Fanspeak: Redskins Personnel

1.  Philadelphia Eagles     It is tough to argue why I could like the Redskins better than a team that won a zillion more games than them last season but I have a couple reasons why. First, these teams were in the exact opposite spots at this time last season most will forget.  Nick … More »

While the Redskins have added some nice starters in free agency this offseason, just as important has been their ability to improve their talent level at the roster spots 23-50* (some of their depth signings may need to end up starting depending on what they do in the draft). One of the biggest issues with … More »

While I’m not the biggest fan of the DeSean Jackson signing as there is little correlation between the talent of a team’s receiver corps and their record, there is one big upside to signing DeSean Jackson, now the Redskins won’t use a high draft pick on a wide receiver. Even after the signing of Andre … More »

There is no question that new Redskins WR is a playmaker and a dynamic threat that can help make the Redskins offense more dangerous. There is also little doubt that this addition gives RGIII all the weapons that he needs to put up big numbers. The question is though is it the right move for … More »

There has been a lot of talk since the hiring of Jay Gruden that the Redskins will be more of a passing team and use 3 and 4 WR sets more under their new head coach. The idea is that Jay Gruden didn’t use a fullback in Cincinnati and that led to the use of … More »

By John Manuel What I like. 1- I did like the signing of Jason Hatcher to improve the defensive line play. There was an obvious need here to help add pressure to opposing quarterbacks. Since both outside linebackers are set in stone the Redskins needed to get help up front. Hatcher forced quarterbacks to hurry … More »

The Redskins interest in former Titans 1st round pick Kenny Britt is well documented and it has become a hot topic for fans and the media. While there is a strong push to sign Britt, it would likely end up to be a major mistake for the Redskins and would be a move that has … More »

By: Justin Partlow   Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen the Redskins prioritize the defense and how it needed to be fixed after last year. So far we’ve seen the Redskins franchise Brian Orakpo, re-sign Perry Riley, Chris Baker and DeAngelo Hall and add veterans such as Daryl Sharpton, Adam Hayward, Tracy Porter, and … More »
