Opinion: Drafting WRs vs. Drafting DEs: Did Redskins Make the Right Call?

17 Jun 2008 01:40:01 PDT

Written by Greg Trippiedi
Prior to the 2008 NFL Draft, Brian Burke over at the Advanced NFL Stats blog did some critical research into historical drafting trends. Since the Washington Redskins had arguably critical needs at both WR and DE going into the draft, I think this is a good time to review his results, and app...

Opinion: Taking a Look at the Redskins? Offense

11 Jun 2008 15:18:56 PDT

Written by Greg Trippiedi
RB- Clinton Portis RB- Clinton Portis WR- Antwaan Randle El The Redskins have felt the need to upgrade every skill position since Joe Gibbs took over, and even before this past draft, it’s clear that they have significantly upgraded their skill position players over the last four years.

Opinion: Redskins Prospectus: 4 Wins, 4 Losses, Lots of Questions

07 Jun 2008 23:49:01 PDT

Written by Greg Trippiedi
This leaves us: not very certain of any outcome. It seems like the Redskins are destined for at least four wins and four losses alike. What happens in the remaining 8 games will determine if the Redskins are a Super Bowl Contender, a contender for the top selection in the 2009 draft, or an ave...

Opinion: Were the Redskins Swimming in Uncharted Waters?

09 May 2008 21:14:46 PDT

Written by Greg Trippiedi
But only one comparison I found really hits home as a similar situation to the Redskins drafting multiple receivers in the first two rounds this year. I’m talking about the 2003 Cardinals, and their draft that year. In the first round, the Cards called for Wide Receiver Bryant Johnson, an...

Opinion: Grading the Redskins on the Draft

28 Apr 2008 18:35:26 PDT

Written by Greg Trippiedi
The team drafted for value, and it got a pair of values in the second round in Fred Davis and Malcolm Kelly. If Devin Thomas ends up being the second best receiver in this class, or something of the sort, the Redskins will be fine. The problem comes if neither Kelly or Thomas reaches their pote...

Opinion: Devin "Show Time" Thomas

28 Apr 2008 10:13:46 PDT

Written by Skin Patrol
Redskin Report has an excellent media draft grade review up. Overall our grades are high, but the blurbs have little specifically on Devin Thomas, who may or may not have been the best wide receiver available, and, even so, the Redskins proved pretty wise in trading into the second and stil...

Day 1 Draft Review

26 Apr 2008 19:45:54 PDT

Written by Brian Mulholland
Day 1 of the Redskins draft was a roller coaster of emotions. I felt euphoric as the team traded down and got great value, but that lead to substantial disappointment as players I coveted disappeared just before Washington picked, and seemingly lead to the team panicking and making some s...

2008 Draft: First Day Review - Receiving Bonanza

26 Apr 2008 18:14:46 PDT

Written by Lee Gibbons
Adding all these pass catchers is going to mean some veterans are on their way out. The WR depth chart is jammed packed - Santana Moss, Antwaan Randle-El, Jerome Mathis, Anthony Mix and James Thrash all have NFL experience. If you assume the Redskins keep five receivers, two of Mix, Mathis or...

Opinion: Washington Redskin Draft

14 Apr 2008 16:15:47 PDT

Written by Brian Mulholland
The team should seek a two-way defensive end large enough to hold up against the run, but whom is a strong enough pass rusher to contribute seriously when teams pass on early downs. This player need not be a better pass rusher than Wilson or Washington (though that would be desirable), bu...

So as I head into the final week of shows on Redskins Radio, it's dawning on me that I won't be talking about the Redskins constantly for a living..

After spending free-agency money like a drunken sailor with little to show for it, the Washington Redskins owner may finally be growing out of his fan phase--as in "Let's sign Deion Sanders--he's a star!" The Redskins have been wallflowers at this year's free-agency dance. The article s...

Opinion: Is Jason Campbell a good fit for the West Coast Offense?

16 Mar 2008 09:43:12 PDT

Written by Brian Mulholland
The Coryell offense has been a staple here in the nation’s capital. 22 of the past 26 years have featured a Washington Redskins offense called by a coach off of the Coryell coaching tree, be it Al Saunders, Joe Gibbs or Norv Turner. The team’s records in those 4 other years were 4-12, 8-8, 7-9, ...

Opinion: Why Brandon Lloyd Represents Everything that is Wrong with the Redskins

04 Feb 2008 17:44:51 PST

Written by Greg Trippiedi
What if the Redskins had used both of the picks for Lloyd on interior offensive linemen? The Redskins could have added Mansfield Wrotto, who played many minutes for the Seahawks this season as a rookie, and Jahari Evans, a starter for the New Orleans Saints. The presence of those players on...

Soapbox: with a tip of the hat to mother nature, conditions at kickoff 36 degrees fahrenheit or 2 degrees celsius, winds 18 mph, to be honest it looked colder and windier than that, the Redskins played a Redskins football game. Todd Collins completed eight passes, Clinton Portis ran for 12...

1. The Cardinals defense is very good and is a few more players away from being great. Gabe Watson is playing at such a high level Allan Branch can’t even get on the field right now.

Opinion: How does the ?D? compare with the 2005 Redskins Defense?

12 Oct 2007 14:21:56 PDT

Written by Greg Trippiedi
This trend actually rolled over from 2005 when the Redskins forced punts on 46% of opponent drives (7th). This year, the Redskins have forced punts on 47% of drives, which in a very offense dominant year ranks 2nd among defenses behind only Pittsburgh.

Opinion: Redskins (allegedly) covet JeMarcus Russell

15 Mar 2007 07:57:32 PDT

Written by Skin Patrol
If Washington were to be involved in a trade with the Raiders, a move to the top choice would likely cost the Redskins a healthy package of picks and possibly players. And it's worth noting Washington doesn't have a second-round pick this year to use for ammunition... First let me say I find the i...

What the deuce happened?! 2007 Quarterback Review

10 Jan 2007 11:01:43 PST

Written by Skin Patrol
The Washington Redskins began 2007 with Mark Brunell in a (we thought) revamped offense. Surely we were going to improve on a 2005 offense that was good enough to get us to the playoffs but bad enough to embarrass us in front of the world once there.
