Fanspeak: Washington Commanders

We are two weeks into the NFL season and “Operation Patience” has taken on a whole new meaning, as the defending division champs are floundering at 0-2. The Redskins franchise quarterback looks nothing like the player who won Offensive Rookie of the Year and helped the Redskins have a top 5 offense in the league … More »

Yesterday saw the return of the prodigal safety Brandon Meriweather to action, as the 2012 free agent acquisition was suiting up for just his 2nd regular season game as a member of the Washington Redskins. In his first contest last year, he made a memorable impact as he intercepted a bad pass and had 9 … More »

In the mix of all the issues exposed in yesterday’s game, one thing that isn’t being fully discussed is the Redskins kicker situation. Perhaps that is due to people just believing that Forbath will be ready to go this week, but I’m not sure if we can count on that. A sore groin for a … More »

Here are my 5 keys to Sunday’s Game:   1. Get Griffin Going Early: I want to see the Redskins come out with basically the same game plan they had in Griffin’s first game last year versus the Saints. Now I don’t think Griffin is going to be as mobile and able to do some … More »

The Redskins could be forced to make a roster decision today as kicker Kai Forbath is listed as questionable with a groin injury. If they don’t feel he can go, they will be signing kicker John Potter who was in camp with them this year. Potter only handled kick-off duties in the preseason, but did … More »

Here is how the Redskins and Packers match-up at each position. For each position I’ll list the team that has the advantage, with a brief reason why: Quarterback: Packers Even with a healthy RGIII, this would be advantage Packers, though it would have been a lot closer. Now with Griffin still shaking the rust off, Rodgers … More »
