Fanspeak: Washington Commanders

I was trying to think of who is the most underrated member of the Washington Redskins going into the 2013 season.  Someone who doesn’t get much talk like Robert Griffin III or Ryan Kerrigan, but comes out and does their job week after week without getting the same fanfare. Will Montgomery came to mind, but … More »

1. Will a Rookie Step Up at Safety? –Brandon Meriweather will hopefully handle one safety spot (see below), which leaves one safety spot to be handled by either 4th rounder Phillip Thomas or 6th rounder Bacarri Rambo. Rambo is the more natural free safety (the expected open position), but Thomas is probably the more complete … More »

1. Did the Redskins Make the Right Call With RG3‘s Rehab?                                                                       -The Redskins will apparently bring Robert Griffin III along … More »

The Redskins have a number of prominent starters and contributors playing for contracts this year and while they will have some greater cap flexibility next year they can’t re-sign everyone. Below are my picks to re-sign and why, and then I will look at why I’m letting some guys walk. Redskins 2014 UFA Class (prominent … More »

I think it is clear to most people that Alfred Morris is an integral part of the Redskins offense and that if he were to go down with an injury it would be a fairly significant setback to the team. While he was an iron man for the team down the stretch, carrying the ball … More »

The Redskins last season had a near perfect attendance record among their offensive linemen, as collectively they missed just a single start. Given the health of the offensive line last season and the fact that all 5 starters are returning, the Redskins may decide that they don’t need to keep the 9 or 10 linemen … More »

Everyone has had their say on the read-option this offseason, but one of the more overlooked aspects is the effect it has on a pass-rusher. Mike and Kyle Shanahan have both emphasized just how much the read-option slows down pass-rushers and helps protect Robert Griffin III in the pocket. Read-option fakes lead to some of … More »

Yesterday I looked at front 7 defenders who were playing for a contract this season, today I will focus on guys in the secondary on expiring deals: 1.
