Ep 353POSTGAME POD: Doing our best to process what will be a season-changing loss for the Redskins

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to try and walk you through what was a loss in many ways on Monday night vs. the Eagles. First, they react to the heartbreaking Colt McCoy injury, an injury that feels like deja vu after Alex Smith's just a few weeks ago. Once they go through that, they turn their attention to the rest of the injuries as well as the faltering defense. What's the deal with that group, a group that once looked so good? Eventually they move onto Game Balls and Goats, handing out plenty of the latter. They wrap with a recap of over/unders and more general sighing. If you like podcasts where Pete gets oddly aggressive and the hosts get very excited about the thought of drinking at the Pod Party, 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 349EMERGENCY POD: Trying to process and break down the highly-controversial Reuben Foster news

Tuesday became a two-pods-for-the-price-of-one day for Redskins Talk listeners once the 'Skins claimed Reuben Foster off waivers. So, once that broke, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got together for an Emergency Pod. In it, they do their best to look at the acquisition from all angles, both on and off the field. And there's plenty of angles. What potential does this have for success? What potential does this have to be a failure? Could the Alabama players help him out? When could he possibly play? All of that, plus plenty of other points, are made throughout the discussion. In the end, the hosts are skeptical of the claim. Now, listen for yourself and make up your own mind.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 hit the podcast studio in Bethesda for this edition of Redskins Talk, which starts out with Mitch addressing fans who think the season is over.

Ep 324Debating whether the Giants matchup is a trap game, setting over/unders and a fun 1-on-1 with Ryan Kerrigan

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and an-eventually-in-the-car John Keim make up this pre-Giants game edition of Redskins Talk.

Then, they give their predictions on who plays and who doesn't at MetLife Stadium before getting into a brief chat about whether the 'Skins should explore a trade and at which position. Next, they move on to over/unders, which includes a low number for Alex Smith and an intriguing one for Saquon Barkley. The last you'll hear from these three comes from the weekly "How the Game Will Unfold segment." Finally, you'll get JP's 1-on-1 with Ryan Kerrigan, where the pass rusher answers questions about how this defense compares to past ones he's played on, a special thing that's going on at Purdue and his level of excitement about being a father in the near future. If you like podcasts where Mitch and JP brag about their fun Saturday in NYC and JP asks Kerrigan about constantly being held, 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 323Richardson's back but what's up with Dunbar? Is Week 8 a trap game? And did the hosts enjoy Taco Bell?

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey hopped in Mitch's mobile podcast studio to record this Wednesday Redskins Talk. To kick things off, they go through the injury report, one that has promising news in a lot of places but also something troubling when it comes to Quinton Dunbar. Then, the hosts debate how much of a trap game this weekend's matchup vs. the Giants is. Can the 'Skins keep their momentum going or will it feel like the Colts debacle all over again? Next, Pete brings up a stat about Washington's offense that leads to a discussion on playcalling and the running game. And finally, and most importantly, JP and Mitch review their trip to Taco Bell, a place neither have been in a long time.

Ep 321The Redskins finally took down the Cowboys, and hell, maybe they got some help from our guy Tandler

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got together after a long, wild, emotional day at FedEx Field to recap all that went down during Week 7. First, the guys run through all of the spectacular tributes to Rich Tandler that the team and others put together, of which there were plenty. They also wonder if Tandler a had a little bit to do with Preston Smith's massive TD and that final field goal hitting the upright. Then, they take a look at the important game, from the way the 'Skins bottled up Ezekiel Elliott to the contributions they're continuing to get from Adrian Peterson. But the trio knows things aren't perfect, as they start to wonder what's up with Alex Smith and the offense.

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and John Keim (filling in for TV Pete) took shelter from some serious Ashburn weather to deliver this Redskins Talk.

And finally, the gang picks and sets over/unders, a segment that includes a battle on the number of Adrian Peterson rush yards and plenty of fantastic fan submissions for the wild card category.

Ep 312"They ain't for real": Immediate reactions to the Redskins' disastrous Monday night performance vs. the Saints

The opening to this podcast may go down as the most memorable in the history of the show, thanks to great work by JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler and some very NOT great work by the Redskins. Where do they begin after that AWFUL performance vs. New Orleans? After a bunch of curse words and sound effects, they dive in to the mess. In the pod, you'll hear everything, from some questions about whether Jay Gruden is the right man for the job to a ton of criticism for the 'Skins' idiotic penalties to thoughts on the benching of Josh Norman. The hosts also go through a Game Balls and Goats segment that's much heavier on one category than it is on the other. They then recap their over/unders, which featured a funky ending yet again. Overall, the game was a tragedy but you still need to digest it with Redskins Talk.

Ep 311A fantastic 1-on-1 interview with Adrian Peterson and projecting how Monday night's showdown will unfold

Your Redskins-less Sunday just got better, thanks to JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and John Keim. Before getting to an excellent interview with Adrian Peterson, the guys participate in their new "How the Game Will Unfold" segment, as each tries to imagine what will take place in New Orleans on Monday. They also take sides on over/unders, and it becomes clear that no one can really agree when or even if Drew Brees is going to break the passing yardage record against the 'Skins. Then comes JP's sitdown with Peterson. In their chat, you'll hear the running back reflect on his whirlwind journey with the Burgundy and Gold thus far, bring up some lofty goals and explain where his ridiculous handshake came from.

Ep 310How much would Doctson being inactive matter? Plus the setting of over/unders and the final bye week rankings

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and John "I only show up on Fridays" Keim have lots of football and lots of shtick for you to start your weekend. To open up this Redskins Talk, the four discuss Josh Doctson being in a walking boot and how much his absence would really affect the offense on Monday night. Another injury chat follows, this one about Trent Williams, which leads to a bold bet made by Tandler. Next, Tandler does his weekly inactives projection, but this edition of that segment is particularly boring and slow. Listen anyways, though. After that comes the setting of Week 5 over/unders, including an interesting one regarding Drew Brees' pursuit of history. And lastly, the hosts revisit each other's bye weeks and put out the final rankings of who had the best one. Let's just say Pete isn't the winner.

Ep 308Trying to make sense of Josh Doctson's interesting Wednesday and taking an early look at the test vs. the Saints

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey gathered 'round the picnic table in Ashburn to bring you this packed pod. First, the three guys give the necessary injury updates, checking up on Adrian Peterson, Trent Williams and Josh Doctson, who had an interesting Wednesday. The receiver was missing for at least part of practice and afterward, Jay Gruden delayed giving an update until Thursday. What's that all mean? Following that, JP gets the hosts talking about Mack Brown's return and what it could mean about Peterson's status the rest of the way. Next, they start to look ahead to Monday's showdown vs. the Saints, discussing how much a win would improve their perception around the league, before Tandler brings up a couple of topics regarding Washington's standing in the NFL through their first three games.

Here's a Redskins Talk installment that perfectly blends football and shtick. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey are your guides for the action and they welcome regular guest John Keim on to join them for the proceedings. First, the four each choose a player to watch on the 'Skins once they return from the bye (JP, of course, doesn't exactly abide by the "one player" designation). Players listed include Vernon Davis and Montae Nicholson. Then, they each explain what they're doing on their bye weeks and ask around for rankings on who's doing the bye week right. As you can imagine, everyone's handling the time off VERY differently, so there's some fun discussion and jabs here. And finally...no, sorry, and FINALLY... you get to hear the legendary interview with Mitch Tischler, as the big man checks in from Germany and Oktoberfest. It doesn't get much better than this segment, guys, so listen to it once and then listen to it again.
