WEEK 3 POSTGAME POD: The Redskins should be absolutely embarrassed by their showing vs. the Bears Sep 24, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey all tried to keep their sanity in this Redskins Talk, and it was incredibly hard considering what happened at FedEx Field on Monday night. The guys start things off with some depressing quotes that JP found on the Internet and then get right to it, assailing the team's arrogance in their offensive schemes, Greg Manusky's defense and the ugly running game especially in the fourth quarter. Next, they try to figure out what should and will happen when it comes to making a switch at quarterback, head coach and defensive coordinator. It feels like some major moves could be coming. Eventually, they go through Game Balls and Goats, where they get even angrier. To close, they try to open up some fortune cookies to find some hope for the future, and not even that goes well. If you like podcasts where the hosts are just as furious as you are and everyone's on the verge of melting down at any given second, then this is the episode for you.

Is Monday night's game against the Bears absolutely a 'must-win'? Plus, 1-on-1 with Cole Holcomb Sep 19, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back (and in an odd undisclosed location) for this Redskins Talk. To begin, they catch you up on some roster moves and injury updates, including the arrival of a new pass rusher and what's going on with Quinton Dunbar. Then, they break out the imaginary poker chips when discussing Trent Williams' future, trying to figure out if he'll come back in October, November or never, or if he'll maybe get traded. Next, they ask whether Monday night's game against Chicago is a "must-win," which leads to a pretty giant fight when one host doesn't fully commit to it being one. Eventually, they quickly touch on Daniel Jones becoming the Giants starter and how it relates to Dwayne Haskins and give an update on the survivor pool. And finally, you'll get JP's 1-on-1 interview with Cole Holcomb, a rookie who's on fire to start and who has quite the connection to Bears QB Mitch Trubisky. If you like podcasts where the guys come up with a new motto and also passive aggressively get mad at Pete (and aggressive aggressively get mad at Mitch) then this is the episode for you.

Jay Gruden goes 1-on-1 to explain how he's keeping the Redskins together, plus JP's postgame chat with Adrian Peterson Sep 16, 2019

Show notes

This Redskins Talk begins with JP Finlay's exclusive Monday interview with Jay Gruden, and to start, JP asks the coach how he plans on keeping Washington together following their 0-2 start. JP also gets Gruden to open up on his thoughts about the team's conservative defensive game plan against Dallas as well as explain some pregame comments he made about Adrian Peterson's running style. Once Gruden's done, you'll hear JP's postgame chat with Peterson (12:15), who reflects on reaching yet another milestone but also on the team's disappointing start to the year. Lastly, to try and cheer you up, Pete's bit with Cowboys fans is tacked on, where he asks them questions about their "favorite team" and ends up exposing how little they know. If you like podcasts where you hear Gruden go in-depth on the defense you expect much more out of and also hear a Cowboys fan talk about how Mitch Tischler needs more time to develop on their roster, then this is the episode for you.

WEEK 2 POSTGAME POD: The Redskins defense looks completely lost again vs. Dallas as the team falls to a worrisome 0-2 Sep 15, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are already running out of words and it's only mid-September, but regardless, they're here to bring you yet another postgame podcast following a disappointing loss. Things get rowdy early, as the guys wonder what exactly is happening to this defense and whether Greg Manusky is the right man for this job. That leads into some more general analysis and anger about how this season has started and how the things that were supposed to be strengths aren't actually strengths. Eventually, they read off all of the ugly stats they can find just like they did in Week 1 before wondering if Manusky is coaching himself out of his role. Game Balls and Goats follow, which is heavy on Goats (duh) and then they recap their over/unders. Lastly, they address the listeners about something important. If you like podcasts where JP breaks out his "This Season Is Going To (Expletive) Flow Chart" and you get some random discussion about pets, then this is the episode for you.

Discussing the health of Reed, Guice and Allen and a fantastic 1-on-1 interview with Adrian Peterson Sep 11, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey come to you from a sizzling Ashburn for this Wednesday Redskins Talk. After promoting their upcoming event this Saturday at Old Towne Pet Resort, the guys go through all the injury news they have, including updates on Jordan Reed, Derrius Guice, Jonathan Allen, Montae Nicholson and Fabian Moreau. Some of those are more encouraging than others, so listen to them all. Next, they revisit the Trent Williams holdout. There was some thought he'd be back by now, but he still isn't. So, is this thing going to extend way into the season? Once that wraps, they toss to JP's exclusive 1-on-1 interview with Adrian Peterson, who touches on everything from his relationship with Jay Gruden to whether he thinks Trent will ever return. It's an interesting chat with a guy who's in a very interesting spot. If you like podcasts where JP likes Pete's 'Closing Time' remix but hates Pete and Mitch singing 'Happy Birthday' to him, then this is the episode for you.

WEEK 1 POSTGAME POD: Observations from the Redskins' fantastic start and dreadful finish in Philly Sep 09, 2019

Show notes

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here for their first postgame podcast of the season, and man, they have a lot to sort through. The guys get right to it, dropping a Charles Dickens reference and then looking back on what was such a promising first half and disappointing second half. What the hell happened? Eventually, they play a game in which they read off really depressing stats, which certainly won't cheer you up but does a good job explaining just how different the first and second 30 minutes were. After that, they dive in to the decision to keep Adrian Peterson inactive and also grade Case Keenum's debut. Lastly, they go through Game Balls and Goats, which leads to discussions about Terry McLaurin, Jay Gruden and the decision to let DeSean Jackson go a few years back, and also reveal the results of Over/Unders. If you like podcasts where Mitch and Pete get criticized for their styles of sitting and JP does live math successfully, then this is the episode for you.

SEASON PREVIEW POD: Predicting key over/unders for Redskins players as well as what their 2019 record will be Sep 06, 2019

Show notes

This is a GIANT Redskins Talk, and it should do a terrific job of getting you ready for the 2019 season. To start, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey, John Keim and Michael Phillips put their heads together for a season-long predictions discussion, after the success of last season's famous Grand Canyon pod. In it, the guys debate how many starts Dwayne Haskins will make, how many yards and TDs Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson will put up, how many sacks Ryan Kerrigan will have and more. Everyone's all over the place, and many of these predictions will look foolish in four months, but there's still plenty of solid info and back-and-forths to take in. After that, you get the annual MEGA POD portion of things (23:11), where everyone you care about, from reporters to analysts to personalities, predict what the Redskins' 2019 record will end up looking like. If you like podcasts that prep you for the next four months of your life better than anything, then this is absolutely the episode for you.
