The Washington Wrap

It's been a chaotic and confusing week for the Washington Redskins, with a myriad of uncertainty stemming from the Preseason Week 2 game versus Detroit that saw Quarterback Robert Griffin III struggle once again.

To discuss the upcoming game versus the Baltimore Ravens, hosts Chad and Mark are joined by another Mark; this time Mr Bullock from the Washington Post.

Hear us discuss new Defensive Coordinator Joe Barry's cover 3 system, how Preston Smith and Trent Murphy will be involved following the Junior Galette injury, and what the Redskins defense in general can expect to face from Joe Flacco.

Preseason Week 2 - Redskins beat Detroit 21-17

For the second week in a row the Redskins have come away from a preseason game victorious on the scoreboard but with more questions than answers stemming from the game.

To talk about those questions, hosts Chad and Mark are joined by Brian McNally, Redskins beat reporter for 106.7 The Fan. 

We talk about the sheer amount of hits Robert Griffin III took and who was to blame. We also talk about what did go right for the Redskins, including the Safety tandem of Ihenacho and Goldson starting to shine, as well as the ground game behind exciting rookie Matt Jones continuing to move the chains.

All that and more in this weeks episode of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast.

Training Camp Day 10: Fight

In terms of a football practice, Day 10 of Redskins Training Camp and Day 3 of the joint practices with the Houston Texans were a bit of a bust, due to the heavy rain and, or course, the massive all-in melee that ensued. 

Host Chad is joined by rookie co-host Anthony (subbing in for Mark, who was on a veterans day off), and they talk to Redskins players Duke Ihenacho, Stephen Paea, Keenan Robinson, Will Compton, and Darrel Young about the fight, and what it was like going against the Texans. 

All that and more from our last day at Redskins Training Camp in 2015. It's been an absolute pleasure bringing you coverage from the fields here. We hope you've enjoyed it.
