Is a Dwayne Haskins breakout game coming vs. the Panthers? Plus, a chat on analytics and a Terry McLaurin 1-on-1 Nov 27, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and John Keim convened for this Thanksgiving Eve edition of Redskins Talk, and they covered a whole bunch of stuff. To start, they give their takeaways from Dwayne Haskins' press conference, which include how he addressed Selfiegate. Then, they move on to a discussion about whether a much-awaited breakout game is coming for the rookie QB this Sunday against the Panthers. Eventually, they turn to a chat about how the Redskins use (or, more accurately, don't exactly use) analytics, which is based off questions Keim and JP asked Bill Callahan. To close out their portion of the program, they touch on Josh Norman's role for these final five games as well as the possible end of Ryan Kerrigan's incredibly impressive consecutive games streak. And to finish out the pod, you'll get a JP and Terry McLaurin interview, where the wideout tells a story you'll love about how he took over at the end of the Lions win. If you like podcasts where Mitch mixes up two common cliches to make one bizarre one and Keim can't stop laughing for about a minute straight, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Recapping a thrilling win over the Lions while also explaining concerns about Dwayne Haskins Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are feeling mixed emotions in this Redskins Talk. To begin, they start off in a celebratory mood, as they enjoy the Redskins’ first home win in 13 months, a victory that featured excellent play from young receivers and a defense that came up clutch. Quickly, though, they transition from the "Era of Good Feelings" into more of an analytical approach, and have a long discussion about Dwayne Haskins. In that segment, they cover his accuracy problems as well as some maturity concerns, as they wonder whether they feel more or less encouraged about him following today. There’s a ton to unpack about the rookie, so pay attention to all of it. They then move onto JP’s report that Bill Callahan “ripped into” the Redskins the night before the game before closing with Game Balls & Goats and Over/Unders. If you like podcasts where a Sean Paul smash-hit makes an appearance off the top and JP totally outclasses Pete in an ad read, then this is the episode for you.

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to navigate you through a loaded Redskins Talk. To begin, the three hosts explain where Alex Smith is at in his recovery and wonder if there is any chance that he can factor into the team’s 2020 quarterback depth chart. Then, they provide an update on Adrian Peterson‘s health before getting into two stories Pete wrote this week, one about judging Dwayne Haskins and another about young players who may see more snaps soon. After, they toss to JP’s chat with Derrius Guice (23:57), who is as energetic and engaging as ever, before they wrap things up by interviewing ex-Lions receiver Herman Moore (38:50) in a call that starts with a preview of Sunday’s matchup before covering all sorts of other topics. If you like podcasts where Pete’s terrible bowling abilities are revealed and JP explains to Herman Moore how Moore impacted his childhood, then this is the episode for you.

Giving our thoughts on the very interesting Dwayne Haskins sideline video and JP’s 1-on-1 with Bill Callahan Nov 18, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Pete Hailey and John Keim get this Redskins Talk started by giving their thoughts on the Dwayne Haskins/offensive line sideline video that’s taken over Twitter. Was Haskins in the right? Why was the O-line so quiet? Those questions and more are answered in that segment. Then, you’ll get JP’s interview with Bill Callahan, where JP asks the coach for his thoughts on the rookie QB’s development on top of plenty of other things you’re surely wondering about. Lastly, because Washington isn’t providing any real victory podcasts these days, you’ll get a replay of an old one after a win over the Eagles from 2016, where the team was better and the conversation was actually fun. If you like podcasts where JP, Pete and Keim all get a little emo at once and you get a helping of Rich Tandler to make your Monday better, then this is the episode for you.

POSTGAME POD: Dwayne Haskins takes a step back vs. the Jets while the Redskins continue to bottom out Nov 18, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey feel like they’re stuck in a time warp because these postgame pods are all the same. In this one, which comes after the miserable loss to the Jets, the guys grade Dwayne Haskins, wonder how the defense can be so helpless and generally react to all of the bad football they’re witnessing these days. They also wonder if Bill Callahan has lost the locker room already in addition to going through their Game Balls & Goats and Over/Under segments. If you like podcasts where the trio delivers a strong golf analogy to describe Dwayne’s play and JP and Pete get super angry at Mitch for not really growing a mustache, then this is the episode for you.

A giant argument about Dwayne Haskins and catching up with the analyst who predicted a 2-14 Redskins season Nov 15, 2019

Show notes

This is one hell of a Friday Redskins Talk. To open, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey analyze where Dwayne Haskins is at going into his home debut before launching into a giant argument about whether the passer must throw for more than 200 yards on Sunday for the game to be a success. After that long, intense segment ends, you get JP's interview with Adam Rank (31:20), the NFL Network analyst who predicted Washington would finish the year 2-14. Rank was mocked this offseason, but he sure looks smart these days. If you like podcasts where the three hosts get as heated as they've ever been, then this is the episode for you.

Explaining the improvements in Dwayne Haskins and looking at why the Redskins will finally score a TD vs. the Jets Nov 14, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey finally found themselves in the same place again so they decided to record this Redskins Talk to celebrate. The opening portion of it deals with Dwayne Haskins, who had his first presser as starting QB on Wednesday. The hosts give you all you need to know from that presser and also have a broader talk about the ways in which Haskins seems more comfortable than he ever has. During that, though, a yelling match breaks out about expectations for Dwayne, so be ready. Then, there's a chat about Colin Kaepernick and why he doesn't fit in with Washington's plans. To wrap, Pete reads through an article he wrote that features 10 reasons the team will finally score a touchdown when they face the Jets, and JP and Mitch react to those reasons. If you like podcasts where the existence of quicksand is debated and something really, really, really cool happens at the end that makes JP sort of tear up, then this is the episode for you.

Chad Dukes and Barstool Nate, two diehard Redskins fans, explain what they're still rooting for this year Nov 08, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey welcome on two of the more passionate Redskins fans you'll find in media, Chad Dukes and Barstool Nate, for this edition of Redskins Talk. First, Dukes calls in, and during his time, he explains why it's so hard to root for Washington to lose even if that may be best for them long-term, runs through his best- and worst-case head coaching moves and also lays out why he wouldn't *hate* it if the team kept Bill Callahan in charge. Then, it's Nate's turn, and he also gets a chance to say what he's rooting for before talking about the lack of hope he's been feeling for quite some time in a segment many will be able to relate to. If you like podcasts where both guests are just as invested as you are and there's also some airplane seating discussion, then this is the episode for you.
