Washington Redskins

Spurrier says that they're trying something different with pass protections. I wonder if that means rollouts? That would be great to see because rollouts usually buy time for quarterbacks.

I think it's a shame that the Skins stuck with McCullough over Kenny Watson because I think he would have made a huge difference picking up the various blitzes. Not to overpraise him but I've never seen a group of RBs miss blitz pick-ups as poorly as the Skins backs have done this year.

It's good to hear Spurrier say that he wants to get the ball in Coles' hands more. As to whether or not he'll actually be able to accomplish that, who knows...

At 3-5 and with a rough schedule ahead, it's hard to see much happening for the Skins this season. They just have to take one game at a time and see what happens.

Looking ahead to next year, it would be great if Russell panned out and re-signed to repay the chance the Skins took with him. Then in the draft or via free agency, the team would need to go hard after a young pass-rushing DE as good as Suggs or Freeney.
