lavar703 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I think it's odd that Louis Riddick hasn't been seriously considered for a GM job yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTTRDynasty Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Pretty interesting. The third paragraph really gets to the heart of who Alex Smith was as a player pretty much his whole career until last season. Other than Tyreek Hill's emergence, maybe this is the biggest reason for the switch that seemed to flip for him last year (it might have taken a season or two for the lesson he learned to sink in)?

HTTRDynasty Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Five teams who could surprise with an NFL Wild Card appearance in 2018 Quarterback Kirk Cousins is out, but despite Cousins making more in Minnesota, the Redskins might actually be better off with Alex Smith after acquiring him from the Kansas City Chiefs via trade. Smith is coming off the highest graded season of his career at 87.2 last season, and has consistently graded at 80.3 or higher every season since 2011. Most impressive last season was how good Smith was throwing the ball downfield, tied for the league lead with 12 touchdowns on throws 20 yards or further downfield. “But Tyreek Hill!” I hear you scream. Yes, Hill helped Smith out, but only six of those deep touchdowns went to Hill as Smith still made plays downfield to other receivers. Furthermore, the Redskins added Paul Richardson, who himself had three deep receiving touchdowns in 2017 and they should have tight end Jordan Reed back healthy. Add in the talents of rookie running back Derrius Guice out of LSU and this offense could take a significant step forwards. We didn’t love the value in selecting Da’Ron Payne as high as they did, but he adds strength to their run defense, with 27 tackles resulting in a defensive stop against the run in his final season at Alabama. He rejoins his former teammate Jonathan Allen, who racked up three sacks, three hits and 10 hurries through his first five games before injury ended his rookie season. With more strength up front, the Redskins defense should be expected to improve too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Jon Allen only had one sack in his first 4.5 games, not 3. Not sure how hard it was for them to look that up. It’s why I predict he’ll have 5 - at most 7 sacks - next year instead of near 10. Allen gets doubled, that frees up Ioannidis and McGee to go one on one and will free up Payne and Lanier to go one on one too.

Jeezy Fanatic Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 "It's been almost 10 years to the day since I graduated from the U" Funny Alex, I don't remember seeing you in green and orange.

They count half-sacks as 1 sack. They must have given Allen credit for an extra half-sack somewhere through the first 5 games that he wasn't given through other stat sources.

We aren't a Super Bowl contender either. Trading for Alex Smith doesn't change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, we'd have to be one of those teams that catches lightning in a bottle towards the end of the season to have a chance of actually winning one, but stranger things have happened. No one thought of Philly as a SB contender this time last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying about equal at QB while improving your running back and your defense (on paper) improves your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
