Alright everyone, since cuts have been made and rosters are shaping up, name strengths and weaknesses and use them to rate the team. Just follow the directions i made. Have fun and feel free to criticize mine. I put a lottttt of time in to this lol so feedback would be greatly appreciated.
*IMP* signifies importance
Redskins
OFFENSE *By strength rating and importance level (add 1 to *IMP* positions and average out. round to .5) 7.7/10 77
QB--Strength 8/10 *IMP*
Ramsey/Brunell: Both legitimate starters, creates great one two punch.
RB--Strength 9/10 *IMP*
Portis: Stats speak for themself, although many say he is a system back.
FB--Weakness 5/10
Sellers/Cartright: Sellers' better days are behind him. Cartright is decent but still an unknown around the league.
WR--Strength 8/10 *IMP*
Coles/Gardner/McCants/Jacobs/Thrash: Depth depth and more depth. McCants had a great year last year, but I dont expect him to live up to the expectations this year. Jacobs was a 1st rounder who slipped to the upper 2nd. He had an injury-plagued rookie year, but look for him to break out and take over as 3rd receiver.
TE--Weakness 5/10
Cooley: 3rd round rookie...Upside is he is smart which is very important for a joe gibbs H back. As for everything else...we'll see.
OL--Push 7/10 *IMP*
Samuels/Jansen/Thomas/Dockery/Raymer: I said push because Samuels, Jansen, and Thomas were all monsters pre-Spurrier. Spurrier really made the OLine look bad last year and I hear many (given they are ignorant people) say that the Redskins have one of the worst Olines in the league. A return to smashmouth football should shut people like this up.
DEFENSE *Add 1 to *IMP* marked positions and average. 7.3/1073
DL--Glaring Weakness 2/10 *IMP*
Griffin/Daniels/Underachiever/Overpaid waste: Not much to say...Pretty horrible
LB--Strength 9/10 *IMP*
Arrington/Washington/Barrow: Two outstanding blitzing outside linebackers in their prime and a MLB that led the NFC in tackles last season. Barrows best days are however behind him, but its hard to screw up with Arrington and Washington beside u.
CB--Push 7/10 *IMP*
Smoot/Springs/Harris/Brown: Smoot will be a monster this year. He is a team leader who did not give up a touchdown last season. You may not know his name yet, but you will this year. Springs is much more of an uncertainty. If he can stay healthy, he will be productive, but of course not to the level Bailey was. Walt Harris was a starter for the Colts last year and Ralph Brown started the 2nd half of the season for the Giants last year so they will definately be formidable 3rd and 4th corners. We also still have our nickel back from last year in Rashad Bauman. I said push because Springs will make or break this one.
S--Strength 8/10
Taylor/Bowen/Ohalete: Bowen is a SS that was forced to play FS last year. He took bad pursuit angles at timesbut also can hit like a madman. Fans either loved him or hated him. Ohalete is more of a playmaker, but could try to do too much at times. Taylor comes in as the automatic FS. It has been said that they will move Bowen back to his more natural position of SS. Many Redskins fans are split on who should play SS, so obviously the talent level is close. Either way we have a backup with a starters talent which is always good for depth. Taylor will be a monster in a few years so watch for it. He's a true Football Freak.
SPECIAL TEAMS *All same importance levels so no adding on. Just average out. 7.7/10 77
K--Strength 8/10
Hall: Dependable...Not great, but dependable, which is all I need.
P--Push 7/10
Tupa: Won't make mistakes, but not outstanding.
KR--Strength 8/10
Morton/Thrash: Both very good return men. They aren't Daunte Hall, but they do have big play ability.
COACHING *Add one to the *IMP* (head coach) since it is more important than off and def coordinator. 9.3/10 93
Head Coach--Strength 10/10 *IMP*
Joe Gibbs: Most glorified coach in Redskins history. One of the best the NFL has ever seen. But has the game passed him by? haha hell no
Off Coordinator--Strength 8/10
Don Breaux/Joe Bugel: Gibbs will be running the offense so Breaux doesn't matter but it's still Breaux's name on there so I will go by it. Bugel (the assistant coach) however is the best offensive line coach around and one of the best in history.
Def Coordinator--Strength 9/10
Gregg Williams: Made the Titans in to one of the top defensive teams in the league when he was the coordinator there. He made the Bills the 2nd ranked defense when he was there last year.
OVERALL *average out the four 8.0/10 80
Offense
77
Defense
73
Special Teams
77
Coaching
93
Overall
80
There ya go...After all that, the Skins came out as an 80 in my eyes. I spent a good amount of time on this so dont shy away from tellin me what u think lol id like some feedback and to see some more of these if anyone else is as big a freak about the Skins as i am haha
