Ep 463The Tandler Birthday Pod: Catching up with his wife, Andi, and remembering our guy Rich

This is one of the more special Redskins Talks ever recorded, so get ready. JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey, Ajay Atayee, John Keim and Tarik El-Bashir all went out to the Tandler house to catch up with his wife, Andi, and record this episode to celebrate Rich's birthday. The whole gang finally got the chance to hang out in RT's famous man cave, sit in his legendary La-Z-Boys and meet his beautiful pup, Skeeter. Once they all got settled, they basically turned on the recording and just let it all rip. From tremendous stories about Andi finding out that Rich was drinking on the road (after promising her he wasn't) to making fun of his devotion to gadgets and just recounting what made him so great, every second of this one is worth listening to. If you like podcasts where you hear about Tandler's boxers and Andi gets some surprise news, then this is the episode for you. Happy birthday, RT. We miss you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 464Rob Ryan sits down for a long interview, Jon Allen & Landon Collins talk as well and is the defense slightly overrated?

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey traded in the Ashburn sun for the Bethesda studios for this Thursday MyTeams stream, which is now available to you as a podcast. Before football things really get going, JP and Pete have to sort out an issue that has JP very, very upset and Pete playing defense. Once that settles down, the guys talk about Jay Gruden's job security; is he absolutely gone if the playoffs don't happen? Then, they toss to their second strong interview with Rob Ryan (9:56), and chat with the ILB coach about all of his players, how he feels post-Reuben Foster and what he thinks about the very experienced coaching staff. When that finishes, JP makes an interesting comparison between the 'Skins and the Nationals, which leads into a bigger look at whether people are expecting too much out of the 2019 defense. Eventually, you'll also hear soundbites from Jonathan Allen and Landon Collins before things wrap up with some Ereck Flowers-related shtick. If you like podcasts where the hosts discover a podcast mole and Mitch gets vindicated left and right, 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 for this wrap-up of the Redskins' second open OTAs session, and they're joined at various points by Julie Donaldson and John Keim as well. In this hour-long conversation, you'll hear their impressions on everything that they saw, from how Dwayne Haskins' development is going to how much Jimmy Moreland is standing out to what receivers are emerging. They also do plenty on 'Hard Knocks' potentially covering the Redskins, which was a major topic in Ashburn on Wednesday. If you like podcasts where Pete gets a chance to sort out his complicated Receiver Roundup and all the notes are about, get this, football and not injuries, 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 461An evaluation of the WRs from Santana Moss, update on the Cowboys from Newy Scruggs and weekend breakdown from the hosts

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were on the MyTeams app for a streaming show on Tuesday, and that show is now here for you to listen to as a podcast. To begin, the three recap their Memorial Day weekends, a weekend that hit all three pretty hard for various reasons. Then, they toss to Chris Simms' breakdown of Dwayne Haskins (where he compares Haskins to Big Ben) then react to that comparison. Once that wraps, they welcome on Santana Moss, and get Moss to talk all things 'Skins wideouts as well as Haskins, too. Who is Moss most focused among Washington's targets and which rookie receiver does he think will make a bigger early impact? The next guest, Newy Scruggs, provides an update on the Cowboys, from what kind of money they'll be looking to pay Dak Prescott to how Zeke Elliott's off-field hiccups affect his image in the franchise. Lastly, the trio returns to your favorite segment — reading through Pete's financial statements, which are predictably in shambles after a holiday weekend. If you like podcasts where Santana Moss gives solid analysis on Paul Richardson and Pete asks for a birthday present four months ahead of his birthday, 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 459Week 2 Replay Pod: The Redskins come out flat in their home opener and drop one to the Colts

Ep 458ESPN's Matthew Berry talks his Redskins fandom and explains why he's so fired up about Dwayne Haskins

Every guest we get on Redskins Talk is an important one, but here's one of the biggest to date: ESPN's Matthew Berry, who has been as crucial to the growth of fantasy football as anyone on the planet. However, JP Finlay didn't invite Berry on to talk fantasy; instead, JP and Matthew discuss strictly Redskins-related matters, all of which you'll enjoy. Why is Berry a 'Skins fan in the first place? Where does he fall when it comes to supporting Jay Gruden? You'll get those answers, plus a TON of nuggets on Dwayne Haskins, including some behind-the-scenes interactions Berry witnessed firsthand which he feels really show that Haskins is a leader and worth getting excited about. If you like podcasts where Berry directly tells younger fans why they need to stay with the Burgundy and Gold and where Berry lists a handful of reasons why the franchise's new quarterback could be the real answer under center, 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 457More things you should consider about Reuben Foster and an eye-opening chat about Brandon Scherff's potential contract

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey all threw on their blazers for this Redskins Talk MyTeams stream, which is now available to you as a podcast. To start, the guys further discuss the Reuben Foster injury, looking at where the 'Skins can go from here and trying to explain how Washington can withstand his loss. Then, they touch on Montae Nicholson's puzzling absence from OTAs before going in on Brandon Scherff's contract status. Do they expect a deal to get done before the season starts? JI Halsell, a salary cap guru, hops on to break down Foster's contract as well as what Scherff's new extension would look like, and while talking about Scherff, he drops a nugget that could have major consequences for a lot of reasons. Be sure to catch that part of the segment. Once Halsell hangs up, JP and Mitch get really mad at Pete for disrespecting The Chappelle Show. If you like podcasts where a major light bulb goes off for JP and you learn about each hosts' tennis skills, 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 456OTAs 1 recap: Reacting to Reuben Foster’s injury and evaluating Keenum vs. Haskins

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were all out in Ashburn for the Redskins’ first OTA session and now they’re here to recap it. Sadly, most of their early discussion revolves around Reuben Foster, as they detail what happened to the linebacker, what other members of the team said about it and how it affects the ‘Skins moving forward if it’s as serious as it looked. After covering that from every angle, they then update the listeners on the QB battle and how Dwayne Haskins seems like he could be the favorite to win it. Lastly, they run through the list of guys who weren’t at practice and tell you how concerned you should be. If you like podcasts where Pete’s finances continue to decline and Mitch takes his offensive lineman love too far, 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 455Fred Smoot gives tremendous insight into Josh Norman, Montae Nicholson, Jimmy Moreland and Game of Thrones

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are always happy to welcome Fred Smoot on, and as he always does, Smooth delivered for Redskins Talk. In his discussion with the hosts, Smooth opens up about Montae Nicholson potentially sliding in next to Landon Collins, his HIGH hopes for Jimmy Moreland, his LOW hopes for Troy Apke, why he wants the 'Skins to get rid of Josh Norman and more secondary-related things. All of it is high-quality analysis and it, as usual, is mixed in with plenty of hilarious Smoot-isms. At the end, the former Washington standout also gets riled up about Game of Thrones, ripping the characters he hates and giving his prediction for who'll sit on the Iron Throne.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

In it, the two run through all of this year's top passers in the draft, analyzing the guys' best and worst attributes, whether they'll be around for the Redskins to select at pick No. 15 and how they'd fit in the team's system. You'll hear about 'em all, from Kyler to Dwayne to Drew to Jones to Grier to Stidham and Finley, too. In addition, Simms compares Josh Rosen to the prospects coming out this time around, because Rosen could be QBX as well. If you like podcasts where JP gets called a "handsome young fella" and Simms identifies one under-the-radar name who could sneak into Round 1, then this is the episode for you. (This was taken off of the MyTeams app, so you'll hear some music at times, which some listeners have mentioned. 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.

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 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.

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.
