Fanspeak: Washington Commanders

More and more I get concerned that Kirk Cousins is done getting chances with the Redskins.  The off season started looking like Cousins would get a shot at the starting job once camp started but that seems to have changed.  Now he is in a battle but for the backup job.  This would be crazy … 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 »

1- Once again the Redskins took the practice field and once again Jordan Reed did not take part. Reed in his rookie season showed a lot of promise to become a big time offensive weapon.  But lingering injuries and just downright being fragile has left the Redskins still with a hole at tight end.  I … More »

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 »

Quarterback: (3) Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins, Colt McCoy -This group should all be back, with Griffin taking back over the starting role. Though Griffin is penciled in as the starter, both Cousins and McCoy are there for insurance in case his struggles continue or another serious injury occurs. Given those concerns it’s pretty much … More »

With the main part of free agency done and the draft now completed the Redskins depth chart has begun to take shape. Here’s how each pick could effect the Redskins depth chart. 1.
