Burner's Burning Questions: Grades, Evals, Questions, Regular Season, 2018
Week Seven
Greetings to everyone here in BGO land and greetings to all of our friends on social media. We hope you become a member of the family here.
Redskins football and Rich Tandler fit together like a glove. Many of us started our day reading his latest update and news about the Skins. He was our go to source for all things Washington Redskins. We will miss him. We continue our tribute to him and today's look at the Cowboys game will include a bit of Rich's style and format.
Our thoughts continue to be focused on those who were in the paths of Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Michael. We hope areas affected can get the help and support that is needed, but understand it will take time.
Week seven is in the books and now we take a look at how the entire team fared against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The questions and answers will be quick and simple once again as we pay tribute to Rich. We will try to make some sense of it all as BBQ hands out grades, evaluations and questions. Feel free to offer your own grades, evaluations, questions, and opinions.
Upcoming Dates:
- Days until the Giants game: 3
- Days until the Eagles game: 39
- Days until NFL free agency: 139
- Days until NFL draft: 182
Let's take a look at week seven.
Quarterbacks:
Question: How did Alex Smith fare?
Answer: We need to consider that he was without the services of Paul Richardson, Jamison Crowder, and Chris Thompson.
Grade: B-
Running Backs:
Question: Do you have a grade for them?
Answer: Adrian Peterson is incredible. Kapri Bibbs did a fine job.
Grade: A
Wide Receivers:
Question: Well, how about the receivers?
Answer: Josh Doctson could've found his niche in the offense. Quick inside slants and quick hook routes.
Grade: B-
Tight Ends:
Question: What grade do give them?
Answer: They were certainly not utilized effectively, but were open for at least one touchdown and potentially significant gains.
Grade: B
Offensive Line:
Question: How would you rate them?
Answer: Phenomenal. Solid game. Truly a work of art.
Grade: A
Defensive Line:
Question: What grade would you give their effort against the Cowboys?
Answer: Equally as good as the offensive line. Contained Ezekiel Elliott. Scored a near safety, but turned it into a touchdown.
Grade: A
Linebackers:
Question: How did this group fare against the Panthers?
Answer: They lived in the offensive backfield most of the day and had good pass coverage.
Grade: B+
Cornerbacks:
Question: Greg Stroman has a lot to learn, doesn't he?
Answer: Yes, but he had a solid day aside from the one glaring mistake

Safeties:
Question: Will DJ Sweringer slow down this season?
Answer: His intensity continues to be at a high level.
Grade: B
Special Teams:
Question: How about this unit?
Answer: Kudos all around once again. Tress Way continually pinned the Cowboys deep in their own territory. Dustin Hopkins had a solid day.
Grade: A
Coaching:
Question: What can we say about the coaches for this game?
Answer:
Offense. Game management by the offense was adequate.
Defense. They deserved a ride back to Redskins Park in limos.
Special teams. Excellent.
Grade: B-
We continue to mourn the loss of Rich Tandler. His website was more than just a hobby and the transition to being a member of the Redskins media was seamless. Rich was one of us – a fan. He was a fan who gave it to you straight and without bias. Rich will certainly be missed and BBQ will honor him from this day forward with a daily countdown tracker in the off-season and in-season blogs.
Next week we will resume our weekly questions in this section. On to week eight and the Giants game.
Hail To The Redskins!
