Beltway Football

"Football happened on a field," JP Finlay says at the start of this pod after the 'Skins first day of camp. And he's correct, which means there's plenty for him, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey to chat about. So let's get to it. First, the guys provide an update on the newly-injured Zach Brown (don't worry about it too much - yet) and also review Josh Doctson's productive first day after all the stressing over his health. Then, they evaluate Jordan Reed, who is starting to look like himself again. Next is a discussion on a big statement made by Jonathan Allen and how the 'Skins need an attitude shift on defense. More analysis follows that, including a guest appearance by Larry Michael and an introduction to one little-known DB who may just be worth watching. Finally, JP tells a totally absurd story about something that happened at breakfast, the other three hosts confront Tandler about a weird thing he did on Day 1 and, most importantly, things wrap up with JP's fun, insightful 1-on-1 interview with Josh Norman. If you like podcasts where JP's ankle randomly pops despite the fact that he's sitting down and other people besides Mitch talk about big men, 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.

Richmond, good to see you again. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey all made it down to Redskins training camp, checked out Jay Gruden's first press conference and then recorded this very pod, the first of many to come during camp. After quickly discussing the players who are starting on the PUP list, the group jumps into a discussion on Josh Doctson's precautionary MRI, an MRI that is causing plenty of concern. While it could end up being nothing, right now, it's worrisome, and the hosts explain why. Next, they go around the table to each identify an additional takeaway from Gruden's lengthy chat with the media, from Ty Nsekhe to Jay's attitude in Richmond. And finally, the installment wraps up with a discussion on the weather and how that could really negatively affect the proceedings in Richmond. As JP says during the recording, "It's gonna be a show." If you like podcasts where things get back to the nitty gritty details of 'Skins football, then this episode (and the rest of the daily episodes) is the one 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, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here for this Richmond preview podcast and are all FIRED UP to be heading to training camp soon. So, to capture that excitement and look ahead to all that camp will have to offer, the hosts invited Michael Phillips of the Richmond Times-Dispatch to discuss the area's ridiculous-sounding new bus, the best restaurants and the top places to drink beer (and some 'Skins football, too). After Phillips hangs up, the four Redskins Talkers each identify a player no one's focusing on who they think will have a big 2018 as well as some fringe roster guys who could surprise folks. Also, JP presents one of his most brilliant ideas that the listeners should definitely follow up on. If you like podcasts where JP and Tandler get into a weirdly intense fight about how many linebackers the team kept last year and Pete professes his love for "TGI's," then this is the episode for you.

Not only did you get an Emergency Podcast on July 11, but you get this podcast, which was recorded an hour before the Redskins drafted Adonis Alexander. So, make sure you listen to both. This one includes JP Finlay — who's celebrating another one of his favorite holidays — Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey. The first topic in this installment deals with Junior Galette, who has been tweeting about how a reunion with the Redskins isn't totally out of the question. Should the 'Skins bring him back, though? Then, another opinion on Washington's offense and Alex Smith is presented, and this one is more positive than the one from a few shows ago. Following that chat, the hosts look at how Madden 19 rated various players in the Burgundy and Gold, from Alex Smith to Preston Smith to Fish Smithson. And finally, two segments dreamt up by Pete wrap things up: first, everyone identifies their favorite all-time video game, and second, (almost) everyone picks a Taylor Swift song to relate to the Redskins since Swift is having concerts at FedEx Field. If you like podcasts where JP oddly calls 7-Eleven a restaurant and Tandler gets strangely angry about anonymous scouts, 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.

The Redskins Talk hosts had a feeling it would happen, and sure enough, the Redskins took Adonis Alexander in the 2018 Supplemental Draft. So, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey converged for an Emergency Podcast to look at the move, its potential and a bunch of other angles. Was it worth it? How did Torrian Gray influence the decision to draft Alexander? And how will he transition to the NFL? If you like podcasts where JP got off of a bus to be a part of the action and you get instant analysis about a 'Skins transaction, 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 and Pete Hailey teamed up for this Redskins Talk episode, as Rich Tandler is on vacation and Mitch Tischler is somewhere doing something. Even with just half the squad, though, it's a full installment. First, JP gets things started by making a crucial and exciting announcement regarding a certain celebration that'll be taking place in Richmond. You're going to want to listen to that, and then mark it down in your calendar (if people still do that these days). Then, he and Pete react to a write-up on the Redskins by an anonymous scout, in which the scout gave some useful and some not-so-useful thoughts on Alex Smith, Derrius Guice and even Jeremy Sprinkle. After that, the two welcome on Wes McElroy, a Virginia Tech football host who'll give you all you need to know about Hokie DB Adonis Alexander before the NFL's Supplemental Draft on Wednesday. Alexander could be drafted in the middle to late rounds of the event, but should he be? McElroy has some strong opinions on that. If you like podcasts where JP's raspy voice is a recurring topic and Pete's current living situation is — again — made fun of, 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.

Training camp is closing in, so JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey invited The Athletic's Jets reporter Connor Hughes onto this edition of Redskins Talk to preview New York's visit to Richmond this August. Among the things Hughes covers with the guys includes how thrilled the franchise was to land Sam Darnold, what his early impressions of ex-'Skins great Terrelle Pryor are, how Leonard Williams' career has gone since being drafted one slot behind Brandon Scherff and which Jet is most likely to start a fight in practice against the Burgundy and Gold. After Hughes hangs up, JP leads the group into the third-ever installment of 20 Questions, and this time, it's his turn to pick the mystery player. And, for once, the game goes as planned — and then ends in a fashion you won't believe. If you like podcasts that discuss the "fight potential" of various players and feature as dramatic of a conclusion to a game of 20 Questions you'll ever come across, 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.

It's on you to purchase the meats and beers, but we've got the podcast you need to make your 4th of July complete. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are in the holiday spirit for this edition of Redskins Talk, yet — kind of accidentally — they open up by talking about football for a decent amount of the action. First, JP makes an important podcast announcement related to training camp, and then, the guys wonder if the 'Skins' days of being really dysfunctional are over, a question that causes some disagreement between Tandler and JP (crazy, right?) After that debate, things give way to a handful of random holiday discussions, including JP's list about the top 4 holidays, Tandler bragging about how good his Thanksgiving turkey is and Pete's argument that Memorial Day is better than July 4th. If you like podcasts where Pete still doesn't know whether he's actually going to camp in Richmond and Tandler gets grumpy about Halloween, 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.

This Redskins Talk podcast is a full one, with JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey in studio and ESPN's John Keim on the phone. The majority of the pod is dedicated to discussing two guys: Derrius Guice and Jay Gruden. For Guice, the main question asked is whether he can get over 1,000 yards as a rookie, and the guys look at factors including how his running style could affect his health, whether he'll get enough carries to reach that milestone and how Samaje Perine's first year as a pro relates to Guice's. After that, they examine where Gruden landed in NFL.com's ranking of head coaches, who he's slotted behind and whether the spot they placed him in was a fair one. If you like podcasts where Keim needles Tandler — just like he does on Twitter and in person — and JP mixes up the Bills coach with an NBA player, 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, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and, eventually, Mitch Tischler (listen to find out why the word "eventually" is needed) are joined by special guest Mark Rypien for the majority of this Redskins Talk episode. It's the first edition of JP's project in which he rounds up 'Skins players from one of the best teams in NFL history to talk about all that the 1991 squad accomplished, and Rypien was happy to do so for what turned out to be a fun and lengthy interview. During the chat, the QB discusses when he knew the roster was special, a game where he threw six touchdowns on just 16 completions, what quality he thinks today's Redskins could borrow from that group and how crazy the city was while all this winning was going on. But the fun doesn't stop when Rypien hangs up. On the back end of things, Mitch joins the guys AFTER GETTING STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR FOR 40 MINUTES. How did it happen, how did he survive and who amongst the four would panic the most if their particular elevator got stuck? Be sure to hang around for all of that action as well. If you like podcasts where Rypien drops a terrific line about how much he hates losing to the Cowboys and Mitch details what it was like to experience everyone's worst nightmare, 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.

After getting a bit off schedule, Redskins Talk is back with this episode that is hosted by JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey. Following the shocking discovery that Rich wasn't checking in from the La-Z-Boy for the first time in who knows how long, JP moves the pod into a couple of solid football topics. First, Pete explains an issue he thinks is flying under the radar that's related to the team's first round picks. That leads into a talk about Josh Doctson, one that includes an attempt at predicting how many catches and TDs he'll post in 2018 and an evaluation of his ability to consistently get open. Next is a really fun back-and-forth interview originally from 'Redskins 100' with Chris Raybon, a football analyst who doesn't like Alex Smith's chances of continuing his late-career revival in Washington. Why? Well, Chris has a few reasons, actually. After that, the hosts pay tribute to NBCSW photographer Mike DiVenere. We miss you, Mike D.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 an extra energetic Brian Mitchell are the voices who'll take you through this chapter of Redskins Talk. After botching the open so badly that they needed to get back in the huddle and restart, the guys open up a lengthy discussion on Jay Gruden that goes a bunch of different ways. Among the questions asked about Gruden in the discussion: Does he deserve to be on the list of coaches most likely to be fired in 2018? How much credit should he get for making the 'Skins respectable? And is he the guy to elevate the Burgundy and Gold? It's all interesting stuff and leads to a lot of good points that'll make you think as you're sitting in devastating traffic or mowing your lawn. The end portion of the pod, meanwhile, is devoted to a neat idea that JP is cooking up and a strong Russ Grimm story, as told by B-Mitch. If you like podcasts where it's revealed that Brian plays more games on his phone than a teenager and Pete is muted for the first time in a long time, 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.

A recovering JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler joined up for this mid-week, football heavy edition of Redskins Talk. The beginning of the podcast includes two different discussions centered on Alex Smith, with the first regarding how he seems well aware of how he needs to start the year fast and the second spent wondering if he's a top-100 player in football, since he hasn't shown up on the NFL Network's Top 100 list yet. Then, the guys look back on a debate they held on Brandon Scherff and wonder whether they need to adjust their take that he wasn't worth such a high draft selection considering how guards are getting paid more and more these days. And finally, JP enlists the help of Rich and Mitch in an early look at the next Podcast Party. If you like podcasts where JP puts up a solid effort in his Flu Game and all three hosts turn in decent Jay Gruden impressions, 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.

For Redskins Talk fans who want to hear talk about the Redskins (as opposed to the Capitals or Pod Parties) you're in luck, because JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey actually talk a lot of Burgundy and Gold in this episode. Imagine that! After Tandler's unusual intro and JP showing that he may actually be committed to becoming more organized, the guys get into a discussion about what Zach Brown said regarding Terrelle Pryor. You'll hear the audio itself as well as everyone's take on it. Then, that is followed by an evaluation of the team's safeties and whether that group is sufficient enough for 2018. And, finally, you'll be treated to JP's 1-on-1 interview with DJ Swearinger, an interview where Swearinger gives his thoughts on communication, Orlando Scandrick and what he's been telling Montae Nicholson. If you like podcasts where Tandler quotes Allen Iverson and Swearinger reveals that he's invented a spin-off version of golf, 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.

"Holy moly, we did it again," is how JP Finlay opens this Redskins Talk podcast, which is the perfect way to get things started. He, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and Brian Mitchell hosted this edition from B-Mitch's very large, very nice backyard and devoted the entire time to a recap of the most fun Podcast Party yet — a recap that has the calming sound of lawn mowers buzzing in the background throughout. From Pete doing his best TJ Oshie impression (and then getting kicked out) to the guys' late night, long stop at a random gas station to Mitch's insane snoring, you'll hear the best stories from the awesome event at the Matchbox in Ashburn. You'll also hear JP thank the listeners many times and deservedly so, and at the end, you'll be treated to a nice phone call from Rich Tandler and get his take on all that went down. If you like podcasts where B-Mitch repeatedly calls Pete a loser in various ways and JP's voice is EXTRA scratchy, then this is the episode for you. And thank you all for coming and supporting the pod. Now, start listening.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For the last time for a while, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey hung out at the picnic tables in Ashburn for this Redskins Talk episode following the team's final minicamp session. After opening with a chat about Pete's overall dumbness, the guys take turns talking about players who stood out on the field, including Daron Payne, Robert Davis, Greg Stroman and an undrafted receiver who will be worth watching in Richmond. They also briefly discuss a pretty intense fight that happened between two defensive linemen and Trey Quinn as a punt returner. Then, they move into a conversation about how the 'Skins are really trying to improve the fan experience at FedEx Field, which is a thing that probably affects many of you listeners. Finally, the pod closes out with JP analyzing how incredibly disorganized he is (there's a fun story here that ends with him getting roasted by his wife). If you like podcasts where Robert Davis' growth is brought up and JP gets a live taco delivery, then this is the episode for you. COME TO THE PODCAST PARTY AT MATCHBOX IN ASHBURN ON THURSDAY, JUNE 14, BY THE WAY.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and — please try to hold your applause until the end of this sentence — Hockey Mitch Tischler joined up for this chapter of Redskins Talk. After a quick hyping up of the upcoming Podcast Party (June 14 at Matchbox in Ashburn; bring everyone), Mitch recaps what its been like to cover the Capitals as they ascended to the top of the NHL. Included: Tales from the ice immediately following the team's clinching win as well as how he was able to get into the Vegas club where Washington's players were partying later that evening. Conveniently, all of his bragging leads nicely into a chat regarding a blog Tandler wrote about how the 'Skins should now feel pressure to get their act together in order to hold their top spot in terms of popularity in D.C. Eventually, there's a riveting minicamp preview since the Burgundy and Gold are having theirs this week, and the pod closes out with more Podcast Party excitement. If you like podcasts where JP invents the Millennial Meter and you get to hear all of the sweet raffle items that'll be given away at Matchbox, 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.

This Redskins Talk podcast is coming at you from the picnic tables at the team's Ashburn facility, features JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey and was recorded after the 'Skins' third open OTA session. As you listen, you'll hear observations about Jamison Crowder's chemistry with Alex Smith, Quinton Dunbar's consistency, Kevin Hogan's unfortunate day and Josh Doctson getting extra reps. Eventually, the conversation shifts to Ryan Anderson, which leads to a broader talk about whether the Redskins are deep enough at outside linebacker behind Preston Smith and Ryan Kerrigan. As of now, it sure doesn't feel like it. Next, JP reads some funny tweets about Trey Quinn as Quinn's "Hype Rocket" continues to gain speed, before things wrap up with JP's post-practice, 1-on-1 interview with Paul Richardson. If you like podcasts where Tandler doubts JP's ability to start the recording device and Richardson brings up how his speed can be a weapon, 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.

This is ALSO a VERY COOL episode of Redskins Talk, listeners!!! While crashing the Eastern Motors commercial shoot, JP Finlay caught up with Jamison Crowder, Alex Smith, Ryan Kerrigan and Josh Norman, and in this pod, you'll hear his interviews with the DEFENSIVE players — and these interviews are fun because they're largely about non-football things. With Kerrigan, JP brings up things like the Capitals, whether OTAs are boring, if he has advice for Preston Smith before Smith's contract year, his early thoughts about Daron Payne and what it was like to once wear the number 53. And with Norman, you'll hear the corner talk about cars, how he was robbed on Dancing with the Stars, kilts and Quinton Dunbar. If you like podcasts where JP and Ryan talk about Ryan's old flow and JP and Norman discuss the proper way to wear a kilt, then you will LOVE this episode.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is a VERY COOL episode of Redskins Talk, listeners!!! While crashing the Eastern Motors commercial shoot, JP Finlay caught up with Jamison Crowder, Alex Smith, Ryan Kerrigan and Josh Norman, and in this pod, you'll hear his interviews with the OFFENSIVE players — and these interviews are fun because they're largely about non-football things. With Crowder, JP asks questions about the receiver being a new homeowner, Duke basketball, barbecue, how he found out about the Smith trade and his (lack of) social media habits. And with Smith, you'll hear the QB talk about how great it feels to be featured in an Easterns ad, traffic in the various places No. 11 has played in, how winning can be infectious throughout a city, his early impressions of Derrius Guice and the benefits of a training camp that's separate from the team facility. If you like podcasts where JP and Jamison go in-depth on beaches in Carolina and your team's new passer explains why Jay Gruden is fun to play for, then you will LOVE this episode.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler (yup, the legend has returned from the Outer Banks), Pete Hailey and Chick Hernandez (who joins halfway through) came together for this half football, half life edition of Redskins Talk. After their usual back-and-forths, the crew brings up a neat statistic regarding interceptions and analyze how that stat affects their perception of Kirk Cousins and Alex Smith. Next, JP references an article he wrote that brought up some useful numbers regarding Orlando Scandrick and the Redskins' overall commitment to stopping the run this year. And finally, Pete and Tandler recap their respective Memorial Day trips to Ocean City and OBX, leading to stories about insane cover charges and the time JP nearly drowned. If you like podcasts where Pete actually mutes himself throughout and you learn some pretty cool info about Scandrick you probably didn't know about before, 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.

A really raspy-voiced JP Finlay joins Pete Hailey for this two-host installment of Redskins Talk. After Pete's mediocre rendition of "Happy Birthday" dedicated to the absent Rich Tandler, JP drops a promising announcement regarding the upcoming Podcast Party. Then, Pete rattles off some of his favorite nuggets from the team's most recent OTA session, including thoughts on Josh Doctson and whether he's ready to ascend, Josh Norman playing in the slot and Ryan Anderson getting a little action with the D-linemen. After that, JP transitions to a review of his Vegas trip and his blossoming friendship with Raiders owner Mark Davis. And in the pod's closing minutes, Brian Mitchell makes a surprise appearance and gives his thoughts on Doctson, burner accounts and various other topics. If you like podcasts where it's immediately evident that JP is still battling the post-Vegas bug and Pete's sheltered lifestyle is brought up, then this is the episode for you. (Also, come to the Podcast Party on June 14 at Matchbox in Ashburn. Tell your friends to come, too).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Your Memorial Day needs a few things to be successful: Beer, food and this new Redskins Talk pod. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey get together and open this installment up with a conversation about — get this — the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon. It's a Hoover Dam/Grand Canyon chat you never knew you needed. Things eventually get serious, however, when JP brings up the topic of which corner among Quinton Dunbar, Fabian Moreau and Orlando Scandrick will play opposite of Josh Norman. JP and Pete are high on Dunbar, while Tandler isn't exactly there. Then, the hosts take a very early look at training camp in Richmond, because why not? And finally, the conclusion of this Redskins Talk edition is devoted to an intriguing look at the guys' various vacations. If you like podcasts where Tandler drops one of the best lines in the history of the show and (possibly too much) time is used to analyze walk-throughs that are happening two months from now, 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.

Get ready for a fun Friday edition of Redskins Talk, hosted by JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey. Things get going early as all three are of course pumped up about Washington OTAs the Caps making it to the Stanley Cup Final, and that energy carries over into JP announcing the date and location of the third Redskins Talk Podcast Party. Where's it going down, how much free swag is being given out and who's going to house the hosts after the shenanigans? Listen to find out and then start getting excited. After that, a little football is discussed, as Tandler goes through some rule changes and how 'Skins players are reacting to them. Then, Caps expert Rob Carlin returns to the show to preview Caps-Knights in a very fun, very easy to understand fashion. And finally, JP, Rich and Pete go through a ranking of "guys," as in, the best kinds of guys to know. It's all excellent stuff. If you like podcasts where JP talks about his early gambling days and you get some hockey to go on the side of your football, 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, Rich Tandler and a barely invited Ajay Atayee check in for this Redskins Talk installment from the Mobile Podcast Studio/JP's 2013 Honda Pilot following Washington's first open OTA session in Ashburn. And in this installment, the crew covers a ton. From JP coining the term "hype rocket" regarding Trey Quinn's growing popularity to a recap of a sweet Alex Smith to Paul Richardson pass to observations on players like Josh Harvey-Clemons, Derrius Guice and Zach Brown (who wasn't in attendance, BUT DON'T FREAK OUT), you'll get a ton of news on the 'Skins in under 20 minutes. If you like podcasts where Tandler reveals how much he can squat and JP reminds you not to give up on Rob Kelley, 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, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey didn't reserve the studio in time for this podcast, so instead, they jerry-rigged some phones to make this episode of Redskins Talk happen. After bouncing around on various topics, including Pete reaching 1,000 Twitter followers, JP randomly promoting a mechanic and a Vince Lombardi joke gone kinda wrong, the three jump into a Jordan Reed discussion. Using comments made by Vernon Davis, JP asks the question: Are people counting the talented Reed out too soon? That is followed by an OTAs preview (you're damn right you're getting an OTAs preview) as JP, Rich and Pete bring up the players and things they'll be watching for over the next few sessions in Ashburn. If you like podcasts where the audio is pretty wack but the insight sure isn't (seriously, sorry about the audio, it was the best we could do :-/) and Tandler talks about the time he ran into Morgan Moses at Target, 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.

This Redskins Talk podcast is jam-packed with info and with fun. The info comes in the first half, as JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and Mitch Tischler (yep, Mitch is back!!!!!) re-grade the Redskins' 2015 draft class, a class that included the likes of Brandon Scherff and Matt Jones. How does this haul compare to the 2014 group, which was graded in the last podcast? That look back leads into a chat about Preston Smith and Jamison Crowder, two 'Skins who could be in line for big extensions soon. Then the fun kicks in. First, there's the return of 20 Questions, with Pete serving as the question answerer and the rest of the group (again) getting angry at the game, even though it was a blast and they're just salty all the time. 20 Questions is followed up by a 5-joke edition of Tandler's Got Jokes, all of which are just as cheesy as you hoped they'd be. If you like podcasts where Preston Smith's future and massive bank account is discussed and Tandler spills his water, 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, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey linked up for this particular Redskins Talk, which starts with JP campaigning for Pete to get to 1,000 Twitter followers (FOLLOW @_PeterHailey, 1000th person gets a t-shirt!) Then, the three react to news that Bashaud Breeland is taking visits with a few teams again and speculate on what kind of deal the corner should take with his next club. That conversation sparks a discussion about the strongest and weakest positions on the team, with the first category proving to be a somewhat hard answer to come up with. Next, it's time to re-evaluate the Redskins' 2014 draft class, which included Breeland, Trent Murphy and Morgan Moses. How does that haul look now? And finally, JP and Tandler weigh in on the bizarre Yanny vs. Laurel Internet thing. If you like podcasts where Pete does a questionable caveman impression and Tandler provides more info on Ted Bolser than you'll ever need, 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 and Pete Hailey open up this Redskins Talk podcast by recapping their recent golf triumph but are quickly joined in the studio by Brian Mitchell, who proceeds to make fun of JP and Pete's recent golf triumph. Things turn back to the Burgundy and Gold quickly, though, with the three talking about DeAngelo Hall's retirement, recounting some of his best moments and arguing about whether D-Hall was a true shutdown corner or not. That is where you'll hear B-Mitch call Pete "soft," so you don't want to miss that. After, Brian tells a short but insightful story about Derrius Guice that gives you some insight into the RB's personality. The trio then tosses to an interview that JP and Rich Tandler held with Sirius XM's Adam Caplan, an NFL Insider who possesses a ton of knowledge about your favorite sport. Caplan gives his opinion on the Redskins offense — a group he thinks can be VERY dynamic, but also very problematic — before taking you on a tour of the rest of the NFC East. Things might be shaking out OK for Washington in the division, according to him. If you like podcasts where classic DeAngelo Hall TDs are brought up and a reporter pays compliments to Alex Smith, 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.

This podcast is coming at you from the podcast picnic table at Redskins Park in Ashburn and features JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Chick Hernandez, Pete Hailey and 'Redskins 100' producer/heavy hair gel user Ajay Atayee. The guys open up by having (yes, another) discussion about left guard after JP reported that Arie Kouandjio's 2018 season is in jeopardy due to a quad injury. Is it time to panic? There's disagreement answering that one. Then, everyone gives their observations and standouts from Friday's rookie minicamp session, including notes on Derrius Guice and Trey Quinn, after watching the Burgundy and Gold's first-year players get after it in practice under Jay Gruden's watchful eye. If you like podcasts where Tandler calls someone a redneck and the Trey Quinn hype train starts rolling, 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, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey are steering this particular Redskins Talk show, and things get goin' early. The trio review the 20 Questions controversy stemming from the previous pod, and to NO ONE'S SURPRISE, Tandler isn't budging and thinks he's right when he's clearly wrong. After that early dust-up, JP brings up the departure of Scott Campbell and the rise of Kyle Smith, and explains why Smith could be Washington's future GM — and soon, too. He also relates the situation back to Sean McVay. Then, NBC Sports Washington's Rob Carlin joins the show to give 'Skins fans a short but sweet preview of the Capitals' series vs. the Lightning, because it's necessary for all DC sports fans to stick together and support the other squads in town. If you like podcasts where the future of the Redskins' front office is discussed and JP and Tandler's lack of hockey knowledge is exposed in about 30 seconds, 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.

By the end of this Redskins Talk, you're either going to say it was your favorite episode or your phone will be in the garbage can because you hated it so much. Let's hope it's the first one. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey get things moving by examining a list Pete created that ranks the 15 best mid-to-late round picks the 'Skins have made this century. And while it starts off poorly, the top half is pretty much widely accepted by JP, Rich and Mitch. But who's No. 1? After that, the four hosts each choose a mid-to-late rounder from the 2018 class that they each think could be the next Washington gem. That's where things get INTERESTING. First, there's Tandler unknowingly muting his phone in the middle of the pod, which is just fantastic. That is then followed by the first ever round of 20 questions, a game that Pete has been dying to debut on Redskins Talk for a while and a game that goes just DISASTROUSLY. Hopefully the listeners like it enough so it can make an appearance again, though. If you like podcasts that include bizarre requests regarding Tandler's backyard and lots of yelling, 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.

The Redskins Talk crew is in full force for this new edition of your favorite podcast. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey open things up with a recap of everyone's Cinco de Mayo — from Pete's awful bowling score to Tandler being a grump about the holiday — before getting into Shawn Lauvao's return. In that Lauvao chat, the four rank the team's options at left guard, debate whether the position's current makeup is acceptable and listen as JP drops very intriguing nuggets from a conversation he had with a starting 'Skins lineman. Then, Tandler walks the pod through a unique path Washington can take with Bashaud Breeland (one they must decide on soon) and whether it's a smart play to execute. The back portion of things is reserved for lots of breakfast talk, from a look at the types of breakfast potatoes to JP's curious stance on bacon. If you like podcasts where a Tandler-centric review is read and the left guard position is covered from all angles, 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.

This is a very fun Friday edition of Redskins Talk, listeners, so get ready. JP Finlay and an in-studio Rich Tandler open up with a brief intro before getting into a long interview with longtime NFL writer Don Banks, who is about as respected as they come in the business. As a Bostonian, Banks is a good guy to provide an outsider's opinion on the franchise, and he does so about their draft, Derrius Guice and the direction of the team. He's skeptical about Washington's choice not to draft Derwin James, for instance, but he's very impressed by what Jay Gruden has accomplished and thinks the coach should get more shine. After JP, Rich and Don's chat, the two pod hosts rank various minor injuries before getting confused about how to close things out, an exchange that Producer Pete leaves in for all the listeners to hear. If you like podcasts where Rich misses his La-Z-Boy and JP really defends Jay Gruden, 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.

The Redskins Talk crew opens up May with a fun edition of the program. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey make this episode happen from three different states and open it up by having a long chat about Bruce Allen. While the whole Kirk Cousins situation was a giant mess — no one can deny that — has Allen been as BAD as fans have made him out to be with everything else in his tenure in D.C.? It's an interesting chat full of different angles and points, and considering how much Allen draws a reaction from 'Skins fans, it's worth listening to. Then, JP and Rich go head-to-head and compare their recent 53-man roster projections, debating amongst themselves who will make the final cut and which rookies and veterans will be dropped. Other highlights of the episode: Pete owns up to a blogging botch and JP makes a major promise when it comes to reviews. If you like podcasts where Tandler talks his favorite topic — interior linemen — and Tress Way's punting numbers are examined, 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.

On Redskins Talk, there's no such thing as a post-draft break. Even though JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler all worked long hours during the actual draft, they're back for yet another pod covering what the team did during the NFL's biggest offseason event. The trio were all in attendance for Doug Williams' press conference on Monday, a presser in which he recapped all that went down in Rounds 1-7. So, JP, Rich and Mitch open the pod by reacting to what Doug said at the podium, analyzing things such as Williams' confidence in Derrius Guice and the team's plan at left guard. Then, they move into some housekeeping items — which includes a shoutout to the listeners for helping set a record on the pod for a FOURTH straight month — read another excellent review and then toss to JP's 1-on-1 interview with Williams. There, you'll hear Doug get particularly excited over Sean Dion Hamilton and Trey Quinn. If you like podcasts that continue to bring shine on the 2018 draft class and also include Mitch and Rich calling JP soft (and rightfully so), 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 and Rich Tandler are tired, ready for some alcohol and relieved that the NFL Draft is over. But the two Redskins Talk hosts also have something else in common: They're both very impressed with what Washington did with their eight picks. So, in this podcast, they wrap up everything that went down. From how excited JP is that the 'Skins landed Tim Settle in Round 5 to Tandler's praising of other late-round choices like Troy Apke and Greg Stroman, this edition of Redskins Talk will make you a little prouder to wear the Burgundy and Gold. If you like podcasts where JP does a horrible Jay Gruden impression while Tandler gets to brag about (somehow) nailing a seventh-round pick in one of his insane mock drafts, then this is the episode for you. (Sorry about the audio, by the way, the primary record went out, which you should blame JP for. -Producer Pete #GuiceIsNice)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Even though Rich Tandler wants to deny it, JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler are (properly) declaring this an EMERGENCY PODCAST. That's only fair when the Redskins end up with one of the draft's most talented players late in the second round. JP, Tandler and Mitch try to process the selection of Derrius Guice while sitting in a Redskins Park parking lot. There, Finlay talks about his impressions of the LSU RB (who he talked to at the Combine), while all three tout the insane value he presents Washington. They also discuss how his lack of pass catching may not be a huge deal. Guice wasn't the only 'Skins pick on Friday night, of course, and an excited Mitch gives his scouting report on Louisville lineman Geron Christian before grades are assigned for what the Burgundy and Gold have done through the first two nights of the draft. If you like podcasts where jets are constantly flying overhead and Tandler acts especially petty, 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.

The pick is in, folks, and it's Da'Ron Payne. So, how should YOU feel about that? That's what JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler are here to talk about. Topics covered include: Whether the Redskins made a mistake in not taking Derwin James or Tremaine Edmunds, how high Payne's ceiling is and what the pick says about how Washington views itself against other NFL teams. Also a part of this pod: Charley Casserly's pre-draft scouting report on the lineman as well as Chris Cooley's interesting take on the selection. If you like podcasts where Mitch is a little sad about not seeing one big man in the Burgundy and Gold but pretty happy to welcome another, and where Tandler is his usual mic-hogging self, 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.

We couldn't let Redskins Talk listeners have a draft day without a little content, so here's a bonus episode featuring an interview with Virginia Tech LB Tremaine Edmunds. Hear from the talented first-round prospect about what his pre-draft process has been like and what he's most comfortable doing at the next level. Who knows, this could just be who the 'Skins end up taking in Round 1, so you might as well do a little homework on him now.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You haven't heard a podcast like this one before, folks. What started as a crazy idea from JP Finlay turned into a MEGA MOCK draft, but only one that you Redskins fans will care about. Finlay solicited the opinion of 40-plus sports figures from around the DC area, asking each person who they think the Redskins will take in the first round. And the answers strayed all over the place, from both sides of the ball to picks that take place after trades and more. Included as guests: Larry Michael, the Sports Junkies, PFT Commenter, Chris Cooley, Brian Mitchell, Chick Hernandez, Fred Smoot, Santana Moss, Chad Dukes, George Wallace, Kevin Sheehan, METE and, of course, JP and Rich Tandler. If you like podcasts that are the perfect way to get you draft-ready, 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.

The Redskins Talk podcast's list of draft guests keeps getting stronger, as NFL Network's Charles Davis joins JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler on this edition. Davis is not only a draft analyst, but also a commentator who has done Redskins games in the past and knows what the team needs. In the interview, the two hosts ask the expert about whether Vita Vea is a steal or a reach at 13, and how Vea compares to other D-linemen such as Da'Ron Payne and Maurice Hurst. Then, Davis switches over to the other side of the ball and discusses a bunch of guard and tackle prospects. Don't rule out the team looking at tackle, he says, because of Trent Williams and Morgan Moses' injury history. Next, he evaluates the running backs, including Derrius Guice, before answering whether JP's dream scenario of Billy Price falling to Washington in the second round is even possible. If you like podcasts where Mitch gets giddy over the amount of large linemen talk, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Derwin-James-to-the-Redskins movement is picking up steam, so for this edition of Redskins Talk, JP Finlay invited Seminole Radio Network sideline reporter Tom Block on to talk about FSU's standout safety. In the interview, Block describes James as a missile and a physical freak (multiple times). So where does Block think James should be drafted? After that discussion, Block provides the names of some other 'Noles who will be drafted this year and who he thinks will have lengthy pro careers. If you like podcasts where some pretty sick Derwin James stories get told and where two guys bond over how nice of a guy Chris Thompson is, then this is the episode for you.

MEWMEWMEWMEWWWWWWWW (that's an airhorn noise). Now that the 2018 Redskins schedule is out, you need to listen to the Redskins Talk crew's take on it all. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to break down the primetime games, the Thanksgiving showdown and everything else related to your favorite football team's slate next year. Also included: They go game-by-game and make predictions that are 100-percent legit and not at all based on complete hunches and guesses. And finally, the greatest podcast review ever written gets its due thanks to a dramatic reading by JP. If you like podcasts where Tandler predicts that the 'Skins get off to a HOT start and Mitch already starts talking about making reservations at his favorite restaurants, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You want more draft insight? WELL YOU GOT MORE DRAFT INSIGHT. After an intro from JP Finlay in which he sets another podcast review milestone number and drops a little wisdom about drafting for future seasons and not just next season, JP and Mitch Tischler welcome draft pundit Josh Norris onto Redskins Talk. In the interview, Norris explains why he feels Derwin James is super underrated and why he's not so high on prospects such as Tremaine Edmunds and Minkah Fitzpatrick. He also drops plenty of Derrius Guice knowledge and some random interior offensive line players to keep an eye on, just because he can. If you like podcasts that'll continue to make you a smarter fan and where the guest borderline insults Mitch's love for Vita Vea , 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.

Joe Ferreira used to help make schedules for the NFL, making him an ideal guest to have on Redskins Talk since the NFL schedule release is coming at some point this week. First, Ferreira walks hosts JP Finlay and Rich Tandler through what the league thinks as it makes each team's schedule, including how it weighs travel, stadium sharing, conflicts with concerts and more. Then, he gives his week-by-week prediction of Washington's 2018 schedule. Will the Burgundy and Gold play on Thanksgiving again this year? How many times will they appear under the national spotlight? And who do they open against? If you like podcasts where the 'Skins are projected to play in two lit Monday Night games and you get inside info that's not available on many other pods, 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.

This edition of Redskins Talk is PACKED with info. First, JP Finlay and Rich Tandler cover the topic everyone's asking about: Dez Bryant. Among the things the hosts discuss: Whether the Redskins have the NEED for another wideout, why this is the type of move that fits with what Bruce Allen has done in the past and what Dez has left to give the 'Skins or any other NFL team. After that comes a fantastic interview with Washington Huskies beat reporter Ryan Clark, a guy who watched Vita Vea first-hand while the "almost video game character" was wrecking O-lines in college. What makes Vea great, and does he have an effort problem like some say he has? And finally, JP takes over to tell a story that involves his wife, some pizza and a trash bag. If you like podcasts that give definitive answers to your Dez Bryant questions and where Mitch finally gets to talk about his man-crush on Vita Vea, 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.
