Beltway Football

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Washington Football Talk — their final postgame edition of the season :( — by praising Sam Howell for what he showed against the Cowboys. From there, the guys explain why the victory over Dallas, while fun, was also frustrating. Other segments include a discussion about Taylor Heinicke's future, a round of Game Balls and a salute to one Commander who absolutely will be moving on after Week 18. Then, to close, you'll hear JP's one-on-ones with Howell and Khaleke Hudson. If you like podcasts where Pete (sorta) compares Howell to a yearly MVP candidate and JP creates the phrase "eat it and beat it," then this is the episode for you. Also — thanks for listening from the 2022 opener to the closer, pod fans. It's unbelievably appreciated.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are previewing a Commanders game for the final time of the season. During their time together, the guys let you know who WON'T be playing for Washington, get into a mini-controversy involving this weekend's Sonny Jurgensen festivities and each identify a single play that they believe defined the Commanders' 2022 campaign. Then, they toss to JP's one-on-one chat with Sam Howell, who explains how he and his teammates reacted to the news of him being named starter and what his relationship with Taylor Heinicke and Carson Wentz is like. If you like podcasts where Pete once again voices his support of Antonio Gibson and JP asks for a retroactive apology but is largely denied, 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.

Before getting to the Sam Howell news, JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey first let a few members of the Commanders reflect on the Damar Hamlin situation. Once Ron Rivera, Terry McLaurin and Khaleke Hudson (one of Hamlin's longtime friends) comment, the three hosts return to steer the show back toward this weekend's Washington-Dallas contest, one that'll include a new starting quarterback. So, the guys chat about Howell's first start before wondering who the hell else is going to be on the field with him. Once they're all finished, they toss to JP's recent one-on-one with Rivera, where the head coach walks JP through the team's downfall and what he's hoping to accomplish in the future. If you like podcasts where there's already questions about how many Commanders QBs will play NEXT season and Pete busts out a cheesy new nickname for the squad that only Mitch approves 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.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are........ fed up. While being fed up together, they discuss how fed up they are with the way that the Commanders played versus the Browns, what's got them most fed up about Ron Rivera presently and overall and why Carson Wentz's performance has them fed up. If you like podcasts where the hosts are fed up, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Washington Football Talk by discussing a topic that's right up Mitch's alley: snaps from the center. From there, the guys run through the Commanders' injury concerns ahead of the matchup vs. the Browns, handle their typical pregame segments and, lastly, toss to JP's 1-on-1 interview with Chase Young, where the pass rusher reacts to his 2022 debut and explains why he's so reenergized. If you like podcasts where the last name of Cleveland's offensive coordinator sparks a random conversation that ultimately goes nowhere, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have a new (but also not that new) starting quarterback to discuss in this Washington Football Talk. The trio, obviously, spends the bulk of the show analyzing Ron Rivera's choice to switch out Taylor Heinicke in favor of Carson Wentz as they wonder whether the big decision will prove to be correct and what the mood at the facility was like on Wednesday after the depth chart adjustment was finalized. The guys also chat about the state of the offensive line, Chase Young's non-concerning Wednesday absence and a potentially disturbing trend that could impact Washington this weekend. Lastly, they toss to JP's interview with Ron Rivera that was recorded on Tuesday pre-Wentz announcement but still includes valuable context on what Ron was weighing as he pondered the situation as well as his review of Young's season debut. If you like podcasts where Mitch identifies a sneaky signal-caller he'd like to see in burgundy and gold in 2023 and also recounts his hellacious journey back from San Fran, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have a blowout loss but, more crucially, a quarterback change to discuss. During their time together, the hosts give their reactions to Ron Rivera pulling Taylor Heinicke for Carson Wentz and, honestly, are mostly in agreement that it was the proper call. After walking through that major decision, they bounce between thoughts on the shellacking in San Fran, analysis on how Chase Young looked in his season debut and a conversation about whether Washington can revive its playoff hopes one more time. Lastly, JP talks to Terry McLaurin one-on-one, and in that interview, the star explains how he'll handle the QB change and also tells a charming story about something he did for a young fan pregame. If you like podcasts where JP educates Pete about the Golden Gate Bridge and there's a breakdown of Wentz's unique wardrobe, 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, Mitch Tischler, Pete Hailey and the Richmond Times-Dispatch's Michael Phillips are here for your all-encompassing preview of Commanders-49ers. To start, the guys answer a simple question: Does Washington actually have a chance to win on Saturday? One member of the show says no right off the bat, while another goes as far to predict a victory. The hosts also chat about the possibility of a near-future change at quarterback and share their various thoughts on the Chase Young situation (NOTE: This was recorded before Thursday's news that Young will debut on Saturday). From there, you'll hear JP's one-on-ones with Ron Rivera, where the head coach shares just how close he was to switching out Taylor Heinicke for Carson Wentz on Sunday evening, and Charles Leno Jr., where the tackle discusses his candidacy for the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Lastly, the foursome returns to open a sweet gift from Phillips. If you like podcasts where Pete demonstrates once again how clueless he is with directions/geography and playoff ice fishing plans are made, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are cranky, and not just because they recorded this Washington Football Talk well past midnight. In addition to that, the hosts are bitter about how the Commanders handled their Sunday night game versus the Giants. They're also perturbed by the refs' performance. During their time together, the trio hits on both of those topics and also chat about Taylor Heinicke and if he's going to stay in the starting lineup the rest of the way. There's also a segment featuring predictions on whether this season ends in a playoff berth or not. Lastly, you'll hear JP's one-on-one interview with Jahan Dotson, one of the few guys who didn't disappoint in Week 15. If you like podcasts where JP has to dodge multiple threats on the highway but perseveres through the hoopla, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are about to deliver you so much content ahead of this Sunday's much-anticipated NFC East primetime clash, so be ready. First, the guys open up the show by talking through the Commanders' injury situation, as they discuss the center lineup and how Benjamin St-Juste's potential return is looking. Then, they quickly touch on how Taylor Heinicke must be better here in this final stretch before JP recaps his trip to the league meetings in Dallas. From there, they handle their usual pregame segments — and each predict a Washington win — before tossing to two interviews. First, JP sits down with Ron Rivera, who explains the trust he and his players are building between each other and what lies between Chase Young and his 2022 debut finally happening. Secondly, Pete chats with Curtis Samuel, who describes just how down he was in 2021 with his groin problem and how rewarding this campaign has been. If you like podcasts where JP is blissfully unaware of the month and Pete vetoes a Mitch-led segment about a backup-backup lineman, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Washington Football Talk by remarking about how well the bye week went for the Commanders and their playoff odds before wondering what the environment at FedEx Field will be like for this coming Sunday night's massive matchup with the Giants. After that, JP catches the guys up on his busy week, which will include a stop at the league's next set of owner's meetings in Dallas. What will that get-together be like and will anything notable occur? Then, to close, you'll get — and this is Pete's dream — a compilation of the show's most shticky segments, which includes Mitch's ridiculous call from Oktoberfest in Germany and a throwback to our guy Tandler's love of cheesy humor. If you like podcasts where JP channels his inner Ron Rivera and you get 10 different shtick-filled conversations from the past, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey all weigh in on the Oversight Committee's report on the Commanders, the team's culture and Dan Snyder, which was released on Thursday.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey, like you, are a bit perplexed as to how to feel following Washington's tie with New York. During their time together, the guys try to decide whether the result is a positive or negative one overall, lament many of the penalties that were called/not called during the contest, have another debate about who should be the starting QB moving forward — one host thinks a change is coming — and discuss who stood out for the right and wrong reasons at MetLife Stadium. To close, you'll hear JP catch up with Terry McLaurin, who explains his reaction to the tie and recaps the club's clutch fourth-quarter drive. If you like podcasts where Mitch delivers another bold proclamation and Pete and JP decry the "It's like kissing your sister" phrase that's used to describe ties, 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.

Then, to wrap, you'll hear Daron Payne's chat with JP, where the talented defensive tackle explains what he's supporting for the My Cause, My Cleats campaign and whether making the Pro Bowl is on his mind at all. If you like episodes where Pete's reception is incredibly spotty and his co-hosts LOVE it, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey start off this Washington Football Talk by dispersing their 100 Chips as to whether Chase Young will debut or not this Sunday before discussing the possibility that the Commanders will sweep the Giants in the clubs' next two meetings. From there, the guys celebrate "Proclamation Wednesday," a totally made-up holiday that seemed to gain serious steam thanks to the listeners.

Lastly, you'll hear JP's one-on-one interview with Ron Rivera, where the coach analyzes Brian Robinson Jr.'s excellent recent stretch and reflects on winning his 100th game in the NFL. If you like podcasts where Mitch gets defensive about his so-called flawless tech and JP is shook about whether his proclamation is proclamation-y enough, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are ready to boast about another three-game winning streak, which is not something they're used to but is definitely something they could get used to! During their time together, the hosts give their general thoughts on the close win over the Falcons, analyze the "vibes avalanche" that this club is becoming, recap the franchise's, um, interesting Sean Taylor installation and pass out a ton of Game Balls.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey gathered for one last Washington Football Talk before Thanksgiving, and it's a loaded one. In it, the guys discuss the Commanders needing to re-sign Daron Payne this offseason, react to Carson Wentz's first press conference in quite some time and preview the upcoming contest with the Falcons. Once they're done, you'll hear two interviews that JP got, with the first featuring Montez Sweat and the second featuring Ron Rivera. Both, as usual, are worth listening to. If you like podcasts where Sweat breaks down his cooking skills and JP hosts a random game of "Guess that QB's QBR!", 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are uniting for yet another victory version of Washington Football Talk, a fact that pleases them greatly. During their time together, the trio praises the Commanders for not messing around versus the Texans, gushes about the defense and discusses Taylor Heinicke's position as the starter moving forward. Once they're done (and before JP's blood pressure reaches a record high), they toss to JP's one-on-ones with Kendall Fuller and Curtis Samuel, the two members of Washington's roster that scored on Sunday. If you like podcasts where Mitch comes up with a wildly random answer in the "What Made You Smile?" segment and JP gets super salty about his Wi-Fi situation but ultimately manages to keep his cool, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are in jolly spirits for this preview of the Houston matchup, but first, the guys briefly discuss Chase Young as well as the state of Washington's offensive line. From there, they then preview the Commanders' trip to see the Texans, and all three end up predicting a pretty breezy victory for Ron Rivera's squad. What could go wrong?!?!?!!!?!?!? Lastly, JP sits down with Benjamin St-Juste, who describes what it's like to play behind such a talented defensive line and his mood after being flagged for a couple of pass interferences in the last two weeks. If you like podcasts where Pete and JP each agree to a side bet against one another and somebody thinks Sam Howell might get mop-up duty on Sunday, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey assembled for another installment of Washington Football Talk, which begins with the news that the Commanders will soon assemble for another installment of the Taylor Heinicke Show. From there, the trio discusses whether the postgame celebration on Monday in Philly was too much, which leads into a segment on their level of concern about a possible letdown this weekend in Houston. There's also a little Chase Young chatter, as his short-term future remains a bit murky.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey truly cannot believe that they're discussing a Washington win, but they are discussing a WASHINGTON WIN over the previously-undefeated Eagles in this installment of their beloved program. During their time together, the guys do it all, from praising Ron Rivera, Taylor Heinicke and the relentless rushing attack from Monday night to detailing how electric the locker room scene was to doling out game ball after game ball after game ball. Eventually, you'll also hear JP's one-on-one interviews with Brian Robinson Jr. and Darrick Forrest, who both contributed in major ways to the upset.

During their time together, the guys try to get a feel on where the Commanders' heads are at after yet another tumultuous week for the club, bring up a couple of ways Washington can try to take advantage of their undefeated foe and wonder if Taylor Heinicke is playing for the starting QB job — or if it's already spoken for regardless of what happens in the game. If you like podcasts where the hosts try to figure out in which context the Commanders may say "F— this" heading into such an important matchup (you'll get it when you listen), 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey, of course, have lots of non-football drama to recap in this Washington Football Talk, as the guys chat about the DC Attorney General's Thursday press conference related to Dan Snyder, Snyder's team and the NFL.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are sad to report that the Commanders' winning streak is no more, as the team fell to the Vikings in crushing fashion in Week 9. During their time together, the hosts lament how Washington failed to finish in the fourth quarter, discuss an offense that appears stuck in 17-point land and check in on Mitch, who still believes Dan Snyder is most likely to sell a minority stake in the club. You'll also get JP's one-on-one with Curtis Samuel, who hauled in one of the weirder TDs you'll ever see. If you like podcasts where Mitch compares Heinicke to a knuckleball pitcher and the Commanders' dedication to empty sets on offense is questioned, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are coming at you from their hotel in Indy after Washington's rousing victory over the Colts (and they're wearing shirts, for the record).

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are bringing positive vibes with 'em into this Washington Football Talk, which begins with Chase Young chatter. Why wasn't Young activated on Wednesday, and when he is ultimately activated, how will he fit in on the thriving defensive line?

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here for a very muted victory edition of Washington Football Talk, and for good reason. That win in Chicago was not pleasant to watch. However, the guys begin the show by identifying one true positive from the contest, and then they discuss other aspects from the game including Carson Wentz's performance and Ron Rivera's postgame tirade. Lastly, JP catches up with Brian Robinson Jr., who was easily the best story of the evening. If you like podcasts where you get to tag along with JP as he buys nose spray from CVS, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey thought they'd only be recording a postgame Washington Football Talk on Thursday, which was silly of them, because well before kickoff in Chicago, ESPN dropped a massive piece about Dan Snyder, his relationship with other owners and a whole lot more. So, the guys convened for this bonus edition of their show to discuss that (and also William Jackson III's reported trade request). So, listen to this and then check back with them after the Bears game. Sigh.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to pass along their analysis of Ron Rivera's messy Monday presser, one that sparked a lot of discussion locally and nationally. The guys also touch on how Carson Wentz reacted to what Rivera said and what else about the coach's initial presser was so difficult to listen to. Nothing like 1-4 with a side of off-field drama! From there, the trio runs through their pregame segments for what may be an unsightly but what is also nonetheless a crucial matchup with the Bears coming up on Thursday. Lastly, you'll hear JP's weekly one-on-one with Ron, which was recorded after his controversial Monday media session. If you like podcasts where Mitch gets trolled now that the Mets are out of the playoffs and JP attempts to sit out 100 Chips before being accosted by one of his co-hosts, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are... simultaneously discouraged and fed up. In this installment of their program, which was recorded after yet another loss because that's all they'll ever see, the guys discuss Ron Rivera's weird clock management, William Jackson III, Carson Wentz, the direction of the overall organization and much more. They try their damndest to make it fun, but in reality, there's not much fun going on around the Commanders these days. JP curses a bunch, so if that's up your alley, you're in luck. If you like podcasts where Pete makes show history and Mitch signing a fan's belly is rehashed, 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, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Washington Football Talk by discussing the splendid return of Brian Robinson Jr. and what the mood was like at practice with him back on the field. After that, they turn their attention to more troublesome topics, such as the club's never-settled offensive line, before knocking out their typical pregame segments. From there, they toss to JP's one-on-one interview with Scott Turner, who explains to JP the kinds of conversations he's having with his offense as well as how he's his toughest critic.
