Post-Combine recap: What to make of these Tua-Redskins rumors as well as where Trent Williams stands Mar 02, 2020

Show notes

The boys have returned from the Combine and have lots of rumors to react to and explain, all of which are covered in this Redskins Talk. JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler reunited with Pete Hailey and the trio first dives into all the Tua-to-the-Redskins chatter. How much of it is to be believed and how much of it is just pre-draft bluster? Eventually, JP, Mitch and Pete break out the imaginary chips and place them on three outcomes: Washington takes Chase Young, Washington takes Tua or Washington trades down. Eventually, they transition from prospects to guys currently on the team, providing updates on where Trent Williams and Quinton Dunbar stand with the organization. And to close, JP explains a major moment that happened in his household. If you like podcasts that feature lots of Chuck E. Cheese banter and a little Dwight Eisenhower "analysis," then this is the episode for you.
