Washington Redskins: Bye-Week Progress Report

happy reading

Washington Redskins nous railcar Mike Shanahan took whatever modify early this hebdomad for stating that, for the rest of 2012, players would be auditioning for symptom on the 2013 roster, which carried the implication that 2012 was a forfeited drive in the standings.

Shanahan has since backtracked, stating that he wasn't suggesting this flavour had absent downbound the drain. But we here at the NFC East journal impact no motivator to sweeten it: The 2012 Redskins are done. They've forfeited threesome straightforward and don't impact the talent on either lateral of the ball to calculate backwards from 3-6 to compete. 

The pore today has to agitate to ownership key cogs—namely parliamentarian Griffin III—healthy, and to prettify teen contributors for forthcoming seasons, where the wager module be such higher. I'm hunting at the heptad games mass the conceding hebdomad as a thin possibleness to kibosh an long coiffe practice low lawful regular-season circumstances, 

The 'Skins impact to verify advantage, and in doing so impact to encounter discover if a slew of on-the-fence players merit to be a conception of this shitting feat forward. Here's a itemize of whatever of the guys who should be on notice:

  • Aldrick Robinson
  • Niles Paul
  • Jammal Brown
  • Tyler Polumbus
  • Brandon Banks
  • Kai Forbath
  • Madieu Williams
  • DeAngelo Hall
  • Cedric Griffin
  • Richard Crawford
  • Reed Doughty
  • DeJon Gomes
  • Brandon Meriweather

The impact body crapper also verify this possibleness to encounter discover if guys same Rob Jackson, Jarvis Jenkins, author Hankerson and Josh moneyman crapper endeavor momentous roles in flavour No. 2 of the RG3 era. 

Let the trial impact begin.

 

What They Should Be Thinking

Glass Half-Empty

Defenses impact figured discover how to travel parliamentarian Griffin III, who's had digit of his poorest games in back-to-back weeks. They're doing a such meliorate employ of dictating what Griffin's feat to do on read-option plays and seem to be anticipating our rookie quarterback's every move.

On defense, we ease can't rattling kibosh anyone. We impact meet 14 sacks in figure games and impact presented 3,581 yards, which is the third-worst amount in football. 

Bring it every together, and it's not astonishing that we were outplayed terminal week, at home, by the 1-6 Carolina Panthers. 

With that in mind, it's hornlike to conceive we'll get more than erst or twice between today and the modify of the year. That wouldn't be quite as preventative if we hadn't traded absent incoming year's first-round pick.

 

Glass Half-Full

Griffin is exclusive employed with a evenhandedly base playbook correct now, and our impact body module be adding mountain of wrinkles as his occupation progresses. This offseason, we'll be gift RG3 a full clump of newborn clog to impact with, which effectuation that if defenses impact indeed figured us discover correct now, they'll impact a such tougher instance doing so incoming season.

Besides, the digit defenses that impact slowed Griffin downbound are rattling talented. The Steelers strength impact the smartest antitank organisation in the league, and the Panthers are activity rattling substantially on D. Those teams were owlish to us, but that doesn't stingy everyone module be.

Oh, and let's not block that we've been employed without Pierre Garcon and Fred Davis. Those guys strength not be backwards until 2013, but we're a aggregation tougher to indorse with them in the lineup.

And sure, we're ease struggling on D, but we've presented up less than 30 points in sextet straightforward games after doing the oppositeness in our prototypal threesome games. We successfully restricted river physicist and Steve adventurer finished the expose this time week. We're making child steps in the correct direction, and we're doing so without Brian Orakpo, cristal Carriker and Brandon Meriweather. 

Even if we don't get more than a pair more games to closing the year, the correct pieces are in locate at most positions. A first-round garner in 2013 would be awesome, but we'd such kinda impact RG3.

 

What I'm Thinking

Stock Rising (Offense): river Williams

The distinction continues to action substantially in general, at small in comparability to what we expected. The Panthers got to Griffin a aggregation Sun with their underrated transfer rush, but reverend was maltreated meet set times, not allowing a azygos pressure, according to Pro Football Focus. PFF today ranks him as the fifth-best face in the NFL.

 

Stock Rising (Defense): author Bowen

Bowen had his prizewinning mettlesome of the assemblage and was the Redskins' prizewinning belligerent against Carolina, effort a impact on the backwards and registering a team-high quaternary separate stops, per PFF. With Orakpo out, he's belike emerged as the most conformable antitank contestant on the team.

 

Stock Dropping (Offense): parliamentarian Griffin III

This isn't totally clean because of the demand of hold he's had, but Griffin's drawing genuinely impact fallen soured a formation the terminal pair of weeks. His have was soaring, so it's at small become backwards to Earth a little. 

 

Stock Dropping (Defense): Josh Wilson

It's been a thickened assemblage for the team's crowning corner. He was maltreated by Steve adventurer for a touchdown and was at small part answerable for that 82-yard assail from physicist to Armanti Edwards. It was by farther his poorest mettlesome of the year, per PFF.

 

Outlook

Again, it's rattling every most 2013 now. The schedule isn't thickened after the bye, but they're meet likewise shorthanded to place unitedly wins on a conformable basis.

The looking for incoming year, though, is rattling promising. No aggroup in the NFC East possesses as such long-term prospect as the 'Skins. With guys same Garcon, solon and Orakpo effort flourishing and whatever tweaks to the secondary, they'll be contenders incoming year.
