Could the Skins do what the 49ers did in 2019-20?

I bet they make the playoffs and maybe beyond. There is way too much young talent on this team that hasn’t been coached or used properly.

There is no doubt that the Redskins will surprise many teams used to the undisciplined team that could never get up for the “must win” game. The first surprise will be the defense. This defense has been POORLY coached for over 5 years. Although the ‘skins had 46 sacks last year (10th in the NFL), it really didn’t help their defense - which was near the bottom of the NFL (27th).

I think the defense will turn around VERY QUICKLY. If we draft Chase Young, we will have a fearful rush. This rush will generate lots of turnovers which will make our defense more exciting. You won’t see the confusion of last seasons DB missing assignments because they were unsure of Manusky’s complex schemes. We might get into the top 10 for the defense.

The offense has a lot more questions. I think the team could win 8 games. They might surprise everyone and get to the playoffs in the wildcard but that’s probably next year. But hope you’re right!!

You never know what will happen with Haskins's progress. DC coordinators have a half year of film on him now. He will also be learning a new system. All the flaws in his techniques aren't going away without a lot of work and repetition.

Yes, you’re right. This offseason is really important for Haskin’s increased growth. First is to build an offense around him:

1. He needs a TE. Right now we have nothing. I believe we have a good chance to hire Olsen for a short 1-2 year contract. This is just a stop-gap for the team. Greg Olsen will provide a good TE, who is tough and can be a mentor to the young players we have.

I think the Redskins will target the best TE in FA. Austin Hooper is young, a very good receiver and also can block well. He will be expensive but we’ll worth!



2. Rebuild the OL . Resign Trent Williams, Scherff and Flowersr. Draft an OT in the draft and UDFA in order to try to replace Moses. The competition in TC will either give us a better and motivated Moses or a rookie OT. Martin is really improved and he may used the compete against Moses or to compete for C.

3. Add a WR#2 with the third round draft pick. This new rookie will challenge Harmon at #2. The draft has a DEEP pool of WR. We need a speedy offset to McLaurin.

All the additions will create a far better offense then last year, especially at TE. If we add Hooper and Olsen we will take a non-existence TE crew and make it ELITE.

The biggest improvement will be in the play-calling. Scot Turner will use Haskins strengths optimally rather than being slavishly addicted to a failed running game. We will see much more passing this season than last - especially on first down.

Finally, Haskins will be working with the coach’s at Asburn for most of the offseason. He has made statements saying he will do that. He needs to work on certain techniques. Alex Smith and a new QB coach will work with him A LOT. He may also work with all the receivers this offseason.

I think we’ll see a much improved offense this year. Our offense was LAST in the league last season. It will really improve with some normal bumps for a team with many young players. For all the naysayers of Haskins - they will be really surprised at how much he improves.
