Ep 401JP explains his quarterback epiphany and the guys give their impressions of the AAF's debut weekend

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back in their beloved undisclosed location, a location that apparently and sadly won't be theirs for much longer. To start this Redskins Talk, JP walks the other two through an epiphany he had over the weekend about the 'Skins possibly drafting a QB in the first round. There are some things that would make that a bit less likely than some are claiming, he explains. During that conversation, the hosts also touch on Jay Gruden's future and JP gets mad at Pete's plan for the 2019 team. Next, they react to the AAF's opening weekend, talking about the stuff they liked from the new league and ways for it to get better. Finally, things wrap with a debate about brownies.

Ep 400Looking at the Redskins' new QB coach and a discussion about Kyler Murray that makes JP mad

Your weekend isn't complete without JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey's new Redskins Talk podcast, which features more Tim Rattay content than you could ever imagine. The hosts look at Rattay, who's the team's new QBs coach, and examine his background, his potential and where he'll fit among the rest of the offensive staff. After that, the three guys talk about how the magical Super Bowl Ball will be raffled off, which is important because that ball has a wild collection of signatures on it. Then, they return to more serious football talk about — who else? — Kyler Murray. Mitch is getting tired of the Murray hype already, which makes JP very mad very quickly. If you like podcasts where Pete gets lots of financial advice and JP and Mitch recount gambling stories from their younger days, then this is the episode for you.

The boys are back in Maryland for this Redskins Talk — and in a new, sweet undisclosed location — but now we're missing multiple voices. JP Finlay's is also gone, which matches Mitch Tischer. Brian Mitchell, meanwhile, is hanging on while Pete Hailey's is as fresh as ever. To start this one, the guys reflect on Super Bowl 53 and try to figure out what the Redskins can learn from what happened on the field in Atlanta. It's a copycat league, so what should they copy? After that, the hosts do some more storytelling from their trip, with the highlight being JP's horrifying slip-up that he made while talking to Ed Reed. If you like podcasts where B-Mitch just randomly takes a phone call and Pete's dating life actually takes a positive turn, 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 convened in the Bethesda studio to record this edition of Redskins Talk before they head to Atlanta for the Super Bowl (without Pete, but we'll get to that). They get things started by reacting to the report that the 'Skins aren't expecting to have Alex Smith at all next season, and that leads to a lot of different discussions.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and an out-of-the-trunk Ajay Atayee wanted to react to JP's report that the Redskins are making a push to get Gregg Williams, so now you have a new Redskins Talk to listen to. Is Williams a legit option, or is he just using this as leverage to make the Jets commit more to him? Why would he want to come here? How would he fit into this franchise's power structure? And should he get the job, and will he? All of those questions are tossed around. The guys also get to the bottom of what the difference is between four wheel drive and all wheel drive and use the phrase "jet wash" a ton.

Ep 382What to make of Bruce Allen staying put, more on Kyler Murray/drafting a QB and a recap of everyone's snow day

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey aren't going to let a little snow prevent them from getting a Redskins Talk out to you lovely people, so they all hopped on the phone to make this one happen and that may explain some of the audio issues, which are either the fault of Pete or the aliens that Mitch eventually brings up, we can't tell . After their usual ballyhoo at the start, they get into the news from late last week that Bruce Allen isn't going anywhere. It may not be the news you want to hear, but it's what's happening. What should the frustration level be and why is he hanging around? That's what the guys discuss. Then, the three give their impressions from the action on Divisional Weekend, talking about what the NFC East could look like next year, before Pete unwittingly sets JP up to reintroduce the Kyler Murray Debate. Has anyone's stance changed on the matter? Of course not, but this thing has now reached the point where people are emailing the pod and JP uses the phrase "hot and bothered," so it's still very fun. Finally, the hosts wrap up by recapping what they did with their respective snow days and by grading/bashing Pete's housewarming party. If you like podcasts where a startling lack of car knowledge is displayed and Mitch's love of snowball fights is revealed, 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 "Father of two" Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey convened in a sketchy parking lot for this Redskins Talk, the first one since JP and his wife welcomed their second daughter into the world. After a quick back-and-forth over who'll be the girl's Podfather between Mitch and Pete, plenty of football content comes your way. First, the hosts sift through what's going on with Washington's coaching staff, from Ben Kotwica leaving to rumors and rumblings about Greg Manusky, Bill Callahan and Jim Tomsula. Who's staying, who's going and why is it all so quiet? After that segment, they move on to Gregg Williams and explain why he's not the most likely defensive coordinator option should the 'Skins need to find a new one this offseason. Finally, JP decides to quickly bring up Kyler Murray, but that quick mention ignites a long, all-over-the-place debate about whether the Redskins are ready to take a first-round QB.

Ep 380Kedric Golston joins to analyze the 3-4 vs. 4-3 defense debate, give his thoughts on Manusky and provide a history lesson on bulldogs

Here's a fun interview edition of Redskins Talk. JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey invite Kedric Golston on to have an in-depth talk about Washington's defense, and whether they'd be better off using a 4-3 instead of the 3-4 they've been running since the Shanahan days. As a former D-lineman who played in both types of defense, Golston is the perfect guy to ask and he absolutely delivers with tons of strong, football heavy insight. In the end of that part of the action, he'll tell you whether this debate is worth having or not as important as many make it out to be. Then, the guys ask Golston for thoughts on some other topics, like whether Greg Manusky should be fired and what defenders should really be focusing on instead of the scheme. Finally, things wrap up with an incredible breakdown from Golston on the recent battle between Texas' mascot and Georgia's mascot. As a former UGA player, Golston has a conspiracy theory about what happened before those two teams squared off in the Sugar Bowl. If you like podcasts where a longtime former 'Skin has a chance to sound off on tons of topics, and also gives quite the history lesson on bulldogs, 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 379What did the Wild Card round teach us about the Redskins? Plus, should and will Manusky and Callahan leave this offseason?

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are fresh off a weekend of football watching/eating lunch, and want to relate that football watching to the Redskins. After watching all four Wild Card games, is it fair to say the Redskins weren't THAT far off from the teams who played in the first weekend of the playoffs? It's a discussion with a few layers to it. The second half of the podcast has to do with two assistant coaches whose futures aren't decided — Greg Manusky and Bill Callahan (25:47). Should, and will, those two guys be let go this offseason? That chat has some good nuggets from JP when it comes to Callahan.

Ep 3782018 Redskins season superlatives — Handing out some traditional, and some very non-traditional, season-long awards

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have a fun Friday pod for you today that'll get your weekend started off right. The bulk of the action is devoted to the handing out of superlatives to Redskins players for this past year. JP decided on the awards, and they include regular ones such as MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, but also some out-there ones, too, like the Who Needs a Hug? award and a Wild Card superlative that of course causes confusion. JP, Mitch and Pete read their lists, and also talk about ones sent in by other members of NBC Sports Washington's Redskins coverage. It's a pretty wild offseason Redskins Talk and it features plenty of smack talk and disrespecting of everyone's lists.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey hopped into JP's whip for their first offseason pod and first pod of 2019. To begin, they reflect on how weird it is not to be at Redskins Park and also explain that while there are no staff changes yet, you shouldn't fret if you're hoping for some. Then, they jump into their first big topic, presented by JP: Was 2018 as bad overall as it feels right now? JP contends that, eventually, it won't feel as awful as it does today. Then, they quickly address the chatter about Dan Snyder's end-of-year meetings at FedEx Field, which a lot of fans are asking questions about. Next, they run through some of the low and high points of the year, with each host giving their opinions on what sticks out the most.

Ep 375Jay Gruden goes 1-on-1 to explain why the Redskins don't need to rebuild, and Tress Way reacts to his "perfect" season

You have a couple of quality interviews to close out your 2018, courtesy of JP Finlay. First comes JP's final Monday 1-on-1 with Jay Gruden. In their last chat, JP asks the coach about how hard it'll be to construct his team going forward with Alex's Smith's future being so murky, if he considers guys like Preston Smith and Jamison Crowder as part of the 'Skins' nucleus and why Washington will not look to rebuild in 2019. Then, you'll hear JP's postgame interview from Sunday with Tress Way, where the punter explains why he loves playing for Gruden, what Adrian Peterson's postgame speech was like and how proud he is to have gone an entire season without a touchback. If you like podcasts where Gruden reveals the real reason why he did every interview with JP this season and JP goes all F. Scott Fitzgerald on the coach, 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 374POSTGAME POD: Redskins get embarrassed on and off the field in season finale, and it's now time to begin thinking about the future

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here for their last postgame pod of the season, which serves as a recap for that "colossal turd" of a Week 17 performance as well as a brief look ahead to the future. The three hosts bounce back and forth between small picture things like Josh Johnson's performance and how jarring the crowd was at FedEx Field and big picture things like Jay Gruden and Bruce Allen's future. They also do one more Game Balls and GOATs segment, which Mitch stars in. Next comes some intriguing, behind the scenes stories, including one about Adrian Peterson and what his postgame speech to his teammates was like. Things wrap with some shtick, as Pete tells a somewhat funny and somewhat pathetic story about his trip to an urgent care facility. If you like podcasts where Mitch Tischler becomes D.A. Tischler and JP calls Pete "beautiful," then this is the episode for you. And, because it needs to be said, thanks to all of you who listened throughout the year. Be sure to stick around for the offseason, too.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 373Come and get your final game preview of 2018, which features over/unders and thoughts on Gruden & Allen's future

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and John Keim are here for one last game preview, so you better be here, too. After hyping up the Jan. 17 Live Redskins Talk Q&A (another place you better be), the four hosts give their percentages for Jay Gruden's return next season. They also ask whether he should be back, as well. That's followed by a similar discussion about Bruce Allen's future in D.C. Is he 100-percent safe? Then, they turn their attention to the Redskins-Eagles finale by going through over/unders (20:02), and the third one is a Tress Way special. Mitch starts a brief tangent on Samaje Perine before they initiate How the Game Will Unfold, and all four guys are expecting it to not exactly end well. Things wrap up with some good shtick, as JP opens up a gift that was sent to the pod. If you like podcasts where Mitch gets really heated over the memory of his least favorite game on the beat and the imporant and underappreciated effect of Alex Smith is re-emphasized, 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 372Adrian Peterson goes 1-on-1 to explain why he would "love to come back." Plus, more reaction to the front office's actions

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to cover a few topics and then toss to another incredible interview with Adrian Peterson. Before the RB speaks, though, the three hosts take an extra look at the Redskins' recent decisions and firings. JP doesn't see this as a HUGE deal like others do, and he explains why. They then quickly touch on Vernon Davis' future and hype up the upcoming Live Redskins Talk Podcast Q&A, which includes the grand reveal of the location of Jan. 17's must-attend event. After that, they hand the ball off to JP's 1-on-1 with the legendary Peterson. In the chat, you'll hear No. 26 talk about Washington's future (which he thinks is bright), what kind of vindication he's feeling after a standout 2018 season, how fresh he feels, why he would "love" to be a Redskin again, what he thinks of possibly pairing with Derrius Guice, if it feels crazier in D.C. than other places and how impressed he's been by Washington's fans. If you like podcasts where Mitch accidentally ages JP and Peterson compliments this team's ability to handle adversity, 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 369Jay Gruden goes 1-on-1 to reflect on the very tough Tennessee loss, Johnson & Swearinger, and Chase Roullier reacts to Peterson's milestone

JP Finlay has two great interviews for you following that not-so-great loss to the Titans. First, JP traveled out to Ashburn on Sunday for his weekly, exclusive 1-on-1 with Jay Gruden, and in this discussion, Gruden opened up about a lot. Among the things the coach touched on included Josh Johnson's unfortunate fourth quarter interception and what Johnson has meant to him in his brief time with the 'Skins, Adrian Peterson's future in D.C., why he was "not impressed" by DJ Swearinger's postgame comments about Greg Manusky and the scuffle involving Josh Norman. After that, you get JP's postgame 1-on-1 with Chase Roullier, where the young lineman reacts to the emotional loss, too, and gives his thoughts on Peterson cracking the 1,000-yard mark. If you like podcasts where Gruden's Christmas list is revealed and Roullier explains why Peterson's big year is special for him as well, 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 368POSTGAME POD: The Redskins come up just short in Tennessee and it was pretty heartbreaking

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are coming at you from Tennessee and are pretty distraught, much like you are. To start, JP plays a fitting Johnny Cash song and the guys give their initial reactions, which are basically all sad. After that, they talk about DJ Swearinger's postgame comments regarding Greg Manusky, which were very critical. That leads to a conversation about coaching changes where the hosts wonder if Jay Gruden has done enough to return. Eventually, Game Balls and Goats are handed out, and then they all wonder: Are they being too nice about the loss? Things close out with Mitch talking about the Norman-Lewan scuffle and a brief recap of Pete's hijinks.

Ep 367Redskins-Titans is basically a playoff game, so let's get you prepared for the important showdown

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have one more podcast for you before Saturday's game in Tennessee, and JP battled through a cold to make it happen so you gotta listen. To start, they look back at some points in the season the 'Skins are probably regretting right about now before looking ahead to what's basically amounting to a postseason game for Washington. While doing that, they take stock of what the team's going to roll with at tight end, offensive line and corner. Is there enough at those spots to produce a win? That leads into over/unders, which is followed by How the Game Unfolds, where just one of the three hosts is feeling a W on the horizon. If you like podcasts where Pete is appointed ambassador of something he's beginning to love and there's a lot to talk about because there's a lot on the line, 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 366A 1-on-1 with Josh Johnson, where the QB touches on his journey, becoming a Redskin and his love for football

He's the guy everyone's talking about, and on this Redskins Talk podcast, he's the guy talking with JP Finlay. Josh Johnson went 1-on-1 with JP on the Thursday before the Titans game, and in their discussion, the two covered a lot. Among the topics: What has stuck with him from the Jacksonville W, how comfortable he feels as the starter, what its been like to reunite with Jay Gruden, what his initial workouts with the 'Skins were like, how there's really nothing that will slow him down from going all out in the Burgundy and Gold and how he used Madden to familiarize himself with Washington's roster. It's all tremendous stuff.

Ep 365What was the biggest Redskins story Wednesday? Plus, reviewing their playoff odds and Trent Williams details his path to the pros

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have a new Redskins Talk for you and they covered a LOT in it. There's some quick shtick off the top, with the guys talking about their athletic dreams growing up and setting the date for their upcoming, live Q&A podcast that'll be going down in January. The football topics come soon, though, and there's quite a bit of them. To start, they debate the biggest story to come out of Wednesday's time at the Park in Ashburn: Was it Montae Nicholson's arrest, Tony Bergstrom appearing to be close to a return, Colt McCoy showing up or the injuries in the secondary? Everyone has their own take, you can decide who's right. Next, the trio reviews the 'Skins' playoff chances, a discussion that no one thought would be happening until at least 2019. What are the odds of them making the postseason via the division and via the wild card? JP, Mitch and Pete all state their case. Lastly, JP asks listeners to participate in a fun ornament movement before tossing to a cool conversation fittingly on National Signing Day where Trent Williams outlines to Ben Standig what gave him the confidence to eventually become the standout pro football player he is.

The good vibes from Sunday continue into this Monday Redskins Talk, which starts off with JP Finlay's cheery and informative 1-on-1 with the head coach. In that interview, Jay Gruden explains the fight his players showed in Jacksonville, describes the traits he loves from Josh Johnson, reflects on if he wishes he went to Johnson sooner, gauges the likelihood of a Colt McCoy return for Week 17 (this part is extra interesting) and goes over the decisions to release Kapri Bibbs and not activate Simmie Cobbs when he could've. Next comes JP's postgame chats with Ryan Kerrigan and Trent Williams, two 'Skins mainstays. You'll hear Kerrigan discuss moving up the franchise's sacks list and Williams show appreciation for Gruden's dedication to the run game.

JP Finlay, Mitch "Malarkey" Tischler and Pete Hailey are so happy to be talking about a win again and because of that, this pod is the most energetic one in a while. They open the action using a Tom Petty tune and by talking about the gutty W and how it followed their previous formula for success. After that, the hosts reflect on Josh Johnson's day and how improbable and impressive his effort was. Next comes a look at the defense, a group that really needed a productive day and ended up turning one in vs. the Jags. You get a bunch of Game Balls and a few GOATs after that as well as an over/unders recap. And lastly, JP, Mitch and Pete review a half so fun, half very not fun weekend in Jacksonville before Pete tells a wild story about a very awkward "groin anomaly" situation from the airport.

Ep 360Addressing it all, from Mason Foster to Zach Brown to Josh Johnson, from a busy Wednesday at Redskins Park

For a 6-7 team, the Redskins sure don't have a shortage of things to talk about, and that's precisely why JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are all here (and for the first time in pod history, all on the phone). To begin, they look at the Mason Foster situation, including Jay Gruden's response to the controversy as well as what Foster's teammates were saying. Is there any excuse for what Foster said? After that, they move on to another 'Skins linebacker, as the hosts react to Zach Brown's comments where he said he expects to leave the 'Skins after the year. How volatile could that get? Then, they transition to yet another starting QB, breaking down what Josh Johnson told the media on Wednesday and how he could influence this team in a more positive way than Mark Sanchez did.

Ep 358POSTGAME POD: Breaking down what was one of the most embarrassing and awful games the Redskins have played in years

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were at a loss for words, much like you probably were, but did their best to find enough words for this postgame Redskins Talk following the team's blowout L against the Giants. They get right to it, wondering how this defense continues to regress and how this team could turn in a game like that when they were still technically in the mix for the postseason. They also dissect what was said at the podium and in the locker room and try to discern whether the players are at odds with the coaches. Eventually, they get to Game Balls and Goats, and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out which part of that segment runs longer. After, there's more discussion about the debacle and some questioning about whether anyone will lose their jobs over this.

To start, Pete gives his report from Friday's practice, which leads to discussions about what the team is thinking about doing at guard (they may be planning something wacky), Josh Doctson and Mark Sanchez.

Ep 356Interviewing a salary cap expert about the (lack of?) options the Redskins have with Alex Smith's contract

With reports starting to come out about Alex Smith's recovery from surgery taking a turn, JP Finlay felt the need to get a salary cap expert on the phone to look at what kind of options the Redskins have when it comes to the QB's contract.
