WFT's Defense Has Been Surprisingly Inconsistent. What Needs to Be Modified?

The Washington Football Team has got to find a way to win a football game. Not win the division. Not go on a winning streak. Just win one game. After Week 1, I wrote an article about this team being "legitimate" and what it would take for them to sustain that title. Well ladies and gentlemen, they have done none of that. They have been fools gold ever since that first game ended as they have lost five games in a row. The crazy thing is that they go into Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys one game away from having the first overall draft pick if they lose, but also only one game from being the division leaders, in a porous NFC East. Coming into the season, I think most expected the offe

Who's to Blame for the Lack of Washington's Offensive Production?

The Washington Football Team has lacked offensive production this season. Who is to blame for the lack of plays being made on the offensive side of the football? The team benched second year quarterback Dwayne Haskins in favor of third year quarterback Kyle Allen last week. The idea was that Allen would provide the best chance for Washington to win NOW while Haskins falls back to third string until he is ready. There were many speculations on what the reason for the change was, but no one can dispute Haskins did not play well. Does that mean he was the sole reason for the teams’ ineptness offensively? Absolutely not. The proof was in the pudding last week when the offense looked just as bad,

Quarterback Shake Up in Washington: Some Key Takeaways

What exactly is it that Washington Football fans want? The organization hires Ron Rivera and it’s all about “in Ron we trust”. Four games and one quarterback change later, it’s “what is Ron Rivera doing” and “Rivera has got to go”. I admit that during this three-game losing streak, I have questioned more than a handful of situational play-calls on both sides of the football. Particularly on the offensive side of the football. Yesterday, second year starting quarterback Dwayne Haskins was demoted to third string, and third year quarterback Kyle Allen was promoted to starter and Alex Smith to back-up. Washington is coming off its third straight loss by double digits and is looking for a spark

The Time is Now for Dwayne Haskins

I’ve had enough of all the Dwayne Haskins apologists this week after that porous performance last Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. We get it. Washington needs to upgrade at wide receiver and the offensive line has at times looked putrid. That doesn’t excuse Haskins from not being able to throw a simple out-route on third down and short. Washington’s weaknesses have been well documented prior to this season’s start. They haven’t changed. However, this is still professional football and everyone needs to be held accountable for THEIR PART. Everyone has to be held to a certain performance standard, and when they are unable to do so, they have to be pulled up on it. Week one, Haskins was not
