The Washington Wrap
Training Camp Day 14 w/ Greg Toler & Deshaun Phillips

Day 14 of Redskins training camp -the final day before the players have a closed session tomorrow and then head home to Ashburn- saw the players come out of the locker rooms not in pads, but only in uniforms, meaning that it was a half speed/no contact day.

Hosts Chad and Mark brave the blistering hot temperatures to bring you all of the day’s action, before sitting down with both Greg Toler & Deshaun Phillips. We ask them about life in the secondary, before running them through the Redskins Capital Connection lightning round!

With camp coming to a close, and host Chad off getting married in a few weeks, this is the last RCC podcast until early September! Thank you for listening throughout camp, and keep checking Redskins Capital Connection’s website for coverage of the preseason!

Later in the show, Redskins Defensive End Chris Baker sits down with us for a nice long chat, and we ran him through the Redskins Lightning Round.

Training Camp Day 10 w/ Su'a Cravens

Day ten of Redskins camp saw the rain come down hard and the conditions become slippery, but the level of play on the field wasn't too adversely affected.

Host Chad and substitute co-host Anthony break down all of the action from today's practice session, including the 'play of the day', as well as the players we have been impressed by this week.

Later in the show we sit down with Redskins rookie Su'a Cravens, and ask him about life as a Linebacker, his rapport with Martrell Spaight, and his relationship with his coaches. We then, of course, run him through the Redskins Lightning Round, but not until after Head Coach Jay Gruden crashes our interview to ask Cravens a question of his own!

All that and more on today's edition of the Redskins Capital Connection.

Training Camp Day 9 w/ Ricky Jean-Francois

Throughout the first week of Redskins training camp, it was the defense who had the edge over the offense. 

But today on day nine, Quarterback Kirk Cousins looked sharp and accurate as he had multiple successful drives either resulting in touchdowns or field-goals. 

Host Chad is really reaching down the depth chart today, as he ropes in third stringer Michael Phillips (from the Richmond Times-Dispatch) to co-host, as they recap all the action from Richmond. 
 
Later in the show we sit down with Defensive End Ricky Jean-Francois to talk about life in the trenches, the high expectations on the defense this year, and of course, we run him through the Redskins Capital Connection Lightning Round!

Training Camp Day 8, w/ Chris Thompson

Day eight of Redskins Training Camp saw the attention focused on the second and third units today, as the players head into an off day tomorrow. All in all, the first teams had another light day, which gives host Chad and substitute co-host Anthony a great opportunity to take stock and reflect on the first week of Training Camp.

Later in the show, we sit down with Running Back Chris Thompson, who is quietly having a superb camp as he continues to make big plays each and every day. We also have a quick chat to Cornerback Josh Norman, who has consistently been the last player off of the field after practices, and who by far spends the most time signing autographs for the fans. 

As we said, the Redskins have an off day on Saturday, so we'll be back on Sunday with all of your Training Camp coverage.

Training Camp Day 7 w/ Will Blackmon & Steven Daniels

Some positive signs for the Washington Redskins offense on day 7 of training camp, but with a big caveat.

Join hosts Chad and Mark as they take you through a full recap of today's Redskins practice, and explain why Quarterback Kirk Cousins strong day may need to be qualified with an asterisk.

Later in the show, Boston College alums Will Blackmon and Steven Daniels sit down with us to talk life as a 10 year veteran compared to life as a rookie, and find out the truth about whether or not Blackmon ever came back to school to support the team after he left.

As always, it's a fun show filled with some laughs as we give you everything you need to know from the Bon Secours training facility here in Richmond, Virginia.

Training Camp Day 6, w/ Will Compton & Mason Foster

It was a light session for the Washington Redskins on day six of Training Camp, as the focus was on the Special Teams unit. For those players without any Special Teams responsibilities, their practice consisted of some basic conditioning and weights drills. 

That doesn't mean that there wasn't much to talk about today, however, and your hosts Chad and Mark give you the full recap of the day's training. 

Today we were also fortunate enough to sit down with Linebackers Will Compton and Mason Foster, better known to some as the 'bash brothers'. Anyone who is familiar with these two off of the field will know that they're always a blast to talk to, and sitting down with both of them at once effectively doubles that impact. We ask them what it's like to enter a Training Camp and preseason as the presumptive starters, what they're seeing from the improved secondary behind them since the arrival of Josh Norman, and after all of that, we run them through the Redskins Capital Connection lightning round. 

It's a fun one today, folks. We hope you enjoy it.

After that, Chad and Mark sit down with the entire Redskins special teams unit - Tress Way, Nick Sundberg and Dustin Hopkins, as we ask them about life in the special teams meeting room, and how training camp differs for the specialists. To finish up, we take all three of them through the Redskins Capital Connection lightning round, which is 'can't miss' listening!

Training Camp Day 4 w/ Duke Ihenacho

The conditions were hot and sticky out here in Richmond for day four of Redskins Training Camp, but thankfully that wasn't reflected in the play on the field.

Hosts Chad and Mark are live on the field at the Bon Secours training facility, and throughout camp the theme continues to be the dominance of the Redskins defense over the offense. 

On today's episode we give you the full recap of day four's action, plus we sit down with Redskins Safety Duke Ihenacho and ask him about what it's like to matchup versus Jordan Reed, as well as his thoughts on the impact that Josh Norman brings to this secondary. 

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