The Washington Wrap

The Washington Redskins have found themselves both a new Offensive and Defensive Coordinator for season 2017 (and beyond?), promoting two in-house assistant coaches in Matt Cavanaugh and Greg Manusky, respectively. 

Given some of the big names linked with the Redskins coordinator vacancies, especially on the defensive side, should fans be disappointed or concerned about what these "uninspired" in-house promotions signal for ongoing stability moving forward?

To help hosts Chad and Mark unpack all of that, they once again call upon good friend of the show and all around football genius Jerry Brewer from the Washington Post. Unsurprisingly, Jerry brings some fascinating insight into the selection process and the perceptions that emanate from these hirings. 

Towards the end of our chat, we ask Jerry about the current status of the looming negotiations between the Redskins and Kirk Cousins, and Jerry drops a couple of bombs on us about just how different the public comments from each side may be compared to the actual thinking and plans. 

It's a must-listen episode for Redskins fans who, like us, still live and breathe Redskins football even in the early stages of what is already proving to be an interesting offseason!

Well, it's over.

The Washington Redskins 2016 campaign has come to an unceremonious end, with the team finishing 8-7-1 and on the outside of the playoffs, looking forlornly in. 

It's incredibly hard to summarise just what happened this year for the Redskins, so to help us take stock of the past 5 and a half months of football, hosts Chad and Mark are joined by fellow Redskins Capital Connection team members Anthony Raposa, Robert Henson, Robbie Duncan and Alex Espinoza

As a panel, the team talks about everything ranging from Kirk Cousins and his future, what happens if Joe Barry stays and Sean McVay leaves, who our picks are for the Redskins offensive and defensive players of the year, and more! 

It's an absolutely mammoth episode wrapping up the season that probably raised more questions than it answered for the Redskins brass, as we now head into that long and dark part of the year we call "Waiting for Redskins Season".
