Fanspeak: Washington Commanders

The Redskins cuts won’t be finalized for over an hour and even then things could change with them possibly claiming a player or two off of waivers, but I wanted to touch on a couple things that have stood out from the cuts so far: Keeping Just 3 Running backs: -While much of the focus … More »

With reports out of Buffalo that the Bills are looking to trade former starting guard Kraig Urbik before they have to finalize their roster today, the Redskins should be on their phones trying to acquire the Buffalo interior lineman. Urbik has fallen out of favor with the Bills coaching staff and has lost his starting … More »

Quarterbacks: 3 – Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins, Colt McCoy -I don’t see how the Redskins can go with only two QB’s. Between the Griffin injury risk, and wanting to have another arm in practice it just makes too much sense to go with 3 QB’s. Running backs: 4 – Alfred Morris, Roy Helu Jr., … More »

OLB Trent Murphy: -Murphy saw some extended work in the 3rd preseason game with Brian Orakpo leaving the game early with a minor injury. Murphy took advantage of Orakpo’s absence and had a nice game rushing the passer, getting 1 sack and another really nice pressure. Up until this point Murphy’s contributions in the pass … More »

1. CB Chase Minnifield– -In my latest 53 man roster prediction I have the Redskins keeping only 5 corners meaning that Minnifield is on the outside looking in for a roster spot right now.

So McCoy stays with the Redskins and offers them a … More »

Much of the hype surrounding the Washington Redskins and their potential for success this season has surrounded the offense and their ability to put up points this season. Through three preseason games the first team offense failed to score a touchdown and consistently found ways to shoot themselves in the foot, with mental errors, turnovers … More »

The Redskins need to make 14 cuts before Tuesday’s deadline to get down to a 75 man roster for their final preseason game. Here are the 14 guys I see most likely on the initial chopping block: 1. WR Lee Doss 2. WR Rashard Lawrence 3. WR Cody Hoffman 4. OL Kevin Kowalski 5. TE … More »

Offense: 1. Can the starting offense move the ball consistently and finish drives? -The starting offense has moved the ball pretty well (though benefited somewhat by penalties), but they really struggled to finish drives versus the Browns who look to be a pretty good defense this year. The Ravens represent another good test so how … More »

Yesterday I took a look at the 5 players who have shown the most growth so far this year. Today I will look at the other side of the equation at 5 returning players who have struggled so far this preseason. 1. Chris Chester– -Despite being a major issue the past couple seasons, the Redskins … More »
