Your pod is your credit, pt. 2: JP chats with Ryan Kerrigan about his old haircut and asks Josh Norman for kilt-wearing advice Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

This is ALSO 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 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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

First OTA recap: What it was like seeing Alex Smith, Paul Richardson and the rest of the Redskins compete a bit May 23, 2018

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
