Ok understood, but this isn't about how "good" Cousins is anymore. IMO it's about what the market will bare...he has already shown he can play at a high level in the NFL. Take a look around the league and look at the contracts some of these one year (and in some cases less than a full year) wonders ...

When I first read this statement from Bruce Allen, I laughed out loud. I thought it was clearly a transparent attempt to poison the fan base against Cousins and would NEVER work... but it seems to have worked way better than I could have imagined.

The idea that Kirk Cousins would or should come to ...

Not as active as I used to be, but I'm still around.

Not really sure how upgrading the line is accomplished with releasing one of the best centers in the conference... but okay. The rumor was that Monty wasn't able to handle the mental aspects of the center spot. He wasn't great at calling adjustments and reacting to the defense. That being said, he's ...

Every Redskins fan seems to be taking a dump all over Polumbus these days. Most were going as far as saying that Bruce Campbell was his replacement (an absolutely laughable claim, considering that Campbell hasn't done a single thing in the NFL apart from being a combine warrior.)

What is the ...

Finally the team makes a FA pickup I like. Hatcher is an elite defensive lineman and he's going to make our line much better. We still have a long ways to go, but the D-Line is much stronger now.

Regardless we need help on the Oline. We just need guys with a solid talent wise then we coach them up.
Dont understand how you dont like the fact that we addressed the Oline? We should still go after another tackle either the draft or free agency.

1.) I wholeheartedly disagree with the notion ...

I don't know if we watched the same games or what but Chris Chester and Tyler Polumbus were pathetic last year and wouldn't have started for ANY OTHER TEAM! I for one want them both the hell outta DC on the first thing smoking. THEY SUCK!!

You're tragically uninformed on the matter. I mean ...

I'm really not very enthusiastic about this.

[*][*] Lauvao plays RG, we already have a RG. Chris Chester was a little rough last season, but he was excellent in 2012. According to PFF he was much better than Lauvao in 2013.
[*] Lauvao is one of the most heavily penalized linemen in football. He ...

Shanahan will obviously be fired. The writing is on the wall and it's a move that absolutely has to happen. It's honestly laughable that anyone would think he could survive this. Everything Broncos fans tried to warn us about has happened. We badly need to cut ties. The franchise is in MUCH worse ...

Shanahan will coach next year.
Nothing to see here.

I very sincerely hope not. If Shanahan isn't fired then this franchise is in much worse shape than I thought.

I don't see how he could possibly be back. Could any coach survive his record? Not only has he got a putrid 24-39 (.381%) record but he's got a history of poor coaching hires, and he's clueless about personnel. He's been an unmitigated failure in Washington. Not only will he absolutely be fired, I'd ...

I'm just floored that anyone could think Zorn and Briles are connected in any way. Also, how is Briles "unconventional" he doesn't run some kind of gimmicky offense, he's innovating new ways to use the spread that are taking football by storm. There's nothing "unconventional" about that. Innovation ...

Put the racial talk were the sun don't shine. Maybe the race of players are important to you maybe you have a racial agenda but the rest of want wins.

It would be ignorant to pretend that attacks on RGIII's mental acuity and work ethic aren't at least in part, racially motivated. It's the same ...

I absolutely 100% want Art Briles to coach this team next season. I cannot, for the life of me, think of a convincing reason why he should not. The man is exactly the kind of coach the Redskins need:

⋅  Has a history of rebuilding the culture of a losing team.
⋅  Is an ...

Robert Griffin III has gotten a ton of flak this season, and IMO almost none of it is deserved. He was badly injured in last season's playoffs and he worked his tail off to get in playing shape by the time the season started. It was described as a "superhuman" feat. He is an amazingly hard worker ...

Mike Shanahan has been an absolute disaster in Washington.

He's 24-39 with the Redskins and the franchise is arguably in worse shape than it was when he arrived. We can argue about what he should have done (work with Jason Campbell until a better option became available.) but let's focus on what ...

RayNAustin wrote:Absolutely no point in firing them now. With just three games left, you don't embarrass a well respected coach like Shanahan, which would make the owner look like a vindictive jerk to potential replacements.

Embarrassing him would be forcing him to stay for the rest of the year, lol

TimSkin wrote:Looks like Gettis is getting a lil playing time so that just shows you about LeRibeye's development right there

He showed up fat to camp. He's a disgrace.

Okay, so the OC is the coach's son, the DC is considered part of the problem... so who in the world would be the interim HC and who would fill the staff?

Raheem Morris is the only legitimate option as Interim HC IMO. Is there enough talent on the current staff to fill the other roles?

I'm going full on Randy Quaid in Major League II. I've had enough of these bums.

Here are the things that I want next season:

* Entire coaching staff fired.
* Mark Dantonio (Michigan State HC) hired as Redskins HC.
* Trade RGIII for the moon, start former Michigan State (and Dantonio player) Kirk ...

I see a lot of misplaced hate about the offensive line around here, and I wanted to set a few things straight. For those who may not be aware, Pro Football Focus is an amazing resource for grading NFL players. They aren't scouts who grade technique but they watch every single play and they give a ...

Look, the Redskins are a mess... but let's chalk it up to a lost season and move on.

Bogus cap penalties and injuries killed this team. Can we really blame Shanahan and Haslet for not bringing able to afford any secondary help? How about for injuries to Carriker or Bowen? What about blaming them ...
