The Da'Ron Payne podcast: How should Redskins fans feel about their new defensive lineman? Apr 27, 2018

Show notes

The pick is in, folks, and it's Da'Ron Payne. So, how should YOU feel about that? That's what JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler are here to talk about. Topics covered include: Whether the Redskins made a mistake in not taking Derwin James or Tremaine Edmunds, how high Payne's ceiling is and what the pick says about how Washington views itself against other NFL teams. Also a part of this pod: Charley Casserly's pre-draft scouting report on the lineman as well as Chris Cooley's interesting take on the selection. If you like podcasts where Mitch is a little sad about not seeing one big man in the Burgundy and Gold but pretty happy to welcome another, and where Tandler is his usual mic-hogging self, then this is the episode for you.

Show notes

Hear from the talented first-round prospect about what his pre-draft process has been like and what he's most comfortable doing at the next level. Who knows, this could just be who the 'Skins end up taking in Round 1, so you might as well do a little homework on him now.

Draft Month: NFL Network's Charles Davis evaluates EVERYONE, from Derrius Guice to Vita Vea to Billy Price and more Apr 23, 2018

Show notes

The Redskins Talk podcast's list of draft guests keeps getting stronger, as NFL Network's Charles Davis joins JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler on this edition. Davis is not only a draft analyst, but also a commentator who has done Redskins games in the past and knows what the team needs. In the interview, the two hosts ask the expert about whether Vita Vea is a steal or a reach at 13, and how Vea compares to other D-linemen such as Da'Ron Payne and Maurice Hurst. Then, Davis switches over to the other side of the ball and discusses a bunch of guard and tackle prospects. Don't rule out the team looking at tackle, he says, because of Trent Williams and Morgan Moses' injury history. Next, he evaluates the running backs, including Derrius Guice, before answering whether JP's dream scenario of Billy Price falling to Washington in the second round is even possible. If you like podcasts where Mitch gets giddy over the amount of large linemen talk, then this is the episode for you.

Draft Month: Profiling Derwin James, a safety who "eats, sleeps and breathes football" Apr 21, 2018

Show notes

The Derwin-James-to-the-Redskins movement is picking up steam, so for this edition of Redskins Talk, JP Finlay invited Seminole Radio Network sideline reporter Tom Block on to talk about FSU's standout safety. In the interview, Block describes James as a missile and a physical freak (multiple times). So where does Block think James should be drafted? After that discussion, Block provides the names of some other 'Noles who will be drafted this year and who he thinks will have lengthy pro careers. If you like podcasts where some pretty sick Derwin James stories get told and where two guys bond over how nice of a guy Chris Thompson is, then this is the episode for you.

Draft Month: An expert who's all in on Derwin James, high on Derrius Guice but lukewarm on Tremaine Edmunds and Minkah Fitzpatrick Apr 19, 2018

Show notes

You want more draft insight? WELL YOU GOT MORE DRAFT INSIGHT. After an intro from JP Finlay in which he sets another podcast review milestone number and drops a little wisdom about drafting for future seasons and not just next season, JP and Mitch Tischler welcome draft pundit Josh Norris onto Redskins Talk. In the interview, Norris explains why he feels Derwin James is super underrated and why he's not so high on prospects such as Tremaine Edmunds and Minkah Fitzpatrick. He also drops plenty of Derrius Guice knowledge and some random interior offensive line players to keep an eye on, just because he can. If you like podcasts that'll continue to make you a smarter fan and where the guest borderline insults Mitch's love for Vita Vea , then this is the episode for you.

The ultimate Redskins schedule preview: A former schedule maker predicts Washington's games week-by-week Apr 17, 2018

Joe Ferreira used to help make schedules for the NFL, making him an ideal guest to have on Redskins Talk since the NFL schedule release is coming at some point this week. First, Ferreira walks hosts JP Finlay and Rich Tandler through what the league thinks as it makes each team's schedule, including how it weighs travel, stadium sharing, conflicts with concerts and more. Then, he gives his week-by-week prediction of Washington's 2018 schedule. Will the Burgundy and Gold play on Thanksgiving again this year? How many times will they appear under the national spotlight? And who do they open against? If you like podcasts where the 'Skins are projected to play in two lit Monday Night games and you get inside info that's not available on many other pods, then this is the episode for you.

Should the Redskins make a run at Dez Bryant? Also, an interview that may sell you on Vita Vea Apr 15, 2018

Show notes

This edition of Redskins Talk is PACKED with info. First, JP Finlay and Rich Tandler cover the topic everyone's asking about: Dez Bryant. Among the things the hosts discuss: Whether the Redskins have the NEED for another wideout, why this is the type of move that fits with what Bruce Allen has done in the past and what Dez has left to give the 'Skins or any other NFL team. After that comes a fantastic interview with Washington Huskies beat reporter Ryan Clark, a guy who watched Vita Vea first-hand while the "almost video game character" was wrecking O-lines in college. What makes Vea great, and does he have an effort problem like some say he has? And finally, JP takes over to tell a story that involves his wife, some pizza and a trash bag. If you like podcasts that give definitive answers to your Dez Bryant questions and where Mitch finally gets to talk about his man-crush on Vita Vea, then this is the episode for you.

Draft Month: Vea or Payne? James or Fitzpatrick? Which RBs are worth it? College football's best mind answers it all Apr 13, 2018

Show notes

You WISH you knew college football like ESPN and NBC Sports Washington's Trevor Matich knew football. Therefore, he's the perfect guest for this Draft Month edition of Redskins Talk. After an intro featuring the usual suspects plus an IN STUDIO Rich Tandler, the hosts quiz Matich on the key questions you all are wondering about. Who's a better fit at 13 for the 'Skins, Da'Ron Payne or Vita Vea? How about Derwin James or Minkah Fitzpatrick? And are there any under-the-radar RBs worth keeping track of? (Hint: Yes, Matich has one). If you like podcasts that alternate between conversations on beef jerky, beefing up the D-Line and Tandler being a jerk, then this is the episode for you. And, oh yeah, tell a friend about Redskins Talk and then tweet @TandlerNBCS about telling your friend. He'll retweet you!
