Redskins predictions 2019 edition

Can we please just get through a season without being absolutely decimated by injuries? I really can't do a 3rd straight year of watching this shit.

I love BMitch's response to this teams injuries.. "Suck it up and play football"

Yeah some guys are really injured but there are also guys that are Nicked up and sit the games out. Man up and play. I wish we had more players like Brian

Well, we all saw how terrible Dunbar's game was when he was "sucking it up" trying to play injured.

People need to stop trying to downplay injuries or act like they can be predicted or they were somebody's fault. Injuries have decimated the team and what has happened is completely outside of the ordinary.

Yeah dude. I feel this. I not only can't watch it, I'm tired of discussing it.

Lightning struck twice. I don't think it will strike a third. Except for Jordan Reed, a turf monster will hit him up the ass with a bolt of lightning in preseason week 3.

Didn't the Redskins bring in outside consultants to try to determine the root cause of all the injuries? Whatever happened with that?

According to Gruden, they looked at it, studied it, and said wow guys, that's too bad.

They concluded it was a heaping pile of bad luck hitting them all at once.

I think Quinn is going to stay healthy and have a breakout season at WR with Haskins as the QB.

I also want to see a LOT MORE play actions and a lot LESS predictability on first down. Running for most of the first downs last year was just a waste because teams knew it was coming. I'm glad Jay isn't calling the plays this year - we'll be better for it.

turnovers are crucial for sure...but I really think O'Connell understands some priorities in order to "fix" the Offense. Here what I would do:

1. Use the same formation to run multiple plays and remove tendencies from play strategy
2. Throw more on first down. Yes, Im a "run the damn ball" type dude BUT Jay did something like run the ball 68-70 % on first down, that's way too much and lead to a terrible 1st down yardage success which cause too many 2nd and longs.
3. Bring back play action game. We ran the ball fairly well last year, but our play action game was severely lacking. Cousins was a really good play action QB...I just googled Case Keenum +play action...look what I found from his Minnesota playoff year:

https://www.pff.com/news/fantasy-football-metrics-that-matter-quarterbacks-on-play-action

Case Keenum – Keenum showed the largest discrepancy in play-action passer rating (117.9) vs. non-play-action passer rating (88.2). This could be a legitimate concern for him in Denver. Minnesota ranked second in play-action passes last season, while Denver ranked 11th. Denver has a new offensive coordinator in Bill Musgrave, but the Oakland Raiders in 2016 (Musgrave’s last season as an offensive coordinator) attempted even fewer (32 less) play-action passes than Denver did last season, with the seventh-fewest play-action attempts that year.

Who lead the league in Play Action QB Rating that same year? Cousins in Washington with a 124.4%!!!! Keenum was fifth highest rating in league.

Bro, Grudan, bring back the Play action!!!!!!!

Interesting point. I also think, in order to break tendencies, play action should be used to throw some short and medium passes. I feel like every time we went play action last year we were trying to hit the home run... Can't work every time, especially when you don't have a true speed threat.

Camp is a little over a week away for the Skins, lets see some player predictions for who we think wins certain jobs and who really takes a leap forward this season.

For me I'm going to start with QB - I truly believe Dwayne Haskins wins the job with his pure leadership skills and smarts of the game, not to mention he will WOW the coaching staff with his elite arm talent.

The one player I have taking a leap forward this year and making a run at being a top tier Defensive player is Jon Allen, who after missing most of his rookie year played all 16 games last season.

Accounting for 61 tackles, eight sacks and 35 total pressures (20 hurries).

Allen was also awesome in run defense only missing 4 tackles all season.

What do you guys say?

HTTR

Not really a prediction but god do I hope Wes Martin wins the starting LG spot.

I'd also like Sprinkle to earn some more playing time, we need an hybrid TE that can block and catch.

On defense I hope Montae Nicholson can get back to what he was before his nasty concussion.

My prediction would be squad one rather than a player one: I think our secondary can look amazing this season. With an improved pass rush (Montez Sweat + inside pressure + M Reliable Kerrigan), don't tell me SS Collins - FS Evertt/Nicholson - CB Norman - CB Dunbar/Moreau - SlotCB Stroman/Moreland is not a great squad !

Oh maybe-8-8 or 6-10,depends on injuries and coaching,Gruden can go brain dead at times.
