New Skinscast Episode – Back in Business

Wednesday, December 12th, 2012

skinscastbangWith arguably the most exciting player to play for the Redskins in our lifetime, and in the midst of a outstanding string of victories, the boys decided to get off their collective ass and get in the game.

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!

New Skinscast Episode – The Franchise

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

skinscastbang

And with the 2nd overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins surprised no-one in selecting Robert Griffin III, the quarterback they hope will take them to the promise land. But the good feelings didn’t end there. The Redskins made some noise in taking Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins in the 4th round. They also managed to add another six players before the weekend concluded.

This week the boys breakdown the draft, and marvel at arguably the most anticipated draft pick in Washington since Sammy Baugh. They weigh-in on the brushfire that has become the Cousins pick – and decide whether it is really much ado about nothing. Then they look at the other pieces added over the weekend, to include three offensive linemen, two defensive backs, a linebacker and running back. Not to mention some free agents brought in following the draft.

New Skinscast Episode – Free Agency 2012

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

Tuesday marks the start of what is arguably the most important acquisition period for the Redskins in a generation.

The entire free world is aware Washington needs a quarterback, and the only question is whether they will opt to get one who is old, young, or choose one of each. But the team has needs well beyond one position. And there are questions whether some key Redskins’ free agents will return.

This week the boys examine free agency and what Washington will need to do in order to improve the team – group by group. Peyton Manning and Robert Griffin III are the names on the tip of everyone’s toungue and the gang predicts which one will end in the burgundy and gold. They conjecture on the future of London Fletcher, LaRon Landry, and others, as well as target who in free agency the Redskins should pursue.

Rick Snider of the Washington Examiner joins in to look at potential penalties associated with Bountygate, and weighs in on Manning, free agency, and recent rumors of a new training facility in Washington.

Enjoy!

New Skinscast Episode – The cursed

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

skinscastbang

No matter what the Redskins do lately, they appear snakebit and destined to lose. Make a change at quarterback; the guy throws two interceptions. A rookie receiver has a breakout day; he gets hurt and goes on injured reserve. They play another one win team; they walk away with another loss.

This week the boys breakdown the breakdowns on this Washington team. The offense is clearly the low point for the Redskins, but the defense lately has not been much better. The gang wonders if the team is getting better or getting worse and there is a prediction of a coordinator change at the end of the year.

Daniel and Murf team up to argue for patience and the turnaround they say is coming, while Pappas proclaims there won’t be a future for Mike Shanahan if next year looks like this.

And while all of this is going on, it’s Dallas week. Predictions all around.

Enjoy!

New Skinscast Episode – Scraping bottom

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011

skinscastbang

There’s nothing like a three-game skid to bring out the passion in the boys. This week the gang examines the depths to which the Redskins have sunk. Murf talks about what an ugly game like the one in Toronto looks like up close, while Pappas examines the obligations of fans in the face of such a poor product.

There’s more discussion of the quarterback, and wait until you hear what Murf is willing to give for a little Luck. Next, the spotlight is turned to the coach and his coordinator for a son.

Finally there’s a look toward this weekend – can anyone muster a positive prediction?
