So where do we begin with our Washington Redskins? Another week another loss and it’s starting to feel like last year again…or is it? We are not seeing the same Redskins of the past, this is a team that fights and battles any team from start to finish. The only thing that does seem the same are two things, one our QB situation and the second is that we tend to fall behind kind of early and then we play catch up. We are a pretty good team when we have the lead this year; the problem is that these past two weeks we have been playing from behind. Hopefully John Beck can help turn things around; he looked a whole lot better than Grossman ever did, even with the interception it just looked like there was a miscommunication between WR and QB. This game is won and lost with the help of momentum and this weekend was no different. With less than a minute left in the first half, Gaffney fumbles the ball and puts Carolina in field goal range. The score was tied at that point and after that kick you could feel the momentum changing. The rest as you know is history, we still had a decent showing. Beck looked poised in the pocket and accurate on most of his passes. Which means that hopefully Beck is not the same as any of our QB’s that we have had in the last 10 years and that he can actually play. Now the rest of the offense has to step it up as well. I don’t care that we lost Trent or Corey, this is a NFL team with NFL players which means you are one of at least 1500 people in the world that are elite athletes, so it is time that they step up as well. Great teams are able to rotate players and not miss that many beats; we need to keep it rolling. I know the expectations are pretty low right now and as a Redskins fan since 1991 I don’t blame anybody, this seems like what we have been through before. The team as a whole just needs to continue to improve, we lost Santana and hopefully this means that one of our young guys can show up and give us a reason to believe in the team. Leonard Hankerson, Niles Paul and Terrance Austin are three guys that need to bring it this weekend against the Bills, we know that Armstrong is going to show up and Gaffney will show up so we need one of these guys to show up as well. My hope is that Leonard comes to play, let’s see what this 6’2 WR can do in the NFL. Orakpo and Kerrigan will continue to do their thing and so our other players need to help them out. One last thing DHall it is time to shut up and show up instead of talking so god damn much, you run your mouth as if you are an elite corner. You’re not, what you are is a corner that can catch a ball, the day you can shut down a WR and tackle on a consistent basis then maybe you can run your mouth. Revis rarely talks about what he is going to do in a game, he shows up and does it. Take note from that and show us what you showed at the beginning of last year. Be a leader to the other corners on the team, hell follow Becks demeanor, in the Philly game after he scored the touchdown he got up and walked away, he didn’t celebrate or do anything but that. With bookends like Osakpo as I like to call him and Kerrigan your job should be a lot easier. Look for the Redskins to rebound this weekend against a one dimensional team in Buffalo and bring the heat. Let’s go Redskins
