Fanspeak: Washington Commanders

1. Don’t turn the ball over: -Turnovers have been an issue all year, but typically it had been 2 or 3 a game. That’s bad enough, but last week the Redskins had 7 turnovers and basically handed the game to the Falcons. That is completely unacceptable and can’t come close to happening if the Redskins … More »

Why the Redskins want him: Tom Clements has a long and distinguished track record, including both his playing career and coaching career. There is probably no candidate out there that knows quarterbacks better and understands how to get the most out of them. In terms of giving Robert Griffin III the best chance to succeed … More »

By Staff Writers John Manuel & Steve Shoup: Discussing the Washington Redskins right now is not very difficult.  Each week gives us two things, a loss and more controversy to debate.  Let’s look at the quarterback situation for the Redskins currently and in the future.  Right now it is Kirk Cousins job to finish up … More »

Note: Kirk Cousins is an obvious choice so this is 5 guys outside of Cousins. WR Aldrick Robinson: -Robinson is set to be an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, meaning that if the Redskins want him back he’s not going anywhere. Now the Redskins should at least bring him to camp even with a … More »

This has been a rough season for the Redskins and have seen a number of players regress and under-perform, but this season isn’t without positives for the Redskins. Here are the 8 biggest positives the Redskins can build on for next year: 1. Alfred Morris is a stud: -Morris is proving he’s a franchise running … More »

The Good: Kirk Cousins threw for 381 yards and 3 TD’s on 29 of 45 passing. That equals a nice 64.4% completion rate and an 8.46 yards per attempt average. Though many may point to the fact that Cousins put up these numbers against a bad Atlanta Falcons defense, Cousins went into their house and … More »

1. Let Kirk be Kirk: Much of the offense we’ve seen has been based around Robert Griffin‘s strengths, with quick passing, read option plays and QB runs, that isn’t Cousins game and it shouldn’t be anywhere near the focus of the game plan. Now maybe you use it a little to keep the defense honest, … More »

Yesterday’s report on the Redskins owner Daniel Snyder,and his feelings on the RGIII benching, included this nugget: It is believed Shanahan would have to be paid for the rest of his contract if he’s fired. The same is true of Shanahan’s assistants, and multiple people close to the matter said for now Snyder does not … More »

I am a big fan of Bruce Allen and believe he should stay in this organization, and take on the role of team president. This would open up the G.M. job to a guy with a background in scouting, which is an area this team is lacking. Tom Gamble is one of the hottest front … More »

Why the Redskins want him:     Ray Horton was passed over for the Arizona Cardinals job this past season after he had been their defensive coordinator for the past two seasons. Horton moved on to the Cleveland Browns this past season and took over their defensive coordinator job. Horton has earned the rep as … More »
