Here are how the Redskins and Texans stack up at each position group. Quarterback: -The Redskins are hoping that 2013 was just a blip on the radar of Robert Griffin III’s career and that he can return to the potential and production that not only made him the 2nd player in the 2012 draft, but … More »

Here are 10 Thoughts on the Redskins: 1. Redskins are making a bold call on RB Lache Seastrunk: -The move that is getting the most scrutiny is the Redskins decision with Seastrunk.
