The Washington Wrap

The Washington Redskins hit the road for Preseason Week 1 against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, so Redskins Capital Connection hit the road as well.

Literally. Today's episode was recorded in the car on the drive back to Boston after the game, with host Chad Ryan joined by special guest co-host Michael Phillips from the Richmond Times-Dispatch!

After going in to half time with a 17-3 lead, the Redskins ended up losing 26-17 after Colt McCoy left the game and Kevin Hogan took over.

But the score wasn't the main story from tonight, with injury scares to key players such as Derrius Guice, Matt Ioannidis, and Trey Quinn. We've got the updates on all of those guys for you, with both Chad and Michael spending time in the Redskins locker room after the game getting it all from the horses mouth.

Tune in and listen in to the fun as Michael gives you the tourist's guide to the highway from Foxborough to Boston as well. A lot of laughs on today's episode of RCC, so tune in and have fun!

Things are starting to get real interesting here at Washington Redskins Training Camp as today the players took to the field for the last time ahead of Thursday night's preseason opener against the New England Patriots at Foxborough.

The players weren't in pads today as they went through what most resembles a regular season 'Friday practice', where it's a half-way point between a normal practice and a walkthrough. We got a good insight into which players will take the field on Thursday night and which players will be watching from the sidelines, as well as a good idea on what sort of game plan Jay Gruden will utilize. (Spoiler alert: vanilla).

Hosts Chad Ryan and Chip Brierre were once again there every step of the way to bring you all of the action from Richmond, before Chad sat down 1 on 1 with rookie Running Back Derrius Guice for what was, unsurprisingly, a very entertaining and informative discussion!

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

On a day that Jay Gruden referred to himself as a "genius" for switching practices to the morning, today's practice just finished in time before the rains once again started to fall heavily here in Richmond at Redskins Training Camp.

But fear not; the Redskins Capital Connection crew of Chad Ryan, Mark Phillips, and Chip Brierre still managed to record today's podcast just in time before the facilities were closed off and everyone was herded inside to get out of the lightning.

Multiple veterans didn't participate today due to a combination of scheduled rest days as well as minor injuries, which meant that practice was a little more reserved compared to previous days. With Preseason Week 1 against the New England Patriots coming later this week, you'll start to see some backups get a bit more work to prepare for the lions-share of gametime on Thursday night.

Also today, we sat down with rookie Defensive Lineman Tim Settle and talked to him about life at training camp, the benefits of being a local boy, and of course, we ran him through the RCC Teammate Trivia contest. Spoiler alert; Settle did very well for himself in this contest! But was it good enough to supplant Anthony Lanier II atop the leaderboard? You'll have to tune in to find out!

A hot and sweaty day of Washington Redskins Training Camp 2018 today as the players hit the field and put in work.

DJ Swearinger & Jamison Crowder got a veteran day off today, which meant that Deshazor Everett and Trey Quinn stood up in their place. And today we also saw the single biggest hit we've seen at Training Camp this year!

Your hosts today are Chad Ryan, Mark Phillips and Chip Brierre and together we recap all the action for you to ensure that you don't miss a single thing!

Also today, we sat down with Mason Foster and had a fantastic discussion with the hard-nosed Middle Linebacker. Foster told us all about how he was pressuring Zach Brown to re-sign with the Redskins, about what makes them work so well as a tandem together, and exactly why he's a PUBG guy and not a Fortnite guy.

Things went to a new level on the field today, just as Coach Jay Gruden promised they would.

Here on day nine of Redskins Training Camp 2018, it was fan appreciation day which meant that the crowds were big and the energy levels were high, and the players responded in kind!

The hits were bigger than we've seen at Training Camp in years, and the trash talk matched that intensity.

And as always, Redskins Capital Connection was there for every moment of it!

Today's hosts Chad Ryan and Robbie Duncan recap all the action, including having a disagreement on whether or not the Offense or the Defense were the victors today!

Then we sit down with WR Jamison Crowder who finally settles the issue of how Chad pronounces his name once and for all. We then run him through the RCC Teammate Trivia gauntlet, so tune in to see how he went!

After some thankfully uneventful days of Training Camp, day six here in Richmond VA saw a flurry of activity.

And as always, Redskins Capital Connection was here every step of the way to bring you all the action.

Hosts Chad Ryan and Chip Brierre recap the shoulder injury to Josh Doctson, the on-field action today that saw Paul Richardson make not one, not two, but three highlight catches, and then we also had the official retirement of Redskins legend DeAngelo Hall at the podium after practice.

If that's not enough Redskins content for you, then you'll be pleased to know that we also sit down with second year Tight End Jeremy Sprinkle, who was a fantastic interview and provided some great laughs and also great football insight. And as always, we ran him through the RCC Teammate Trivia which is fast becoming one of the biggest storylines of camp among the players! It's getting competitive.

If that all sounds like a lot, worry not! RCC sorts the wheat from the chaff and brings you everything you need!

And after the first scheduled day off of Washington Redskins Training Camp 2018... we're back!

The pads were back on and the players hit the rain-soaked fields here in Richmond today for another intriguing day of practice. As always, your Redskins Capital Connection team was there from start to finish to watch all of the intrigue and report back to you!

Today hosts Chad Ryan and Chip Brierre recap the action including another promising win for the Defensive Backs today, the emergence of Josh Doctson, and some really promising signs from Ryan Anderson, to name just a few of the topics covered.

We then sat down exclusively with Montae Nicholson and had an absolute blast asking him about the Safety group's reputation for being prolific trash talkers, what it's like working with DJ Swearinger, and what his approach going into year two as the starter has been like.

Of course we also run him through the RCC Teammate Trivia contest and put him to the sword to see how he does. Tune in to hear the laughs and the results!

All that and much, much more on another episode live from on the field here at Redskins Training Camp.

Welcome back to your home of Redskins Training Camp 2018 coverage - the Redskins Capital Connection podcast.

Day four today and the players were in full pads for the first time this year, and that meant the hits were harder and louder. It truly does sound like football is back!

The theme of today's discussion is all about the Safety position for the Washington Redskins. Hosts Chad Ryan, Mark Phillips and Chip Brierre sit down 1-on-1 with Safety Deshazor Everett after a practice session this morning that saw the Safeties on the roster talking a lot of trash to the offense. It started with DJ Swearinger but rest assured Montae Nicholson and Everett got just as involved as well.

You'll also hear Chad talk to Troy Apke about playing Safety opposite Deshazor Everett, as well as Swearinger and Jay Gruden talking about how exciting and how important it is to be going into 2018 with the same starting Safety tandem that the Redskins had last season - the first time that's ever occurred in Gruden's time with the Redskins!

All that and a lot of laughs on a great episode of RCC from day four of camp!

The action continues in Richmond as Redskins Capital Connection continues our live coverage from here at Training Camp 2018!

Today your hosts Chad Ryan, Mark Phillips and Chip Brierre bring you all the news from day 3, including the progress of Alex Smith as he continues to develop a rapport with his team mates, and just why Derrius Guice and Jamison Crowder might be set for really big years.

We then sit down with Anthony Lanier II and talk about that rebuilt defensive line, playing in a contract year, and how fatherhood changes his approach to the game. Lanier also took today's RCC Teammate Trivia challenge very seriously. It's competitive out here on multiple levels.

All that and more on the day 3 edition of the Redskins Capital Connection.

We're back!

Together we sit down with Left Guard Shawn Lauvao today for a great chat about his injury history, what it takes to stay healthy in this league, and why Coach Bill Callahan calls Lauvao a "warrior".

We give you a nice recap of all the day 2 action, including our observations on why this Redskins Defensive Line is going to be a force to be reckoned with this season.
