So, do the three really believe Washington will go by a new name? What could that new name be? And what would the consequences of such a dramatic decision be?

LIVE OURISMAN POD: Debating topics like whom McLaurin's sidekick will be and which position group is most concerning Jun 25, 2020

Show notes

This Redskins Talk was recorded at Ourisman Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Alexandria, which made JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey quite happy. You wouldn't be able to tell, though, with the way JP and Mitch begin things (by getting into a bit of a tiff). Once they stop bickering, however, a fun edition of Redskins Talk ensues, where the trio cover all sorts of things, including: 1) Whom Terry McLaurin's sidekick at receiver will be, 2) Which way the Redskins would go at QB in 2021 *if* Dwayne Haskins has problems, 3) Which position group is the most concerning and 4) JP's unfortunate bee sting and lawn problems. If you like podcasts where you hear what JP, Mitch and Pete's jobs would be if they weren't covering the Redskins and you also hear about Mitch getting lost before this was recorded, then this is the episode for you.

Should the Redskins retire more numbers, and if so, whose? Plus, a debate on how many sacks the defense will get Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

For this Redskins Talk, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey returned to their park and, after a few important announcements and promotions, discussed whether the team should retire more numbers, and which players have numbers that are worth retiring. They all have varying opinions on the matter, which made for intriguing back-and-forths. Eventually, the hosts then looked ahead to 2020 and wondered how many sacks the revamped defense could rack up. Is finishing first in the NFL in that category a wild thought or actually possible? If you like podcasts where you get some sprinkled-in analysis on a random pickup basketball game that was happening by the guys' picnic table and the word "shoelace" is ruined for you forever, then this is the episode for you.

Sifting through our mailbag to answer questions on Scherff and cap space, and having a chat about Rivera choosing the Redskins Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey haven't opened their mailbag in a while (read: months), so in this Redskins Talk, the guys decided to fix that and answer questions they hadn't gotten to yet. The segments starts out with some random inquiries and spam, but once things get moving, some interesting discussions follow. Among those discussions is the idea of moving Brandon Scherff to left tackle and what Washington can do with all their cap space. Eventually, JP poses a question of his own: Why did Ron Rivera choose the Burgundy and Gold instead of the handful of other jobs that he could've taken? The trio cover that before finishing things off with some — surprise — golf content. If you like podcasts where Mitch describes the new artwork on his walls and JP commends Pete for being able to read simple words, then this is the episode for you.

JP, Mitch and Pete hold discussions about Daron Payne, Ryan Anderson, the new defensive staff and more Jun 15, 2020

Show notes

For the first time in months/years/decades, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were in the same physical location for a recording of Redskins Talk, and this one bounces around between a lot of defense-focused conversations (as well as some largely un-focused conversations, too). After catching up, the guys wonder if Daron Payne is the most talented D-lineman on the team, then look at the franchise potentially trading Ryan Anderson. After that, they wonder how much of a difference the new defensive staff will make in 2020 before closing with rapid-fire analysis on all of Washington's upcoming position battles that will take place this summer. If you like podcasts where Mitch has a verbal slip-up that make JP and Pete lose it, and podcasts where Pete's haircut and JP's skin get analyzed (too?) closely, then this is the episode for you.

Chris Simms explains why Dwayne Haskins is so low in his QB rankings and what Haskins must do to climb upwards Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

This is a really fun Redskins Talk, and it kicks off with an interview with NBC Sports' Chris Simms. In that interview, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey ask Simms why he put Dwayne Haskins so low (39th out of 40th, to be precise) in his annual QB rankings. The analyst explains how he arrived to that conclusion, whether he'd want Dwayne, Kyle Allen or Cam Newton for 2020 and even gives a superb breakdown of the second-year pro's mechanics. In all, it's a very enlightening segment and you'll learn a lot from it. Once Simms heads out, JP, Mitch and Pete return to recap this week's Zoom calls with Haskins and Ron Rivera, both of which were very impressive, and then close by catching up on Pete the Property Manager's recent exploits. If you like podcasts where JP nearly unravels before your eyes/ears and there's some talk about the guys returning to the casino, then this is the episode for you.

JP, Mitch and Pete compare their best-to-worst rankings of the Redskins' position groups Jun 07, 2020

Show notes

Before getting into their individual rankings of the Redskins' position groups, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Redskins Talk with a few smaller items, such as chatting about JP's mileage of late, the hotel points they're all going to lose out on now that training camp in Richmond isn't happening and their new, special Facebook Live show that debuts this week, which you must tune in for. After all that, they then run through all 10 of the Burgundy and Gold's offensive and defensive position groups and rank those 10 spots from best to worst. The top of their lists all look similar, but after that, there's some parsing and disagreeing. Quarterback, receiver and cornerback were three of the more contentious ones up for debate. Then, to close, JP gives an important update on the "Who'll get married first, Mitch or Pete?" discussion. If you like podcasts where JP is especially wound up and Pete gets yelled at for thinking Ronald Darby may be an OK player, then this is the episode for you.
