Are the Washington Redskins favorites to win the NFC East?

A major knee-surgery later, fans can only hope RGIII recovers fully while wondering if he will even return in 2013.

In the fallout many questions were raised regarding the judgement of the coach and player in exposing themselves to such a fate. This week the boys take a hard look at the decisions made by the team, the potential impact to the future, and what should happen to those responsible.

Strong opinions in this episode. This is one you want to hear.

Enjoy!

P.S. We welcome Daniel Shiferaw back this week.

It was a game for the ages with a storybook ending.

This week the boys break down the awesome victory over the Cowboys. It was a throwback to days of yore. From the smashmouth running of Alfred Morris, to season best defensive performances from DeAngelo Hall and London Fletcher. An offense that managed another 28 points, and an opportunistic defense that created three takeaways. And then there was the magnificent gameplan on both sides of the ball. 

It doesn’t get much sweeter than that.

But there’s another game just ahead, and this team is better than the one Washington just beat. The gang looks at a hot Seattle Seahawks team and talk about what the Redskins will need to do to stay alive in the postseason.

Enjoy!

This is one for the ages folks. We will speak of this one for years to come.

This week the boys talk about possibly the biggest regular season game in the history of the franchise. Heady times, but still football. The offense is clicking, even with a banged-up RGIII. The defense however is giving the gang pause for concern. But Dallas isn’t perfect – and they have their share of blemishes. 

Most likely it comes down to desire and destiny.

Enjoy!

The count is up to five, as in victories. But the magic number is two, as in how many wins they need to win the division. The Redskins sit at 8-6, and it is down to just two more games in the season. But these two games will be the difference between let-down and elation.

This week the boys discuss the big victory by the backup in Cleveland. How is it the offense can be just as effective with no RGIII? If there was a trophy for coordinators surely Kyle Shanahan would receive it. And what of the defense? Where are they getting the magic halftime adjustments. Jim Haslett and company are showing they have a few things up their sleeve as well.

But despite the excitement, nothing matters if the team cannot get a win in Philadelphia. All we want for Christmas is a big W.

Everyone’s favorite Homer – Brian Murphy – returns to the lineup.

Enjoy!

This week Skinscast returns to discuss the wonder that is unfolding with this team. From incredible talent at quarterback, running back, receiver and outstanding scheming and play-calling from the coaches; there is plenty of praise to go around. At the same time, early concerns for the defense have become reality, so there is still room to improve.

But something is different about this squad and the gang wonders if finally we have witnessed a turn of the corner and whether this is just the beginning of something wonderful.

Lots to discuss after a long layoff and we welcome Jack Anderson back to the team.

Enjoy!

Sometimes things are just what they seem. Sometimes things are just as advertised. Sometimes dreams really do come true.

Fans of the Washington Redskins could only gaze in amazement at the performance of Robert Griffin III and the 2012 Redskins. Against New Orleans Griffin was lights out, showing poise and effectiveness well beyond his years.  It was the best performance by a rookie quarterback in his debut in a long time, perhaps ever. And best of all, it ended with a win for the Redskins on the road.

This week the boys break down the win against the Saints. They marvel at the effectiveness of the offense, the playmaking of the defense, and look hard for things to criticize. Washington plays St Louis this weekend and the gang wonders what a win and a 2-0 start could mean.

And all the while they try and tell themselves it was only one game…

Enjoy!

This week the boys discuss the team’s performance in the preseason. They highlight the guys who made the cut, and point out the guys who may get cut. The guys have one last chance to change their season record predictions, and there’s a game to play in just a matter of days.

Pappas is so pleased he finally got something right and things could be so much better if Reffkin would only learn to operate a microphone.

Enjoy!

Thankfully Kirk Cousins and the backups came in to restore some dignity and make it a game.

This week the boys discuss the game in Chicago. They breakdown the breakdowns and look towards the all-important third preseason game against the Colts this weekend.

Enjoy!

Tomorrow we get our first glimpse of Robert Griffin III in live game conditions. For the first time in his professional career, the young quarterback will contend with defenders allowed to hit him, and coverages designed to confound him.

This week the boys discuss the goings on at training camp, breaking down the team position by position. They consider who has impressed, and how the depth chart appears to be shaking out. It’s too early to talk about cuts, but positions are up for grabs and a slow start in camp can be forgotten with strong performances in the preseason.

And of course they conjecture on what to expect from the first outing from Griffin and identify what they hope to see against Buffalo.

Enjoy!
