JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to get you ready for Thanksgiving's Redskins-Cowboys showdown.

POSTGAME POD: Redskins lose their QB and lose to Houston, and now it's time for Colt McCoy to take over Nov 19, 2018

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey tried to collect themselves after a season-changing day at FedEx Field for this postgame edition of Redskins Talk that tries to cover everything. As JP says at the start, there's never been an episode like this one. The main topic, of course, is Alex Smith's injury. How did the offense look after Smith exited, and can Colt McCoy lead them now that he's the starter? That's a conversation that's revisited often throughout. They also give out Game Balls and Goats as well as check out over/under results. If you like podcasts where... actually, selling this one doesn't feel necessary. It's an important episode and you know you need to listen to it.

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, an injured Pete Hailey and a sitting Brian Mitchell squadded up in the NBC Sports Washington podcast studio for this terrific Redskins Talk. To start, the guys briefly address Pete's forehead, which has a gross cut on it. They then move into tons of football topics, including the 'Skins' injury situation and a chat about whether the offensive line can hold its ground vs. Houston's star-studded front. Next, the hosts play "Guess the Inactives" and, eventually, come to a consensus on the list. Following that, they set the over/unders, which include a very tantalizing one related to the Texans' D-line. The last football-related thing is the weekly "How the Game Will Unfold" segment. Is anyone predicting a Redskins W? Finally, there's some quality shtick, including nuggets about the upcoming podcast party and more Pete forehead talk.

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and friend of the pod Michael Phillips hung out in Mitch's toasty car out in Ashburn for this very quality edition of Redskins Talk. First, the hosts get you caught up on injuries, including Dustin Hopkins' situation. They then get into a debate about which member of the Texans should scare the 'Skins the most, and there are plenty of options on this talented opponent. Eventually, they move into the contentious FedEx Field atmosphere discussion, wondering what the stadium will look like this week and also laying out all the reasons for the decline in attendance and energy. Following that, Phillips leads the other three into a chat about Alex Smith, focused on a simple question: Are we overlooking the fact that all he does is win? And finally, there's JP's 1-on-1 with Ha Ha "TJ" Clinton-Dix, where the DB gets serious at times and even talks Starbucks issues at one point. If you like podcasts where Mitch's word choice is called into question and you get to meet a new and important Redskin, then this is the episode for you.

A proud Jay Gruden goes 1-on-1 after the Tampa W, plus Josh Norman and Ryan Anderson's postgame interviews Nov 12, 2018

Show notes

These things are a lot more fun after wins, huh? One day after the 'Skins took down the Bucs in Tampa, JP Finlay caught up with Jay Gruden in their weekly, exclusive 1-on-1 chat, and the whole thing was a lot of fun. The head coach reflects on being in first place, how key turnovers are for his team, what it was like watching the "Ryan Fitzpatrick Experience" in person, the toughness Morgan Moses showed and he also looks ahead briefly to the Texans. Once that wraps, you'll hear JP's postgame interviews with Josh Norman and Ryan Anderson, two defenders who came up big in Week 10. If you like podcasts where Gruden gets mad at JP for implying that Gruden curses on the sidelines and Norman and Anderson both evaluate Anderson's incredible forced fumble, then this is the episode for you.

Catching you up on this new-look offensive line and figuring out the situations at CB & WR Nov 07, 2018

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back at the park and here for you in this Wednesday Redskins Talk. To get things going, the guys first focus on Washington's offensive line, try to predict who'll be starting on that unit against the Bucs and generally just get nervous about the whole operation. They also take a look at the depth at corner and wide receiver, two other positions that aren't exactly full of options at the moment. Eventually, JP brings up Vegas odds (shocker) and explains how the books are evaluating this team post-injury. And lastly, they tease a major announcement and JP gets angry about a few various things in a short amount of time. If you like podcasts where Pete gets introduced to the idea of the Playboy grotto and Mitch produces a sketchy airhorn sound effect, then this is the episode for you.
