Fanspeak: Washington Commanders

OLB Trent Murphy: -Murphy surprisingly played on just 25 snaps in Thursday’s game. Granted he is a lock to both make the team and in his role as the 3rd OLB/extra rusher, but it would have been a nice chance to get him some extra work and have him work on things. Murphy showed up … More »

I’m going to split my things to watch in the game tonight into 3 offensive things, 3 defensive things and 1 special teams: Offensive Things to Watch: 1. How does the starting Offensive Line Look: -The Redskins signed Shaun Lauvao in the offseason and moved Kory Lichtensteiger to center, but otherwise this is the same … More »

When the Redskins open up their preseason tonight they will be without their free agent veteran free safety, Ryan Clark and 2nd year pro Phillip Thomas, who was expected to be the 3rd safety on this team. Both Clark and Thomas are out with hamstring injuries which have kept them out of practice the past … More »

The Redskins first unofficial depth chart lists Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson (to the surprise of no one) as the starting wide receivers, but it seems like both will be unavailable for Thursday night’s opening preseason game versus the Patriots.

That continued to be the case last season despite strong years from Brian Orakpo, Ryan Kerrigan, Barry Cofield and DeAngelo Hall. The problem was that while those four players played … More »

Starters: Alfred Morris, Darrel Young -In two seasons Alfred Morris has amassed 2,888 yards and 20 TD’s, and has been one of the best backs in the league during this time. While some might try to point to his drop of nearly 350 yards of production from his rookie year to 2nd season, that had … More »

Starter: Jordan Reed -When Jordan Reed was on the field last year he showed himself to be the best rookie tight end in the league, and the potential to be considered a top 10 pass catching tight end. Despite the Redskins offensive woes last season, Reed consistently made big plays, and was becoming a real … More »

Up until the surprise signing of Wide Receiver DeSean Jackson, the Redskins major free agent acquisition was Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jason Hatcher. Hatcher was coming off an 11 sack season with the Dallas Cowboys and the hope was that he could add a penetrating threat along the defensive line that could help open up … More »

As Training Camp is about to start, now is a good time to take a look at where the Redskins roster stands and how strong it is at each position heading into the season. First up Quarterbacks: Starter: Robert Griffin III -RGIII’s sophomore season was a year to forget, for both the team and it’s … More »
