Rich Tandler's Real Redskins

Ranking the Redskins 16-30

Rich Tandler — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:49:05 +0000

Here is my annual unscientific ranking of the top-contributing players on the Washington Redskins. There are 30 players ranked here—the 22 starting position players, third wide receiver, second tight end, nickel defensive back, punt returner, kickoff returner, punter, place kicker and long snapper. The rankings are purely subjective and they reflect my view of the players [...]

Redskins in-game chat returns tonight

Rich Tandler — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:32:12 +0000

Due to the late start to tonight’s game, I’ll be chatting over at CSNwashington.com during the game rather than doing the post-game format. This will be for this week only. Following the Dallas game and throughout the season I’ll be hosting post game chats at CSN. So, drop on by and we’ll talk about the game, [...]

Bubble will burst for 22 Redskins

Rich Tandler — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:48:18 +0000

Mike Shanahan says it’s the least favorite part of his job: “I think the toughest thing is going down to the 53-man squad because you just told somebody that the dream that they’ve been dreaming is not going to be realized, at least here,” he said. “What I tell them is that I’m hoping that if [...]

Are the Redskins a Playoff team?

Rich Tandler — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:11:14 +0000

It seems like every year at least one NFL team rises from the bottom to the top. Fans around D. C. are asking, “Why not the Redskins?” Some reasons why the Redskins will make the playoffs this year, and some reasons why they won’t, are presented in this week’s edition of the wildly popular Point-Counterpoint: Point-Counterpoint: [...]

Rick Maese of the Post is reporting that Byron Westbrook is still a Redskin and that he will travel with the team to Arizona today and will suit up and play tomorrow. Confirmed: Byron Westbrook is still a member of the #Redskins. Making the trip to AZ today and will play in Thursday’s game The real headline [...]

QB’s Beck and Bartel try to hang on

Rich Tandler — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:01:58 +0000

While questions swirl about Donovan McNabb’s status for the Dallas game (note: he’s going to play), John Beck and Richard Bartel will audition for a job that may not exist. Each of the two quarterbacks has a distinct advantage over the other. Beck has the better background. He came out of Brigham Young as a second-round [...]

Westbrook released?

Rich Tandler — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 11:51:46 +0000

Adam Schefter tweeted this morning that the Redskins have released Byron Westbrook. The timing seems odd in that the team got down to the 75-player limit on Tuesday by releasing four layers and putting Malcolm Kelly on injured reserve. But Schefter doesn’t often toss out random information like that at 7:30 in the morning unless [...]

Redskins Offensive Depth Chart Review

Rich Tandler — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 17:45:12 +0000

After looking at the defense in detail, here’s a look at the Redskins’ offense. In-Depth Chart Review–Offense Offensive Tackle Left: Trent Williams, Will Robinson, Selvish Capers Right: Jammal Brown, Stephon Heyer, Clint Oldenburg Capers’ stock is up; he seems to be a natural zone blocker and his pass blocking skills are improving. Heyer has started 28 games for the Redskins but he may [...]

Depth chart review–Defense

Rich Tandler — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:30:17 +0000

Over the summer, I published a series of articles examining the Redskins’ depth chart in depth. Since then the team has gone through two weeks of training camp, a backup quarterback trade, the release of Mike Shanahan’s official depth chart and they are about to play their first preseason game. Things have shuffled around since [...]

Join me at CSN for post-game chat

Rich Tandler — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 13:57:02 +0000

Well, after over four years of live blogging virtually every Redskins game as it happened, I’m going to have to give it up. My new job with CSNwashigton.com will prelude me from being able to conduct live blogs during the game. The good news is that you still will have a chance to discuss and vent [...]
