute for once as well as some news about when Redskins Talk will be published in the offseason.

Should Redskins fans feel better or worse about a Kirk Cousins return after his long, year-end interview? Jan 05, 2018

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler are here after their field trip out to Jammin' Java for Kirk Cousins' end-of-year radio interview to analyze all that the QB said. A lot was revealed and there's a lot to take away, including the general feel that this thing may be heading toward the transition tag and the revelation that the Redskins actually were ready to offer a deal to Cousins late in 2015 but his side decided not to entertain it. The trio then answers the main question: Should fans feel better about a Cousins return after the event?

Going 1-on-1 with Joe Jacoby, Hall of Fame finalist and esteemed member of "The Hogs" Jan 03, 2018

The day after being named a Hall of Fame finalist for the third time, Joe Jacoby was kind enough to join JP Finlay on this episode of Redskins Talk. Finlay and the Washington star discuss Jacoby's favorite Super Bowl, the one, epic time he scored a touchdown and whether or not he feels those talented 'Skins teams are represented enough in the Hall of Fame. Finlay also presents a compelling theory about why this time may be different for the Hall hopeful, a theory that Jacoby buys in to.

What good vibes? Redskins flush all positive feelings down the toilet with a rotten effort in the Big Apple Dec 31, 2017

"The guys were more interested in standing around the heaters on the sideline," Mitch Tischler says early on in this edition of Redskins Talk, and he was not wrong. Tischler, along with JP Finlay and Rich Tandler, did their best to come up with answers after the 'Skins laid an "eggturd" in New York, but they came up with more questions. Was this the worst game of Kirk Cousins' career? Was it ugly enough to cost Jay Gruden his job? And why did JP give a game ball to a paper bag? End your 2017/start your 2018 off right by listening to find out.

"Has the true commitment to this QB ever come down from the top?" Dec 28, 2017

Borderline podcast regular John Keim joins hosts JP Finlay and Rich Tandler for this pre-Week 17 edition of Redskins Talk. The three reporters open by trying to find some silver linings from the back-half of the 2017 season, so bring your half-full glasses for that. They then move into yet another Kirk Cousins discussion, but this one's interesting because they poke some holes in the teams that many expect Cousins to head to if he leaves D.C. and also come to the conclusion that at some point, this back-and-forth needs to stop — and it may stop this offseason.

This pod's a crowded one, as JP Finlay and Rich Tandler were kind enough to invite Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey on-board. The 3.5 voices (Pete's muted for much of it) start by discussing how the Redskins' offensive issues are beginning to really affect Kirk Cousins and then debate whether now is the time to seriously question Josh Doctson's production.
