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

Show notes

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.

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

Show notes

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.

Training Camp, Day 14: DJ Swearinger says don't give up yet. How did other teammates react to Derrius Guice's injury? Aug 11, 2018

Show notes

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.

The Derrius Guice Emergency Pod: Trying to process the rookie's injury and even trying to look at the brighter side Aug 10, 2018

Show notes

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.

Preseason Week 1 recap: Figuring out who impressed and who still has work to do after the Patriots game Aug 10, 2018

Show notes

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. Also, go wish our guy Mitch a Happy Birthday on Twitter, because it's his birthday and we want it to be happy.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
