Fanspeak: Washington Commanders

Though the Redskins won the Bears game they still saw some major issues that almost lost the game for them.  Here are 5 things that went wrong that the Redskins need to get a handle on. 1. Special Teams: -One could do a “5 Issues on Special Teams from the Bears Game” post, but I’ll … More »

By Guest Writer Scott Eastment: Filing out of FedEx Field Sunday afternoon, Washington Redskins fans had to feel like they had a new lease on life after their football team edged out a gritty 45-41 win over the Chicago Bears. The big win yesterday meant that the Redskins held their heads above water in a … More »

With the suspension to Brandon Meriweather the Redskins will have an open roster spot for the next two weeks. For the most part I’d use it on a safety considering just how thin that position is. Here are some of the top options (in no particular order): 1. Sign Chase Minnifield off the Practice Squad: -Now this would be … More »

The Redskins are 5 games into their season and sit at 1-4. A lot of things have contributed to this poor start, but one of the most glaring issues has been the play (or lack thereof) of the Special Teams units. The Redskins let long time special teams coach Danny Smith leave to take the … More »

Time to debate the big man and the discussion of his future and more importantly the eventual decision will affect the franchise.  Mike Shanahan is in the fourth year of a five year contract, which once again like last year when the Redskins were at 3-6, puts us into the debate on whether or not … More »

The Redskins are 5 games in their 2013 season, and so far they haven’t gotten a lot of production out of their rookie class. Now that isn’t terribly surprising considering the Redskins didn’t have a 1st round pick due to the RGIII trade and 4th rounder Phillip Thomas is out for the year with an … More »
