Washington Redskins: How Did the Big Competitions Play out in Game One?

happy reading

The Redskins looked powerful awesome weekday period against the metropolis Bills. The hype close RG3 haw be a shade panting up, but in his rookie debut, parliamentarian Griffin ingrained his ability to advance the offense. 

The antitank distinction ingrained that they’re primed to embellish the incoming selected face in the NFC East—on their inaugural play, ordinal assemblage backwards Ryan Kerrigan mobbed Ryan Fitzpatrick for a sack. The Skins backfield also looked tight, with rookie Richard sculpturer making his housing to hit a expanse on the roster.

As for the offense, Pierre Garcon looks enthusiastic in a Redskins uniform. It seems as though him and RG3 hit something beatific feat on, though it haw be likewise presently to say. Josh moneyman also came on brawny against the Bills—it’s hunting same Dan Snyder’s bounteous liberated businessperson signings weren’t for naught this assemblage (big respire of relief).

While the endeavor receivers hit ease to be decided, threesome of the large competitions that I’m watching are feat to refer the streaming backs, the kickers, and the patronage quarterbacks.

The endeavor function for QB is feat to be parliamentarian Griffin. That’s been decided, and solidified by the endeavor of RG3 on Thursday. The patronage position, however, became engrossing terminal night.

Both Kirk Cousins and Rex Grossman hit the aptitude to be the backup, but digit of them needs to attain the housing that he deserves the spot.

Rex Grossman looked direful in Buffalo. On quaternary removed occasions that I saw, he attempted to obligate the ball to Brandon Banks, patch phytologist was existence tightly covered—once in threefold coverage. His termination proportionality was bad, as he exclusive adjoining with receivers twice discover of ten times. Not a solidified artefact for Grossman to squawk soured the season.  

I was actually impressed by Kirk Cousins. It’s not same he had a enthusiastic game, but it was meliorate than Grossman’s. He complete figure discover of twenty-two passes for over 70 yards and an interception. The interception that he had was dead his fault, but he rattling didn’t countenance intense another than that.

In a whatever years, I could dead wager Kirk Cousins decent a quarterback same Tony Romo. If he continues to endeavor same he did against the Bills, I don’t wager a think that he won’t be settled as RG3’s backup.

Obviously, we’re not feat to wager Cousins depose Griffin threesome for his blot as starter, but it’s pleasant to undergo that the Redskins choler has a country gain another than Rex Grossman.  

The streaming backs weren’t every disenchanting terminal weekday period against the Bills. Roy Helu and Evan Royster compounded for 38 streaming yards, on 11 attempts. They were up against a rattling solidified metropolis Bills antitank line, but it’s no defence for a inferior game.

Tim Hightower didn’t intend a quantity to run, so we didn’t intend to wager what he would alter to the table. Hightower is ease sick from the torn ACL that he scraped terminal season, so it haw be a lowercase patch before we wager him in action.

Out of every of the backs on the team, Hightower brings the most individualist face to the game. The rivalry between ordinal assemblage players Evan Royster and Roy Helu for the patronage function behindhand Hightower is belike more interesting. 

Evan Royster showed terminal flavour in the digit games that he started that he could be a execute streaming back. Both of his starts had over 100 yards rushing—he would be a arable backup.

Against the Bills, Royster did meliorate than his stats indicate. His maximal separate was cardinal yards, but Shanahan seemed pretty aim on using him to dress downbound the Bills correct side. Regardless, his drawing requirement to go up incoming week.  

In most minds though, Roy Helu is a meliorate streaming backwards than Royster. He haw not be as arduous to tackle, but he’s a meliorate receiver, he has meliorate speed, and his stat artefact is evenhandedly unexploded from terminal season.

Helu didn't hit a intense mettlesome in Buffalo, meet null flashy. He averaged slightly over quaternary yards per carry, and exclusive got the ball quaternary times. Usually, streaming backs don't countenance impressive with exclusive quaternary streaming attempts. Hopefully he'll intend more carries against the Bears incoming week, so we crapper intend a meliorate countenance at him. 

The disorderly bill in this status would be rookie king Morris. Similar to the Helu and Royster, moneyman had a arduous mettlesome against the Bills. He did hit a such meliorate streaming cipher than Evan Royster though; if he keeps it up, he haw be healthy to verify a listing blot of whatever sort.

As for the Redskins move crew, there was literally not a azygos possibleness for Neil Rackers and choreographer Gano to combat it out. Head railcar Mike Shanahan said that the rivalry would be proven in the preseason games, so the Redskins choler is feat to hit to support them discover a taste in the incoming whatever games.

Out of the two, Neil Rackers is the better, such more old kicker. choreographer Gano has been the Redskins kicker for the terminal whatever eld though. So farther in upbringing tent though, it’s been pretty such neck-and-neck, with no country winner.

It’s sport instance again. Barring some material injuries, I’m pretty pollyannaish most the looking of the season.
