Fanspeak: Redskins Personnel

Nothing on Robert Griffin this week.  I need a break. 1- One of the things that concerned me coming out of the Combine is that many analysts see the safety position pretty weak at the top after Alabama’s Landon Collins. And taking Collins at number five sounds way too high when better impact players will … More »

Here are my thoughts on the Shanny interview which has taken over DC.  All based on believing him of course. – Finding out he couldn’t stop the McNabb trade scared me and scares me for the future. Wasn’t he supposed to have had full control of decisions?  Guess not.  Shocked he lasted two more seasons … More »

I went through and did some cap management using the Manage the Cap app. First up I made a list of guys that should out right be cut.  Some of them save a lot of money and some of them just need to go unfortunately.  Sadly a couple guys have been solid contributors in the past but this … More »

The Redskins are a team with limited talent but has a lot of money invested into one position.   Washington has invested heavily into two starters in Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson and larger than normal in a third receiver in Andre Roberts.  Although Washington is not in any kind of salary cap problems it is … More »

1- A lot was made about our favorite player this week.  Robert Griffin III was back in the news for a couple reasons.      Again, I still believe once camp starts he will not be on this roster.  Chris Cooley disagrees and thinks he will be the starter for sure and will have to … More »

1. Raheem Morris is gone and Perry Fewell is in. I think I like this move mainly because the secondary hasn’t worked the past few seasons.  Fewell struggled in the end in New York before being fired but now he can concentrate on making the Redskins young corners better.  Something Morris didn’t do with a … More »

The search started with a big letdown when it was reported Joe Barry is the new defensive coordinator.  But then a day or two went by and it was not official.  Then we got Vic Fangio to Ashburn and the world was once again right.  Until Tuesday when we were all crushed again when Fangio ended up … More »

The draft will actually be a part of this organization.            Shanny tried to use the draft unlike Gibbs, Cerrato, Zorn, Snyder but the Griffin trade crushed him.  Whoever you think was behind that.  But we know McCloughan will keep and probably look to add picks.  He did in his past … More »

1. They could have sent comedian Bruce Bruce up there instead of Bruce Allen and we could have gotten more info on this team and the future. (also there is a chance he would be a better GM) 2. I thought it was odd he started by saying its only been 72 hours since they … More »

1. Griffin played one of his better games of the last two seasons: It wasn’t perhaps his best statistical game of the last two seasons, but Griffin had one of his better all-around games since the 2012 season. While Griffin didn’t light up the stat sheet the most important thing is he didn’t make the … More »
