JP and Rich are in Ashburn as the team held a walkthrough today on their short week after traveling back early Tuesday morning.

Ep 3131-on-1 with Jay Gruden and Ryan Kerrigan as both try to find words for Monday night's catastrophe
This edition of Redskins Talk features two key members of the team doing their best to explain what exactly happened at the Superdome on Monday. First up is JP Finlay's 1-on-1 interview with Jay Gruden, where JP asks the head coach about why the letdown happened, how he'll prevent further letdowns and what he made of Alex Smith's worst start as a Redskin. Then comes JP's postgame chat with Ryan Kerrigan, where Kerrigan also attempts to assess how Washington flopped so hard on Monday night. Is this a fun pod? No. But it's a necessary one. So buckle up, listen and then move on to Carolina.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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. If you like podcasts where Mitch tells JP that no one cares about his ankle and Tandler goes real deep into how many La-Z-Boys he has, 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 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. If you like podcasts where Tandler is at his best when it comes to making unnecessary and unfair clarifications and Peterson addresses the people who question whether he can keep up his production all 2018, 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 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. If you like podcasts where Tandler's got his shades on and everyone's bye weeks are compared to college football bowl games, 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 309An update on Josh Doctson's heel and another installment of the oral history of 1991 featuring Earnest Byner
It takes just two to tango on this episode of Redskins Talk, as JP Finlay and Rich Tandler lead the action together after Thursday's practice. The guys give listeners an update on Josh Doctson's heel, as the mystery at least becomes a tiny bit clearer, and also try to figure out if Adrian Peterson playing Monday is truly a lock. Also in this episode is the second installment of JP's look back at the magical 1991 season, and this one features Earnest Byner. What does the 'Skins running back remember about that team and that run to the Super Bowl? If you like podcasts where JP gets offended that people thinks he drinks too much alcohol and Byner tells some incredible stories about arguably the best team in the history of the sport, 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 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. If you like podcasts where an amazing, new Redskins Talk measuring stick is invented and Tandler refuses to do anything even remotely nice for Pete's 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 307Jay Gruden goes 1-on-1 to reflect on his team's progress, plus it's time to re-evaluate the Redskins' NFC East chances
Mitch is still abroad and Pete is nowhere to be found but JP Finlay and Rich Tandler were at Redskins Park as the team returned from their bye week and are here to guide you through this new Redskins Talk chapter. First, the two hosts get you up to speed on the health of some key players. Then, they toss to JP's weekly, exclusive 1-on-1 with Jay Gruden, where the head coach explains Adrian Peterson's importance to the offense, looks at Jonathan Allen's growth as a player and gives his assessment of the scary Saints offense. After that, JP and Rich pick back up by examining the NFC East. Are the Giants dead? Are the Cowboys a threat at all? Do the Redskins have a legit chance of winning the division? All those questions and more are answered in that segment. And finally, the action wraps up with Tandler defending himself from all the haters who think he's not tech-savvy, which is a very fun few minutes. If you like podcasts where Tandler has an early swing-and-miss zing and JP displays an impressive amount of knowledge about bursa sacs, then this is the episode for you.

Ep 306A "Best of September" pod, featuring the top interviews and segments through 3 games
While there's no new Redskins football on Sunday, this new Redskins Talk should help you get through your emptier weekend. In this pod, you'll hear the best interviews from September's games, from Jay Gruden to Quinton Dunbar and plenty of other important guests. You'll also hear some of the more memorable Game Balls and Goats snippets from Weeks 1-3.

Ep 305Naming players to watch from now on, ranking bye week activities and an EPIC interview with Oktoberfest Mitch
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. If you like podcasts where Keim sabotages himself in the rankings with one lame activity and Mitch is literally living his best life, 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 304Talking important NFL issues with the NFLPA's DeMaurice Smith and choosing the team's surprises and disappointments
This is a neat little episode of Redskins Talk for those of you itching for content on the bye. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey briefly welcome you in before tossing to JP and Rich's chat with the Executive Director of the NFLPA DeMaurice Smith. Smith is about as sharp as a guest as Redskins Talk as ever had, and he's willing to answer questions on the roughing the passer calls that are plaguing the league, player safety as a whole and how the NFL views marijuana vs. painkillers. After that strong interview, the three hosts debate the Redskins' biggest surprise player and biggest disappointment player through three weeks of the season. Who makes the good list and who finds themselves on the not-so-good-list? If you like podcasts where Tandler gets screwed by traffic before an interview he set up and the guys do their best to treat the bye like the midway point of the season even though it's certainly not, 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 303JP goes 1-on-1 with Jay Gruden, Paul Richardson, Jonathan Allen, & Jamison Crowder
Hope you're ready for four 1-on-1 interviews with four happy guys. JP Finlay is one-half of each chat, while Jay Gruden, Jonathan Allen, Jamison Crowder and Paul Richardson make up the other side of them. First up is the head coach, who tells JP in their weekly, exclusive sit-down the things he still wants the Redskins to address and his most proud moment from the Green Bay W. After that is Richardson, who shares his funny reaction to that Clay Matthews penalty. Then Allen, who explains how the team wanted to attack Aaron Rodgers, and finally Crowder, who talks about the more aggressive offensive approach in Week 3. If you like podcasts where Gruden gets on JP for asking a certain question and Richardson has a good one-liner about how his mom being in town led to his touchdown, then this is the episode for you.

Ep 302From the impressive win over the Packers to the Podcast Tailgate, Week 3 couldn't have gone any better
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey are coming at you from the inside of a victorious FedEx Field to bring you a full recap of all that occurred in Landover in Week 3. The guys break down ALL of the very positive things that happened in the 'Skins victory, from Adrian Peterson turning in a classic performance to the deep passing game beginning to click to many, many more topics. The Game Balls and Goats section is, obviously, heavy on Game Balls, so soak all of that in. They also give plenty of thanks to all that made the Podcast Tailgate such a blast, even in the awful weather. The momentum is real, folks. If you like podcasts where JP botches the artist behind his apparent favorite song and Tandler's love for LL Bean is summed up perfectly, 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 301Picking Week 3 over/unders and predicting how the Redskins-Packers game will unfold
From the chillier than usual picnic tables, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and John Keim bring you this edition of Redskins Talk, and there's a lot of good stuff going on. In this installment, you'll get plenty of hardcore football topics, including: Whether or not the guys think Maurice Harris will debut Sunday, everyone's over/unders regarding Alex Smith, Adrian Peterson and Josh Doctson and the debut of a Tandler-created segment where the hosts try to envision how Sunday's game will unfold. You'll also get a good amount of shtick, from Tandler doing a weird coin-toss prediction bit to Pete attempting plenty of zings and missing with most of them. If you like podcasts where JP and John share a really touching moment and there's lots of minivan discussion, 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 300A slight improvement in injuries, setting Week 3 over/unders and a long 1-on-1 with Josh Norman
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey are your hosts for this Redskins Talk, with JP and Pete hanging in the studio and Tandler out in Ashburn...at the picnic table...by himself. After the necessary reminders about this week's Podcast Tailgate (ORANGE LOT, A30, 10:30 a.m.), Tandler gives his update following Thursday's practice, where he saw a slightly more positive picture regarding the team's injuries. Next, the guys set their Week 3 over/unders, which includes a fantastic segment where they read ALL of the suggestions they got from listeners. Some were solid but most were terrible. The second half of the action goes to JP's 1-on-1 with Josh Norman, where the corner opens up about everything from Aaron Rodgers to his cane to his fearless tackling. If you like podcasts where many people demonstrate they have NO idea how over/unders work and Tandler is just sending selfies out like it's nothin', 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 299Well, the O-line is now a bit banged up, and is Week 3's game a must-win?
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were in Ashburn for Wednesday's practice and then got together to give you this lovely pod. Unfortunately, most of it has to do with injuries, as Paul Richardson is now apparently dealing with an additional issue while Shawn Lauvao is likely to miss some time as well. Are the Redskins already hanging by a thread? The guys also explain how much to expect from the two new wideouts and then debate whether the Packers game is a full on must-win. If you like podcasts where Tandler and JP call each other lame and all four hosts have trouble remembering what a traffic light looks like, 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 298Reacting to the Floyd and Perriman signings. Would Dez or Gordon have been better ideas?
Tuesday was supposed to be an off day, but with all these receiver moves happening, JP Finlay decided to corral Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey to break down what's going on at that position. After promoting this Sunday's second-ever Redskins Talk Podcast Tailgate at FedEx Field, the guys give their reactions to the signings of Michael Floyd and Breshad Perriman. Should they have pursued Dez Bryant or Josh Gordon instead? One host believes Gordon should've been the target. Other side discussions include what parts of this roster all this WR shuffling will affect most and the level of concern about this part of the offense just two weeks in. If you like podcasts were Pete uses the word "onomatopoeia" correctly and Mitch gets a little too much enjoyment from almost running a cohost over earlier in the day, 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 297Jay Gruden reacts to the disappointing home opener, plus postgame chats with Swearinger and Roullier
It's time to pick up the pieces from the loss to the Colts. To open the pod, you'll hear JP Finlay go 1-on-1 with Jay Gruden, as the head coach answers tough questions about his team's preparation, offensive struggles and areas that must be improved. Then, you'll get to listen to JP's full postgame interviews with DJ Swearinger and Chase Roullier, two guys who played on units that had major issues against Indy. Swearinger wasn't happy with the communication, while Roullier had a lot to say on the offensive line's shortcomings.

Ep 296"You couldn't feel any excitement": Trying to put together the pieces after that gross loss to the Colts
Does anyone else think Week 1 feels like it was four years ago? The difference between last week's pod from Arizona and this one is stark, as JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler do their best to process the Redskins' horrific home-opening loss to the Colts. From Washington's long list of failures on offense to the lack of juice at the stadium, there's a lot to talk about and not much of it is fun. It's important stuff, though, so you need to listen. It'll be therapeutic. If you like podcasts where one of JP's notes is just "WTF?" and the hosts are just as fired up as you are, 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 295Picking Week 2 over/unders, getting a full scouting report on the Colts and performing a beer taste test
This podcast has a lot of parts and all of them are good. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey open things up by picking sides on over/unders for Week 2. Who lands where when it comes to AP rushing yards and Alex Smith passing yards? After that, they toss to an interview with Andrew Walker of Colts.com, a knowledgeable guy who gives you an in-depth scouting report of Washington's Week 2 opponent. Listen as Walker tells you what to expect from Andrew Luck and talks up a young lineman who'll be facing the 'Skins' strong interior defenders, among many other useful things. And finally, the pod closes with a bunch of people taste-testing Devils Backbone's two new Redskins beers, because it's Friday so why wouldn't we drink? If you like podcasts where a big-time Redskins player makes a surprise appearance and Tandler can't stop chugging brews, 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 294Here's why you shouldn't worry about the pass rush yet, plus a great 1-on-1 with Chris Thompson
The Thursday pod ended up happening, folks. It's just JP Finlay and Rich Tandler at the wheel for this one, and they braved the rainy elements to bring you the episode. First, JP opens things up by telling fans why they should remain calm about the pass rush, which didn't produce a lot in Week 1. Then, the two hosts set their weekly over/unders for Alex Smith's pass yards, Adrian Peterson's rush yards and an interesting fan submission from one of our ambassadors. After that, they toss to JP's sit-down talk with Chris Thompson, where the talented RB opens up about rehabbing from his season-ending injury and what it's like playing next to a future Hall of Famer. If you like podcasts where things are extra organized and there's no fighting over mics for once, 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 293Processing the injuries at WR and intensely grading all of our official podcast ambassadors
Full squad, full pod today as JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler, Pete "Weirdly Sad" Hailey and Ajay "Trunk Boy" Atayee were all out in Ashburn on Wednesday and are all a part of this Redskins Talk chapter. The guys give you the latest injury updates, starting with Cam Sims and Trey Quinn, before talking about the return of Brian Quick. They also discuss the elevation of pod favorite Kenny Ladler to the active roster. Will he play in Week 2? Next up is some important housekeeping on things such as the Survivor Pool and the Tailgate Party (Week 3 Packers game, BE THERE). Anddddddddd that's where things take a turn. The rest of the action starts out as a segment where everyone grades the photos our ambassadors have submitted to the @RedskinsTalkPod Instagram page, but that segment quickly devolves into Tandler saying the same rating over and over again and Mitch getting weirdly introspective about this weekend's weather. Also, Pete is in a weird mood the entire time. If you like podcasts where Tandler demonstrates he barely knows what Instagram is and the guys try to dance around an awkward situation involving a dog, 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 292JP's first 1-on-1 pod interview with Jay Gruden, plus postgame chats with Quinton Dunbar and Morgan Moses
This Monday podcast is home to three very cool interviews between JP Finlay and some big-time Redskins names. To open, JP sits down with Jay Gruden for Gruden's first exclusive Redskins Talk 1-on-1, and the two cover a lot. You'll hear the head coach give his main takeaway 24 hours removed from the crucial season-opening victory, his thoughts on Chris Thompson's spectacular return and what he liked about his new QB's start. Then comes JP's postgame chats from Arizona with Quinton Dunbar and Morgan Moses. In those, you'll get Dunbar's take on his breakout effort and Moses' breakdown of what it's like to play in the same offense as Adrian Peterson. If you like podcasts where Gruden gives out a very, very plain nickname for his running back tandem and you get to keep enjoying Week 1's fun result, 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 291"It was just dominant": Recapping the Redskins' very impressive Week 1 win over the Cardinals
"Your Washington Redskins are 1-0," JP Finlay says at the start of this pod. How good does that feel, listeners? Finlay is joined in this episode by Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler in what is a very fun breakdown of the team's Week 1 victory over the Cardinals. The guys run through it all — from Alex Smith to Adrian Peterson and even Tress Way — from a room deep inside of State Farm Stadium. They also review JP and Rich's over/unders competition, which ended in a VERY interesting and wacky way. After that, they transition into their Game Balls and Goats segment, which is HEAVY on game balls. And finally, there's some talk about shaving habits, because every installment needs a little bit of shtick. If you like podcasts where the word "dominant" is thrown around constantly and Mitch is ESPECIALLY giddy about various things, 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 290The Grand Canyon trip pod: Debating season-long over/unders while driving in a minivan
This is quite a podcast, folks. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler are joined by John Keim, Brian McNally and Michael Phillips, and they're all heading to the Grand Canyon the Saturday before the season opener. So why wouldn't they record a pod during the trip? The six guys run through a bunch of season-long over/unders, from things like Adrian Peterson TDs to Alex Smith yards, and pick sides. They also provide plenty of updates on Phillips' aggressive driving. If you like podcasts that involve tons of cheap zings but also plenty of 'Skins conversation, then this is the episode for you.

Mitch then reintroduces the over/unders for Week 1 and JP and Tandler make their picks. Finally, the guys toss to JP's 1 on 1 with DJ Swearinger, who has some intriguing things to say about the secondary and the amount the team played in the preseason.

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Ajay Atayee (who's not in the trunk this time) hopped into Mitch's car for this very fun edition of Redskins Talk. The guys open things up by telling you some GREAT injury news about two very crucial Redskins players before eventually transitioning into one mysterious injury storyline that no one really gets as of now. After that, they move into setting their first three over/unders of the season, a tradition that new listeners will enjoy and old listeners will recognize. Then a special treat arrives in the form of a long Preston Smith interview (18:01), where the pass rusher and JP look ahead to the 2018 season, talk about Smith owning Sam Bradford and kick around Tandler possibly being his publicist.

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and John Keim sat in the hot sun for this installment of Redskins Talk so you better listen to every second of it. The main objective of this episode is to react to the team's 53-man roster as its currently constructed (it certainly could change, by the way). Who were the most surprising cuts and why were those decisions made? You'll get plenty of insight into those questions. The four hosts also look forward, as they agree on the position group they're most concerned about and talk about a few guys such as Josh Doctson who need to really step up starting Week 1. For the shtick crowd, you'll enjoy the part where Pete drinks Tandler's water and John's usual needling of Rich. If you like podcasts where Tandler puts on baller shades and transforms into a badass and JP presents a Junior Galette conspiracy theory, 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 284Breaking down the Redskins-Ravens preseason finale and what the 53-man roster will look like
From an "undisclosed location" in M&T Bank Stadium, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler are here to wrap up the preseason. The three hosts spend much of the pod giving their final projections for the tight races at running back, receiver and linebacker. Questions they pose include whether Samaje Perine's fumble vs. the Ravens cost him a spot on the team and how Maurice Harris' murky health situation is affecting the depth chart on the outside. They also run through their game balls and goats segment, shouting out Rob Kelley and calling out the 'Skins' tackling. And finally, you'll hear JP's 1-on-1s with Trey Quinn and Pete Robertson, both of which are very interesting. If you like podcasts where Tandler and JP sing some strange old songs and Quinn goes really in-depth on his celebration 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.

They then run through the roster and try to determine just how many jobs are still up for grabs. Eventually, JP tosses to two interviews; one with Troy Apke and another with Jerod Fernandez. How is Apke planning on bouncing back from a rough Denver game and what's it like for Fernandez as he tries to scratch and claw his way onto the 53? Finally, the pod wraps with JP and Rich offering up some incentive to those of you who haven't followed @RedskinsTalkPod on Instagram yet. If you like podcasts where the wacky "Hi Tandler" bit continues and Pete botches the year Tandler graduated from high school, 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 282A sneaky player to watch, an argument against AP and a 1-on-1 with Adonis Alexander
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler bring you this pod from the interview room at Redskins Park and start off by looking at the injuries that Colt McCoy, Zach Brown, Josh Norman, Chris Thompson and Jordan Reed are dealing with. Are any of them a big deal? They then move into a discussion on a surprise guy who *might* steal a spot on the roster and become a really awesome storyline if so. After, JP tosses to an interview with Warren Sharp, an analyst who is mega-intelligent about football (13:44). Be sure to listen as Sharp breaks down why 'Skins fans should maybe chill out when it comes to the Adrian Peterson excitement. And finally, JP goes 1-on-1 with Adonis Alexander (23:33) and asks the rookie corner to grade his debut and where he likes to play in the secondary. If you like podcasts where Tandler says hi to himself and you get to hear from one of the more intriguing prospects on the roster, 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 279Recapping the good (Adrian Peterson) and the BAD (basically everything else) from the Redskins-Broncos dress rehearsal
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler recorded this postgame podcast from the sidelines of FedEx Field, so please excuse the constant lawn-mowing/grass-blowing sounds in the background. The opening section of the episode is heavy on Adrian Peterson, who was the lone bright spot in an otherwise dreadful performance by the 'Skins. Is it time to adjust expectations for No. 26 already? After the Peterson praise, the hosts move on to the rest of Washington's roster and look at everything from Alex Smith's lackluster effort to Troy Apke's night to forget. If you like podcasts where two out of three Redskins Talkers aren't wearing shoes and JP gives out half game-balls in an effort to find something to celebrate, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were all in attendance for what is now being deemed "Adrian Peterson Day" and are here to tell you all about it. From the picnic table in Ashburn, the four go through what they (briefly) saw from him on the field and also run through all that was said about the RB at the podium. From Jay Gruden calling him a "physical freak" to Doug Williams' thoughts on the former MVP to AP saying he intends to be the starter, there's a lot to parse through. There's also some non-Peterson nuggets in the pod, too, from JP catching up with Cam Sims to a funny Colt McCoy story courtesy of Mitch. If you like podcasts where every angle of a Hall of Famer's arrival is analyzed, 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 276The Adrian Peterson Emergency Pod: Breaking down the 'Skins' signing of the former MVP

Ep 275Making sense of Adrian Peterson's reported visit and the shifting RB situation, plus discussing how crucial Week 1 is
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and pod favorite John Keim got together at the picnic table in Ashburn for this all-encompassing and strong episode of Redskins Talk. The first of many topics is the team's messy running back situation, with the hosts covering all of the free agent visits that are being reported and whether or not fans should expect a guy like Adrian Peterson to actually sign. Next is a conversation on Jamison Crowder and Josh Harvey-Clemons, two guys who have missed a decent chunk of practice time this offseason and who are slated to play vital roles in 2018. You'll also be treated to a talk about how important a Week 1 win is as well as an all-over installment of "One Thing." Finally, things wrap with JP presenting a Pete theory that is immediately proven correct and the Redskins Talkers putting a percentage on the 'Skins' chances to win a playoff game.

Ep 274Redskins-Jets preseason recap: This D-line looks LEGIT, and are Sims and Bibbs making pushes for the 53?
For the FIRST time in 2018, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler recorded a post-victory podcast (yeah, it's preseason, but don't be so technical) and it's ready for you to enjoy. And, even though a 15-13 exhibition game sounds very boring, this episode is anything but. The receivers dominate the early portion of this recap, as the hosts wonder if Trey Quinn is at fault for his failed end zone connection with Alex Smith and also evaluate whether Cam Sims is primed to overtake Brian Quick. Eventually, though, as he usually does, Mitch steers things toward the BIG men and gushes over Daron Payne, Jonathan Allen and the rest of the 'Skins' defensive line. In fact, he even makes a bold proclamation about that specific unit. In the Game Balls and Goats segment, JP, Rich and Mitch hype up Kapri Bibbs (another riser) but don't give as much love to the NYJ LB who blasted Colt McCoy. Plus, stick around for the end as JP exclusively interviews both Sims & Bibbs postgame. If you like podcasts where JP and Tandler find a way to argue about whether there's an MRI machine at FedEx Field and Tandler also gets super grumpy about Dustin Hopkins receiving a game ball, 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 273Training Camp, Final Day: Recapping Swearinger punking Pryor, the stars of Richmond and a Tomsula 1-on-1

Then you have a real special treat, as JP goes 1-on-1 with Jim Tomsula and asks the defensive line coach all about his young, talented unit. If you like podcasts where Tomsula also heaps praise on Jordan Reed and everyone is just delirious from working a million straight days at camp, 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.

In the episode, the guys discuss what looks like another season-ending injury to a skill player and how that affects the team's fortunes before diving deep into a Derrius Guice conversation. They recap how players like Chris Thompson and Rob Kelley took the news and, later, try to convince (by yelling a lot) Pete that the running back situation will still be productive without him. You'll also hear JP's sit-down interview with safety DJ Swearinger, as the defensive leader talks about his relationship with Montae Nicholson and how people are sleeping on the 'Skins.

First, they explain how we got here, with JP, Rich and Mitch sharing various nuggets they picked up while at the game in New England that relate to Guice. Then, the hosts look at what the team could do to fill Guice's spot, whether that be a trade or a free agency signing. Do they expect them to make an aggressive move or stand pat? It's a lot of information in a short amount of time, and it absolutely a must-listen for 'Skins fans trying to deal with the news.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 267Preseason Week 1 recap: Figuring out who impressed and who still has work to do after the Patriots game
Here is your first postgame recap podcast of 2018, courtesy of JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler, who are coming at you from New England.

Ep 266The first-ever Redskins Talk Roster Projection Pod: Who will be the 53 players to make this team?
Instead of recapping Tuesday's lighter practice, JP Finlay came up with a different idea to execute along with Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey: a roster projection episode. So, you'll hear the guys go through the offense, defense and special teams (that's Pete's specialty) and pick the 53 players who will make the Redskins going into Week 1. Of course, things will change — injuries will happen and no one's stock has risen or dropped in preseason games yet. But this is their projection based on RIGHT NOW. Who'll be the final receiver? Who'll be the final running back? What's the number of linemen they'll keep on both sides? And are there any spots where they'll have to go heavy or light? All of that and more is discussed, so enjoy it. If you like podcasts where things are actually somewhat organized and Mitch gets uncomfortable with the amount of times he agrees with Pete, 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 265Training Camp, Day 13: How is Jordan Reed progressing? Plus, 1-on-1 with Vernon Davis and Preston Smith Mic'd Up
A surprise rain storm tried to throw off Redskins Talk, but thanks to some quick thinking by Mitch Tischler, he, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey found a backup room to record this chapter of the pod. Because of that, though, this is a bit of an accelerated episode. Things open up with the guys taking a look at two of the team's cornerstones in Jordan Reed and Trent Williams. How are each looking and should they play vs. New England in the preseason opener? Next, each host gives their "one thing," which include thoughts on Geron Christian and this insane Richmond heat. After that, they toss to JP's 1-on-1 with Vernon Davis, who talks about his ridiculous body fat stats, how he checks up on Jordan Reed often and what he thought when he first heard he was reuniting with Alex Smith. And after that, we're trying something new. Mitch has been shooting Mic'd Up segments at camp, so once Davis wraps up, you'll get a chance to hear one featuring Preston Smith. The full video is available on nbcsportswashington.com, but let us know how you like hearing it at the end of Redskins Talk, too. If you like podcasts where there's minimal shtick (except for the part about Tandler's iPad overheating again) 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.
