The Redskins


Recommended Posts

Redskins are going to have to rely on their defense.

Arrington might be the best defensive player in the league, Jeremiah Trotter is probably the youngest/best middle linebacker, and Armstead has been the the probowl 5 times...I would still say the Steelers linebackers are better, but not real sure. Champ Bailey is one of the best corners in the league, and Fred Smoot (smootsmack.com) is a good corner but this group still isn't as good as the Eagles duo of Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor.

 

Honestly the offense does not have a quarterback, and it doesn't have any proven receivers. Jacquez Green knows the system the best, but Gardner is where the future lies, but hes only a second year player. When they released Michael Westbrook they lost one of their big receivers who could go over the middle, I thought they should have kept him because they do not have a great quarterback, regardless of who they go with. Their best offensive weapon is Stephen Davis, but I don't think he fits Spurriers offense...He's not a guy that needs draws or sweeps, hes a north south punishing runner who is coming off one of his best years ever. I think a Warrick Dunn or Tiki Barber type player is what Spurrier wants. They love draws and screen passes, are great receivers out of the back field, and don't need a lead blocker...they can work out of a trips or single set formation and most outside backers can't cover them one on one.

 

Realistically they are 8-8 for the third year in a row, possibly sneak into the playoffs as a wildcard, but would lose right after that. I don't see them sweeping the Eagles, Cowboys, or Giants or possibly not even splitting with them (Cowboys have beaten them like 10 times in a row).

I think the best/ worse thing that could have happened happened last night...the Redskins won and they won big, but I don't think that is what that team needs right now.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
