The Washington Wrap

We've got a great show for you today as we finish our position group breakdown series by looking at the Quarterbacks, Tight Ends and Special Teams players currently on the Washington Redskins 90 man roster as we steam towards Training Camp, which is just now some 4 weeks away!

Host Chad Ryan is joined by cameo co-host Robbie Duncan on today's episode, and oh boy is it a good one. 

We dialed up friend of the show Nick Sundberg, who is now officially the longest tenured current Redskin on the roster following the retirement of DeAngelo Hall.

Nick helps us break down the special teams units at the top of the show and really give us a good front-line insight into what it takes to be a strong special teams unit, including what he's seen from young guys like Deshazor Everett and Quinton Dunbar that has impressed him, and what it takes to be a true specialist in the modern NFL. 

We end the show by looking at the Tight Ends and Quarterbacks, and SPOILER ALERT: we think Alex Smith will be the starter this year.

A lot of laughs and a lot of great football insight on today's RCC podcast - who says you can't have both?!

Listen out for the cameo from Nick Sundberg's dog, too.

The Redskins offseason is officially over!

Yes, with Head Coach Jay Gruden cancelling the last day of mandatory minicamp, the Redskins players have now been released back in to the wild for the last time in 2018 as they now enjoy five and a half weeks of personal time to do whatever they please, so long as they report to Training Camp on July 26 in fit and fighting condition.

Today hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are once again joined by Redskins Capital Connection's own Robbie Duncan as we continue our ongoing series that looks at every position group and every player currently on the Redskins 90 man roster. 

And this week to help us look at the Running Backs, we have a very special guest; Redskins RB Chris Thompson dials in to the show for a quick 1-on-1 chat with Chad about life in the Running Backs room in 2018, his own recovery, and what fans can expect in 2018.

We recap minicamp, including the buzz surrounding both Alex Smith and Derrius Guice, and take a deep dive on the Wide Receivers as well.

All in all, another fun show! Tell your friends!

Normally it doesn't matter what else is happening in Washington DC sports - the Washington Redskins are typically the main event.

Not today.

If most of you are just tuning in today this Thursday June 7th to help pass the time before the puck drops in Las Vegas tonight as the Washington Capitals look to become the first team in 25 years to bring a major league championship home to DC, that's fine by everyone here at RCC!

For those of you who are still interested in Redskins news today however, we've got a great show for you!

Hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are again joined by RCC's own Robbie Duncan, and together they first recap a little bit of what we've learned from OTAs this week, and then they continue the series that began last week looking at position groups going into training camp.

Last week we looked at the Linebackers and Defensive Backs, and this week we're going in to the trenches; it's the Defensive Line and the Offensive Line. 

As always, thanks for listening, please help us spread the word by telling your other Redskins friends and family to tune in, and don't forget to leave us a nice rating/review on the platform you listen to us through!
