Fanspeak: Redskins Personnel

Forbath came on last season and had a great run for the Redskins making his first 17 field goals of the season. His clutch kicking helped them win their first division title since 1999, as they went on a 7 game run to close out the season. While it was exciting to have a quality … More »

The Redskins have a massive free agency class this year and will be bringing in a new staff which typically means a house cleaning is on the horizon. How many current Redskins (either on the active roster or reserve lists) do you think will be back next year? The number could be surprising. Here are … More »

Why the Redskins want him? Now most people aren’t going to get too excited for a Special Teams Coordinator becoming the next Redskins head coach, but Dave Toub is no ordinary special teams coach. Toub has been considered one of the top Special Teams Coordinators in the league for some time now, and has a … More »

1. Hire a new personnel guy: -Now this typically is your G.M., but Bruce Allen currently has that title but doesn’t make the personnel decisions for this team. That role has gone to Mike Shanahan and it’s blown up in the Redskins face.  The Redskins need to get a new guy in there (who is … More »

1. Don’t turn the ball over: -Turnovers have been an issue all year, but typically it had been 2 or 3 a game. That’s bad enough, but last week the Redskins had 7 turnovers and basically handed the game to the Falcons. That is completely unacceptable and can’t come close to happening if the Redskins … More »

Why the Redskins want him: Tom Clements has a long and distinguished track record, including both his playing career and coaching career. There is probably no candidate out there that knows quarterbacks better and understands how to get the most out of them. In terms of giving Robert Griffin III the best chance to succeed … More »

Here are the 8 biggest positives the Redskins can build on for next year: 1. Alfred Morris is a stud: -Morris is proving he’s a franchise running … More »

The Good: Kirk Cousins threw for 381 yards and 3 TD’s on 29 of 45 passing. That equals a nice 64.4% completion rate and an 8.46 yards per attempt average. Though many may point to the fact that Cousins put up these numbers against a bad Atlanta Falcons defense, Cousins went into their house and … More »

1. Let Kirk be Kirk: Much of the offense we’ve seen has been based around Robert Griffin‘s strengths, with quick passing, read option plays and QB runs, that isn’t Cousins game and it shouldn’t be anywhere near the focus of the game plan. Now maybe you use it a little to keep the defense honest, … More »
