Richardson's back but what's up with Dunbar? Is Week 8 a trap game? And did the hosts enjoy Taco Bell? Oct 24, 2018

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey hopped in Mitch's mobile podcast studio to record this Wednesday Redskins Talk. To kick things off, they go through the injury report, one that has promising news in a lot of places but also something troubling when it comes to Quinton Dunbar. Then, the hosts debate how much of a trap game this weekend's matchup vs. the Giants is. Can the 'Skins keep their momentum going or will it feel like the Colts debacle all over again? Next, Pete brings up a stat about Washington's offense that leads to a discussion on playcalling and the running game. And finally, and most importantly, JP and Mitch review their trip to Taco Bell, a place neither have been in a long time. If you like podcasts where JP tells an awesome Paul Richardson/Brandon Scherff story and Pete redeems himself on a finances/car question, then this is the episode for you.

Show notes

The best way to celebrate a Dallas Victory Monday is with this Victory Monday Redskins Talk pod, in which JP Finlay leads you through three 1-on-1 interviews and then hands it off to a group one. First, there's JP's weekly, exclusive chat with Jay Gruden, where the head coach analyzes his much-improved run D and Adrian Peterson's greatness. After those two wrap up, you'll hear Finlay's postgame conversations with Preston Smith and DJ Swearinger. What do those two defenders think was key in the W and what do they want to see their group get better at moving forward? You'll hear those answers and plenty more from them. And finally, you'll be treated to Jonathan Allen's postgame sit-down with the Redskins Kickoff Live crew. Anytime Jonathan Allen opens his mouth, you should listen. It's required. If you like podcasts where Gruden tries to imagine Allen and Daron Payne's ceiling and Swearinger has a money quote about his hopes for the defense, then this is the episode for you.

The Redskins finally took down the Cowboys, and hell, maybe they got some help from our guy Tandler Oct 22, 2018

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got together after a long, wild, emotional day at FedEx Field to recap all that went down during Week 7. First, the guys run through all of the spectacular tributes to Rich Tandler that the team and others put together, of which there were plenty. They also wonder if Tandler a had a little bit to do with Preston Smith's massive TD and that final field goal hitting the upright. Then, they take a look at the important game, from the way the 'Skins bottled up Ezekiel Elliott to the contributions they're continuing to get from Adrian Peterson. But the trio knows things aren't perfect, as they start to wonder what's up with Alex Smith and the offense. If you like podcasts where Pete shows he has NO knowledge of how to lease a car and Mitch gets to devote lots of attention on the big men, then this is the episode for you.

Show notes

For the first time in Redskins Talk history, all four of JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are present for a postgame pod. Mark the date down, folks. In this episode, you'll hear the guys give their immediate reactions to Washington's important Week 6 win over Carolina. How much of a stud is Adrian Peterson? How great was Josh Norman's redemption performance? What worries still remain? You'll also be treated to a Game Balls and Goats segment, one that was supposed to be tightened up but ended up not really tightened up. 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. You just don't get this kind of content anywhere else, so stick around for that. If you like podcasts where JP gets extra fed up with Tandler and Mitch's buzzer sounds just awful, then this is the episode for you.

Jonathan Allen goes 1-on-1 to talk accountability and leadership, plus predictions about Week 6's Panthers game Oct 12, 2018

Show notes

Get your weekend started off right with this fresh Redskins Talk. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler kick off this installment with the always popular "How the Game Will Unfold" segment, as all three hosts look to predict the flow of Sunday's matchup vs. the Panthers. Will it be a defensive battle? Next, they pick sides on Week 6's over/unders, where plenty of sarcasm and debate occurs. After that, JP tosses to his interview with Jonathan Allen, and the defensive lineman goes in-depth on what's been different for him this season, how he's adjusting to losing more as a pro than a college player and how he's trying to keep everyone on the defense accountable. 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

Show notes

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.
