The Washington Wrap

Welcome to the grumpy early morning-after edition of the Redskins Capital Connection.

First up a warning; usually we keep it rated PG here but today there's probably going to be some cursing, so consider yourselves forewarned. If you're listening with young children or those with delicate sensibilities, prepare accordingly.

That said, anyone with delicate sensibilities will be no more offended by this podcast than they would have been by the putrid display the Redskins served up on Monday night football against the New Orleans Saints.

No sugar-coating it here; hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are grumpy and tired of watching the Redskins get their asses wooped in Prime Time games.

This isn't the regular RCC episode; this is a venting session.

For those who have been long-time listeners of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast, you'll know that in years past we use the bye week as an opportunity to take a step back and try and get a 'big picture' look at how the Redskins season is tracking by talking to a national NFL reporter as opposed to one of the players or local beat writers.

A week four bye makes that a little trickier though.

Given the small sample size, however, we're fortunate that there's a friend of the show who seemed perfect for this challenge today, so hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips dialed up Mike Jones (USA Today, formerly Washington Post).

Together they talk about what we've seen from the 2-1 Redskins thus far, what the coming weeks will reveal about this team, and what the biggest factors contributing to their ability to make the playoffs in 2018 will be.

All of that, plus a quick recap of the Packers win, a preview of the Saints game, and Chad starting the show tripping over basic words.

Enjoy the show!

After the Washington Redskins built our hopes up in week one, they brought us back down to Earth with thundering mediocrity in week two against the Indianapolis Colts.

What went wrong, why did it go wrong, and where to from here?

Those are the questions that Redskins Capital Connection hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips seek to explore on today's episode as they recap the Colts loss, talk about the news of the week, and look ahead to this week's game hosting Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers at FedEx Field.

To help them do it, they're joined by who must surely hold the record for longest time between RCC appearances, The Athletic's own Tarik El-Bashir, back on the Redskins beat after a few years covering the Washington Capitals.

A great and fun episode today, so gather your friends and family around the podcast fireplace and tune in!

Welcome back to the #1 independent podcast dedicated to your first place in the NFC Washington Redskins!

That's right; after one whole staggering week of NFL regular season action, the Redskins find themselves atop the entire conference on tie-breakers after dispatching with the Arizona Cardinals with ease, cruising to a 24-6 victory.

Your hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are here to talk about that, plus all the news around the team this week, as well as previewing the Week 2 game vs the Indianapolis Colts.

Then later in the show, Chad goes 1-on-1 with Redskins Offensive Lineman Chase Roullier for a fascinating discussion on the belief that this team has this year, what it's like to block for Chris Thompson and Adrian Peterson, and what the Redskins game-plan might look like against the Colts this week

It's a big show and a good show today, so tune-in! And if you enjoy it, please do us a favor and spread the word among your fellow Redskins fan friends and family. The more people we have on team RCC the better!

After 35 long weeks of offseason, of OTAs, of minicamp, of Training Camp, and of preseason... in 72 hours the Washington Redskins play regular season football once again!

We made it!

That's right; on Sunday afternoon at 425pm the Redskins host the Arizona Cardinals at FedEx field and here to help host Chad Ryan preview everything there is about this game is an old friend of the show, Mark Bullock fresh off the announcement that he is one of the founding members of The Athletic's foray into DC!

Together they cover everything including why Las Vegas thinks the Cardinals are so bad, how to stop David Johnson, and what to expect from the first real outing of Alex Smith as the new franchise Quarterback for Washington.

All of that and so much more. You'll just have to trust us on that one until you tune in, but there's a lot covered today!

This is probably the toughest week in the entire year to cover an NFL team as we cut the roster down from 90 players to 53.

Some players will get other opportunities, whether it's on another team, or on a practice squad... but for many, this will be the end of a lifelong dream of playing in the NFL.

It's heavy stuff, so to talk about it today we definitely need some emotional support and backup, and for that host Chad Ryan is joined by regular co-host Mark Phillips as well as RCC family member Robbie Duncan.

Together they run through all 90 players currently on the roster and give their final thoughts on who will make the cut and who will be cut, and where the biggest roster battles will be won and lost, including this week in the 4th and final Preseason game in Baltimore.

It's a deep-dive today, so strap in and enjoy the ride!

Hello Redskins fans and welcome back to the Redskins Capital Connection podcast; your best source for hearing all about what's going on with the Washington Redskins direct from the guy who might be the next Prime Minister of Australia.

On today's show hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips recap the past week of news around the team including the fact that Adrian Peterson is now in the Burgundy and Gold.

Then they dial up Craig Hoffman from 106.7 The Fan to talk about tonight's penultimate Preseason week 3 game against the Denver Broncos.

The conversation hits on which players will suit up in the most important preseason game and which players will be watching from the sidelines, as well as what the key storylines to keep an eye on tonight are.

Today's show is jam-packed with juicy information so don't miss it!

And please remember to tell your Redskins-supporting friends and family to listen to the podcast too!

It's a bittersweet day today; our last day at Washington Redskins Training Camp 2018.

Hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are here one last time from the grass here at the Bon Secours facility in Richmond VA.

No fights today (unlike yesterday), which means we actually got a good look at the Redskins vs the New York Jets. Listen as we recap the days action including the play of the day by Alex Smith.

Because it's our last day at camp, Chad went around and spoke to over two dozen reporters out here covering the Redskins and asked them for their personal highlights from Training Camp, which was great fun.

After that, we sit down with all three Special Teamers in Nick Sundberg, Dustin Hopkins, and Tress Way. They gave us a great look at a day in the life of the Specialists out here at Training Camp, and then we ran them through the RCC Teammate Trivia gauntlet!

Tune in for all the laughs and all the learning that you've come to know and love from the Redskins Capital Connection podcast.

FIGHT!

This felt inevitable, but most people were surprised how quickly the joint practices between the Washington Redskins and New York Jets degenerated into an all-out melee.

And Redskins Capital Connection host Chad Ryan was right there in the middle of it - literally. The fight engulfed his beloved camp stool as 40 NFL players scrapped on top of it. So if you want the details for what happened, you'll find no better place than right here to get it!

Joining Chad on today's show are co-hosts Chip Brierre and Mark Phillips as we recorded the episode from a Buffalo Wild Wings downtown after the rain shut things down at the Bon Secours facility.

We cover off day one of the joint practices and say our farewell's to Chip as today was his last day at camp.

Tune in and get caught up on all the action!

Today was the last day that the Washington Redskins will take the field on their own for Training Camp 2018. Tomorrow, the New York Jets come to town for three days of joint practices, and with them will be a bunch of New York media and a lot more noise.

But fear not! Redskins Capital Connection is still here to guide you through all the madness and sadness that comes with being a Washington Redskins fan.

Tune in to hear host Chad Ryan sound depressed as he talks with co-host Mark Phillips about the Derrius Guice injury... there's no sugar-coating it. It just sucks.

But the show must go on and today we sit down with Chris Thompson, who explains why no one is better equipped to deal with this setback than his "little brother" Guice. Thompson also tells us about his off-season workout that has seen fans take notice of his new upper-body strength, as well as his plans for this season.

All of that and so much more on another episode of RCC. Check it out, and spread the word; tell your friends and co-workers in your life. RCC is one big family and we're always inviting more people to the table.
