Fanspeak: Washington Commanders

With the Redskins currently sitting at 3-6 and tied for last place in the division (technically the Giants hold the tie breaker over us), the Redskins need to start asking if it is time to make lineup moves. Not only could it improve the product on the field for the final 7 weeks this season, … More »

A debate is starting among Redskins fans about whether or not Mike Shanahan deserves to come back for a 5th season next year. While there are arguments to be made for both sides, one thing that gets typically brought up is how the Redskins are in a better position in the league. Unfortunately there doesn’t … More »

The Redskins are sitting at 3-6 right now and while not out of the division things aren’t looking too promising going forward. The Redskins would need at least 9 wins to have a legitimate playoff shot this year, meaning they’d have to go 6-1 down the stretch. It’s not impossible, but it is definitely improbable … More »

Last year the Redskins went into their bye week sitting at 3-6 and it looked like their season was all but over. After the bye they went on a 7 game run that put them atop the division and gave them their first home playoff game in over a decade. This year the Redskins are … More »

Defensive Line: C -Barry Cofield is having a really good season, particularly against the pass. Cofield has a number of key pressures and has made some really big plays in key situations. Cofield’s run defense is much more inconsistent, but has been better since getting the cast removed after week 2. The rest of the … More »

Quarterbacks: C -Look you have to grade on a curve somewhat, but the fact is the production just isn’t there for Robert Griffin III. Yes his overall yardage is pretty good (11th in the NFL), but too much of that is still garbage time work. If you look at the various rankings that quarterbacks are … More »

  1. The Special Teams Remain a Thorn in the Redskins Side: -Well the good news is they didn’t give up a touchdown, but special teams still cost the Redskins points as they had two field goals blocked. Not only are blocked field goals extremely rare, but the Chargers hadn’t blocked a field goal in … More »

1. Pressure Philip Rivers: -Like most quarterbacks Rivers doesn’t respond well to pressure, but it is maybe even a bit more pronounced with him. Looking at Rivers history you can see this to be the case. In 2010 the Chargers were just completely unlucky with their injuries among their skill guys. Vincent Jackson missed most … More »
