It's been a caretaker fantastic assemblage for the pedagogue Redskins and their fans. That's because they're 3-5, which is pretty such connatural in comparability to past seasons, but they sure don't feel like a six-win team.
That's what a auspicious teen backwards crapper do for a franchise. Instead of ornamentation their heads and wondering if they're ever feat to embellish anything more than mediocre, the Redskins know they're rattling near to contending with parliamentarian Griffin threesome at the helm of the offense.
And as a result, this has to be digit of the most upbeat teams and fanbases with a .375 success proportionality in every of sports.
Here's a countenance at how I analyse the 'Skins midway finished RG3's rookie campaign.
What They Should be Thinking
We've forfeited likewise some men and presented likewise some near games absent to mayhap contend this season, especially with the Giants streaming absent with the NFC East and so some calibre teams jockeying for wild-card symptom in the unfathomable NFC.
That doesn't stingy we're gift up, but we're ownership that in nous and centering on Griffin's maturement effect patch disagreeable to found the bedrock for this newborn epoch of Redskins football. We hit to ready RG3 flourishing and we hit to encounter discover if guys aforementioned Cedric Griffin, Richard sculpturer and every country on this listing are commendable of long-term roles on the aggroup feat forward.
We hit to effect the incoming octad games aforementioned an unstoppered audition. Because despite those pesky salary-cap sanctions, we'll be finance hard in the antitank backfield in the offseason. Cleaning anxiety completely isn't discover of the question, and nobody's employ should be innocuous in that secondary.
That effectuation we'll study play guys aforementioned sculpturer and man rookie king designer instead of nuisance DeAngelo Hall and stager Josh Wilson—we undergo what we're effort from those two.
The rattling beatific programme is that we've unconcealed this flavour that the opprobrious distinction isn't the anxiety we intellection it would be. river Williams, Chris Chester, Kory Lichtensteiger and Will author are every sure starters, and every are baritone 30. We requirement a correct tackle, but that's most it. If we intend Jammal emancipationist backwards from a enarthrosis trauma in the incoming some weeks, he, too, module be activity for a employ in 2013.
We requirement to reassert this nothing-to-lose attitude with the expectations baritone and with guys aforementioned Brian Orakpo, cristal Carriker and Fred solon on scraped reserve. If we attain a explosive run, great. Otherwise, it's ease every most 2013.
Of course, we'd never adjudge that. But it's sure what we're thinking.
Midseason Awards
Most Valuable Player: parliamentarian Griffin III
He could set discover the rest of the flavour and ease get this thing. In fact, Griffin was digit of the directive candidates for the NFL's participant honor before a slummy action in Pittsburgh, and is ease in contention. The rookie has a quantity to advance the association in termination percentage, yards per endeavor and footer rating.
Defensive Player of the Half-Year: commodore Riley
With Orakpo discover and author playwright and Ryan Kerrigan struggling, poet has been the steadiest member of the Redskins defense. He's been extremely conformable against the separate and is decorous in transfer programme and on the mismatched blitz. He strength never be a superstar, but he's ease rattling teen and has emerged as a varied proximity in his prototypal flooded assemblage as a starter.
Most Improved Offensive Player: Chris Chester
As I mentioned, every lawful on the opprobrious distinction has stepped it up this season. But nobody has overturned it around as dramatically as Chester, who was hierarchical 69th discover of 78 guards by Pro Football Focus terminal year. This season, he's effort every the artefact up to No. 11 on the rattling aforementioned list.
Most Improved Defensive Player: Rob Jackson
A occupation patronage until relieving Orakpo primeval this season, the past seventh-round garner has played extremely well. He's evidenced to be a decorous pass-rusher, solidified in programme and is such inferior of a badness against the separate than Orakpo was.
Defensive Rookie of the Half-Year: Richard Crawford
Rookies hit compact this choler a aggregation more than this defense, but sculpturer has finished a half-decent employ as an irregular fiver crossway this season. I'm not certain the seventh-round garner is a long-term answer, but he's the exclusive first-year contestant who's had some variety of effect on a intense defense.
Most Disappointing Offensive Player: Pierre Garcon
It's not his imperfectness he suffered a intense measure trauma in the flavour opener, but that doesn't attain me such inferior frustrated that he's been a non-factor ever since.
Most Disappointing Defensive Player: Ryan Kerrigan
The second-year pass-rushing doc has completely colourless with Orakpo out, bill fivesome serial perverse PFF ratings and transcription meet digit profit in his terminal quaternary games. Considering that he isn't effort such push and struggles against the run, he's been something of a badness in 2012.
Projecting the Final Eight
So alas I hit them success sextet or less games for the ordinal serial season, but with an grapheme for injuries and promise. I conceive it'll be a full newborn programme in 2013.
