Opinion: Redskins Training Camp Day Five - One Day with No Two a Days

09 Aug 2009 09:11:36 PDT

Written by Ben Folsom(noreply@blogger.com)
The Redskins do not plan to institute fines or disciplinary measures for players that Tweet in team scenarios. No surprise, number one because Jim Zorn is a players coach and would not dare take away his kids toys and number two because there are a lot of media savvy players on a team owned by a...

Players: Chris Cooley is morphing before our eyes from a football player into a media player though there is no reason to think he will not be a big part of the offense, especially if Jason Campbell is under center. Veteran Todd Yoder is more of a blocker and comes up with one or two big catches e...

This year the Redskins selected ten players in the draft, the most since 2002. That year's draft produced four players that made significant contributions to the Redskins and six that did not. In the enusing drafts from 2003 to 2007, the team had three picks, four picks, six picks, six picks...

Written by Greg Trippiedi
Back to the original subject of this discussion: Would the Redskins have been better served to take Ends instead of receivers at picks 34 and 51? If the Redskins’ draft board at DE was to mimic the actual order in which the players were picked, then the “best available” players at 34 and 51...

Written by Greg Trippiedi
The 2004 Chicago Bears drafted Tommie Harris and Tank Johnson with their first two selections. Johnson is in Dallas now, but appears to have been a good value pick, off-field issues aside, and Tommie Harris is one of the very best DTs in the NFL.

Opinion: Grading the Redskins on the Draft

28 Apr 2008 18:35:26 PDT

Written by Greg Trippiedi
The Cowboys, Eagles, and New York Giants added players at impact positions on the first day. Trevor Laws is an Eagle. Mike Jenkins is a Cowboy. Kenny Phillips is a Giant. Clearly, defenses across the division improved, and I think the Redskins will live to regret not keeping up with this tre...

Day 1 Draft Review

26 Apr 2008 19:45:54 PDT

Written by Brian Mulholland
The Redskins natural #2, the 51st overall was only a few picks away. Reeling from the shock of Davis, I commented to a friend that I felt it might be a good idea to take Calais Campbell with the next pick to salvage the 2nd round. Sure enough, right before Washington went, Arizona took Campbel...

Opinion: Washington Redskin Draft

Written by Brian Mulholland
WRs also often do not contribute as immediately as some other positions. While not as slow-developing as quarterbacks, many struggle for a year or two before finding their groove. In fantasy football circles the rule of thumb is the third year WR. The team will need a player with sufficie...

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

16 Mar 2008 10:43:12 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.

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...

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

12 Oct 2007 14:21:56 PDT

Written by Greg Trippiedi
Thusly, we have to go beyond the numbers to try to project this unit beyond this 4 game start. In 2005, the Redskins had a defensive line of Renaldo Wynn, Cornelius Griffin, Joe Saleve’a, and Phillip Daniels, with Lavar Arrington and Lemar Marshall next to Marcus Washington at the lineback...
