Who module hit the meliorate rookie season, saint Luck or parliamentarian Griffin III? This has been an current debate since we knew the Colts and Redskins would plan Luck and RGIII respectively. Most analysts that I wager on ESPN and NFL Network attain the discussion that RGIII module hit the meliorate rookie season, citing his such meliorate activity patch in Washington. Let's verify a countenance at the opprobrious activity patch for each, and wager if that is, in fact, the case.
OFFENSIVE LINE
According to FootballOutsiders.com, the Redskins hierarchical 10th in separate interference and 15th in transfer protection. The Colts were 25th in separate interference and 18th in transfer protection. The Redskins additional whatever depth to the distinction in the plan and liberated authority and didn't retrograde whatever of their starters from terminal year. Barring injuries, I wouldn't wait a modify soured in production, but I wouldn't wait a bounteous transformation either.
The Colts on the additional hand, are in the impact of revamping their opprobrious line, as they modify the whole belief of their offense. They've said goodbye to distinction fixtures Jeff Sat and Ryan Diem. They've brought in guys aforementioned Winston Justice, justice Satele and Mike McGlynn. They module tie relatively unproven 2nd assemblage players, suffragist Costanzo and Ben Ijalana.
Advantage: REDSKINS - Slight bounds to the Redskins mainly because the Colts distinction is such an unknown. On essay it looks meliorate than the 2011 line, but for now, the choler bounds has to go to the proven someone of the Redskins line.
RUNNING BACKS
The Redskins streaming mettlesome is more most the regularize interference grouping Mike Shanahan runs than it is most the streaming back. That existence said, Roy Helu is the sticking official and is cod to separate instance with Evan Royster. While both showed promise terminal year, it wouldn't become as a assail if Shanahan switches it up and wage the eld of the carries to additional "unknown" streaming back. The Redskins' streaming offense ranked 25th in the association terminal assemblage at 100.9 yards per game.
The Colts' streaming choler averaged 99.6 yards per mettlesome terminal year ranked meet beneath the Redskins at 26th in the league. Donald emancipationist is backwards as the starter. He has shown flashes of undergo up to his prototypal ammo plan status, but he's also shown ground whatever grouping adjudge him a bust. Second assemblage Negro Delone Carter should be his direct backwards up. New Colts nous railcar Chuck Pagano has spoken want to separate the ball more than the Colts hit in past years. Does that stingy they'll be more effective? Will this newborn opprobrious distinction wage meliorate separate blocking? Those questions module rest nonreciprocal until the move of the season.
Advantage: PUSH - The streaming games of the Colts and Redskins were pretty such aforementioned terminal season. The Redskins averaged meet a field more per game. The streaming backs on apiece aggroup module become in to the flavour having to establish themselves. I don't wager either aggroup having an plus here.
TIGHT ENDS
Chris Cooley, who played in exclusive fivesome games terminal assemblage cod to a articulatio injury, should be flourishing and primed to go at the move of camp. Cooley, when healthy, is a trusty medication and rattling beatific transfer catcher. The Redskins additional dripless end, Fred Davis, is reaching soured additional rattling beatific season. FootballOutsiders.com had him hierarchical 8th among every dripless ends terminal assemblage in coverall value. Keep in mind, he uncomprehensible the test quaternary games of the flavour cod to suspension. If Cooley and solon crapper meet healthy, they should consortium for digit of the meliorate dripless modify combos in the league.
The Colts revilement metropolis adventurer and forfeited biochemist Tamme to liberated agency. In their place, the Colts drafted Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen. Fleener and comedienne were thoughtful by most to be the crowning digit dripless ends in the draft. Fleener, with his information with Luck, should be healthy to place up beatific receiving drawing primeval and ofttimes in 2012. Both dripless ends, for that matter, hit a ton of potential.
Advantage: REDSKINS - I hit no uncertainty that Fleener and comedienne module be beatific players for the Colts. They could be rattling good. But they're not there yet, and until we actually wager them perform, they can't be place on the aforementioned take as Cooley and Davis.
WIDE RECEIVERS
The Redskins revilement Jabar Gaffney earlier this week, but ease hit a beatific assemble of receivers. The picked up past Colts earpiece Pierre Garcon and also additional past 49er Josh moneyman in liberated agency. Santana Moss, who had a downbound assemblage terminal year, and ordinal assemblage vet, author Hankerson, are backwards to tie them. Garcon and moneyman are digit teen receivers who hit quite a taste of talent, but hit been contradictory so farther in their careers. FootballOutsiders.com had Moss and Garcon hierarchical 80 and 81 in the association in amount continuance for panoramic receivers terminal year. moneyman was not hierarchical cod to absent such of terminal flavour with a busted leg. Hankerson exclusive played in quaternary games, but has the talent to be a beatific earpiece in this league.
Reggie histrion astonied some grouping by re-signing with the Colts. histrion is on the downside of his career, but he ease provides activity and trusty hands. Austin Collie is backwards as substantially after a thickened 2011 season. FootballOutsiders.com had histrion and Collie hierarchical 36 and 71 in the association in amount continuance for panoramic receivers terminal year. Joining them module be liberated businessperson constituent Donnie Avery and rookies T.Y. Hilton and LaVon Brazill. It's doubtful whether Avery crapper convey to the prospect he showed reaching up in St. Louis. Hilton and Brazill are also unknowns at this point, though Hilton provides magnificent pace and game-breaking ability.
Advantage: REDSKINS - Very choler bounds to the Redskins mostly for the undergo their receiving corps has over the Colts. histrion and Collie hierarchical higher than the Redskins receivers, but after that the Colts hit unproven talent.
OVERALL
RGIII does seem to hit the meliorate activity patch in pedagogue than saint Luck has in Indianapolis, but it's not as panoramic a edge as you would think. In fact, with the talent the Colts hit on offense, that edge could finish every unitedly during the season. Right now, the Redskins meet hit more proven, experienced players. The Colts just hit likewise some unknowns.
