The Washington Redskins prepare to pick 2nd in the 2nd round of the 2014 NFL Draft by Ron Robey

THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS ARE READY TO WIN!

It's no secret that the Washington Redskins traded the St. Louis Rams 3 first round and 1 2nd round draft pick to secure Robert Griffen III with the second pick of the 2012 NFL Draft.  The Redskins would have been selecting 2nd overall in the 2014 draft due to their pitiful performance last year but the Rams benefited instead due to the desperate deal.  Washington has made some pretty bold moves considering the recent acquisition of DeSean Jackson and can by no stretch call this season a rebuilding year.  If the Skins do not make it to the Championship Game in the 2014 Season, these moves are a bust and they will leave a similar expression on their fans as Johnny Manziel's face as the Dallas Cowboys passed on him.

This 2014 season has the potential to be a legitimate Super Bowl run for the Redskins as they retained Brian Orakpo, Santa Moss, Ryan Kerrigan, DeAngelo Hall and other high paid returning athletes.  With fingers crossed, the Skins must restructure a few deals to make cap roof for draft picks and are predicted to concentrate on getting their defense solid with their first pick.  Remember that Alfred Morris was drafted in the 6th round of the 2012 draft.  He earned his way into the discussion of "Rookie of the Year" and the 2014 "Cover of Madden 15". 

With all of the weapons locked and loaded, the Washington Redskins can only count on rookie head coach Jay Gruden for direction.  It's equally important for the Veteran Players to provide leadership which with London Fletcher retired the Skins will have to manufacture deep in their roster.  Will RG3 be able to duplicate and/or exceed his "Rookie Year" performance after announcing his decision to play without his knee brace in 2014?  Will the Washington Redskins locker room be strong with a questionable DeSean Jackson injected into it?  I'm sure anything has to be better than losing most of your matchups under Mike Shanahan egotistical coaching style.  We would love to hear your thoughts!  #HTTR +Ron Robey

Washington Redskins avoided the "BIG SPLASH" in free agency and have elected to take a "BACK SEAT" by Ron Robey

Dan Gruden new Washington Redskins Head Coach

The Washington Redskins are back!!!

The Washington Redskins had to have one of the worst seasons in Skins history with only a few others to consider if any.  Robert Griffin III started off slow and couldn't seem to get anything going in the first half as the Redskins coaching set up between Shenahan and Snyder spiraled out of control.  In the end if there was a board on the wall at Redskins camp (like 27 days without an injury on the job poster) it would read, 1 as in one day without a rumor that got out.  There's no chance that RG3 is going to spit and sputter this year under Bengals Offensive Coordinator which is now the new Washington Redskins Head Coach.

The Redskins seem to be having a bit of trouble with Fred Davis who has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL for breaking their substance abuse rules again.  Davis spent a few games on suspension last year but not long enough to learn his lesson apparently.  Strike him off of the list of players including Brandon Meriweather, Perry Riley, Josh Wilson which are free agents.  You're needing a strong safety in a bad way while you pass up on CB Derrelle Revis and don't secure any of the 6 best available Safety's?  Sometimes more is lost in indecision than the wrong decision.

On a positive note, London Fletcher is speaking out with his advice on what the team should be doing including but not limited to acquiring Revis.  The Redskins have re-signed veteran players Brian Orakpo, DeAngelo Hall and Santana Moss while releasing Adam Carriker for the 2014 Season.  This IS NOT a re-building year, that's why we gave up our draft picks for RG3.  You need to perform like this is your last chance in 2014 because you might be right.  :)  The Redskins are currently 20 million dollars under the NFL mandated 130 million dollar salary cap. -Ron Robey
