Burgundy Blogcast

Atlanta's dynamic aerial assault overwhelmed the Redskins' defense, and Alex Smith again proved unwilling or unable to shoot it out. The Redskins have some serious work to do if they intend to keep their division lead for long.

Most expected a quiet trade deadline for the Redskins, but they made a surprise power-move for an impact defender. I like it.

The Redskins extended their winning streak to three games, on the backs of the ageless Adrian Peterson and some young, studly defensive linemen.

The Redskins--flawed but functional--did just enough to edge the Panthers and retain a slim division lead. This is the 100th episode of Burgundy Blogcast!

A funny thing happened to me during the second quarter of the third game of the Redskins' regular season: I found my give-a-damn.

The Redskins played a football game! Kind of! Brent chatted with Twitter buddy and hardcore Skins fan Ben Ceccarelli (@Piketoon) about the best and worst parts of the team's first exhibition of 2018.

Training camp is almost upon us so I'm uploading a few final offseason takes. Examining the supplemental draft selection of Adonis Alexander. Interpreting the Kirk Cousins feature in Bleacher Report. Two surprising stats on Paul Richardson. A dirty little DB secret.

It's the super-dead portion of the NFL offseason but Brent wants to talk Redskins anyway. First impressions of all eight draft picks after OTAs and mini-camp. Jay Gruden's job security. Which position group could the Skins still stand to bolster in free agency? Which group is already better than many think?

A thorough perspective on the key individuals and greater philosophy of the Redskins' 2018 draft class. Introducing Reach Criteria for grading picks.

In the compelling first round of the 2018 Draft, the Redskins lucked out when my favorite prospect Derwin James fell right into their collective lap, but they squandered this happy accident and picked Da'Ron Payne instead. Colin and I sort through our mixed emotions.

Colin joins the Blogcast again for some final pre-draft ruminations. We share our hopes, dreams, and expectations for Round 1, and debate the value of Derrius Guice. Then a few early impressions of the 2018 schedule, and finally some hearty laughs at the expense of Bruce "The Snake" Allen.

Listing and explaining my 13 favorite prospects for the Redskins at #13 in the first round of the upcoming draft, in ascending order of awesomeness.

My intellectual buddy Colin joins the Blogcast again to help me break down several recent goings-on in the Redskins universe. We touched on Bruce Allen's comments at the league meetings in Orlando, our mutual inner deadness after UVA's ghastly tournament loss, some key moves the Skins did (and didn't) make in early free agency, our current draft crushes, and a few implications of the Su'a Cravens...

Free agency is (technically) only a few hours old, but there are plenty of Redskins roster moves and non-moves to discuss. Is Paul Richardson the answer at receiver? Should the Skins have ponied up for Bashaud Breeland? Who the heck is still left? Please keep in mind that NFL free agency is rarely what it seems.

The Blogcast welcomes one of my best and smartest friends, and a veteran Redskins fan, Colin, from Richmond. How will Alex compare to Kirk? Is there enough reason to tag Kirk beyond spite? Also more recs for free agency and the draft, and a thought about Junior Galette.

A quick lil' solo sesh to mention the few free agents I'm most interested in for the Redskins at every position.

Brent and Hayes are finally back to kick off the fourth action-packed season of Burgundy Blogcast. We cover some implications of the big QB trade and the neverending Cuz Condundrum. Some philosophy on leverage and negotiating. Will the Redskins welcome back a prodigal son? Brent's audio is distorted and creepy, but hey, it's the offseason, and this is free.

The Redskins have a new QB, and the Cuz Conundrum is no more. Brent breaks down the trade that changes everything.

Scot McCloughan just said of Kirk Cousins, "I don't see special." Is it news, and should we care?

Divisional Round. Solo session from Vietnam. How have these playoffs impacted Kirk Cousins's future?

Wildcard Weekend. Cuz charity interview event. We don't need a Redskins game to talk about the Redskins.

Week 17: Redskins lose to Giants. Brent and Hayes lower the curtain after the pathetic conclusion to a brutal 2017.

Week 16: Redskins defeat Broncos. A few comments on the game and a stubborn thought about Cuz's future.

Week 15: Redskins defeat Cardinals. Brent and Hayes go through the motions.

Week 14: Redskins lose to Chargers. Brent rages. Hayes makes fun of Brent.
