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 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.

Since both outside linebackers are set in stone the Redskins needed to get help up front. Hatcher forced quarterbacks to hurry … More »

Part 1: Offense | Part 2: Defense DL: Alex Carrington, Pat Sims, Terrence Cody, Ryan Pickett, Colin Cole, Brett Kiesel, Aubrayo Franklin, Issac Soponga -The Redskins have already added Jason Hatcher and Clinton Geathers in free agency and re-signed Chris Baker. The Redskins are likely to look to add anymore defensive linemen in the draft, … More »

The Redskins entered the offseason with their top defensive player, OLB Brian Orakpo, poised to hit unrestricted free agency, and two other solid starters CB DeAngelo Hall (who was coming off his best season) and ILB Perry Riley set to join him.
