One of the big debates raging about the Redskins potential roster is whether or not to keep 3 QB’s on the active roster. Here are 10 reasons why we should expect to see Colt McCoy on the Redskins roster come week 1. 1. Robert Griffin III is one of the bigger injury risks among starting … More »

With week 1 of preseason in the books it is time to breakdown how some of the Redskins position battles are shaping up. Today I will look at the running back battle, breaking down how many they will keep and looking at who should get those roster spots. I talked about the position in my … More »

QB (3): Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins, Colt McCoy -Obviously there is no surprise with having RGIII and Cousins on this list, but some would probably question the inclusion of Colt McCoy. The Redskins would be wise to keep a 3rd QB, both for insurance purposes and just having a guy who has a little … More »

Garcon tweaked his hamstring the other day in practice and DeSean Jackson left today’s joint walkthrough … More »

While some might try to point to his drop of nearly 350 yards of production from his rookie year to 2nd season, that had … More »
