With the Washington Redskins facing a huge week 17 game against the New York Giants on Sunday that will either extend or extinguish the 2016 season, we felt it was time for the On the Warpath listeners to get as much insight as possible, even if it's from a division rival... 

That's why your hosts Anthony Raposa and Robert Henson have dialed up former New York Giants Cornerback Brian Witherspoon!

Together, they ponder whether or not the huge amount of pressure facing the Redskins this week can propel them into the playoffs with all of America watching, or will they shrink under the weight of expectation? And if the Redskins do make the playoffs, which team out of the possible opponents would be ideal? Lastly, can the Redskins go beyond week one of the postseason, or are they facing another one-and-done disappointment? 

All that and more with two former NFL players and one bearded hipster on this week's On the Warpath! 

For the Washington Redskins 2016 hopes and dreams, it all comes down to this; a win in week 17 versus the New York Giants, and the Redskins will almost certainly find themselves in the playoffs. 

Together, your hosts Chad and Mark cast our eyes forward to this pivotal game and discuss the big questions. Will the Giants rest their starters given that they are locked into 5th seed? What do the Redskins need to do to win this game? Who will the Redskins likely opponents be if they do make the playoffs? And finally, the question that seems to be generating quite a lot of debate; do the Redskins deserve to make playoffs?

All that and more in what may be, but hopefully won't be, the last Redskins Capital Connection of this 2016 Washington Redskins season!

You've seen them debate on Twitter multiple times, but this week, at long last, they go head-to-head in front of microphones... 

That's right; this week your On the Warpath hosts Anthony Raposa and Robert Henson have dialed up Redskins Capital Connection czar Chad Ryan to come on to the show and have a good old fashioned debate! 

Wasting no time, the first question tonight focuses on Kirk Cousins, and how much you'd offer him in a long-term deal moving forward, and what you'd do to secure him. Following that, we dive head first into the other pressing issues like choosing what to do with DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon, and how Scot McCloughan could fix this Redskins defense. 

It's a monster show this week, perfect for those long drives home for Christmas. 

Happy Holidays to all our listeners, and we hope you enjoy this week's show. 

With a brutal loss to the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football, the Washington Redskins no longer control their own fate when it comes to their chase for the playoffs. 

To help get an outside perspective on where the Redskins find themselves in the grand scheme of things now, Redskins Capital Connection hosts Chad and Mark are joined by return guest Marc Sessler (NFL.com/Around the NFL). 

Together they discuss whether or not Kirk Cousins' future in Washington is locked in, what changes should be made to the coaching staff, and why the game against Chicago on Christmas Eve could be more dangerous than people may suspect, to name just a few of the topics covered. 

It's always a light-hearted affair here on the Redskins Capital Connection, even when things may be bleak for Washington! Thanks for listening.

The On the Warpath crew is back once again, and once again hosts Anthony Raposa and Robert Henson are joined by Robbie Duncan to help them break down all this week's big Redskins questions!

With Josh Norman facing his old team for the first time, and the Redskins in a position to mathematically eliminate the Panthers from the 2016 playoffs this week, will Josh get his revenge? Or will a struggling Redskins defense fail to contain Cam Newton, despite his apparent form slump? And even if the Redskins do win this week, have they left it too little and too late for a genuine playoff run? 

All that and more on another jam-packed edition of On the Warpath!

With so much happening around Redskins park, it's a mammoth episode of Redskins Capital Connection this week as hosts Chad and Mark are joined by Master Tesfatsion (The Washington Post) to break it all down;

Josh Norman's pivotal battle against his former team this week could see his newly adopted Redskins formally end the Panthers season - how does that weigh on Norman and is he the kind of player who will have had this game circled on the calendar for a while? 

Beyond just Josh Norman, this is a huge game for the Redskins this week as they remain in the hunt for the NFC wildcard ticket to the playoffs, but they need to keep winning to stay within reach. 

We also ask the question that has been dominating Redskins social media this week; who do you keep in 2017 between DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon?

We dive head first in to all the key aspects of this week's game, and leave no stone unturned, unless we have deemed that stone ugly and boring. We aren't stone communists, after all. 

Join us, won't you, for another fun edition of the Redskins Capital Connection!

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. But how tough are these Washington Redskins? That is the central theme of debate on this week's episode of On the Warpath, as hosts Anthony Raposa and Rob Henson are joined by Redskins Capital Connection's own superstar rookie Robbie Duncan! 

The Cardinals loss last weekend hurt the Redskins in their hunt for the wildcard spot in this year's playoffs, so who is to blame? And after the game Coach Gruden gave the players a classic old fashioned spray, but how much does that actually help the team moving forward? Furthermore, now that Trent Williams has returned it is fair to ask; did his suspension cost the Redskins a win? 

It's another fun episode this week, so kick back, relax, and listen to two self proclaimed 'super-nerds' go toe-to-toe against a former NFL player and see who comes out on top!

As we enter the last month of the 2016 NFL regular season, the Washington Redskins find themselves a half-game outside of the playoffs. They remain well and truly in the hunt, but this past weekend's loss to the Arizona Cardinals has seriously dinged their momentum heading into the business end of the season. Can they bounce back? 

That is the question that hosts Chad and Mark start off with this week, before dialing up friend of the show JP Finlay (Redskins Insider for CSN). Together, the boys check in on the status of Spencer Long (concussion protocol) and Jordan Reed, and then talk about the Redskins defense and the growing 'fire Joe Barry' calls on social media. We finish it up with a discussion on the simple question; 'if Gruden wants more run plays, why doesn't he just call more run plays?'. 

It's a fun and insightful chat, and one which we are sure Redskins fans far and wide will enjoy. 

It seems like a lifetime since the Redskins last played, thanks to the 10 day break they find themselves on. But that break is soon to come to an end as the team travels to Arizona to take on the Cardinals on Sunday afternoon, in what is shaping up as a huge game for both outfits. 

Your hosts Anthony Raposa and Robert Henson are here to help you undertstand arguments for and against the big questions surrounding the game, such as 'can the Redskins contain David Johnson', 'are the Cardinals a trap team?', and 'do you see a scenario where Kirk Cousins may walk out on the Washington Redskins?'.
