Fanspeak: Washington Commanders

Round 1: OT/G Brandon Scherff: Pro: Fills a major need along the offensive line and was probably the top offensive lineman in the draft. Con: The Redskins had to pass on two potentially elite defensive players in Leonard Williams and Vic Beasley, who both could have filled major needs. Thoughts: -This is a good pick … More »

1- If the Redskins stay at the fifth spot they will absolutely have an opportunity to select someone who can step in immediately to help. One of those reasons is obvious.  The talent is just not that great on this roster at spots where some of the projected talent will be available.  You know the … 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 »

The NFL schedule was released last night so now we know exactly when the Redskins are facing each of their opponents. While I will do a schedule prediction later, I thought it would be good to look at why the Redskins can win or lose each game. Week 1: Miami Dolphins: Why the Redskins will … More »

Wanna know why the Redskins have been bad for twenty years?  Just check their draft history page on wikipedia.  Here are some of the embarrassing highlights in order of least to worst in my opinion.  Please help us Scot McCloughan!  I got 11 because I couldn’t cut to 10. Note:  I eliminated the last three … More »

It’s no secret that the Washington Redskins are open to trading the 5th overall pick in the NFL Draft to move down and stockpile picks as they look to start their rebuilding efforts, the only question is will they have a partner willing to jump up to make the deal? While anything can happen on … More »

For a couple years now the Redskins have been rumored to be attempting to trade QB Kirk Cousins but haven’t yet.  Also now Robert Griffin III has to be available for the taking if a deal was out there.  I just don’t think the return value is there and here is why. Teams you can … 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 »

1- News of the week is what everyone is calling “Getting the band back together” in reference to the resigning of Colt McCoy. I did like the Drive’s idea of making it easier by calling the three something like Colt McCousins III.  What does signing McCoy mean for the Redskins QB situation?  According to Gruden it … More »
