Fanspeak: Washington Commanders

The Redskins released their first depth chart for the 2013 season today and there are few big surprises. Now not much stock should be put into this first depth chart, as it is not even a guarantee that this is where Mike Shanahan has these players listed. Also, much can change between now and the … More »

Last year the Redskins offensive line benefited by it’s starters making 79 out of a possible 80 starts. While a few other snaps were missed here or there, the Redskins were about as healthy as you could expect from an offensive line. While their line as a whole wasn’t top tier, and maybe not even … More »

By Alan Zlotorzynski HC Mike Shanahan essentially proclaimed his team eliminated from the playoffs following a Week 9 home loss to the Carolina Panthers that dropped the Skins to 3-6.

I don’t think it’s that serious right now. I know it’s quite sore. It takes a little while to find out for … More »

Through the first couple days of practice we’ve already seen a number of guys returning kicks and punts. Now some of these guys are extreme longshots to make the team so for now they won’t be included in this discussion. Even with eliminating them there are a number of intriguing options for the Redskins. Here’s … More »

With Keenan Robinson tearing his pectoral muscle, his season looks to be over. With his loss the Redskins are now really limited to Rodderick Muckelroy and Bryan Kehl behind their starters, London Fletcher and Perry Riley. Both Muckelroy and Kehl have very limited experience beyond special teams, and the Redskins should consider bringing in some … More »

With the latest setback for Adam Carriker and the likelihood that he will need to start the season on the PUP list, the Redskins need to look for ways to boost their defensive line depth.
