We're back!

Yes, although the Redskins Capital Connection hiatus was planned, it did end up going much longer than planned.

But we're back, and what better time to return than on the cusp of the NFL Draft.

Hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are joined by two absolutely stellar guests today.

First they dial up NFL Insider Benjamin Allbright for the latest on trade offers for the #2 pick, what the situation is for Trent Williams, and what other storylines to watch for during this week's virtual NFL Draft.

Next Chad goes one-on-one with friend of the show Marc Sessler from the NFL Network/Around the NFL podcast. Together they talk about how this draft can shape the identity of the Washington Redskins franchise moving forward in this new era under Ron Rivera.

Both discussions are fascinating and filled with great pearls of wisdom, and we know you'll enjoy them Redskins nation!

Thanks for your patience while we were on hiatus, but now that we're back, more than ever we'd love to hear from you! What did you agree with or disagree with from today's episode, and what are you hoping for out of the 2020 NFL Draft? Get in touch!

Happy New Year, Redskins fans!

The 2010's are behind us and the winds of change have turned their attention towards Ashburn with the highly sought-after departure of Bruce Allen now confirmed, the signing of Ron Rivera as the new Head Coach reported but not yet confirmed (at time of recording), and many other changes that have occurred, or will shortly.

Today's episode of the Redskins Capital Connection features not one but two fantastic guests about all the developments surrounding the team since the 2019 season officially ended for the Redskins in Dallas this past Sunday.

First up, our good mate Michael Phillips joins to give us the inside scoop on what's going on behind closed-doors at Redskins Park.

Then, Jourdan Rodrigue from The Athletic Carolina Panthers beat joins to talk about just what Redskins fans are getting from Ron Rivera. It's a brilliant chat and one we really enjoyed, and we know you will too.

We'll do a proper season wrap-up discussion at some point in the future, but for now, today's episode is solely focused on this tumultuous week.

Last week the Redskins still had a faint glimmer of hope, but this past week in Green Bay that hope was extinguished, and now the season is all about running out the clock and trying to move on towards a more productive 2020 both on and off the field.

Hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are joined by good friend Chris Russell (106.7 The Fan, Sports Illustrated) to dive into the fact that there's three games between now and the offseason for the Washington Redskins, and all three are against the NFC East. So for those fans who don't care about getting the absolute best draft pick possible, there's also some inter-divisional pride up for grabs too.

With a Quarterback who sprained his ankle, a Running Back who sprained his MCL, a Cornerback who was on drugs, an Interim Coach who probably deserves to be fired, and a Team President /slash/ self-designated Emperor in his last weeks with the team, there's a lot going on in the final stages of the 2019 season.

So let's talk about that a bit today, shall we?

On today's show, hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are joined by Chip Brierre (ABC7) for a look ahead to Sunday's Week 14 game against the Green Bay Packers, which is of course the first of four games that the Washington Redskins need to win consecutively if they want to, and I can't believe we're saying this... win the division and head to the playoffs.

That's right; with the Redskins currently 3-9 and seemingly staring down the barrel of a top five draft pick three quarters of the way through the NFL season, the rest of the NFC East is such a cornucopia of dysfunction that the Redskins are still alive!

And if the Redskins can go into Lambeau Field at 1pm on Sunday and pull off an unlikely upset, then the run home from there suddenly becomes bizarrely achievable with games at home against the Eagles and Giants, and a penultimate week 17 battle in Jerry World against the listless Cowboys.

Season 2019 has not been a successful one for the Washington Redskins, and now that we're entering the last month of the regular season, it's appropriate to consider what the legacy of season 2019 may be for this team, this city, and this fan-base.

After an extended bye-week break in Thailand, host Chad Ryan is joined by Mark Phillips to ponder that question, as well as preview this week's game against Carolina in which the Redskins will look to win consecutive games for the first time in over a year.

With promising signs from young players like Derrius Guice, Steven Sims, Kelvin Harmon, and Fabian Moreau in last week's win vs Detroit, are the Redskins finally starting to turn the corner?

All of that and more - it's good to be back!

Hello Washington Nationals fans and thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of the Nationals Capital Connection;your number one home for independent and worldwide coverage of your World Champion Washington Nationals!

If you're anything like host Chad Ryan, you've been riding high on cloud nine ever since Wednesday night, getting minimal sleep as you relive each and every moment that delivered that Commissioner's Trophy into the hands of Ryan Zimmerman and the team.

As Chad himself said recently; "I tell you what, I've been having some weird dreams lately. I dreamed just last night that I was actually the host of a Redskins podcast, instead of a Nationals podcast.

Oh my god, can you imagine? I'd have to spend today with my co-host Mark Phillips, as well as special guest Kareem Copeland (Washington Post), and we'd be talking about beef between the best player on the Redskins and the Team President. Beef that involves missed rare cancer diagnoses, a lack of basic decency, monetary disputes, and hospital visits. I'd have to talk about the 1-7 Redskins having gone two straight weeks without scoring a touchdown, and noting that the team has NEVER in it's HISTORY gone 3 consecutive weeks without a TD. I'd have to talk about a Quarterback in the concussion protocol and a rookie who isn't ready to start potentially being thrust in to his first start against Buffalo in Buffalo on Sunday..."

This Washington Redskins team that we all support is now officially off to their worst start to a season in over 20 years.

They're sitting at 1-7 after a road loss to the man Bruce Allen still refers to as 'Kurt Coosins' and the Minnesota Vikings, with a starting Quarterback in the concussion protocol, a rookie Quarterback who is being pushed and pulled in way too many directions, and another starting Quarterback who has an equal chance of starting this week just as much as he's likely to be inactive.

Yes, it's a great time to follow this proud and historic franchise, so let's spend some time today talking about them.

Hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are joined by fellow RCC family member Chip Brierre (ABC7/WJLA) and they spend the majority of today's episode dedicated to the biggest question currently surrounding this Redskins team;

What should the plan for Dwayne Haskins be?

Sit him? Start him? Play him? Bench him? If not now, then when? And why? And how?

It's a spirited debate filled with twists and turns.

Take a listen Redskins fans then reach out to us on Twitter or Facebook and let us know your thoughts on the subject matter!

For the first time in season 2019 your hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are here today on the back of a Washington Redskins win!

It was a very interesting 17-16 win down in Miami against the Dolphins; the first time the Redskins have ever won in the regular season in Miami, curiously enough.

Joining the show today is Jerry Brewer (Washington Post) to help us break down the win, as well as diving in to the big issues;

• Should Dwayne Haskins sit or start?
• Is Terry McLaurin a genuine OROTY candidate?
• Has anything actually changed since Jay Gruden was dismissed?
• Were the Dolphins really trying to win that game?

All of that and much more! Tune in, enjoy, and then yell at us on Twitter about what you've heard us say!

(A note about today's episode; for a portion of the show, there's background noise from a television set. Apologies!)
