Junior Galette unfiltered: The soon-to-be free agent answers any and all questions Feb 16, 2018

Show notes

Junior Galette visited the NBC Sports Washington studios to guest star on a new episode of "Redskins 100," and then the future free agent hopped on a fun Facebook Live along with Chick Hernandez, Brian Mitchell and JP Finlay. What you'll hear on this podcast is the best conversations with Galette, including why he wants to stay in D.C., if the team would welcome back Su'a Cravens, his evaluation of Alex Smith and Kirk Cousins and a rapid fire round of questions where he identifies Washington's worst trash talker. A lot of athletes tend to be boring when put on camera or in front of a mic, but Junior is NOT one of those athletes, and you'll learn that in this episode.

The everything pod: Covering Su'a Cravens, Zach Brown and fans quitting over Kirk Cousins Feb 14, 2018

Show notes

A sick JP Finlay, comfy Rich Tandler, much tanner Mitch Tischler and semi-muted Pete Hailey banded together for this edition of Redskins Talk and, for once, covered a bunch of topics without much distraction. First, they analyze what's going on with Su'a Cravens by wondering if the locker room would accept him, what the Redskins could fetch in a trade for him and ultimately whether they think he's back in DC next season. Then, JP brings up one of his tweets (shocker) and discusses whether fans threatening to quit the 'Skins over Kirk Cousins leaving are actually going to do so. Other, later topics include Zach Brown's positive social media behavior and whether AJ McCarron could affect Cousins' future. Enjoy and LEAVE A REVIEW SO WE CAN HAVE A PODCAST PARTY.

Tandler says 10 wins is a "reasonable" expectation for the 2018 Redskins. Is he right or is he crazy? Feb 12, 2018

Show notes

A sick, nose-wiping JP Finlay is joined on this pod by Rich Tandler, Chick Hernandez and Pete Hailey, and the four cover a lot during their time on the mics. The episode opens with a recap of Alex Smith's comments about joining the Redskins and then moves on to a comparison between Smith and Kirk Cousins' numbers. Things take a turn, though, when Tandler suggests that 10 wins next season is "reasonable" for the 'Skins, a suggestion that the other three vehemently disagree with. After a long debate, this edition wraps up with Tandler talking up Preston Smith (yes, again) and some back-and-forth about what everyone's doing on Valentine's Day. Be sure to note how often Chick complains about JP and Pete throughout.

Applying the Jimmy Garoppolo mega-deal to Kirk Cousins, Alex Smith and the Redskins Feb 08, 2018

Show notes

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and ESPN's John Keim were all set to have a nice podcast talk about Preston Smith, tagging and trading and other topics — and then the Jimmy Garoppolo news broke. So the three pivoted into an episode focused on Jimmy G's deal and how it relates to Kirk Cousins, the Redskins and Alex Smith. How were the situations in San Fran and D.C. different? Between Garoppolo, Cousins and Smith — considering their current prices — which QB is the best option moving forward? And what kind of milk does JP prefer? (OK, so not everything was about the Niners' passer.) Once you're done listening, take your finger over to the subscribe button and press it, will ya?

John Feinstein, who's literally writing the book on Alex Smith, has some awesome insight about the QB Feb 07, 2018

Show notes

JP Finlay's back from Minnesota and is joined by Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey for this edition of Redskins Talk. The guys open by (mostly) dismissing the tag and trade speculation surrounding Kirk Cousins after JP shares stories from his time at the Super Bowl (be sure to listen to the one about how he crashed and burned during an Al Michaels interview and let him know about it, too). Then, the pod transitions into an interview with author John Feinstein, who is writing a book about NFL quarterbacks — and conveniently enough, one of his subjects is Alex Smith. Feinstein sheds light on all things Smith, including his personality, his intelligence and how he'll fit in with his new team. If you're looking for new nuggets on Washington's new leader, this is the episode for you.

Vernon Davis (a former teammate) and Jason Campbell (a fellow 2005 draftee) analyze Alex Smith Feb 05, 2018

Show notes

Redskins Talk's run of excellent guests continues in this episode, as Vernon Davis — who has caught more TDs from Alex Smith than any other player — talks with JP Finlay about Smith's arrival and how people mislabel the passer. Then, Mitch Tischler and Chick Hernandez welcome Jason Campbell — who was taken in the first round of the 2005 draft, like Smith — on to the pod, and Campbell explains why he thinks the 'Skins should still draft a quarterback early this year. You just don't get quality insight like this on many other podcasts, people, so keep subscribing and telling other fans to join the fun.

Chatting with ex-Redskins Ricky Jean Francois and Nate Sudfeld at the Super Bowl Jan 30, 2018

Show notes

The Super Bowl is fantastic because you can talk to so many people involved in football, and JP Finlay does just that in this episode of Redskins Talk. First, JP chats with 1998's second overall pick Ryan Leaf, who had a wild career on the field and has also really learned a lot off of it. Leaf gives his insight into what's going on with Kirk Cousins and also explains why Baker Mayfield is his favorite passer prospect this year. Then, JP catches up with two former Redskins who are hoping to pick up a ring on Sunday: Ricky Jean Francois and Nate Sudfeld. How does RJF look back on his time in D.C.? Will Sudfeld still answer JP's texts if his Eagles beat the Pats? Those questions and much more are covered in the interviews.
