Ep 663Wondering how legit the Allen Robinson trade market is and deciding what in the opener was real and what was fake

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back in a parking lot for this Washington Football Talk, and they begin by looking at Washington's wideouts. That quickly leads into a discussion about Allen Robinson — would he fit with the Burgundy and Gold, should they try to get him and is there even really a chance for them to get him? After finishing that segment up, they move into a game of Real or Fake, as they try to figure out what parts of the opening win are going to continue and which parts won't. To close things out, they each decide whether they want to adjust their season record predictions based on Week 1 and then debut one of JP's best ideas ever.

Ep 658Kyle Brandt, the other half of that controversial Kirk Cousins interview, reacts to Kirk's thoughts (and covers other topics, too)

The Washington Football Talk pod prides itself on being timely, and few shows in our history will be as timely as this. Kirk Cousins is making major news with his opinion on the coronavirus and mask-wearing, and the person he delivered those opinions to, Kyle Brandt, was kind enough to join this operation to explain his interview with the QB. In Brandt's mind, people aren't paying attention to their entire back-and-forth. Allow him to expand. While Brandt's on, he also takes time to explain what he thinks the best-case season is for Washington and absolutely nails the franchise's ice cream flavor equivalent. In all, he was wildly entertaining.

Those three join JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey for another extravaganza in what's now officially a tradition for this show. During their hour-plus chat, the hosts asks the players about how weird camp was, Chase Young's ridiculously impressive frame, Dustin's equally impressive frame (at least in the eyes of JP), Ron Rivera's courage and consistency, who's going to break out this year and how much they'll miss the fans. As usual, the specialists were open, candid and hilarious, so you'll absolutely enjoy this one from start to finish. If you like podcasts where you get an exclusive look at all the things that piss Nick Sundberg off and where Tress Way explains a recent coronavirus test gone wrong, 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.

Ep 634Interviews with Andrew Brandt, Eleanor Holmes Norton and Kenneth Shropshire about the Redskins' name

The bulk of this Redskins Talk is made up of three expert interviews, all of which look at the Redskins and their name from various angles. Andrew Brandt joins JP Finlay to discuss whether it's possible for the team to really make this dramatic switch before 2020 starts, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton answers JP's questions about how this all impacts RFK Stadium. And lastly, the distinguished Kenneth Shropshire (who seems to know everything about sports business) gives insight on how merchandising and other aspects could be affected in the coming months. Then, at the end, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey pop up to discuss some Brandon Scherff news and how likely it is that the Redskins will try to acquire David Njoku.

Ep 633THE POTENTIAL NAME CHANGE POD: How long will the Redskins be the Redskins, and what could they become if they do change?

The hurricane winds are blowing, as JP Finlay says at the start of this Redskins Talk, and those winds could result in the franchise changing its name. That topic, of course, is all that JP, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey really focus on for this pod, which comes after a weekend of constant breaking news related to the Redskins. So, do the three really believe Washington will go by a new name? What could that new name be? And what would the consequences of such a dramatic decision be? There's no point in delaying things any longer; just start listening to all of their thoughts now.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 630LIVE OURISMAN POD: Debating topics like whom McLaurin's sidekick will be and which position group is most concerning

This Redskins Talk was recorded at Ourisman Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Alexandria, which made JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey quite happy. You wouldn't be able to tell, though, with the way JP and Mitch begin things (by getting into a bit of a tiff). Once they stop bickering, however, a fun edition of Redskins Talk ensues, where the trio cover all sorts of things, including: 1) Whom Terry McLaurin's sidekick at receiver will be, 2) Which way the Redskins would go at QB in 2021 *if* Dwayne Haskins has problems, 3) Which position group is the most concerning and 4) JP's unfortunate bee sting and lawn problems. If you like podcasts where you hear what JP, Mitch and Pete's jobs would be if they weren't covering the Redskins and you also hear about Mitch getting lost before this was recorded, 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.

Ep 629Should the Redskins retire more numbers, and if so, whose? Plus, a debate on how many sacks the defense will get

For this Redskins Talk, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey returned to their park and, after a few important announcements and promotions, discussed whether the team should retire more numbers, and which players have numbers that are worth retiring. They all have varying opinions on the matter, which made for intriguing back-and-forths. Eventually, the hosts then looked ahead to 2020 and wondered how many sacks the revamped defense could rack up. Is finishing first in the NFL in that category a wild thought or actually possible? If you like podcasts where you get some sprinkled-in analysis on a random pickup basketball game that was happening by the guys' picnic table and the word "shoelace" is ruined for you forever, 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.

Ep 628Sifting through our mailbag to answer questions on Scherff and cap space, and having a chat about Rivera choosing the Redskins

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey haven't opened their mailbag in a while (read: months), so in this Redskins Talk, the guys decided to fix that and answer questions they hadn't gotten to yet. The segments starts out with some random inquiries and spam, but once things get moving, some interesting discussions follow. Among those discussions is the idea of moving Brandon Scherff to left tackle and what Washington can do with all their cap space. Eventually, JP poses a question of his own: Why did Ron Rivera choose the Burgundy and Gold instead of the handful of other jobs that he could've taken? The trio cover that before finishing things off with some — surprise — golf content. If you like podcasts where Mitch describes the new artwork on his walls and JP commends Pete for being able to read simple words, 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.

Ep 626JP, Mitch and Pete hold discussions about Daron Payne, Ryan Anderson, the new defensive staff and more

For the first time in months/years/decades, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were in the same physical location for a recording of Redskins Talk, and this one bounces around between a lot of defense-focused conversations (as well as some largely un-focused conversations, too). After catching up, the guys wonder if Daron Payne is the most talented D-lineman on the team, then look at the franchise potentially trading Ryan Anderson. After that, they wonder how much of a difference the new defensive staff will make in 2020 before closing with rapid-fire analysis on all of Washington's upcoming position battles that will take place this summer.

Ep 625Chris Simms explains why Dwayne Haskins is so low in his QB rankings and what Haskins must do to climb upwards

This is a really fun Redskins Talk, and it kicks off with an interview with NBC Sports' Chris Simms. In that interview, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey ask Simms why he put Dwayne Haskins so low (39th out of 40th, to be precise) in his annual QB rankings. The analyst explains how he arrived to that conclusion, whether he'd want Dwayne, Kyle Allen or Cam Newton for 2020 and even gives a superb breakdown of the second-year pro's mechanics. In all, it's a very enlightening segment and you'll learn a lot from it. Once Simms heads out, JP, Mitch and Pete return to recap this week's Zoom calls with Haskins and Ron Rivera, both of which were very impressive, and then close by catching up on Pete the Property Manager's recent exploits.

Ep 624JP, Mitch and Pete compare their best-to-worst rankings of the Redskins' position groups

Before getting into their individual rankings of the Redskins' position groups, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Redskins Talk with a few smaller items, such as chatting about JP's mileage of late, the hotel points they're all going to lose out on now that training camp in Richmond isn't happening and their new, special Facebook Live show that debuts this week, which you must tune in for. After all that, they then run through all 10 of the Burgundy and Gold's offensive and defensive position groups and rank those 10 spots from best to worst. The top of their lists all look similar, but after that, there's some parsing and disagreeing. Quarterback, receiver and cornerback were three of the more contentious ones up for debate. Then, to close, JP gives an important update on the "Who'll get married first, Mitch or Pete?" discussion. If you like podcasts where JP is especially wound up and Pete gets yelled at for thinking Ronald Darby may be an OK player, 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.

Ep 623ESPN's Kimberley Martin gives her thoughts on what's happening in America, then looks ahead to the Redskins' 2020 season

After that segment, the three hosts go around the horn asking Martin for her take on the Redskins, from why she thinks Dwayne Haskins will be graded unfairly this year to what qualifies as a successful 2020 in Washington.
