Three weeks ago the NFL released its list of 32 Compensatory Picks to be dealt out during the 2019 draft. The Redskins were awarded a total of 4 compensatory picks (the max allowed per team per year) which was one more than was expected from Over The Cap's Compensatory Pick Projection. So, today...
Quick Writer's Note: Apologies for the lack of post for the past two weeks. A combination of hectic work schedule, some life issues and some technical issues made me take a brief hiatus. My goal is to try and do two posts a week during the season. That said I plan to do a bunch of my BYE week...
I grew up watching the Joe Gibbs 1.0 Redskins. So my philosophy on how to win at football has been quite simple. Win in the trenches. That means that you win with your big offensive and defensive linemen. Of course, in the modern NFL, it helps that these big guys are also athletic. What I...
This is my first attempt at giving a preview of an upcoming game.
So the Redskins start the season on the road vs. the Cardinals. This is the type of game that as a Redskins fan you actually want to see. While the team is on the road, they are facing a team that fully admits that they are in a...
Preseason is almost over and the final 53 man roster for the Redskins is almost set. But there are still questions about who should be on the roster and why. Today I'm going to look at how many open spots are left for players fighting to get on the final 53 and some players to watch who may be...
1.0 is here.
Also for comparison, Rich Tandler's 2.0 Roster Thread. I'm linking Rich's thread here for a few reasons. First, it's near identical to my picks. Second, Rich posted his before I did mine. Yes, I did look at his out of curiosity and I also take his commentary along with Finlay and...
Originally, this was going to be a longer blog about some other player stuff that I haven't gotten around to giving my opinion, but now this will be about tonight's game since there's more players I plan on watching than I originally predicted.
Here's the list.
QB
Alex Smith - I just want to...
I finished the Redskins @ Patriots game with a generally good feeling.
The Redskins dominated the 1st half of the game and led 17-3 to the AFC Champion Patriots.
Now I know what you're thinking: "But Ghost, it's just a preseason game with mostly backups starting.....so who cares."
Well, think...
You asked for it, so here it is. My 1st look at what could be the final 53 man roster. I hope to do at least two more of these as we get through the preseason games. The reason is simple: We have seen way too many players shine in camp or practice and yet fail to do so in REAL game situations. I...
So, if you don't feel like reading a long article on the draft, here's a quick summary via anecdote:
I had to call my former employers the other day for some information and wound up talking to a former co-worker who follows the 'Skins. He asked me what I thought of the draft (back then I was...
Before you read this post, you may want to check out Redskins Recon's Post-Mortem on Kevin Hogan
It's not pretty.
Anyway, I'm going to briefly look at Hogan's pre-draft evaluation from Pro Scouting Guide Ourlads.
Ourlads is run by former NFL scout Dan Shonka.
Apparently many of the teams...
I thought I might put this here as maybe not every moment has a video go with it. Sorry about the nfl.com links. I dont know how to embed their videos.)
With this season coming to a close, it not been very successful so far, I went back and watched some of the games that I got to see since...
