Should Redskins fans feel better or worse about a Kirk Cousins return after his long, year-end interview? Jan 05, 2018

Show notes

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler are here after their field trip out to Jammin' Java for Kirk Cousins' end-of-year radio interview to analyze all that the QB said. A lot was revealed and there's a lot to take away, including the general feel that this thing may be heading toward the transition tag and the revelation that the Redskins actually were ready to offer a deal to Cousins late in 2015 but his side decided not to entertain it. The trio then answers the main question: Should fans feel better about a Cousins return after the event?

Going 1-on-1 with Joe Jacoby, Hall of Fame finalist and esteemed member of "The Hogs" Jan 03, 2018

Show notes

The day after being named a Hall of Fame finalist for the third time, Joe Jacoby was kind enough to join JP Finlay on this episode of Redskins Talk. Finlay and the Washington star discuss Jacoby's favorite Super Bowl, the one, epic time he scored a touchdown and whether or not he feels those talented 'Skins teams are represented enough in the Hall of Fame. Finlay also presents a compelling theory about why this time may be different for the Hall hopeful, a theory that Jacoby buys in to.

What good vibes? Redskins flush all positive feelings down the toilet with a rotten effort in the Big Apple Dec 31, 2017

Show notes

"The guys were more interested in standing around the heaters on the sideline," Mitch Tischler says early on in this edition of Redskins Talk, and he was not wrong. Tischler, along with JP Finlay and Rich Tandler, did their best to come up with answers after the 'Skins laid an "eggturd" in New York, but they came up with more questions. Was this the worst game of Kirk Cousins' career? Was it ugly enough to cost Jay Gruden his job? And why did JP give a game ball to a paper bag? End your 2017/start your 2018 off right by listening to find out.

"Has the true commitment to this QB ever come down from the top?" Dec 28, 2017

Show notes

Borderline podcast regular John Keim joins hosts JP Finlay and Rich Tandler for this pre-Week 17 edition of Redskins Talk. The three reporters open by trying to find some silver linings from the back-half of the 2017 season, so bring your half-full glasses for that. They then move into yet another Kirk Cousins discussion, but this one's interesting because they poke some holes in the teams that many expect Cousins to head to if he leaves D.C. and also come to the conclusion that at some point, this back-and-forth needs to stop — and it may stop this offseason.

Who says it's too early to start previewing the Redskins' 2018 draft needs? Dec 26, 2017

Show notes

Proving that not all presents have to come on Christmas day, Chick Hernandez joins this edition of Redskins Talk alongside JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey. The four open with a chat on the importance of Washington finishing 8-8 and, after getting sidetracked by a hot Kirk Cousins debate, argue positions of need for the 'Skins as it relates to the 2018 NFL Draft. The second half of the pod is made up of other important topics, like Tandler bragging about picking up yet another Apple product on Xmas, Pete asking the other three if they'd let him live in their basements and JP explaining his problem with a hat he received.

Redskins give their fans an early Christmas gift by dismissing the Broncos in their home finale Dec 24, 2017

Show notes

Santa's three favorite elves — JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler — convene inside of FedEx Field for the last time this season to review Washington's satisfying win over the Denver. Included in this episode are discussions about how this win stacks up with the Redskins' other victories, the powerful duo that Ryan Kerrigan and Preston Smith have become and Josh Doctson's bizarre game. Plenty of game balls are tossed around, too, and a few go to members of the Broncos.

If Kirk Cousins leaves the Redskins this offseason, here are 8 QBs who could realistically replace him Dec 21, 2017

Show notes

From Heisman Trophy winners to a former Jay Gruden pupil, JP Finlay and Rich Tandler use the beginning of this podcast to break down eight realistic (sorry, Tony Romo and RG3 lovers) options who could replace Kirk Cousins should the Redskins lose him this offseason. After running through the list and grading the likelihood and potential of each passer, the episode transitions into an interview with long snapper Nick Sundberg, who is doing an incredible service to the community this season you need to hear about.

Does Josh Doctson deserve more time to grow or does he deserve more criticism for his inconsistency? Dec 20, 2017

Show notes

This pod's a crowded one, as JP Finlay and Rich Tandler were kind enough to invite Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey on-board. The 3.5 voices (Pete's muted for much of it) start by discussing how the Redskins' offensive issues are beginning to really affect Kirk Cousins and then debate whether now is the time to seriously question Josh Doctson's production. Next, they move on into an interesting hypothetical involving Kirk Cousins and Zach Brown and close with a chat on Redskins great Nate Sudfeld.

Jay Gruden and the Redskins can exhale after squeaking by the Cardinals at home Dec 17, 2017

Other notable parts of the episode: The trio channel their inner Charles Barkley while talking about Blaine Gabbert, get a bit critical of Josh Doctson even after the W and constantly find themselves sidetracked because of Tandler's grumpy comments.
