2021 CAMP, DAY 16: What's the appropriate amount of concern about Washington's starting offense? Aug 23, 2021

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey battled through both heat and lawn mower noises to record this Washington Football Talk (aren't they heroic?). To start, the guys react to Steven Sims being cut and what that means for the receiver group overall. From there, they each assess what the first-team offense has done so far and then describe their level of worry; the host who's most concerned may surprise you. After that, JP and Pete share differing opinions about Troy Apke's performance and outlook. If you like podcasts where Pete shares one of his dad's favorite sayings and there's complaining about a very specific baseball quirk, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Jaret Patterson takes it to the Bengals but the first-team offense sputters a bit at FedEx Field Aug 21, 2021

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are coming at you from a classic undisclosed location at FedEx Field, where they watched Washington battle with the Bengals in the second week of the 2021 preseason. To open the show, the guys hype up Jaret Patterson, who's now a full-on story as opposed to a cute little training camp story. From there, they analyze the first-team offense and their somewhat disappointing effort versus Cincy, listen as Mitch discusses how the offensive line performed and recap Over/Unders, 100 Chips and Game Balls and GOATs. Once they wrap there, things close out with JP's 1-on-1 interviews with Antonio Gibson and Patterson, two chats that are quite fun. If you like podcasts where Pete chooses to apologize to JP after something that happened in the last installment of this program and you get to hear directly from Washington's star of the preseason so far, then this is the episode for you.

PRESEASON GAME 2 PREVIEW: Will the matchup with Cincy be a high-scoring night for the Washington offense? Aug 19, 2021

Show notes

Washington's second preseason game of the year calls for Washington Football Talk's second game preview pod of the year. To begin, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get you up to speed on who'll be out/likely miss the team's matchup with the Bengals on Friday before going through what would constitute a successful outing for the Burgundy and Gold as well as their usual 100 Chips segment. After that, and after JP explains his daughter's remix to Rock-Paper-Scissors, the crew set their Over/Unders for the week (and add in not one but two wild card options). If you like podcasts where Mitch goes out of his way to insult a random person from his past and Pete goes out of his way to do a horrific Boston accent, then this is the episode for you.

2021 CAMP, DAY 15: Covering the kicking issue and Dustin Hopkins' future, plus a 1-on-1 with Brandon Scherff Aug 17, 2021

Show notes

JP Finlay (via Bluetooth), Mitch Tischler (via Zoom) and Pete Hailey (via Zoom) used the magic of modern-day technology to record this Washington Football Talk, which commences with a lot of kicking coverage. The guys describe how alarmed they are about what's going on with Dustin Hopkins and Co., whether they'd be bringing in competition right now and much more. After that, they discuss Kyle Allen and Taylor Heinicke and also run through their One Thing segment, where Mitch brings up a star who probably needs more attention. From there, they say goodbye and pass you off to JP's 1-on-1 with Brandon Scherff, who answers questions about how he introduces himself to people, how Sam Cosmi is fitting in and what it's like facing a very chirp-y defensive line. If you like podcasts where JP pulls off a sweet traffic maneuver live during the show and a moment between Pete and Ryan Fitzpatrick during Fitz's presser is closely analyzed, then this is the episode for you.

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were all in separate places on Sunday, but fortunately, they banded together again on Monday, meaning there's another Washington Football Talk ready for your ears. After Mitch quickly recaps all of the important stuff he saw during Sunday's session, the guys discuss the release of Kelvin Harmon as well as who they see grabbing the last wideout spot on the 53-man roster, analyze whether Jaret Patterson is really pushing for a place of his own and take stock once more of who's rising and who's falling at tight end. From there, some serious shtick ensues before they toss to JP's 1-on-1 with Kam Curl, who explains how he's feeling for Year 2 now that his place on the depth chart is much more solid and knowing that he'll be playing in front of fans all season long. If you like podcasts where JP wins a Name Characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe Contest, then this is the episode for you.

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey couldn't be more thrilled (and sleep deprived) as they bring you the first postgame pod of the 2021 season. As the guys break down what happened in Washington's preseason opener in New England, you'll hear Pete explain why it was the ideal start for the team, JP describe an electric postgame scene and Mitch give serious praise to a youngster in his favorite position group. The guys also, as is tradition, pass out Game Balls, Hat Tips, Can Kicks and GOATs to those who thrived and who struggled. And once the trio says goodbye, you'll get JP's 1-on-1 interviews with Jaret Patterson and Landon Collins, two players who were very happy with Thursday's events for different reasons. If you like podcasts where Mitch compares one Washington skill player to a pillow and you're taken inside JP's battle with his rental car, then this is the episode for you.

PRESEASON GAME 1 PREVIEW: What to watch in Washington's tilt vs. the Pats, and interviews with Logan Thomas & Sam Cosmi Aug 11, 2021

Show notes

Pssstt...... the Burgundy and Gold are playing football soon, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to preview exactly that. To begin, the hosts each choose something they're going to be scrutinizing when Washington takes on the Patriots on Thursday night, and after realizing that they all chose an offense-related item, they then do the same but for the defense. After that, they go through a rapid fire segment where JP throws out players and the guys predict whether said player will appear for over or under 9.5 snaps in New England. After that, you'll get JP's two sitdowns with Logan Thomas and Sam Cosmi, both of which are enjoyable. If you like podcasts where you get a totally unnecessary Reuben Foster update and JP gives advice for a very certain area of life, then this is the episode for you.

2021 CAMP, DAY 12: Notes from Monday's practice and an in-depth breakdown of Washington's first depth chart Aug 09, 2021

Show notes

This Washington Football Talk has two portions, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to guide you through both. The first piece has to do with what went down at Monday's practice, as each host gives their One Thing that stood out to them, which in part features a recap of a great Brandon Scherff block. Then, the trio reacts to Washington's first unofficial depth chart, which they say is something that doesn't matter a ton before examining it for more than 20 minutes. If you like podcasts where JP breaks down the wide receiver race by using a metaphor that has to do with frozen bodies of water and there's an argument over where everyone stands when it comes to their excitement over a backup linebacker, then this is the episode for you.

In this next camp show, the guys break down Ryan Fitzpatrick's progress, Dyami Brown's continued streak of good play, a concerning update from Ron about Curtis Samuel, what to expect in the preseason opener, what's going on at left guard, Jimmy Moreland's place on the squad and more. Once they say goodbye, say hello to JP's 1-on-1 with Jonathan Allen, who tells JP what he cares about as a defensive tackle and what mindset the franchise has moving forward. If you like podcasts where JP fights through multiple visits from insects and there's a segment filled with random shoutouts, then this is the episode for you.

As the guys review Washington's Friday Night Football Event at the club's home stadium, you'll hear them describe the pleasant vibe inside what's normally an unpleasant place, update you on an important player's injury situation, bring up one thriving corner you've likely never heard of and much, much more. You'll also get JP's 1-on-1 with Antonio Gibson, who goes deep on both football topics and non-football topics, like the Russell Westbrook trade and how he's handling being a father. If you like podcasts where JP criticizes Mitch's performance in their recent failed chest bump and the hosts persevere through many distractions, then this is the episode for you.
