This is probably the toughest week in the entire year to cover an NFL team as we cut the roster down from 90 players to 53.

Some players will get other opportunities, whether it's on another team, or on a practice squad... but for many, this will be the end of a lifelong dream of playing in the NFL.

It's heavy stuff, so to talk about it today we definitely need some emotional support and backup, and for that host Chad Ryan is joined by regular co-host Mark Phillips as well as RCC family member Robbie Duncan. 

Together they run through all 90 players currently on the roster and give their final thoughts on who will make the cut and who will be cut, and where the biggest roster battles will be won and lost, including this week in the 4th and final Preseason game in Baltimore. 

It's a deep-dive today, so strap in and enjoy the ride!

Hello Redskins fans and welcome back to the Redskins Capital Connection podcast; your best source for hearing all about what's going on with the Washington Redskins direct from the guy who might be the next Prime Minister of Australia.

On today's show hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips recap the past week of news around the team including the fact that Adrian Peterson is now in the Burgundy and Gold.

Then they dial up Craig Hoffman from 106.7 The Fan to talk about tonight's penultimate Preseason week 3 game against the Denver Broncos. 

The conversation hits on which players will suit up in the most important preseason game and which players will be watching from the sidelines, as well as what the key storylines to keep an eye on tonight are. 

Today's show is jam-packed with juicy information so don't miss it!

And please remember to tell your Redskins-supporting friends and family to listen to the podcast too!

It's a bittersweet day today; our last day at Washington Redskins Training Camp 2018. 

Hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips are here one last time from the grass here at the Bon Secours facility in Richmond VA. 

No fights today (unlike yesterday), which means we actually got a good look at the Redskins vs the New York Jets. Listen as we recap the days action including the play of the day by Alex Smith.

Because it's our last day at camp, Chad went around and spoke to over two dozen reporters out here covering the Redskins and asked them for their personal highlights from Training Camp, which was great fun. 

After that, we sit down with all three Special Teamers in Nick Sundberg, Dustin Hopkins, and Tress Way. They gave us a great look at a day in the life of the Specialists out here at Training Camp, and then we ran them through the RCC Teammate Trivia gauntlet! 

Tune in for all the laughs and all the learning that you've come to know and love from the Redskins Capital Connection podcast. 

FIGHT!

This felt inevitable, but most people were surprised how quickly the joint practices between the Washington Redskins and New York Jets degenerated into an all-out melee. 

And Redskins Capital Connection host Chad Ryan was right there in the middle of it - literally. The fight engulfed his beloved camp stool as 40 NFL players scrapped on top of it. So if you want the details for what happened, you'll find no better place than right here to get it!

Joining Chad on today's show are co-hosts Chip Brierre and Mark Phillips as we recorded the episode from a Buffalo Wild Wings downtown after the rain shut things down at the Bon Secours facility. 

We cover off day one of the joint practices and say our farewell's to Chip as today was his last day at camp.

Tune in and get caught up on all the action! 

Today was the last day that the Washington Redskins will take the field on their own for Training Camp 2018. Tomorrow, the New York Jets come to town for three days of joint practices, and with them will be a bunch of New York media and a lot more noise.

But fear not! Redskins Capital Connection is still here to guide you through all the madness and sadness that comes with being a Washington Redskins fan. 

Tune in to hear host Chad Ryan sound depressed as he talks with co-host Mark Phillips about the Derrius Guice injury... there's no sugar-coating it. It just sucks. 

But the show must go on and today we sit down with Chris Thompson, who explains why no one is better equipped to deal with this setback than his "little brother" Guice. Thompson also tells us about his off-season workout that has seen fans take notice of his new upper-body strength, as well as his plans for this season.

All of that and so much more on another episode of RCC. Check it out, and spread the word; tell your friends and co-workers in your life. RCC is one big family and we're always inviting more people to the table. 

The Washington Redskins hit the road for Preseason Week 1 against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, so Redskins Capital Connection hit the road as well. 

Literally. Today's episode was recorded in the car on the drive back to Boston after the game, with host Chad Ryan joined by special guest co-host Michael Phillips from the Richmond Times-Dispatch!

After going in to half time with a 17-3 lead, the Redskins ended up losing 26-17 after Colt McCoy left the game and Kevin Hogan took over. 

But the score wasn't the main story from tonight, with injury scares to key players such as Derrius Guice, Matt Ioannidis, and Trey Quinn. We've got the updates on all of those guys for you, with both Chad and Michael spending time in the Redskins locker room after the game getting it all from the horses mouth. 

Tune in and listen in to the fun as Michael gives you the tourist's guide to the highway from Foxborough to Boston as well. A lot of laughs on today's episode of RCC, so tune in and have fun!

Things are starting to get real interesting here at Washington Redskins Training Camp as today the players took to the field for the last time ahead of Thursday night's preseason opener against the New England Patriots at Foxborough. 

The players weren't in pads today as they went through what most resembles a regular season 'Friday practice', where it's a half-way point between a normal practice and a walkthrough. We got a good insight into which players will take the field on Thursday night and which players will be watching from the sidelines, as well as a good idea on what sort of game plan Jay Gruden will utilize. (Spoiler alert: vanilla). 

Hosts Chad Ryan and Chip Brierre were once again there every step of the way to bring you all of the action from Richmond, before Chad sat down 1 on 1 with rookie Running Back Derrius Guice for what was, unsurprisingly, a very entertaining and informative discussion! 

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

On a day that Jay Gruden referred to himself as a "genius" for switching practices to the morning, today's practice just finished in time before the rains once again started to fall heavily here in Richmond at Redskins Training Camp. 

But fear not; the Redskins Capital Connection crew of Chad Ryan, Mark Phillips, and Chip Brierre still managed to record today's podcast just in time before the facilities were closed off and everyone was herded inside to get out of the lightning. 

Multiple veterans didn't participate today due to a combination of scheduled rest days as well as minor injuries, which meant that practice was a little more reserved compared to previous days. With Preseason Week 1 against the New England Patriots coming later this week, you'll start to see some backups get a bit more work to prepare for the lions-share of gametime on Thursday night.

Also today, we sat down with rookie Defensive Lineman Tim Settle and talked to him about life at training camp, the benefits of being a local boy, and of course, we ran him through the RCC Teammate Trivia contest. Spoiler alert; Settle did very well for himself in this contest! But was it good enough to supplant Anthony Lanier II atop the leaderboard? You'll have to tune in to find out!

A hot and sweaty day of Washington Redskins Training Camp 2018 today as the players hit the field and put in work. 

DJ Swearinger & Jamison Crowder got a veteran day off today, which meant that Deshazor Everett and Trey Quinn stood up in their place. And today we also saw the single biggest hit we've seen at Training Camp this year!

Your hosts today are Chad Ryan, Mark Phillips and Chip Brierre and together we recap all the action for you to ensure that you don't miss a single thing!

Also today, we sat down with Mason Foster and had a fantastic discussion with the hard-nosed Middle Linebacker. Foster told us all about how he was pressuring Zach Brown to re-sign with the Redskins, about what makes them work so well as a tandem together, and exactly why he's a PUBG guy and not a Fortnite guy. 

All that and of course more on another episode of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast! Tell your friends, tell your family, and subscribe to us wherever you get podcasts!

Things went to a new level on the field today, just as Coach Jay Gruden promised they would.

Here on day nine of Redskins Training Camp 2018, it was fan appreciation day which meant that the crowds were big and the energy levels were high, and the players responded in kind! 

The hits were bigger than we've seen at Training Camp in years, and the trash talk matched that intensity.

And as always, Redskins Capital Connection was there for every moment of it!

Today's hosts Chad Ryan and Robbie Duncan recap all the action, including having a disagreement on whether or not the Offense or the Defense were the victors today! 

Then we sit down with WR Jamison Crowder who finally settles the issue of how Chad pronounces his name once and for all. We then run him through the RCC Teammate Trivia gauntlet, so tune in to see how he went!

The Redskins Capital Connection podcast can be found everywhere you subscribe to podcasts; iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, and lots lots more!

After some thankfully uneventful days of Training Camp, day six here in Richmond VA saw a flurry of activity. 

And as always, Redskins Capital Connection was here every step of the way to bring you all the action. 

Hosts Chad Ryan and Chip Brierre recap the shoulder injury to Josh Doctson, the on-field action today that saw Paul Richardson make not one, not two, but three highlight catches, and then we also had the official retirement of Redskins legend DeAngelo Hall at the podium after practice. 

If that's not enough Redskins content for you, then you'll be pleased to know that we also sit down with second year Tight End Jeremy Sprinkle, who was a fantastic interview and provided some great laughs and also great football insight. And as always, we ran him through the RCC Teammate Trivia which is fast becoming one of the biggest storylines of camp among the players! It's getting competitive.

If that all sounds like a lot, worry not! RCC sorts the wheat from the chaff and brings you everything you need!
