Merry Christmas and happy holidays Redskins fans.

Here's hoping Santa didn't leave you a DJ Swearinger jersey under the tree this year, and here's hoping that you haven't been holding your breath for one of these Redskins Capital Connection podcasts because you probably realized we skipped last week's show.

Our bad, but in the lead up to Christmas things got a little crazy, with work, with life, and with travelling back home to tell friends and family that host Chad Ryan and his wife are expecting their first child next year!

So please forgive us for that missed week, but we are back with aplomb this week and just in time... because man, this team is the nightmare that doesn't end.

And yeah, we'll talk about it.

Kareem Copeland (from the Washington Post) joins Chad as well as co-host Mark Phillips to recap the fallout from the waiving of Swearinger, as well as another season where the Redskins are going to miss the playoffs. Is it the culture? Is it a lack of leadership? Or is it just plain bad luck?

Let's try and figure it out together. 

Sigh.

Things seemed so good such a short time ago, but a few bad losses and then one especially bad loss this past Sunday against the New York Giants, and it has quickly unraveled. 

There's literally so much drama around this team right now that hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips had to make an itemized list just to cover it all with today's guest Michael Phillips from the Richmond Times-Dispatch (no relation). 

That list includes;

• Mark Sanchez's long storied career as the Redskins starter is over
• The Redskins will start a 4th QB in the same season for the first time ever
• Mason Foster drama and confusion on social media
• Zach Brown's comments about his future with the team
• Bruce Allen's job security, and then being linked, then not linked, to Oakland
• Jay Gruden's job security
• Derrius Guice news finally broke about his set backs in his rehab, (but he's fine now)
• Josh Doctson is in the concussion protocol
• Basically every OL player is listed on the injury report
• Oh yeah, and the Redskins were down 40-0 against the putrid New York Giants

Warning; there are some swear words on today's episode. 

Alright Washington Redskins fans; we're definitely in troubled waters right now, but the goal of today's episode of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast is to figure out if these troubled waters are uncharted, or is this somehow familiar territory?

We've actually got a good show for you today, in somewhat stark contrast to what you all probably witnessed on Monday Night Football against the Eagles.

Joining hosts Chad Ryan and Mark Phillips is the most trusted voice covering the Washington Redskins - ESPN's John Keim, making his long-awaited RCC debut. 

Together they do a bit of a pulse-check on this organization and try and figure out if the perception of doom-and-gloom that seems to be surrounding this 6-6 team at present is warranted, or just weird. 

The conversation then turns to Mark Sanchez, whose starting role in this week's upcoming game vs the New York Giants will represent only the third time in 20 years that the Redskins have started three different Quarterbacks in the same season. 

All of that and so much more on today's episode of the Redskins Capital Connection! 

The Robs are back!

The On the Warpath hosts Robbie Duncan (Former D1 offensive lineman, now OL film guru) and Rob Henson (Former Washington Redskins Linebacker) return from a long break to bring you their thoughts on a wide-range of Redskins issues.

Together they cover the Reuben Foster situation and the Kareem Hunt video and the impact it has on the Redskins and the NFL.

They also share their thoughts on Alex Smith and how he played before his major injury, and how they predict the rest of the season will play out, including Monday's pivotal game vs the Eagles.

It's good to be home!
