Evaluating the Ronald Darby signing — how much can he help? — and having a Dwayne Haskins talk Mar 30, 2020

Show notes

The Redskins added Ronald Darby on Sunday, so that's where JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin in this new Redskins Talk. The hosts all like the move, but to varying degrees, so they discuss the corner's future in DC as well as how he fits into the team's secondary. Then, before moving onto their next football topic, JP makes an announcement that Redskins Talk supporters will (hopefully) be pumped about. Afterward, the three touch on an Austin Hooper tidbit and Washington's overall class of free agents before discussing Dwayne Haskins and wondering why it feels like him breaking out is being totally ignored. If you like podcasts where you get a Greg Manusky update as well as insight into what JP, Mitch and Pete are watching these days, then this is the episode for you.

Providing context to the Trent Williams Saga as it escalates and reacting to Haskins *basically* being named starter Mar 26, 2020

Show notes

The Trent Williams Saga has gotten even saga-ier this week, so JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Redskins Talk by jumping right into that. What do they make of Trent's agent's statement, what is Washington really asking for in return for the lineman and why is this so hard to pull off? The hosts run through all of those angles and more, which includes some sourced info from JP. Then, eventually, they get to Ron Rivera's radio interview where he pretty much named Dwayne Haskins the Redskins starter, which leads Pete to present something that he feels isn't being considered enough. If you like podcasts where the trend of making mafia references is continued thanks to Mitch and Pete comes up with a JP-approved analogy for what's going on with Trent, then this is the episode for you.

EMERGENCY POD: Analyzing the Quinton Dunbar trade, the Kyle Allen trade and Montae Nicholson's release Mar 24, 2020

Show notes

The Redskins were busy on Monday, which means the Redskins Talk crew had to convene for an EMERGENCY POD, which starts with JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey's analysis on the trade of Quinton Dunbar. Why did they make the move now and why didn't they get more? The trio explains the end to a wacky saga. Then, JP, Mitch and Pete each have a chance to give their thoughts on Kyle Allen's arrival (16:36), the cost to get him, what it means for Dwayne Haskins and more. Your favorite team doesn't trade for a QB often, so be sure to listen to all of that. Then, to close, they react to the release of Montae Nicholson, as Washington has opted to build their defense without him. If you like podcasts where you get instant analysis to three interesting transactions as well as unplanned sports analogies that are used to grade the Allen trade, then this is the episode for you.

Assessing whether the Redskins should and will trade Quinton Dunbar, and laying out some quarterback theories Mar 23, 2020

Show notes

Here's a fresh new Redskins Talk to keep your spirits up, and one that starts with a long discussion about Quinton Dunbar. Washington is reportedly now shopping the corner, so JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey chat about whether they believe he should be move, whether he'll ultimately be moved and what this could mean for Ron Rivera as he tries to rebuild the franchise. Eventually, they get to two QB theories from JP, one involving Tua and one involving Cam, which Mitch and Pete get to react to. If you like podcasts where you learn about JP's shaving schedule and things get oddly political at a few points, then this is the episode for you.

THE CAM POD: Could Cam Newton to the Redskins really happen? Plus, grades on all the signings so far Mar 19, 2020

Show notes

There's no better way to celebrate the start of a new NFL league year than with this Redskins Talk, which features plenty of Cam Newton talk. JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey wonder whether the Panthers QB could be coming to Washington as well as why there's so much support for Dwayne Haskins in town already to begin. After that long segment, the guys then grade each of the Redskins' signings so far, including Kendall Fuller, Sean Davis and Wes Schweitzer (whom Mitch is surprisingly cold on). And to close, they take out their imaginary chips and decide how much to place on Cam reuniting with Ron in D.C. If you like podcasts where you get rapid fire thoughts on all of Washington's new players as well as some insight into JP and Mitch's video game careers, then this is the episode for you.

FREE AGENCY POD 2: Reacting to the Redskins swinging and missing on Amari Cooper but signing Kendall Fuller Mar 17, 2020

Show notes

Hours after recording their first Redskins Talk of free agency, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey felt the need to get back online to post another because so much changed so quickly. So, this Redskins Talk has the most up-to-date NFL info for you, starting with Washington missing out on Amari Cooper. How devastating was it for them to try so hard for the wideout only to see him land in Dallas? The guys discuss, and disagree a little. The three (sleep-deprived) hosts also react to Kendall Fuller agreeing to return to the Redskins, the crazy Stefon Diggs trade, Austin Hooper intending to sign with the Browns and, finally, wonder what's going on with Trent Williams. If you like podcasts that have complex analogies comparing the Redskins' pursuit of Cooper to a night out at the bar and also use the words "gut punch" way too much, then this is the episode for you.

FREE AGENCY POD 1: The NFL goes nuts while the Redskins remain mostly quiet — but stay patient Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

In addition to that, they react to Ereck Flowers leaving, the DeAndre Hopkins news and wonder whether Amari Cooper or Stefon Diggs could be joining the Burgundy and Gold soon. If you like podcasts where your hosts try their best to calm you down and also give an update on how they're handling quarantine life, then this is the episode for you.

Discussing a Trent-to-Cleveland trade with a Browns expert and looking at Virginia's chances for a new Redskins stadium Mar 09, 2020

Show notes

This new Redskins Talk has updates on two of the biggest non-Chase Young storylines surrounding the team, and that's Trent Williams and a potential new stadium. First, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey welcome on Mary Kay Cabot, the foremost Browns reporter around, to discuss Cleveland's level of interest in Williams. That segment includes her thoughts on what the Browns would want to give up for the tackle, which is where names like Odell Beckham Jr. and David Njoku are mentioned. After that, the three hosts call up Michael Phillips (13:17) so he can explain how Virginia may have put themselves in a better position to land the Redskins' next stadium this past weekend. Phillips, as always, delivers strong insight on what's going on in the Commonwealth. If you like podcasts where the guys reflect on their preseason Cleveland trip and also get riled up for the thought of legalized betting, then this is the episode for you.

Reacting to major Trent Williams news, identifying possible TE & CB additions and having a Chris Thompson discussion Mar 05, 2020

Show notes

UPDATE!!! (THURSDAY 6:15 PM) - There’s a major development in the Trent Williams situation, so JP and Pete hopped back into the studio to give you all that info. It’s juicy stuff. Afterward, you’ll get the following audio... This Redskins Talk begins by taking a look at two of the Redskins' biggest offseason needs in tight end and corner. So, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey discuss plenty of things related to those two spots, including whether the team should prioritize James Bradberry or Austin Hooper should it come to that, some alternative corner options on the market and a Day 2 draft target at T.E. After that segment, JP brings up Chris Thompson and the hosts wonder why there's so little chatter about his potential exit from Washington. And to close, you'll hear an interview with Rich "Big Daddy" Salgado (33:07), who's an incredibly plugged in person when it comes to the league. If you like podcasts where Pete botches but then saves himself when it comes to knowing a literature reference and you get the next date for a live recording of Redskins Talk, then this is the episode for you.
