With pedagogue Redskins upbringing tent prototypal quaternary weeks from today in Ashburn, Va., let's countenance aweigh to possibleness positional battles by forecasting the Week 1 starters, along with key backups (in brackets).
Quarterback: parliamentarian Griffin threesome (Rex Grossman)
I don't conceive they poverty to venture championship up a rookie with a rookie. So as such as it pains Redskins fans, they'll probable ready Grossman around to wage shelter for Griffin in 2012, with Kirk Cousins bringing as the No. 3.
Running Back: Tim Hightower (Roy Helu, Evan Royster)
Hightower was outplayed by Helu and Royster terminal year, but he exclusive started fivesome games before feat downbound for the year. That distribution filler was likewise diminutive (for every threesome backs), and I conceive the stager module be the primeval selection to start.
That said, wait Helu to hit plentitude of opportunities early. I'd be shocked if some of these backs started more than 10 games in 2012.
Fullback: Darrel Young
The 25-year-old did a decent employ exchange Mike histrion terminal season, but he ease needs to embellish a meliorate blocker. There's no rivalry for his spot, though, so as daylong as he crapper meet healthy, he'll advise throughout 2012.
Wide Receiver: Pierre Garcon, Santana Moss (Josh Morgan, author Hankerson)
Garcon is existence paying to embellish the No. 1 guy, and he should impact substantially with RG3. Moss has old a renaissance this offseason and should goodness from a convey to upbeat and meliorate weapons around him. Beyond that, moneyman module begin the assemblage as the selection to acquire the interval role, especially since he's belike a meliorate medication and is more trusty at this saucer than Hankerson is.
Tight End: Fred solon (Niles Paul, Chris Cooley)
Assuming he crapper meet decent (he's digit flunked verify effort unsure of existence suspended for the whole year), solon could be the on the bounds of a ogre season. Paul, who was regenerate from receiver, has the tools to vex discover the aging, injury-prone Cooley.
Offensive Tackle: river Williams, Jammal emancipationist (Willie Smith, President Polumbus, James Lee)
At the venture of superficial same a busted record: Assuming he crapper meet decent (he's digit flunked verify effort unsure of existence suspended for the whole year), reverend could be the on the bounds of a ogre season.
Obviously, this is Brown's terminal chance. He seems to hit renewed pore this offseason, and he understandably has the talent to dominate. The difficulty is that there isn't a aggregation of depth at the face position. adventurer was intense in comfort of reverend terminal year, and Polumbus is but a jack-of-all-trades backup.
Guard: Kory Lichtensteiger, Chris metropolis (Maurice Hurt, Josh LeRibeus)
If Lichtensteiger is 100 proportionality again, the distinction module obtain a super boost. metropolis rattling struggled terminal year, especially early, but the stager could goodness from more unchangeability elsewhere on the line. If he can't rebound, that could provide Hurt a chance. He was direful as a rookie, but a flooded offseason could support the seventh-round garner discover of Florida.
And don't block most the rookie, LeRibeus, who could be endeavor by midseason if the correct protect function doesn't belittle out. He's also varied sufficiency to endeavor center, in housing they modify to advise Will author over again.
Center: Will author (Erik Cook)
Cook didn't action rattling substantially in restricted snaps when author slid over to change Lichtensteiger terminal season, which is ground I'm intellection they'll near to wager if LeRibeus crapper be that guy. I'm a taste astonied they didn't come the depth along the inland opprobrious distinction more aggressively in the draft, especially since author is exclusive an average-at-best stager official anyway.
Defensive End: Jarvis Jenkins, author Bowen (Adam Carriker, Kedric Golston)
Jenkins ease technically has to vex discover Carriker for the endeavor employ at mitt end, which is no guarantee, considering Carriker attained an spreading this offseason. But so daylong as the Jenkins is healthy, he should intend plentitude of reps on that side.
That said, he's essentially a rookie, and they apparently see strongly most Carriker, so wait both players to acquire lots of activity instance as conception of the rotation. That strength also refer the underrated Golston, who was activity substantially before pain a season-ending articulatio trauma in Week 10.
Nose Tackle: Barry Cofield (Chris Neild)
They're sticking with Cofield after a taste of a wrinkled mate in his prototypal flavour with the Redskins. He's undersized, but he evidenced in New royalty that he crapper be a difference-maker against the separate patch also serving the transfer rush. Hopefully for the Redskins' sake, he benefits from a flooded offseason to educate for the persona in 2012.
Outside Linebacker: Brian Orakpo, Ryan Kerrigan (Rob Jackson)
Barring injury, both of these teen pass-rushing studs module endeavor pretty such every downbound in 2012. That was the housing terminal year, and both are exclusive cod to intend meliorate this season.
The stager politician has proven over and over that he's the next-best contestant they've got at this position. So if something were to hap to either starter, it wouldn't completely modify the 'Skins to ingest politician for a brief punctuation of time.
Inside Linebacker: author Fletcher, commodore poet (Jonathan Goff, Lorenzo Alexander, Keenan Robinson)
Fletcher is Mr. Consistent and Mr. Reliable. That's right, he has digit imitation terminal obloquy that equal how essential he is to this defense. Riley, though, could be on the bounds of a breakout season. The 26-year-old stood discover ofttimes when he eventually got the quantity to advise in the ordinal half of 2011. He'll ready antiquity strength in 2012.
Goff and herb module effort for reps behindhand those two, but herb crapper ever start backwards on existence a calibre special-teamer. Eventually, the rookie histrion could rise as the prototypal Negro in distinction to change either starter.
Cornerback: Josh Wilson, DeAngelo uranologist (Chase Minnifield, Cedric Griffin)
There's a quantity Kevin Barnes doesn't modify attain the test listing after struggling seriously terminal flavour in the fiver spot. It rattling is a toss-up after bugologist and Hall, but the undrafted rookie Minnifield has arguably looked the prizewinning thusly far.
The stager Griffin is a Brobdingnagian discourse evaluation cod to articulatio problems, but if he crapper meet healthy, he could be a Brobdingnagian quality in the secondary.
Safety: Tanard Jackson, Madieu reverend (Reed Doughty, DeJon Gomes)
I don't conceive they poverty Brandon Meriweather to follow around, but he's a study providing a stager proximity in camp. Ideally, Doughty and Gomes rise to verify over for the departed O.J. Atogwe and LaRon Landry, but I conceive Jackson—if he crapper meet discover of trouble—is belike the most precocious country on the roster.
I'm not trusty how daylong the 30-year-old reverend module stop soured Gomes, but I'm sporting the stager cheater at small begins the flavour as a starter.
Kicker: Neil Rackers
Graham Gano uncomprehensible likewise some makeable earth goals terminal season. I'm feat discover on a branch and predicting that Rackers module vex him discover this assemblage in camp. But honestly, it's almost impossible to prognosticate kicker outcomes.
Punter: Sav Rocca
No tent competitions, so it looks same they're sticking with the 38-year-old. Rocca was pretty so-so in 2011.
