Beltway Football

This podcast is such a full house that it feels weird not to have Bob Saget on it. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler, Chick Hernandez and Pete Hailey are the starting 5 for this episode, which continues to dive into Kirk Cousins' relationship with the Redskins. What should be made of Jay Gruden's comments that he doesn't want to go through "another" one-year deal? Is there a disconnect between the head coach and the QB? And what did this weekend's playoff games teach us about where No. 8 stands in the hierarchy of passers? Also included: Pete's awful flop after JP kindly set him up to contribute for once as well as some news about when Redskins Talk will be published in the offseason.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 Mitch Tischler are here after their field trip out to Jammin' Java for Kirk Cousins' end-of-year radio interview to analyze all that the QB said. A lot was revealed and there's a lot to take away, including the general feel that this thing may be heading toward the transition tag and the revelation that the Redskins actually were ready to offer a deal to Cousins late in 2015 but his side decided not to entertain it. The trio then answers the main question: Should fans feel better about a Cousins return after the event?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The day after being named a Hall of Fame finalist for the third time, Joe Jacoby was kind enough to join JP Finlay on this episode of Redskins Talk. Finlay and the Washington star discuss Jacoby's favorite Super Bowl, the one, epic time he scored a touchdown and whether or not he feels those talented 'Skins teams are represented enough in the Hall of Fame. Finlay also presents a compelling theory about why this time may be different for the Hall hopeful, a theory that Jacoby buys in to.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 were in attendance for Jay Gruden's last presser of the 2017 season, and now they're here to explain all that was said for Redskins Talk listeners. From inside the Mobile Podcast Studio, the two break down Gruden's interesting evaluation of Kirk Cousins' year, his response to some Colt McCoy questions and the coach's thoughts on the injuries and his team's training staff. Tandler also gets a chance to talk about his special man-crush of the 2018 draft, while JP drops in a juicy nugget about Wyoming QB Josh Allen.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"The guys were more interested in standing around the heaters on the sideline," Mitch Tischler says early on in this edition of Redskins Talk, and he was not wrong. Tischler, along with JP Finlay and Rich Tandler, did their best to come up with answers after the 'Skins laid an "eggturd" in New York, but they came up with more questions. Was this the worst game of Kirk Cousins' career? Was it ugly enough to cost Jay Gruden his job? And why did JP give a game ball to a paper bag?

Borderline podcast regular John Keim joins hosts JP Finlay and Rich Tandler for this pre-Week 17 edition of Redskins Talk. The three reporters open by trying to find some silver linings from the back-half of the 2017 season, so bring your half-full glasses for that. They then move into yet another Kirk Cousins discussion, but this one's interesting because they poke some holes in the teams that many expect Cousins to head to if he leaves D.C. and also come to the conclusion that at some point, this back-and-forth needs to stop — and it may stop this offseason.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Proving that not all presents have to come on Christmas day, Chick Hernandez joins this edition of Redskins Talk alongside JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey.

The second half of the pod is made up of other important topics, like Tandler bragging about picking up yet another Apple product on Xmas, Pete asking the other three if they'd let him live in their basements and JP explaining his problem with a hat he received.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From Heisman Trophy winners to a former Jay Gruden pupil, JP Finlay and Rich Tandler use the beginning of this podcast to break down eight realistic (sorry, Tony Romo and RG3 lovers) options who could replace Kirk Cousins should the Redskins lose him this offseason.

This pod's a crowded one, as JP Finlay and Rich Tandler were kind enough to invite Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey on-board.

Next, they move on into an interesting hypothetical involving Kirk Cousins and Zach Brown and close with a chat on Redskins great Nate Sudfeld.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The second half of the episode is where Finlay's chat with Washington star Ricky Sanders takes place, and the two chat about how The Posse got its name, what he remembers from his Super Bowl victories and, finally, how RIDICULOUS it is that Sanders isn't in the team's Ring of Fame.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay opens the podcast by discussing the amount of money the Redskins have sitting on their injured reserve (it's a pretty obscene amount), which is followed by Rich Tandler explaining why Jordan Reed won't be traded in the near future.
