Fanspeak: Redskins Offseason

1- I am really tired of the debate over the Redskins name. The sad part is I can understand the argument both sides are making on it.  I think the Redskins and mainly Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen have done a horrific job defending the use of the name.  But we could talk about that … More »

1- I wonder with the release of Chris Chester what the Redskins plans are for at right guard.  Being that the team really has issues at both guard spots this could be a critical situation in camp next month. We here that Bill Callahan likes what he sees in Josh LeRibeus so far.  I ain’t … More »

1. Sack Rate: -The Redskins team sack rate of 9.6% was tied for 30th in the league last year, and an absolute killer for this offense in general. The number was brought up by Kirk Cousins 3.8%, as Robert Griffin had an off the charts 13.4% and Colt McCoy was only slightly better at 11.7%. … More »

This offseason the Redskins made major additions to the defensive side of the ball with a mix of free agent signings and the draft. They added projected starters Defensive linemen Stephen Paea and Terrence Knighton, OLB Preston Smith and defensive backs Chris Culliver and Dashon Goldson. Also they brought in safety Jeron Johnson who is … More »

Last week I laid out a few factors how the Redskins could improve from the dismal 2014 campaign and possibly contend in the NFC East.  This week I look at the counterpoint and what could cause the Skins to potentially be drafting 1 or 2 next Spring. 1- Coaches are way in over their head. I … More »

A few weeks ago I picked another losing season for this Redskins bunch and I still believe that, but here are some points of optimism I have a few months before real training camp begins. 1- I think a lot of people in football liked Chris Forrester and I guess so did the Niners because … More »

Redskins 2015 schedule predictions.  95% chance it plays out way different than below! Week 1 – Miami Dolphins The Dolphins will be coming into the season looking to make the move to being a playoff team.  Money spent but still having a coach under fire.  Miami may be a better team but this is one … More »

1- The schedule release was the major news of the past week. In the next week or so I will give my full win/loss breakdown of each game, which is way too early to call.  I think last year at this time I had like 10-6.  So take it for what that is worth.  Opening … More »

LIKES: -Overall I am very encouraged by what the Redskins did in free agency during Scott McCloughan’s first go around.  Although it is way overplayed how the Redskins spend Yankees-like money usually in free agency since it hasn’t been like that in at least five years, I like the safe spending methods.  There is nothing … More »

1- Boring week when it comes to signings because there were none of note. The Redskins did lose two former defensive linemen in Stephen Bowen and Jarvis Jenkins though.  Neither leaving is a surprise since the team went all out on the defensive line in free agency by signing Knighton, Paea and Francois earlier. Jenkins … More »
