Redskins SHOULD Lose (Week #12)

ILB Perry Riley (11 tackles, 6 solo) looks like the future ILB we needed. For now, he and London look like a solid team in the middle. Them, combined with Orakpo and Kerrigan, give us an awesome Linebacker corps.

RB Helu looks like a dual threat (rushing and receiving).

The next 5 games should be used to spot more future stars… I’d love to see more of NT Nield, WR Paul, CB Thompson and OLB Markus White.

WR Hankerson needs to step up!!!

I understand everyone has opinions and I read these threads week in and week out and i am absolutly astonished that people would want our team to lose to gain draft position. Sorry but if Shanny finds the QB or whatever prospect he intends on drafting he will make a deal to still get that player. We are not that far away from being contenders. We need depth of course and our Oline and Qb are definatly areas that need better play but we have had alot of progress this year and at one point were sitting at the top of the division. I can’t wait to see this year play out and I love how our young bucks Helu and Riley are playing. Not to mention Hankerson was starting to play phenomenal and what you like to see is progression and he did that each week he played.

In my opinion where we need depth is OL. I believe that will be addressed for sure this next season. Defense was addressed last year, offense will be this year. I really trust shanny and bruce and how they are piecing this team together. I understand what you are saying though of trading up and losing potential pieces. Only time will tell which road they decide to go down…

in my opinion these are our needs:
-draft and groom a QB
-draft and sign multiple OL
-resign fred davis
-bring back Adam C.
-draft or sign another WR to compliment Moss, Gaffney, Hankerson, and Niles Paul
-draft and/or sign another CB
-draft another NT
-resign Landry
and somewhere down the line try to draft or find someone to sit and play behind Fletcher

and could be forced to trade up. Maybe Landry Jones slipping a bit this past month is a blessing is disguise, as he could fall to us. We will definitly beat Minn, and could sneak another game out of somewhere.

Right now, I see us almost having to trade up for a QB, and I hope if they do trade up, it is for Luck.

We found our RB. We found some good young WR’s(Hank and Paul – by the way, Paul caught everything thrown his way). We could have found some nice depth on the O-Line(Hurt). We know we have a legit receiving threat in Davis, and he needs to be re-signed. We have a nice FB in Young. We need linemen(can get at least 1 stud in FA), and we need a QB. 3 more offensive starters – 2 linemen, 1 QB. Between FA and the draft, I’n sure we can accomplish this.

As long as we re-sign Landry and Fletcher, I’m content to let the defense go. When healthy, we are a pretty good defense, and I think everyone can admit that.

Even if we decide to trade a shit load to get Luck, we still have FA – where we can focus on getting Nicks/Grubbs, and we would hopefully retain our 3rd round pick(we could focus on a guy like Ben Jones, or Potter, or Brewster), and I’d assume we would have at least one of out two 4ths(maybe a guy like Posey).

I’m fine with this as long as we get our guy at QB, and bring in 2 new starters along the O-line.

I can then say, the pieces are now in place.

If anyone can say this is not a better line-up than we had this year, please speak up:
QB – Luck
RB – Helu
FB – Young
WR – Hankerson
WR – Moss
WR – Paul/Gaffney
LT – TW
LG – Licht
C – Jones/Brewster(both rookies)
RG – Nicks or Grubbs
RT – Potter(or another rookie)
