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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
