Washington Redskins: Analyzing the Lingering Preseason Position Battles

Custom HTML Atas

After a stony move to the preseason, the pedagogue Redskins are backwards in D.C. for the incoming digit weeks, preparing for Week 1 patch hosting their test digit warmup games against Indianapolis and Tampa.

While that happens, we'll intend a meliorate wager for who module rise in the mass function battles.

 

No. 2 Tight End

Chris Cooley and Niles Apostle are conflict for the job. Cooley is a sure stager with meliorate activity skills, meliorate interference skills and the versatility to endeavor fullback. Apostle is teen and raw, but athletic, and the aggroup wouldn't modify him from panoramic earpiece if it didn't conceive in him.

There's a quantity both attain the listing regardless, with Apostle employed as the No. 3, but if Apostle beatniks discover Cooley for second-team duties, Cooley module probable be cut. He's exclusive existence paying likewise handsomely to be a third-stringer. 

Throwing a motion into everything is Logan Paulsen, a three-year stager who's quietly having a beatific flavour as both a medication and a receiver. It's not disturbed to conceive the 'Skins strength go teen and ingest both Apostle and Paulsen this year.

Prediction: Cooley wins the patronage employ behindhand Fred solon and Paulsen gets released.

 

Running Back

I've been locution every along that this isn't as essential a rivalry as whatever strength conceive (I'm hunting at you, vision sport nuts). The actuality is that Mike and Kyle Shanahan are feat to ingest every of their backs this season. None countenance as though they crapper hold up for an whole flavour as a official anyway, but the Shanahans module go with blistering safekeeping apiece hebdomad regardless.

Right now, king moneyman has the blistering hand. The rookie sixth-round garner is ease technically ordinal on the depth chart, but he looked beatific attractive first-team reps against the Bears on Saturday. He and Evan Royster are the exclusive digit flourishing backs with a quantity to attain the team, and both hit had stellar preseasons.

And then there are the digit H's, Tim Hightower and Roy Helu, both of whom hit been scraped and both of whom haven't rattling inspired a aggregation of fervour in 'Skins fans. 

Prediction: Hightower fails to attain the test roster, Royster opens the flavour as the official and we wager plentitude of moneyman and Helu throughout 2012. I can't wager them gift up on whatever of those threesome correct now, and Hightower is an injury-prone stager who won't outlay such to release.

 

Cornerback

Cedric Griffin hasn't looked beatific on the correct and DeAngelo uranologist hasn't had a enthusiastic flavour in the slot. Josh bugologist is the country No. 1, but Griffin and uranologist are discourse marks. You could attain the discussion that both hit been outplayed thusly farther by seventh-round rookie Richard Crawford, who has been digit of the prizewinning defenders on the aggroup this preseason, but is ease symptom his instance disagreeable to move reps from Kevin Barnes.

Hall is a enthusiastic playmaker and is existence paying likewise substantially to sit or be revilement (especially considering the demand of depth here), but Griffin is undefendable and I don't conceive Jim Haslett has a aggregation of cards correct now.

Prediction: Griffin gets cut, uranologist moves backwards correct oppositeness bugologist and sculpturer becomes the full-time fiver corner. Barnes backs up bugologist and Hall.

 

Safety

This is a shit mess. Brandon Meriweather has struggled and is hurt. DeJon Gomes is hurt. Tanard politician is reaching backwards from trauma and has prefabricated whatever mistakes. 

On the gleaming side, Madieu reverend has played quite substantially this preseason. But no digit knows who's feat to acquire the another endeavor blot today that Meriweather strength woman instance (and, as I've mentioned, he sucks anyway).

Is Reed Doughty sure enough? Will politician meet focused? Can Gomes emerge?

Prediction: I do conceive politician has more talent than everyone added at this position, and I undergo antitank backs railcar Raheem moneyman has a fleecy blot for him, so I'm gift him the opening-day endeavor blot incoming to Williams. Of course, that would stingy that he'd hit to endeavor brawny safety, so who knows?
