Welcome fellow bleary-eyed Redskins fans to our morning-after episode following night one of the 2018 NFL Draft, where we saw the Washington Redskins dip back into the Alabama pool of players to select Defensive Tackle Da'Ron Payne. On this episode of the show hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips talk about how the first twelve picks of the draft shaped the board resulting in the Redskins taking Payne, what his selection means for the future of this franchise, and what Payne brings to this defense as an individual talent. We also dial up our pal Michael Phillips, Sports Editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, to get the firsthand account from ground-zero at Redskins HQ in Ashburn about what transpired, whether or not Payne truly was the top player on their draft board, and how this pick reflects on the philosophy that Doug Williams and Bruce Allen have taken in to the 2018 draft.

The Washington Commanders have been eliminated from playoff contention and potentially lost their defensive captain and leader to a knee injury, and yet that likely won't be what this game is remembered for in the annals of NFL lore. In his post-game press conference, Head Coach Ron Rivera was, astoundingly, surprised to learn that the Commanders could be eliminated later that afternoon pending the result of the Green Bay-Minnesota Game. What?! Co-hosts Chad Ryan and Felix Trammell fire up their cameras and microphones and start the ten minute countdown clock as this episode of The Washington Wrap tries to dissect just how on Earth that scenario was new information for a modern NFL coach.

No, Ron. No - The Washington Wrap

After a promising start to the 2022 season, the Washington Commanders now find themselves 1-2 entering Dallas Week, with an underperforming defense and an inconsistent offense. Ron Rivera has a worse win-loss record than Jay Gruden did at the same point of his Washington tenure, and Jack Del Rio's defense has been gouged repeatedly during his time as defensive coordinator. So is it time to start wondering if the coaches seats are heating up? Twitter: Chad Ryan - @ChadwikoTWW Felix Trammell - @BlessdCommander

Coaches on the Hot Seat? - The Washington Wrap

After a week one win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Carson Wentz and the Washington Commanders have an opportunity to do something that this team hasn't done since 2011; Start a season 2-0. This week's matchup in Detroit against the Lions represents an incredible opportunity for Washington to control their own destiny at the start of a season, which is not something they've done in a long time. With winnable games coming on the schedule in the next month, if the Commanders can take care of business in Detroit, then season 2022 is about to get very interesting!

KPIs to watch for in 2022 - 9 September 2022

Football is back! In the famous words of our old co-host, 'waiting for football season' is over, and the Washington Commanders have opened their 2022 Training Camp! No longer down the I95 in Richmond though, the Commanders have made camp at home in Ashburn in front of a small but passionate group of fans who were fortunate enough to receive one of the few tickets allocated. All eyes are on Carson Wentz as he begins his tenure as Washington's starting Quarterback, and he's going to have plenty of help from newly-paid Terry McLaurin, as well as 1st round pick Jahan Dotson, and a motivated Curtis Samuel after he missed most of 2021 to injury. We discuss all that and more with the clock ticking as we Wrap up the start of Training Camp in just ten minutes!
