Fanspeak: Washington Commanders

*Players are listed in no set order 1. ILB Max Bullough, Michigan State (West): Projected Rd: 4th -Bullough would be a good 2nd tier option to help the Redskins incredibly thin ILB position. He’s not the most athletically gifted player, but he’s smart and should be able to start early in his career if you … More »

One of the Redskins many offseason needs this season is to upgrade their receiving corps, and give Robert Griffin III more weapons to work with. The question isn’t should the Redskins upgrade their receivers, but rather how much should they invest in the position. Receiver is one of the more overhyped, and low impact positions … More »

Since Mike Shanahan was fired the day after the season ended there has been very little to get excited about.  I had no problems with Mike Shanahan not coming back for 2014 mainly because it was at a point where he couldn’t.  So he is gone and time to move on. BRUCE ALLEN:     … More »

There is little doubt that the Redskins return game last year needs a complete overhaul after averaging 6.4 yards per punt return (28th in the league) and 20 yards per kick return (tied for worst in the league).

With the Redskins hiring of Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden, it is likely they might have an interest in some of his former players as they hit free agency this year. Here are 5 of the most likely candidates to be wearing Burgundy and Gold next year: 1. T Anthony Collins: -Collins has been the … More »

The writing was on the wall for Jay Gruden to be the Redskins next head coach. Between his ties to Bruce Allen, who was his G.M. when he was on his brother John’s staff in Tampa, to the coaches the Redskins retained who had previously worked with Jay Gruden (Jim Haslett, Raheem Morris and Sean … More »

Why The Redskins want him: Fangio is one of the top defensive coordinators in the game and has learned from some of the best defensive minds, which makes him an intriguing candidate to help fix the Redskins woeful defense. Fangio got his professional start under Jim Mora Sr. with the Philadelphia Stars of the USFL … More »

Perhaps the biggest failure of the Mike Shanahan era (sad to say there are a number of contenders for this title), was his decision to move the Redskins from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4 team. It’s not so much that the 3-4 is a bad defense as many top teams still employ a version … More »
