Beltway Football

You WISH you knew college football like ESPN and NBC Sports Washington's Trevor Matich knew football. Therefore, he's the perfect guest for this Draft Month edition of Redskins Talk. After an intro featuring the usual suspects plus an IN STUDIO Rich Tandler, the hosts quiz Matich on the key questions you all are wondering about. Who's a better fit at 13 for the 'Skins, Da'Ron Payne or Vita Vea? How about Derwin James or Minkah Fitzpatrick? And are there any under-the-radar RBs worth keeping track of? (Hint: Yes, Matich has one). If you like podcasts that alternate between conversations on beef jerky, beefing up the D-Line and Tandler being a jerk, then this is the episode for you. And, oh yeah, tell a friend about Redskins Talk and then tweet @TandlerNBCS about telling your friend.

Hello, Redskin fans. You want to hear more from your new QB, don't you? Well, you've come to the right place. On April 11, Alex Smith held a Q&A session with Redskins season ticket members inside of the FedEx Field locker room, and we have that audio for you in this edition of the podcast. After an intro from JP Finlay and Mitch Tischler that sets the scene, you'll hear all of JP's questions as well as questions from the fans who were in attendance of the event. Among the topics covered in the fun, lengthy conversation: How Smith feels about compiling wins and losses vs. compiling stats, an old and new teammate he can't wait to play with, and the confusion he faced after arriving in D.C. when he came across the phrase "HTTR." After, JP and Mitch wrap up with their impressions of the evening and also read an ALL-TIME great review that name drops Reed Doughty.

Moore, a speedy target who's a Round 2 lock and could sneak into Round 1.

It took Pete a while, but he was able to set up a conference call so that he, JP Finlay and Rich Tandler could get together and give you all a new edition of Redskins Talk. The trio start off by talking about RG3's signing with the Ravens, whether or not he can find a home in Baltimore and why it seems like this is the year where the intense feelings and opinions around the QB have finally calmed down. Then, they go rapid fire on topics including Derrius Guice, Phil Taylor's most recent comeback attempt, the Redskins wanting to trade down and a new thing that listeners should start doing NOW. If you like podcasts where no one's around to mute Pete and JP brags a bit more about his "mancation" at the Masters, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey got up early on a Sunday morning for this Redskins Talk podcast, so you know it's an important one. After Tandler and JP complain about their St. Patrick's Days, the three move into a Johnathan Hankins discussion, and explain why he's worth a big deal and how he'd really improve the Redskins defense. Orlando Scandrick, meanwhile, wouldn't do much for that unit, the group agrees. Next, JP and Rich go back and forth on their dream draft scenarios, before a nice closing discussion in which two hosts ask the third for dog advice. If you like podcasts where Tandler explains obscure salary cap rules and Pete's hopped up on sugar, 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.

So, in this episode, you'll hear a brief intro from the two hosts, an exclusive 1-on-1 interview with Smith that aired on "Redskins 100," and then reaction to how the QB and the WR handled themselves at the podium.

Coming at you from the Mobile Podcast Studio, the two Redskins Talk hosts explain why the move is a home run for the team and how it changes the complexion of the entire offseason. Your favorite part, however, may be Tandler trying to make an alarm noise, which ended up sounding more like a goose. If you like podcasts with a lot of enthusiasm and praise for a Redskins 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.

What better way to open up the new league year than with a Redskins Talk podcast featuring JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Chick Hernandez and Pete Hailey? The four guys use this episode to officially welcome the Redskins first free agent addition, Paul Richardson, and try and figure out how much he'll change the offense. They then examine how quickly the Redskins have moved on from the majority of their 2014 draft class, and whether each of those decisions to let those players go were smart or not. Also included: Random donkey noises from Chick and what may be the greatest open in Redskins Talk history. If you like podcasts where JP complains often about a tiny cut on his hand and Paul Richardson gets compared to DeSean Jackson, 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.

While the Redskins were quiet during the opening hours of the free agency tampering period, this episode of Redskins Talk is anything but quiet. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got together for this all-encompassing pod, one that touched on everything from how Muhammad Wilkerson could really elevate the team's defensive line (at what cost, though?) to how important Paul Richardson is becoming now that Allen Robinson is off the board to if Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is a corner worth investing in even at age 31. If you like podcasts where Tandler is proven wrong and where a bunch of storylines are discussed in just 30 minutes, 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 know the Redskins have a new QB, and you're dying to know more about this new QB. So, with that in mind, JP Finlay invited ESPN's Chiefs reporter Adam Teicher on for this episode of Redskins Talk and asked Teicher all sorts of questions about Alex Smith. Among the topics covered: How much football Smith has left, where Smith is better and worse than Kirk Cousins, whether the veteran can duplicate his fantastic 2017 season and what the Redskins must do to make Smith comfortable in Washington's offense.

Pauline and Finlay start with a detailed conversation about Da'Ron Payne and Vita Vea, two defensive linemen who are very realistic targets for the Redskins at pick 13. You're going to want to hear Pauline's HIGH praise for Payne as well as his one major issue with Vea. Then, the two rip through other future rookies such as Derwin James, Tremaine Edmunds and Calvin Ridley.

The podcast studio is full again (and smelly this time), as JP Finlay, Chick Hernandez, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are all together in Bethesda and also joined on the phone by Rich Tandler for this Redskins Talk episode. Things open with some more news about the Podcast Party and a reading of one of the best Redskins Talk reviews you'll ever come across. Then, Tandler gives and update on two moves the Giants and Eagles have made and what those moves mean for the NFC East. And after that, JP addresses the rumors that people in the Redskins' organization are very interested in Lamar Jackson, which is followed by a long conversation on why — unless something drastic changes — Washington should not take the QB in the draft. If you like podcasts that clarify really juicy rumors and end with Mitch Tischler airhorns, 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.

Things are normal on Redskins Talk again — JP Finlay is back from Indy, Rich Tandler is back in his lazy boy and Mitch Tischler is back talking about the big men. After a quick wrap up of the Combine, the three jump into free agent talk, with each of them identifying three bigger- and smaller-name players they think the Redskins could show interest in when the market opens. Following that lengthy topic, JP gets salty about Beltway traffic and also tells an embarrassing story from his time in Indianapolis. And finally(!!!), the Podcast Party date, time and location are announced, which calls for multiple airhorns. Get it on your calendar, listeners, because it's almost here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Before leaving Indy and the Combine, JP Finlay decided to produce one more podcast, and he recruited ESPN's John Keim to join the fun, too. After talking to tons of people at the event about Kirk Cousins, the two reporters provide an update on what teams are definitely going to be in on Cousins and speculate about how the money will influence where he ends up. Then, in the second half, they cover a variety of topics, with the best discussions dealing with how it seems like the Redskins are intent on remaking their running back position — don't miss the free agent they think Washington's interested in — as well as whether the team will still want to take a passer in the draft.

In the last episode, you heard from Doug Williams. In this one, you get to check in with Jay Gruden. After another intro from JP Finlay — in which he updates you on the surprisingly fun experience of watching draft prospects go through the bench press at the NFL Combine — you'll have a chance to listen to the Redskins' head coach answer a ton of questions. Among them: Is he relieved to finally have some QB stability? Where does his offense need some help? And what does he look for when talking to future players at the event in Indy? If you like podcasts that use phrases and words like "army of narcs" and "bangers" as well as ones with great access to your favorite team's coach, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Because JP Finlay is in Indianapolis for the NFL Combine, he's running into members of the Redskins he hasn't talked to in a while. One of those people is Doug Williams, who Finlay interviewed along with a small group of other DC media members. And, because Redskins Talk cares about its listeners, we've taken that audio and put it into podcast form. After a brief intro from JP in which he provides various updates on Zach Brown and Su'a Cravens, listen as Williams dismisses the idea of a tag and trade featuring Kirk Cousins, makes clear his desire for a running back upgrade and jokes about the money QBs are making these days.

JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are excited for the NFL Combine and they're here to make sure you are as well. After JP quickly provides background info on a major Pete error from the last edition of Redskins Talk that was edited out, the four podcasters each name a Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 draft prospect they're watching in Indy and that Redskins fans should familiarize themselves with. From a potential nose tackle to a star running back to a Canadian who played at a Division II school, these are players worth keeping an eye on.

Get your NFL Combine week started off right by hanging out with JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and this edition of Redskins Talk. The episode can essentially be divided into two halves. In the first, the trio dissect Pete's ranking of all 15 first-round picks the 'Skins have made in the draft since the turn of the century, and in the second, JP and Mitch square off in a HEATED game where they're forced to guess Burgundy and Gold players based off of the numbers they put up in past Combines.

A guy some Redskins fans are probably familiar with, Santana Moss, was kind enough to join JP Finlay, Chick Hernandez and Pete Hailey on this episode of Redskins Talk, and he brought his A-game. The former 'Skins star first gives insight on a few wide receiver-related topics before laying out his strong opinion about Su'a Cravens. Then, Moss explains why he's still so amped up about the Alex Smith trade, a feeling he's had since the deal first went down. And, finally, 89 wraps the pod with a well-told, hilarious story about the day he posted his insane 40-yard dash time. Here's a sneak peek: He ran it so fast, some coaches thought their stopwatches were broken.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What you'll hear on this podcast is the best conversations with Galette, including why he wants to stay in D.C., if the team would welcome back Su'a Cravens, his evaluation of Alex Smith and Kirk Cousins and a rapid fire round of questions where he identifies Washington's worst trash talker.

A sick JP Finlay, comfy Rich Tandler, much tanner Mitch Tischler and semi-muted Pete Hailey banded together for this edition of Redskins Talk and, for once, covered a bunch of topics without much distraction. First, they analyze what's going on with Su'a Cravens by wondering if the locker room would accept him, what the Redskins could fetch in a trade for him and ultimately whether they think he's back in DC next season. Then, JP brings up one of his tweets (shocker) and discusses whether fans threatening to quit the 'Skins over Kirk Cousins leaving are actually going to do so. Other, later topics include Zach Brown's positive social media behavior and whether AJ McCarron could affect Cousins' future.

A sick, nose-wiping JP Finlay is joined on this pod by Rich Tandler, Chick Hernandez and Pete Hailey, and the four cover a lot during their time on the mics. The episode opens with a recap of Alex Smith's comments about joining the Redskins and then moves on to a comparison between Smith and Kirk Cousins' numbers. Things take a turn, though, when Tandler suggests that 10 wins next season is "reasonable" for the 'Skins, a suggestion that the other three vehemently disagree with. After a long debate, this edition wraps up with Tandler talking up Preston Smith (yes, again) and some back-and-forth about what everyone's doing on Valentine's Day. Be sure to note how often Chick complains about JP and Pete throughout.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 ESPN's John Keim were all set to have a nice podcast talk about Preston Smith, tagging and trading and other topics — and then the Jimmy Garoppolo news broke. So the three pivoted into an episode focused on Jimmy G's deal and how it relates to Kirk Cousins, the Redskins and Alex Smith. How were the situations in San Fran and D.C. different? Between Garoppolo, Cousins and Smith — considering their current prices — which QB is the best option moving forward? And what kind of milk does JP prefer?

JP Finlay's back from Minnesota and is joined by Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey for this edition of Redskins Talk. The guys open by (mostly) dismissing the tag and trade speculation surrounding Kirk Cousins after JP shares stories from his time at the Super Bowl (be sure to listen to the one about how he crashed and burned during an Al Michaels interview and let him know about it, too). Then, the pod transitions into an interview with author John Feinstein, who is writing a book about NFL quarterbacks — and conveniently enough, one of his subjects is Alex Smith. Feinstein sheds light on all things Smith, including his personality, his intelligence and how he'll fit in with his new team. If you're looking for new nuggets on Washington's new leader, 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.

Redskins Talk's run of excellent guests continues in this episode, as Vernon Davis — who has caught more TDs from Alex Smith than any other player — talks with JP Finlay about Smith's arrival and how people mislabel the passer. Then, Mitch Tischler and Chick Hernandez welcome Jason Campbell — who was taken in the first round of the 2005 draft, like Smith — on to the pod, and Campbell explains why he thinks the 'Skins should still draft a quarterback early this year.

The Super Bowl is fantastic because you can talk to so many people involved in football, and JP Finlay does just that in this episode of Redskins Talk. First, JP chats with 1998's second overall pick Ryan Leaf, who had a wild career on the field and has also really learned a lot off of it. Leaf gives his insight into what's going on with Kirk Cousins and also explains why Baker Mayfield is his favorite passer prospect this year. Then, JP catches up with two former Redskins who are hoping to pick up a ring on Sunday: Ricky Jean Francois and Nate Sudfeld. How does RJF look back on his time in D.C.? Will Sudfeld still answer JP's texts if his Eagles beat the Pats? Those questions and much more are covered in the interviews.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Aside from the time JP Finlay recorded a live pod at NBC Sports Washington's holiday party, this is about as interesting a setup as you'll find on Redskins Talk. This go-round, JP calls Rich Tandler from the back of a Lyft, and the two get to chat for the first time in a while before Finlay gets to the airport and departs for the Super Bowl. They begin by listing which of the four main outcomes they think is most likely to play out between Kirk Cousins and the Redskins, and then they move on to two more important contract situations regarding Zach Brown and Preston Smith. In Tandler's eyes, fans need to appreciate one of those defenders a lot more. Finally, they debate which of the area airports is their favorite and, duh, there's a disagreement.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay didn't just talk to the quarterback prospects while in Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl; he also caught up with Jay Gruden and Vice President of Player Personnel Doug Williams there, too. In his interviews with the two decision-makers, JP asks about how Kirk Cousins' contract uncertainty affects the team's operations while scouting QB prospects, what exactly they're looking for in the young guys and whether there's tension between Cousins and the 'Skins.

If you're interested in the 2018 quarterback class, then you can't hit play on this episode fast enough. While in Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl, JP Finlay interviewed Wyoming's Josh Allen, Oklahoma State's Mason Rudolph, Washington State's Luke Falk and Western Kentucky's Mike White.

Here's your chance to get to know them.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 recorded this episode following the NFL's conference championship games while sitting in their respective comfy office chairs. The best pair in podcasting begin by analyzing what went down between the Jags and Pats and the Eagles and Vikings and try and figure out what the Redskins can take away from the NFL's top teams. They then talk about the quarterback position, but not about the guy you're used to hearing them discuss. Instead, JP and Tandler debate which prospect is more interesting between Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield, since JP is heading to Alabama to cover some of the Senior Bowl, where both young passers will be. Finally, the pod wraps with a celebration of an amazing accomplishment by Tandler, so make sure you have the champagne bottles ready.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 open up this podcast by discussing how Jay Gruden's seat may actually be cooler in 2018 if Kirk Cousins doesn't return. They also chat about Tandler's impressive beer-drinking habits. Most of the episode belongs to Finlay's interview with NBC Sports analyst Chris Simms, though, and the former QB gives a ton of great thoughts on what's going on with Cousins. Included: Why he thinks Jay Gruden's end-of-year assessment of No. 8 wasn't fair at all, his opinion on the importance of building a strong team around Cousins and his evaluation of Washington's chances if a rookie or Colt McCoy are starting next year instead.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 your podcast guides on yet another loaded offseason episode. To open, the four discuss whether the Redskins should look to extend other 2015 draft picks like Brandon Scherff and Preston Smith, since they're trying to get a new deal done with Jamison Crowder. Then, the pod jumps into an interview with Sports Business Journal's John Ourand, who goes back and forth with Finlay over whether playing in the nation's capital carries extra value to Kirk Cousins' marketability as opposed to, say, Jacksonville or Denver. The final few minutes are then devoted to the return of Tandler's Got Jokes, and Swaggy T absolutely brings the goods.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There's a lot of fun stuff happening on this edition of Redskins Talk.
