The Washington Wrap

Leave it up to the Redskins to turn the predicted lack of a long-term deal for your Quarterback into a way bigger story than anyone expected!

A great episode of the Redskins Capital Connection recaps everything you need to know about what happened.

At the top of the show, your hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are joined by the esteemed Mike Jones, Redskins insider for the Washington Post to recap the Kirk Cousins contract saga and the ramifications for 2017 and beyond. Listen closely as Jones drops some valuable knowledge about what really happened in these contract negotiations, as it may change your mind on some aspects. It changed Chad's mind, at least. 

Later on in the show, we're going to be taking a good hard look at the Redskins Running Backs and Offensive Line as we continue our weekly position group breakdowns, because we are less than two weeks away from the start of Training Camp!

All that and more on another massive episode of the Redskins Capital Connection.

Welcome back to the Redskins Capital Connection podcast, where we hope everyone had a great 4th of July and is ready to jump back in to some nitty-gritty discussion on Washington Redskins football!

On this episode, hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are joined by Mark Bullock (Washington Post/Bleacher Report), and together they provide an update on the Kirk Cousins contract situation, before diving into a long panel discussion to break down and analyze the Inside Linebackers and Defensive Backs (Cornerbacks and Safeties) as we approach the start of Training Camp 2017. 

New faces from Free Agency, young rookies, and returning veterans all bring something different to these respective positions, and the impact of a new defensive scheme under new defensive coaches will also have a big impact. 

Tune in to hear the smartest, funniest discussion of Redskins X's and O's you'll find anywhere around the planet, as today's truly international panel takes you through the Inside Linebackers and Defensive Backs from top to bottom!

Just because the six week break between the end of OTAs/minicamp and the start of training camp is the quietest part of the NFL calendar doesn't mean that the Redskins Capital Connection crew are sitting around simply waiting for Redskins season 2017 to begin!

This week your hosts Chad Ryan, Mark Phillips, and Robbie Duncan provide a quick recap of all the headlines out of Redskins park in recent weeks (02:58), before they turn their attention to the defensive front of the Washington Redskins (14:18). With so many new faces involved, projecting who fits where and what to expect from this unit quickly becomes an engaging and interesting exercise, and one that leads all three hosts to declare various levels of optimism going into the season ahead.

After spending so much time talking about the Redskins defensive front, what better way to finish up than going directly to the source? To do that we were joined on the line by second year Redskins Defensive End Anthony Lanier. Listen in as Lanier explains what he's learning from new Defensive Line coach Jim Tomsula, what he's seeing from new guys like Jonathan Allen, and of course, what Redskins fans can expect from himself as he heads into his second year on the team.

All that and more on another episode of the Redskins Capital Connection!

It's the last week of Optional Team Activities for season 2017, and the Washington Redskins players have been putting in work on the practice field. But what are OTA's really like? 

To help anyone who has never pulled on a jersey before understand, your On the Warpath hosts Robbie Duncan (former D1 Offensive Lineman) and Rob Henson (former Redskins Linebacker) share some war stories and peel back the curtain to explain what goes down when practice occurs in shorts and shirts instead of pads. 

But that's not all! Rob Henson was in attendance for Redskins OTA's last week and breaks down what he saw; which players stood out and which players look like they need to put in a bit more work? 

All that and more On the Warpath this week!

Welcome everyone to another episode of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast, our first in more than a few weeks as we enjoy the quietest part of the football calendar between the draft and the start of training camp in late July.

But that of course doesn't mean that there's no activity around Redskins Nation as all but three of the players have been present in Ashburn for OTA's, and to talk about everything that's happened on the practice field as well as off of it, what better place than here at the Redskins Capital Connection podcast!

Today hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are joined by CSNMA's Redskins Insider JP Finlay. Together we take a deep dive into all the action of OTA's, including the absence of Matt Jones, the dynamics of new coaches Jim Tomsula and Torrian Gray, and what the identity of the Redskins defense is going to be in 2017. 

All that and more on this week's edition of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast!

You've heard all the praise for the Washington Redskins after the draft. You've heard the positive grades. You love Jonathan Allen. But does that mean everything is roses and sunshine? 

Tune in to On the Warpath this week to hear hosts Robbie Duncan and Rob Henson, joined by guest Manny Benton, as together they talk about which picks they didn't like and which players they wish the Redskins wouldn't have passed on when they were on the clock. 

They also dive in to a bit of opposition research as they discuss which NFC East division rival draft picks might give the Redskins the most trouble on the field as well. 

All of that, plus is Henson following in Bashaud Breeland's footsteps and launching his rap career? 

You'll have to tune in to find out!

After so much build up, intrigue, speculation, and excitement, the NFL Draft has come and gone for another year. 

At the end of proceedings, ten new young prospects can officially call themselves 'Washington Redskins rookies', and your hosts Chad and Mark are joined by The Washington Post's venerable Jerry Brewer as together we recap the entire process.

Not only do we provide an overview on the specific individual players drafted, but we also discuss how the Redskins war-room itself operated throughout the draft, and how much does the ghost of General Manager Scot McCloughan linger over the course of this draft? 

Combined with the plethora of deep draft coverage we have up on RedskinsCapitalConnection.com, as well as Friday's quick 'morning after' podcast where we went into detail on the Jonathan Allen selection, today's episode really equips you with everything you need to know about the 2017 Washington Redskins draft class. 

Thanks for listening!

Good news, Redskins fans; it wasn't a dream.

Yes, the Washington Redskins really were fortuitous enough to have hometown hero and absolute stud Defensive Lineman Jonathan Allen fall into their laps at pick 17, where he was promptly snapped up. 

Hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips recap the crazy night that was Round One of the NFL Draft, including Chad's late night phone call with Redskins Insider Michael Phillips live from NFL Draft headquarters in Philadelphia. Michael was one of the few Redskins reporters in Philadelphia for the draft, and as such was also one of the first to actually speak with Jonathan Allen after he was drafted. 

Together we recap (and provide reassurance regarding) the situation with Allen's shoulders, what role he'll play with the Redskins, and what this pick means for the rest of the Redskins draft. 

Also, we run you through the names we'll be looking at in Round Two of the NFL Draft tonight, because there is still plenty of talent left on that board!

All that and more in this special 'morning after' edition of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast. 

The Redskins Capital Connection podcast brings you our annual pre-draft special episode, featuring a mega-panel including hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips, as well as Robbie Duncan (On the Warpath & RCC) and Mark Bullock (Washington Post & Bleacher/Report)!

As a panel, we cover absolutely everything you need to know as the Redskins head into Thursday night's first round currently holding pick number 17.

The format of today's show sees the panel addressing specific questions including; which players don't the panel members want to see the Redskins draft, is there a floor on how far down they would want to see the Redskins trade, and who would they feel comfortable 'reaching' for, to name just a few of the questions discussed!

To top it all off, we finish the show with a 10 question lightning round covering the draft.

This isn't a podcast you want to miss before the draft, and listening to it will equip you with everything you need to know ahead of Thursday night!

Welcome to the latest episode of On the Warpath, brought to you by RedskinsCapitalConnection.com. In this episode, we farewell previous host Anthony Raposa and welcome in new host Robbie Duncan, whom is joined by regular co-host and former Washington Redskins Linebacker Rob Henson!

The three topics up for debate today are; who was the best pickup out of the free agents they brought in (to date), what would each of the hosts do with the 17th pick of the 2017 NFL draft, and who are some of the sleepers in the middle and late rounds of the draft they'd like to see Washington select.
