Beltway Football

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Washington Football Talk with a major announcement, one that JP promised on Twitter the night before. After that hoopla, the guys get serious as they wonder whether the win over Tampa is the start of something or if it'll prove to be nothing. From there, they're given a chance to explain whether their opinions of Taylor Heinicke have changed at all of late and also run through an injury report from Wednesday as well as their usual pregame segments like 100 Chips, Over/Unders and Benjamin Franklin while also discussing Cam Newton's influence on Sunday. And lastly, you'll hear JP's 1-on-1 with DeAndre Carter, where JP gets Carter to open up on his surprising role on the offense and whom he personally plays for every Sunday. If you like podcasts where the guys identify a random ex-Panther who'll be participating in a revenge game this weekend and JP's very scary hands are mentioned, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Finally, the Washington FootbaLL TaLk podcast is the WWWWWashington Football Talk podcast again, thanks to an awesome game on Sunday. JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are very thrilled to bring some positive analysis your way for this installment, and they start with their general reactions to the major upset before getting into more specific storylines. Of course, they cover the Chase Young injury, the one thing that didn't go Washington's way in Week 10, and discuss how much he'll be missed the rest of the way. After that, they continue with some Joey Slye appreciation, cop to things they were super wrong on (including Mitch's shutout prediction) and hand out a plethora of Game Balls. And to close, you'll get JP's 1-on-1s with Jonathan Allen and Taylor Heinicke, which are two very fun conversations. If you like podcasts where JP compares himself to Tom Brady in numerous areas and the guys explain their drink of choice for Sunday evening, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey bring you this Friday edition of Washington Football Talk, which starts with their take on Chase Young's Thursday press conference with reporters. Is there trouble brewing between Young and Ron Rivera? After that, the guys hit their pregame segments ahead of the Tampa matchup, with one host predicting an especially depressing result for Sunday. Lastly, you'll hear JP's 1-on-1 with Kendall Fuller, who discusses if this season is giving him deja vu from past poor Washington seasons. If you like podcasts where Mitch puts 1 chip down on a +2500 bet, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are oddly fired up to see each other, which translates over to this edition of the Washington Football Talk podcast. To begin, the three give you good news on Sam Cosmi and Brandon Scherff, bad news on Logan Thomas and the same damn news about Curtis Samuel. From there, Pete introduces a theory he has about Ron Rivera, which JP sorta buys in to but requests more proof for his line of thinking as well. Next, each host lists one thing they'd like to see over the club's final nine games, and then they explain something related to Taylor Heinicke's sweatshirt. And to close, JP, Mitch and Pete touch on Kyle Allen before going in depth on their respective bye weeks. If you like podcasts where three non-French speakers try to speak French and JP passes on quite a giraffe story, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have one more Washington Football Talk for you before hitting their bye weeks. To start, the trio give their thoughts on the team's inactive trade deadline before delving into those Mitch Trubisky rumors that surfaced on Tuesday afternoon. After that, they provide quick updates on Logan Thomas, Brandon Scherff and Curtis Samuel. Then, they toss to JP's most recent 1-on-1 with Ron Rivera, where the coach is able to answer questions on some more overall, big-picture topics (as well as why he's sticking with Chris Blewitt). If you like podcasts where you learn about Mitch being ordained and Pete's upcoming fancy weekend, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to, as Mitch so eloquently puts it, recap yet another "poop pie." Washington went to see the Broncos in Week 8, lost its fourth straight and nothing looks too great. During this Washington Football Talk, the hosts look ahead to the bleak future, look back on the defeat in Denver and say a lot of things that require bleeping. They also assess how confident they are in Ron Rivera being the man to lead this franchise going forward and wonder if Washington will sell some well-known names at the trade deadline. To close, JP and Mitch test out peanut butter sandwiches in an end-of-show treat. If you like podcasts where Pete makes a Chris Blewitt-related promise and JP references Carlos Rogers, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey kick off this Washington Football Talk with a few smaller topics before getting into one major topic and then closing the proceedings out with a few more smaller topics. At the start, they look at the NFC playoff picture — yes, the NFC playoff picture — and where Washington fits before debating which injured player's absence has been the most harmful. Then, it's major topic time, and that major topic is Deshaun Watson. Should the Burgundy and Gold pursue him or is he off limits? Not surprisingly, there's a lot to unpack there. And then to wrap up, the hosts hit their 100 Chips, Over/Unders and Benjamin Franklin segments before tossing to JP's 1-on-1 with Jamin Davis, where the rookie explains how the game is beginning to slow down for him. If you like podcasts where JP reveals his new retirement dream and there's a totally bizarre junkyard/bed analogy, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are thankful for anyone who chooses to listen to this Washington Football Talk after the club's third-straight loss on the season. In this installment, the guys grow further agitated with the current state of the franchise they cover, the future direction of the franchise they cover and the apparent acceptance of mediocrity by those within they franchise they cover. After all of that concludes, JP talks to one of the few parts about this organization that's good: Terry McLaurin. If you like podcasts where both King Henry VIII and Garth Brooks are name-checked, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is a large and in charge Washington Football Talk featuring JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey, and it begins with analysis of a major move at kicker. Was this the right time to release Dustin Hopkins, why is Chris Blewitt the one to replace him and what message does it send to the rest of the team? All of those things and more are discussed in that segment. After the trio wraps that up, they catch you up on the numerous injuries affecting the offense and take a moment to reflect on how different this Sunday's lineup could be from the lineup that coaches imagined they'd have leading up to 2021. Pete also explains some mixed messaging that's going on for Taylor Heinicke. Eventually, JP, Mitch and Pete preview the Packers game — warning: They aren't that thrilled about it — before tossing to JP's 1-on-1 with Taylor Heinicke from Wednesday (where JP talks to him about his Matrix analogy for the QB and Taylor remembers his late father) and Ron Rivera from Monday. If you like podcasts where you're informed of a sweet piece of memorabilia that's now available for the very reasonable price of $20 and the hosts once again lament that they aren't covering a quality franchise, then this is the episode for you. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hopefully this Washington Football Talk is more memorable than the Burgundy and Gold's loss to the Chiefs. JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get things started by passing on an interesting note about Mitch's tie and then falling into a rabbit hole of sadness about the state of the franchise and the direction its going. That then leads into more down discussions about the faith each host has that Washington will make 2021 a positive season. Eventually, they go through their usual postgame staples, Mitch gives you a rousing update on DeAndre Carter and, to close, you'll hear JP's 1-on-1s with Chase Young and Sean Taylor's father, Pedro, plus a great mashup of guys like Joe Gibbs, Santana Moss, Ed Reed and Reggie Wayne reminiscing about Sean over the years that Mitch put together. If you like podcasts where JP relays an unbelievable story about something he thought was real but actually wasn't and Pete gives it his all after a long wedding weekend, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have quite a bit to discuss on this particular Washington Football Talk. Unfortunately, as usual, the first topic doesn't have to do with the upcoming matchup, but rather the club's horrific handling of Sean Taylor's jersey retirement. Following a tremendous intro by JP, the three hosts spend the first 15 minutes or so of the show bashing the Burgundy and Gold for botching something that should've been so easy and so celebratory. After getting that out of their systems, the trio turns their attention back to football, which includes segments on whether this weekend's meeting with the Chiefs will actually stay close (Mitch thinks so) and if the current message that Ron Rivera is emphasizing is the wrong one (Pete thinks so). Then comes the typical pregame segments and an adult question from Pete that he poses to his two adult cohosts. And lastly, things close with JP going 1-on-1 with Chase Young and Ron Rivera (the Young chat happened on Wednesday, while the Rivera interview came on Monday). If you like podcasts where Mitch makes a ridiculous claim (even by his standards) and JP quotes both "Of Mice and Men" and Bane, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are flummoxed, once again, by the Washington Football Team, who dropped a very winnable contest on Sunday vs. the Saints. The guys discuss the disastrous defense again as well as what changes they'd like to see on that unit. They also recap the horrific Hail Mary, which was horrific. From there, they run through Game Balls and Goats and 100 Chips before looking ahead at the brutal schedule to come. They also laugh a lot, because what else is there to do? If you like podcasts where JP informs Mitch that Mitch is not "his type" and there's a completely random callback to an old Albert Pujols home run, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's almost time to welcome the Saints, so JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have a preview of New Orleans vs. Washington for you right here. To begin, the guys look at Washington's lengthy list of injuries and give their leans on who's playing and who isn't. That leads to a discussion about Curtis Samuel specifically. After that, the trio discuss Taylor Heinicke and whether Heinicke's sample size is big enough to start truly buying in. From there, you'll get the classic pregame segments (featuring a tweaked version of 100 Chips) and, lastly, JP's 1-on-1 with JD McKissic, who discusses his huge performance vs. the Falcons, his fantastic blitz pickups and where "JD" came from. If you like podcasts where JP opens up with a "miraculous" intro and things close out with decreasingly useful stats, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This might be the craziest topic behind an Emergency Pod in Washington Football Talk history, as JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to explain and react to Monday's news that WFT head trainer Ryan Vermillion is at the center of a criminal investigation involving federal law enforcement. JP, who helped break the story, sets the scene with all that he knows, and then the trio comments from there. After they're through, JP then talks to Ron Rivera, who endorses Vermillion in one respect before reviewing the Falcons game and other football topics even further. If you like podcasts where Mitch comes up with a new Ashburn-related slogan and JP gives some background on his difficult journey to his interview with Rivera, then this is the episode for you.

.......Phew.... That sums up how JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey feel after Washington's Week 4 win in Atlanta, which was equal parts exciting and disheartening. To begin, the guys try to sort through their reactions, with Mitch coming across as quite optimistic, Pete on the opposite side and JP somewhere in the middle. From there, they recap Taylor Heinicke, JD McKissic, Terry McLaurin and DeAndre Carter's exploits as well as the defense's continued issues. You'll get the postgame staples like 100 Chips and Over/Unders after that, and then to close, you'll hear JP's two postgame interviews with McLaurin and Carter, two guys who have no idea how to describe what it's like playing with Heinicke but sure as hell enjoy it. If you like podcasts where JP gives a scathing hotel review and Pete celebrates his birthday by being weirdly grumpy, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's time for another preview installment of Washington Football Talk show, as JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get you geared up for the Burgundy and Gold's trip to Atlanta. To open it up, the guys explain the very pleasant news that Curtis Samuel is set to debut on Sunday, though one host is more skeptical than the others. The trio also has a debate about whether Antonio Gibson is set to have a very busy weekend. From there, they do their usual pregame segments (even though JP tries to erase one). And, lastly, they toss to JP's 1-on-1 with Kam Curl, who addresses the defense's cold start and his alma mater's phenomenal college campaign. If you like podcasts where JP passes on some wise homecoming advice and Pete undersells himself in his wildest dreams, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler have a midweek Washington Football Talk for you that begins with a Curtis Samuel update and then transitions into a chat about Taylor Heinicke's reaction to needing to be more of a "game manager." From there, the guys catch you up on an interesting comment that Ereck Flowers made about Antonio Gibson before tossing to two 1-on-1s, the first of which is JP and Terry McLaurin and the second of which is JP and Ron Rivera. Terry covers his thoughts on the defense as well as milk (yes, milk) while Ron assesses what he wants to see out of his QB after a rough Buffalo outing. If you like podcasts where one of the NFL's best skill players and one of the NFL's best podcast hosts describes their milk preferences, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to... commiserate with you after that disgusting display versus the Bills. In their recap of the Week 3 blowout, the hosts lament the defense's poor, poor effort, Taylor Heinicke's worst performance as a WFT QB, Chase Young's lack of involvement and more. As for the positives, well, there were no positives really, so they just keep harping on the negatives. If you like podcasts where JP gets annoyed by Mitch's attempted contributions to JP's writing and Pete's obsession with the Bills' stadium's name comes to light, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have a preview of Washington's first road trip of the season for you right here. To begin, the guys discuss the two keys for the Burgundy and Gold: Whether the defense will finally wake up and what to expect from Taylor Heinicke (the latter part leads into a back-and-forth about whether his injury history is being talked about too much). After chatting about those issues, the hosts run through their Over/Unders, 100 Chips and Benjamin Franklin segments before tossing to JP's 1-on-1 with Jonathan Allen. In that interview with Allen, you'll hear the defensive lineman get very candid about his contract extension and his unit's issues so far.

It's hard to agree on much in this world, but everyone here can agree that was not the ideal debut for Washington against the Chargers, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to talk about it. You'll get the guys' reactions to Ryan Fitzpatrick's injury, the defense's inability to get any sort of stop on third down, what the crowd was like at FedEx Field and more.

After that, the trio launches into their Over/Unders and 100 Chips segments (JP goes super wacky in the latter) and also debate how much FedEx Field's crowd can rattle Justin Herbert. They say goodbye at that point, and toss to two JP interviews you'll love: one of which is with Terry McLaurin(!!!), and the other of which is with Chargers reporter Daniel Popper. If you like podcasts where Mitch goes into one of his most unnecessary asides ever and Terry McLaurin displays his usual and amazing humility, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Get ready for one of the more special Washington Football Talks to exist, and that's saying something, because a LOT of Washington Football Talks exist. Anyways... this is a huge week for the show; Sep. 6 marked its five-year anniversary, and a few days from now, the man who started it all — JP Finlay — is celebrating a momentous birthday. So, in order to commemorate both events, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey rounded up a bunch of very important people to pay tribute to both the podcast as well as its Day 1 host.

It's just JP Finlay and Pete Hailey for this Washington Football Talk, and the two hosts tell you what their four eyes saw when it comes to Curtis Samuel's return to practice on Monday. Seriously, they go through everything they noticed and heard about the wideout. The second half of the show deals with the team's rookies, as JP and Pete each kick around who'll be the most noticeable first-year pro during Washington's early portion of the schedule.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey all survived cuts and are ready to finally start preparing for Week 1. After attending a "bonus" practice on Thursday, the guys convened to first chat about Ron Rivera's most recent update on Curtis Samuel. Pete is buying it more than his co-hosts. After that, they have a discussion about the practice squad and, finally, try to re-identify the reasons for their optimism about Washington's 2021 season.

The Washington Football Team's (initial) 53-man roster is set, and JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to run through every key takeaway about it.

The guys cover all of those topics and more, and then close it out with a note on Brandon Scherff. If you like podcasts where there's an uncomfortably long silence right at the top and Pete tries to be very journalism-y and falls flat on his face, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey watched... something that was supposed to resemble a football game on Saturday, and now they're here to talk about that thing. The guys discuss how much that blowout at the hands of the Ravens matters to them, recap the winners of 100 Chips and Over/Unders and, sadly, have to have another conversation about Dustin Hopkins. Once they conclude, you'll get two JP 1-on-1s; the first one features David Bada while the second is with Antonio Gandy-Golden. If you like podcasts where Mitch simply runs out of steam during one explanation and JP gets to go in-depth on one of his bigger pet peeves in sports, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the show, they (along with NBC's Chris Kerwin) pass along One Thing they learned over the past few weeks about the Burgundy and Gold, go through Over/Unders and 100 Chips (which leads to a deep conversation about whether 0 is an even or odd number) for the matchup with the Ravens and more.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey battled through both heat and lawn mower noises to record this Washington Football Talk (aren't they heroic?). To start, the guys react to Steven Sims being cut and what that means for the receiver group overall. From there, they each assess what the first-team offense has done so far and then describe their level of worry; the host who's most concerned may surprise you. After that, JP and Pete share differing opinions about Troy Apke's performance and outlook. If you like podcasts where Pete shares one of his dad's favorite sayings and there's complaining about a very specific baseball quirk, then this is the episode for you.2817.40See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are coming at you from a classic undisclosed location at FedEx Field, where they watched Washington battle with the Bengals in the second week of the 2021 preseason. To open the show, the guys hype up Jaret Patterson, who's now a full-on story as opposed to a cute little training camp story. From there, they analyze the first-team offense and their somewhat disappointing effort versus Cincy, listen as Mitch discusses how the offensive line performed and recap Over/Unders, 100 Chips and Game Balls and GOATs. Once they wrap there, things close out with JP's 1-on-1 interviews with Antonio Gibson and Patterson, two chats that are quite fun.

Washington's second preseason game of the year calls for Washington Football Talk's second game preview pod of the year. To begin, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get you up to speed on who'll be out/likely miss the team's matchup with the Bengals on Friday before going through what would constitute a successful outing for the Burgundy and Gold as well as their usual 100 Chips segment. After that, and after JP explains his daughter's remix to Rock-Paper-Scissors, the crew set their Over/Unders for the week (and add in not one but two wild card options). If you like podcasts where Mitch goes out of his way to insult a random person from his past and Pete goes out of his way to do a horrific Boston accent, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay (via Bluetooth), Mitch Tischler (via Zoom) and Pete Hailey (via Zoom) used the magic of modern-day technology to record this Washington Football Talk, which commences with a lot of kicking coverage. The guys describe how alarmed they are about what's going on with Dustin Hopkins and Co., whether they'd be bringing in competition right now and much more. After that, they discuss Kyle Allen and Taylor Heinicke and also run through their One Thing segment, where Mitch brings up a star who probably needs more attention. From there, they say goodbye and pass you off to JP's 1-on-1 with Brandon Scherff, who answers questions about how he introduces himself to people, how Sam Cosmi is fitting in and what it's like facing a very chirp-y defensive line.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were all in separate places on Sunday, but fortunately, they banded together again on Monday, meaning there's another Washington Football Talk ready for your ears. After Mitch quickly recaps all of the important stuff he saw during Sunday's session, the guys discuss the release of Kelvin Harmon as well as who they see grabbing the last wideout spot on the 53-man roster, analyze whether Jaret Patterson is really pushing for a place of his own and take stock once more of who's rising and who's falling at tight end. From there, some serious shtick ensues before they toss to JP's 1-on-1 with Kam Curl, who explains how he's feeling for Year 2 now that his place on the depth chart is much more solid and knowing that he'll be playing in front of fans all season long.
