Fanspeak: Washington Commanders

1. Protect Colt McCoy: -The Redskins will be trotting out their 3rd QB of the year to try to win this rivalry game on the road. It’s not going to be easy and if they don’t keep a clean pocket for McCoy it could get ugly fast. Now hopefully replacing Tyler Polumbus for Tom Compton … More »

While it is true that the NFL trade deadline is not as big of an event as the trade deadline’s in the other 3 major sports which see a flurry of activity, the NFL trade deadline will likely see a couple more deals. Teams like the Redskins who are basically out of contention right now, … More »

1.  Dez Bryant breaks his ankle on the first play from scrimmage. Seriously, I don’t think the Redskins can win against Dallas on Monday.  And it is not because I think the Cowboys are invincible I just don’t like this matchup since DeAngelo Hall will not be there.  Dez should destroy the Skins secondary without … More »

1. What the Redskins win means: -The number one thing this win means for the Redskins is in terms of confidence boosting for this team. They had lost four straight games and were embarrassed they last time they were on their home field, so the Redskins were desperate for something positive to come out of … More »

1. Run the football at least 25 times a game: -Honestly I’d love to see this number be more like 35 or 40, but I’ll take baby steps here with at least getting up to 25 rushing attempts. The Redskins are a better running team than a passing team, and that is even with the … More »

1. Drafting Josh LeRibeus in the third round and still being a backup in year three. I am not a draft expert but it happens often that teams miss in round three of the draft.  The problem I have is I don’t think you can afford to miss in round three on interior offensive line … More »

1. The Redskins are a bad football team: -If the 1-5 record with the only win against a hapless Jaguars team wasn’t proof enough. Watching the Redskins week-in-week-out it is very clear that this team just lacks talent and their coaching staff isn’t getting the most out of the talent that they do have. The … More »

1. Bottle up Andre Ellington: -The Redskins run defense has been pretty good this year, but we’ve seen some signs of cracks. Ellington presents a fast back who the Cardinals will probably look to rely on given their QB situation right now. If they can get Ellington going and stay in 3rd and short situations … More »

The Redskins knew their secondary was going to be a work in progress this season, but the hope was they would be able to cobble together a unit that was at least average on the back-end. At corner the Redskins hoped to mix veterans DeAngelo Hall and Tracy Porter with youngsters David Amerson and Bashaud … More »

1. The Redskins fought hard to the end: -I know people don’t like to hear the term “moral victory”, but the Redskins did get something out of their loss to the Seahawks Monday night. Yes it’s still a loss on their record, but they didn’t give up, which they so easily could have done. Most … More »
