Fanspeak: Washington Redskins Keys to the Game

1- First a review of the Atlanta loss.  I really liked the late drive by Cousins and the offense when it seemed like the game was over after Atlanta scored.  All around impressive as Cousins looked like a Brady or a Rodgers to get into the position to kick the field goal.  A field goal … More »

1- I was completely shocked by the Redskins win over the Eagles Sunday.  I thought the Eagles were going to start making a move in the division and I was wrong.  They are a mess.  A mess like we have seen here for years and it was nice to be on the winning side of this … More »

1-      I think the Redskins should be rooting for the hurricane to postpone this week’s Eagles game.  And then hope Desean Jackson can make it back by then.   Jay Gruden needs DeSean back.  Kirk Cousins needs DeSean back.  They need someone who can stretch the opposing defense especially when your tight end has become your deep threat.  It seems like … More »

1 – I have to say that the week two win against the Rams was a shock to me.  I don’t even want to look back at what I had for a prediction.   Once again the Redskins came out strong in the first half but unlike when the Dolphins stormed back this week Washington was able to … More »

1- I think Kirk Cousins will be OK at quarterback and play much better than his other two chances.  Getting through this first couple weeks will be key for him but I feel he will.  Unlike Griffin I think he takes advantage of the group of skill players around him and can work through the … More »

1.  Dez Bryant breaks his ankle on the first play from scrimmage. Seriously, I don’t think the Redskins can win against Dallas on Monday.  And it is not because I think the Cowboys are invincible I just don’t like this matchup since DeAngelo Hall will not be there.  Dez should destroy the Skins secondary without … More »

1. Protect Kirk Cousins: -The Seahawks lack a true “sackmaster”, but still generate a good pass rush with two proven threats in Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril. Bennett and Avril do a lot of damage by just getting hits and pressure on the QB which forces rushed throws which have a way of becoming interceptions … More »

The Washington Redskins are sitting at 1-1 in a tie for 2nd place in the NFC East division, as they head up to Philadelphia to take on the first place Eagles. The Redskins can’t afford to drop too far behind the Eagles this year, as it looks likely this Eagles team will put up double-digit … More »

1. Run the Football: -Last week Alfred Morris and Roy Helu Jr. ran all over the Texans in their 18 combined opportunities. The Redskins need to get them in the 30-35 carry range this week as this is clearly the strength of the Redskins offense right now. This has to be a bigger part of … More »

Here’s what I’m looking for in the Redskins Preseason Opener: 1- There is not much to see in the first preseason game from the starters usually.  Maybe a series or so depending on how things play out.  But would like to see how Griffin looks compared to last season’s debacle. Watching him drop back and just look … More »
