Get ready for one of the more special Washington Football Talks to exist, and that's saying something, because a LOT of Washington Football Talks exist. Anyways... this is a huge week for the show; Sep. 6 marked its five-year anniversary, and a few days from now, the man who started it all — JP Finlay — is celebrating a momentous birthday. So, in order to commemorate both events, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey rounded up a bunch of very important people to pay tribute to both the podcast as well as its Day 1 host. After all of those messages conclude, you'll then hear a few pieces of old content from the program's early, early, early days (which features our dear friend Rich Tandler).

JP Finlay, Pete Hailey and John Keim get this Redskins Talk started by giving their thoughts on the Dwayne Haskins/offensive line sideline video that’s taken over Twitter. Was Haskins in the right? Why was the O-line so quiet? Those questions and more are answered in that segment. Then, you’ll get JP’s interview with Bill Callahan, where JP asks the coach for his thoughts on the rookie QB’s development on top of plenty of other things you’re surely wondering about. Lastly, because Washington isn’t providing any real victory podcasts these days, you’ll get a replay of an old one after a win over the Eagles from 2016, where the team was better and the conversation was actually fun. If you like podcasts where JP, Pete and Keim all get a little emo at once and you get a helping of Rich Tandler to make your Monday better, then this is the episode for you.

Week 1 was so promising, but the Redskins couldn't build on it in their Week 2 loss to the visiting Colts. It wasn't a fun matchup, but JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Rich Tandler did their best to sort through the wreckage after. Here, you'll have a chance to hear their analysis from that September result.
As the offseason continues, we bring you the first of a special series where we'll replay postgame podcasts from the 2018 season. Here, you get to relive Week 1 as JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler break down Washington's 24-6 win in Arizona.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey got together after a long, wild, emotional day at FedEx Field to recap all that went down during Week 7. First, the guys run through all of the spectacular tributes to Rich Tandler that the team and others put together, of which there were plenty. They also wonder if Tandler a had a little bit to do with Preston Smith's massive TD and that final field goal hitting the upright. Then, they take a look at the important game, from the way the 'Skins bottled up Ezekiel Elliott to the contributions they're continuing to get from Adrian Peterson. But the trio knows things aren't perfect, as they start to wonder what's up with Alex Smith and the offense. If you like podcasts where Pete shows he has NO knowledge of how to lease a car and Mitch gets to devote lots of attention on the big men, then this is the episode for you.

Had Prescott's week one ankle injury been a factor in his lack of run plays for through the first five weeks? We discuss it. - Sean Lee returns to the football field this weekend, but some Cowboys fans appear to be mounting a campaign to ship him out. We'll talk about why that would be a crucial mistake. - We preview this week's game against the Redskins and say goodbye to show friend Rich Tandler #DallasCowboys #CowboysNation #Cowboys #DakPrescott #Dak #Zeke #EzekielElliott #JerryJones #JasonGarrett #NFL #Football #WashingtonRedskins #Redskins #HTTR
Right off the bat today we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the passing of a good friend of ours and a stalwart of the Washington Redskins beat, Rich Tandler, who sadly passed away on Tuesday night at the age of 63. Hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips share their tributes to a great reporter and an even better person, and remark on how he's been a huge part in both of their respective journeys when it comes to covering the Redskins. For Chad, Rich was the first reporter he ever met. Mark and Rich, however, go back a long time, and they started their radio show together back in 1999 in Richmond VA, both of them brand new to the industry. We then pivot back to football and preview Dallas Cowboys week with friend of the show Lake Lewis, who goes so far as to say that this week's game may be one of the top two most important of Jay Gruden's entire Redskins tenure. Tune in to the podcast to hear why! Thanks for listening Redskins fans. Hug your loved ones and be good to each other. Celebrate wildly when the Redskins beat Dallas this week.
It's time to honor Rich Tandler. To start this tribute pod, Rich's wife, Andi, joins JP, Mitch, Pete and Keim at the picnic table in Ashburn to share stories and laughs. In the history of Redskins Talk, few if any guests were more fun to be with. After that comes a ton of thoughts about Tandler, with everyone from 'Skins players to his fellow reporters and coworkers and friends explaining what made him such a special guy. And to conclude, the four guys at the table wrap up with their favorite memories and qualities of RT. We miss you, Tandler.
Here is just a sampling of Rich Tandler's best segments on Redskins Talk. From his Tandler-y clarifications to his high-pitched voice that came out every so often, these are the moments that made him such a special part of our lives and yours.

They then have a Wizards season preview, including how many wins Kevin and Thom think they end up with. They shift to the Redskins and ask if this feels like a big game, or a real Dallas week?

For the first time in Redskins Talk history, all four of JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are present for a postgame pod. Mark the date down, folks. In this episode, you'll hear the guys give their immediate reactions to Washington's important Week 6 win over Carolina. How much of a stud is Adrian Peterson? How great was Josh Norman's redemption performance? What worries still remain? You'll also be treated to a Game Balls and Goats segment, one that was supposed to be tightened up but ended up not really tightened up. Next, you'll get a final tally on the over/unders, which fortunately didn't end in a tie. COOL THING ALERT: Once the four hosts wrap, you'll hear Josh Norman's appearance on Redskins Postgame Live, where he and DeAngelo Hall were able to talk man-to-man after their interesting past few days. You just don't get this kind of content anywhere else, so stick around for that. If you like podcasts where JP gets extra fed up with Tandler and Mitch's buzzer sounds just awful, then this is the episode for you.
Get your weekend started off right with this fresh Redskins Talk. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler kick off this installment with the always popular "How the Game Will Unfold" segment, as all three hosts look to predict the flow of Sunday's matchup vs. the Panthers. Will it be a defensive battle? Next, they pick sides on Week 6's over/unders, where plenty of sarcasm and debate occurs. After that, JP tosses to his interview with Jonathan Allen, and the defensive lineman goes in-depth on what's been different for him this season, how he's adjusting to losing more as a pro than a college player and how he's trying to keep everyone on the defense accountable. If you like podcasts where Tandler brings up the fact he once wore bell bottoms and you get to hear how mature Jonathan Allen is, then this is the episode for you.
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and John Keim (filling in for TV Pete) took shelter from some serious Ashburn weather to deliver this Redskins Talk. First, the guys run through the injuries on both sides of the ball, and have discussions on why Shawn Lauvao being a participant in practice matters more than you'd think and whether Brandon Scherff is more hurt than he's letting on. Then, they address the Josh Norman situation a little further, with a few hosts actually giving the corner credit for some things in what's been an otherwise tough week. And finally, the gang picks and sets over/unders, a segment that includes a battle on the number of Adrian Peterson rush yards and plenty of fantastic fan submissions for the wild card category. If you like podcasts where rain is present in the background for most of the action and JP sends a strong, Norman-inspired one-liner toward Tandler, then this is the episode for you.
The opening to this podcast may go down as the most memorable in the history of the show, thanks to great work by JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler and some very NOT great work by the Redskins. Where do they begin after that AWFUL performance vs. New Orleans? After a bunch of curse words and sound effects, they dive in to the mess. In the pod, you'll hear everything, from some questions about whether Jay Gruden is the right man for the job to a ton of criticism for the 'Skins' idiotic penalties to thoughts on the benching of Josh Norman. The hosts also go through a Game Balls and Goats segment that's much heavier on one category than it is on the other. They then recap their over/unders, which featured a funky ending yet again. Overall, the game was a tragedy but you still need to digest it with Redskins Talk. If you like podcasts where Mitch tells JP that no one cares about his ankle and Tandler goes real deep into how many La-Z-Boys he has, then this is the episode for you.
Your Redskins-less Sunday just got better, thanks to JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and John Keim. Before getting to an excellent interview with Adrian Peterson, the guys participate in their new "How the Game Will Unfold" segment, as each tries to imagine what will take place in New Orleans on Monday. They also take sides on over/unders, and it becomes clear that no one can really agree when or even if Drew Brees is going to break the passing yardage record against the 'Skins. Then comes JP's sitdown with Peterson. In their chat, you'll hear the running back reflect on his whirlwind journey with the Burgundy and Gold thus far, bring up some lofty goals and explain where his ridiculous handshake came from. If you like podcasts where Tandler is at his best when it comes to making unnecessary and unfair clarifications and Peterson addresses the people who question whether he can keep up his production all 2018, then this is the episode for you.
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and John "I only show up on Fridays" Keim have lots of football and lots of shtick for you to start your weekend. To open up this Redskins Talk, the four discuss Josh Doctson being in a walking boot and how much his absence would really affect the offense on Monday night. Another injury chat follows, this one about Trent Williams, which leads to a bold bet made by Tandler. Next, Tandler does his weekly inactives projection, but this edition of that segment is particularly boring and slow. Listen anyways, though. After that comes the setting of Week 5 over/unders, including an interesting one regarding Drew Brees' pursuit of history. And lastly, the hosts revisit each other's bye weeks and put out the final rankings of who had the best one. Let's just say Pete isn't the winner. If you like podcasts where Tandler's got his shades on and everyone's bye weeks are compared to college football bowl games, then this is the episode for you.
It takes just two to tango on this episode of Redskins Talk, as JP Finlay and Rich Tandler lead the action together after Thursday's practice. The guys give listeners an update on Josh Doctson's heel, as the mystery at least becomes a tiny bit clearer, and also try to figure out if Adrian Peterson playing Monday is truly a lock. Also in this episode is the second installment of JP's look back at the magical 1991 season, and this one features Earnest Byner. What does the 'Skins running back remember about that team and that run to the Super Bowl? If you like podcasts where JP gets offended that people thinks he drinks too much alcohol and Byner tells some incredible stories about arguably the best team in the history of the sport, then this is the episode for you.
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey gathered 'round the picnic table in Ashburn to bring you this packed pod. First, the three guys give the necessary injury updates, checking up on Adrian Peterson, Trent Williams and Josh Doctson, who had an interesting Wednesday. The receiver was missing for at least part of practice and afterward, Jay Gruden delayed giving an update until Thursday. What's that all mean? Following that, JP gets the hosts talking about Mack Brown's return and what it could mean about Peterson's status the rest of the way. Next, they start to look ahead to Monday's showdown vs. the Saints, discussing how much a win would improve their perception around the league, before Tandler brings up a couple of topics regarding Washington's standing in the NFL through their first three games. If you like podcasts where an amazing, new Redskins Talk measuring stick is invented and Tandler refuses to do anything even remotely nice for Pete's birthday, then this is the episode for you.
Mitch is still abroad and Pete is nowhere to be found but JP Finlay and Rich Tandler were at Redskins Park as the team returned from their bye week and are here to guide you through this new Redskins Talk chapter. First, the two hosts get you up to speed on the health of some key players. Then, they toss to JP's weekly, exclusive 1-on-1 with Jay Gruden, where the head coach explains Adrian Peterson's importance to the offense, looks at Jonathan Allen's growth as a player and gives his assessment of the scary Saints offense. After that, JP and Rich pick back up by examining the NFC East. Are the Giants dead? Are the Cowboys a threat at all? Do the Redskins have a legit chance of winning the division? All those questions and more are answered in that segment. And finally, the action wraps up with Tandler defending himself from all the haters who think he's not tech-savvy, which is a very fun few minutes. If you like podcasts where Tandler has an early swing-and-miss zing and JP displays an impressive amount of knowledge about bursa sacs, then this is the episode for you. ALSO - thank you to all listeners who helped us set ANOTHER monthly record. Now go follow us on Instagram (@RedskinsTalkPod) and leave some more reviews.
Here's a Redskins Talk installment that perfectly blends football and shtick. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey are your guides for the action and they welcome regular guest John Keim on to join them for the proceedings. First, the four each choose a player to watch on the 'Skins once they return from the bye (JP, of course, doesn't exactly abide by the "one player" designation). Players listed include Vernon Davis and Montae Nicholson. Then, they each explain what they're doing on their bye weeks and ask around for rankings on who's doing the bye week right. As you can imagine, everyone's handling the time off VERY differently, so there's some fun discussion and jabs here. And finally...no, sorry, and FINALLY... you get to hear the legendary interview with Mitch Tischler, as the big man checks in from Germany and Oktoberfest. It doesn't get much better than this segment, guys, so listen to it once and then listen to it again. If you like podcasts where Keim sabotages himself in the rankings with one lame activity and Mitch is literally living his best life, then this is the episode for you.
This is a neat little episode of Redskins Talk for those of you itching for content on the bye. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey briefly welcome you in before tossing to JP and Rich's chat with the Executive Director of the NFLPA DeMaurice Smith. Smith is about as sharp as a guest as Redskins Talk as ever had, and he's willing to answer questions on the roughing the passer calls that are plaguing the league, player safety as a whole and how the NFL views marijuana vs. painkillers. After that strong interview, the three hosts debate the Redskins' biggest surprise player and biggest disappointment player through three weeks of the season. Who makes the good list and who finds themselves on the not-so-good-list? If you like podcasts where Tandler gets screwed by traffic before an interview he set up and the guys do their best to treat the bye like the midway point of the season even though it's certainly not, this is the episode for you.
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey are coming at you from the inside of a victorious FedEx Field to bring you a full recap of all that occurred in Landover in Week 3. The guys break down ALL of the very positive things that happened in the 'Skins victory, from Adrian Peterson turning in a classic performance to the deep passing game beginning to click to many, many more topics. The Game Balls and Goats section is, obviously, heavy on Game Balls, so soak all of that in. They also give plenty of thanks to all that made the Podcast Tailgate such a blast, even in the awful weather. The momentum is real, folks. If you like podcasts where JP botches the artist behind his apparent favorite song and Tandler's love for LL Bean is summed up perfectly, then this is the episode for you.
From the chillier than usual picnic tables, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and John Keim bring you this edition of Redskins Talk, and there's a lot of good stuff going on. In this installment, you'll get plenty of hardcore football topics, including: Whether or not the guys think Maurice Harris will debut Sunday, everyone's over/unders regarding Alex Smith, Adrian Peterson and Josh Doctson and the debut of a Tandler-created segment where the hosts try to envision how Sunday's game will unfold. You'll also get a good amount of shtick, from Tandler doing a weird coin-toss prediction bit to Pete attempting plenty of zings and missing with most of them. If you like podcasts where JP and John share a really touching moment and there's lots of minivan discussion, then this is the episode for you.
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey are your hosts for this Redskins Talk, with JP and Pete hanging in the studio and Tandler out in Ashburn...at the picnic table...by himself. After the necessary reminders about this week's Podcast Tailgate (ORANGE LOT, A30, 10:30 a.m.), Tandler gives his update following Thursday's practice, where he saw a slightly more positive picture regarding the team's injuries. Next, the guys set their Week 3 over/unders, which includes a fantastic segment where they read ALL of the suggestions they got from listeners. Some were solid but most were terrible. The second half of the action goes to JP's 1-on-1 with Josh Norman, where the corner opens up about everything from Aaron Rodgers to his cane to his fearless tackling. If you like podcasts where many people demonstrate they have NO idea how over/unders work and Tandler is just sending selfies out like it's nothin', then this is the episode for you.
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were in Ashburn for Wednesday's practice and then got together to give you this lovely pod. Unfortunately, most of it has to do with injuries, as Paul Richardson is now apparently dealing with an additional issue while Shawn Lauvao is likely to miss some time as well. Are the Redskins already hanging by a thread? The guys also explain how much to expect from the two new wideouts and then debate whether the Packers game is a full on must-win. If you like podcasts where Tandler and JP call each other lame and all four hosts have trouble remembering what a traffic light looks like, this is the episode for you.
Tuesday was supposed to be an off day, but with all these receiver moves happening, JP Finlay decided to corral Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey to break down what's going on at that position. After promoting this Sunday's second-ever Redskins Talk Podcast Tailgate at FedEx Field, the guys give their reactions to the signings of Michael Floyd and Breshad Perriman. Should they have pursued Dez Bryant or Josh Gordon instead? One host believes Gordon should've been the target. Other side discussions include what parts of this roster all this WR shuffling will affect most and the level of concern about this part of the offense just two weeks in. If you like podcasts were Pete uses the word "onomatopoeia" correctly and Mitch gets a little too much enjoyment from almost running a cohost over earlier in the day, then this is the episode for you.
Does anyone else think Week 1 feels like it was four years ago? The difference between last week's pod from Arizona and this one is stark, as JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler do their best to process the Redskins' horrific home-opening loss to the Colts. From Washington's long list of failures on offense to the lack of juice at the stadium, there's a lot to talk about and not much of it is fun. It's important stuff, though, so you need to listen. It'll be therapeutic. If you like podcasts where one of JP's notes is just "WTF?" and the hosts are just as fired up as you are, then this is the episode for you.
This podcast has a lot of parts and all of them are good. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey open things up by picking sides on over/unders for Week 2. Who lands where when it comes to AP rushing yards and Alex Smith passing yards? After that, they toss to an interview with Andrew Walker of Colts.com, a knowledgeable guy who gives you an in-depth scouting report of Washington's Week 2 opponent. Listen as Walker tells you what to expect from Andrew Luck and talks up a young lineman who'll be facing the 'Skins' strong interior defenders, among many other useful things. And finally, the pod closes with a bunch of people taste-testing Devils Backbone's two new Redskins beers, because it's Friday so why wouldn't we drink? If you like podcasts where a big-time Redskins player makes a surprise appearance and Tandler can't stop chugging brews, then this is the episode for you.
The Thursday pod ended up happening, folks. It's just JP Finlay and Rich Tandler at the wheel for this one, and they braved the rainy elements to bring you the episode. First, JP opens things up by telling fans why they should remain calm about the pass rush, which didn't produce a lot in Week 1. Then, the two hosts set their weekly over/unders for Alex Smith's pass yards, Adrian Peterson's rush yards and an interesting fan submission from one of our ambassadors. After that, they toss to JP's sit-down talk with Chris Thompson, where the talented RB opens up about rehabbing from his season-ending injury and what it's like playing next to a future Hall of Famer. If you like podcasts where things are extra organized and there's no fighting over mics for once, then this is the episode for you.
Full squad, full pod today as JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler, Pete "Weirdly Sad" Hailey and Ajay "Trunk Boy" Atayee were all out in Ashburn on Wednesday and are all a part of this Redskins Talk chapter. The guys give you the latest injury updates, starting with Cam Sims and Trey Quinn, before talking about the return of Brian Quick. They also discuss the elevation of pod favorite Kenny Ladler to the active roster. Will he play in Week 2? Next up is some important housekeeping on things such as the Survivor Pool and the Tailgate Party (Week 3 Packers game, BE THERE). Anddddddddd that's where things take a turn. The rest of the action starts out as a segment where everyone grades the photos our ambassadors have submitted to the @RedskinsTalkPod Instagram page, but that segment quickly devolves into Tandler saying the same rating over and over again and Mitch getting weirdly introspective about this weekend's weather. Also, Pete is in a weird mood the entire time. If you like podcasts where Tandler demonstrates he barely knows what Instagram is and the guys try to dance around an awkward situation involving a dog, then this is the episode for you.
"Your Washington Redskins are 1-0," JP Finlay says at the start of this pod. How good does that feel, listeners? Finlay is joined in this episode by Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler in what is a very fun breakdown of the team's Week 1 victory over the Cardinals. The guys run through it all — from Alex Smith to Adrian Peterson and even Tress Way — from a room deep inside of State Farm Stadium. They also review JP and Rich's over/unders competition, which ended in a VERY interesting and wacky way. After that, they transition into their Game Balls and Goats segment, which is HEAVY on game balls. And finally, there's some talk about shaving habits, because every installment needs a little bit of shtick. If you like podcasts where the word "dominant" is thrown around constantly and Mitch is ESPECIALLY giddy about various things, then this is the episode for you.
This is quite a podcast, folks. JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler are joined by John Keim, Brian McNally and Michael Phillips, and they're all heading to the Grand Canyon the Saturday before the season opener. So why wouldn't they record a pod during the trip? The six guys run through a bunch of season-long over/unders, from things like Adrian Peterson TDs to Alex Smith yards, and pick sides. They also provide plenty of updates on Phillips' aggressive driving. If you like podcasts that involve tons of cheap zings but also plenty of 'Skins conversation, then this is the episode for you. (edited)
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, and Mitch Tischler are again in car talking 'Skins, which means it's again time for you to listen to them talking 'Skins. After informing listeners that the Redskins Talk podcast survivor pool is LIVE (and you should join it on NFL.com) JP makes ANOTHER big podcast announcement. Mitch then reintroduces the over/unders for Week 1 and JP and Tandler make their picks. Finally, the guys toss to JP's 1 on 1 with DJ Swearinger, who has some intriguing things to say about the secondary and the amount the team played in the preseason. If you like podcasts where Tandler does a projection of the freakin' inactive list and Mitch reveals that someone made a mess in his car during yesterday's pod, this is the episode for you.
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Mitch Tischler and Ajay Atayee (who's not in the trunk this time) hopped into Mitch's car for this very fun edition of Redskins Talk. The guys open things up by telling you some GREAT injury news about two very crucial Redskins players before eventually transitioning into one mysterious injury storyline that no one really gets as of now. After that, they move into setting their first three over/unders of the season, a tradition that new listeners will enjoy and old listeners will recognize. Then a special treat arrives in the form of a long Preston Smith interview (18:01), where the pass rusher and JP look ahead to the 2018 season, talk about Smith owning Sam Bradford and kick around Tandler possibly being his publicist. If you like podcasts where JP complains a TON about things such as the AC in Mitch's car as well as a beer-related issue (28:50) (which eventually turns into everyone complaining about the beer-related issue), then this is the episode for you.
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey piled into the Mobile Podcast Studio for this podcast, most of which is spent breaking down the team's decision to get rid of Anthony Lanier and add Caleb Brantley. Why did the team choose to move on from a player who looked like he was on the rise? You'll get that answer from the hosts, as well as the background info on Brantley. Also included in the action: a reminder about the upcoming podcast tailgate and a preview of the week to come. If you like podcasts where Tandler puts his seatbelt on despite being in a parked car and JP remembers to take a jab at Pete just before the buzzer sounds, then this is the episode for you.
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and John Keim sat in the hot sun for this installment of Redskins Talk so you better listen to every second of it. The main objective of this episode is to react to the team's 53-man roster as its currently constructed (it certainly could change, by the way). Who were the most surprising cuts and why were those decisions made? You'll get plenty of insight into those questions. The four hosts also look forward, as they agree on the position group they're most concerned about and talk about a few guys such as Josh Doctson who need to really step up starting Week 1. For the shtick crowd, you'll enjoy the part where Pete drinks Tandler's water and John's usual needling of Rich. If you like podcasts where Tandler puts on baller shades and transforms into a badass and JP presents a Junior Galette conspiracy theory, then this is the episode for you.
From an "undisclosed location" in M&T Bank Stadium, JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler are here to wrap up the preseason. The three hosts spend much of the pod giving their final projections for the tight races at running back, receiver and linebacker. Questions they pose include whether Samaje Perine's fumble vs. the Ravens cost him a spot on the team and how Maurice Harris' murky health situation is affecting the depth chart on the outside. They also run through their game balls and goats segment, shouting out Rob Kelley and calling out the 'Skins' tackling. And finally, you'll hear JP's 1-on-1s with Trey Quinn and Pete Robertson, both of which are very interesting. If you like podcasts where Tandler and JP sing some strange old songs and Quinn goes really in-depth on his celebration habits, then this is the episode for you.
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Pete Hailey piled into the mobile podcast studio to enjoy its glorious AC and bring you quality Redskins insight. Things kick off with the guys reminding listeners and fans a critical thing about the fourth preseason game that you need to remember. They then run through the roster and try to determine just how many jobs are still up for grabs. Eventually, JP tosses to two interviews; one with Troy Apke and another with Jerod Fernandez. How is Apke planning on bouncing back from a rough Denver game and what's it like for Fernandez as he tries to scratch and claw his way onto the 53? Finally, the pod wraps with JP and Rich offering up some incentive to those of you who haven't followed @RedskinsTalkPod on Instagram yet. If you like podcasts where the wacky "Hi Tandler" bit continues and Pete botches the year Tandler graduated from high school, then this is the episode for you.
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler and Mitch Tischler bring you this pod from the interview room at Redskins Park and start off by looking at the injuries that Colt McCoy, Zach Brown, Josh Norman, Chris Thompson and Jordan Reed are dealing with. Are any of them a big deal? They then move into a discussion on a surprise guy who *might* steal a spot on the roster and become a really awesome storyline if so. After, JP tosses to an interview with Warren Sharp, an analyst who is mega-intelligent about football (13:44). Be sure to listen as Sharp breaks down why 'Skins fans should maybe chill out when it comes to the Adrian Peterson excitement. And finally, JP goes 1-on-1 with Adonis Alexander (23:33) and asks the rookie corner to grade his debut and where he likes to play in the secondary. If you like podcasts where Tandler says hi to himself and you get to hear from one of the more intriguing prospects on the roster, then this is the episode for you.
JP Finlay, Rich Tandler, Pete Hailey and Ajay Atayee are bringing you this pod from JP's car out in Ashburn. Football is the focus at first, as the hosts recap who's healthy and who's not at running back and receiver and then debate the job security of players like Rob Kelley, Kapri Bibbs, Brian Quick and Trey Quinn. They then shift into an important segment (22:50), as they recognize all of the new podcast ambassadors. There are 80-plus names to read, so get comfy. If you like podcasts where Ajay contributes despite sitting in the trunk and Tandler is especially strict about made up rules, then this is the episode for you.
