1. Run the Football: -Last week Alfred Morris and Roy Helu Jr. ran all over the Texans in their 18 combined opportunities. The Redskins need to get them in the 30-35 carry range this week as this is clearly the strength of the Redskins offense right now. This has to be a bigger part of … More »

Here’s a break down of how the Redskins and Jaguars match-up at each position. Quarterback: Redskins:  –Robert Griffin III didn’t have a great opening game versus the Houston Texans, but he didn’t exactly have a bad game either.
