Redskins trade for HaHa Clinton-Dix

October 31, 2018 17:34 - 20 minutes - 19 MB

October 29, 2018 04:47 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

In the compelling first round of the 2018 Draft, the Redskins lucked out when my favorite prospect Derwin James fell right into their collective lap, but they squandered this happy accident and picked Da'Ron Payne instead. Colin and I sort through our mixed emotions.

Bruce, free agency, draft

March 29, 2018 03:53 - 42 minutes - 39.4 MB

My intellectual buddy Colin joins the Blogcast again to help me break down several recent goings-on in the Redskins universe. We touched on Bruce Allen's comments at the league meetings in Orlando, our mutual inner deadness after UVA's ghastly tournament loss, some key moves the Skins did (and didn't) make in early free agency, our current draft crushes, and a few implications of the Su'a Cravens trade.

Early free agency

March 15, 2018 02:29 - 30 minutes - 28.5 MB

Free agency is (technically) only a few hours old, but there are plenty of Redskins roster moves and non-moves to discuss. Is Paul Richardson the answer at receiver? Should the Skins have ponied up for Bashaud Breeland? Who the heck is still left? Please keep in mind that NFL free agency is rarely what it seems.

A convo with my pal Colin
