On this episode of the Redskins Capital Connection, we are diving straight in to our draft coverage, but we're doing it in a slightly different way; we're looking at three of the more credible mock drafts doing the rounds each week and discussing who they have allocated to be the newest member of the Washington Redskins, looking at who they've left on the board for us, and how the player they've selected would fit here in DC! This week covers RB Derrius Guice, DT Vita Vea, and S Derwin James! Then later on in the show, the interview that many (many) of you asked for is finally here... Usually on the Redskins Capital Connection, host Chad Ryan tends to tone down his Australian eccentricities for the sake of his primarily American audience. But after the Washington Redskins signed free agent Australian Punter Sam Irwin-Hill, any chance of that persisting flew out the window.  Together with co-host Mark Phillips, we also of course cover off on all the pertinent news circling around Redskins headquarters at this quiet time of the NFL years. It's a good show!

Pre-draft projections, & Punter Sam Irwin-Hill

This week saw the 2018 football offseason officially begin as the Washington Redskins players returned to Ashburn for their first round of offseason strength and conditioning workouts in team facilities this year! So things are finally starting to get exciting both locally with the Redskins, and nationally across the league as we get closer to next week's 2018 NFL draft, which we will talk about on today's show by continuing our theme from last week where we look at three potential first round picks for the Redskins by looking at notable mock drafts and talking about the players they've projected to Washington, and what each board looks like. Last week we spoke about Derrius Guice, Vita Vea and Derwin James. This week it's Da'Ron Payne, Denzel Ward and Tremaine Edmunds! Join hosts Chad Ryan, Mark Phillips, and Robbie Duncan as they talk about those three potential first round rookies as well as recapping all the Redskins news of the past week! Let us know on Twitter if you agree or disagree with anything we've said, or if you think we've got something plain wrong!

Workouts Begin, & Three More Potential Redskins First Round Selections

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.

Post 2018 Draft Mega Pod!

Lots to talk about today as we really start getting closer and closer to football, and this week has seen the veteran Redskins players back in the building and on the practice field for offseason workouts, and come Friday the 11th of May (which is tomorrow as of recording this podcast) the Redskins 2018 draft picks, undrafted free agents, as well as a handful of tryout players report to Ashburn for three days of rookie minicamp. It's the first time we'll see guys like DaRon Payne and Derrius Guice in the Burgundy and Gold, and will be a great opportunity to really start getting a better idea about what this 2018 season Redskins roster may look like. Hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are joined by friend of the show Lake Lewis from the USA Today's 'The Redskins Wire' to discuss that, as well as the items in the news that we'll cover off from the past week as well including the departure of Scott Campbell from the Redskins front office, the re-signing of LG Shawn Lauvao, and the fact that it looks like the Redskins will be getting a bunch of compensatory picks in the 2019 draft! PLUS this was the first podcast episode that we simultaneously broadcast live as we recorded it on Twitch, so in future you can listen in at twitch.tv/chadwiko for a good behind the scenes look at what goes in to making this podcast happen!

Rookie Minicamp & Offseason Workouts

Liz Clarke

Hosts Chad Ryan, Mark Phillips, and guest third-wheel Robbie Duncan are your pilots today on another episode of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast! On today's show we're going to be starting our pre-training camp series of positional reviews, where we look at the current lineup of players across all the different positions, talk about who are stone-cold locks to make the roster, who has to fight for a spot, who is exciting us and intriguing us, and other bits and pieces of info. This week we're kicking the series off by looking at the Defensive Backs and Linebackers, which makes for a great and insightful chat. Also on this week's show, we learned last week that good friend of the show and just all around absolute champion Liz Clarke from the Washington Post is transitioning off of the Redskins beat and covering other sports for the Post now. So Chad took it upon himself to conduct her Redskins Beat Exit Interview. It's all a bit silly but we think it was a lot of fun and it really gave Liz a great chance to reflect upon her time on the beat in a unique way, and is a great lens upon which to look at this organisation through. Thanks as always for tuning in!

OTAs and Offensive Line & Defensive Line 

Chris Thompson

The Redskins offseason is officially over! Yes, with Head Coach Jay Gruden cancelling the last day of mandatory minicamp, the Redskins players have now been released back in to the wild for the last time in 2018 as they now enjoy five and a half weeks of personal time to do whatever they please, so long as they report to Training Camp on July 26 in fit and fighting condition. Today hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are once again joined by Redskins Capital Connection's own Robbie Duncan as we continue our ongoing series that looks at every position group and every player currently on the Redskins 90 man roster.  And this week to help us look at the Running Backs, we have a very special guest; Redskins RB Chris Thompson dials in to the show for a quick 1-on-1 chat with Chad about life in the Running Backs room in 2018, his own recovery, and what fans can expect in 2018. We recap minicamp, including the buzz surrounding both Alex Smith and Derrius Guice, and take a deep dive on the Wide Receivers as well. All in all, another fun show! Tell your friends!

Nick Sundberg

We've got a great show for you today as we finish our position group breakdown series by looking at the Quarterbacks, Tight Ends and Special Teams players currently on the Washington Redskins 90 man roster as we steam towards Training Camp, which is just now some 4 weeks away! Host Chad Ryan is joined by cameo co-host Robbie Duncan on today's episode, and oh boy is it a good one.  We dialed up friend of the show Nick Sundberg, who is now officially the longest tenured current Redskin on the roster following the retirement of DeAngelo Hall. Nick helps us break down the special teams units at the top of the show and really give us a good front-line insight into what it takes to be a strong special teams unit, including what he's seen from young guys like Deshazor Everett and Quinton Dunbar that has impressed him, and what it takes to be a true specialist in the modern NFL.  We end the show by looking at the Tight Ends and Quarterbacks, and SPOILER ALERT: we think Alex Smith will be the starter this year. A lot of laughs and a lot of great football insight on today's RCC podcast - who says you can't have both?! Listen out for the cameo from Nick Sundberg's dog, too.

The Washington Wrap

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!

Week Eight - The Haskins Dilemma

Today's episode of the Redskins Capital Connection is focusing on two things; we take a quick look at the points of interest about the Redskins 2019 schedule that was released last night, and then after that discussion, we cast our eyes forward one week from today to the NFL draft and discuss what specific positions the Redskins need to focus on upgrading via the draft process. Joining us on this adventure today are three of our RCC family members; host Chad Ryan and co-hosts Mark Phillips and Robbie Duncan.  Together they identify what position group they believe requires the most attention (other than Quarterback, they all pick a different position!), what hidden pitfalls might be lurking on the Redskins roster at present, and what salary cap casualties may be in the near future... All of that and much more!

2019 Schedule, & Positions of Need for the Draft

Alex Smith

Ughhhhhhhhhhhh. Alright, let's do this. Washington Redskins fans; no one enjoys situations like this, but after Alex Smith broke his leg in a gruesome fashion on Sunday afternoon against the Houston Texans, we've rallied for a quick emergency podcast to talk through the ramifications both short and long term, and the steps that this football team will likely take to mitigate the fallout from such a disastrous occurrence. Host Chad Ryan and co-host Mark Phillips are here for a two man show today and please bear with us; we don't usually record on Mondays unless the shit has hit the fan, and in the famous words of old William Shakespeare; the shit hath hitteth the fan. So really there's three things on the agenda today; Firstly just the immediate fallout of the Alex Smith injury and what it will mean to this team. Secondly is the very real requirement all of a sudden to sign a new Quarterback, and who the likely candidates are and who the candidates should be. And finally; beyond the 2018 season what this means for the Washington Redskins as a franchise that really needed to get at least two serviceable seasons out of Alex Smith in 2018 and 2019. We know it's a bummer, but this is a big deal and we have to talk about it, so why not do it with us?

Alex Smith injury & the QB situation - Bonus Episode

Things are bleak for the Washington Redskins at the moment. Really bleak. They've started the season 0-4. They have a Quarterback controversy. They have their best player holding out with no end in sight. They have multiple players missing significant time to injuries. They have veterans under-performing. They have a home stadium routinely filled with opposition fans. They have a fan-base at the end of their rope. And they have what appears to be a lame-duck coaching staff being governed by a potentially lame-duck front office administration. So yeah, things are bad. So on today's show, host Chad Ryan does something a bit different before we look ahead to this week's game vs a scrappy little team called the New England Patriots; he presents to you his twelve month plan for turning this franchise around in the most achievable and realistic way possible, under the ownership of Dan Snyder. It is The Plan to Save the Redskins.  Including everything from interim coaches, to full-time coaches. Trades. Draft picks. Off-field moves. Front-office moves. He names names and goes into detail about the moves he believes will best equip the Washington Redskins to reset the culture and move forward under a model of success.  Take a listen, and then tell us what you think he got right, and what he got wrong in this plan.

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..."

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..."

Week Nine - Redskins at Buffalo & Trent Williams' return, w/ Kareem Copeland

Terry McLaurin

We've got a great show for you on this week's Redskins Capital Connection.  Host Chad Ryan has an exclusive one-on-one interview with Redskins rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin, where they talk about his route tree, his best 'position' as a wide receiver in the NFL, and his perceptions of the poor corner backs that are forced to try and keep up with his blazing 4.35 speed! Together with co-host Mark Phillips, we also break down where we're at with the Trent Williams hold-out situation, including the apparent poor perceptions of the Redskins medical personnel that RCC's own Rob Henson has been trying to tell people for some time.  And because mandatory minicamp is well underway, we have actual football to discuss as well. Sure, the players aren't in pads and aren't hitting each other, but a little bit of football is better than no football.  It's a fun episode today! Enjoy, and don't forget to leave us a rating &amp; review on whatever podcast platform you're listening to Redskins Capital Connection on - it helps us massively.

Offseason - Terry McLaurin interview, Trent Williams holdout, and mandatory minicamp

We're back!  Yes, the Redskins Capital Connection team took a longer than anticipated break following the 2018 season, but we spent the time wisely tending to pregnant wives and working the phones trying to keep our fingers on the pulse of this Washington Redskins team.  So today, we're making up for lost time.  Hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips dial up 106.7 The Fan's resident Redskins insider Craig Hoffman.  We're recapping -literally- every single story that we missed over the last 6~ weeks, including (but not limited to) the coaching changes, the signings, releases, and re-signings, the rumors, and the around-the-league machinations that have impacted the way the Redskins are preparing for season 2019.  Landon Collins. Adrian Peterson. Case Keenum. Josh Rosen. AJ Green. All the names that need to be discussed are discussed, as we spend the better part of an hour covering everything that is to be covered.   Whether you've been paying close attention on a daily basis, or you've been taking a break from living and breathing Redskins news, this episode of the podcast is definitely a great way to get up to speed and start getting ready as we head to the 2019 NFL Draft in some six short weeks.  It's good to be back!

Offseason Wrap-Up & Looking Ahead...

John Keim

Alright Washington Redskins fans; we're definitely in troubled waters right now, but the goal of today's episode of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast is to figure out if these troubled waters are uncharted, or is this somehow familiar territory? We've actually got a good show for you today, in somewhat stark contrast to what you all probably witnessed on Monday Night Football against the Eagles. Joining hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips is the most trusted voice covering the Washington Redskins - ESPN's John Keim, making his long-awaited RCC debut.  Together they do a bit of a pulse-check on this organization and try and figure out if the perception of doom-and-gloom that seems to be surrounding this 6-6 team at present is warranted, or just weird.  The conversation then turns to Mark Sanchez, whose starting role in this week's upcoming game vs the New York Giants will represent only the third time in 20 years that the Redskins have started three different Quarterbacks in the same season.  All of that and so much more on today's episode of the Redskins Capital Connection!

Week 14 - Giants vs Redskins, w/ John Keim

Craig Hoffman

Reuben Foster

Instead of doing an 'emergency' podcast right after the Washington Redskins claimed Reuben Foster off waivers, we here at Redskins Capital Connection wanted to pause for a moment and let at least a few more details roll in before talking about it. Well, we have some more details but we still have a lot of questions. Today, hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are joined by Craig Hoffman (106.7 The Fan) to unpack what we know about how and why the Redskins elected to claim a man twice accused of domestic violence. It's a discussion that deals with a lot of uncertainty, but we attempt to stick with what we know and what it leads us to believe. We also look ahead to this week's NFC East action that could see the Redskins back in outright 1st place... or they could drop to out-right 3rd place. It's a pivotal week, to say the least. As always, thank you for tuning in - tell your friends and enjoy the show.

The Robs are back! The On the Warpath hosts Robbie Duncan (Former D1 offensive lineman, now OL film guru) and Rob Henson (Former Washington Redskins Linebacker) return from a long break to bring you their thoughts on a wide-range of Redskins issues. Together they cover the Reuben Foster situation and the Kareem Hunt video and the impact it has on the Redskins and the NFL. They also share their thoughts on Alex Smith and how he played before his major injury, and how they predict the rest of the season will play out, including Monday's pivotal game vs the Eagles. It's good to be home!

On the Warpath - The Redskins Run Home

With less than two weeks until the 2019 NFL Draft, things are getting very intriguing... The Washington Redskins have picks 15, 46, 76, and 96 in the first 100 picks of the draft, and they also have a lot of holes that need to either be filled or improved on their roster. And the biggest question mark, by far, is the Quarterback. If Cardinals GM Steve Keim wants to take Kyler Murray, then he needs to figure out how to maximize his return on investment in Josh Rosen. Which means he needs an active buyer in a trade market. A team who needs a Quarterback, and would be willing to trade for him. Enter, the Washington Redskins. Host Chad Ryan is joined by Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) to take a deep-dive down in to the murky waters of this fluid situation, and ask all the pertinent questions; will the Cardinals take Murray? What is Rosen's price likely to be on an open market? Is he worth that price? What would this trade mean for the Redskins?  All of that and more on today's episode of the Redskins Capital Connection.
