Ep 454A very entertaining interview with Dalton Ross, who doubles as a mega-Redskins fan and "Survivor" expert
JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here for a really fun Redskins Talk, as they welcome on Dalton Ross for a long chat. Ross is an editor and radio host for Entertainment Weekly who also loves him some 'Skins, making him an ideal guest to chat all things Burgundy and Gold with. After JP confesses something to Ross as well as his fellow hosts, the four dive into all sorts of topics, including Dwayne Haskins' ceiling, whether the offensive line is a low-key but major concern and an interesting hypothetical involving Haskins and Josh Rosen. You'll also hear Ross pile on Pete and use the phrase "beer bong of medicine" during the back-and-forth. After Ross hangs up, JP tells a quick and embarrassing work story and then the trio brings up a bizarre Instagram debate that dominated @redskinstalkpod earlier this week. If you like podcasts where JP, Mitch and Pete are ranked as "Survivor" contestants and you learn more about Girl JP and Girl Mitch, then this is the episode for youSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 452Rookie minicamp pod: Here are our early impressions of Haskins, Sweat and all the other new Redskins
There is a LOT of good stuff in this new Redskins Talk, so prepare yourself. First, JP Finlay sets the scene while at a family wedding, telling you what's ahead in this episode and also teasing a few fun things coming up for you as well. Then, he tosses to Mitch TIschler and Pete Hailey, who were out at rookie minicamp along with Ben Standig, Brian McNally and Ajay Atayee. From their beloved picnic table, those five break down what they saw from Dwayne Haskins and also give their takeaways on tons of other rookies as well. What jumped out about the new QB and how much excitement is there around him? You'll hear that analysis, plus lots of good insight on everyone from Kelvin Harmon to Wes Martin and even to Vince Papale's son. It's so fun to be talking football again and you'll enjoy that segment as much as the hosts did. Then, to wrap, you'll hear an interview with Kyshoen Jarrett that first aired on "Redskins 100," as JP, Pete and Julie Donaldson get to chat with the up-and-coming coach on his promotion and his life. If you like podcasts where the "How many C's on that thick?" scale makes an appearance and Mitch gets supremely giddy about an undrafted O-lineman, 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 451Week 1 Replay Pod: The Redskins dominate the Cardinals, back when everything looked promising

Ep 450Looking at the Redskins' injury issues — are they bad luck or preventable? — and discussing the possibility of 'Hard Knocks'
JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and Richmond Bureau Chief Michael Phillips join together for this Redskins Talk, one that covers plenty of crucial topics. At the start, though, the guys get organized, both figuratively by listing off some prizes and milestones those prizes will be given away after, and literally, because JP is trying to get his life together. Then, JP lets Phillips get involved in the LG vs. WR debate from the last 'Skins Talk, a debate Pete isn't budging from despite everyone saying he should. Next, they each list their rookie to watch, since minicamp is this weekend. After that, Phillips goes in-depth on a very important and good article he wrote recently, one that tries to get to the bottom of the Redskins' injury problems. Are they bad luck and fluky, or something that's preventable? Is there even an answer? Lastly, they address the possibility of Washington being on "Hard Knocks," something a lot of fans have been asking about. If you like podcasts where you hear a bit too much about Pete being sweaty and Mitch gets way too hyped about the Bears' kicking competition, 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 449Listen to JP, Mitch and Pete's 'Redskins 100' debut together, plus get their extended debate about concerns over LG & WR
JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got the chance to be on Monday's "Redskins 100" show for the first time ever, so after a brief intro from JP, you'll get the entirety of that show in podcast form. Included in that: Analysis on this summer's upcoming QB battle (who's going to start Week 1?) and a discussion about which spot is weakest on the roster now. That second discussion gets very heated, as JP and Mitch take one side and Pete takes the other. So, once the TV show portion of this episode wraps up, the hosts return to continue the debate. Make sure to listen all the way through to hear what the issue is and how, eventually, it feels like there's some resolution. Keyword: Some. After that, JP tells a very good story involving getting pulled over that has a miracle ending. If you like podcasts where Pete makes fun of Mitch being a TV rookie (much to Mitch and JP's dismay) and Mitch weirdly keeps interrupting JP's 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.

Ep 448The Nick Sundberg pod: The long snapper jumps on to cover it ALL, from the importance of QB leadership to how NFL coin tosses work
JP Finlay and Pete Hailey are joined by very special guest Nick Sundberg for the entirety of this Redskins Talk, and after a botched intro by the two regular hosts, all three cover every topic imaginable. Here's a list of what you'll hear the guys discuss: The way an NFL coin toss works, the process for voting on team captains, how much belief there was when Alex Smith was healthy in 2018, a badass Aaron Rodgers story, the advice he has for Dwayne Haskins, his thoughts on the 'Skins' new special teams coach, his go-to Pandora station, his evaluation of Washington's draft, how national perception of the franchise isn't exactly fair and his Loads of Love charity. Mitch Tischler also gets cold-called and joins for a brief segment at the end. If you like podcasts where Pete gets excited because Sundberg has some of the same interests as him and JP and Nick bond over their Tupperware takes, 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 447Giving early guesses at how much Dwayne Haskins plays and assessing JP's way-too-early 53-man roster projection
JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler (who's out of his submarine from last ep) and Pete Hailey are coming at you from an undisclosed location for a really terrific Redskins Talk. To begin, the guys briefly thank the listeners for what's been a very hot streak as of late before looking at some early odds related to the 'Skins. The most interesting among them? The over/under set for Dwayne Haskins' 2019 starts. Once that wraps, along with a brief segment on JP's newfound gray hair, the hosts transition into looking at JP's way-too-early 53-man roster projection. How many QBs do they keep, who makes the cut at receiver, what's the deal up front and where is this roster basically already set? All of those topics are covered in this entertaining discussion that covers lots of side topics, too. Among those side topics — trying to predict which wideout will lead the team in catches and wondering why the Redskins haven't looked more into Tre Boston. That's about 50 minutes of football stuff total, so you should be satisfied, because then comes the shtick. You'll get a sampling of standout reviews before the three call Ajay Atayee to preview their Wednesday golf match. Ajay claims he can shoot lower than a 120 despite having never played 18 holes before, so he gets grilled on that. If you like podcasts where Mitch's shoes get roasted and JP describes one player as someone who "bathes in moxie," 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 446Chad Dukes and Joe Theismann join to put a cap on a praiseworthy Redskins draft class
JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and Ben Standig are here for one more look back on the 2019 draft, one that is awfully fun to look back on. At the beginning of this Redskins Talk, the guys explain what makes this crop of players so promising. Then, Chad Dukes joins to give his take and answers questions on how he wants the 'Skins to handle Dwayne Haskins and why Washington deserves even more credit than they're getting, including the much-maligned front office. He also talks about beer and steak, which is quality too. Next up is Joe Theismann, who you may be familiar with. Theismann gives tons of good insight on Haskins' future, and also reveals his plan for Haskins potentially wearing No. 7. The back end of the pod is devoted to the listeners, who helped contribute to an unreal week of coverage, and the opening of a giant box filled with incredible goods that was sent to JP, Mitch and Pete. If you like podcasts where you get to bask in the glory of a bunch of talented new players and Mitch stands strong in the face of top button criticism, 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 4452019 DRAFT RECAP: Getting to know the 10 newest Redskins, a class that as of now looks fantastic
The 2019 NFL Draft is over, and JP Finlay, Pete Hailey and Mitch Tischler are here to give you their wrap-up from what looks like an incredibly productive weekend for the Redskins. The three hosts are hanging on two respective porches, and to start, they run through Saturday's picks then give their overall impressions of the class as a whole. Then, they go through every pick, from the team's last to the first, and give their thoughts on each player. How does Jimmy Moreland fit into the secondary, what does Mitch think of the O-linemen and what does everyone make of the Bryce Love pick? All that analysis, and PLENTY more, can be found in this segment. Next, everyone identifies their GUY that they're most pumped to see in the Burgundy and Gold this season, before looking at spots that the 'Skins didn't address via the draft. Lastly, JP explains why the narrative that Washington is dysfunctional when it comes to this part of the offseason needs to be updated before they close out the proceedings with an old song that Pete of course doesn't get. If you like podcasts where Mitch gets irrationally mad at Pete for trying to bring up a fun fact and a golf tee disrupts JP's points at multiple portions, then this is the episode for you.

Ep 444Breaking down what you need to know about Terry McLaurin, plus how the Redskins have a successful Saturday
The Redskins only landed one player on Friday night but that player matters and so, too, did their trade, so JP Finlay and Pete Hailey are here to tell you all you need to know after the second and third round of the NFL Draft. To start, the guys set the scene, since they recorded this in JP's lovely basement, then get right down to reacting to Terry McLaurin's arrival. What do they like about the pick, where will he contribute most and what's their final grade of the selection? You'll hear all of that and more. Then, the two analyze the trade Washington made on Friday, explaining to you why the move made sense and how it sets them up for a productive Saturday. Next, they each come up with a question for Dwayne Haskins and Montez Sweat, since JP will be talking to them shortly. All of that is really solid football chatter, and it's all worth listening to. Following that is some fantastic shtick, which starts with JP opening some bourbon, much to the disappointment of Pete. Things then flow into a breakdown of the guys' new nap room, something JP pioneered and Pete loved, too, but also something that led to a very strange interaction. Lastly, the guys talk about the various places they'd have their draft parties if they were talented prospects. If you like podcasts where you get a very detailed description of JP's basement and Pete struggles mightily with drinking like a man, 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 443FRIDAY DRAFT STREAM: Grading the Redskins' first round and looking ahead to what they need to accomplish in the second
JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and mega-smart special guest Trevor Matich are here to recap the Redskins' first night of the NFL Draft and also evaluate what the franchise must do on Day 2. First, they each give their grades of the Dwayne Haskins and Montez Sweat selections, and while there are some tiny things to nitpick, they're all largely thrilled. In those conversations, you'll hear Matich explain why Sweat will be "vastly" better than Preston Smith and also what he thinks Haskins must improve on to make it in the league. After, they turn their attention to Friday, as each host identifies the most important positions to address and names that could work at those third round slots (or perhaps in the second if a trade presents itself). If you like podcasts where Trevor compliments Pete's ability to drop anchor and Mitch is in heaven with all the linemen talk, 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.

You'll also hear JP and Larry Michael talk to Haskins (18:31) and Jay Gruden (21:38), as well as Sweat's first comments (25:51), too. Basically, anything you could want, you'll get.

To start, the three hosts go deep on QBs, discussing potential trade-ups Washington could make, whether Dwayne Haskins is the answer and if Daniel Jones would be as disastrous as many fans think. They then have Kevin Sheehan on (14:46), and Sheehan gives strong insight on the main predicament that's facing the Burgundy and Gold in this year's draft as well as why making a big move up would be a "massive mistake." Eric Bickel of the Junkies hops on next (27:39), and he explains why he feels a move that creates buzz is necessary as well as why he'd be cool with DK Metcalf at pick No. 15. Finally, Barstool Nate gets in on the action (45:10), ranking the passers he prefers as well before doing some tremendous Capitals shtick. If you like podcasts where JP comes up with a smooth golf analogy to describe Daniel Jones and Pete gets a very fitting Game of Thrones nickname, 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 437Doug Williams presser recap: The biggest takeaways from his pre-draft talk and more on the team's 15th pick
JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Tarik El-Bashir were all in Ashburn for Doug Williams' Monday pre-draft press conference and are now here to tell you all about it. Before they do so, though, JP gets you hip to all that Redskins Talk will bring you throughout draft week. Then, they get down to business, giving their major takeaways from what Williams said, discussing whether there's an "internal battle" brewing in Ashburn and looking at options for the 'Skins when it comes to pick No. 15. If you like podcasts where JP is very uncomfortable in Mitch's car and Mitch does a scary Matt Ioannidis impression, 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.

That music was played during highlights and b-roll in the original broadcast)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Redskins options at QB, including those from the upcoming draft.

Ep 431Getting the background on Josh Rosen's personality and talking to Maryland's speedy RB and future pro Ty Johnson
Here's another fun Redskins Talk that's divided into two excellent halves. The first half features JP Finlay and Pete Hailey, as well as Katherine Fitzgerald, who covers the Cardinals out in Arizona. While on the phone, Fitzgerald provides strong insight into both Josh Rosen the QB and Josh Rosen the person. What are his strengths and weaknesses on the field, and what's he like off of it? She's got all the answers. Then, JP and Pete welcome on Maryland RB Ty Johnson (20:59), who is looking to take the next step in the NFL. In their interview, Johnson walks the guys through not being invited to the Combine, why he loves breaking off massive runs so much and how special teams will be key in making a final roster. If you like podcasts where JP's distaste for style in the NBA is revealed and Pete tries to brag to Johnson that he once lived with football players, too, 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 430Laying out bold predictions about the Redskins' 2019 Draft and getting a scouting report on Case Keenum from a Denver authority
The first part of yet another strong Redskins Talk belongs to JP Finlay, Pete Hailey and John Keim, as the three read and react to JP's five (well, it's more like eight, even though he said five) predictions about the Redskins' upcoming draft, an idea taken straight from Tandler's playbook. From who's going to be the pick at 15 to whether the team goes more offense or defense, there's plenty of good debate in that segment. Once JP wraps up, Pete chimes in with a few of his own, including one related to Mitch Tischler. The second half of the action (35:48), meanwhile, is devoted to JP's interview with Mike Klis, who covers the Broncos for 9News in Denver. In their chat, Klis breaks down Case Keenum and also goes through what to expect from the Broncos in their draft (which'll directly impact the 'Skins). If you like podcasts where Keim comes up with the bizarro-world version of Redskins Talk and Pete thirsts for a guess appearance on Keim's show, 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 429An analyst explains why Rosen could be a "better version" of Kirk Cousins while a reporter breaks down the QB, too
It's a Josh Rosen-heavy Redskins Talk for you to get the weekend going, and it's led by JP Finlay and Pete Hailey. To start, the two hosts bring on SI's Andy Benoit, one of the sharper analysts out there, to discuss Rosen. Benoit tweeted a few days ago that the second-year QB would be a perfect fit in Jay Gruden's offense, and he gets the chance to explain why. He also makes a very interesting comparison between Rosen and Kirk Cousins. Before he leaves, Benoit gives great analysis on the Redskins' need for a new left guard. After that, JP brings on The Athletic's CJ Holmes, who covers the Cards. Holmes discusses the likelihood of Arizona landing Kyler Murray at No. 1 and looks back on Rosen's first season with the dreadful offense he was forced to play with. Then, to wrap, JP and Pete bring on Big Apple Mitch — who all of the sudden is borderline too busy to hang out with his buddies — to break down another concerning development in Pete's finances. If you like podcasts where you get two different perspectives on a passer you're all wondering about and there's speculation about whether Pete can make it to the end of his lease, 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 428Walking through some top-of-the-draft scenarios for the Redskins and an Eagles update from a Philly reporter
JP Finlay brings you this latest edition of Redskins Talk as the NFL Draft is just three weeks away. First up is NBC Sports Washington's Ben Standig, who does more mock drafts than Mel Kiper. Yes of course, QBX gets a few mentions, as well as the linebacker that Ben has the 'Skins projected to take currently. Then, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia hops on and discusses the Jordan Howard trade (27:40) and the Eagles' expectations in 2019. And as a bonus, he and JP break down Bryce Harper's memorable return to D.C. Finally, JP reads some listener reviews (46:24).

Ep 427Draft Month is here: Hear from local NFL prospects Trace McSorley, Travis Fulgham and Darnell Savage
JP Finlay brings you a jam packed episode to get your April off to a hot start. First up is Penn State QB Trace McSorley (who starred at Briar Woods High School in Ashburn, VA), who talks about trying to prove he can play quarterback at the next level and what it would mean to potentially be drafted by the Redskins. Then Old Dominion WR Travis Fulgham (14:56), another Ashburn native who played at Broad Run HS, tells JP what his greatest strengths are and his NFL role models from growing up. Finally, Darnell Savage (27:16), a defensive back who played at Maryland, recently joined the guys Redskins 100 and talks about his sub 4.4 40 time at the Combine.

Ep 426Parsing through Jay Gruden and Bruce Allen's recent pressers for more info, then going through Pete's ridiculous expenses
It's just a two-man Redskins Talk today, with JP Finlay and Pete Hailey back in Bethesda to record a very interesting ep. To start, the guys open this "Parsing Pod" by picking out quotes from Jay Gruden and Bruce Allen's recent press conferences and examining them for deeper meaning and hints about the future. From Gruden saying he still doesn't like the idea of keeping 3 QBs to Bruce addressing the fact that his head coach is in a lame duck year, you'll hear those two speak then get JP and Pete's interpretation and analysis of their words. As that's going on, you'll also get to hear about Pete's terrible Facetime habits and JP's new, health-centric drink. Then, the pair transitions to some supreme shtick, as JP surprises Pete with a new game called "Take Pete's Phone And Go Through His Recent Expenses." There's some pretty shocking stuff in there, and Pete slowly crumbles as he realizes how much cash he's outlaying. If you like podcasts where JP's computer remains inoperable and you get an inside look at a millennial's spending habits, 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 425JP goes 1-on-1 with Bruce Allen at Owner's Meetings to discuss young QBs and the "burning" urgency to win

After the numbers have come out, the deal looks quite advantageous for the 'Skins. Next, the guys welcome on Tress Way (14:25), who was at the center of quite a "controversy" on Tuesday thanks to Stephen A. Smith mistakenly referring to Tress as a starting QB. Well, as you'll hear in the interview, Way doesn't mind it and is in fact relishing his new status as Washington's signal caller. The guys say goodbye to Way and then look at Jamison Crowder's departure, wondering if Trey Quinn is the guy to take over in the slot. Chris Simms hops on next (31:05), and the NBC Sports analyst gives his opinion on tons of topics, from Collins to the mid-round QB he likes as a potential Redskin.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and John Keim are here in this Redskins Talk podcast, which was supposed to be a long one but turned into a longgggggggggg one. After some chair complaints off the top, the guys go heavy on Josh Rosen. They evaluate everything, from his rookie year to the price it'd cost to get him to what worries them about him and how they feel about the move in general. That leads into a discussion on Kyler Murray, with thoughts on whether the Cardinals taking him is a done deal and how the Redskins could be interested in jumping up to grab him if they don't. Yes, repeat: The Redskins may want to get Murray if he slips past 1. Eventually, they move onto Antonio Brown, where the four hosts again look at potential compensation for the WR and how Bruce Allen and Dan Snyder factor into the decision.

After that segment, the guys toss to an interview with Chris Simms, who drops some KNOWLEDGE about QBs (18:02). Included: Why Colt McCoy isn't that different from Alex Smith, why Kyler Murray is his top-rated option and why Drew Lock is higher in his mind than Dwayne Haskins, which is a very unique stance. Following Simms' stop at the table, JP and Mitch bring in Ben Standig to react and also look at non-QBs who'd make sense for the Burgundy and Gold at #15 (34:52). Lastly, Pete Hailey joins the show (49:32) and puts the guys through a Wonderlic/WonderShtick test, which Mitch dazzles in.

To begin, the guys look at Antonio Brown, how much he'd cost the Redskins to acquire and whether the move is worth it. They then position themselves on a scale of whether Washington should ultimately make the trade for AB. Next, they turn their attention to the NFL Combine, since that'll be the big storyline in the league this week and because the pod will be in the center of it all. What players and positions are JP, Mitch and Pete going to be monitoring? Then, they quickly look at the Kirk Cousins and Bryce Harper contract sagas, explaining why Kirk's was more annoying. Lastly, the guys all come up with one question for the Redskins' decision-makers in Indy before Mitch gets out of the car to get things movin' at the airport.

Inside the mailbag are questions regarding Chris Thompson, Colt McCoy, Jacoby Brissett, the AAF, Josh Rosen and the grass at FedEx Field. Those questions lead to many debates, some of which are long and some of which are not, and also lead Mitch to coin a new phrase that doesn't make a ton of sense. After emptying the mailbag, the three hosts move onto some shtick and also kick around locations for upcoming podcast parties.
