After watching the Redskins get embarrassed on Monday night football I have to adjust my thoughts on what Allen and Shanahan will do to this team. The defense is equally as bad as the offense. There is a need for massive change on this team. I feel that we must trade back into the first round this year in the draft.


QB: Jason Campbell has all the tools to become a great NFL QB. I feel he can run the Shanahan offence, he can scramble, run the bootleg. JC has a big arm, can take a hit and is a leader. However Jason makes too many mental mistakes and for as gifted as he is physically, he has not been able to put it together mentally. I like the guy as a person but he right now he is not the answer for the Washington Redskins.

I don’t feel like this is the end for Campbell in Washington, if only for the fact that he can be a cheap body for a year to protect the rookie from playing too early. If he is truly a RFA he should be tendered that way if another team makes a run at him we will get some additional picks that we need. Right now I am in the Sam Bradford camp. Ideally in this situation Bradford can learn the Shanahan offense and heal that shoulder of his completely. Then 2011 let Campbell walk or if he does well trade him for picks.


RB: Portis will be a Redskin next year, the Giants showed the reason why. He is the best blocking running back in the industry. He has lost a step, behind the right line he can do better. We will switch to a running back by committee. Ganther has done enough to stay on the roster. Rock Cartright and Ladel Betts will be cut because of age and injury. Mason simply will not make the team. If they draft Jonathon Dwyer, Jahvid Best, Toby Gerhart, Ryan Mathews, Dexter McCluster or Javarris James. Not all of these guys will be in the first round, but each are talented enough to give a boast to this roster.

Lets also not forget who our owner is. If a player like Sproles or Reggie Bush hits the market, we may make a run at him.

FB: Mike Sellars will be let go. He has not been able to block as he did his probowl season. Mike has never been much of a runner. I believe that also The Shanahan offense implements a lot of 1 back sets. If we drafted a player like Gerhart in the second can be converted to a FB/ goal line back. I know a lot of you won’t agree with me on that conversion, but I can see Gerhart as a Mike Alstott type of player.
WR, TE and a redo of my Oline will be posted next Thanks folks and tell me what you think!
