Re: Off season begins.

Lots of holes to fill on D. We've got money to spend and we better consider using it especially up front. We also need guys like Cravens, Fuller, and Smith to be significant contributors next year. I like Mason Foster but I've never been completely sold on Compton, I think we can upgrade there. Joe Barry needs to go, I don't think he should take all the blame but we can do much better.

WR is also another potential need with Garcon and DJ both possibly out the door. I think Jackson is gone but we'll make a good effort to keep Garcon. Obviously Doctson needs to step in and contribute like a #1 pick right off the bat.

I like Rob Kelley, he's a grinder and his numbers project out well over 16 games, but if there's a playmaker out there in the mid to later rounds you have to grab him. You can never have enough backs.

As for Cousins, pay the guy. Otherwise we're starting over at the most important spot on the team and I highly doubt McCloughan is interested in moving backwards in year 3.

I completely agree with everything that you said!

Excellent Analysis!

Kirk HAS to look at Crowder more often....he always creates space and is a big threat of YAC

Yeah I'm not sure who set up the progression of his reads but idk how he looked at Mo Harris before he looked at Crowder running wide open in the end zone. Crowder should have his trust already.

Re: Off season begins.

Looks like there is a chance that the Redskins might be looking for both an Offensive Coordinator and a Defensive Coordinator...

Report: Rams to interview Redskins OC Sean McVay

Re: Off season begins.

This team is going nowhere with Gruden and Cousins. Complete inability to manage the game or the clock. By the end of the season teams figured out that all they had to do was pressure Cousins and he'd panic and throw an INT or just stand there and get sacked. Make sure a dinged up Reed was covered tight and you can do it all day. You can be sure the rest of the league has taken some notes and the numbers Cousins put up this year will never be repeated.

The key to stopping any team is make them one dimensional and pressure the QB. It's not some magical solution to just beat the Redskins and Cousins.

Re: Off season begins.

Djax is gone, no chance we pay him big $$ for basically a one trick pony. Harris will be a good WR esp possession guy. Crowder is a lethal slot guy and Doc will be back next yr.. The one time he played he caught a deep ball which showed his speed.. Reed and Davis will be back as will CT.. We will be just as good on offense, need to use DJAX money on our defense and some OL depth.

Re: Off season begins.

We were a soft one dimensional team on offense and our defense is severely undermanned and led by an inadequate defensive coordinator.
For years we had Vinny Cerrato and Snyder running the the team into the ground. We finally corrected. Now for years we have had a series of inadequate defensive coordinators. Move #1 this offseason is fire our D Coordinator and hire a solid experienced one like Wade Phillips. Then #2 get rid of McVay and hire Norv Turner, a supebowl winning O Coordinator that understands running the ball and being balanced.
I trust our GM to do his job as long the owner and head coach stay out of the FO personnel decisions.
Most importantly defense win championships. We have to commit to rebuilding the defense that be physical and stout up front. Stopping the run and running the ball are the basics that all good teams have to do well. We do neither.

If mcvay leaves he leaves, he's a decent OC but his play calling is sub par at best.

I remember plenty of folks saying the same about Kyle when he was here.

Truth is both guys are very good coordinators. Our offense was 3rd in total yards, 2nd in passing yards, 12th in points, we did a lot of good things and McVay deserves a lot of credit in that.
