Ep 604The best tidbits from talking to some Redskins free agents and a chat with a Dolphins reporter about potential trades

A handful of Redskins free agents have had their chance to talk to the local media so far, so JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey start out this Redskins Talk by passing along the best bits of information from those conference calls.

Ep 603Evaluating the Ronald Darby signing — how much can he help? — and having a Dwayne Haskins talk

The Redskins added Ronald Darby on Sunday, so that's where JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin in this new Redskins Talk.

Then, before moving onto their next football topic, JP makes an announcement that Redskins Talk supporters will (hopefully) be pumped about. Afterward, the three touch on an Austin Hooper tidbit and Washington's overall class of free agents before discussing Dwayne Haskins and wondering why it feels like him breaking out is being totally ignored.

The hosts run through all of those angles and more, which includes some sourced info from JP. Then, eventually, they get to Ron Rivera's radio interview where he pretty much named Dwayne Haskins the Redskins starter, which leads Pete to present something that he feels isn't being considered enough.

Ep 572Three things to care about in Redskins-Cowboys and discussing the likelihood (or lack thereof) of Bruce Allen staying in charge

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are well-rested after the holiday and back with a present for you: a new Redskins Talk. To begin, they each identify one storyline to care about in Redskins-Cowboys, a game that really doesn't matter much, at least in regards to the outcome. Then, they enter a Bill Callahan conversation, wondering if there's any chance he returns as the head coach in 2020. That leads into another Bruce Allen chat, where the hosts try to put percentages on the likelihood of Bruce Allen keeping his same position, receiving a new position or being forced out entirely. Once they wrap up their portion of the pod, you get two 1-on-1s from JP, one with Bill Callahan (22:26) and one with Ryan Anderson (29:12). If you like podcasts where Mitch blatantly ignores his car issues and Pete gets accused of having a nose incident, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and John Keim hopped into Mitch's car for a Redskins Talk that's got it all.

Next, they wonder how DeAngelo Hall could fit into the Redskins' front office, which is something he's interested in. Finally, their last segment deals with Josh Norman's new reality as a bench player.

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.

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.

Ep 556Explaining the improvements in Dwayne Haskins and looking at why the Redskins will finally score a TD vs. the Jets

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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
