Offseason March 12 - Comeback Recap!
March 12, 2018 06:22 - 1 hour - 70 MBWe here at Redskins Capital Connection have been on a bit of a break and basically took the entire month of February off to unwind and recharge the batteries after what was a pretty grueling 2017 season. But we're excited to be back and talking all things Washington football with all of you out there listening in across the world! Since we took some time off host Chad Ryan called a bit of an audible on this comeback episode and instead of his usual co-host Mark Phillips, we let him continu...
Emergency Pod - Alex Smith Trade
January 31, 2018 12:22 - 31 minutes - 33.8 MBWe here at Redskins Capital Connection were hoping to have a nice little post-season break until at least the Super Bowl, but Bruce Allen and the Redskins have ensured that our relaxation was to be short lived with the bombshell news late on Tuesday night, January 30th that the Washington Redskins had traded a 3rd round pick in the 2018 draft and Cornerback Kendall Fuller to the Kansas City Chiefs for 33 year old Pro Bowl Quarterback Alex Smith. So it's time for an emergency podcast. On ...
2017 Season Wrap Up & RCC MVP!
January 09, 2018 12:00 - 1 hour - 64.2 MBWelcome to the end of the 2017 season; a year which saw our Washington Redskins limp to the finish line at 7-9 and with way more questions than answers moving forward into the 2018 season and beyond. Your hosts Chad Ryan, Mark Phillips, and Robbie Duncan are here today to put a bow on the season and really try and get a handle on what went right, what went wrong, and where we go from here... and yes, that means we're going to be talking about Kirk Cousins, so stay tuned. And at last we'r...
Week Sixteen: Progress, Pro Bowls, and the Process
December 20, 2017 21:05 - 48 minutes - 45.2 MBMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Redskins fans! This week on the Redskins Capital Connection, hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are joined by friend of the show Jerry Brewer (Washington Post). Together, we're discussing the Redskins win over the Cardinals and what, if any, impact the win has on things like Jay Gruden's job security, as well as the psyche of the players. We're also tipping our hats to the Redskins players who were selected for the Pro Bowl this year, and figuring ...
On the Warpath - Cravens, The Coach, and the Cornerback
December 15, 2017 12:47 - 35 minutes - 36.6 MBAmong a pile of diapers and a background of no sleep, the On the Warpath boys are back! Robbie Duncan and Rob Henson are here as we barrel towards the end of an ugly season, and as usual there are three rounds of debate on deck today. Firstly, what's going on with Su'a Cravens? We've heard he's been 'medically cleared to return to football'... but did we know he wasn't medically available?! After that, we can't ignore the question that everyone is talking about this week; does Jay Gr...
Week 15 - To tank or not to tank?
December 12, 2017 13:35 - 41 minutes - 40.8 MBWe're back! After a one week hiatus due to some rubbish scheduling on our part, the world's number one podcast dedicated to the Washington Redskins is back just in time to.... talk about the second crappy loss in a row. Hooray?! Hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips may be on the opposite side of the world from each other, but don't let the geography fool you; we here at Redskins Capital Connection are plugged in to everything that's going on and are here to help you peek behind the curtai...
Week Thirteen: Scheduling, Speculating, & Speeding down the Home Stretch
November 27, 2017 13:48 - 52 minutes - 52.9 MBFresh off the holiday weekend, it's time to get back to football with your hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips. The reason we're recording this week's Redskins Capital Connection podcast on Monday is because the Redskins find themselves in the middle of a strange schedule at the moment - after beating the New York Giants on Thanksgiving last Thursday in a 20-10 victory, they play a second consecutive Thursday game this week against the Dallas Cowboys down in Texas. It's kind of a crappy sit...
Heartbreak, Hurt Players, and Q&A!
November 22, 2017 13:17 - 57 minutes - 60 MBThe Redskins found a new way to break our hearts this week... or maybe it was just an old way refreshed. But either way the loss against the New Orleans Saints hurt in more ways than one, and not least of which because it added yet more names to the Injured Reserve list. Your hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are here to make sure you're well and truly up to date on all things Washington Redskins football. We'll talk about who is done for the year and who the Redskins will be looking to ...
On the Warpath - Frustrations, Inconsistencies, & the Future
November 18, 2017 12:50 - 36 minutes - 35.1 MBThis week's episode of On the Warpath has come out a little later than we would have liked, but unfortunately life with a newborn baby works to it's own schedule! But that hasn't stopped hosts Robbie Duncan and Rob Henson from getting into this week's big issues surrounding the Washington Redskins. How can the Redskins defense play so well one week but totally collapse against the Vikings? And the inconsistencies continue at the Quarterback position, too. If Washington are going to t...
Week 11 - Nothing ever changes with the Redskins
November 15, 2017 13:55 - 47 minutes - 54.8 MBTo borrow a quote from today's guest on the Redskins Capital Connection podcast - "Nothing ever changes with the Redskins". On today's show your hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are going to be doing their part to make sure you're well informed and nicely up to date on everything that's happening around the team this week. As the Redskins come off a 38-30 loss to the Vikings, they don't have time to sit around and lick their wounds because they head straight into another tough NFC mat...
On the Warpath - Vikings week, what it takes to win, and Josh Doctson's ceiling
November 11, 2017 22:45 - 25 minutes - 25.5 MBWe're back! That's right, the Rob's are reunited as their technical difficulties are resolved and families have grown, as Robbie Duncan is once again joined by Rob Henson to bring you On the Warpath. This week's episode is focused on how the Redskins victory against Seattle can be a blueprint for how this team can win even when players struggle, before the conversation moves on to Josh Doctson and just how incredible he can be (and don't worry, there's surely no bias at play from TCU al...
Week Nine: Winning Games Defensively - Talking Xs and Os with Mason Foster
November 08, 2017 14:11 - 54 minutes - 54.1 MBThe Redskins marched out of the 'Clink' in Seattle victorious in an unlikely 17-14 win. So how did they do it? Well, a huge part of that was the astounding level of play of the Washington defense. But don't take our word for it... Joining hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips on today's episode is Redskins Linebacker Mason Foster (@Mason_Foster), who continues his adjustment from suiting up in the burgundy and gold on Sundays to becoming a live game analyst on social media now that he's on t...
On the Warpath - Cousins vs the Coaches, & Redskins Players vs the Injury Bug
November 03, 2017 12:36 - 42 minutes - 38 MBWith regular host Rob Henson celebrating the birth of his newborn son Maverick Henson this week, the On the Warpath boys needed to bring in a ringer who could keep the game-plan running smoothly. After hearing his Redskins Capital Connection podcast debut last week, host Robbie Duncan decided to put the call out, and is joined this week by 106.7 The Fan's Redskins Beat Reporter Craig Hoffman as the guest co-host! Robbie & Craig discuss what the heck is with all these injuries the Redsk...
Week Eight: Trades, Troubles and Travelling West
November 01, 2017 13:10 - 56 minutes - 58.5 MBEven though things aren't all sunshine and rainbows in Redskins nation right now, there's still plenty to talk about this week as we recap the 33-19 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, preview this week's west-coast trip to Seattle, and also take a bit of a look at what's happening around the team at the moment. To help hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips do all that, this week we were going to bring in Redskins Capital Connection's own Robbie Duncan, who you can normally hear on our siste...
Hurt Players, Hot Seats, and a Hellish Month of Football
October 26, 2017 13:05 - 44 minutes - 45.2 MBThe Washington Redskins have six players on Injured Reserve, sixteen players on the injury report, and on Sunday they play football on a short week against their arch rivals the Dallas Cowboys coming off a bruising loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. So yeah, things are going great right now. On today's show hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are joined by good mate Liz Clarke from the Washington Post to discuss the mammoth injury situation, the narrative with Kirk Cousins after yet an...
Week Six: Injuries, Improvement, and Staying in the Hunt
October 18, 2017 12:24 - 43 minutes - 42.3 MBThe Redskins have moved to 3 and 2 on the season following what can best be described as a rather pedestrian 26-24 victory at home over the San Francisco 49ers. But 3 and 2 is obviously better than 2 and 3, and it's also good enough to keep Washington firmly in the playoff hunt! However, if the Redskins are going to make a run for the post-season, then they will need to have a lot better luck than they've had with injuries to start the season, and that's probably the biggest story around t...
Recapping MNF and looking back at the first four games of 2017
October 04, 2017 12:46 - 35 minutes - 39.5 MBWe've reached the first quarter mark of the 2017 Washington Redskins campaign, and it just so happens to coincide with the bye week, so what better time to recap not only the 29-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football, but also step back and look at the big picture after four games. The Redskins find themselves at 2-2 heading into the bye, and there have been some enormously positive signs so far, but also still some areas of concern remain, and the room for improvement...
Week Four - Protests, Raiders Victory, and Previewing KC Chiefs w/ Jerry Brewer
September 27, 2017 13:31 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MBIt was a huge week of football, both on and off the field, as the Washington Redskins absolutely decimated the Oakland Raiders in a performance that we haven't seen in many, many years. The question now is; was it an aberration, or have the Redskins turned a corner? To help hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips really dive deep into that question, as well as unpacking the protests that cast a large shadow over the football world this weekend, they are joined by Jerry Brewer from the Washingto...
On the Warpath - Raiders, Running Backs, and Retaining Momentum
September 27, 2017 12:54 - 33 minutes - 36.2 MBThe boys are still battling through some technical barriers but they're getting together to bring you On the Warpath!

First up, hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are joined by Redskins beat reporter Lake Lewis (USA Today's The Redskins Wire) to recap the week two victory over the Los Angeles Rams - a game that became a bit of a 'bodybag' encounter for the Redskins that saw a whopping eight players leave the game injur...

Today, they are figuring out what went wrong and what went right versus the Los Angeles Ra...
Week Two w/ Mark Bullock
September 13, 2017 12:30 - 51 minutes - 52.9 MBThe start of the Washington Redskins 2017 campaign has followed the same script of the previous four years; slow out of the gates in week one. But life continues here at the Redskins Capital Connection, so we've got a big show on the cards for you today. Hosts Chad and Mark are here to cover all the topics of note, and to help them along the way we dial up the least tanned member of the cabal of characters who cover the Washington Redskins; our good friend Mark Bullock from the Washingto...
Week One 2017, w/ Conor Orr
September 06, 2017 13:24 - 49 minutes - 49.6 MBRegular season football! At last! It's here! Don't get us wrong. Training Camp is fun. Preseason has it's place.

The Washington Redskins open their 2017 season hosting division rivals the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and to help hosts Chad Ryan, Mark Phillips, and Robbie Duncan preview that game, we're joined to...
QUICK HIT - Su'a Cravens situation, w/ Mike Jones
September 04, 2017 12:33 - 25 minutes - 24.8 MBToday's Redskins Capital Connection podcast is a special unscheduled episode - we're not going to be talking about week one versus the Eagles today, or hit any of our season preview topics - we'll be covering all of that on Wednesday's regularly scheduled RCC podcast. Instead this is a quick-hit episode today, and we're here to talk about the news that broke Sunday afternoon that Redskins second year player Su'a Cravens has had to be talked out of retiring, and to give both the team and pl...
Cut Day Looms, and the Redskins Preseason w/ Chris Russell
August 30, 2017 13:14 - 49 minutes - 47.6 MBOn last week's show we noted that it had been eleven years since the Washington Redskins lost their first two games of the preseason. Thankfully the Redskins won in week three versus the Cincinnati Bengals, because we didn't want to have to dive through the history books to figure out when the last time they lost their first three was! This week, your Redskins Capital Connection hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are joined by the infamous Chris Russell (aka Big Sexy), as they discuss the m...
Preseason Woes and the Redskins Roster Bubble, w/ Liz Clarke
August 23, 2017 12:48 - 58 minutes - 58.6 MBFor the first time in eleven years, the Washington Redskins have lost their first two preseason games. But should we be worried?

Together Chad and Liz wonder about Josh Docts...

June 29, 2017 14:05 - 1 hour - 41.6 MBJust because the six week break between the end of OTAs/minicamp and the start of training camp is the quietest part of the NFL calendar doesn't mean that the Redskins Capital Connection crew are sitting around simply waiting for Redskins season 2017 to begin!
